This is my worst nightmare.
I'll quit. I'm over it.
I'm pissed, man. I'm boiling inside.
It's obvious everyone's
in it for themselves now.
12 strangers from across Britain
have arrived in South Africa.
Stripped of all creature comforts,
they're going to be tested
in the hostile environment
of the Eastern Cape.
Push!
It's cold!
As they embark on an unforgiving
18-day trek...
Oh, my God!
Oh!
SHE GRUNTS
My whole body hurts.
..to win a share of 300 grand
waiting at the finish line.
But standing between them
and the money...
..we've built a series of
incredible temptations.
Oh, my God!
From everyday treats to big luxuries
that will make their journey easier.
Guys, there's hot water! Oh!
But there's a catch.
They come with the world's
highest prices.
3,000 per double bed.
It's a lot.
For 3,500, I can have 19 parties.
And every pound they
spend will be deducted
from the shared prize pot.
This is absolute t*rture.
So if one person gives
into temptation,
everyone will pay for it.
You're spending everybody's money.
I am pissed off with you all.
We live in a world where we can get
what we want the second we want it.
So, can we put off our
immediate desires
for the sake of a longer term goal?
I'm not sleeping in a
three-grand bed.
I'm built different. I doubt it.
Would you give in to peer pressure?
I need something to get me
through this.
But you could do that outside of
this environment
and not spend other people's money.
Or temptation?
CHEERING
Welcome to the dark side.
LAUGHTER
PANTING
It's never-ending.
Previously on Tempting Fortune...
..12 strangers begin their epic trek
to win a share of £300,000.
Yes!
Come on!
CHEERING
And the team bonded as one.
Would that bother you,
if you were the leader?
No, not at all. That's good. Leader!
But as our fortune-seekers came
up against temptations...
No, darling, no!
I'm just smelling it, all right?
I'm just making sure it's fresh.
..a diner we built in the wilderness
proved too tempting for Lani...
OK, I want a milkshake.
The money you're spending
is not your money.
..and the group dynamic crumbled.
I'm now changing
towards Lani's stance.
If that comes up again,
I will be taking it.
Oh, my God.
Morning. Morning.
It's 6am in the Eastern Cape.
Nah, bro, I'm serious.
That was a bad, bad sleep.
To take home whatever's left
of the prize fund,
the group must reach a series
of checkpoints.
So, this morning, they're getting
ready for the next leg
of their challenging trek.
It's getting harder
day by day and more challenging.
Yesterday, the first time,
I realised it's actually possible
not to make it to the end.
So I'm nervous cos
I think it's getting tougher.
So far, Lani is the only one
to have given into temptation,
blowing £500 on a milkshake.
And if she, or anyone else
drops out,
it'll cost the group 25 grand.
I can't move.
I'm literally so tired.
The morale in camp is low
and the lower people feel,
the more open they are to anything
that can lift the mood.
A cup of coffee literally
would sort me out.
I know it would.
A three-shot iced vanilla latte.
Luxury to me is feeling clean,
like having a nice, hot bath,
doing my skin care
and getting into a clean bed.
My friends and family don't think
I can do this,
but I'm really excited to, like,
prove them wrong
and be like, "You know what?
I did it - 18 days."
I've had an epiphany over the last
two days and I've been like,
"It's a marathon, not a sprint."
We all need to help each other out.
And if I need something,
I think I'll probably take it.
Whose is that?
That's James'.
James, there's your food there.
I don't think that is mine.
The camp is very unorganised.
Who's got the tent?
Anybody?
Even though the boys are
the strongest,
the boys don't cook and clean.
It's just chaotic.
But which one of you boys
is taking your groundsheet?
It's like herding cats, children...
You know? Ugh.
James does not do anything
around the camp.
I'm not sure how he earned
the crown of leader.
I'm getting tired of people
barking orders.
Man, you know how many times I have
had to stop and help people...
Erm... ..who can't, like, carry
two cans of water?
James is a good leader
for the trek,
but then when it comes to camp,
he falls apart completely.
I feel let down by him.
And I think when you see your leader
just sitting down, demotivated,
some of us might think, "Hell,
I am going to take a temptation."
Guys, there was a towel
left on up there.
Who's missing a towel?
This was near the tap, guys.
All right, listen... Listen!
I am now raising my voice.
I am getting pissed off
with you all.
When we get to camp, we are all
going to sort our stuff out,
so we've all got the
right equipment.
And we keep it and we look after it.
Because this is ridiculous!
I think they need to realise, yeah,
who is physically stronger...
All the sh*t we do... I know.
