Episode 7 Escape from Scorpion Island

'Last time on Scorpion Island, in an incredible show of skill...'

Well done, this is amazing team work.

'..the girls beat the boys to make it 2-1 in the Island Challenges.'

'Lizzie proved to be the most valuable adventurer

'and brought home the Silver Pit Viper island treasure.

'The comeback is on.'

Watch out, boys, we're coming to get you.

'However, joy turned to disbelief...'

-What?

-What?

'..as the teams were rocked to their foundations

'when the island made Zach and Jeremy vanish.'

-I think something fishy's going on.

-Yeah.

I want to get out of this bloomin' cage!

'Today is a day like no other.

'They must focus and forge on with another dastardly Island Challenge.'

Which one?!

'And this time, the ultimate prize is up for grabs.'

'It could only be Scorpion Island.'

-Hello, I'm Myleene.

-And I'm Johny.

There are two teams of adventurers on the island

and it's girls versus boys. They're on a mission to escape

and they're facing the biggest challenges of their lives.

Plenty of twists and turns along the way, too.

And they need to be the best,

cos on the final day only one team can escape.

'Scorpion Island relishes in its splendid isolation

'and uses its natural world as its impenetrable defence system.'

'The island is teaming 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 captured the Fortune Hunter's spirit

'and locked it away.'

FORTUNE HUNTER SCREAMS

'Now, ten adventurers must follow the path he created.

'Their mission, to escape the island.

'They must battle it out in terrifying challenges,

'and the victors win an Island Treasure.'

'The more they win, the greater the advantage they will have

'in the Final Race To Escape.'

'This island is devious, and the adventurers were aghast

'as two team mates mysteriously vanished at the Island Fire.'

Teams, or what's left of you,

now it's time to find out who will be your new captain

for your fourth day on the island.

The captain for the girls will be Eleanor.

Yay!

And the captain for the boys will be Peter.

Congratulations, guys.

So let me come to the ladies first. Eleanor, what are your plans?

To win.

-To win?

-Win.

-Simple as that.

-Win.

-No dilution.

She means it. Look at those eyes.

Win, win. OK, I've got Eleanor's message.

Thank you, Eleanor.

What about you, Peter? What are your plans?

I'm a man of few words, and, basically,

I just want to win, too.

Actions speak louder than words, Peter.

I'd say you're both evenly matched.

Let the games begin.

'So the new team captains are Peter for the boys

'and Eleanor for the girls.

'They will now have to lead their team of adventurers

'against the island's tough defences.

'But they only have four team members.'

'As the first wave of shock begins to subside,

'the teams speculate as to what the island has done.'

You know the Jeremy thing, when she vanished,

what do you think actually happened?

I think that maybe the island has taken her

and in our next challenge maybe we have to win her back.

Or maybe that we don't get her back at all

until we win a number of challenges or something,

and then we win both of them, or something like that.

I think the island captured them and they're going to be prizes.

I think they were captured by the Fortune Hunter.

-Maybe they're with him.

-Yeah.

If the Fortune Hunter's captured them

the Fortune Hunter must be with the island,

because why would he capture them right next to the fire?

-Yeah.

-And how would he have the power to take him like that?

'But there's no more time for talk as the adventurers

'take their first step towards freeing their team mates.

'And the captains will have to lead their teams against the island.

'But they're not alone.

'The Fortune Hunter once made his way through the unforgiving jungle

'and now he's helping the adventurers on their journey.'

'He knows that only the bravest and brightest 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 once again the island is furious

'that the Fortune Hunter is still helping the adventurers,

'and has smashed the ring into pieces.

'And now they must attempt to piece the shards of the ring together.'

-Are you ready?

-We're ready.

Three, two, one, go.

'Each day that passes,

'the island makes the puzzle more complicated to solve.

'There are seven pieces of symbol ring here

'but only four make the ring complete.'

That goes there, I think.

No, no, that doesn't go there.

Communicate, talk.

Oh, here, here, here.

Oh, look, this one, there.

Oh, no, it's not this one.

Yes, yes, got it, got it.

'The team that can complete the ring the quickest

'will get to play for an advantage from the Fortune Hunter.'

Put those there for a minute. Not on the floor, we'll forget.

Excellent, I'll bring this here.

'The boys look like they're doing well.'

Get it in! Come on, where's the final piece?

-Come on, guys!

-Get the other piece off!

Get the other piece off, come on!

This one, this one, this one!

Come on!

The sun, where's the sun?

It's not that piece. That's not the right piece.

Try that one. Good.

Yes, that's there, that's perfect.

On it, on it. Yes, yes! Come on!

Wait, there's one more piece.

-Yes, stop!

-That's it!

'The boys were so close, but the girls are the victors.'

