- Jordan, you've fought hard
in this game from day one.

- Wait a second, Jayden.
I'm holding the mercy card.
Jordan earned this for our team.

READS: 'This card gives its
holder the power to save a
player from elimination.

'It must be used before the
eliminated player leaves the arena.'

I'm using it now.

- So, he pulls this mercy card,
and Blair looks at me, and he's
just like...

'Do I use it?'
And I was just like, 'Yeah.

'Yep, you do.'

- Wait a second, Jayden.

(TENSE STRING MUSIC)

This game.

You were amazing today, bro.

It gives me no pleasure
to do this.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

READS: 'Advantage blocker.

'This scroll can be used
to block any advantage played.'

I'm using it now.

- (MOUTHS)

- I love you, bro.
You're incredible.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

- OK, let me just get this straight ―

Eli, you played an advantage
to save Jordan;

Blair, you're playing
your advantage to block Eli's.

Wow.

Huge play in this game.

- Love you guys. I appreciate
the journey that I've had with
you, straight up.

Blair, brother,
no hard feelings, bro.

That's how it goes, man. That's
how it goes. That's how it goes.

Looking forward to seeing my baby.
Looking forward to getting home,
bro.

- You're a warrior, bro. It truly has
been a pleasure to be a part of your
journey on this game.

Sad to see you go.

- Shot, brother.

(APPLAUSE)

Love you guys.

Love you guys.

Did not see that one coming.

Thank you, bro.

Yeah, it's intense.

- (SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

- Go hard, oi. Go hard, whanau.

See you guys. See you guys.
Have a good one, man.

See you, bro. It's all good.

(SIGHS) Well played, Blairsie.
Touche.

It's a very smart play.

See you, whanau.
- TURIA: Ka kite.

- Shot, Jords.
- NICK: Kia ora, brother.

- But, man,
it was just all the emotions.

Like, I'm going home; I'm staying;
oh, no, I'm going home again.

It was just, like...
(IMITATES WHOOSHING)

Yeah, it lived up
to every single second of its
reputation, this crazy game.

It is a bit of a mind twist, but,
um, nah, nothing personal over some―

what he needed to do. I appreciated
the kind words from him before he,
um, put the dagger inthe back.

Nah. (CHUCKLES) Nah. (LAUGHS)

Kind of, you know what I mean.
(LAUGHS)

- There's a rage bubbling inside me
like nothing I've ever felt.

It just makes me

furious, and I'm staring at him, and
I'm thinking, Blair, this means war.

- I look over to Eli.

Honestly, (LAUGHS)

the look that I saw in his eyes,

I'm sure he wanted to kill me,
like, about 10 times over.

And then I look over to Miri,
and Miri looks over to me.

I know...

job done.

- Oi! They're over here!

- # Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh!

# Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.

# Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh! #

- Well, that was a bit of a...
whirlwind, everything going up there.

- I can honestly
say there's no thoughts in my mind
at the moment; it's just an, uh...

an...

just an emotion, just an...
an overcoming of an emotion.

- That was an incredible performance,
brother.

For those efforts...

taking back this, my friend.
- Thank you, brother.
- Thank you.

- My wife, my son and my daughter,
they're gonna be so proud.
They're gonna be so proud.

- Awesome work, Nick.
(APPLAUSE)
- Good work, Nick.

- Nicks, you know, absolutely spent.

We're, like, all gathering around
Nick, and we're like, 'Oh my God,
Nick, are you OK?

'You did so incredible.
We love you. Anything that
you need tonight, we got you.'

(CHUCKLES) Steve Price
comes up, and he's like,

'That was the most incredible ...
thing I've ever seen in my life,
mate.

'I've never seen anything like it.'

- STEVE: You did well, mate.
Well done.

- LAUGHS: He's hyped over what he
just saw, and the rest of us are
so disturbed.

Um... So that's pretty much
the vibe of the whole thing.

Karearea must just be
not a nice place right now.

Sorry!

- (LAUGHS) Honestly, me
and Miriama are like, 'Crazy!
That was the craziest thing!'

And then Eli ―
'This game is full on.'

And all I'm thinking was,
'I need one of those scrolls.
I wanna make a move like that.'

And straight away, I'm just like,
Blair's the Winston Peters of this
game. Truly.

He's the kingmaker.

