- The king tide seems to have brought a sea change with it.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

All of the boys will have to reveal...

if they're a nice guy,

or an Fboy.

- Oh. F...

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)

- Oh, my heart.

- Jesus.

Oh shit.

Here we go.

- Now that people are catching the feels,

it's more important than ever that my ladies know exactly who you came here as.

- My heart literally just drops.

I don't need to know this and I don't need to know this now.

(GROOVY POP MUSIC)

- No more hiding.

Taynen.

What did you come to this island as?

- I came to this island...

as a nice guy.

- Knew it? - Yeah.

- Logan.

- I came as a...

Fboy.

- People want me. People want to be me. Pretty much raw sex appeal, as you can see.

I had a Tinder message yesterday, going, 'I love your confidence, your cockiness.'

I'm like, 'Well... You know where to find me.'

- Mike, your status?

- I came here as...

an Fboy.

- Intelligent.

- Herbie. You've already told us what you came here as.

But why don't you tell us again?

- Uh, I came as a nice guy.

- Ross.

- Um, I came on here...

as a nice guy.

- John.

- I came here...

as an Fboy.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- (CHUCKLES DISBELIEVINGLY)

- Really?

- Yep.

- I'm shocked.

- I came here with a plan.

I followed it through nearly to the letter, and I got all the way

until we had to reveal our statuses.

- Tomo.

- I came here as a nice guy.

I don't think I give off many Fboy vibes.

- Sam.

- (SIGHS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

- Uh, yeah. So... So, I came here as an Fboy as well.

I went home with a chick in Ponsonby one night,

and we go in and...

there would have been six girls and then me.

You couldn't ask that for Christmas, like...

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)

- I'm pissed off that Sam didn't, you know, have anything to say when he revealed his status.

You know, I thought he would stand up there and, kind of, justify himself.

- Taite.

I've only spoken the truth and only the truth, and that's honest opinion from me.

But I've actually come here as a Fboy.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- Is that one surprising?

- Yeah. - Really? - Yeah.

- Wow. Taite's been playing this game.

- Yeah, when I'm in town, every time, I'm pretty much going home with someone different.

Had this missus, cheated on her, she didn't end up finding out until pretty much a year after

we broke up.

- Will.

- Kiera, I was kind of hoping you'd figure this out by yourself...

but I came here as a nice guy.

- I mean, you never know.

- Zac.

- OK.

If Zac is lying to me about being a nice guy and he actually is an Fboy,

that just means everything he's ever said to me is literally a f―ing lie.

- Yeah. I came here as an Fboy.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

- It doesn't mean― It― Literally, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like you or anything like that.

I, like― I know. I know.

- It's just, I asked him to― It's like, why fucking lie to me?

- No, I know, but, like, I understand it. But he can't say.

Like, it's part of the game. He can't― He couldn't― He couldn't have even said that he was anFboy.

And like― - He could have given me a hint.

- No, you're fine. - It's like, what am I meant to do if Greg's the same, as well?

Like, I'm just... (SNIFFLES) - At least we know now.

Boss bitch. Boss bitch energy.

WHISPERS: Boss bitch energy. You can do this. You can do this.

- At this point, I'm just thinking, God, if Greg is also an Fboy,

I'm never going to be able to trust anybody.

I'm done.

- Greg.

- I'd like to hope that you already know the answer to this,

but I came here as a nice guy.

(SOFT, SWEET MUSIC)

- Well, ladies, now that all has been revealed,

I'm going to give you an option.

You can eliminate these boys standing in front of you.

Or you can sub one of them out, now that you know their true status.

- Fuck. Here we go.

- Has it changed things for you?

Why don't you have a korero between yourselves and let me know?

- Oh, I'm fucked here.

(LADIES MURMUR)

- So, ladies, have you come to a decision?

- I think, you know, nice guys shouldn't finish last.

So we would like to swap out Taynen,

for John.

- So, you're going to save Taynen?

Wow.

- I gave it a damn good shot.

- Sorry, bro.

- He's always smiling. It's not funny.

- I'm here. I'm getting eliminated. But... I fooled them all.

- Allow me to say ―

Fboys,

Fbyes.

(SCATTERED APPLAUSE)

- Thank you, boys.

(SOFT MUSIC)

- Oh, can't wait for a bus trip, boys.

- To be honest, if we'd got to the end, I would not have split the money.

I've only had a very limited amount of time with her. Like, probably worked out to be, like, 4hours.

If you want to give someone 25k after 4 hours, you'd be fucking stupid.

- How the boys act around each other versus in front of the girls

can be two different sides of every person, you know.

