[tense music plays]
[Lottie] I can't do this anymore. I can't.
[breathing heavily]
[Big Zuu] I have it within me. I just need to push a little harder.
[music pulsing]
[Mel B] Where now? When can I go?
[whispers] Okay, I've got Mel just here.
[tense music continues]
[Mel B] ****. He's right there.
Oh.
[frenzied string music plays]
[Bear] Okay, time to make my move.
[music stirs]
[Mel B] ****!
[panting]
[exhales sharply]
[shrieks, laughs]
Oh my God!
[grunting breathlessly]
-[Bear chuckles] -[Mel B groans]
Oh, you bugger.
-[sighs] -Okay.
[Mel B breathing heavily]
-[huffs] -You doing all right?
-Yeah. -Tired?
-Hot. -[Bear pants]
Yeah, it's a tough environment.
-Yeah. -Well done, Mel.
-[breathing heavily] -[Bear] Relax. Breathe. Breathe.
Okay? You've got some water in your backpack.
-I'm gonna get it out for you. -I have it here.
That was absolutely brutal.
I mean, I thought the first Bear Pit was horrendous.
And I got out.
That was… impossible.
[breathing heavily]
[gunshot echoes]
-Oh, someone else has been caught. -Someone's got caught.
Two caught.
-[dramatic sting] -He's upping his game, I think.
[monkeys chattering]
[dramatic music plays]
I've still got two to catch. Stay there.
[Holly] Lottie and Zuu are the only two Bear-pitters still on the run.
Lottie is at the ladder exit,
having twice failed to retrieve all the missing rungs she needs to escape.
Zuu now has the keys he needs for the tunnel exit,
thanks to the generosity of rival Una.
Una, thank you so much.
[Holly] But with Bear on the hunt for his next victim,
escape is by no means guaranteed.
[ticking]
[suspenseful music plays]
I'm gonna cut around. Come on.
If Zuu's managed to get the keys,
he's gonna be on his way back now to the tunnel exit to escape.
If I'm quick, I might just be able to get him.
[Big Zuu] This is one of the toughest things I've done,
but I know I need to get to that exit as soon as possible.
[Bear] Yeah, there he is.
I can just see him in the distance.
[Big Zuu breathlessly] I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted.
I'm staying calm.
I just wanna get to my exit, see what I can do, and evade Bear.
Big Zuu, good job.
Physically strong.
I thought he would be dead by this point here.
Flat out, he's still going, driving on.
I love that determination.
But if he stops… I'm gonna get him.
[Big Zuu breathing heavily]
I need a break.
-Huh? -[twig snaps]
I can see Bear.
-[tense music plays] -[Big Zuu panting]
Getting towards that final stretch.
I've got the key. Now I just need to get back to the tunnel.
[exhaling sharply]
[ominous music plays]
[breathing heavily]
[grunts]
Oh, [bleep]!
[sighs]
Oh, it's in, but it's not twisting.
[bleep]
[music intensifies]
Damn!
Come on, big boy. You've got this.
[grunts wearily]
[grunts]
I can see him. [sighs]
-I can't. -[Bear] Aw, Big Zuu.
-[Big Zuu groans] -[Bear] Oh, my man, you were close.
[both panting]
-You got the keys? -[Big Zuu] Yeah.
[Bear] Come down here.
[Big Zuu coughs]
Your heart rate is high, which means you've been working flat-out.
[exhales sharply]
Scale of one to ten, how much have you just given?
[scoffs] About 90%.
-Ninety? -I had ten left to get through there.
Could you have moved a little faster?
I could've, yeah. I should've, but I was--
-[Bear] Then you deserve to be caught. -I was done. I was done. I was done.
-[gunshot echoes] -I've-- Uh. Uh.
[sighs]
[breathing heavily]
Three people caught.
We're gonna go.
We're gonna do it. We're gonna give it a go.
-[Steph] Three. -[Danny] What?
-No way. He's not gonna catch all of them. -If he catches all of them, that's mad.
If I hear another bang,
we know that we're gonna have to be on our… on our game.
[ticking]
So now we're down, back amongst the trees.
Remember, we're scanning through the trees,
not looking at the trees.
I'm looking for movement.
[tense, dramatic music plays]
I'm here now. It's right in the middle.
[resonant pinging]
He could be anywhere. I still can't believe he hasn't caught me.
I saw someone.
[breathing heavily] I think it was Bear.
[Bear] That's Lottie.
[Lottie] I gave it my best shot, but I can't do it.
I'm just gonna hide.
[Bear] I'm gonna get on her tail, see if I can get close to her.
Okay, don't panic. You've got this. You've got this.
[breathing heavily]
[tense music building]
[Lottie shrieks]
[both panting]
-I'm honestly kind of relieved. -[Bear] Are you okay?
-Oh my God. -Last woman standing.
-Really? Oh my God! Oh my God! -Good job. Good job.
-Oh my God. -It's, uh…
-You weren't far from getting out. -Oh my God.
-Hands in there. You are learning fast. -[chuckles]
Yeah.
All four caught, and I am done.
[gunshot echoes]
[Steph] Ooh!
That's everyone.
[Kola] They all got caught.
That's embarrassing, man.
-[Danny] That's four out of four. -Yeah.
[Kola] First time that's happened.
-[foreboding music plays] -[thunder rumbles]
[hawk screeches]
That's all four celebrities captured
and heading to Bear Pit Court to be judged.
But who's gonna be saved,
and who's getting an early chopper ride home?
[tense music plays]
[Bear] Okay.
Took us all to the edge, I feel, that one.
Una, I know I can see the heartbreak, but you walked into that trap,
you got lured by that shiny object, and boom, you're done.
-[bang] -No, I have to get out.
No!
High risk early on for no payoff.
Mel, I think you were wandering pretty aimlessly for a lot of that time.
I didn't understand the map. I went the wrong way.
I'm totally at the wrong side. I think I'm totally off path.
I don't [bleep] know.
These maps are as simple as they can be.
What's hard is the pressure you're under.
