Episode 14 Escape from Scorpion Island

Last time, Jeremy from Sting took on Eleanor from Claw

in the first round of a merciless Island Challenge.

Quicker!

Go quickly!

Jeremy won the advantage for Team Sting.

And now the battle intensifies

as Claw know they must beat Sting to win the Island Treasure.

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

Jeremy and Eleanor's rivalry reaches boiling point...

I said we'd better teamwork and communication.

-How do you know you're better?

-Cos we're winning.

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

The winner of today's Island Challenge is...

Welcome to Escape From Scorpion Island.

-I'm Johny.

-And I'm Myleene.

Two teams are battling to beat the island

and only one team will escape on the final day.

It's day seven and there's still an Island Treasure to win.

Have a look at this.

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 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 captured 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 they win the greater advantage

in the final race to escape.

Team Sting have won the advantage

for the second round of the Island Challenge

before they play, Claw have returned back to River Camp

to take stock as they're now so far behind, the pressure is really on.

-If we don't win today we are really in big trouble.

-Yeah.

We've got to win every single one after that if we really want to...

If we win today, that's it, we've got really close

it's only one away and we've got plenty of time to catch up.

We've got four then after if we win today.

Time to catch up just one.

If we don't win today, well, we're kind of stuffed.

Over the past few days, Jeremy's been making me quite annoyed

cos at the start we were friends.

We still are but she's been going, "Sting's best".

I'm going to lead them to victory, not Claw, obviously.

She's not thinking, cos all she cares about is winning

but I'd quite like to win

to tell her that she might not win in the end.

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

I think I'd really like to wipe the smiles off Sting's faces

because they were being a bit,

"Oh, we're going to win. Oh yeah, go Sting!"

So I want to beat them and would like to do that.

I think the whole of Sting are being a bit over-competitive.

Eleanor wants to bring her team back from the brink.

I'd really like to win an Island Treasure for my team

and I'd also like to my team to award me

the Most Valuable Adventurer because I'd really enjoy that.

I like everybody on my team

and wanted to be on Team Claw, so I'm happy.

And Eleanor knows just how to invigorate Claw.

I think we should make up a team chant.

We haven't thought of one and it would help us.

So, has anyone got any ideas?

Yeah, I've got ideas I thought of last night.

It was...

We are Team Claw, give us some more,

we're going to win and chuck Sting in the bin.

-I really like that!

-I think it'll help if we do our chant,

we're feeling down because we've lost and need to win.

-James!

-Dilhan!

-Zach!

-Eleanor!

-Lizzie!

ALL: Team Claw!

ALL: We're Team Claw,

give us some more.

We're going to win

and put Sting in the bin!

CHEERING

In round two, the island is setting Sting and Claw against each other

as teams to try to win the latest Island Treasure.

As it stands, Sting have four treasures, while Claw have just two.

The more treasures you have, the more advantage in the race to escape

and that means both teams will be doing everything to win here

and add the Silver Venus Fly Trap to their Treasure Trove.

So, round two of Double Crossing

is going to be incredibly closely contested...

..as the island told them everyone was going to play.

Sting's Khadie, Peter, Natty and Jordan will be taking on Claw's

Zack, Lizzie, James and Dilhan

but because their captain won round one, Sting will have the advantage

and Jeremy's about to find out it's unusual.

She'll choose whether she wants her team

to deliver the cogs along the runway

or to swing the boulders.

What will she go for?

It's a big decision

and one which can have a massive impact on the game.

Jeremy, you got the advantage for your team.

You now need to choose which side you want your team to be on.

Do you want to be collecting cogs?

Or pushing the boulders?

Runway.

You want to do the runway.

Sting are on the runway, you'll be pushing boulders.

That's good.

-Can you do it?

-Definitely.

You seem happy. I thought you'd be disappointed not to be on the runway

but you want to push boulders.

-Yeah, they look so light.

-Great.

You both seem happy. Is that the end of the rivalry?

ALL: No!

Everyone knows Claw is the best.

-Is it still on?

-ALL: Yes.

I thought it might be.

Here's how round two of Double Crossing works.

Sting's four competitors start with ten huge cogs

and one at a time, they'll cross a slippery runway

to deliver these cogs to the cable at the other end.

They receive one point for every cog they tie on

and this time crawling is not allowed.

Claw's competitors will be across the sturdier track

and will each have two giant boulders

to try and swing at Sting to bash the cogs

out of their hands or smack them into the water.

They will earn three points every time

they knock one of Sting in the drink.

