01x04 - Episode 4

Post by bunniefuu »

This programme contains strong
language from the start and throughout

This is my worst nightmare.

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!

On an unforgiving 18 day trek...

Oh, my God!

Ooh! Agh!

..to win a share of 300 grand.

But standing between
them and the money,

we've built a series of incredible
temptations...

Guys, there's hot water.

..with the world's highest prices...

3,000 per double bed. It's a lot.

..and every pound
they spend will be deducted

from the shared prize pot.

I'm not sleeping
in a three grand bed.

I'm built different!

I doubt it.

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 need something to get
me through this.

Would you give in
to peer pressure...

It's not a weakness to take it -
it's a strength.

..or temptation?

Welcome to the dark side.
THEY LAUGH

Previously on Tempting Fortune...

You can treat yourself one time.

I think it's self love.

Bonnie, I don't know where
it's gonna stop with you.

We have a temptation.

400 for a chocolate bar.

It's a ridiculous purchase.

..spending caused divisions...

Every time you take a temptation,
it makes me feel stronger.

That's not helpful. This is tough.

..and so we split them into two.

Let's go, Team A.

James's group...

It's hard. Knowing at any point
you could just take a temptation.

..and Carolynne's group.

We have our own camp? Is it just us?

Bring on the temptations!

Whilst one half resisted
all temptations...

"Your mum, Tina, is available if you'd like
to pick up the phone." I can't do that.

Like, the possibility of speaking to
my son, it's just, like, overwhelming.

..the others spent freely.

To the next temptation! Woo!

It's 7am.

The 12 fortune seekers are just over
halfway through an epic 18 day trek

to reach whatever's left
of a 300 grand prize fund.

Money. You forget that it's real.

Because for the sake of
the experiment, that's a good deal.

Yeah. Whereas in actuality,
that's real money.

When peer pressure stopped half
the group spending,

we split them into two groups to see
if their behaviour changed.

I'm excited to see what the day holds,
and that's the first time I've said that.

The two groups don't know how long
they'll be separated,

or that they're camped
just 200 metres apart.

You've got to look at it
from another angle of what you see

is valuable at the time
in this place,

because in this experiment
things are different.

That chocolate was kind of expensive
when you look back, right?

For that... 400 for a chocolate bar
that lasted for half a second.

In the real world, I could
have bought 800, but we got one...

..and we split it 12 ways!

That's when I have to use
the phrase weak.

With no idea of
the other camp's spending,

James' group toughed it out,

resisting every temptation.

Last night, Trewley had
a very interesting temptation

to talk to her mother.

Unbelievably, she turned
that down and she did it for us

because of her loyalty.

I woke up at four
crying about my mum.

Oh. I'm all right now.

I just felt a bit, like,
woke up, like, feeling guilty.

I miss my mum so much,

but I couldn't go back to a camp

where we've all sat and cried
about missing our families

and be, like, "Yeah, I've just spoke
to my mum. How yous feeling?"

Like, I just couldn't...
I dunno, I just couldn't do that.

That sacrifice for the group
is huge.

Now I know for a fact
I can't take one

because I might as
well slap her in the face.

This camp, we want to go home
with a lot of money, but also

we're all on a personal journey
of not taking these temptations.

We want to prove something to
ourselves where the other camp is

here for more the experience,
the laugh, the fun.

It's frustrating knowing
that they have power over the money.

This morning there was a lightness
to waking up. And excitement.

Yeah. Like,
"What's today gonna bring?"

Carolynne's group have blown £1,800
pounds on phone calls and party

drinks since we split them
yesterday.

We feel relieved. We feel like we've
kind of broken away

and rebelled a little bit,

and I think we've kind of realised
how suppressed and oppressed

we were being.

Yesterday was a turning
point for me.

These next nine days
are going to be fun

and I'm going to make sure they are.

James will be beside himself
because he can't control us.

If you say anything to James,
it's bite your head off.

"You're in the wrong!
You're taking all my money!"

It's not your money.
It's nobody's money.

We haven't made it across
the finish line yet. Pfft!

It's not gonna be nice when we go
back, though. No.

I think our group and me personally

are quite open to each other's views

and we allow each other's
views to be heard.

What I'm aware of in the back
of my mind is that when we get back

together, the boys aren't
going to like it.

Whilst apart, both of the camps
are gonna be offered

some everyday temptations
they're used to getting back home.