What the girls see might not be exactly what the boys are.

Everyone's playing different games.

Adios, amigos.

Who knows what cards are going to play.

(GROOVY BASS MUSIC)

- Ross, looked like you had a killer of a day yesterday.

- So, did you talk to any girls?

(MUSIC WINDS DOWN, STOPS)

(LAUGHTER)

- I think I said hi to Kita. I think we had a passing hi to Kita.

(LAUGHTER)

- You're still here, mate. I fucking love it. I love it.

- Fuck, wish I could put a smile on now, bro. - Yeah, hard out.

- Maybe that's just been your play this whole time, is to just fly completely under the radar

and then swoop in at the end and steal all three of their hearts.

- Ooh. - King move.

- Go home with 75k and three girlfriends.

Boys didn't see that coming.

- Don't actually know what they're smiling about, but...

- Very separated.

Obviously, the nice guys have been dicking around and jumping up and down, but that's just because

they think that, somehow, that's given them an advantage or somehow they reckon they're gonna

make it to the end.

- Nice guy finishes first. - Oh, yeah. Nice guys are finishing first this in this competition.

- Fuckin' eh. - Oh, yeah.

- And I think, looking at the others, especially for me and Kita, like, you know,

she doesn't have a connection with anyone else.

- No, I had a good time.

- And these guys can jump around and laugh all they want.

But, you know, they've been here for as long as we have and they haven't got anywhere.

- Sort of a nail in the coffin for me.

- It shouldn't be that big of a deal. Like, what separates you from Greg?

- It's easy for you to say it shouldn't be a big deal, but it's obviously a huge deal for her,

because she was crying.

One of the main reasons why I was upset last night is that she doesn't believe me or anything that I say.

So, it just left me with a lot of thinking to do and a bit of a game plan to try to work out,

to try and make her believe in me.

# Didn't have much coming up, but we managed.

# Paid on the first, by the fifth, they would vanish.

# No, I can't afford to be down bad or panicked or deal with the damage,

# I turn to a savage. #

- These boys have come on as Fboys. Like they know they're going to get ratted out at some point.

- Yeah. - Expect us to be upset when we hear about it.

Like, don't get annoyed at the fact we've found out.

- Yeah, that's what annoyed me with Zach and Sam, is they sat there all depressed.

- Yeah. - Like, 'Oh. Oh.' Sam. Like, he kind of just stood up and was like,

'Oh, yeah. I'm an Fboy,' and sat back down.

Like, I thought we had more, like, a connection, that he would address me,

but he couldn't even look me in the eye.

I guess I'm just kind of thinking at the moment, like, we've got such a good connection,

was it all a lie? Like, was he faking it?

Like, did he come here for money? Why did he come here as an Fboy?

Like, I've just got so many questions that I need answers to.

- But they're more upset that they're like, 'Oh, we've been stitched up,'

rather than be like, 'Oh, no, like, I've fucked up. I've upset the person that I genuinely careabout.'

So it's like, do you even care about us?

I'm going to let him know I'm going to give him the opportunity to change,

but to be honest, I don't see it going any further.

- You don't think your opinion is going to change? - Not really, no.

And to be honest, like, I have strong feelings for Greg.

I'd rather pursue that than go for someone who's burnt me.

# Keep your eyes closed,

# but your mind woke.

# Let's catch a flight, go. #

- How do you think Kiera's feeling?

- Oh, fuckin', like shit, eh? Bro, I only just started making the connection,

and then, now, boom.

Last night, when I was trying to sleep, my whole brain was just like,

(BEEPS) Didn't know what was going on,

focusing on what I was going to try say if I get a date, and then if I don't get a date,

I feel like I'm pretty much gone.

You know, you can still be a nice guy and be an Fboy.

As far as I'm concerned, it just means that we came in here with,

you know, haven't found that person yet.

- Kiera, how are you feeling about Will?

- See, I was just, like, looking at you with, like, tears of joy.

I was just like, (PRETENDS TO SOB) - I know.

I find Will is a nice guy, and I feel stupid. I guess I just wanted to be, kind of, expectingthe worst.

Maybe I was worried about, I don't know if I'm going to call it love bombing, but, like,

he just had his eyes set on me.

It's been such a smooth sailing journey that I'm like, when's our hiccup gonna be?

But yeah, I'm― Obviously, I'm happy. And as of Taite, he must be shitting himself.

Like, he knows two of my guys are nice guys, but at the same time, like, I would say,

I've got more of a connection with Taite over Herbie. I don't know.