- I thought he was gonna leave.
- I thought he was leaving.
- I thought he was leaving too.

- We all come back to camp ―
'Errr...'

Record scratch.

E tu, Blair Strang.

- 'Objection, Your Honour,' he says.
- So brilliant.

- I think it was an extremely smart
tactical move on Blair's behalf,

because Jordan is a huge threat
in the game.

We saw that. He's strong.
He's a good leader.

- For us.

- He's a great communicator.

- I'm with you.

- And he's a great manipulator.

- I believe in you guys, OK?

- But if you move
the other factors out of the way,

I reckon manipulation goes to the
top of the ladder in terms of one
skill set

that you need to have on this game.

You need to be the one
to make everyone feel confident.

- ELI: We're out for blood tomorrow,
though.
- JAZZ: Oh, hell yes.

What's gonna be great is
the audience is also gonna
absolutely hate that too.

- Well, I'm gonna say something,
because... he's not a villain.

- From loveable son of a gun
to a huge (BLEEP)ing villain.

- He's not a villain;
he's playing the game, guys.

Yesterday, he was our teammate too.
You know what a great guy this guy
is

This is a game we're playing.
- You've gotta let us feel what
we wanna feel, though, Miri.

- I'm― No, I'm encouraging you,
though, to―
- Yeah, but still let us feel it.

- I'm allowed to say what I like,
and I think you just need to go,
hang on a minute,

Blair is not a villain here.
- Yeah, 'course not.
- I'm encouraging you to let go.

People need to really assess...

uh... the game

and life.

The game

and life.

And I really wanna walk away
from this with strong friendships,
no matter the game.

And that is what's more important
than anything else.

Be nice. Be good.
We're all good people.

- The kids were off
planning my demise.

- I was so the villain.

- So, how are
we feeling about last night?

- Yeah. Yeah.
- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
- MEL: Still reeling from that.

I cannot believe we
saw them both do that.

- After what we had just witnessed...

- JAYDEN: All right, boys,
two hours 10 minutes. Great work.

- Nice job, my bro.

I'm out.

- ...send Jordie home. Oof...

- TURIA: How long were
they up there for? Like...
- Two hours 15.

- And that's what felt
so gut-wrenching about
him doing all of that,

and then being able to be saved, and
then boom ― Blair comes out with his
card.

- Blair,
the guy from Shortland Street.

- Oh, Blair's got a huge target on
his back now. Like, massive target.

- Never seen Blair ― Blair Grylls ―
making a move like that.

What he did was a game of―
I think he'll be feeling guilty,

and I think even though we like
Blair, we don't have to show him
we like him today.

- No.

- Oh, that guy from Shortie Street
has just become public enemy number
one.

Hope he kept the keys to
the ambulance, cos he might be
needing them soon for himself.

- BREE: Ooh, I wonder if
Blair's concerned this morning.

(LAUGHTER)

Uh, nope. They've moved on.

- I don't think this is appropriate.

The energy this morning
is completely unhinged.

- How are we all feeling today?
Open you guys' minds?

- We're reliving some of the stories
from the night before ― Blair's
conspiracy theories about aliens.

- STEVE: The greys?
- Yeah, the Greys, the Nordics

and the aliens that
look a little bit like us.

- I come up last night,
and Blair is talking about how
President Eisenhower or whoever

was taken away by aliens.

- Don't worry. We got it on Osmo.
(LAUGHS)

- We've got it all on Osmo;
it's all there.

President Eisenhower, um,
he went missing for 48 hours.

People said that he was sick, but
in actual fact, there is a theory

that he went to meet with
these three alien races.

- Blair has opened my eyes.

The Greys said...

that we could keep our nuclear
power, but they just wanted to
experiment.

- Do I think Eisenhower
was abducted by aliens?
Honestly... at this point...

I've got no other information
to tell me otherwise.

Don't have a phone, don't have
a computer, don't have Google,
don't have YouTube.

I guess I'm just gonna have
to take the man's word for it.

- Well, there's too many...

unanswered questions in my view.

- What are you talking about?
And he went on this big thing
about our star signs

and people who are Aries are...

fiery or whatever. And I was
like, Blair... just baloney.

- He said Sagittarius...

all get along very well.
And that bodes well for
the Sagittarius alliance.

- BREE: Ooh, a catchy alliance name.
Can I use it?