I think, at times, it got a bit overwhelming,
and it's hot, and you're tired.
I'm exhausted.
You're exhausted, but you got fight.
And I never underestimate that.
Lottie, A for effort.
And you would've got out
if you'd been better at your problem-solving.
[breathes heavily]
I can't do this anymore. I can't.
I've gone back and forth twice. I'm so exhausted. I can't do it.
You went to get the rungs, and then you went back again,
so then I end up catching you in the last minute,
and you were out of time.
Yeah. [sniffs]
Big Zuu, likewise, I caught you right at that exit point.
-You had the keys in your hand. -No way.
And I just got you at the last minute.
Oh, it's in, but it's not twisting.
[huffs, groans]
I'm exhausted.
-[dramatic sting] -[Bear] You were close.
[Big Zuu huffs]
You gun it, you give it everything, and you would've got out.
Life is about the extra 10%.
[tense music continues]
The person, though, ultimately,
that I believe has run their course…
[exhales deeply]
[Bear] …on this adventure…
[music abates]
…is Mel.
-I knew it. -[Lottie] Oh my God.
The chopper is inbound… and you're out.
[Lottie] No.
Thank you, though, 'cause I've had the best…
-Oh my God, Mel. -…time ever.
-The best time. Yeah. -[Una] Oh man.
And I wanted to show that even though you've been through stuff in life,
you can still just get up there and be badass.
Woo-hoo!
You'd be surprised how resilient you are.
Girl power!
[laughing]
Whoo!
[suspenseful music plays]
[in singsong] Who's it gonna be?
Please be Lottie.
[gates creak]
[Steph] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
-Yeah! -[all cheer]
-[Shirley] Yes! -[Steph laughing]
Oh my days.
-[Steph] Woo-hoo! -[Shirley laughing]
-[Lottie] Oh my God. Oh my God. -[Shirley] Yes!
-[Steph] You're back! You're back! -[laughs] I'm back! I'm back! I'm back!
[Steph] Yes! Well done!
[music fades out]
-[Kola] Tell us what happened. -[Danny] What happened to Mel?
Bear decided that, um,
Mel was just not focused on a plan, didn't have a plan,
just didn't do enough to… to stay in the process.
-But I feel like it was her time. -[Joe] Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's unfortunate that Mel got caught,
and we will miss her, but it was a fabulous three that got back,
and it was really quite emotional.
-I was caught in a trap straight away. -Oh.
I said, "I'm gonna go for the tunnel exit,"
which is kinda like towards the left top of the map.
Get to the tunnel now, I can't even put the key in the ting.
-I'm trying to twist it. -Oh, that's horrible.
He's put his hand on my shoulder. "You're done, mate."
-[gasps] Oh, you did amazing, all of you. -[Big Zuu] So, yeah, I almost did it.
I think the Bear Pit has taught me to go against myself.
I feel like I've been so big on this competition
and wanting to win and wanting to be the number one,
and it's not about that.
It's more about learning about yourself,
and what I did was learn that I have it within me.
I just need to push a little harder.
[sighs] For me, I didn't make it out, but I did get to the last minute.
And then he catches me, seconds to go.
-Wow. Well done, Lot. -[Lottie] So I am really proud of myself.
-[Steph] Well done! -[all clap]
We're proud of you, Lottie.
-Yeah, well done, Lots. -Very proud of you.
Real happy to see, you know, how they achieved
and… and what they did to get through,
but I think everyone had a… a special moment for Lottie.
The way she's matured and developed in this period,
it's been amazing to see.
-[soft, pensive music plays] -[crickets chirping]
[thunder rumbling, crashing]
Oof!
[metal clatters]
[Big Zuu] Brudda.
I'm losing that weight right now, boy. This is a… this is a boot camp.
-[Joe] Yeah. -[Danny] For real.
It really is.
I'm gonna go home thinner, I think.
Thinner, stronger, mentally resilient.
[Una] It's a little bit, um, embarrassing to be stuck in a cage that long.
-Everyone got caught. -[Una] I know, but I just walked into it.
It's no different to you, mate. It's no different to you.
Don't be embarrassed by that.
I'm feeling very deflated and disappointed in myself
that I didn't go in there a fighter today.
Do I deserve this second chance?
Next time, I'm just gonna go in there and… and… and fight a bit harder.
-You gotta smash that challenge tomorrow. -Yeah.
-You know what I mean? -I will.
I just need to go back the fighter that I went in on day one in the Bear Pit
and pull my socks up and do myself proud because I didn't today at all.
[Steph] We've lost four people now.
I'm gonna miss Mel,
so can we, uh, raise a glass or a…
a fork?
-I'll raise a plate. -[Joe] And a plate.
-[Una] To Mel. -Mel B.
-[Steph] To Mel B! -To Mel B!
She's definitely a loss from the lodge,
but this is the game we're in now.
We are gonna lose people, and that's just the way it goes.
[rhythmic guitar music plays]
[music fades]
[upbeat music plays]
[birds chirping]
[Steph sighs]
-It's someone's last night tonight. -[Shirley sighs] Yeah.
I wonder if it'll be mine.
I think I'm due a run back in the Bear Pit.
Just gotta win the challenges if we're on each other's team.
Easier said than done.
[tense music plays]
[Danny] Head in the game.
Head in the game, bruv.
[Danny] It could be anything thrown at us.
There's so much anticipation in the air.
No one knows what this challenge is gonna be,
but I quite like going into the unknown and testing myself.
-You like the socks? -Ooh, yeah.
[laughing]
If I don't do well in this challenge, I'm going back in the Bear Pit again.
Going into the Bear Pit for the third time,
your chances are slim, so a lot depends on this challenge.
[Steph] Em, Kola, how are you?
[tense music continues]
-[grunts] -[laughs]
From day one, it's been so obvious that Kola's competitive.
Yeah, he's all fun and games, but in a challenge situation,
he's just thinking about number one.
We're all his enemy right now. He just can't…
He's just, like, focused. [chuckles]
[Kola huffing]
The only way I can prepare for a challenge
is by making sure I'm in… I'm in the right game mode.