- Tell me, how was your pool party? - I had a sick pool party.

(LAUGHTER)

- Oh, my God. - Am I allowed to?

I thought I'd go for it. I thought I'd go for it.

Got swerved, mate, but yeah. Shit, laughed it off. Took it on the chin.

It didn't seem too awkward, like, she didn't go, 'Ew. Yuck, no, you're gross.'

And all― So, I was happy about that.

- My mind is still all over the place.

I literally don't know what I'm going to do because I really like Tom as well.

I guess I'm still trying to work out if it is more friendship or romantic.

- Well, we better get ready for the day. - I think we've got some good plans.

- Yeah, I'm going to grill Taite, because honestly, he is a Fboy and I want to know why.

(GROOVY BASS MUSIC)

- I've never done paddle-boarding before, so I'm gonna let you take the charge. (LAUGHS)

- Oh, sweet. Shall we just take one, then? - Yep.

- Beauty. See how it goes, eh?

- Taite being a Fboy, it really has caught me off guard and I just feel like we have so much incommon

and I do feel like he is a really down to earth guy.

I didn't think he was, maybe, smart enough to, kind of, trick me, in a way.

I dunno.

- How are you feeling, after yesterday, though?

- No serious chats. (LAUGHS) No serious chats.

I'm going to let him sweat a little bit more.

Like, 'Let's go on a nice paddleboard and then I'll grill you after, when I feel like it.'

(GROOVY POP MUSIC)

- So, I see this little picnic down there on the beach, for me and Kiera,

and that's when the butterflies start kicking in.

It's, uh, do I tell the truth or do just lie the hell out of myself?

- I mean, obviously I know that we can have fun together, and stuff like that,

but I just wanted to see if there was anything more, like, of a connection there

and also why you came up as a Fboy, because I'm slightly pissed off about it.

- I honestly reckon, just, Fboy's just a title. Like, everyone can still be nice, no matter what.

I had this so planned out last night. I was like, 'Fuck, bro, how do I put this together?'

But― Even in the back of your mind, if you still want to try and actual, like, still keep connecting

and having a vibe together, it would be mean.

And then at the end of the show, if you're having any doubts, you know the nice guys are.

- Yeah.

- The label of being a Fboy, it's not a deal breaker, but you have to do digging

as to why they came on here as a Fboy. Is there something in their past that they've done,

or is there something they're hiding? And I think it's really important to find that out,

and if it's changeable.

What do you think is the reason you're an Fboy, over a nice guy?

When I was, yeah, 19, I was pretty bad. I'm not going to lie. I actually was.

I went through four girls in a year, but I don't know if that's bad for you.

Like, if that's a big number for you.

So game plan today, coming in with Kiera, pretty much, tell her partly the truth, but not the truth.

I'm not going to lie, I had another one. I pretty much played two girls at the same time,

and then I ended up picking one of them and then ghosting the other one, which is, yeah, Fboytype shit.

- And, like, is that, like, the worst thing you've done? Like...

- Hurting someone like that, initially, yeah, I reckon that's the most worst thing I've done,

to be honest.

- Anything else?

- (SIGHS)

It's a tattoo, eh.

It's nothing bad. Like, all the boys had a tattoo gun out, eh.

And we were just ripping the piss.

- READS: S-M-D. What's that?

- Suck my dick.

(SNORTS)

It's just banter, oi. Honestly.

I done the M, as well. - I can't even get mad at you over that.

I just feel really sorry for you, to be honest. - Oh, shot.

(BOTH LAUGH)

- We can get past the tattoo.

If the tattoo is the most of his worries right now, I think he's in the clear.

What a idiot, though. (LAUGHS)

LAUGHS: What the fuck.

It is going to be purely who I think I've got the best connection with,

because, like, obviously, us girls, we're all wanting to leave with someone that we're into andsure of.

- I hope it doesn't change anything on my opinion, how you look at me, though.

- The labels don't come out of nowhere and like, now I know where it's come from―

- Yeah. - like, I could move past that if, you know, that's all you had to say,

then, yeah. - Yeah.

I never thought that I'd actual be able to find someone.

And then, especially, you being a tradie and actual drinking beer, having a bit of banter,

I can― Yeah, I wasn't expecting it. I'm not fake at all.

Like, if you wanna ask the other boys, I'd appreciated if you actually did.

- One thing with Taite is, I feel when he says something, he does mean it.

I like giving second chances and I feel like he deserves that.

So... we'll see.

- Appreciate it, eh. - You're all right.

- Nah, thank you for that date, though. That was awesome.