- Yes, you can call it
the Sagittarius alliance.

- The Sagittarius alliance...

- By the way, there's a
secret Sagittarius alliance.

- The chakras are aligning,
but who's in it?

- So, we've got me, Eli, Laura,
Courtney ― all comedians.

The core group remains
the four comedians.

But, yeah, we've got a few
stragglers. We've got a few
hangers-on.

Jazz is a part of Courtney and Eli's
alliance from Karearea.

And then Matt and Turia

are also our adopted children
from Tohora.

I don't know if the stragglers
realise they're straggling.

But, as they say,
stragglers be straggling.

And I don't know if the stragglers
know who the other stragglers are.

There's a lot at play here,
and, frankly, I'm overwhelmed,

and I want a cup of tea.

- Get in here, you lot.

- What in the world...
- Curious.

- Ooh, saucy.

- Morena.
- ALL: Morena.

- Guys, I thought it was about
time that we spice things up
a little bit.

I'm talking about the challenge
which I like to call hot sauce
roulette.

On a table, we're gonna
have a bunch of different jars.

Some will have hot sauce,
and some will have tomato juice.

The aim of the game is to guess what
your opponent has just consumed.

You better have your best poker face
on, because if people get it right,
then they will receivea point.

But if you can bluff them,
then you will receive a point
for every incorrect guess.

- I'm on a team with
some incredible actors.

Everyone, in some way, is gonna
be able to put on a show here.

- All right, when you're ready,
give it a spin.

- Whee.

- Mel, how good's
your bluffing face?

- Pretty good, I think, Bree.

- Oh God. (LAUGHS)

The one thing I cannot do
in this world is spices.

- Mmm.
(GIGGLING)

- TURIA: I have a feeling
that she's very good with spice.

I don't know why, but she's,
like, into yoga and stuff.

I feel like she's, like,
in a downward dog in the morning,
and she's like, hot sauce vortex.

- Oh, she's really
had a hoon on that.

Let's see how good
your acting skills are.

- Aah. Hmm.

My vibe is to do sort of,
like, Shortland Street acting ―

kind of just, like, looking off
into the distance, like, pondering.

- Ooh. How can you tell?

- (COUGHS)
- (LAUGHS)

- Let's have a little cough.

Mel staring them down.

- (SOFTLY HUMS
'SHORTLAND STREET' THEME)

- Everyone, what do you think?
Was it the hot sauce
or the tomato juice?

- Tomato, baby.
(EXCLAIMING)

- All righty. There it is. One point
each to Matt and Jazz for getting it
right,

and three points to Miriama
for fooling the others.

- (COUGHS)
(EXCLAIMING)

- Jazz, what was it?

- (INHALES DEEPLY) It was hot sauce!
(LAUGHTER)

- You held that for so long.
- Eugh! (COUGHS)

Everything inside of me burns.

- Was it hot sauce?
Was it tomato juice? Let's see it.

- It was hot sauce.

- She's an actor. She's an actor.

Hot sauce or tomato juice?

- It was hot sauce, baby.
(CHEERING)

It was yummy.

Yeah, it was good.

- It was...

muy picante ― very spicy.
(LAUGHTER)

Ubh-ubh-ubh-ubh.
- Get him some water, stat!

Hot sauce or tomato juice?

- (BLEEP)! Ooh, sorry.
- (LAUGHS)

Well, I think we might already know
the answer, but let's just go back
for the verdict.

Mel, what was it?
- It was tomato juice!

- A point for everyone
except for Mel.

- Look...

Hot sauce, right?

- But the winner of
the $5000 for their charity...

Drum roll please.

Miriama!
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

You managed to bluff people.
You could pick people's bluff.

And you're taking home $5000
for your chosen charity.

Can you tell us a bit more about
who it is and why you're supporting
them?

- I'm supporting Coastguard New
Zealand. So, not only do Coastguard
New Zealand save people in the water

when they get in trouble,
they educate people about water.

So, no matter what you're on ―
canoe, boat, toucan ―

you too can enjoy the water.

- I love it. They literally save
people's lives, so $5000 going to
those guys.

And we had fun, didn't we?
(CONTESTANTS AGREE)

We had fun, but the fun is over,

cos it's time to head back to
your kainga and get ready for
that upcoming team face-off.