That's the reason why I probably came here, to challenge myself.
I don't wanna go back to that Bear Pit, so I have to win.
[music rises, fades]
[Holly] Yesterday, Bear managed to capture all four
of the celebrities who entered the Bear Pit.
So if there was ever a time for our celebs to up their game
and impress the man in charge, it's today.
In their next challenge out here in the mudflats.
-Hello. -[tense music resumes]
[Lottie] Hello.
Making us work for it today, huh, Holly?
Get those steps in for the day.
Well, welcome back to the mudflats.
It does seem like a lifetime ago since you started your journey here.
So, just over there, you can see two shelters.
Perfect for spending the night in.
You'll be working in two teams.
What you need to do is dismantle your shelter
and move it from its current position
and rebuild it over there on the colored posts.
The tide will be coming in,
so the faster you move, the easier this is gonna be.
Now, while this is a race,
you'll also be judged on how well you rebuild your shelter.
So the good news is, the winning team will be heading back to the lodge
for a slap-up dinner.
The bad news,
the losing team will have to stay in their shelter…
-No! -…and cook their own dinner tonight.
[Lottie] No!
-You're joking! -[Joe] Sorry?
-[Big Zuu] Rubbish. -And it gets worse.
Then they'll go into the Bear Pit tomorrow…
-…against this guy. -[Lottie] No way!
[clapping]
-[Lottie] No full way! -[Holly] Hi, Bear.
Great challenge. Great challenge.
The thought of staying in a shelter scares the life out of me,
because we're in-- we're not in, like, you know, the Lake District here.
We're literally in the middle of a jungle.
[tense music continues]
This challenge is gonna test your speed, your efficiency,
but maybe most importantly, your ability to work together.
'Cause in the wild, shelter really can be the difference between life and death.
The tide is coming in here.
[dramatic sting]
And when it comes in, it comes in fast.
For this challenge, each team is gonna have a leader.
Shirley, you're gonna lead one team.
Joe… you are gonna lead the other team.
[suspenseful music plays]
Joe and Shirley, I'm picking you
because neither of you have yet been in the Bear Pit.
One of you will be this time.
[Shirley] I'm feeling a little apprehensive about the challenge
because it's like waiting for a sentence.
My time is coming to go in that Bear Pit,
and, I have to say, my tummy gets more queasy by the day.
[Holly] Joe, you get to choose first.
-Yeah? -I feel like I'm in school or something.
Trust me, I don't wanna get picked last. I don't want last.
[Joe] Frankly, I'm not comfortable giving instructions.
Unless a third party has said I'm in charge.
-So, Joe, who are you gonna pick? -I'll have Una.
-[Una] Ah. -Oh!
-[Holly] Well done, Una.
[Shirley] At this stage of the competition,
I need to be on a team of focused people.
-[Shirley] I'll take Steph. -[Steph] Thank you.
-Zuu. -[Big Zuu] Come on, my brudda.
-[Shirley] I'll take Danny. -Lottie.
And I'll take Kola.
So there you go. We have two strong teams, actually, there.
I took, like, a calculated risk
to build the team out of… out of that group.
And I did think they've all just been in the Bear Pit,
so they'll be incredibly well motivated.
So I was like, "We have… We have to win this now."
I picked, on my team, to have Steph.
She's got an engineering background.
And I picked Danny because Danny's really quite caring and very thorough.
-I've never been picked last. -Never?
-[chuckles] -First time for everything.
[Joe] We're just gonna untie four knots. That, that, that, and that one.
We're then gonna move the entire A-frame back
and just tie it to the ground intact.
Then we're gonna move the base over there,
then we come back for the lid and put the lid on.
-Okay. -[Joe] So four simple steps.
What we need to do, I think get the tarp over first.
That's the heaviest. I think we roll it, to get it to sit in the spikes.
-And then we carry the spikes over. -[Shirley] Mm.
-[suspenseful music plays] -[Bear] Okay, you ready?
Remember, calm, clear leadership
and efficiency in how you do this.
-Holly, can you whistle? -I'll give it my best shot.
The tide is coming in. You can go on my whistle. [whistles]
-[dramatic music plays] -[Joe] Right, let's go. Let's go.
Right, you don't need to run, guys. Let's take our time.
[Danny] How do you do that bit, Kola?
[dramatic music continues]
It was so much pressure. [chuckles]
Like, I was like, "We just have to win this."
-I'm almost there. -[Joe] Good.
-Yeah, we've got it. Got this one. -Cool.
-I've got this one too. -Should I take this one over?
Yeah, take it, take it. Okay, well done.
-They've already done the back bit, Steph. -Yeah.
-Can you do mine? -[Bear] The tide is on its way.
-I can see it. -[Shirley] I can't get this one undone.
[Steph] We just could not get the knots open.
In fact, my nails are wrecked from them. [chuckles]
You gotta make sure that when you do this, you know where all the other bits go.
Like, one bit of rope looks like another bit of rope.
And you gotta get the long bit in--
[Bear] Otherwise, it's like dismantling an IKEA thing at home.
-[Holly] Yeah. -[grunts]
Okay, it feels like the blue team look like they're way ahead, actually.
They're already taking bits over.
[Joe] Sorry. Sorry. Well done.
-Okay, go with it. Go with it. -[Bear] Ruthless, Una.
-[Holly] Go on, Una. -[Una panting]
It's one thing getting it apart. But will they get it back? Well done, Una!
We were all very focused.
And I… I… I did, at one point, look across at the others,
and I saw that they were so far behind us.
Like, it was by quite a lot.
What are we doing once over there?
-Are we taking that frame? -[Danny] Take some bits over.
It all moved far too slow for me.
-[Lottie] Let's get the base. -[Joe] Guys, good with the base?
-[Big Zuu] Yeah. -[Joe] Go with the base.
[dramatic music continues]
-You ain't gotta run. You ain't gotta run. -Go, guys.
[Biz Zuu] You ain't gotta run. Conserve your energy.
