Episode 13 Escape from Scorpion Island

Last time on Scorpion Island,

Natty and James chose their new team mates and Sting and Claw were born.

We are now Team Claw. THEY CHEER

ALL: Who are we?! Sting! Who are we?! Sting!

The teams took on the toughest challenge the island has ever

unleashed on the adventurers.

After a hard-fought battle, Sting won the island treasure

and then doubled their lead.

Now captain for Claw, Eleanor, faces the toughest battle

she has ever had, to bring it back for her team.

I would really like to wipe the smiles off Sting's faces.

But captain Jeremy is determined to cement Sting's lead.

I am going to lead them to victory. Not Claw, obviously.

The Sting and Claw rivalry is about to reach boiling point.

Friendship today.

-Not tomorrow.

-Deal.

Let battle commence on Scorpion Island.

-Hello and welcome to Scorpion Island. I'm Myleene.

-And I'm Jony.

It may look like a tropical paradise here, but the island is out

to cause mischief for anyone who decides to visit.

There are two teams on the island who are determined to escape

its clutches and, believe me, they have had a tough ride of it so far.

Scorpion Island relishes in its splendid isolation

and uses its natural world as its impenetrable defence system.

The island is teeming with life, its precious treasure.

In recent times, an adventurer came from far across the seas.

He was a fortune hunter, whose mission it was to plunder

the island of its legendary treasure.

He took on the island's challenges and succeeded,

but when he failed in his final escape,

the furious island mischievously caught the fortune hunter's spirit

and locked it away.

Now, ten adventurers must follow the path he created.

Their mission - to escape the island.

Sting and Claw must battle it out in terrifying challenges

and the victors will win an island treasure.

The more that they win, the greater advantage

they will have in the final race to escape.

The adventurers are about to find out who today's captains are going

to be and little do they know that two former friends

will become scorpion rivals.

It's time to announce the team captains

for tomorrow's island challenge.

Congratulations, Eleanor and Jeremy.

You guys are going to captain your team. How does that feel?

-Great.

-Are you ready to carry on Sting's winning streak?

-Oh, yeah!

No, won't happen.

-No, girlfriend!

-THEY LAUGH

Eleanor, Jeremy, you were on the same team not long ago

and now its rivalry. How do you think you are going to beat Jeremy?

I am going to beat her, obviously. How dare you question my winning?

I'll win by communication and team work.

The bad thing about it is they used to be really, really good

friends on the team and stuck together and now they are...

-Battle partners!

-Now it's time to find out who is going

to compete in the second round of the island challenge.

-Everyone.

-THEY LAUGH

After your team captains have gone head to head,

everyone will then face each other

in the second round of the challenge.

Jeremy...and Eleanor will face each other as the new

team captains of Sting and Claw.

-Friendship today, not tomorrow.

-Deal.

When Jeremy and Eleanor were in the girls' team,

they were the firmest of friends.

There was a little bit of tension between me

and Eleanor, because when we started out

we were really good friends

and girls versus boys just added to that friendship

and once we got split into Sting and Claw, we started to discuss

what teams we would like to be in.

-I would like Sting.

-I would like Claw.

See we're enemies already and see what it's doing to us,

because we started bonding properly and we made this camp ours

and then, boom, we have suddenly been told we are going to Sting and Claw.

But the island has placed them in an impossible situation

and these two friends must now face each other as rivals.

We are good friends and I like beating friends.

I don't know why, but I want to wipe the smile off her face.

I am going to lead them to victory.

-Not Claw, obviously.

-Not Sting.

-Not Claw!

Your imagination is good, so just keep imagining you are going to win.

But the girls need to turn their words into action

when they took on the island, just as the fortune hunter did

all those years ago.

Now he's helping Sting and Claw on their journey.

He knows only the very best can escape this treacherous island

and free his spirit, and has left a system of clues in a symbol ring

to help them on their way.

But the island, always furious that the fortune hunter is

attempting to help Sting and Claw, has smashed the ring into pieces

and now Eleanor and Jeremy, with their team mates, must attempt

to piece the symbol ring together again in the fastest time.

Time starts now.

-Khadie, how much do you remember?

-Remember, eight pieces here now.

Four pieces will not fit.

Only four pieces will make the ring complete.

Jeremy and Eleanor are both on a mission to beat each other.

Driving their team mates on, the captains have one goal.

To win the right to play for the fortune hunter's

island challenge advantage.

Finished! Wow! That seems pretty quick, guys.

Well done.

Sting, lead by a determined Jeremy,

may have mastered the fortune hunter's puzzle.

Now, she must lead her team through to the next stage.

The symbol ring has been placed on the code wheel.

Each symbol relates to a letter of the alphabet.