Bye, guys.

- Way to go, Miri.
- Thank you.

- 'All right, with that done and
dusted, let's get back to Nick's
clue.'

- Do you want me to open it?

- Yeah.

- I haven't seen this yet.
I'm opening it for the first time.

READS: 'Solve the riddle to find
the location of a game-changing
advantage.'

- Ooh, I love a riddle. What is it?

- 'Hidden in plain sight.

'Obstacles stand in your way.

'Your chance to grab it may be
fleeting.

'Be ready today.'

- Yeah, I got nothin'.

Maybe just sit with it for a bit.

Perfect. A little light activity
to get the brain going.

- Yeah.

- Ah, good ― feed that mind.

Ooh, yes, a little meditation,
great.

Nick, are you sleeping?

Nick, have you got it yet?

- OK...

Still don't know. (LAUGHS)

- All right,
let's try a new approach.

- So, team, yesterday I got a scroll.

I'm sharing this clue with my team,
because at this point, I'm still an
idiot,

'Your chance to grab it may be
fleeting. Be ready today.'

I love them already. I've been here
for a couple of days. I trust them.

And... it just feels
right in the moment.

- I think it'll be in sight,
but it'll be in sight of the
other team as well, potentially.

And it kind of gives us
an indication that it's going
to be at the next face-off.

If your chance is fleeting,
then I reckon it's on the walk in.

So we kinda need
to get there before they do.

- You're quick.

Quite quickly,
Loz deciphers the clue.

- I'm familiar with these riddles.

- READS: My message clear ―
I welcome all far and near.

- Mel sent us on
two wild goose chases.

Even though she's been
lying all over the place,

I've gotten enough information out
of her to know what they look like
when you find them.

- Do you know what would be
also funny to throw them off ―

if we find this clue,
just, like, dropping the scroll
somewhere where they can find it.

(LAUGHTER)

Send them on a goose chase.
That'd be funny.
- Yeah.

- I'm not sure they're ready
for another goose chase, Nick.

- Pull that out. Hold that.

- They're still busy
with Mel's last one.

- No.
- No.
- OK.

- All right, these
wild geese will have to wait,
cos it's face-off time.

- We're walking up to the face-off;
I cheekily say to the team...

Good morning. Still talking to me?

Silence. And Miri's going...

like that.

Yeah, so... Whoof!

- ...do the day, and I just wanna
say good morning to everyone except
Blair.

- Good morning, Eli.
(SOFT CHUCKLING)

- I can see that he is reliving
the death stare that I gave him
last night.

- All right,
shall we jump into this take?
- CONTESTANTS: Yep.

- For this challenge, both teams
will start out on the pontoon.

On 'timata', you must swim out around
the buoy and back to your pontoon.

Once everyone is back on the
pontoon, one player must grab a
sandbag and swim back to shore.

There, you will use
the catapult to shoot your sandbag
at your team's coloured targets.

Regardless of whether you hit or
miss, you will swim back out to the
pontoon and tag in the next shooter.

Every player
must shoot at least once, and no
player can shoot twice in a row.

- And I look to this catapult, and
I see a little brown bag hanging on
it.

And I say to Nick,
'It's over there.'

- First team to knock down
all of their targets wins.

The kaihautu of the winning team
will decide who will face off in
today's elimination battle.

- Obviously, big power up for grabs
today, guys, but you wanna know what
else you're playing for, right?

- CONTESTANTS: Yep.

- It's nachos!
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

That's right, guys ― a nice, big
plate of succulent, cheesy nachos
is up for grabs.

- Yum.

- You guys think
that's worth playing for?
- CONTESTANTS: Yeah!

- You want the nachos?
- Yeah!

- As soon as Jayden says, 'Let's get
it,' I make a run for the catapult.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

The moment I hand it over,
the thought crosses my mind,

wow, you really could've
just kept that, Laura.

- All right, playing for the
cheesy nachos and the power,
teams, kua reri, you ready?

(CONTESTANTS SHOUT)

Timata!

Both teams in the water.

They need to get around
that buoy, back to their pontoon,
then they can attempt to shoot.

- We're swimming for this buoy ―
it feels like you're going
the wrong way on the motorway.

It is full chaos in the water.

- Steve, Blair back to their pontoon.

Teams struggling to get up.