The other team flew.
You know, we were still playing with knots while they'd got across.
[Big Zuu] Line it up. Together, each corner.
-[Lottie] There we go. -Let's go. Let's go.
-Do you need three of you on that? -Hey, hey, Shirley, go back.
-[Steph] Shirley, come back. Come back. -[Kola] We don't need you. Go back.
-[Danny] Shirley, go back. -Come on, Shirley, lead.
Strong guys, play to their strengths.
It just didn't quite flow as quickly as we wanted.
[Kola] Shirley, what's the matter?
It's that dead tight.
[Bear] You got some catching up to do.
By the time we'd got everything ready to go…
[Shirley] Come on, Steph.
…they was already at the point to start building the tent.
-[Joe] Stick it in. -[grunts]
[Joe] Okay. Right, come on!
[Lottie] Come on, guys.
Joe, what a man, what a leader.
This is a race, actually, so just get it right.
Listen, when he's in his little normal Joe humble mode,
he's quite quirky, unique.
But when he's a leader, he is driven.
Yeah? He is focused.
[music intensifies]
[Bear] The tide is really moving now.
Remember, if you are the ones staying here tonight, you wanna be dry.
[yells]
Get in, Joe. Stay with it.
Stay focused.
-[Joe] Right, come on. Come on. -[Steph] Put that in.
-[Bear] You guys are catching up nicely. -[Holly] You really are. Closing the gap.
-[Bear] You're making up time. -[Danny] No rush.
Come on!
Use all of your manpower efficiently.
There's no rush.
[Shirley] There is, Danny, a little bit.
It's not always about any individual being a leader.
You know, you've gotta be a team.
Let's just get this on and then think about the tension.
-[Shirley strains] -Get this on.
[Danny] Come on, guys. Come on. We don't need to pull that, please.
-[grunts] -[Danny] No, no, no.
When you do that, you pull the whole thing.
-I'm just making it tight. -Just do it with some calmness, please.
Please, Shirls.
-Do that end, I'll do this, yeah? -Get this tied. Needs to be in that gap.
-[Joe] I got it. Can you do the other end? -Not too much.
Kola, you're pulling it over. You're pulling too tight.
-[Kola] It's too-- -[Shirley] Just do it.
It was quite difficult to lead
because I found that everybody was speaking a little bit over each other.
-[Steph] Kola, get it on. -Where's the rope that ties that one?
-You can all shorten-- -Danny. Danny.
-Yeah? -Danny.
Look at the water.
Guys, the water is starting to creep in from the sides now.
[Big Zuu] We're good. It's strong. It's in. Una.
-[Una] What do you want me to do? -Tighten this. Get it on. Hold it.
There we go. You're on.
We were really, really strong. We just all pulled together.
And we didn't look at what the others were at.
-[Shirley] I'm a string missing here. -[Steph] That's all right.
The difficulty is, none of us are used to putting up a shelter in a swamp,
and you're trying to deal with the tide.
-[grunting] -[wood clacking]
-[Holly] Go on, Shirley. -[grunts]
Imagine it's Craig Revel Horwood.
When I put stakes in the ground, they were really quite secure.
Danny came in, was trying to move them.
-[Bear] Why are you taking that out? -To move them away.
-You can just adjust the rope, can't you? -[Danny] Okay, that's true.
-That's much smarter. Good idea. -[tense music builds]
[Bear] Make sure these tent pegs are secure.
Kola, do not use your hand, Kola. You've got a mallet there.
[Joe] We need to stop very, very soon, please.
[dramatic music plays]
-[Big Zuu] We're good. -We're good.
-We're good. Done. -[Joe] Come here.
Okay, Blue Team are done. Well done, guys.
-[Big Zuu] Let's go! Let's go! -[Una] Yeah! Yeah!
I feel really good. I'm so pleased with how that all went.
And I'm so, so proud of… of my team.
Like, they were just… they were brilliant, to be honest.
Look, look, look. They still got problems.
-They still got issues. -[Holly] Here comes that water.
-Who's done this? -There we go.
-[Danny] Good work, Kola. -Right. There. Pull that.
[Bear] When that tide reaches us, we are done.
[Steph] We'll be done by then.
-Have you got string? -[Steph] Yeah.
[Shirley] You need to pull it super tight, both of you. It's not tight enough.
We put all the ropes back again,
making sure that the tarp is really tight and not sinking.
[Big Zuu] Hey! You're a champion!
-Go on, Joe! -[Joe laughs]
-[Una laughs] Go! -Go on, Joe!
[Kola] God, he talks a lot.
Little bit angry at the way that the other team reacted.
I feel like it was completely over the top.
-[Big Zuu] Surely you gotta leave it. -[Bear] Good work.
[tense music plays]
Look at this embarrassment.
[snickering]
You're the worst winner in the world, bro.
-In the world. -All's fair in love and war.
[Kola] Genuinely, I've never met a worse winner than him.
-It's all good. It's all good. -Team leader, let's go!
-Legends. Legends. -[Una] Yeah, legends.
Jarring guy, bro.
Are you serious?
Why are you screaming like that
when we haven't even finished tying our things?
I feel like it's a slap in the face.
-[Danny] Nice, Kola. -[Holly] Guys, your time is nearly up.
-Here comes the water. -[Danny] Keep going, Kola.
[tense music plays]
[Shirley grunting]
[Steph] Kola, can you help me pull this? We just need to get the tension more.
[Kola] It's… it's coming off.
These knots are not done well, man. [tuts]
Oh God.
I think we're good. I think that tide is now under the shelter.
[Holly] Shirley, you happy?
-Are you done? -Yeah.
-[Holly] You're done? -[Lottie] Good work. That was really hard.
I feel utterly disappointed.
Disappointed in myself, disappointed in my team.
[low, tense music plays]
[Holly] Well done, both teams. Excellent work.
-Look at what you did. -[Lottie] Yeah.
[Holly] Two standing shelters.
-In my eyes, it's very impressive. -[Shirley sighs]
[Holly] In your eyes?