Well done, that was super-whizzy.

Fantastic. Excellent communication skills.

'Each day, the Fortune Hunter can give one of the teams an advantage,

'so now the girls must prove themselves worthy

'in a special type of trial

'where they'll be tested on their knowledge of the symbols.'

'Eleanor and Khadie have 20 seconds to memorise these symbols.

'They will then be presented with a group of symbols

'but only four of them are from the symbol ring.

'If they can place the four symbols in the correct sequence

'and identify the one rogue symbol

'they will gain an advantage in the Island Challenge.

'And Khadie has a special weapon up her sleeve to help her.'

With the symbol ring, I remember it like a big story.

'There was a diamond next to a monkey

and it was in the Himalaya mountains.'

There was a triangle on top of a circle,

'the circle went up and the triangle was left,

'then the circle rolled in mud and turned black.

'Then there was a pyramid which it rolled in to,

'and then when it rolled into the pyramid it got in trouble

'and ended up in jail.'

I kind of make it a long story

and, by the end, I literally know the whole ring.

-So, are you ready for the next stage of your challenge?

-Definitely.

Fantastic. I'm going to now show you the memory ring for 20 seconds.

You'll have 20 seconds to remember as many of the symbols as possible.

-Are you ready?

-Ready?

'Let's see if Khadie's story works for her.'

-Go.

-Round that side. Go, go, go.

'Test your memory, too. You've got 15 seconds.'

(There was thunder...)

Time's up.

'Look away now.

'The four symbols are just about to vanish

'from the Fortune Hunter's symbol ring.'

'Eleanor and Khadie must now identify the four symbols

'that were on the ring, and disregard the rogue symbol.'

Now we'll have two minutes to try and replace

each of those missing symbols and put them on to the ring.

However, I can't stress strongly enough,

you have to return each symbol to the exact place it came from.

If you fail to do so, you'll fail the task.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, we're ready.

Three, two, one, go.

Right, Khadie, you know where that goes.

I know where this goes.

This one is here.

I think it's those two.

I think the one with the circle on top is there but I'm not sure.

No, that's rogue.

'Is Eleanor right? Is this the rogue symbol.'

It's these two, yeah. Take that one first.

'Now they have just over a minute left

'to return them to their correct spaces on the ring.'

Which one do you want now?

This one.

'Last one, but where does it go?'

Think about this, right. Your story...

There was a monkey...

That's definitely right.

But does this look right? I think it's this way.

-I think that's right.

-Are you sure?

When we're looking at this, does that look correct?

It looks more correct than that.

Yeah, I think it's that.

-Sure?

-That is definitely there, and that's definitely there.

And I think that's it.

OK, just hope for this one.

OK. We're done.

-Are you done?

-We're finished.

You've finished before the clock. Do you want to think again?

Hmm... No, we're pretty sure.

Take this time if you want to discuss anything,

or you want a second guess.

'There's serious doubts about these two symbols.'

I'm sure that's it.

When you did yours, how did you remember it?

There's an equilateral triangle in jail with a thundercloud.

The jail was next to a pyramid,

and there was a straight pyramid and a pyramid with a circle.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Game over. That's it, your time's up. No more changes.

'The girls drew on Khadie's story technique

'but still lacked confidence when it came to the last symbols.'

You finished before the clock

-but then you seemed to waiver with your confidence.

-Hmm.

-We're not too sure about those.

-I'm sure about that one.

You're not sure about these, but you are sure about these?

OK, well, I can now reveal the results.

I can tell you that this symbol...

..is correct.

-Well done.

-One down, three to go.

This symbol...

-..is correct.

-Oh, yeah!

Oh, my God.

Girls...

Oh, don't say that!

I can now tell you...

..that these two symbols...

..are correct.

THEY SCREAM AND LAUGH

Well done, you've completed your memory trial and won it.

'The girls were correct, and now they'll be rewarded

'with the right to choose whether they go first or second

'in the Island Challenge.'

So, girls, the choice is yours.

We're going to go second.

You'll go second in the Island Challenge. Good choice.

That's it then, the girls are going second.

'The symbol ring has frustrated the boys,

'but doubt must be vanquished, and quick,

'with the Island Challenge looming.

'However, the ring continues to play an important role

'in the adventurers' journey.'

'And the Fortune Hunter is using the symbols

'to communicate a message about the impending challenge again.'

'Five symbols, a team of five adventurers.'

'A small circle, an adventurer, a large circle, a cage.'

'What will happen if this adventurer is freed to join the others?'

'What is the Fortune Hunter hinting at?'

'But this is not the only way the Fortune Hunter can communicate

'with the adventurers. He's about to make contact with them

'in a much more obvious way.'