The fortune hunter has left a coded message on the board.

It's a sentence that reveals a five-letter word.

There are four parts of the sentence to decode and, for each part,

a letter must be locked with a symbol to decipher the message.

If Sting can identify the word correctly,

they will earn the right to open the fortune hunter's old rusty

filing cabinet and win his island challenge advantage.

Khadie and Jeremy, welcome to the fortune hunter's code-cracker wheel.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Your five minutes starts now.

OK. Tell me the code.

The message is in four parts and first Jeremy must lock the G

with the triangle symbol to uncover the first section.

Cactus. T.

-That fish thing!

-Yeah, the cactus. Keep it still, keep it still.

Move it back to T, move it back to T, move it back to T.

And the fish is O.

-This one, this one.

-No, the... Next to the shell!

-You mean this one?!

-Yeah.

-That's W.

Is it on the right? Snake, snake.

This one... It's I.

The cloud... Oh, it's N.

OK, S=F.

-There's a sign here.

-Khadie has moved onto the next part,

but first Jeremy must lock the Zigzag symbol to the letter F.

OK, the triangle with the circle on top of it.

-This one?

-Yes.

-W.

OK, swap with me.

-Lightening is R.

-Yeah.

The symbol thing!

The cactus is I.

No, it's T!

No, we're on a different one.

The pyramid is T. The black square is E.

Jeremy moves onto the next section.

The monkey symbol must lock to the letter K.

Right-angled triangle.

-R.

-Black square.

-A.

This lip with a small line in the middle.

-Come on, Khadie we're nearly finished.

-C! D! D!

-D?!

D, wait.

-Come on, Khadie.

-Yeah, it's D, D.

-And the black square again is A?

-Yeah!

Radar and right-angled triangle... Ah!

Radar! Then this shell equals U.

Now the spiral shell symbol must lock to the letter U.

-That's S!

-No, horizon!

-T.

-Sun!

-Sun!

-O.

-Right-angled triangle.

-D!

Oh, no. Instead of a D Jeremy has written a P.

OK. That was A.

-A! Horn!

-Pardon?

-The horn! Look!

-U!

But they have got the last letter wrong, as we know

the spiral shell symbol is a U.

No, no wait that one is...

That one is a Y.

They have got the fortune hunter's message,

but the seconds are fading fast.

Will they get the word

needed to win the fortune hunter's advantage?

To win today, write radar. Radar.

Sting have done it, with an impressive

one minute and 32 seconds to spare.

Congratulations, guys, you've got it. Radar, that's right. Well done!

Eleanor and Jeremy are about to take each other on in the first

round of the island challenge, Double Crossing.

This is a game of strength and balance,

as they will each have to gather as many rusty cogs as possible

at one end of a precarious runway, whilst the opposition will attempt

to knock them off with huge boulders.

But first, Team Sting are about

to find out what their island challenge advantage is

from the fortune hunter.

The filing cabinet is one of the fortune hunter's relics.

It materialises when a team has deciphered its code and Sting's

winning word, radar, from the code cracker earlier, has unlocked it.

"Congratulations for winning my island challenge advantage.

"I want you to defeat the island.

"Your team rival must start the challenge with nothing

"and you will start with one rusty cog.

"All will be revealed later."

You have got the advantage, but will that make all the difference?

We will find out in today's island challenge - Double Crossing.

The seventh island treasure to be won is the Venus fly trap.

Beautiful, but deadly.

The Venus fly trap represents the manipulative island

employing trickery at every turn.

In round one, the island makes the teams' captains go head to head

to try to win the advantage for their team mates

when they compete for the latest island treasure in round two.

So Claw's captain, Eleanor, is going to be battling

Sting's captain, Jeremy.

This is the first time they will be representing their new teams

but we have seen them giving it their all

in the boys versus girls challenges.

Eleanor was the girl's motivational power house,

driving her team mates on in the toughest of conditions.

Yes, Lizzie, you are doing amazing. Lizzie, you are brilliant.

Can she push herself onto victory?

Jeremy has already taken on her fear of water and come out on top.

Come on, guys, faster, go, go, go.

But today is going to be the greatest test of her bravery yet.

Can she rise above her fears here?

So these are two ultra-determined captains

and this will be a hard-fought challenge, because both

really want their team to have the advantage in round two.

And to win it for them, this is what the captains will have to take on.

This is Double Crossing.

Two parallel tracks stretched across one of the

iciest lakes on the island.

One is a super-slippery runway

and one captain will be on it collecting cogs,

delivering them across and tying them onto the cable at the far end,

which would all be fine if these cogs didn't start off attached

to the giant boulders that the other captain is swinging

right at her opponent from the more stable crossing.