I can read girls like a book. So, I reckon I should be all right. Hopefully.

I shouldn't have said that.

- Hi. - How are we? - Good. How are you?

- Yeah, not bad. - Not bad.

I guess, like, knowing Sam's an Fboy, it does hit close to home.

I've dated so many Fboys. You know, I've been hurt so many times. Like, you'd think I'd learnt my lesson.

But I clearly haven't learnt my lesson.

- I think, obviously, I've got a little bit of explaining to do.

- Yeah, well, I want to talk first― - Yeah, go on.

- Um, and don't interrupt me while I talk.

Obviously, I'm pissed off about the whole Fboy thing. - Mm-hm.

- Obviously, I've got trust issues― - Mm-hm. - from previous things.

What? Don't― - I said, 'Mm-hm.'

- Mm. How am I supposed to know that you mean anything you've said to me?

And like, if I do take you to the end, and you do pick the money, like, we'd be done.

I expected you to be an Fboy. I've told you this.

I was kind of hoping you wouldn't be.

He has to convince me that he is here for the right reasons.

You know, he applied to be an Fboy. Like, why? You know?

And if he actually wants this to work and he is genuine about us,

he's going to have to put in the effort to do so.

Did you really just come here for money then, like..?

- I'm gay, so. - Do you see yourself as an Fboy?

- All right. So, is that you done?

Can I talk now?

- Oh, my God. You don't have to be rude about it. Like...

- I'm not feeling very confident about it. Like, honestly, it could go either way.

It just― I think it just comes down to whether she wants to trust me or not.

Yeah.

(TRIBAL DRUMS)

- Kia ora, team captains. What are your names?

- We are the Shit Stirrers, because of Johnny Boy here.

- Wahey. (ALL GRUNT)

- And our name is the Backdoor Boys. Rather not explain the name.

- Wahey. (LAUGHTER)

Now, being Fboys, you obviously know all there is to know about women.

So today we're going to test that. First category ― sports.

What is the name of the New Zealand Women's rugby team?

- Shit Stirrers. Black Ferns.

(DING!)

- You're on the board. (ALL CHEER) - Come on.

- Come on, boy. Multi-choice.

Where is the clitoris?

Is it a) in the vulva, b) in the anus,

c) it doesn't exist. You've never found it. You're an Fboy.

- Shit Stirrers. It doesn't exist.

(BEEP!)

- Fboy.

- Fuck.

- Statistics. What percentage of protection do condoms provide?

- Shit Stirrers. 99%.

(BEEP!)

- Do you even know what condoms are, bro? (LAUGHTER)

- What is the most common STI in New Zealand?

- Ooh, Backdoor Boys. Chlamydia.

(DING!)

- You'd know.

- Correct.

For a bonus point, spell chlamydia.

- C-H-L-A-M-Y-D-I-A.

- Yes!

- It's 'cause you're from the chlamydia capital, mate.

- Dalton, where are you from? - Hamilton. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

(LAUGHTER)

Makes sense. Yeah.

OK. And, final question.

True or false? Women are always right.

- Backdoor Boys. The women are always right.

(DING!)

- Boom!

Backdoor Boys, they're taking it out.

(DANCE MUSIC)

- (CHEERS)

(GROOVY POP MUSIC)

- Wow. - I, like, literally couldn't think of anyone else

that I'd want to be with, cooking pasta.

- Oh, you're so cute. - (GIGGLES) - OK.

Finding out Greg's a nice guy helps me trust him more.

Gosh, I felt a little housewife. Here we go.

- I feel like a house husband. - Oh, love that.

- But I'm so here for it.

- I could definitely see, like, a future with us.

Like, Greg would make such an amazing boyfriend.

- Look at that view. - Mm.

Unreal. - I was talking about this view.

(CHUCKLES) - What, this one? This one right here?

- You've already got some flour on your nose. - Do I?

- Sorry, I don't want to, like, wipe your makeup off.

- (GIGGLES) That's OK. - Yum. Thank you.

(BOTH GIGGLE)

- Mwah. - Sorry, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

- (LAUGHS)

- Right now, I definitely think I'm number one in Coco's eyes, because... those lips don't lie.

- I'm not used to dating, obviously, nice guys like you.

I've never been treated as nicely as you treat me. Like, genuinely. Like, you do.

- Really? - Yeah. It's not just about big things. It's, like, little things.

You're always doing such a lovely things for me without it even it being, like, something forced.

- I like looking after someone, you know? Like, it makes me happy to see you happy. So... Oh, sorry.