- I was so sure I was gonna be able
to just (STRAINS) hoist myself up
and use my muscles.

- Nick with a different technique.

Tohora have found the ladder.

Karearea waiting on Matt,
then they can go.

Tohora, they're all back.

Blair's in the water.

Miriama right behind them.

- Um, the sack's quite heavy;
it's quite hard to swim with.

So I decide to throw it.

- Blair throws his sandbag ahead;
now he's gotta go get it.

- Unfortunately, it doesn't hit
the shallow part of the beach.

- Blair has lost
his sandbag in the water...

- I wondered what he was doing.

- ...giving Miriama a huge lead here.

- Can't find it. Gotta go back.

- Blair must come back to
the pontoon, tag someone else in.

- Terrible start.
Clearly, Eli's affected my game.

- Pricey in the water.

Miriama ― can she hit it?

- Not enough juice on that one.

- Can Steve be the first person
to hit these targets?

He shoots!

Just misses!

What can Mel do?

- Yes, Mel!

- So close!

- Here we go. Nick Afoa.

He had a long battle yesterday ―
over two hours.

Doesn't look like it's affected him.

- Nick ― he shoots.

Skims off the water, hits the target!

- That's what we want! And, look ―
he's back in like a torpedo.

- Eli steps up ― one-handed.

Will it work?

It does!
- Oh!

Eli!

- I get my first one, and then I
swim back, and I am so cold that
I need to take a little break.

- Can James, the captain of Tohora,
take one down?

- I don't know what
I'm bloody doing.

You swim out for about 20 minutes,
and then you get one attempt.

And then, of course ― worst shot
anyone's ever done in the history
of Celebrity Treasure Island.

And then I have to swim back.

This sucks.

- You get a feeling Blair could've
put a little bit of a target on his
back last night.

He really needs his team
to win this.

- Eli's impact has hit me again.
I'm just all over the place with
my game.

- He shoots.

He scores!

Mel's up.

Great shot from Mel!

Nick with another skim shot.

(KAREAREA GROAN)
Through a gap!

The swimming's starting
to wear on them.

- I did not prepare for this.
It's too far. It's too cold.
We're freezing up there.

- JAZZ: The water is so cold.

- It even crosses my mind to start
doing burpees to keep me warm,

But then I was like, oh, then I'll
probably drown on the swim back,

cos I'll be so tired
from the burpees.

Then I'm like, 'Body heat, guys.'
(CHUCKLES)

- We've been out here for 30 minutes
now. We're not making much progress.

We're gonna make it a little
bit easier for everyone.

Pick up your crates,
get back in to shore.

- Thank the bloody heavens
they've changed the rules.
That was too hard.

I'm feeling good.
I'm warm, and I'm ready for action.

- STEVE: Be the sandbag, cuz.

(CHEERING)

- So satisfying when you get it,
and so fun.

(MIRIAMA GRUNTS)
- Miri's up.

(CHEERING)

- So good, Miri. I got a feeling
we're gonna hit two at once.

(CHEERING)
- Steve takes out two with one hit.

- Ooh, dammit. (CHUCKLES)

- The force of
Steve Price's slingshot could almost
just smash the whole platform apart.

Who let Thor in the game?
That's not fair.

- Let's go, Jimbo.

(CHEERING)

- It's so cute seeing proud dad
Steve being like, 'Jimmy, you're
doing it, mate!'

- See, Jimmy ― be positive, mate.

Don't be anxious.

- MATT: Let's go, Turia. Yes!

(CHEERING)
- Turia hits one.
She nearly makes it a second.

Karearea trying to catch up here.

(CHEERING)
- So good!

- Karearea have 11 left;
Tohora only have six ―

got a five-target lead.

- We are really in trouble.

At this point,
I haven't hit any boards.

I'm actually starting
to stress a little bit

that I'm gonna be the one that lets
the team down in this challenge.

(EXCLAIMING)
- Oh-ho!

Didn't expect that to hit; it does!

- There is no way we are catching up
to them, but also, you never know
with this game, so keep going!

- Get it!

(CHEERING)

Yeah!
(CHEERING)

(CHEERING)
Here we go!

- I'm watching everyone's
power pose, and I just think,
God, this is a powerful team.

Miriama looks crazy.

Turia looks so tough.

Matt Gibb is just keen
to get every last one.