Well, you were obviously first to finish.
I think you were pretty calm. You were pretty efficient.
You were obviously the fastest.
It's a little bit like a rain-catcher.
-A water-collection device, that. -[Lottie] Yeah.
If that rains, that's just gonna be one big balloon of water.
-Yeah. -This is definitely tighter.
I would like to see how sturdy they are.
[suspenseful music plays]
[Shirley sighs]
-[Lottie] Oh. -[Big Zuu] Oh, what's going on there?
Tension knots are for a purpose, so you can just adjust.
If that was tighter, it wouldn't be so rickety now.
So, to be honest, even though it's a little saggier,
that is going to endure longer and better.
[music building]
I think you guys are the winners.
[all cheering, screaming]
-[Big Zuu] Yeah! -[Una] Whoo!
Congratulations to the team leader, Joe,
still managing to evade the Bear Pit once again.
I'm so proud of the blue team, man, and our leader, Joe.
He is a visionary, man.
-Oh, Joe. Yeah. We did it, guys. -Oh Christ.
-[Una] Oh my God. -[Big Zuu] Respect.
[tense music plays]
[Kola] It's not because I was sore about losing.
It's because of the way that they celebrated winning.
[Blue Team squealing]
[Kola] It's not really fair, is it?
It just makes me feel like when Bear Pit's on the line,
friendships go out the window, and now I gotta go back in that Bear Pit.
You know,
and it's… it's… it's… it's a hard pill to swallow.
[Bear] While these guys get to go back to camp,
you guys get to experience a little bit about what it's like
to have to stay out in the swamps when it gets dark.
I'm gonna be bringing you dinner.
You're gonna love it.
I'm absolutely not. [chuckles]
Blue Team, Joe's team, you get a slap-up dinner at the lodge.
-Thank you, guys! -[Holly] Enjoy that.
-You guys can head back to base camp. -Thank you.
-Orange Team, I will leave you with Bear.
Have a lovely night.
-And enjoy your dinner. -Thank you, Holly.
Kola has not taken this loss very well. He's not a great… loser.
I think this was a massive loss for him today.
See you later, guys. Can someone carry me? [chuckles]
-[whimpers] -[water splashing]
-[electronic music plays] -[thunder rumbling]
[thunder rumbles]
That's a storm coming.
That was an intentional task
where there was a little bit of judgment to be done.
-It's harder to have a clear winner. -Yeah.
[Bear] But, uh, no… no, kind of, looking back.
-No. Keep moving forward. Yeah. -[Bear] Looking forward.
Okay? Super focused.
The Bear Pit is not just a scary place. It's a training place, yeah?
All for a purpose, so now, embrace the chance.
So food is not your priority out here,
even though you're burning a lot of calories.
In this heat, you need water.
But I do want you guys having energy.
I do want you to eat tonight.
Some army rations.
-Take one of these each. -Biryani.
-[Bear] Vegetable and chickpea. -[Danny] Ooh, lovely.
But the one thing you'll notice about these is that they're cold.
[whimsical music plays]
[Bear] So we wanna get it hot.
So the military supply these. Simple bag.
You tear this.
I'm gonna give each of you one of these.
Inside this,
there's a little chemical pouch.
When this gets wet, it creates a chemical reaction.
It gets really hot.
You've got full water bottles, but I want you to be drinking that.
I don't want you to be wasting that water. That's for your hydration.
A little bit of pee in here.
Little bit of the pouch. Don't worry. It's sealed.
So it's not gonna contaminate your… your dinner.
Do you want a little demonstration?
Whose is this one?
-[Danny] Kola's. -[Bear] Kola.
A willing volunteer, I love it.
[Kola chuckling]
Now, I'm not being funny.
I am fairly, you know, adventurous when it comes to food,
but this is minging.
-[chuckling] -[plastic rustling]
-[Kola chuckles] -[Shirley] There you go.
Okay.
-All right. -Oh my God. That genuinely is your wee.
I'm gonna leave that, and then, ten minutes,
that will be nice and warm, and then you take out the pouch.
-[plastic rustles] -Put that here.
Take out this. Make sure it's all nice and warm. Peel it.
Loads of calories in this. You're gonna need it for the Bear Pit.
-[hissing] -I can hear it cooking.
-[Bear] There you go. -Oh yeah.
-[rapid bubbling] -[Steph] It is as well! [chuckles]
[bubbling, hissing continues]
Unbelievable.
-Yeah. -Thank you, Bear.
-Thank you. -I love it.
You're the only people who would say thank you when I've peed on…
-[all laugh] -…on your dinner.
-I didn't say anything. [chuckles] -[all laugh]
Well done, guys. Legends.
-Cheers, mate. -Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
-Oh my God. [sighs] -I'm still gonna say it though.
Their one's gonna fall down.
[mellow electronic music plays]
[all chant] Blue Team!
-Blue Team! Blue Team! -[thunder crashes]
-[Big Zuu laughs] -[Joe] Come on!
-[Una] Yes! -[Big Zuu and Lottie] Oh my God.
-I've never been so happy to see camp. -[Joe] Look at this!
-[Lottie] Oh my God! -[Una] Ah!
-[Big Zuu] Oh my God. -[Joe] Champagne!
-Oh my God. There's a cake. -Oh my God. We've got cake!
-It's literally a banquet. [laughs] -We got a cake!
-[girls squeal] -[Big Zuu] Oh! Oh!
Bruv, let's eat, bruv.
-What we waiting for? -[Lottie] Yeah.
Today has been a day where it's felt like more or less everything has worked.
I felt quite heroic, and, um, I feel really proud of my team.
I chose you three for a reason.
I knew that it was a risk,
'cause I didn't wanna send you all back into the Pit again.
And you just came through so brilliantly, so cheers.
-Cheers, guys. -[girls] Cheers!
Cheers! Blue Team! Blue Team!
-Blue Team! -[Lottie] Blue Team!
There is part of me that's feeling really bad
that I'm enjoying this beautiful banquet
while the others are suffering somewhere else,
but I hope that they're all gonna be okay.
