(PERCUSSIVE TRIBAL MUSIC)

- I want you to know that this is a safe space.

Whatever you share with me will be strictly between you, me,

and whatever magazine I decide to sell your story to. OK?

What's brought you to Limbro? - Oh, I was thrown under the bus, to be honest.

- Mm. Interesting. No personal responsibility taken. - (CHUCKLES)

- Why do you identify as an Fboy?

- I'm honestly stumped at that question. I wouldn't know how to answer it.

- It means someone that emotionally manipulates someone into believing

that they're going to lead them into something that potentially will not be there in theend.

- Wow. That was deep.

Would you call yourself a shit-stirrer? - Yes.

- How's that working out for you? - It's really fun.

- Really fun. - I see a bus; I throw someone under it. It's an addiction.

- Any kinky situations?

Me, a blondie and a tub of peanut butter. Unfortunately, it was crunchy and not smooth.

- Crunchy? - Crunchy. - I prefer smooth.

- Restraints, toys ― the usual.

- The usual? - The usual.

- You've been in Limbro for the longest now. How's that going for you?

- Not good. Not good.

- Taking it out on anything? - Coconut over there.

- Coconut?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

That is not coconut cream. - (CLICKS TONGUE)

- So, do you think your time in Limbro has reformed you? - I think I'm getting there.

- I've come to realise that being a gentleman will get you more places.

- I definitely know what I'm looking for now. I'm looking for a relationship,...

- Mm.

- ...someone that's OK with me strippin'. They do not like the pony.

- What's the pony? Show us.

It's just you and me and the team of 5 million.

- # You got it.

# I'm on it; you ride it.

# I'm riding; you riding.

# You got it. #

- You told me to show you. - (LAUGHS)

(BEEP!)

Well, I've made my diagnosis, and you are...

1000% Fboy. Wow.

- (EXHALES DEEPLY)

- Same time next week?

- Yeah, I might need a double session after that.

- # I like them boys.

# I like them boys. #

- Right, boys, top six.

- Epic. (CHUCKLES) - Mate.

- Closer and closer to walking out of here with these beautiful girls.

- I don't feel safe yet. You never know what they can throw at us, eh.

- So exciting. - Home stretch, baby. - I know.

- How are you feeling about Zac and Greg? Obviously, Zac's been in the firing line a bit.

- (BLUBBERS LIPS)

Well, obviously, my head is absolutely scrambled, so I'm trying to go with my gut and myheart,

but my gut and my heart both want different things.

If I have to put it in a chart, right, me and Greg are going like this...

Like a little slow burn, but it's, like, going uphill.

Me and Zac is like... nyur, nyur, nyur, nyur, nyur. (CHUCKLES)

- (CLEARS THROAT) So, did Coco write you a bit of a novel?

- Yeah, bro. It's, like, a four-page letter of shit she's fucked off at me about.

- You found out he's an Fboy, and he kind of was blaming you for your reaction.

You can do whatever you like, but, like, I'm like, Greg's, like― he's just such a sweetheart.

- Greg's the king. Like, honestly, he's so sweet.

- But, yeah, nah, I took it on board, and I got her some flowers that I picked.

- I would be surprised if I've misread the situation and that she likes him more than she likes me.

But you just don't know.

- I don't want you settling for Zac in that he hasn't done anything,

and then he's doing the bare minimum. And that's like, 'Oh my God, he bought me flowers,'

and it's like, OK, cool, but he should have done that from the start.

- Ages ago. - And it's like, I don't want you to over-romanticise that either.

- Is it all just for show? It's terrifying.

- Sam is the typical guy I would go for, and I came here to change my ways.

There's been a few red flags so far. You know, he has screwed up a few times.

- But you can't discount Tom at all. He's so funny. He grows on you. - I know, and I reallylike Tom.

I don't know what to do. Like, I'm so torn.

I know Tom's a nice guy, but what has Tom done for me?

He hasn't done any romantic gestures.

He kind of talks to me when it's kinda convenient for him.

- You're right, actually. - Nothing.

Some days I really vibe with Tom, and other days we're just friends.

Then I'm also like, is Tom settling as well?

Like, is he just picking me cos it's easy for him?

- How are you feeling in terms of Will and Taite?

- I've got two really different guys here.

He one was a good guy, and, like, you know, that's great.

But, like, Taite ― there is something still that interests me about him.

I feel like it would be easier if one was, like, a complete arsehole.

I could just be like, oh, sweet, see ya later. But that's not the case.

- I feel like Taite's coming more out of his shell. He's actually hilarious.

- Yeah, I know. Taite and I is like― it started off, like, almost kind of, like, bro-y, and, like,

it's just breaking that, like― breaking... - Bro-y-ness.

- Yeah, like, seeing if there's more of a romantic connection there,

which I think, from our last date, like, there is. Like, he's being more cheeky.