Wash pots, doing everything,
and then they've got the
nerve to say to me,
"You guys got to do something."
You can't do everything, bro.
This is our breakfast and lunch?
Yeah.
It's the usual rations of rice
and beans for all their meals.
Just 1,000 calories a day.
Is the rations going down?
They just feel like they are.
We're just getting hungrier.
All right, guys. Ready for the map?
OVERLAPPING GRUMBLING
Oh, no.
I want to see a map
leading to Enfield.
LAUGHTER
Enfield, do you know...
We're going to go
through some bushland today,
but it looks like a long river.
You guys all know that me
and Tahira aren't swimmers, right?
OK. You're shark bait.
LAUGHTER
The group will face a backbreaking
four-hour journey
up the Kap River
on a raft to get to their next camp.
But if they want to avoid
all that hard work,
we've organised
a simple short cut to tempt them.
An easy footpath
along the river bank,
but it will cost
four grand per person.
They'll pace ahead.
They like to lead the way.
Look at him with his bloody stick.
James has taken on that role
of striding out. Yeah.
But we're all having to walk.
Yeah, this is true.
So when you get to camp and you go,
"Right, well, I was in front."
Yeah. "Excuse me,
we might have been behind,
"but we've all walked the same
distance." Yeah. Exactly. Exactly.
You know, as the leader,
I always kind of...
Like a king, sort of, you know?
You always want to lead your army
from the front,
never from the back,
cos it inspires and gives willpower.
In my mind, I'm a tough b*stard.
I can endure anything,
but I've never been challenged
to this extent.
I want to help people.
I want to be a leader.
I want them to look up to me
if they have questions,
and maybe it'll rub off
on some other people. Who knows?
This way. Group, are you good?
I'm great.
How could I not be, with you
leading the way, my brother?
Oh, I don't like this.
This is exactly where the snakes
are going to be.
Oh, no!
Can snakes climb trees?
Yes.
There is no way on Earth
a snake is going to come
anywhere near Lani.
The noise of that girl!
This is a bit scary!
Ahh!
LANI SHREIKS
Ugh. Oh, I want a double
cheeseburger.
What I need - a deep tissue massage.
And a beer.
Oh, guys, look. What's that ahead?
What is it?
It looks like something
a little tempting.
Easy route!
There's no such thing.
The Book Of Temptations
is stuffed with goodies
that the group may not
be able to resist.
All right. What have we got today?
So, "Take the easy route to avoid
rafting the bone-chilling waters."
Do we know how much it costs?
4,000.
Cor! No way. And that'll be each.
That's well expensive.
It must be awful.
If they all take it,
it will cost the group
nearly 50 grand.
Anybody? No, not for me.
No, not for me.
I'd like to take it,
but I'm not going to take it.
There's a difference.
I would like to take it, but I'm not
going to take it. Exactly.
Well, I don't like the water.
But, still not going to
take the easy route.
I have no choice.
I wish I could take
another temptation,
but the group would hate me.
Not for me.
And Lani's not allowed.
She's banned.
No easy route for us.
f*cking can't wait. Oh, my God.
Honestly, this is genuinely
worse than prison.
I've never been,
but in prison, you get...
You get chicken.
Its way better than this
f*cking sh*thole.
I'm not a swimmer,
so this is not going to
be the most fun thing
I'm going to do today.
There was definitely a temptation
for the easy route,
but we all looked at each other
and we were like, you know,
"We got this."
We can get through this.
Like, let's just stick together,
be a unit.
So, we're here to kick some
a*s, I guess.
No... Hey! It's one giant
makeshift raft. No.
This is the raft?
As the group have declined
the easy route,
they still have £299,500
of the shared prize fund -
if they make it to the finish line.
But now they face a four-hour
journey by raft
in treacherous waters.
It looks like somebody made it,
like, today -
with their f*cking hands.
Oh, whoa! Are you OK?
MUFFLED CHATTER
That is the most ridiculous thing
I've ever seen in my life.
That's a deathtrap.
I thought it was just the jetty
to get up to it,
and then I thought the real one
was going to be delivered
or driven to us.
How do we...
Do we know how we steer?
Not one of them
knows what the...they're doing.
Oh, God.
Do you steer it with the bamboo,
or do you steer...?
The bamboo is to... Like a udder.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Got you...
I don't know.
I thought it'd be punting.
Possibly. Yeah.
I'm going to organise from the
front like I always do.
It shouldn't be that difficult.
Bags.
As a leader, I look forward to it.
It's just another challenge
in the challenge book.
I've done this before.
Not in South Africa,
but I've done this before.