- (GIGGLES)

I was so wrapped up in the conversation with Greg and getting to know him

and trying to make sense of him a little bit, that I kind of forgot about the cooking side.

- I don't doubt your cooking, Coco, but I think maybe we should order some takeaway.

He's cute. I like what we've created. I like him a lot.

- Oh, no. Your friend in Italy is gonna be so disappointed, isn't he?

- Nah, nah. We'll have to practice. - Practice. Practice makes perfect. - Yeah.

Thank you for the drinks, as well. This is really good.

Did you make it? - No, I didn't.

- Oh, you should've just― - A little― A little birdie― A little birdie made it for me.

- You should have just gone with it.

(MWAH!)

Or, you could do that.

- (GIGGLES)

- I genuinely think the connection that I have with Coco is real.

I don't think there's any way she can stare into my eyes and kiss my lips like she does

and be lying about it.

(SWEET POP MUSIC)

- All right. So, is that you done?

Can I talk now?

- Oh, my God. You don't have to be rude about it. Yeah, go for it.

- So, I'll be honest. I came into this like, obviously, thinking, you know, get an experience out of it.

Maybe money.

And that was it. Like, I thought the chances of meeting someone that I'd actually get along with,and stuff―

Like, three girls, 20 guys, I just thought that wouldn't be possible. - Mm.

- And then, I meet you. - Mm.

- I don't even give a fuck about the money anymore, like... - Right.

- Honestly, like, if you want me to sign a bit of paper to say that, if you take me to the end,

I'll give you the whole 50, then, fuck, I'll sign the bit of paper. I don't care.

- Don't pull that card again. - No, I would. I would.

- Like, I can't walk around all stroppy forever because he came here as an Fboy.

I just have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

It's scary. It's like I'm putting my heart and feelings on the line.

I just got to hope that he, you know, doesn't screw me over.

OK. I think I'm happy with your answers.

- All right. Well, I'm glad that's out of the way.

- Give me a hug. Move this out of the way.

- Come here.

Sorry. - You're forgived.

- (SIGHS)

Just feel like a huge weight's come off my shoulders.

Nah, I'm stoked. Yeah, so...

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

- OK. - It's gonna get real messy, eh.

- Let's just get in.

Well, I feel like we should do, like, Fboy Island theme.

- You reckon? - Yeah.

- (LAUGHS)

- Fuck's sake.

I love doing, like, messy dates with him.

- Oh, no fucking way.

She painted Fboy on me about four times.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

- Good to get my anger out. Oop, sorry.

- I know. I can see that. You're having a great time.

- If I hit him off because he's an Fboy, I would never know what this could turn into.

And I think that's not fair on me, and that's not fair on Sam.

It could go amazing, or it might go to shit, but you never know unless you give it a go.

- It actually looks kind of cute. - Is it a love heart? - (LAUGHS)

(INTENSE DANCE MUSIC)

(SOFT DANCE MUSIC)

(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

- Hey, Taynen. - Yeah?

- Do you wanna braid my hair? - Fuck yeah.

Is this why you guys kept me in? I'm so thankful.

- Absolutely.

So, how are you do― (SCREAMS)

- Oh, OK. That was decent.

- (GROANS)

- I'm happy to stay another day in the villa.

I mean, from the start, yeah, I did want to build a relationship connection,

but throughout this journey, I found a way better connection than a relationship,

and that is a long-term friendship.

Oh, no. - Knotty hair― Oh, boys.

- Not as pleased with where my tan should be.

- We guessed every single Fboy. - We did. We guessed them all.

- We guessed every single Fboy.

- How are you feeling? - I'm doing well. Yeah, thank you.

Um. Yeah. Lovely. Yeah.

Having a great time. Chillin' with the boys.

- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah.

- Herbie's energy today, I'm feeling it's a little bit off.

I just wanted to get to know you a little bit more.

I mean, I know I didn't take you out on the one-on-one, but that's― Yeah. - Yeah.

I would have loved to head out with you and get to know you a bit better, but, like,

I don't really know much about you, except, you're a tradie.

I've got to say, I'm not really too optimistic about my chances of staying in.

Kiera has to send one of either Will, Taite, or me home.

I know she has a strong connection with Will, and she had just taken Taite on a date.

- I mean, like, who knows where― where it will be? - Yeah. Yeah.

- Yeah. - Fair enough. I― - Shall we head back?

- Yeah. Sure thing. Yeah.

I feel like there's potential between us, but I'm a bit worried that I have just come in too late

to, kind of, form a connection.

- I'm just going to get a drink real quick. - Yeah, sure thing.