If a cog goes in the water before the end of the runway

it's out of play and the game finishes

once all ten cogs are lost or delivered.

And of course the team with the highest final score wins.

So they're set for the game.

Sting are ready to get on the runway

and Claw are raring to get going with the boulders.

Guys, are you ready?

ALL: Yeah!

Three, two, one, go!

And they're off and Natty's first,

but will the hype prove a help or a hindrance?

James is going for it. No!

Ooh, first boulder.

She's racing along the runway.

A brilliant shot from Lizzie!

Oh, but she's made it to the end.

Great deflection work from Natty.

You're right. She coped with the boulders amazingly well.

Her fast pace limited the number of shots

Claw could get in but they did hit her with a couple of

full-on strikes and yet Natty managed to fend them away

and deliver a cog to take Sting 1-0 up.

Jeremy is still celebrating and Peter's going for it.

Whoa! He's down, he's in the water.

What a fantastic boulder throw from Dilhan.

Peter gets off to a fast start

but is not steady enough to stay on

when a huge shot from Dilhan bashes into him.

As each knock in earns three points, Claw is in the lead.

It's 3-1 to them now and that puts real pressure on Sting.

Next up, it's Khadie,

and she seems to be struggling even to get onto the runway.

No, she's OK for now.

Whoa, she looks sure to be going in there.

She's managed to regain her balance.

The smacks keep coming.

A really powerful shot from Lizzie!

Somehow Khadie manages to stay on and keep going.

Well done. Khadie's got her cog to the end.

After a seemingly uncertain start,

Khadie shows her mettle by ploughing on

to deliver her cog and nab a hard-earned point for Sting.

It's 3-2 to Claw.

Natty's back up on the runway.

After one run, this gets draining.

But she works quickly and Claw aren't having much effect.

So she's all the way across.

This was a thoroughly efficient turn from Natty.

She zipped past Claw's boulders

and her cog was the equaliser. It's 3-3.

-Next to run, it's Jordan.

-Get back!

The boulders are coming thick and fast now

but Jordan's managing to survive... Oh!

Whoa! Oh, no!

Jordan does well to cope with the brutal bouldering from Claw

and is unlucky Zach catches him with such a cracking shot,

bagging another three points for Claw.

They're back in the lead now, 6-3. Oh, and in the heat of the moment,

Jordan ties his cog on anyway but of course, it does not count.

Come on, guys!

Peter's next, looking exhausted.

You're doing well!

He's hit but he's powering on with a smile.

Oh, and that ricochet was a bit of luck for him.

-'He's there and took it in his stride.'

-Well done!

Peter seemed to enjoy this run.

As Claw couldn't get enough force

with their boulders to really delay him at all, you can understand why.

Plus, his cog delivery pulled things back a little for Sting.

It's 6-4 but this challenge is on a knife edge

because another knock-in would take Claw to nine points,

and Sting couldn't score any more than eight.

So Sting have got to be unbelievably careful now.

Khadie's back on now and she is shattered.

James is going for the throw. No - she batted it back at him.

Oh, and it's blocked his next shot.

She's... Oh, a ricochet!

Oh, and another. And yes, she's made it.

After a strong strike from James, Claw became chaotic,

launching boulders at each other, rather than at Khadie.

She made it across to tie a cog on for another much-needed point.

It's 6-5 now. Sting are coming back,

but anything could still happen.

Now it's Natty again.

She's so tired, really struggling to get up on the runway.

James' first boulder. No - she bats it away.

Oh, a huge hit! And another!

Wow! She's across.

Great effort from Natty, who copes with big hits

from a refocused Claw

and brings the scores level again at 6-6.

Sting have got three cogs left and a knock-in scores three for Claw.

This is going down to the wire.

Come on! Let's go!

Next, it's Peter again.

Come on! Get him! Get him!

They're trying but... Oh, no!

Peter is tearing along, so determined to get to the end.

And he's done it!

Peter proves it's not size but determination that gets results.

He races and dodges and you can see his confidence shining out.

His cog delivery takes Sting back in the lead.

It's 7-6 now but this could all still go either way.

Jordan again and James chucks his first boulder - far too early.

And so's that one!

Go on, knock it away!

Oh... No, he's OK and he's there.

Powerful boulder-swinging from Claw made this hard for Jordan

but, though he was hit and looked like he'd lose his balance,

he got his cog across to take Sting further into the lead. It's 8-6 now.

But there is only one cog left

and so it's all come down to this very last run.

If Claw can get a knock-in, they'll be on nine points

and will win but if Sting deliver the cog

THEY'LL be on nine points and THEY'LL be the winners.