I've done rafting.
He has not once asked,
"Does anyone know how to do this?"
I am so pissed.
Let's go, man.
Guys, I'm really sorry here.
But, James, you have not
asked any of us,
have we done this before?
I have actually done this before,
and you've not asked me.
You have to sort it before
you get on.
Who's the strongest?
Who's doing the paddling?
Who's doing the punting?
You sort it out now before we start.
Nana, you should have said...
You should have said something.
..before, like... But you need to...
But James is the leader. I wanted...
Yeah, you could have said something,
though. But OK, Nana, OK.
And for the record, I have done
something similar to this.
Just for the record. Brilliant.
It's just not with 12 people.
Carolynne is very boisterous
in her opinions,
sometimes too much so.
She would like to be the leader
of this group.
That's 100% clear to me.
She never will be.
She's more of a show-off.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
If she continues to act
the way she does,
I can no longer use my positive
energy and waste my time
on someone who's so destructive.
She's on her last leg with me.
I'm just putting my life jacket on.
12 strangers are on
an 18-day trek across South Africa
to win a share of £300,000.
The more temptations they can
resist,
the more money they'll take home.
So far, they've spent only £500
and have just turned
down a short cut temptation.
Now they face a four-hour river raft
through treacherous waters
that will push them to their limit.
Make sure to...
SPLASH!
Whoa! You OK? Whoo!
Got you, got you!
He's been eaten by a hippo.
Oh, my...
GRUNTING
You need to bring it slightly
towards James.
You've got to have it in the middle.
JAMES: Nana, let me have
a word with you real quick.
That whole speech was
too much for me.
I don't know what happened
with you to call me out like that.
OK? Can I...
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, let me finish.
Before we even started, you waited
till everyone was on the boat,
and then you went off on a rant.
I did not appreciate that at all.
If you'd have said to me,
"James, I've done it before."
I'd have said, "OK, let Nana
guide us through this
"cos she's done it before."
That's the kind of leader I am.
I'm not a dictator.
So, from here on out, if there is
an issue, just come to me. OK. OK.
When we started this experiment,
I thought James was going
to be an exceptional leader.
Now? No.
James's leadership skill is
very dictatorial.
It's almost like, "Do as I say
and don't question it."
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We can't do it like that.
His leadership skills are going
down and down and down.
Is Jack on? Are you OK? Is Jack on?
Everyone's on. Are we loose?
Everyone's on. All right.
Come on! You ready? On three.
One, two, three.
TOGETHER: Row, row.
Straighten up.
Right, now start going forward.
Row.
Question - at what point is
this sinking too much?
Yes, double time.
Double time.
f*cking hell, this is hard.
Are you ready for your paddle?
Don't drop it. Yeah.
Make sure... Nana, you gotta...
Can you watch her? Yeah.
LANI GRUNTS
Am I doing anything?
You are, you are.
But you need to press it right in.
LANI GRUNTS
That's it.
LANI GRUNTS
I'm glad Lani has an orgasm
every time she does something.
LANI PANTS
OK, I tried.
Got to move quick.
Come on, guys, get it in deep!
James - flat, in like that.
Nana. Yeah? I've done this
several times, OK?
OK. I got it. It's just...
I know.
You worry about you. I got it.
I feel there's two leaders.
James does a bit from the front
and Carolynne's doing a bit
from the back.
Carolynne, I think
she just wanted to still try
and prove she's had
a bit of experience.
CAROLYNNE: Guys?
I'm going to go one, two.
So, if we do it all together,
that's all of us, we'll go faster.
JAMES: Come on, let's go, let's go.
Go! One, two.
Push, push!
Look at what's over on that shore.
Shut up,
that's going to be a temptation.
Oh, God.
CAROLYNNE: This, actually,
might be worth taking,
if it's not too
expensive for all of us.
It's definitely catching up with me.
BELL RINGS
Having rowed for over two hours
and resisting the short cut, we've
now got something even more tempting
waiting for them at the river bank.
I'm not taking it. We're going to be
on the raft all night, bro.
If it's just us
three on the raft, boom, bro.
So, what do you think we should do?
I'm not taking no canoe,
that means I have to buy something,
that means I've lost.
So, we on it, baby. Yeah. My boy.
Whatever you say, Guru.
We have to go for it,
there's no other option.
But will everyone else be able to
resist the Book Of Temptations?
The porter service -
here to make your journey a little
bit more comfortable today.
Six canoes are on offer
for the next part of your expedition
up the Kap River.
The porter is available to take
all your bags so you can
ease into the rest of your day.
This is a package deal for
the whole group.