I do really like that from, like, both of them.

- I think I just need to have a think.

- I think we all need to make a pros and cons list, hey.

- Hello, my sexy ladies. - Hello!

Hello, Auntie Shav.

- Ladies, feels like we're barrelling towards the end, doesn't it?

- I know. So soon.

- For ages, it was like there were a million boys here, and now there's only six.

- And now we're looking at― Like, the last elimination, we were like, there's literally no one.

- Yeah. Only six left.

Or are there?

Today, you've got an option, all right?

You can bring a boy back.

Could be a nice guy; could be an Fboy.

- What are you doing to me?

(SIGHS DRAMATICALLY)

- If there's someone who, you know, left really early on,

and you think you just didn't even really get time to chat to them.

Or if there's someone who you really want some more answers from, you know, who left more recently,

you can bring them back. - Oh my God. - What do you think of that? (LAUGHS)

- I was not expecting that at all. Oh my God.

Oh my God. I'm so excited that we get to bring someone back.

It's gonna cause some shit, I think. And I already know who I wanna pick.

- Might change some things. - Yeah. - Yeah.

- It already took me so much time to whittle it down. You're opening up more options again.

I still love Greg. I still love Zac. Like, literally, my mind isn't on anybody else.

- Well, let's be real, girls. If you do bring someone new back into the mix,

are you gonna give them a shot? Or do you feel very good with your tight two?

- I feel like I've got one that I'm set on, and I'm not sure about the other,

so I think there's definitely an opportunity. - OK.

I like you talking like that, cos I know you've got the big feels for Sam, right?

- Yeah. - But, you know, there's a lot of boys here,

and they all want a shot with you. - Exactly.

- Give them a shot, eh. - Yeah, definitely will, yeah, definitely.

- So, you're gonna get time to just figure out if it's, like,

a friendship feel or a future boyfriend feel, whatever that might be.

And then it's elimination.

Let's do the numbers. You've got three nice guys

and three Fboys in your top two.

One each, right? - Yeah.

- But that could change at elimination tonight.

- I feel like in the past I have usually gone for the first guy that shows me attention,

and I kinda stick with that. So, like, us girls have the power.

I'm like, I don't need to― It's not a contract, you know? (LAUGHS)

- Your top two guys do not know this is gonna happen today, OK?

- Oh, true. - So they're gonna be freaky-deakying it out.

- Love that.

- Ladies, put it in the middle. - Put it in.

(ALL CHEER)

- And bye. - Bye.

- Bye, Shav. - Byee!

Oh my God.

- I definitely think the boys that we're bringing back are gonna spice things up.

You know, there's no one else out of the boys that I would wanna bring back.

- When he had us all fooled that he was a nice guy, but, really, he's out here being an Fboy―

that caught my attention.

- Coco sent him off very, very early on.

There was always a part of me that was like, maybe if we had more time.

- I just feel like I didn't give him a fair shot.

And I just wanna be able to see, like, if we can build something.

- (GASPS) Hello, boys.

- Hey, ladies. - Hey, girls. - Hello.

- Feeling quite nervous this morning coming into this opportunity to get a second change.

- You miss us? - Yeah! - (LAUGHS)

- You know, coming on this late in the game, I need to make an impression.

- Where you been? - Good to see new faces. - Familiar, eh?

- Come have a seat.

- I was stoked, eh, but really, really surprised.

- Oh my God. So, where have you guys been?

- Limbro. - Limbro! - The Grotto for me.

- Oh, the nice place for you.

- We got one bed. (LAUGHTER)

- The nice guys get this nice spread every day; we just have to wait for the coconuts to fall from the tree.

- Oh no. (LAUGHTER)

- So, I brought Denny back.

I thought Denny was a bit vanilla, but, clearly, Denny's not that vanilla.

Kinda wanna see what he's about.

When I found out that Denny was a Fboy, I was like, 'Is he?!'

I was like, you know what ― that's got me intrigued.

- Well, I brought Cooper back cos I feel like me and Cooper probably didn't have enough time.

And, you know, you put quite a bit of effort in to me, so I just wanted to give you a secondchance.

- Thank you.

- I feel like after our group date, he, like, made a really good impression on me.

There potentially could be a connection.

- So, I brought you back just because I feel like we had a good chat at our first pool party.

And then I think, yeah, just the conversation seemed to flow,

and I wanted to get to know you a little bit more as well.

I think, Coco, did you vote him off? (LAUGHS)

- Don't fucking put me on the spot. - I'm not sure, but, yeah, anyway...

- It's OK. I remember. Yes, you did. (LAUGHTER)

- I feel like I've forgotten how good-looking he is.

- Yeah, so the final two ― is there a chance for any of us to creep into there?

- Oh, absolutely.

- Well, we heard something about a five-page...

- A hate letter. - ...speech, yeah.