But now, at the halfway point of
the journey,

can they contain their immediate
impulses and resist the urge

to delve into the group prize fund?

Neither group will know
if the others spent,

but tomorrow
they'll come face-to-face,

and we have temptations
waiting around every corner.

What is your food you're after?

I'm really craving sweets
to be honest.

I'm not picky at this point,
darling.

Will caffeine addict Carolynne
struggle to resist the temptation

she previously turned
down when it was offered

to the entire group?

Freshly brewed for that morning
boost with a selection

of buttery baked goods.

Can either group resist
a morning latte?

Oh, my God!

The coffee, coffee, coffee.

Ooh!

What are the... Pancakes?
Are they pancakes?

My mouth is salivating.

I don't wanna look if there's
cookies or Cinnabons.

Are those doughnut holes?

Ooh. Them cookies smell mmm!

What's the price on these?

Coffee and a pastry. 200.

I feel like... I'm good.
..I don't need this.

Yeah, me too. You guys don't want a
coffee and a pastry?

Looks amazing, but there's no way
I could take that. Built different.

Babes, on me, I'm good in the hood.

All right. But have a good shift.

That hazelnut was amazing.
That was banging.

The hazelnut smell
was absolutely delicious.

Doesn't any of you drink coffee?
Cos I want a pastry.

We can share.

You want the pastry
and then I'll have the coffee.

You sure?

I don't know.
I feel bad. I feel too bad.

OFF-SCREEN:
We're sacrificing so much.

If the other group comes along and

gives in and takes a cup
of coffee, it stings a little bit.

It's a slap in the face

for all the sacrifice and everything
that we're doing.

Ten days into the experiment, and
we've divided our fortune seekers

into two groups to see if
peer pressure

was affecting their willpower.

James's group resisted all
temptations while Carolynne's

couldn't stop spending.

I just need a coffee. After the wine
last night, I need a coffee.

Could I have a white coffee, please?

And a pastry. Thank you very much.

Don't spill a drop of it.

It's not rice and beans.

So, what do you think the others
are up to?

Just relaxing around the fire doing
kind of the same thing we're doing.

I don't think they're doing
anything crazy.

They don't want to disappoint us.

Here we go.

How is it? Oh, my God.

Hold me.

That was an awakening for me.

I felt inspired to say,

"Yes, I wanted that coffee",
and that group there,

my friends, allowed me to have that.

Oh, my God.

If the other six could see me now,
they'd be disgusted in me.

Our camp here is just... It's party.

Thank you very much.
Thank you so much. Enjoy.

What they don't know is in 24 hours
we're bringing them back together.

They're gonna have to own
up to how much of the 300 grand

they've blown since the group split.

That's £2,000 so far and counting.

I ain't trying to sound mean,
but it is so nice without them.

All them other noisy people here.

It is a weird thought knowing they
got control of our money, though.

OK. We're gonna play a game
called things we miss from home.

I miss my girlfriends.

ALL: Aw!

I miss cooking.

Cooking!

I think the toughest moment of my
life so far was burying my husband.

He was only 52.

So, life is my motivation.

Getting up every morning
and going, "Yeah, I'm still here."

I just love life. I love it.

Playing music.

Oh, that's a good one.

It's been ten days since they left
civilisation

with only their
campmates to listen to.

So, we reckon they could use

something that puts the buzz
back into the camp -

a party in the jungle
with a silent disco.

An irresistible temptation
they can enjoy together.

Complete with live DJ, banging
playlist, food and drink.

What is that? What?

Woo!

Oh, my God!

First to be tempted by the party -

Carolynne's group.

It's like a festival. It is!

A party!

It's like a silent disco.
It is a silent disco.

Oh, my God - Beyonce!

The rider's mine.
And there's some bubbly!

Boys? You've got your lovely!

I want this pink one.

Oh, my God, cheese!
Oh, my God, there's brownies!

Fruit. Cheese and olives.

Guys, how much should
we put on this?

I think we just look and then
decide. Yeah, let's look and decide.

Turn that price!

3,500 group price.
Minimum three yeses to enjoy.

D'you know, that's not bad.
Yeah, for six of us.

For a group price.
How much does that work out at each?

That divided by six is what?

Not a lot. No.

All right, who's saying yes?

I don't know. I honestly don't know.

I don't know about this one.

I'm worried, like, what they might
say or what they might do.