Jazz looks like lightning out there.

- (SHOUTS)

- I love our vibe.

- Karearea need to hit
four more to catch up.

- Yes!
- Now they need five!

- Nice.

- Matty hits one!

Mel hits another one!

- LAURA: Oh shit.

- Matt's just hit one;
can he get another?

He does!

- I do love a comeback!

Leshgo!

- Blair ― he wants one.

- Aargh. Nah.

- Let's go, Jazzy!

- Jazz hits the base.

It wobbles! It falls!

Karearea have caught up!
- Jazz, you did it!

- Nick misses.

Eli hits!

Karearea take the lead
for the first time!

- I hope you're on the edge of your
seat, cos you're not gonna need the
rest of it!

- Aargh!

- What happened there?

- Who's hitting it next?

- Oh, you (BLEEP).

(CHEERING)
- Karearea have one target left.

Nick hits one!

Ooh!

Close from Courtney.

(ELI GROANS)

James back up to the plate.
What can the captain do?

He can sink one!
We are down to one target each!

- LAURA: Let's go, capitan.
- STEVE: Let's go, cuz.

(CHEERING)

- We are down to one target each!

Can he sink this one?

- MATT: Yes! Ooh!
(EXCLAIMING)

(EXCLAIMING)

- Laura, Jazz ―
will they be the ones to win it?

- Oh!
- Oh!

- OK, Eli. Go, go, go, go!

Something comes over me, and I can
just see victory so clearly for Eli.

- Come on, Eli. Finish it up.
- Show us how it's done, Eli.

I told him he was gonna
blow it to smithereens.

I absolutely visualised that plank
just exploding from his sandbag.

Oh, yes!

Oh man.

So it's up to me.

- Ooh!

Damn, there it is!

- Matt takes the last target.

- COURTNEY: That was bloody close.
- STEVE: It's all good.

- Aah! (LAUGHS)
(CHEERING)

Every single one of us contributed
to that win. We all got boards down.

It's not about any one player.

But at the same time,
it was nice getting the last one.

- Karearea, epic battle.
What a comeback.

Eli, as the kaihautu of
the winning team, you have a huge
decision to make. How's it feel?

- Um... It feels nice for a change,
actually.

- Revenge.
(LAUGHTER)

- (CHUCKLES)

Yeah. It's OK.

- Everyone, it's time
to head back to your kainga.

Jayden will see you shortly to find
out who will battle it out to stay
in this game. We'll seeyou later.

- See ya.
- See ya.
- Ka kite.

- So, first win for us as the...

Karearea, the re-bird.
How you feeling, skip?

- I wonder if they're just
all thinking, 'He'll put Blair up
cos he was pissed last night.'

I would love to see...

Miriama take down Steve.
- WHISPERS: Oh my God.

- That is what I wanna see.
- That's... That's blockbuster.

- Of all the players here,

she's probably actually
the primary person I wouldn't wanna
go up against in elimination.

I think she's the biggest threat
in that arena, and that is why
she could take down Steve.

- Obviously, if that is the case...

the swap comes into play.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Do you reckon they'll use it?

- I think if James has got his
head on his shoulders, he won't
want Steve in the merge.

- Yeah.
- And he'll let it happen.

But I'm sure they'll think we'll
be gunning for Blair because of
what happened.

- Well, James,
is that what you think?

- I reckon Eli's gonna put Steve up,
cos he's basically our strongest
player.

But I wanna protect Steve.

Blair ― I've only known him for
a few days, and I still have this
godforsaken swap-out card.

Why?! (CHUCKLES)

I wish I never had this bloody...

- (CLEARS THROAT) James, behind you.

- Ah.

Hey! (CHUCKLES)

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

I thought you were gonna come and
be like, 'Hey, I've actually got a
scroll that puts you up tonight.'

- (LAUGHS) No.
- (CHUCKLES)

OK, sorry, yes.

I'm sick of this card making me
so anxious and constantly worrying
should I play it, should I not?

I can't handle it.

- So, what's the plan?

- There is a part of me that
thinks a bit of drama would be fun.

But also, they are so ni―

I wish they were nasty, awful men,

and then I could be like,
'Off you go.

'Bye.' But instead, I'm like,
'Goddamn it, you are so nice!'

And it's got to the point where
I'm like, I really want them to stay.