Jeremy and Eleanor will both take turns in delivering the cogs

and swinging the boulders and whoever manages to get more cogs

tied on before the six minute clock runs out, wins.

If a cog goes in the water before it reaches the end of the runway,

it's out of play. And if a captain slips or is knocked in,

then she has to swim back to the start of the runway,

which will really waste precious seconds.

Because Sting won the code cracker, Jeremy has the advantage here.

She starts her delivery turn with an extra cog already tied on,

meaning she has the potential to score more than Eleanor.

But she is going to have to move ultra-fast

to get all eight delivered in time.

At stake here, is an advantage for the victorious captain's side

in round two, when the teams battle it out for the latest

all-important island treasure.

And you know that these great rivals are absolutely going to throw

themselves into trying to win it.

So, first up delivering cogs is Eleanor for Claw,

while Jeremy swings the boulders for Sting.

-Girls are you ready?

-Ready!

This is going to be interesting.

Three, two, one, go!

And they're off and Jeremy is unknotting the boulder while

Eleanor is getting some terrific encouragement from her team mates.

Oh, no, a miss! Eleanor's crawling works for her here

but could it prove too time consuming a tactic?

Every second is precious here and as the cogs here are tied

to the boulders, she can't afford to dodge to far out of the way, either.

Eleanor's got it and she is untying the first cog.

But she's got to take it to the other end of the pontoon

and tie it on before it counts, so it's not safe yet.

Go, go, go, go, quickly!

Jeremy is wrestling another boulder free.

Oh, no.

Duck down!

Sounds like good advice from James

but Eleanor's choosing to block the boulders with her...oh,

she caught it and that means she can grab the cog off this one.

-Great stuff.

-Come on, Jeremy!

This must be so frustrating for Jeremy.

Yes, she has tied it on, that's her second cog on.

TEAM CHEERS HER ON

Great encouragement from the rest of her team.

There is a lot to play for. Claw need to win this challenge.

Eleanor is moving so quickly here, they could just do it.

She has already taken hold of another boulder.

Oh, Jeremy has gone on the attack.

That was a good hit and it has definitely delayed Eleanor,

but what she needs is to knock the cog out of her hands.

THEY CHEER

She is zipping back with the cog.

Can Jeremy do anything here to stop her?

Extreme determination from both Eleanor and Jeremy.

-But that's cog three on.

-Don't rush, Jeremy.

-Come on, Jeremy!

She is going for another boulder strike

but Eleanor looks ready for it.

-Oh, a simple catch.

-You are doing amazing, you are doing really well.

She is doing well. Oh, what a duck she is making great pace here.

She hurled that across with huge force, but missed a strike.

With just over two minutes in, Eleanor is back with a fourth cog.

Oh, Eleanor does well not to lose the cog here.

That was a massive smash, but she has tied it on.

Jeremy is going for another boulder swing.

Oh, Eleanor has caught this one, too.

She is keeping so well balanced and it must be so irritating for Jeremy.

Come on, Jeremy! Go get her.

These girls mean business.

Yes, they do, Myleene, and just over halfway through her time,

Eleanor has tied on a fifth cog. This is really quick work.

Jeremy needs to do something to slow her down. Oh, no!

Jeremy has got to put more force into her throws,

if she is going to knock Eleanor in.

Oh, but she has got to keep aiming well, too.

She is swinging the boulders wildly now

but they are just ricocheting around.

She needs to focus more on her targeting.

Go! Eleanor! Eleanor! Eleanor! Eleanor!

Yes, at more than four minutes in that was her sixth cog on

and so she has only got one left now.

No, guys, guys, they are just putting pressure on her.

She'll bend under pressure.

Is Natty right? Will she bend under pressure?

No, another terrific boulder catch.

Oh, there is the last cog

and a really good duck from Eleanor just at the last second.

That's it, game over.

Jeremy looks alarmed and that was a terrific turn from Eleanor.

She moved along the runway really quickly

and stopped boulder after boulder after boulder, with apparent ease.

Jeremy did put great effort into trying to knock her in,

but never managed to achieve the combination of power and aim.

It meant that Eleanor tied on her seventh and final cog

at four minutes and nine seconds.

It's an impressively fast time, but at the halfway stage,

who do they think is going to come out on top here?

BOTH: Me, me, me, me!

Me, me, me, me, me, me!

-Strong!

-No, it's going to be me.

Well, they both sound really confident,

but now they're back for the second leg of the game

and, of course they've swapped places,

so Jeremy is under much greater threat of ending up in the water.

Could the fear affect her performance?

-OK, girls are we ready?

-Ready!

In three, two, one, go!

-And they're off.

-THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

Eleanor ready with the first boulder. No hesitation.

Is Jeremy trying to go quicker by standing up?