I do think that at times
when temptations have been taken,

there has been hostility,
and it's made me feel like,

"Oh, you know, maybe
I can't take something again."

How often would you get

a silent disco in the middle of
South Africa with all of that?

Everything's included, though?

Yeah. Like, everything?
Yeah. Everything.

Oh, wow.

How much does that work out at each?

750.

It's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot.

Now I feel guilty suddenly taking
lots of stuff.

Worrying about other people's
reactions

I don't want to take the piss.

You're never gonna get
this again. Ever.

I don't think there's anything wrong
with a bit of temptation in life.

I thought I was allowed to have fun!

Especially if we've walked up
a humongous hill.

I say yes.

Nana?

I say yes!

I say yes.

THEY CHEER

MUSIC PLAYS QUIETLY

Woo! Woo! Woo! Love your moves.

Love your moves.

ALL: ♪ Cos tonight for
the first time

♪ Just about half past ten

♪ For the first time in history

♪ It's gonna start raining men

♪ It's raining men, hallelujah,
it's raining men. ♪

I've missed music, I've missed
partying, and we had some food!

Oh, my God. It's so good. Oh!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

This is what we've all been craving.

Some fun.

Let our hair, our short hair,
down and just embrace the moment.

Taking their fourth temptation
in less than 24 hours,

Yes, nana!

..Carolynne's group have blown five
and a half grand of the shared prize

pot since we divided the camp.

Priceless! Priceless! Priceless!

♪ It's m*rder on the dance floor...
Yeah, Nana!

♪ But you better not
k*ll the groove... ♪

The highlight of this temptation
has been this.

Seeing everyone so happy is, like,
really fuelling my soul.

I've never been to a silent
disco, so I've done it. Great.

I don't regret
any of the temptations I've taken.

To the girls and gays!
To health, wealth and to brie.

Cheers!

CHEERING IN DISTANCE

Who... What is that?

The other camp?

Sounds like it.
Sounds like people having fun.

If all that squealing is
the other camp,

there's no way
they're having that much fun.

THEY ALL LAUGH I have
never had that much fun in my life.

They've been going at it for, like,
15 minutes straight whooping.

You don't know what they've been
tempted with, though.

Probably a speaker.

Yeah, bit of music.

That sounds good.
Oh, I'll be fuming!

I love you all! I love you!
This is amazing!

I love you guys so much!
Girls and the gays!

CHEERING IN DISTANCE

Nana, twerk! Twerk, Nana!

Get that Nana WAP out!

If we were with the whole 12,
you would have, like, people

breathing down your neck a bit.

Like, "Don't do it.
You can get this... afterwards."

Yes, Nana!

Yeeeeah! Nana!

But you really can't, though.

Yes, Nana!

CHEERING IN DISTANCE

YEEEEAH!

WOOOOO!

MUSIC FADES TO A STOP

ALL: WOOOOO!

So happy that we did this.

That is a memory that I will
never forget.

Money well spent.

Bye! Thank you! Bye!

That was the best night ever,
ever, ever.

With Carolynne's group partied out,

James's group are about to be
offered the same temptation.

What, yo, this looks wavy, man.

Come on, let's have a look.

Come on, team. Whoa!

Oh, my God. What if it's a club?
What if there's c*ck?

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Oh, my God. Is that...?

Feel like I'm at Boomtown Festival,
bro. That does look very cool.

Oh, my God! It's a silent disco!

Jeez!

Yo, this place looks incredible.

SHE SINGS AND LAUGHS

Whoa. It's intense.
The fairy lights.

The disco ball.

Crazy what a little bit music can
do for the soul, I guess.

Hey! Hey! Tell 'em, Big.

You know, music's my weakness,
bruv. Oi!

Full moon party.
3,500 for all of us.

Minimum three yeses to enjoy.

Right, listen, listen, listen.

I know it's a lot, but we have made
it past the halfway mark together.

We have smashed it.

I don't know, you know, guys.

This has kind of got my head turned
a bit, man, I can't lie to you.

It's kind of a bit lit!

I want to take it.

It's just more me of a temptation,
party vibes.

We ain't spent nothing!
That's a lot of money, Trew.

Do you know what? I can turn
this down but... I don't want to.

..f*ck the money anymore, man,
it's not the money anymore, bro.

It isn't that expensive, you know?

But in the real world,
that IS expensive.