But also,
they're both strong competition,
and so I know that for my game,

they probably need to go.

- Thanks, James.
That didn't clear up much.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

- I'm a target, no question.
After what I saw last night,
you know, when I played the card,

and, you know, I saw Eli's face...

READS: This scroll can be used
to block any advantage played.

I've got to the stage now where,
you know, it is what it is.

If I'm up, I'm up.

- Welcome back to elimination.

Whoever loses this battle will be
asked to leave the game immediately,

missing out on the $100,000
grand prize for their charity.

Eli, come on up.

- After what happened last night,
I gotta say I woke up with, like,
two dual visions,

and one vision was, like...

I think, even though we like
Blair, we don't have to show
him we like him today.

And then there was another vision
in my head of, like...

I would love to see...

Miriama take down Steve.

But I think also if I'm gonna make
the wrong choice, all the headlines
will come out on therecaps

and be like, 'Eli Matthewson ― most
useless captain on CTI history.'

(TENSE MUSIC)

- Eli, who are you
putting up from Tohora?

- Mr Steve Price.

- Pricey. All right.

- I know James has got a swap card,
but I also know we might be getting
pretty close to merging.

And I'm sure James doesn't
want Steve in that merge.

So I'm hoping if he's thinking
strategically, he won't use the
swap card,

and we can get rid of
the only actual athlete in
the game. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

- From Karearea?

- Miriama.

- I'm not surprised at all. I was
fully expecting from the moment I
woke up this morning

to be going up for the elimination.

- Actually...

Bonjour.

- Bonjour, James.

- Got a little card to play.

- Oh, look at all the cards.
(LAUGHTER)

- No, not that one, sorry.
(LAUGHTER)

Oh, no, no, not that either.

READS: 'Captain's right to pick.

'Don't like which
of your teammates your opposing
kaihautu put up for elimination?

'Use this advantage to swap
in a different player also
from your team.'

- All right,
you're swapping out Steve.
- Yes.

- Who are you swapping him out for?
- Gonna swap in Blair.

- Yeah, baby. Let's do this, man.

- Obviously, I wanted Steve out.

But if we can get Blair out,
thanks, James.

- Also, these are...

not― well, one of them's already
been used. I just thought it'd be
funny. Sorry.

(LAUGHTER)
- Don't tell them that!

- It's a stressful day.
I want to provide a laugh.
(APPLAUSE)

- Right, Eli, thank you.
You can take a seat.

Blair, how are you feeling now?
- Yeah, look, I feel real good.

You know, I've been here before, and
very proud to be up against my sis.

We've been great friends for
a long time, so this is an honour.

- Miriama, first time in the arena.
How are you feeling?

- I'm looking forward to it.
It's gonna be fun.

- For this elimination, you will
have an overhead maze with four
marked spots on it.

On 'timata', you will use a tall
stick to lift one of four blocks
up through the maze

and on to one of those spots.

If at any point you drop a block,
you must take it back to the start
and try again.

First person to land all four blocks
on the marked spots wins. Loser going
home.

Blair, Miriama, take your marks.
(APPLAUSE)

Blair, remind everyone
who you're playing for.
- Dementia New Zealand.

- And, Miriama,
who are you playing for?
- Coastguard New Zealand.

- Awesome. Beautiful charities.
(APPLAUSE)

Kua reri? Timata.

- Go, Blair. You got this, mate.
- COURTNEY: Let's go, Blair.
Come on.

- Go, Blair. But also, if you
need to return home... go home.

- MATT: Slow and steady here, Miri.
You got this.

- Both of them getting their
blocks on the stick, getting
a feel for that weight.

- Beautiful.

- But you also have to find
your way through this maze.

Both of them looking good early.

Blair looking to place
his first block.

Is it gonna stay? It does.

Blair has a block up.
He's looking for three more.

- I decided to go for the furtherest
one, because I wanted to get a feel
for the course and thebalance,

and also I felt like I would rather
have less distance to travel by the
end of it.

- Miriama decides to bypass the first
spot, taking it right to the end.

- I heard Jayden call out that
Miriama's going after the one
that's furtherest away,

and I think, ooh...

maybe her game plan is better.

- They started as teammates; now
they're fighting each other for
their spot in this game.

You do not want that block to drop.

Miriama places her first block.
She's on to her second.
Both players have one block.