To make the purchase, you need
to have a majority decision.
Four grand!
OK, so, it's majority, so,
what are we thinking?
Absolutely not. Ash?
Jack? No.
You? No.
Dan? Nah.
Charl? No.
Michelle? No.
Nana? Seeing what the
reeds are like, I would take that.
Lani? OK... Well, there's already
too many noes anyway.
Already too many noes, right,
so we're not taking it.
Four grand for all of us is
not too bad.
But, you know, what do I know?
I feel like the boys don't want to
get any help ever,
so they'd rather struggle
and be eaten by a hippopotamus
before they get help.
Let's go, guys.
Which is the front? This one? Yeah.
Outside of the experiment, 100%,
those canoes would be the right
thing to do.
There'll be more arguing,
anger and frustration,
but it's what we've chosen to do.
The vote is decided.
Careful, careful!
Gosh.
Bloody hell, Tahira.
To me, that was a no-brainer.
That's well worth £4,000
for all of us.
James had already made
the decision that it was going to be
a majority that was going to say no.
For the ones that have never rafted,
they have no idea
what they're coming up to.
JAMES: Yeah, baby!
Having resisted the temptation...
Oh, sh*t, look what's ahead.
..they now how to overcome
half a mile of six-foot high
reedbeds blocking their route.
In the blazing 30 degree sun.
Right, punters,
you need to watch now.
Because there's reeds here,
it will be shallower.
Aargh!
Lani... I'm trying!
Lani, Lani. Yeah?
If you didn't do so much sound
effects, you'd put the energy...
They help me!
This is just going to be like this
the whole way, isn't it?
JAMES: Yeah, it's nasty,
thick sh*t, man.
You got to move quick,
got to move quick.
Because we don't really
want to get caught. Ready to go.
Row!
Speed up, let's see how fast
we can make this thing go.
Put a motor on it.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Gah, wait.
We can probably push off that.
Keep calm, keep calm, keep calm.
Oh, sh*t.
This is caught. Wait, this is
caught. Don't stop, keep going.
I'm caught on the rope. I'm caught.
Gah!
Michelle, Michelle.
I'm caught on the f*cking rope,
guys. I know, I know, I'm sorry.
Michelle, just switch, yeah?
It's all right.
Canoes, that is what you need to go
through these reeds.
I really do think that
this would have been
an ideal opportunity
to take the temptation.
We literally can't go anywhere.
Can you use the oar
to push off of the edge?
There's no edge, really.
Hack it, Trewley!
Just plants.
JAMES: There you go, you did
a good job. There you go.
CAROLYNNE: Careful, careful.
Hold her.
Everybody, backwards paddle.
We're obviously f*cking stuck.
The wood bit of the raft is stuck.
CAROLYNNE: We need to go
back to go forward.
Can we just try one thing?
Can we just keep putting
the bamboo-y thing in there and,
as it pushes forward,
these guys will help to steer?
Tahira, have you done punting?
Carolynne just jumps in,
says to do something
and then there's other people around
who can help.
Listen, I know I've not
done this in my life,
but I would hope I've got a little
brain which works sometimes, OK?
Guys, stop arguing, please.
I'm not, I'm making a suggestion.
Pass it here quick.
Just pass it and I'll push it.
There you go.
Three, two, one.
Good work. That's it.
That's it, that's it.
Now we're on our way.
CHEERING
That's it, that's it!
I can't see any more! Amazing!
CHEERING
You guys are beasts!
I think in life, in general,
I'm someone who stops
myself from doing things.
But now,
I'm not going to do that any more.
I've gone down on a raft
through horrible weeds.
Everything feels a lot
more possible now.
I feel like it's helped me
overcome a lot of that self-doubt.
Well done, guys!
Guys, we did the river!
CHEERING
Being on that raft has been
a mix of emotion, from happy that
I can stand up and do something to
angry that I'm not being heard.
Look, there's steps up there.
CHEERING
We made it!
In situations like that, too many
chefs will just mess up the broth.
But at the end of the day,
we made it.
When I sit down tonight, I'm going
to look back on this and be like,
"Man, I did it without the canoe."
I think we're just going to
have to get in.
Ah, ah!
That is gross!
Think about that, that
was 4,000 we just saved. Yep.
We persevered,
we came back stronger and we worked.
It was, like, awful.
I did the least today.
You know, on the raft, the boys did
most of the stuff, I did the least,
so I can't even confide in people.
They'll just think I'm weak.
If I had to do this
for the rest of my life,
I would literally, like,
end my life.
I'd jump into the river
and let a hippo eat me.