Extraordinary! This is so close. Now bring it on!

So it's Khadie who's got the unenviable task

of getting Sting's last cog across.

James is going for it straightaway.

Still too early - brushed away.

and she has tried that one now, oh! Good shot from Lizzie.

That's slowed her down. Now, can Zac do anything...?

No, it's too late Khadie has made it across

and so Sting have won.

OK, guys, that's it! Game over!

After an extreme challenge, Team Claw feel they may have lost.

I'm still gutted and downhearted at the moment.

I'm really annoyed.

I'm quite gutted because we lost the challenge.

I hope Scorpion Island's got something up its sleeve

otherwise we will lose all the way.

But Team Sting are elated.

I'm feeling very proud of myself because I didn't fall off,

I dodged every one

and I got all my cogs, three, to the other side.

I think I'm a natural.

We work together well.

and even though Jeremy was on the sidelines she was encouraging us

a lot and I think that was my motivation to power us on as a team.

I think we did really well.

Half the time they were out of time so they didn't knock us at all.

So as soon as you're running, you've got to the other end

before you know it. You just have to get down

and then stick those cogs onto the rope.

If we have won that would just be the best thing ever,

to have won that game. Fingers crossed at the island fire tonight.

Well, Natty, this was a thoroughly action packed challenge

and, at points, both teams looked on course for victory.

As Jeremy had won round one, Sting had the choice of roles

and opted to deliver the cogs rather than hurl the boulders.

It was a decision which paid off but it did also mean

they faced the more physically demanding side of the game,

so as they dodged and defended their way

through run after run, you could see

just how unbelievably tired they were becoming.

All four of Claw's competitors made some properly forceful impacts

with their boulders and both Dilhan and Zach achieved

impressive knock-ins too, sending Peter and Jordan splashing down.

A third knock-in would have been enough to win it for Claw

but, try as they might, they just couldn't manage it.

So with nine points to Claw's six, Sting were the winners here

and they will have the latest island treasure,

the Silver Venus flytrap.

So, teams, how was that?

It was fun, really fun.

It was absolutely fun.

Well done with the running. Hands up, who got pushed in?

Who went in?

THEY LAUGH

You were all super-zippy. Was it hard on that runway? A bit wobbly?

It wasn't after you'd got a good pace.

After you got up, yeah, it was, and you started running...

What was annoying was that when we went up there, you swim up,

and then by the time you got back, it's your turn again.

What about you guys?

-Did you enjoy hurling those boulders?

-Yeah, it was fun.

Sting and Claw, I guess you're both dying to know who today's winner is.

I can now tell you...all will be revealed tonight at the Island Fire.

Only the island knows for sure. I know, sorry!

The Island Challenge is over

and Jeremy reflects on an extremely competitive day.

You really want to do it well

because you want the rest of your team to believe in you and say

that you can do well in the challenges

and you want to do well for them and you want to do it for yourself.

You want to do it for the team

and it kind of puts a lot of pressure on you.

And the rivalry between her and Eleanor comes to a head.

Claw sticks together more and even though we are losing

quite a lot it doesn't matter because we don't always

pick one person for the challenge and we give everybody a go

and we just want everyone to have a really good, fun time.

We stick together more

and we don't just choose one person to do the memory trial all the time.

Like they do. They leave everyone else out and choose one person.

Just so you know, Sting, as a team, don't make any decisions

without all its team members agreeing on it.

So therefore everybody agreed on Khadie and me playing it safe.

And we were sticking together. We all took advice.

And that's what a team is and that's how you win.

Teamwork and communication is what matters

and if they had that, they would win by now.

-Do you have communication and teamwork?

-Yes, we do.

-We do.

-Do you?

-Yes.

Eleanor decided she wanted to be in Claw

and I was a definite for Sting. We just wanted the team

that we're on to do so well and we try to stick up for them and fight

their battles and say that Claw have always won

and they say Sting could win this time.

But the island has the captains exactly where it wants them

and the more they disagree, the more the island wins.

TALKING OVER ONE ANOTHER

Jeremy, that does not mean we do not have any.

-I know! I never said you didn't have any.

-You just did.

I said we had better teamwork and communication.

How do you know you have better?

-Because we're winning all the challenges.

-And?

Cos...to win challenges you obviously need a team and communication.

I've got a team, and communication, because I can talk.

-Have you got communication, really?

-Yes. I can talk.

So is that why you're failing?

It's just got into something a little bit bigger and then...

We decided to stop because it was so silly.