- It was a four-page hate letter. - A book. - It was a book.

I'm fiery. I'm not gonna take shit from nobody.

- Yeah, I think I have a chance because of that four-page hate letter for Zac.

That's a bit rough. Poor bastard.

- Denny, are you ready to stir up some shit? - I'm ready to stir up some shit.

- We all love a toxic guy.

Shall we go on our little one-on-one dates?

- About time. - Yeah. Let's go.

I can't believe you fooled us. - Yeah.

- He had us all fooled that he's a nice guy, so of course I'm gonna bring Denny back.

Why are you an Fboy? - I'm just an Fboy cos I didn't think I was ready to settle down.

But I just don't need to prove myself to others, you know?

- You're not gonna prove yourself to me?

- Well, that sounds like I do need to prove myself to you. - Yeah, absolutely.

- I'd love to get to know her more. She seems very fiery, which is good. Yeah, I like that.

- How would you feel about someone else wearing the pants? - Do you like to wear the pants?

- If you haven't figured that out about me already, Denny, maybe we're not so compatible.

- What does wearing the pants look like to you?

- The person that likes to take charge and take control.

- Well, it sounds like we're both gonna just do that. - Are we gonna butt heads?

- We'll have one leg in each of the pants.

- I think men forget that out in the real world as well, women do control a lot of things,

but that just goes amiss.

- I think I learnt that quite early on, cos I had lots of woman bosses ―

like, first― my first jobs, and that were great.

And I was useless. - Would you say that you respect women?

- Yeah, I 100% respect women. - Yeah? - Yeah.

- Why would I wanna bring back an Fboy? I know he's an Fboy.

But, like, never say never. You can't say just because he's a bad boy,

it doesn't mean he doesn't have, like, a 20% nice side. Like, you just never know.

- Definitely happy you brought me back.

- I feel like after our date ― like, our group date ― you definitely impressed me,

and I said that, actually, at the elimination, so it sucked, like, having to put you up.

But I just wanted, like, another chance with you, I guess.

- Definitely. We never got enough time, cos it takes me a little bit to fully open up.

- Mm, open up. You have to sell yourself to me, Cooper. - Selling myself?

- Obviously, I was like, your first pick, I guess. Did you see something between us?

- I seen that was potential, you know? Obviously, we didn't have much time.

Never actually had a one-on-one. - Mm.

- It's not as much as we could have got.

- Do you think you've seen enough of me to be like, 'I wanna change?'

- I know she still has doubts cos I'm an Fboy. Maybe there's a small little chance.

I was feeling like that before I came on here.

But seeing you, I feel like we've got something that could move forward,

and I'd love to get that extra time and see if something can grow from there.

- Yeah, I feel like out of the girls as well, I'm probably one of the most open,

so definitely, like, utilise that. Yeah, definitely.

- To be honest, like, I feel like you're someone that I had met before in a way,

and you just made me feel comfortable, whereas some of the other boys,

like, it was a bit harder to chat with.

- Sitting down with Kiera and chatting with her, it just feels instantly natural.

- I just remember we were just sitting on the chairs having a good chat, and it felt easy.

- To hear that I did make that impression with her and I was someone on the back of her mind

was definitely really good to hear.

- I feel like you did go to soon. - Yeah, I mean, with the other two girls,

I definitely feel like I don't see them really competing with you. - Yeah. Aw, thank you!

He's not usually my, like, typical type, but I think he's really, really attractive.

(SULTRY MUSIC)

- ECHOES: So, what do you like to do in your weekends or spare time?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- What was the question again? (BOTH LAUGH)

Sorry, I was just zoning out.

I'm really confused. I'm like― Sorry, in my head, I'm just like, I don't know what I'm gonnado.

Sorry. - That's all right. What do you like to do in your weekends or spare time?

- Oh, no, I was actually looking at your eyes. I'm not― - Oh, OK.

- I wasn't zoning out, I promise. - (LAUGHS)

- If you can throw them under the bus and say, 'Hey, I'm Denny. I'm gonna take one of their spots.'

This is a great opportunity to take that chance and see whether I have been closing myself off

to just Zac and Greg and whether I closed myself off too early.

- Well, like, I think you wrote the four-page hate letter for a reason.

It doesn't seem to be going too smoothly in here, does it? - No.

- A few bust-ups already.

- How would you handle a four-page hate letter?

- Yeah, I can handle anything, Coco. - Can you? - Yeah.

- I dunno. - I take it as it comes, you know. Like, bang, pfft, shot, hit, done.

Move on.

I've heard of them doing a bit of kissing and stuff,

so it's gonna be hard to beat at one of their connections.

But you never know with Coco.

Well, so, you're worried about Zac being too much an Fboy.

You're worried about Greg being too much of a nice guy.

Here I am fooling you. You think I'm a nice guy, but I'm actually an Fboy.