Peer pressure is
massive in a big group
and it's easier to spend
when no-one's watching.
So, we've set up some secret
temptations to see what they'll do.
f*cking hell, get this bag off me.
My shoulders are k*lling me.
With their checkpoint reached,
each person is about to be offered
tonight's private temptation.
Apart from Lani
and her £500 milkshake,
no-one has had any sugar for five
days and no-one has spent the cash.
So, will someone's resistance
finally crack at this £400,
fully loaded hot chocolate with
marshmallows and flake?
Even if it's 160 times more
expensive than back home?
What is it?
Oh, no!
Oh!
Hot chocolate.
HE LAUGHS
Oh...
What do I do, what do I do?!
400, are you kidding?
Oh, my God, I want this so bad.
It's very expensive.
Do I want it, do I want it,
do I want it?
I need to smell it.
Oh, my gosh.
Gah!
Goodbye.
Bye-bye, hot chocolate.
Oh, my God.
If the group resist the
hot chocolate,
the prize fund will
stay at £299,500.
I really want this but...
..I think I'm going to skip.
Oh! This sucks, gah!
Ah, f*ck.
The prize fund remains intact.
Or maybe I spoke too soon.
I haven't had a treat since
the milkshake. It's been a while!
So far in the experiment, only
Lani has succumbed to temptation,
her two drinks costing
the group £900.
Not that the group are aware of her
latest costly splurge.
I feel a little bit guilty,
but I feel like it was
a well-deserved treat
for all the walking I've done.
Did everyone go for a little
walk along the beach?
Yeah, it was a secret temptation.
It came in the form of
a hot chocolate!
So, did anyone take it?
Of course not. No.
I was close. Did you...?
I picked it up and I sniffed it.
I was like, ah...
I picked it up. Did you pick it up?
And sniffed it.
I don't think anyone in the team
would ever take the hot chocolate.
But at the end of the day,
I can just pretend I didn't as well.
What do you guys think of the fact
that some of the temptations
are in secret?
We could be lying. One of us
could literally be chatting sh*t.
And if we are, somebody's
acting is very good.
I think the closer we get,
the more we don't want to disappoint
each other. Yeah. Yeah.
I thought about all you guys,
looking at the hot chocolate...
Same, same. ..and I said, my
team-mates would be so disappointed,
it's not even an option.
To be fair, I ummed and ahhed about
whether Lani might have taken it.
I give you the right to punch me in
the face if I did that!
At the end of the day, guys,
we can have loads of hot chocolate
when we finish. Absolutely. Ah!
Who's this b*tch and what
have you done with Lani?!
Yay!
If they're not going to find out,
then it doesn't matter.
What you don't know don't hurt you.
SHE LAUGHS
Dude, last night was awful. Awful.
It's day six of their 18-day
trek to a fortune.
So far, they've only spent
£900 of the 300 grand prize fund.
As the group face another
day of roughing it in the wilderness
and resisting temptations,
the rice and beans
rations are taking their toll.
I've woken up this morning feeling
very ill.
Ill? Have you been yet?
No. Really? No.
I'm getting quite worried.
I have not been to the toilet
now in six days.
I think it's the rice and beans,
but I've let
everyone in the camp know,
everyone is very much aware
of my situation
and I will not stop talking about it
until my medical issue resolves.
Dah-dah-dah!
Rice, and beans. Breakfast!
Rice and beans.
How's everybody feeling
this morning?
Not good.
He's the one I'm worried about.
You're actually looking unwell.
It's all right. No, I know,
but it's not good. It's ghastly.
Is it, like,
physically or mentally? Both.
Lani, you were speaking the other
day about stuff along the way
to make it easier. I'm more and more
seeing what you were talking about.
Yeah, a pick-me-up.
Because I'm, like, low today.
I think people will
break in the next 12 days.
I think it's going to get really
intense now.
I notice you're looking at me,
yeah? No, no, no, no.
Yeah, it's fine.
You're the first one,
so I'm saying
I reckon more people will now.
sh*t, someone's coming.
With the camp at rock-bottom,
we've to designed something to help,
in the form of
an expensive temptation.
I would like the following people -
Jack, Michelle,
Dan, Lani...
..Charlie and Carolynne -
to put on their swimwear
and meet me here.
Those struggling the most are up
to face a revitalising
temptation first.
A luxury spa that we've created.
In the UK, each year,
we spend £7.1 billion on pampering.
This experience comes complete
with waterfall showers,
a hot tub and fruit,
which might get things
moving for Jack.
Hello.
Woohoo!
Oh, my goodness.