With the money, four grand, you know
what kind of party we can have?

We need three yeses.

Listen to this.

This is not the kinda music
I listen to,

so it's actually not
that appealing to me.

What, a silent disco
in the forest of South Affie?

I mean, it sounds cool,
but it's just I...

It's a lot of money.

Yeah, but think of all
the temptations we've turned down.

It's more than that money.
Let's celebrate that, we're halfway!

We're all being slowed down.

It takes minimum three yeses, right?
Yeah.

So if I said yes
for the whole group...

I'm a no. I'm gonna say no.

I can't do it, I can't do it.
I can't say yes, Trew.

I don't want it.

What? I hate...!

Do we think they took it?
No. No, absolutely not.

I reckon James saw it and said,

"We can have ten parties
for that price when we get back!"

For 3,500? I can have 19 parties.

I get where Trewley's coming from.
I do, I absolutely understand.

I get it, too. Listen, whatever.
It is what it is.

Let's go back to the f*cking tent

and let's cry about
how sh*t everything is.

It was clear that of all
the temptations we've had so far,

that was the temptation
that Trewley really wanted.

It's f*cking bullshit, bruv!

We'll party when the job is done,

and that's the lesson
I'm trying to teach them.

I just thought to myself, like,

we ain't been offered
nothing like that as a group,

and I thought, "Oh, my God, yes!"

There's a lot of ego in this.

There's a lot of journeys
and like real deep thoughts,

and I think when the music played,
that was just forgotten,

and it was nice for a split second,

so I feel like
if we was all together,

we would all had the same...
you know, fun experience.

If it was the group of 12, yeah,

you'd have more numbers of people
that would probably be up for it.

I'm sick of all the...

"Look how expensive it is,
it's a lot of money."

In the experiment,
it's not a lot of money.

As of this moment,
the wolf pack said no.

If they said no,
then I'm rolling with the no.

Loyal to the corps.

I wish we had
the f*cking full-moon party.

Oh, my God, I hate everyone!

So the first week we were here,

I didn't take any temptations.
I didn't have any...

You know,
I missed out on experiences

that would have just been
so amazing because... Same here.

..I felt oppressed, erm... Yeah.

..and that I would be judged
if I took anything.

We couldn't have fun -
now we are having fun.

Yeah! It's like we finally got free.

My only worries is when
we are all together again...

They will be livid.

Slightly hungover.

It was a lot of food and alcohol.

I didn't think
you guys were gonna finish it.

And we did! You finished it just as
much we did. Yes, I know I did!

I think the other six
will be shocked

that all six people in our group
took the temptation.

Honestly, I didn't want it to end,
I wish it just kept going.

Got to hike today, haven't we?

So... don't want to be hiking
with my sore head.

Since we split the camp,

Carolynne's group
has been living it up,

blowing 5,500 of their shared
prize pot in just 28 hours.

But later today, they're going to
have to face James' group,

who haven't spent a penny.

What do you reckon the other guys
will say when they find out?

Oh, the sh*t
is going to hit the fan.

When they do find out
we have taken the temptation,

I think they're actually
going to have a visceral reaction

and probably start crying,
sh1tting and vomiting.

I just want you guys to be prepared
for the emotional... blackmail.

You shouldn't have come
to an experiment

where 11 other people are
in control of your money.

But it's not their money,
it's not our money.

It's their potential prize fund.
Yeah.

I honestly wonder
if they have taken any temptations,

even like little ones.

They're going to be so miserable
if they haven't.

Guys? We got the magical map
for the day.

Oh! Da-da-da! Let's have a look.

Mountains,

mountains, mountains...

And then a few more mountains.
..mountains.

To get to their next camp,

both groups will be taking
the same gruelling seven-hour trek

through dense, thorny forest

and over steep rocky mountains.

That is gonna to be
a really, really f*cking hard day.

Let's get it!

Guys, watch out for
the little sticky, pointy thingies.

They are a b*tch!

Push through. Ah!

Get impaled. Aaah!

There's feather boas
being left everywhere.

Everybody OK back there?

I want a chocolate muffin!

I need rest!

The alcohol hasn't helped the walk.

So it's like a really big struggle.

We've got this, guys, come on,
we can do it.

Every little step,

we're getting closer and closer,
right?

I think the worst part of accepting
a temptation is the wrath,

and we're aware that we are gonna
be coming back,

at some point surely,
with the other group.