- Well, you're not fooling me; I know what you are now. - Well, yeah.

Does that sound like the happy medium?

- Somewhere in between, hey. - I reckon it sounds like it.

- So you're here to replace both. - Yeah, you could just― Can we do a double elimination?

- (GASPS) - I can skip it, all go. (CHUCKLES)

- Taite and Will at the moment. - Yeah.

- How are you feeling about them? - I mean, they're two very different guys.

Taite and I almost had that― you know, we're the two tradies.

I'm like, I feel like there's gonna be common ground to talk about,

and, like, I can see the cheeky side of him coming out, which is nice.

And then there's like, Will, on the other hand, who seems, like, very in touch with his feelings

and quite a deep thinker as well. So they're both guys that I usually haven't gone for in the past.

- It almost seems like you need like someone in the middle. - Is that you?

- I don't really know, but someone does come to mind. Um... Name's escaping me at the moment (!)

Yeah, there might be someone that's kind of like that for you. - Yeah.

He just seems really sweet and really cute,

and I get a vibe that him and Dad would get along really well.

- Do you find it surprising that I have, like, Sam and Tom? Like, they're quite different.

- Seems pretty like a pretty narrow gap, right, so...

- Yeah? Yeah, there's always a little bit of room.

- Hopefully there's a little bit of room for me. - Yeah, definitely.

I like how he looks. (LAUGHS) He's an attractive boy, and I like that he's quite shy as well.

Like he is quite nervous around me, and I guess that kind of shows that a guy does like you ―

you know, when they're not too cocky and confident.

I don't wanna always go for... - ...the same. - ...the same person.

Like, you are probably more my type than what Sam is.

I do really like Tom, but I'm still trying to see, like, is it more of a friendship thing?

What are you looking for? - Same sort of things.

Someone that I can get along with, do stuff, go on adventures.

- I'm quite like that, yeah. - Yeah. And then, obviously, if your mates get along with my mates too.

- He made it very clear the first time that he was super into me and he wanted to get to know me.

So I just wanted to see if he can bring the energy back and, like, amp it up another notch.

Thank you for our chat. I feel like you've given me lots to think about now,

and I appreciate, you know, getting deeper and getting to know each other.

- Was having some good chats, getting some good questions.

- We definitely just need to talk more, and we'll just kind of see what happens.

- 100%, yeah. - Yeah. OK. Cool.

- What have you liked most about me on our one-on-one today?

- You don't seem as serious as when we first talked.

- You think I'm serious? - No, as when we first talked.

So, you've been, like― it's been really good to see the proper side of you.

- Yeah. Get to know me more; you'll think I'm hilarious.

I'll be literally having you wet your pants.

- Yeah, I'll be snorting along with you, eh.

- Gonna have to get you some adult nappies; I'm telling you now.

The date with Denny's going really well. We're having a good old conversation;

we're chatting; the vibes are flowing. But I'm just looking at Denny, and I'm just like,

'Oh man. Damn. I wish either Zac or Greg were here.'

- One of my mates, he's pooed himself a few times while drinking,

so we bought some adult nappies for him so he didn't do it again.

- WHISPERS: God forbid. - Yeah.

- What's the plan for the pool party? Uh, make Zac and Greg sweat.

I want them to think that I'm gonna sub out one of those two, Greg and Zac, for Denny.

I want them to put in a maximum effort for sure.

- You don't regret your decision at all? - No, no.

I'm like, 'I should've brought Herbie back.' Nah! (BOTH LAUGH)

There's gonna be a lot of competition, because it's been such a short amount of time,

and already I'm feeling, like, this sort of connection with Ro.

- Walking away from that, I definitely feel a lot more confident about my chances with her.

- # Nothing like a baddie with a booty.

# Big booty Judy.

# Girl, you is a cutie.

# Big booty Judy.

# Girl, you is a cutie.

# You know I like it. #

- Shall we hack into these boys, eh? I'm grabbing one of these ones, eh? (ALL CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)

Shall we have a little cheers, boys, eh?

- Shot, lads. - Final six. - Yeah, baby.

- So, where do you think the girls are? What do you think is going on today?

I spent all day with you boys; I don't wanna spend a moment longer. Where are the wahine?

Time goes by.

Where the fuck are the girls?

- The girls probably aren't even coming, mate; it's probably just us.

- I don't like this. This is too good. Something's gonna happen.

- Everyone's a bit like, what surprise is gonna happen now? Something is up.

The air is― You could cut it with a knife.

- There's no way it's, like, another elimination.

- I don't know, bro. Honestly couldn't tell you, eh.

- The suspense is killing me.

All of a sudden, look over...

- Oh.

Bang! Heart drops.

Oh!

- Ahh.

- What? - Oh, good God.

- What the fuck is going on here?

They brought three guys back. This isn't fair. Like, now we have another guy to compete with.