It's the end of an intense day of rivalry on Scorpion Island...

For Claw, the dawning realisation that they have lost is setting in.

When I came off the island challenge today

I was feeling quite down because I thought well

that was one of the last times to get like to catch up.

When I lose, I tend to take it all on me.

Like I just think it's just me who's done really bad

when normally it is a team effort

and it's a team effort that didn't go to plan

and we unfortunately lost.

But James thinks he knows where they're going wrong.

I think everything went wrong today.

First of all we started with the code cracker

and we lost that, which then gave a cog then to Team Sting and

then they got to choose what to do and they chose the easiest,

which was running up and down, we had the throwing of the balls.

I think what's going wrong generally for our team

is that we are not winning the beginning, the code cracker

they're getting the advantages and winning.

That's were we're really losing all of our points.

Claw captain Eleanor is blaming herself.

Even though everyone did well and tried their hardest,

we didn't win and I am quite upset about that because I wanted

to win as captain as I think it will be my last chance.

Go, go, go!

I think it was all about time because we both got the same

amount of cogs, I'm sure, so I'm a bit annoyed with myself.

Eleanor thinks Jeremy has not only been the most successful

captain but the Island Treasure will be awarded to her too.

Jeremy's going to get it today because she was captain

and she is the only one in Team Sting who has no Island Treasure.

So now they're all going to have Island Treasures

and only two people will have one which I am jealous about

because I want to win an Island Treasure for my team.

Everyone's like, "We are going to lose, we are going to lose,"

which I don't think because we're a fantastic team

and we are better than Sting even though we are doing well.

Slow and steady wins the race so I think that Claw can do

really well in this.

Natty, a former team mate of Eleanor's

has a word of advice for Claw.

My advice to them would be communication is the key

and listening to your other team mates

because their communication isn't good at the moment and I suppose

when you're losing like that team morale sort of goes down a lot.

Another full moon rises

and the island is ready to announce the winners of today's challenge.

Both Sting and Claw have been summoned to the Island Fire.

Welcome, teams, to the Island Fire.

This is where all will be revealed about your mission here

and, more importantly, where the island communicates with you.

Team Sting, how did you find Double Crossing?

-Fine.

-Great, amazing.

-Excellent.

Why so excellent? You seem very pleased with yourselves.

Because I managed to get an advantage for my team.

And also going across it was so fun.

-Running, and...

-Only one of us - Peter - fell over.

OK! Team Claw, how did you find it today? The Island Challenge?

I was fun, even though we didn't do as well as expected.

It was just fun.

He liked knocking people!

James, I was there. You were really good.

OK, well done, guys. I thought you were all excellent today.

However, I'm guessing you're all itching to find out

what the results of the Island Challenge are. Yeah?

-Yes!

-OK.

The winner of today's Island Challenge is...

..Team Sting!

CHEERING

Congratulations!

Team Sting, you won the Island Challenge

and also the seventh Island Treasure -

the Venus Fly Trap. Congratulations.

Every night at the Island Fire, only one adventurer

from the winning team can be awarded the treasure

but what is the true significance of these treasures?

The island knows but will not let on just yet.

So then, who are you going to award your island treasure to?

Who was your most valuable player? Talk amongst yourselves.

-All very well...

-It's got to be Jeremy, yeah.

She got us an advantage.

And she was a great captain as well.

Thank, guys.

So, guys, you've had time to talk. Who is your most valued adventurer?

ALL: Jeremy.

Jeremy!

Congratulations. Tell me why you voted for Jeremy.

She got us that advantage.

And she was a good captain. And now we all have an Island Treasure.

Well done. Congratulations, Jeremy.

You've been awarded most valuable adventurer

and you've won the seventh Island Treasure, the Venus Fly Trap.

Not only is this very beautiful to look at but it also represents

the trickery that the island plays on you every single day.

So well done - it's yours.

Round of applause for Jeremy, everyone.

Take it back to your team. Well done.

Another round of applause for Jeremy, then, guys, and Team Sting.

So, Sting have won their fifth Island Treasure. Claw only have two.

You can catch all the action online.

We will see you next time on Escape From Scorpion Island.

BOTH: Bye.

Next time on Scorpion Island,

Peter and Lizzie must lead their teams into the arena of competition.

Claw captain Lizzie has the intense pressure of whittling down

Sting's Island Treasure lead.

SHOUTING

While Sting captain Peter has the extra burden

of keeping his team on top and ahead.

Come on, guys. Think about it.

But no-one said leading a team would be an easy ride.

I don't think Peter's taking the lead or the role of captain.