Don't to anything I wouldn't do! OK!
Do you think any of them
will take the temptation? No.
Having turned down the Winnebago,
can they resist their next
challenge?
I hope there's food at your spa,
I'm starving.
I wonder if they come back
straight away, if they refuse it?
I'm glad they took them as a group.
Yeah.
But we don't know
they won't separate them up.
True, but I still feel like that
collective energy
is going to help them.
It's a solid group right here.
I mean, we're all solid, but this is
the solid within the solid.
Can you all take a robe?
Take a robe.
Oh, my God, it's so soft.
Woohoo! Woo!
Oh, I can them all screaming. Yeah.
Sounds good.
Something clean!
Been a while since I felt
something soft.
Oh, no, there's fresh fruit.
Oh! And champagne!
And it's pink! A jacuzzi!
Smells lovely in here.
Hello. Hello. How are you?
Good, thanks. How are you?
Erm...
I'm in a dilemma.
I don't know how I am.
Oh, mate.
Oh, I knew there was gonna be
a hot tub.
Guys. Guys...
There's hot water!
Oh, man!
This is so hard.
I'm worried about what
Lani might do.
I'm not.
I love it!
I'm not a complicated b*tch.
She said last night that
she has to rein it in.
Famous last words.
Let's see when they come back.
I don't think anyone will take it.
No.
The beach group can't leave
for their next checkpoint
until the spa group return.
But will the Book Of Temptations
present an offer too good to resist?
A three-hour relaxation pass.
The spa will give you access
to all facilities,
including rainforest showers,
open air jacuzzi,
relaxation space, plus a
complimentary glass of bubbly.
The spa package is available
for £1,000 per person.
That's a bargain.
That IS a bargain.
Or treat yourself to a complete
indulgence package that includes
a revitalising massage,
or a rejuvenating facial,
plus the gift of your favourite
make-up will be included with you
to take away with you. Oh!
The complete indulgence package
is 1,500 per person.
I could get my make-up!
Ah...! Oh, my God...!
What's everyone thinking?
Three hours for a grand.
Yeah. You guys talk.
That's way less than I thought
it would be.
The experiment's got to try harder
than this to get me to fold
like that. So, you're a no?
Yeah, I'm a no, man. I'm out.
OK. I hate spas.
So this to me is an easy one for me.
You're doing no. I'm not taking it.
And that's not because of you. Yeah,
but give me some of that there.
I like that. But it's because
I do not enjoy this.
Listen, all I'm saying is, if you
take it, expect the others to start
taking things for themselves, too.
If anyone took it, I would be
gutted.Yeah, bloody pissed.
These are just once.
No-one NEEDS this stuff.
I need the fruit. The fruit,
for me, is worth 1,000.
Do you want or need it?
I want it.
This is my, like,
downest day so far.
I feel so selfish.
Lani, I'm gonna say you're going
for the 1,500, girl?
Think what you want to do.
I think I'll take it.
I'll take the 1,000.
Yeah, the 1,000 one.
You fold, it's done.
No, it isn't. Charlie... Charlie,
that's not helpful. Leave her.
Let her make her own decision.
Yeah, I am. I'm just saying.
Don't put peer pressure on her.
I'm just saying.
I need to, like, process
this mentally.
I just don't want to let down
the group.
I feel like their
collective energy...
Yeah, I agree with you.
..is gonna help them. Yeah, we are
quite united as a group.
I think they're too far in to take
a temptation based on beauty,
when we're gonna...
We're out here in the jungle. Yeah.
And I know what you're saying,
Charlie. It's like...
Yeah, this is just going to falter,
and everybody's just gonna be like,
"Well, eff this, I'm gonna do this
and I'm gonna do that."
But I'm just thinking,
because it is only a grand...
I've just watched you all crumble.
You're all crumbling.
Weak. And it's cool.
If you view weakness as going back
down to camp, then fine...
Are you OK, bro? Shush!
I'm not gonna do it.
I'm not gonna do it. OK, cool.
So, you three are taking it.
Have an enjoyable time.
Game's changed now. Like, guys...
You know what I mean?
Charlie, shut up. It's not folding.
Don't tell me to shut up, mate.
You folded early on.
Charlie... It's like bullying
people. I'm not bullying.
Don't accuse me of bullying. Stop
forcing people to think like you.
I'm not... We're all individuals,
we can do what we want.
You've all decided to play the game,
and this is the game.
So don't accuse me of bullying. Stop
telling us what decisions to make.
I'm not. I'm just saying...
Saying that it's weak,
saying all of this,
saying that we've folded.
That's what you've done, though.