'Team captains Eleanor and Peter

'have searched for the Fortune Hunter's rusty casket,

'and have unearthed it amongst the rocks by river camp.'

Oh, there's a typewriter.

Put it on that rock.

'It's one of the Fortune Hunter's relics.

'A typewriter with a mysterious message attached.'

'Adventurers, I want you to battle the island

'and succeed where I failed. You'll travel to a vanishing point

'and you must win back your team mates today.'

That's in capital letters, it must mean something serious.

'Don't let me down.'

Come on, let's go.

'The adventurers have had some help from the Fortune Hunter,

'but now the boys are on their own

'trying to win the ultimate prize,

'their vanished team mate, Zach.'

'The island has been hiding him and Jeremy

'in an undiscovered magical clearing,

'where the Fortune Hunter who looks after the adventurers

'is watching over them.'

'It feels really different, doesn't it?'

And the weird thing is, the worst thing is that last night

after the Island Fire

we didn't cook ourselves anything, we hardly had any clothes,

we only had our rucksacks and water.

We're just totally captured by the island, we're isolated.

But there were some good things, cos James snores like mad.

SHE LAUGHS

I, for one, miss my friends!

I know, I miss all of my friends, but James snores like anything

but he's still a good mate, and I miss them all.

-You talk like anything.

-I don't talk.

-You do.

-I don't.

-See, I was stuck with him!

We're not sure what's going to happen.

-We imagine something to do...

-With the next challenge.

Yeah. We hope. We hope to be back by the next Island Fire.

And we hope that our team mates rescue us,

cos I really can't do this anymore.

Please, whatever you do, girls, come on,

we can win this and save me, please!

Boys, you can rescue me easily.

Come on, you just need to fend off those pesky little girls.

'So, today the teams are playing for their team mate

'and the island treasure.'

'The more treasures they're awarded,

'the greater the advantage they'll gain in the final race

'to release the Fortune Hunter's spirit and escape.'

'The island's fourth treasure is the scorpion.'

'The scorpion represents the island's stinging, devious nature.

'A sting that might well strike very soon

'and send the adventurers into turmoil.'

'The boys have won two island treasures already,

'and the girls have won one.

'The boys must win today if they're to stop the girls from equalising.'

'First up, it's the boys. That's Jordan,

'Dilhan,

'James

'and today's captain, Peter.'

'Zach vanished at the last Island Fire,

'and now the island can reveal to the boys

'the terrifying position it's put him in.'

'He's locked in a cage and suspended way up among the trees.

'So the boys will be competing to free him and get him back.'

'This is Vanishing Point.

'Zach is trapped in a cage by the side of an enormous ravine

'and two boys must drag themselves across the precarious cables

'on an unstable cart

'so as to collect the giant cogs which are hanging down.'

'Once they've grabbed a cog,

'the remaining two members must use all of their physical strength

'to winch the cart back.

'Then the boys must place the cogs on a huge set of scales

'to weigh Zach down,

'and it'll take the weight of five cogs to get him to ground level.

'They've got a maximum of ten minutes to free Zach,

'and if they can do it in less time than it takes the girls

'to free their team member Jeremy when they play,

'then they'll also win the latest island treasure, the scorpion.

'Island treasures are absolutely vital

'and, of course, winning their team mates back is crucial, too,

'so you just know this is going to be a hard-fought challenge.'

'Remember, the girls have chosen to take this challenge on second,

'which means they can watch the boys

'and learn from their triumphs and disasters.

'Right now, they're set to go. Dilhan and James are on the winch,

'while captain Peter and Jordan are on the cart.'

Boys, are you ready for the Island Challenge?

-ALL:

-Ready!

In three, two, one,

go!

'And they're off!

'And they're making really quick progress out towards the first cog.'

Go on, guys!

Stop. Stop!

'They've reached the cog, but now Jordan has got to release it.

'With those gloves on, it's going to be thoroughly awkward

'but he can't waste any time here.'

Come on, boys!

We've got Zach up there, willing them on.

He obviously wants to escape that cage and be set free.

'But his team mates are letting precious seconds pour away here.'

Oh, they've done it, so they've got their first cog.

'And that means Dilhan and James go flat out to winch them back.'

Come on, boys!

'This is such tough work, but they're back.'

'Yes! That's their first cog on.'

I got lowered, boys, I got lowered!

'They've barely gathered their breath

'before heading out to the next cog.

'This must be incredibly tiring.'

You can see they're already struggling.

'But they know that to get Zach back they've got to push on through.'

-The cog, the cog!

-The cog!

'Oh, and they're at their second cog now

'and this time it looks like it's Peter who's going to release it.'

Got it.

'That was much quicker. Great cog work there.'

I think that you two...

When you hold them, hold them really tightly, put it in your lap

and hold it. Don't let go of the cog.