- Bro!

- See Kiera's with Ro. I'm just like, oh, sweet as, man, it's all good.

Just gotta take everything easy; not gonna take anything to heart.

- Bit of a throwback Thursday, hey.

- GREG: I was pretty surprised to see Coco walk in with Denny,

cos I didn't think they had had much of a connection at all.

- So, guys, obviously there's some new old faces back. (LAUGHS)

We got to choose who we wanted to bring back.

- If Kiera's come in here and she's picked Ro out of all those boys that have been eliminated,

then I should be worried, cos she's picked him.

- Guess you guys got to get your graft on. Hope you guys aren't sweating too much in your boots.

- I have no clue why she chose Denny.

- I'm pretty confident that I'm her number one. So, if anything, it'd be Zac and Denny fighting it out.

- We don't get a day off, do we?

- We've spent some one-on-one time with the boys we picked.

So they do have a little advantage.

- Oh, shit. I've actually― I've got some proper competition now.

Cooper's a charming, good-looking bloke. He could come in, steal Kita from meandSam.

- WILL: So, what made you pick Ro to come back?

- I mean, I did say if there was someone I could bring back, it would be him.

- Oh, well, now you got him back. Shit.

The fact that Coco is the one that sent Ro home initially means that, you know, it wasn't Kiera's choice;

she didn't have input.

That's ringing round in my mind that she never wanted him to go in the first place.

How was this morning, catching up? - Yeah, it was really good.

- Oh, really? - Yeah, no, it was really nice.

Obviously, there's been, like, lost time along the way.

But I feel like he held himself really well compared to, like―

You know, we haven't had much time together, but, yeah.

- Of course. I mean, he's been gone for so long as well. - Yeah.

- I didn't know if I was gonna see him again.

- I'm glad that you guys wanna be here. (CHUCKLES)

- Fuckin' oath. I don't wanna go home. - No, it's too much fun, right?

- Don't want this dickhead to take my spot.

- You're gonna have to put some work in, Tom.

- I don't know. You must see something with me. - Oh, 100%.

I think you're a good guy. - 100% the locks, I reckon. - Ooh yeah.

- It's a nice view here, eh. - Yeah, it's so nice. I haven't even, like, really looked.

- To the front and to my right. - (CHUCKLES)

Even though Cooper's being a little bit icky with his compliments,

I like the effort. You know, I like that he's fighting for it, as he should.

- You guys looking forward to, like, going properly home?

- No, I'm gonna miss everyone.

- Be looking forward to it if I go home with her.

- (CHUCKLES) Oh my God, Cooper. You're lame.

- Shit. I need to pick my game up. Bro, you came here to play, man. - Oh my God. I can't even deal.

Cooper is laying it on thick. He is flirting up a storm.

- Still a little tiny sliver of hope. Maybe I can pull something out of the bag.

- I'm enjoying it. I, like, don't wanna leave.

- Wouldn't you want to meet my parents?

LAUGHS: I'm just joking.

Moving too fast. - She's gotta meet mine first, all right?

- Cooper's definitely making me question my connections with Tom.

I think Cooper's putting in a lot more effort than maybe what Tom is.

- Is it just gonna be like this the whole time ― just trying to one-up each other?

- I love it. Keep going. (ALL LAUGH)

- Oh, it's nice to be here. - How are you feeling being back? - It's great. I'm just so excited.

- They were all shocked. They were like, 'Oh no.' (LAUGHS)

- Yeah, I was, like, trying to peek through, trying to see their little reactions.

Some of them looked a little bit threatened, which I'm not too mad about.

- It's just nice getting to know you and spend some more time, cos I feel like at the beginning,

we really didn't get a chance. - No, not at all.

So, how do you think Will and Taite are feeling about it?

- I haven't spoken to Taite. He's kind of just, like, looking from afar. I dunno.

But I had a chat with Will. He's like, 'Oh, is, like, Ro someone

'that's been on the back of your mind, like, since he left?'

And I was like, 'I mean, like, yeah, I'd say so,' and he was like―

he just, like, looked down. I think he was stressing a little bit.

- Yeah, felt a little threatened by it maybe. - I think so.

- Having a second chance to potentially leave him with Kiera is amazing,

especially since I don't even consider my first chance a real chance.

So I need to come in, and I really need to make my mark.

In the real world, I probably would be a lot more chill, reserved

and take my time with developing connection, but that's just not an option here.

- Will's like, 'Oh, like, picked a nice guy,' you know?

And I'm like, 'It's not even about the labels,' if you know what I'm saying.

- You know, as much as the labels don't really matter, they obviously do play a big factor.

It's the difference between you walking away with 25 grand or with nothing.

- Like, if we feel like we've got a connection with someone, we're kind of willing to take that risk.

Taite is a risk. He could leave with the money and, like, no connection as well,

So, like, that's what I am trying to figure out.