Blair placing his second block.
Can he get it?

He does. Blair has two blocks.

Miriama trying to place her second.

Miriama drops her block ― has to take
it back to the start, try again.

- The blocks are actually
really heavy and so is the stick,

but it's just a matter
of getting a feel for it.

- Blair been in the elimination arena
before, quoted as saying he quite
likes it. Will it helphim here?

Miriama's first time in
the elimination arena.

- MATT: Nice, Miri.
- Miriama places her second block.
She's on her third.

- You got this. You got this.

- What I've learnt from this
game is that if you lose your
cool, you're gonna fall.

So I'm thinking, go through the
process, calm, get straight to
business.

(APPLAUSE)
- Blair places his third.
On to his last.

Blair and Miriama have opted
for different strategies ―

Blair placing from the front to the
end; Miriama placing from the end to
the front.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Can try again.
Hasn't fallen to the ground.

- Nice, Miri. Nice.

- Miriama drops her block again ―
taking it back to the start.
- MEL: It's all right. Keepgoing.

- Blair hoping
he doesn't drop this block now.

He's near the end.

He doesn't wanna go back.

Miriama having a hard time with
that block. It hasn't fallen to
the ground. She can keep going.

Just as I say that, it falls.

Blair getting close to the end.
If he lands this block, he's safe
in this game.

- Faster, Blair. I'm catching you.

- Miriama's catching him.

- Sis, I love you, my sis.
- Love you, brother.

- Ooh.

(TENSE MUSIC)

- He's going for that last block.
Will it stay? Will it drop?

Miriama's still fighting.
She's not giving up.

Blair struggling
with that last block.

Oh!

He drops! Big change in the game.

- OMG. I might be able to catch up.

- You can do this, Miri.

- Blair working his way to the end,
praying it doesn't fall again.

Can he land it this time?

He does.

Blair ― safe from elimination.

Miriama...

- Play the game, bro.
- ...going home.

- I'm stoked for my mate.
Had it been the other way around,
he would've been the same.

- Miriama, unfortunate result
here today, but you have been a
formidable force in this game.

You're not going home empty-handed.
You're taking 10K for your charity,

so I'm sure they will be very proud.
- Yeah.

- It has been a pleasure to be
a part of your journey in this game.

- I just wanna thank both teams,
cos I've been with you both,

and I wanna thank my mate Blair for
being such a formidable opposition
and also brother aswell.

Keep going.
(APPLAUSE)

Thank you!

It's been tough. I've missed my
family. I've missed my environment.

But I've had an amazing time here.
I'm really humbled by a lot of the
experiences ―

the highs, the lows,
the in-betweens.

Mwah.
- (SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
- See you.

If there's anyone in the game that
I want to have another scroll it is
Blair Strang.

He will play it when no one else
expects him to and maybe even when
he doesn't expect himself to,

and that's what I love about it.

- Blair Grylls, eh?
- Blair Grylls.

- Do you wanna look
in that pocket, mate?
- Oh. Yes, please.

- Reach in and see what you find.
- Oh gosh, it's so hard to get it
past those pecs.

(LAUGHTER)

Ah.
- It's all yours, pal.

Keep it, share it ―
you know the drill.
- I do know the drill.

So, um, yeah, looking forward to it.
Looking forward to going back to my
team,

and we're gonna sing
some NSYNC tonight.
(LAUGHTER)

- Sweet. Go take a seat, man.

(APPLAUSE)

- WHISPERS: So proud of you.

- All right, just 11 of you remain
on Treasure Island, battling it out
to see who has the upperhand.

Head back to your kainga, rest up.
Tomorrow is gonna be huge.

- Jayden did kind of leave us with
the message that tomorrow was gonna
be huge.

'Uge.

'Uge.

- What does that mean?
I don't know what that means.

- Jayden said something huge is
happening ― not just big but huge.

- I do think that the phase
of the game is about to change.

- But I'm not gonna let that shake
me. I'm gonna do what needs to be
done.

- The game is turned up to 11.

- It's just what I wanted to do in
the moment. I hope it doesn't have
any repercussions.

- And a split-second decision...

- That's backstabbing.

- ...backfires.

- I'm feeling all emotions
right now. Honestly, you don't
wanna see me when I'm pissed off.

- No one is safe.