-[rain pelting] -[thunder cracks]
[Shirley] Is this the bag that I gotta wee in?
-Ladies and gentlemen… -[Shirley laughs]
…performing the wee-wee-wee…
[chuckles] …Shirley Ballas!
-Oh my God. She's doing it! -[Shirley] I'm not. Oh God. God.
This is so far from the Strictly ballroom…
[chuckles] …you just couldn't imagine.
Shirley Ballas, head judge, is literally stood squatting,
trying to wee into a bag.
I'm having to hold a sleeping bag around her
while she attempts to basically… [snickers]
…direct her wee into one of these bags.
[Shirley] Come on, Kola.
-[Kola] This is rock bottom! -[Steph laughs]
And then… and then, Shirley starts eating it.
I just can't get over the fact that it smells of wee,
and hot wee as well.
Like… [groans]
-[Shirley] Actually… -[Steph snickers]
[Shirley] …it tastes like spaghetti Bolognese.
I tell you, we can never lose another challenge so long as we live,
I'm telling you.
The other team, they're laughing and eating and being merry.
Now we've had to eat piss-covered food.
[whimsical music continues]
-[thunder crashing] -[music fades]
[bright music plays]
It was a long night for the Bear-pitters after they lost their challenge,
and they all learned a very valuable lesson.
Maybe don't go around to Bear's house for dinner.
Hopefully it didn't leave too bad a taste in their mouths. [retches]
Kolantine.
How are you feeling about today, bud?
Yesterday was a joke, bro.
-Nah, it's all good. -No, but you know what it was? It's like…
It's the way people act.
It's… it's like you're a kid.
Like… like what I saw was a child.
[Danny] Mm. Mm-hmm.
[Kola] I'm a little bit angry,
so I'm just gonna take myself away from the group
so I don't say something that I'll later regret.
[Lottie rasps]
-Can I sit? -Morning. Morning.
-Can I sit? -Yeah.
[Lottie sighs]
-[sniffs] -You all right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just tired.
Woken up. [sighs] How are you feeling?
[Kola] Mm. Don't care.
I feel like this brings out a bad side of me.
-Really? -Yeah.
And… and… and the way that they celebrated over building a shelter that wasn't even
that much better…
All I can hear is his voice, and he really jars me.
[Lottie] Yeah. You have to be strong enough to not let it get to you.
-I'm not letting it get to me. -[Lottie] Because--
But what's getting to me--
Kola, no one else in your team's let it get to them.
-No one else cares this much. -I… I…
-[Lottie] This attitude… -I don't give a damn.
It's not healthy, though, to get this worked-up over somebody.
-It's not. Whoever it is. -I'm not worked-up.
Am I allowed to… am I allowed to sit by myself
and… and look at the sun?
Is… is that okay?
Or do I have to be there and play happy families?
I just wanna talk to you. I feel like we've made a good friendship.
And I don't feel like I've acted in any sort of way.
-[Kola] It's all right. -So please don't make me feel… you know?
Let's stop talking about it. Talk about something else.
[Lottie] Mm.
[Kola] This experience is bringing a lot of emotions out of me,
and I believe that I'm supposed to be here,
you know, to prove to myself that I can do something like this.
I am on quite a bit of a journey.
-[waves crashing gently] -[birds chirping]
[downcast, pensive music plays]
I feel like Kola was super quiet. Was he okay?
-I mean… Ugh… -[Una] You spoke to him, didn't you?
[Lottie] I spoke to him.
-What was he saying? -[Lottie] Um…
He was upset with… a reaction from our side when we won.
-[Big Zuu] Ah, okay. -Yeah.
-But, I mean… -I hear that.
…ultimately, Kola doesn't accept loss very well.
-You know, I love him, but he doesn't. -Nah, he don't.
[Big Zuu] That loss really hurt Kola.
Maybe the way that we… we… we reacted might've… might've upset him,
but I feel like me and him are similar
in terms of the way we really wanna focus on winning.
I've got a lot of love and respect for Kola,
but, I don't know, man, all is fair in love and war.
[Lottie] It's that "not fair" mentality that I don't like. But you know what?
This challenge, this competition, it's not fair. Life isn't fair, you know?
I think if he comes back here, don't bring it up.
I'm just gonna leave it, bro. [sucks teeth]
I feel like on every Bear Pit morning, um, you know,
you have half of the team really focused about taking on this massive challenge,
and then Kola has definitely kept himself to himself,
but I just hope he's not too in his own head, you know?
He has to go out there and enjoy himself and bring back the good vibes.
[music fades]
[dramatic music plays]
[inaudible chatter]
Well, hello, everyone.
[music rises, fades]
Joe, first of all, congratulations on last night.
-How was your dinner? -It was good.
Good. Shirley, how was your dinner?
It was like a three-course meal 'cause it wasn't that bad.
-Good. -You just lick your fingers…
-Ugh! -[smacking] …and get on with it.
-That's what you do if you're in the wild. -[Holly] That is too much, Shirley.
You… you've changed, Shirley.
-Look at this. -[Holly] Look.
How much away from Strictly can you get than this?
-A long way from home. -[Shirley] There.
[Holly] It's your first time, Shirley, so how are you feeling?
I feel it's gonna be quite terrifying. I will give it 150%.
-You sound ready. -[Shirley] Yeah.
-Good. -I'm ready, but terrified.
So, Shirley, Steph, Kola, and Danny, you are about to head into the Bear Pit.
As you know, your aim is to either evade capture by Bear
or to escape the pit.
You're gonna be in there for an hour. There are three exit points.
Each exit point can only be used by one person.
[suspenseful music plays]
You all know this by now,
but any celebrities caught by Bear or in one of his traps
will be in danger of elimination.
Looking back at what happened in the first Bear Pit,
I didn't take enough risks.
I played it too safe.
So from this… this moment going forward,
you're gonna see a way more riskier Kola.
Okay, Bear-pitters, are you ready?
We are.
It is now time to head through those gates and into the Bear Pit.