- I guess just to put your best interests first on one of our, like, initial discussions

when we're talking about what we're coming on here for.

He did make it quite clear at the start that he was, you know, trying to get the whole prize pool,

which is probably something that you should know just upfront, trying to be honest.

I was really conflicted about mentioning that,

because on one hand, I did want to come back in the game and make an impression

based on my own merit and not have to, you know, almost attack someone else to do that.

But also, I think it's best for her to know all of the information.

- Ro's come in, and he's stirred some shit up. And I really need to talk to Taite.

- (LAUGHS)

- # Like the way that I slide when I come through.

(LAUGHTER)

- Coco, do you think Will should be scared?

- Will should be scared? - Of Ro.

- Of Ro?

Hi. - How are you? - Good.

- Can we go for a chat? - Yeah, sure.

Sorry.

Where do you wanna go? - She's pulled you boys aside for a chat.

- I reckon she wants you to just― I reckon you go step on her toes.

- Just fuckin' grow some fuckin' balls and go pull her for a chat.

- How did you sleep last night?

- How'd I sleep last night? - Yeah.

- Oh my God. That's, like, the first question you wanna ask me?

Are you sweatin' at all that I picked Denny to come back? Or are you just not threatened at all?

- I don't know. From what Denny said at the start when he got eliminated,

he was just like, 'Oh, I'm an Fboy. I don't really care whether I go home or not.'

So he just seems like someone who doesn't really wanna be here,

so I'm not too threatened by someone who's thinking like that. You know?

- I brought Denny back, maybe hoping for a little bit of a reaction.

Like, I pulled Denny for our one-on-one chat this morning,

and, like, I guess his head's changed. I guess he's a new reformed Fboy.

- He's changed in 10 days?

- Have a little bit of jealousy. Like, that's what we need. We need a little bit of spice in here.

- Where's the head at? Cos, obviously, we had a nice chat yesterday.

Well, half of it was nice. - Yeah.

- We had a nice kiss. - Yeah.

- CHUCKLES: And then you put me up for elimination.

- I would say, essentially, my head still stands where I stand.

Like, obviously, you need to put in a lot more work, and, yeah, I'm just waiting to see that.

- I got a nice little thing I made last night. - Oh no.

- I wanna wait for, like, a more special time.

- Well, don't leave me hanging too long.

I think Zac's definitely scared of showing his true feelings.

But the way that I started this, so I was. But I'm here to change that.

I'm here to actually fall in love and put my heart on the line. I want him to do the same.

- No matter who I try with, it's too much of a connection, you know?

- It's pretty tricky this late on in the game. - Like, I got one day.

- I don't know what to tell you, bro. Like, you gotta try something. - (CHUCKLES)

- What did you wanna have a yarn about?

- Yeah, so ,obviously, I just wanna have a chat, like, about us. - About us?

- This is Tom's final chance to prove that he actually wants to be here

and he's actually interested in me.

I don't know if he's just settling because I'm the only girl that's picked him

or if we could potentially have a future.

- I sort of seem to think we get along pretty well with each other.

- OK, cool. That's good. Um...

- I'd like to think you feel the same.

- Yeah. No, oh my God, of course. Like I said, you're― you're in my top two, so that's great.

But I just kinda wanna see, I guess, do you kinda see us...

ever ending up being more than friends?

- I'd like to think that I could see that.

- Are you just telling me what I wanna hear? - Oh, no, no.

Well, obviously, I wouldn't have chosen you if I just wanted to be friends with you, which is...

I'd like to think that I've made that pretty clear.

- Obviously, Cooper's, like, putting his graft in. - (LAUGHS)

- Like, are you gonna do the same? Are you gonna let him step in? Like, what are you gonna do?

- I'm definitely not gonna let him steal my spot. 100%. - Yeah.

So, how are you gonna do that?

- Shit, well, we'll have to figure that out.

My mind's pretty blank at the moment, eh.

- You might have to come up with some questions for me and see if we can get on a deeper level, you know.

- I think that might be an awesome idea. - Mm.

- Brain just froze right then and there. And I was like, fuck. Couldn't think of anything to say.

- If you guys won the money, what would you do with that?

- Well, cos you'd split it with me, so I'd probably take you on a nice holiday.

- This guy's so smooth. How am I supposed to compete with this? Goddamn.

(SMOOTH MUSIC)

- I'm sorry, but Tom's gone, eh. - I dunno. Cos I don't think she wants to get two Fboys.

And she knows. - Gotta keep interesting, eh. - But I just don't think, like―

- I'd be shitting it if I was Will and Taite, for sure, bro.

- Look at these waves. - Can we attack all of them? - Look at these sets, bro.

- Yeah, bro, get in there on the log, I reckon, bro. Come on. - The log will take these easy.

- Come straight up on to the falls ― bang ― droppin' in, lean back.