Hopefully, get a bit more time to talk to Kiera, sooner rather than later.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

- Just not feeling it today, eh.

- Just go and have a talk to her.

- Just trying to wait for the right moment, eh. - Yep.

- Everyone's all happy and laughing, running around.

I'm still pretty, like, upset from the day before.

And I'm just― sort of, just wondering what's going through Coco's head.

- Zac's just, like, stewing. Should I go make him come and talk to you?

- I don't care what he does. It has to be on fuckin' him.

- Hard, mate. Like, I know more than anyone. Like, shit, even in the start, with Kita,

like, with all that shit, bro. It's the worst feeling in the world.

- Doubt? - Yeah. - Yeah.

- You guys had a good date today? Tell me all about it. - Yeah, bro. The date was fantastic.

I'm confident where we are, because I've had my time with her.

I don't know if the fact that Zac's an Fboy means that he's off the cards.

- Realistically, you've been making out with her the past few days,

and Zac's been in a pissy mood.

- (CHUCKLES WRYLY) Yeah.

- I'm just getting your thoughts around Zac,

and where your head's, kind of, at.

- I've had enough red flags to be like, maybe this isn't going to go anywhere.

Like, if you're not going to put in the effort, then why should I?

Look, Greg's putting in so much fuckin' effort.

And, like, if someone asked me where my head's at right now, I would say 70% Greg and 30% Zac.

(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)

- I don't think you should pull him. I think, if he's not going to pull you, then that―

- That's him. - That's― That's your answer, right? - It's done.

(UPBEAT CHILL MUSIC)

- So... You wanted to pull me for a chat?

- Yes, I did. Take a seat.

- Finally, Zac pulls me for a chat, and I'm like, it's about time, isn't it?

Well, firstly, I want to say congratulations.

You had me believing you for a good whole second.

- You asked me what I was, not what I was cast as.

- Oh, OK, so now we're, like― - Nah, nah, nah. - going on a technicality.

- I didn't lie. I genuine believe I am a nice guy. - Uh-huh.

And everything that I've done and said to you thus far has been real. - K.

Well, I wrote a letter because I didn't want to get lost― - You wrote a letter.

- It's not a fuckin' love letter, I'll tell you that. It's a hate letter.

I'm pissed. - A hate letter.

- Don't talk. Just listen, OK, because I don't want to miss any points. That's why I wrote it, OK?

- Oh. I'm fucked here.

Fuck. She's mad mad.

- I'm not mad that you're labelled an Fboy.

I don't care about that, because I knew that you were an Fboy. I knew that.

Everyone still comes up to me and still warns me about you, to stay away from you.

And so it feels a bit like an act to me. I want more. Like, I'm not asking for the stars and the moon.

You don't show me gestures. These other guys do.

And you try to fly by bare minimum and wonder why I ask you to repeat things―

(OVERLAPPING VOICE)

...like this on the outside, but I genuinely want to find someone that I can date, and treat me

with the love and respect that I deserve.

...to realise that, in here, that I deserve more than that.

Like, I deserve more than bare minimum.

- I don't really know where to look.

I'm just like, 'Fuck, another page.'

- They never show you their feelings or even love.

And clearly, like I thought our connection was more than physical,

but clearly, it's not the case.

# Check it out. #

(UPBEAT GROOVY MUSIC)

- Has that come undone? Can you tie it for me?

- I did the gentleman thing.

Re-did her bikini top without it coming off, despite temptation.

She's double-knotted it, that's why.

That better? - Is it shorter? Yep, all good. - Sick.

- How are you guys feeling after last night?

- Oh, pretty stoked. - Yeah?

- Oh, yeah. We had our lovely, awkward interaction. Fuck, it was pretty crack up.

- Oh, right.

- I was gonna say, what else?

Just surprised you a bit. - Yeah, it was a surprise, Tom. I'm not gonna lie.

- Keep you on your toes. - Yeah, I wasn't expecting it. No, but, I feel like we're a slow burn.

- Talked about it, got over it.

It doesn't seem like I'm too much in the dog box, but... We'll rev up and we'll try again later.

- Why should I pick you? What is so fucking special?

- I didn't really know where to start.

It was so much to take in and try to think of a reply to.

I'm bored of just having meaningless sex, and I actually care about you. It's why―

- Yeah, if you care about me, you have to show me that.

This is my final warning to Zac.

He needs to put his A-game in.

Otherwise, he's just going to be left behind.

- You make me fuckin' nervous and on edge.

But you also make you feel good and nice at the same time.

Like I said yesterday, I haven't had the easiest run in this place.

