Everyone\u2019s stomachs<\/p>\n
On Monday, host Bree Tomasel welcomed Kahu to the island\u2019s very own grocery store. <\/p>\n
Their quest was to make her a tasty breakfast \u2013 and pocket money for their charity prizes \u2013 by being crowned best chef. <\/p>\n
Instead, they treated it as their very own grocery grab, stuffing their faces with items from the shelves, then panicked, poured some cold baked-bean juice on to a bagel, presented it to Tomasel, and swiftly left.<\/p>\n

Ria Vandervis<\/p>\n
The actor spent most of this week confused, until she wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
She wanted to be loyal to her former Shortland Street husband Ben Barrington, who absolutely never wanted to be loyal to her. <\/p>\n
Then she wanted to be loyal to the newly formed \u201cOvary Alliance\u201d of all females, but she wanted to make sure Barrington was sweet with it first. Someone might need to tell the Shorty star that\u2019s not how female empowerment works. <\/p>\n
But then, in a bold move, she threw a face-off and handed the win to Georgia Lines, proving her loyalty to the ladies and enabling them to put some men up for elimination. It was the CTIversion of a \u201cNo boys allowed\u201d sign on a bedroom door that had me reaching for my Faber-Castells and a sheet of A4. <\/p>\n
Vandervis also pocketed $7500 for her charity for coming runner-up in the grocery grab and then winning a cinnamon and sunscreen sniffing contest. What will they think of next? <\/p>\n

Frank Bunce<\/p>\n
Bunce proved himself to be the team player Takapu needed when he found Liv Parker in a moment of self-doubt. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know it\u2019s hard to say \u2018believe in yourself\u2019, and you just go believe in yourself. But from what we\u2019ve seen over the last few days, you\u2019ve got so many skills and talents,\u201d the All Black legend told the young comedian. <\/p>\n
Motivational speeches aside, Bunce decided this was the week to flip the competitive switch. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s time for me to step up,\u201d he said before destroying a plastic tub with his face and eating a banana with no hands in a charity challenge. <\/p>\n
\u201cEven though you are in the middle of a challenge, man, this banana is sweet,\u201d Bunce declared, and honestly, it was poetic. <\/p>\n

Nix Adams<\/p>\n
Adam\u2019s one-liners are fuelling these weekly recaps nearly as abundantly as the energy drink she snagged in the grocery grab fuelled her. <\/p>\n
She\u2019s got that game-winning and guarana energy, and I will never tire of it. <\/p>\n

Louis Davis<\/p>\n
\u201cThe individual game is a better place for me. Let\u2019s do it,\u201d Davis told us this week. <\/p>\n
He was instantly proved right, winning the series\u2019 first individual face-off. <\/p>\n
His prize? A Mexican fiesta and the ability to decide who was put up for elimination. He picked Te Ao o Hinepehinga and Georgia Lines.<\/p>\n
Georgia Lines ended up with a lot of power \u2013 and not just in her toes.<\/p>\n
Georgia Lines<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the singer was finally tested on the island, when she was put up against Te Ao o Hinepehinga in a classic Treasure Islandelimination challenge \u2013 foot build. <\/p>\n
Lines\u2019 feet and core proved to be the strongest, and she took the win, an advantage and sent Hinepehinga packing. <\/p>\n
Lines also won the face-off, which gave her the power to put two players up for elimination. She and the Ovary Alliance conspired before settling on setting Barrington against Zion Dayal. But who was victorious? <\/p>\n
Liv Parker (right) is confused after wanting an all-female alliance, but also wanting to be loyal to Louis. Time for a trip inside the mind palace doll. Photos \/ TVNZ<\/p>\n
Liv Parker<\/p>\n
Week three let us inside the comedian\u2019s mind palace. During an endurance challenge, Parker took a nice little trip there, and it turns out her palace is located in Forks, Washington \u2013 and is actually just the movie Twilight looped in her brain. <\/p>\n
But when the challenge started to hurt, she changed her mind palace, because \u201cI don\u2019t want to associate Twilight with pain\u201d. Team Wisdom. <\/p>\n

Zion \u2018The Giant Slayer\u2019 Dayal<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to know where to start with this week\u2019s big winner, now known to camp as \u201cThe Giant Slayer\u201d.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Dayal was put up for elimination against Portia Woodman-Wickliffe, and Woodman-Wickliffe was flattered. <\/p>\n
\u201cI would want to go up against the best, and that\u2019s Zion,\u201d the Black Fern said about her opponent in a puzzle challenge.<\/p>\n