-Good luck, everyone. Off you go. -[Steph] Thank you.
-[Una] Good luck. -[Danny] Cheers.
-You got this. -[Steph] Come on.
-Good luck. -Good luck, guys!
[dramatic drum music plays]
[Danny] It's Bear Pit time.
I'm gonna go in there and just give it 100% and test Bear out.
[Shirley] I am very scared
because I'm the only one who hasn't been in the Bear Pit yet.
But as terrified as I am,
I'm not leaving this competition without coming back to see my Bear cubs.
[Steph] This is my moment to show that I've listened to Bear.
I need to show him the woman inside of me
that's gonna get out of one of those exits.
[helicopter blades whirring]
[Kola] I've been written off in my life 100 times over.
But one thing about Kola, it's not how I fall.
It's how I get back up.
This place is primed, live, and ready to go.
[music swells]
[music crescendoes, fades]
-[helicopter whirring distances] -[low, somber music plays]
-[Danny] Good work, Steph. -[Steph] Yep. What have we got today then?
So we've got a fence exit,
we've got 4x4, and we've got a tunnel.
-Yeah, they're all pretty tight together. -All tight together, really.
[Holly] All three exits in the Bear Pit require a special tool
to enable an escape.
The location of the tools are displayed on maps at each exit point.
I know exactly where that is.
-I know where that one is, actually. -[Danny] Yeah.
-This is where the crocodile is as well. -Yeah.
I've never been in before,
and the other three already seem so confident,
when, in actual fact, my mind is bubbling.
You've been in before. Which is the easiest exit?
We're not gonna tell you that, Shirley. We're against each other now.
We're against each other right now. You know what I mean?
So there's nothing up here, but do you know what's gonna be up here?
-All the tools. -[Danny] Yep.
-Seriously? -[Steph and Danny] Yeah.
[Holly] Collecting a tool may not be that simple
as some of them have been placed in timed booby traps.
[mechanism clanks]
Bear-pitters will have 30 seconds to retrieve the tool
before the trap is triggered and all hope of escape is lost.
Right, let's not tell her any more.
She'll be the only one who gets out, and we'll be sat tied up to a tree.
[laughs]
The Bear Hunt
is ready.
[bang, popping]
-[ticking] -[suspenseful music plays]
[music fades]
Okay, so on this hunt, I wanna turn up the dial a little bit.
I wanna increase the intensity.
While they're all trying to figure out their plans,
I'm gonna base myself between the three exits.
Close the gap, close the distance, so come on.
[up-tempo, tense music plays]
[Kola] Nah.
Nah, wrong way.
I've got a plan. I never usually have one.
We're going full speed ahead, straight for the tunnel,
then go for a tool.
There's no hiding today. I'm gonna be in plain sight.
I've gotta take some risks.
[Shirley] Okay.
Where am I?
I'm hoping that path's that path.
Obviously, with age and everything,
I'm gonna be traveling a lot slower than they're traveling.
So I was thinking about heading for the tunnel.
The thing for me is, I would like to get out,
but at the end of the day, it's not being captured by any of those nets
or trip wires
or making too much noise that I alert Bear.
[Holly] Shirley is heading for the same exit as Kola,
but, as only one person can use each exit,
it will be a race to see who gets there first.
[music swells]
[music abates]
[Danny] Stay low. Stay low.
I'm going towards the fence, be as quick as I can and get out.
And if I see Bear, and if I've got to do some evading,
then that's what's gonna go down.
Okay, so there's a riverbed here,
which means the fence exit is about 600 meters up the savanna,
and the 4x4's directly ahead of me,
and the tunnel exit is a similar distance away in the shrub.
But this is a good, like, central point.
I can use it as a choke point,
just, first of all, to get visuals on them.
Once I know what they're doing, what their plan is,
then I can figure out the right strategy, who to take, and how.
[dramatic drum music plays]
[Steph] It's my second Bear Pit.
It's high left. Right.
I feel, like, in control of my nerves a bit more.
Can't even work out where I am.
My plan, I think, this time, is to work out where the tools are
and then work out my exit from that.
[Holly] It's a high-risk strategy.
Steph has no way of knowing where the tools are.
And even if she does find one, she'll have to guess which exit it's for.
[ticking]
Okay, so there's someone over there.
Oh, there we go. That's Danny.
[Danny] I feel quite open right now.
[low, tense music plays]
[Bear whispers] He is hyper alert.
[music pulsing]
Oh, I dunno. I'm pretty tempted just to shadow him.
Even if he knows I'm behind him,
it's gonna keep a fire up his backside, keep him on edge.
[Danny breathing softly]
I've gotta go quiet because I can hear some noise.
I need to outsmart Bear.
Do I need to outrun him? Do I need to try and climb a tree?
Do I need to try and hide behind a rock?
I don't know.
The thing is, if he's heading up there,
it means he's heading towards the croc pool.
But there's nothing really there for him.
I'm gonna be right behind him. Come on.
[resonant pinging]
[Steph] God.
I genuinely don't know where I am.
What's this?
Then I see a cage, and I'm like, "That's got a tool in it."
It's a flag. Okay.
-[foreboding music plays] -[bird squawking]
I've got 30 seconds, but I don't know what it is I'm looking for.
Oh, it's that hammer.
[breathes heavily] Do I go for it? Bear said take risks.
I'm gonna take risks.
[tense music builds]
-[tense drum music plays] -[ticking]
[ticking continues]
[grunts softly]
[panting, muttering]
[huffs]
Oh my God. I'm buzzing!
Quick, get away from here.
Right, I've got no idea what this is useful for yet.
I need to find an exit.
The closest one is the fence.
[soft heavy breathing]
God, I hope this is useful 'cause it's heavy.
[resonant pinging]
[Kola groans]
[Shirley] My heart's beating a thousand miles an hour.
I do not wanna get caught.
[mutters]
I think that's my tunnel.
I think I've found something on the tree.
I think it could be a… a map.
Okay, so I need the saw.
But it's on the other side.