- Straight in ― kapow. - Scoot out.

- Do you even surf, bro? - Nah, I've never surfed before in my life.

- So... - Go away from everyone. - Yeah, finally.

- I just wanted to, like, let you kind of say your piece,

because I know we've had a chat about the whole Fboy title and stuff.

- Yeah, I understand.

- I don't know where my head's at with Taite, and I'm feeling really unsure.

I need to do some more digging, though.

Yeah, so basically, Ro goes, 'Taite's only here for the money.

'That's what he said in the beginning.'

- Is that what he said?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I'm not here for the money, honestly.

'I was fumin'.'

I couldn't believe it. I was like, what the fuck, bro? Put me into this position.

- I just wanna hear your side of things. - Yeah.

- Like... I mean, like, maybe at the start, you did say you were here for the money.

- Nah, I was, yeah. At the beginning, I said that. I think I said that on the beach.

- Yeah. - And then I didn't expect to find anyone, to be honest,

cos I'm pretty picky when it comes to girls.

- When you're saying that at the beginning you said you're here for the money,

as in, like, you are gonna split it, or like, you're gonna take the whole lot because you didn't think

there was gonna be a connection?

- Yeah, at the beginning, I thought that I was just gonna be here to take the money.

- You think you could've done that? - Yeah. Oh, yeah, but now, what's it called?

I fully met you and then actual got to know you, it's way harder to do.

- You're a dumbarse if you've come on here talking about taking the money.

Like, you know, why say that? It was like― I just felt like he wasn't being smart about it.

So, like, would you say coming on the show you were kind of wanting money over a connection or...?

- In the end, if it came to it, 25 G's or 50 G's, I'd rather have love than actual have 25G's or 50.

- I'm kind of like,...

how genuine is that?

- For me, it does mess with my head a little bit when Ro's saying this.

- Now I'm just shitting bricks.

- So, yeah, I just wanted to kind of... - Yeah.

And I don't think I actually even say that to Ro, by the way, as well.

Think he might be chucking me under the bus.

I'm like 80-20 I'm pretty much gonna be out.

Pretty much dunno what Kiera's thinking.

- There's part of me that honestly does believe he's found a connection.

But when someone's saying, 'Oh, he came in talking about money,' who am I supposed to believe?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- Kia orana, boys.

- Kia orana, Shav. - Kia ora, Shav.

- Ah, well, well, my final six has jumped to nine.

Just when you thought you only had one other dude to contend with,

gatecrashers, stealing your beersies, dropping dip on your decks, hitting on your girl.

Will, you worried? - I am, Shav. Yeah.

Ro's a really cool guy. He came in as a nice guy. So he's definitely gonna be my competition.

I'm not shitting myself, but it's gonna just play on my mind as well that anything can happen.

All these crazy things are going along.

- Greg, do you feel that your connection with Coco is greater than these gatecrashers?

- I'd like to hope so.

I'm pretty confident that I'm number one.

So, if anything, it'd be Zac and Denny fighting it out.

- Well, ladies, you each brought one guy back from Limbro or Nice Guy Grotto.

Have they made an impact? Or is it too little too late? How we feeling?

- Feeling pretty good. Feeling pretty confident. Yeah.

- Have they mixed things up, Kiera? - I think this elimination is definitely the toughest for me.

- Oh, wow. OK. - Yeah.

- I feel cautiously confident, but there's still that question of ― was it enough time?

Did I make enough of an impact to really put myself in front of Will or Taite?

- Kita. - Yeah, I think Cooper came in pretty strong today.

I'm not gonna lie.

- Maybe I could have a shot to take Tommy out. Maybe there's a small little chance.

- OK, boys, I'm gonna give you each the chance to plead your case. Make it count, all right?

Greg, you're first.

- Coco. I never thought I'd make it this far in this competition,

cos I don't normally build relationships very quickly, but here we are.

I'm not driven by money. I came here as a nice guy.

So I'm pretty surprised, I can't lie, but I'm looking forward to get to know you more

in and outside of the show.

- Ro. - Kiera, we've had the shortest journey here,

but I feel like in that short space of time, we've really connected.

Our conversations flow so naturally, and it's been really interesting getting to knowyou.

And I'd really like to see us continue.

- Denny.

- Thanks for bringing back, Coco. It was a bit of a shock, if I'm honest.

I actually really enjoyed our time together just briefly this morning,

and I think, yeah, if you give me a bit of a chance, I don't think you'll regret it.

- Tomo.

- Gidday, Kita. Well, this whole experience has been quite a big whirlwind of emotions,

and, obviously, you and I get along really well with each other,

really hoping we get more chances to, you know, get to know each other better.

I'm shitting myself every elimination. This one, though ― fuck, I actually pooed my pants.

- Will.

- Hi, Kiera. I came to this island on a whim.