Well, Eleanor is swinging again.

Jeremy has ducked down. Oh, she has grabbed it.

Well, caught from Jeremy.

CHEERING

She has untied it, but of course she has to deliver it on the runway

and Eleanor is not going to make that easy for her.

Eleanor means business with those boulders.

Oh, Eleanor smacks this boulder right at Jeremy's head,

but, impressively, she manages to keep balanced on the runway

and doesn't drop the cog, but if Eleanor can keep this

onslaught up, surely she can cause Jeremy some real problems.

-THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

-Brilliant backing from the teams.

They all clearly want their captain to triumph here.

THEY CHEER

While she has crawled out to the end and she is starting to...whoa!

Oh, well ducked from Jeremy.

And she is tying the cog on next to the one that is already

there as her advantage. Yes, she is on two now and, oh!

Well caught.

Now she just needs to get the cog off as quickly as possible.

Oh dear, she seems to be having trouble, so she is a sitting duck.

Oh, no, the boulder ricocheted and Jeremy dodged it,

so she is clean away again.

Well, Sting are cheering her on and it might just be helping,

as under two minutes in, that's her third cog on.

Go on, Eleanor, you can do it!

Claw are giving huge support to Eleanor, too.

They are desperate to make these boulders really count. Oh!

CHEERING

Jeremy is making this look very easy and, believe me, it's not.

Well, she got that cog away very quickly.

Nowhere near, but Eleanor's racing down to try and head her off.

Jeremy almost slipped and, remember, she does not like the water.

Plus, of course, she would have lost the cog

and absolutely wasted her advantage.

Eleanor's doing everything she can to put pressure on Jeremy here,

but the boulder just isn't connecting.

So Jeremy has tied a fourth cog on, but it took her slightly longer

than Eleanor to get her fourth on. So she needs to pick up the pace.

She's caught another boulder.

Now she needs to get the cog off - and fast.

Oh, she is standing up to reach it and that means she is

so vulnerable, can Eleanor make the most of this opportunity?

CHEERING

Oh, Eleanor smacked that boulder right into Jeremy's head,

but she showed amazing balance.

She wobbled, but she didn't fall in or even drop the cog.

So Jeremy is scuttling along.

Can Eleanor do anything here?

Oh, she's struggling to reach that boulder

and now Jeremy has made it to the end of the runway again.

So can she tie it on or will Eleanor be able to make another

even more successful strike?

No, it's on.

Oh, another good duck there, but she needs to speed up,

because she has used well over half her time now

and she is still being slower than Eleanor.

Oh, but that was an excellent catch.

Now can she get this cog off quicker and take the advantage

that Eleanor is struggling to release her next boulder?

Jeremy is racing along the runway to try and get that next cog attached.

And she's there.

Go, Eleanor!

A great swing, but Jeremy is

so low to the deck that there is nothing Eleanor could do.

That's cog six tied on.

SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Well, it was a great catch, but actually this challenge is not

going Jeremy's way overall. By this point, in Eleanor's turn,

she had got all seven cogs tied on.

That's Jeremy's seventh one going on now.

Thanks to the advantage, she does have one left, but there is only

a minute remaining,

so she needs to move ultra-fast here.

SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Eleanor is going for a massive... Oh, no!

CHEERING

Oh, Jeremy has got the eighth cog.

The seconds are ticking. Can Eleanor keep delaying her here?

No! She's at the end!

Eleanor's only chance here is knocking it out of her hands.

No! There it is with eight cogs on, Jeremy has won!

-CHEERING

-That's it! Game over!

What a conclusion to such a thrillingly close

captain verses captain challenge.

Eleanor and Jeremy both pulled off some terrific boulder swings

and both of them opted to crawl along the runway, too.

A safe tactic, but a slow one.

And in the end, Double Crossing did become all about the clock.

Eleanor had delivered all seven of her cogs quicker than Jeremy,

had tied her seventh on, so the only way Jeremy could win

was by attaching the extra one she had as an advantage,

thanks to Sting having won the code cracker.

It seemed sure she would run out of time before she could manage it,

especially as Eleanor never gave up hurling the boulders.

But with seconds to go, she did it.

And so Sting will have the advantage when the teams battle

for the latest island treasure, the silver Venus fly trap in round two.

Next time, the battle intensifies as Claw know they must beat Sting

to win the island treasure.

We all need to work as a team together and do our best.

Jeremy and Eleanor's rivalry comes to a head.

I just said that we had better team work and communication.

How do you know?

Because we're winning all the challenges!

But only one captain will ultimately lead their team to victory.

The winner of today's island challenge is...

And you can join all the action online.

That's all to come next time...

-..as both teams try to Escape From Scorpion Island. Bye.

-Bye.