[Holly] Not only is the saw Shirley needs on the other side of the pit,
she'll have to cross the Caiman Pool using the raft to get it.
[Kola] Ah, she's found it.
I bumped into Shirley at the tunnel.
[Shirley] Nobody else mattered.
[Kola] Saw.
[Shirley] Even at one point, Kola passed me, and I stayed stealthlike.
I didn't even chat. I just kept focused.
[Kola] Not going to plan.
So if I can get there before Shirley does, I know where the tunnel is.
It said saw, and then you can make your escape.
[Shirley] I'm gonna go slightly on the diagonal.
I'm not gonna go on the paths. Okay.
Here we go.
[rocks skittering]
[falling rocks clack]
[Danny] ****.
I'm making too much noise.
[breathing heavily]
I can see movement, but I can't…
[breathing heavily]
I don't know if it's Bear.
[Bear] I can still see him.
[tense music continues]
[Danny huffs]
Okay.
[Danny] I think he's on my trail. I think he's on my trail.
He's moving fast. He's looking skittish.
He might well have clocked me, but that's gonna work in my favor.
Flush him up there.
[resonant ping]
This time, there's no exit at the croc pool.
He's committed himself to a dead end.
And then once he's at that dead end,
we can bide our time and then pounce.
-[tense music continues] -[ticking]
Looking out for Bear.
It's exhausting.
[rocks skitter]
[Kola] Oh God.
Got myself lost again.
[Steph] Breathe.
I'm so exhausted at this point, I have no concept of time or anything.
I still don't really know where this fence is.
Oh, there's the riverbed.
Good. I recognize this place.
So I've got to get across that and up there.
[breathlessly] It's up that hill, isn't it? It is.
-[thunder rumbling] -[wind gusting]
What's going on? It's like a storm, isn't it?
Like, it's very, em, dark and eerie.
-There's an eerie feel. It's very eerie. -[Lottie] Eerie vibe right now.
[thunder rumbles]
[Big Zuu] Oh, it's starting to rain now.
-They're gonna be feeling it in there. -Uh-oh.
-[ominous music plays] -[ticking]
[dramatic music plays]
[Bear] So we're getting towards the edge of the pit up here.
Danny's running out of road.
[Danny huffs] I got myself in a dead end.
I could see him in the distance peering over.
I was trying to figure out my own way of how to avoid Bear,
but then I put myself into a corner.
He's just up here.
[Danny sighs]
I feel like a sitting duck right now. There's only cliff. I can't get up there.
Really, he should be trying to get outta here, get past me,
without getting caught, but he's just climbed up the other side.
Oh, I can see him.
[suspenseful music plays]
He's here. He's here. He's here.
[Bear] Oh, he's got the angle. He's got the angle.
[music building]
[Danny grunts, pants]
[music swells]
[Danny grunts]
-[dramatic sting] -Okay, down you come. Down you come.
[huffs, rasps]
[breathes heavily]
You made me run.
[Danny chuckles softly]
What are you doing up here though? There's no exit.
I know. I come up here in the dead end.
I looked to the left, I saw a croc. I looked to the right, I saw a Bear.
[Bear laughs]
Lesser of two evils. [chuckles]
Trust me, I'm a lot nicer.
-Okay, I've got others to catch. Stay put. -Go.
[footsteps departing]
[exhales sharply]
[inhales deeply, huffs]
I kept moving. I felt a lot better on my feet today.
I thought I fancied my chances, but I literally came to a dead end.
[exhales deeply]
He's good.
Okay, so that is one down.
-[gunshot echoes] -[bird caws]
That was a gunshot.
[birds squawking]
Time to head south
and hope that the other three are going round in circles,
tying themselves in knots.
We need to move fast. Okay, let's go.
[resonant pinging]
[Steph gasps] There it is. That's a fence. Yes.
Please let Bear not be at the top of that hill.
Having been lost in the woods, I see the fence.
[huffs]
Please let this be the right tool.
I've been carrying this sledgehammer around for ages,
not knowing whether it was a useful tool to me or not.
[gasps] Yes! It's this one!
You legend.
Right. Here I go.
[panting]
Any sign of Bear? Right.
[strained growl]
No… Bearie!
[bleep]
I was drenched in sweat.
[grunts]
I was so tired and hot.
[grunts]
[dramatic music building]
[grunts, pants]
[music fades]
-[pants] Yes! Yes! -[high-pitched horn blares]
[horn rings out]
[Bear] Ah. Someone's escaped.
[laughs triumphantly]
I just got out of the Bear Pit!
[sighing groan]
[breathes heavily]
Thank you. Thank you.
[sobbing chuckle]
Oh my God. It's so hard!
[breathless chuckling]
[voice breaks] I genuinely didn't think I could do it.
[panting]
[Holly] With Steph out, only Shirley and Kola remain in the pit.
And all that stands between them and the tool for the tunnel exit
is Bear.
[Kola] I'm out in the open.
I'm looking for a tool,
but the location was the hardest location in the entire map.
That's Shirley.
[tense, foreboding music plays]
[Shirley] I have felt a little bit underestimated
by one or two people in the group,
that they look at me like maybe their grandmother.
So I'd like to prove myself today by getting out.
I've just seen a flash of movement up there.
I don't wanna run into their path.
Okay, we're just gonna hide ourselves somewhere around here. Come with me.
[tense music pulsing]
[music abates]
[wind gusts]
Look at the Bear Pit. The Bear Pit is very, like… almost dark.
[Una] Yeah. I'd say it's tough in there today.
-Mother Bear Pit is giving scary. -[Joe] Yeah.
-[suspenseful music plays] -[ticking]
Okay, so if one of them comes this way,
I've got great visibility all the way down this path,
and I'll be amazed if they clock me here.
I've just got to be patient, but then also know when to move.
This person's got to cross the croc pool to get their tool.
So I'm gonna stay hidden, let them pass,
and once they're on the raft with nowhere to go, I'll pounce.
[suspenseful music building]
[music fades out]
[ominous music plays]
[music building]
[music abates]
[dramatic drum music plays]
[music fades out]