'Well, it sounds like the girls are getting their tactics together,

'and Jordan and Peter are racing back.'

And we've got Dilhan and James reeling them in really quickly now.

Come on, guys!

'So, in just over two minutes, the boys have got two cogs in

'and that means Zach's going down again.'

Come on!

'This is clearly beginning to get properly exhausting.'

Use the middle rope!

I think they'll find it difficult as they get tired

towards the last few cogs.

'Hard graft from Jordan and Peter,

'but it's not impressing the girls.'

The boys are taking too long.

'And they've made it to the third cog.'

Get to the thing, get to the thing.

I think that Zach's getting worried right now.

'He realises that if they don't do it quick enough,'

he's not going to get set free.

I want to get out of this bloomin' cage!

It smells!

Their arms must be starting to feel really weak right now,

it's tough work out there.

'But at least they don't have to do all the hard work

'on these return legs,

'while Dilhan and James hurl themselves into the winching.'

Put it in, put it in!

'Well, in just under three and a half minutes

'that's their third one in.'

Faster, faster!

'But for every cog they've got to collect

'they've got to go further across,

'which means they've got to pass the wobbly section of the cables,

'more than five storeys above the ground. Unbelievable.'

Go as fast as you can! Keep going!

So a lot of team encouragement,

they're working really well as a team, but will that be enough?

Come on, the cog!

'And yes, they've reached the fourth cog!

'Remember, if they drop a single one of these cogs,

'there's no way that Zach can be freed.

'So it would be a disaster

'if Jordan let this one slip down into the ravine.'

Come on, guys!

'They've got it, and Jordan's safely clamping it between his knees.'

So they're on the way back. This is where James and Dilhan come in.

They're working so hard there.

Use two hands, Dilhan! Two hands.

Zach's barking out his orders.

"Use two hands, Dilhan! Use two hands!"

Pass it to... Pass it...

He's ordering them too much. They're doing their best.

'That may be, but it seems to be working, because they're back.

'And at just over five and a half minutes,

'that's cog four on the scales and Zach lowered down once again.'

They're getting tired now. Look at the strain in Peter's face.

He's put everything he's got into this.

Come on, Jordan!

'And he needs to, because they're going for their very last cog now,

'and it's right the way across the other side of the valley.

'Zach looks worried,

'but James and Dilhan are keeping up a constant barrage of support.'

Come on, Jordan! Come on, Peter!

If you listen to them it's not, "Oh, come on, you can do it,"

it's more like, "Go faster."

Seriously, do not look down.

-They're struggling now.

-They're almost stopping.

'They look shattered.'

I think they're feeling it.

'But have they got the energy to drag themselves onto the last cog?'

Come on!

'Zach needs them to dig deep and find the strength to reach it.'

BOYS SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

'And, yes!'

Yes! They've got it, they've got it!

'But they've still got to release it

'and it would be an absolute nightmare if they let it slip now.

'Nope, they're OK.'

-Quickly!

-Quickly!

'Zach must be desperate for them to keep hold of that cog

'and get it over to the scales as quickly as possible

'so he can rejoin his team.'

'This is epic stuff. They're giving it everything they've got

'and working together as a team like never before.'

Come on James, come on Dilhan!

That's it!

'The girls look concerned,

'but as the boys have no idea how they'll do,

'they don't want to waste a second here

'because that might be all that separates the teams' times.'

Take it, Peter. Peter, take it. Don't drop it.

'Well, now they've reached the end, and, yes!'

-ALL:

-Yes!

So it's in, the final cog.

'And that means they've won Zach back.'

Well done. You did a great job.

You're really pulling and pulling and pulling

until your arms nearly fall off.

At the end, when we found out we'd got Zach back, we were really happy.

'And you should be happy, Jordan,

'because this was an impressive performance from the boys.'

'Jordan and Peter did waste time struggling to release the cogs,

'but not enough to cause them to need their full ten minutes.

'The fifth cog was on the scales at eight minutes, seven seconds.'

'We don't know if this will prove quick enough to beat the girls

'and bag the latest island treasure, the scorpion,

'but it's a result to celebrate

'because it's brought Zach back into the pack. Great news.'

'Next time, it's the girls' turn to go toe-to-toe against the island.'

Go, go, go!

'It's going to be a race against time, and the massive question is,

'can they release Jeremy from the island's clutches?'

Come on, come on!

Guys, I'm telling you, you'd better get me down.

'It's going to get frantic.'

'But there's no respite,

'as the island drops yet another revelation

'that will shock the adventurers to their core.'

'And you can join all the action online now.'

So we'll find out soon who wins the island treasure.

And there's going to be another surprise at the Island Fire.

See you next time for more as we try to escape from Scorpion Island.

-See you.

-Bye.