I went on a bit of an excursion today,

and I battled chickens, dogs and pigs― - Chickens, dogs and pigs.

- and picked out a few flowers that best describe you. (CHUCKLES)

- Best describe me. - Yeah.

- The flowers is definitely a good start.

So here's to hoping that I see more gestures like that.

- I got the orange, for your fiery side.

I've got a bit of white in there, for your honesty and genuinuity ― if that's a word.

- Making up words, like me.

- Some dark purple leaves, for your scary side. - (LAUGHS) My scary side.

- And a bit of pink, for your sweet side.

- So you think I have a sweet side? - Of course I do. I've seen it.

I think she was surprised by it and that she really liked it.

And last but not least, a little rock hard shell, for stubbornness.

- (GIGGLES)

- I dunno what the fuck this girl's done to me.

(LAUGHS)

Well, I'm glad we got to the bottom of that.

Are we all good? - Mm-hm.

- OK.

- (GIGGLES)

Just knocking teeth. - ―my teeth.

I'm going to be OK.

Scared me for a bit.

# Fortune favours the brave. #

- Cheers to that. (LAUGHS)

Hello, darling. - Hello, beautiful. - Did you want to have a chat?

- I would love to have a chat.

- Oh, thank God she came to me because that is like a lot of affirmation that she is interested

in talking to me.

- Fuck, bro. I need to talk to Kiera before it's over.

I knew the Fboy title was going to bring me down a lot.

I reckon I'm 100% trustworthy, but it's going to be hard to make her believe that.

- I guess this spot is perfect. - Yeah, I know.

- Should ask her. - Who? - Gimme some chat.

- Just say, 'Look I had really good time today. You know, where do you see us?

'Like, where does that leave us now?'

- That's one of the questions I wanted to ask you, was, was that a shock to you?

So, clearly, it did. You've already answered that for me. Um―

- No. I don't― I don't want you to think that, like, you were giving Fboy vibes.

Maybe it was like, with looks as well, because I'm like, I don't know.

- Oh, I'm not too hard on your eyes, then? - Yeah.

- Oh, shucks. Stop, you. - I dunno.

- ―interrupt? - Do it.

- Nah, bro. I can't.

- (LAUGHS)

- Do it, bro. You haven't got much time, G.

Just fuckin' do it.

- Oh, Taite is super nosy on Will and Kiera, too.

What have I become? What has this fuckin' show made me?

- What do you think your biggest achievement is, so far in life?

I definitely feel like Kiera's number one.

And it gives me so much pleasure.

- That's a hard one. My biggest achievement in life...

Like, I'm 22. Like, I haven't― Like, I've kind of been travelling.

Yeah. I don't know.

- Oi. You don't do this, you'll stand up there tonight, and you'll fuckin' regret it.

- Yep. - Go and do it. Go and do it.

- He's off to make some moves.

- Will, sorry, mate. I don't care what you were saying. I'm cutting your lunch today, bud.

- You are a strong and powerful woman. So whatever decision you make tonight,

I think it's going to be the right one. - Cheers to that.

- Cheers to that.

So, we're just having a lot of fun, a lot of giggle bonding again.

And I really― That's the way I sort of get along with people as well, is through laughing.

- SING-SONG: Hi. - Hey, Will― - How're you doing?

- Would it be all right to steal Kiera for a bit, please?

- Fuck no. - (LAUGHS)

- (SNORTS)

- I was sitting there and I was like, bro, you've just had a massive chat.

Why are you coming in again?

Are you worried? Are you intimidated that I'm in here now?

Nah, bro. You get in there. You get in there. Come on. - (LAUGHS)

- Thank you. - That's all right. Bye, Kiera. - See you. Thank you.

- Shot, bro.

- You've got really long eyelashes. - My mum used to tell me a girl would kill for them.

- Nah, mine are longer

- How do you think our date went? - That's what I was wanting to ask you.

Yeah, I reckon it went pretty good. And I was only honest, so...

In my opinion, you respected all of that, then told you things I wouldn't normally tell people.

I don't really open up. I'm pretty much a closed book as I am.

- I feel like the answers you gave me― - Yep.

- were, like― they were pretty down to earth and like, you know, I don't feel like you're fakinganything.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Not everyone's angels. Like, everyone― Everyone has fucked up in their past.

If there is anything moving forward with Taite, like, everything's going to be out in the open now,

and if there's stuff he's still hiding, then he's basically done.

I really respect you for coming up and telling me, 'I'm an Fboy.'

Like, I can tell you're being genuine about it.