You've folded.
No, we've folded your game.
The game is about avoiding
temptations. No, it's not!
No, it's not. Yes, it is!
It's about getting through
the 18 days, for me.
Exactly! And avoiding temptations.
I want to stay. Then, stay.
If you want to stay, stay.
I just feel like everybody's
gonna hate me. No, they won't.
LANI: Why do you always put other
people before yourself?
You can treat yourself one time.
I think it's self-love to think
of yourself.
Michelle, you won't get
through the 18 days
if you're constantly sacrificing
other people before yourself. Yes!
All right, I'm gonna stay.
They've now spent almost £5,000 of
the group's money in five minutes.
Here you go. Enjoy it.
Hey, come here, come here.
Why are am I, like, crying?
All right, kids, have a great time.
It's OK, it's OK.
Just this little treat
will help them.
Let them enjoy it.
I never have nice things, like,
happen for me, ever.
Their strength just went.
Their willpower just went.
There's a domino effect.
When one person that hasn't
taken before takes,
then the other person thinks,
"Yo, I'm going to take."
Charlie just looked at me,
and he just smiled and laughed
and walked away.
His reaction made me feel devastated
because, obviously,
I did say no in the beginning.
And I just promised myself,
or said to myself,
"It's one and done."
One temptation, and done.
This fruit, for me,
is worth three grand. I know.
I haven't shat in six days.
Charlie's angry, though.
I think a lot of it was
peer pressure.
CHARLIE: May I tell them?
Of course you can.
Four of the group have
blown thousands
on a luxury spa temptation.
But in this experiment,
the money comes out of
their shared prize fund.
Four and a half grand may have
bought them a fabulous
three-hour spa experience...
..but if they'd waited
another two weeks,
they could have each bought a spa
membership for an entire year
with that money.
Guys, they're back.
What happened?
We were all just offered
a spa treatment and a massage.
That was a bunch of fruit,
orange juice, a jacuzzi.
No way. Erm...
Lani, Jack, Dan and Michelle
have taken the offer. Shut up.
It was 1,000 each.
But Lani also managed to get her
make-up, which was an extra 500.
So, 4,500.
Four and a half grand? 4,000.
It is what it is.
I said this morning - I knew it,
I knew the cracks were showing.
One person has taken ALL
the temptations.
£1,000 divided by 12.
So, it's about...£90.
So, what they've done up there
has cost me...
..between £300-£400
out of my personal pocket.
And that's a lot of money for me.
That's a lot of money for me.
All that sh*t they was talking.
Michelle - it was really upsetting
to see that, but she was as well.
She was crying...
She was talking so much stuff.
I know, bro... Her and f*cking Dan.
To add fuel to the fire,
the beach group have to wait
for the spa takers to return
before they can head to their
next checkpoint.
THEY SQUEAL
Guys!
Welcome to the dark side!
You massive b*tch!
This was your plan all along.
Michelle, I'm proud of you.
I'm not.
They're all gonna absolutely hate
me. They won't, they won't. No.
I'm gonna feel the wrath of James.
And I let him down. Nope.
He knows what he wants to do.
Doesn't mean we all want to do it.
It's a democracy.
Charlie calling us weak, as well.
He's weak because he's James'
little puppet.
Ooh!
He's literally in James'... He is!
CHARLIE: Lani called me a bully,
and I said, "Don't accuse me of
bullying." I can see all that
happening to you, bro.
Yeah, she's the victim now, innit?
I'm proud of you, though, brother,
that you didn't fold into their
pressure. Yeah, well done.
No, bro. Come on, bro.
Cos that's what happens.
Group mentality sometimes
can make you fold
against your own true nature.
See, that shows how strong you are.
I was never taking that, bro.
I've been waiting for this
for six days now,
and this feels like a dream.
Are we sure they don't need any?
I really don't think they're gonna
begrudge if we have theirs.
Mate, I don't give a f*ck.
Are you mad?
Well, cheers. Cheers.
And just when it seems life couldn't
get any rosier at the spa,
there's more good news.
I pooed. I pooed.
I think it was just...
I'm so happy for you.
I know. I think it was just
the relaxation and just...
..the whole process. I've absolutely
stuffed myself with fruit,
and I feel ten times better
than I did this morning.
Mm.
If you get right in there,
that'd be great. Thank you.
Lani's 40-minute massage
cost the group £500.
Oh, yeah. That feels great, babes.
Yeah, the pressure is good.
JAMES: I'm done with Lani.
She has no concern for
any of us, man.
None.
Oh, it's a bit hard.
My legs are sore from walking.