I knew the special someone I would find would be found through shared crazy experience.

When I first saw you, you're my type to a T.

But then getting to know you, I keep finding even more reasons to say we have a lot of commonground.

And I'm loving getting to know you.

You wanna leave here with a best friend, and so do I.

So I think we share that same desire to walk out of here with someone we're completely comfortable with.

- Sam.

- Kita, obviously, you and I probably have the best connection in here.

From day one, I've been all for you, and I don't think that will ever change.

I love every bit of time I get to spend with you.

And, yeah, hopefully that keeps up, so... (EXHALES DEEPLY)

- Zac.

- Hey, Coco. I know we haven't had the smoothest journey on this island,

but it'd be a bit boring without a few bumps in the road, wouldn't it? (CHUCKLES)

I believe we have a strong connection

otherwise, you probably would have given me the boot already.

I would like to keep making that connection stronger if you give me the chance.

Feeling a little bit nervous, but at the same time, like, I'm feeling confident,

cos all the bullshit that's come up about me is already being put behind us.

- Cooper.

- Hey, Kita, you said I came in hot. Hopefully not a little too hot.

I'd like to get to know you a bit more, and you gave me a second chance,

and I hope you can continue that second chance. Yeah.

Not too confident, as her mind is pretty made up.

- Taite.

- Hey, Kiera,

Pretty much from day one when it was the pink dress with the red high heels,

I knew I was gonna be into you in the end.

Uh, that wasn't my intention coming here; I wasn't lying.

But you've honestly turned me around, to be honest, and that is my honest truth.

And, yeah, just seeing you, knowing that we already have a connection,

even though it was a slow burn at the start,

I hope you still keep me here for another chance.

- Well, it's clear to see that connections have formed very quickly on this island.

So let's see if our new guys have made enough of an impact to make it into the final.

Ro, Denny and Cooper,

come on up.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

Kita, do you want to sub Cooper in for one of your top two, bringing him back into the game?

(TENSE MUSIC)

- Yep, I would like to sub Cooper in.

- WHISPERS: See ya later, boys.

- OK. That means you have to replace him with someone. So who's that gonna be?

(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)

- I'm going to replace him with Tom.

- Tommo, you get up here.

- I just think, Tom, we've kinda had our run, and maybe it's not gonna go any further.

And I appreciate all the effort you've put into me.

But, potentially, there might be more of a connection with Cooper,

so I wanna give him that opportunity.

- The only good thing that came out of it ― I reckon Cooper's a bloody top bloke.

He definitely deserved it.

I don't think he deserved it more than me, but at least he― he deserved it.

- Kiera, do you want to sub Ro in and replace one of your top two?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- I'm sorry.

I am

shitting myself.

(WHIMPERS)

- It's OK. You can take a moment. - (CLEARS THROAT) Yeah. Um...

I don't― I'm... so torn between all three of them.

I would like to sub Ro in.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

- Ro, you must have done something big today, because you were out in the first elimination.

Kiera's just subbed you back in to the game.

OK, so...

who is he replacing?

- Um...

(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)

Taite.

- Ro, can you please go and replace Taite?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

And, Taite, our 'naki hard plumber. - Hello. Yeah, boy.

- Didn't quite have the right tools for the job, eh? - Nah.

- Kiera, why have you decided to take Taite out of the game?

- I think, for me, obviously, Ro and I got a really short amount of time.

There was definitely a connection there that came pretty quickly as well.

And, obviously, stuff's been said that I really― I can't trust you at the moment,

and I think it's too far on in the game to bring that trust back. Yeah.

- Sweet as.

I was pretty― pretty bummed, but is what it is though, eh? Don't hold grudges, mate.

- Coco.

Do you want to sub in Denny and give him a shot at the final?

- I...

(TENSE MUSIC)

...will not be subbing Denny in today, unfortunately.

I feel like the connections I've made so far are really strong, and I feel like

today just proved even moreso.

Sorry, Denny.

- Denny the dark horse. You came and had a hoon. It didn't work out.

Back to Limbro you go. - Back to Limbro.

Had a good chance, so it was good. Thanks, Coco. - Nice.

Well, Tommo ―

nice guy, nice try.

- (CHUCKLES)

- Boys, I already know what you are, but I love this part, so humour me.

Fboys...

F-bye.

- Chur.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

- You're OK, babe.

- I think I've been played. Like, I think the whole time he was playing me.

It really makes me wonder about the other boys now, too.

- What other curveballs are they gonna throw at us now? Everyone's kind of on edge.

It's like, we thought we had the top six. Nah. There's a new top six.

Keeps you on your toes, cos you know that there could be a curveball around the corner at any point.

(FUNKY MUSIC)

- # It's night. All right.

# You looking real good.

# Hold me tight.

# Oh, I wish you would.

# I like them boys.

# I like them boys. #