I don't think you're that much of a good actor. (LAUGHS)

(PIERCING WHINE)

- So, today, I won an Oscar.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

- (LAUGHS)

(LAUGH ECHOES, OVERLAPS)

(POWERFUL MUSIC)

- Whoo.

- Kia orana, ladies.

Kia orana, boys.

- ALL: Kia orana.

Well, ladies, if these boys came to this island with a game plan, it's all out on the table now,isn't it?

- Yeah.

- They've all had to reveal if they came here as a nice guy or an Fboy.

So has that changed things for you, Kita?

- Yeah, it changed things massively.

Puts things into perspective.

But I just have to go with my gut.

- Yeah, I'm the same, now we know who the nice ones are.

p- Coco, you've been having a hard time with this.

- Yeah. - How're you feeling?

- A lot of things have been put into perspective, but it definitely doesn't make anything easier,

for sure.

- Zac, do you think you're still in the running to be in the grand final?

- I'd like to hope so, but you never know in this place.

- All right. Kita, bottom two.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- Taynen.

Tom.

- Kiera, how about you?

- This decision, like, doesn't come easy, but the first boy I'm putting up is...

Taite,

and Herbie.

- Coco.

- Fuck sakes. Here we go.

- Ross.

and...

Zac.

- You guys know what to do. Step forward if you heard your name.

You ladies saved Taynen last time. He's up here again.

Why?

- I just want to say you look really nice tonight. Love the outfit. - Thank you.

- Obviously, it sucks that you haven't made a connection.

But, you know, we've made a lifelong friendship.

- I know it's my fourth elimination, but if you can give me a shot, I would love that.

- Tom, you know, the numbers are getting smaller.

It was really between you and Sam.

And, you know, me and Sam have made a faster connection.

- Nah, yeah, nah. Like, yeah.

I'd like to think that, hopefully, even got a little bit of a connection, you know,

If you wanna keep me up here... Far out. I reckon we'll have a good time.

(GIRLS CHUCKLE)

- Kiera.

- Taite, we had a really good date today, but, like, at the same time, you are a Fboy,

and I think it's going to take me some time to get over that.

- I'm not going to lie. I was a slow burner. We said that today, me and you.

But, honestly, everything I said today was honest to you,

and I hope you believe that. And I know it's hard to believe that.

I hope you give me another chance, honestly.

- Herbie. I feel like I've got connections with guys and I'm just starting to wonder if ours

is going to be strong enough, at this point in the competition.

- Taite here is a great chap, and if you decide to go with him, that's completely fine.

It's been lovely to get to know you, so thank you.

- Some of these boys are just so damn nice, right?

And Coco.

- Ross. Can I ask about the shoes today?

- I can't take my eyes off the vest.

- I can't stop looking at the shoes.

- Thank you. - I don't think it was a compliment.

- So, Ross, we've made a lot of deep romantic connections at this point,

and I'm not sure if you've quite done that, as of yet.

So that's why I popped you up for elimination.

- I mean, I'm absolutely flabbergasted. Coco, I really thought we had something going here.

You know, I thought we had something special, but clearly not. - (LAUGHS)

So, Zac. We keep coming across to the same issues, about trust.

I know we've had a good conversation today, but you are definitely still on my chopping block.

- You've definitely put me in my place a bit. I know what I need to do, going forward,

and I'm going to do it.

- All right, Let's get to this elimination, shall we?

(SUSPENSEFUL BASS MUSIC)

Kita.

- The boy I am eliminating is...

Taynen.

- Kiera.

- If I got eliminated, honestly, I don't think I'll be as gutted as Kiera,

because she hasn't made a connection with anyone.

Only a tiny one with Will.

- Herbie.

- And Coco.

- Ross.

- OK, boys. If you're safe, e noho.

(BOYS WHISPER CONDOLENCES)

- I'll see you in a few weeks.

- I- Nice to meet you, although it was brief, mate.

- There's a lot of man love going on, huh?

- (INDISTINCT)

- Well, boys, we don't have to reveal your status.

We already know who you are.

Taynen, our resident barber.

Sorry to be a buzzkill.

Herbie.

It's a brutal place, this island, isn't it?

Ross, that is some vest.

- Thank you.

- All three of you ― nice guys,

nice try.

(MAJESTIC SOLEMN MUSIC)

(APPLAUSE)

Game time, boys.

Get some rest.

I'll see you soon. Ma te wa.

- Good luck, buddy.

- Is that a threat, buddy? - 100%.

- Aw, bro.

We're going for the same girl, so... good luck, mate.

Nice guy.