Oh. Feels fantastic.
Don't even say Lani's name to me.
Trust me. And you know how I am.
I know, bro.
Charlie is in James',
like, bumhole.
He's not his own man.
He wanted to be here, and if
he had his own ba*ls and guts,
he would be here with us.
But he wants to be like James.
It's a bit pathetic to be
a follower.
In my life, I'm a leader.
I'm not a sheep.
Lani's got her wish.
We're all on the dark side.
I think you all knew,
I was struggling.
I was just like,
no, I can't do this.
I have to go for the team. I have to
go. And me and Jack today, as well.
Yeah. Me and Jack have been
struggling today.
I just don't want people
thinking I'm a fake.
The reality of our situation is
that, like, this is hard.
This is the toughest thing
I've ever done.
My mentality now is, we've been
through hell this week.
It's one day.
After this, I'm just going
to keep going.
And on with the treks, I guess.
Whoo!
Hello, darling.
Hi, guys! Welcome back.
Whee!
THEY LAUGH
I really needed this.
What are you feeling about
going back?
I mean, it is what it is,
do you know what I mean?
It's the name of the game.
I don't know what people expected.
I'm scared.
That's how I feel. Like...
People have to be realistic.
I know you're scared.
I feel like I let people down,
and people won't trust me as much.
I think James will be most
disappointed.
I'm pissed as f*ck, man.
I'm boiling inside. Yeah.
It just shows how fake
them f*ck are.
I'm really not looking forward
to going back and...
Yeah.
Oh, I don't want to go first.
I think people are gonna want to
know why we needed this right now.
But I'm happy to own it.
Like, I don't regret taking it
because, actually,
I felt like I needed it
in that moment.
We're standing strong for what?
But you guys are gonna have the
same amount of money as I have,
but you've got different
experiences. What the f*ck? Right.
That's what's not fair.
When the guys come back in the camp,
I'm a little bit nervous about
what's going to happen.
Actually, I feel nervous for them.
This is the pit of fire.
LANI: Don't sound guilty.
Don't be a p*ssy.
Oh, my God. They've got
dressing gowns, too.
Gonna be tough not to turn
into the beast.
Hi!
Now that you're back,
I want to clear up one thing.
I don't like, Lani,
saying that it's bullying
when I'm telling someone
not to quit.
But you were saying it in
a bit of an aggressive...
I wasn't. It wasn't aggressive.
I just said don't fold.
OK. It wasn't aggressive.
Also, Charlie, I don't think
it's fair for you
to call people weak. You're right.
And it's the same thing.
I don't want to be called a bully.
Fair enough.
I was more shocked at Michelle,
to be honest.
I probably let everybody down.
But I have a really bad back.
I've had back surgery.
I have had my spine fused, right?
JAMES GRUMBLES
And I'm sorry. The tub,
it really helps with the aches.
But I just figured it was
once in a lifetime.
Try to enjoy it while I'm here,
because I knew the rest of the time,
I probably wouldn't take
a temptation.
And I did cry initially,
because I was thinking about...
JAMES: Can't even look at them.
Mm-hm.
..and everybody, you know,
and their situation.
So, if I let you down,
I do apologise.
I think people need to understand
the sacrifices people have given
to be here, the sacrifices
they're doing while they're here,
and also the impact this...
Anything is gonna make.
NANA: James, Luke, are you wanting
to say anything?
I will say a couple of things.
Michelle...
..it surprised me because
I thought you were OK.
So, obviously,
I'm a little disappointed.
Lani, I don't know where
it's gonna stop with you.
I just think it's gonna keep
going on and going on.
It's obvious everyone's in it
for themselves now.
That's what it is.
Do what you want to do.
Spend as much money as you want.
Some people need it
more than others and... No, no, no.
What do you mean, mate?
I don't think it's about being
in it for yourself.
If people are ridiculous,
obviously we're all gonna have
a problem with this.
You've spent 4.5K on a spa.
What are you talking about?
There's loads of stuff that
we could have taken along the way
and could have taken the piss,
and I don't see this as that.
And if you disagree, fine.
We know that's not who you are. No.
Well, we don't know. This is the...
This is the whole thing.
Like, we actually don't know
what people are gonna do.
Next time on Tempting Fortune...
Oh!
Oh! It's cold!
Wait up. Guys!
It's becoming like an excuse now.
Can the stronger ones help
the weaker ones?
With a clear split in their
levels of willpower,
we divide the group into two.
We have our own camp? Yay!
Bring on the temptations!
We are unbreakable.
THEY HOWL
To failure.
The biggest battle is coming
in these next few days.