Not gonna be walking fast today.

Take our time.

Oh, mother...!

What? Sorry, mate.

We can keep taking breaks like this.

Yeah. Is that all right?
Yeah, of course.

We're all tired,
we're all low on energy.

We've just got to... preserve it

and get to the next checkpoint.

Just hard. Energy's low.

Where are all these pink feathers
coming from?

There's another one of
them pink feathers, mate.

Unless they've been here already?

But who's wearing pink feathers?

That's some tough terrain, man.

You OK, Trew? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You sure? Uh-huh.

Just take your time, we'll chill
here for a few minutes, OK?

Whereabouts are we?

So we're over halfway.

I've got no energy, like none.

Going strong, though, guys,
going strong. Absolutely.

At least we're struggling together,
eh?

Yep. That's what we're here for -
to struggle, to feel the pain.

Discipline.

I want another temptation, frankly.

SHE STRAINS AND SIGHS

Ah, mother...!

It's just really hard today.

I don't think it's just the few
beers or whatever from last night.

I think this is objectively

the hardest thing
that we've had to do so far.

This is the hardest day.
I'm on the brink of death!

Aah! Lani, I love you very much,
girl.

But at this point in time,
I'd sell you for a bed.

Ah!

I would sell... Michelle for a bed.

OK. And Jack for a burger.

f*cking hell!

Later today,
both teams will come face-to-face,

but not before they're offered

the more extravagant
and expensive temptation yet.

A luxury glamping hotel.

Complete with six king-size beds,

breakfast, tea, biscuits,

and even new pyjamas.

But at three grand a bed,

if everyone opted for the temptation
of a good night's sleep,

they could potentially blow
18 grand of the shared prize pot.

Ah! You all right? Yeah.

It's gruelling, mate.

Oh! Every single plant
or branch out here

is just so defensive, man,
like seven-inch thorns.

Oh, you f*cking b*tch!

Why the hell do you keep
getting stuck in branches?!

Push, push, push, push!

No, stop, stop, I got it.
That was a...

Ah!

Gee, look at that!

Oh, my God! A hotel! No...!

Oh, bloody hell!

SHE SCREAMS

Oh, my God...

Wait, how many are there?
One, two, three, four, there's six.

So it's going to be all of us.

Oh, my God, it's a bit of me.

Oh, my God, there's chocolates
and sweets and crisps and...

Yeah... Hobnobs!

Oh, my God! This is too much,
I want a bed each.

Two three, four... I want to
read it so bad. There's a bed each.

This is my dream.

A hotel with a double bed

with this view?!

Oh, my God, there's earplugs,
there's earplugs! Pyjamas!

Oh, this would be so nice.

I've kind of really thought a lot

about how guilty I felt taking
the first temptation.

I really would love this.

And I think I am learning
a bit more about myself -

like, it's time to do things
for yourself

and not worry about everybody.

Go on, then. Read it, Michelle.
Read it, read it, read it!

All right, the Book of Temptations.
Are we ready?

Yeah! OK.

"Welcome to the hotel -
rooms are available.

"Enjoy a luxurious double bed with
continental breakfast..."

THEY GASP

And then we just need
to look at the price.

OK, I'm going to do the big reveal!
OK, here we go.

It is...

..3,000 per double bed.

18 grand if we have a bed each.

This is insane.

This is just too expensive,

this is too extravagant.

We're literally meant to be, like...
meant to be living in the slums,

and now we are being offered
this hotel.

As much as I want this...

..I don't know whether I can.

I'm desperate for this, guys,
I'm absolutely desperate for this.

As much as I'd want to,

and the chocolates are getting me,
I don't need this.

It's a lot.

Yeah, it's a lot.

We could share beds!

It'd be nine, nine.

It feels very naughty.

You just know that people
are going to kick off

and the main group are gonna...

..not be very happy with us.

To me, looking out over this,
you've got the bug nets round it...

I just want to
take a look around again.

You've got to think you're never
gonna get this again, ever.

I started off with this, "I'm not
gonna take any temptations,"

but as time has gone on, it's...

..you've got to look at things
as value for money,

are you ever going to do it again?

I'm never going to do this again.

OK, I'm taking it.

I'd prefer to share with someone,

so it splits it and it's fair.

It's a lot of money, I don't think
the other team will be very happy.

We really struggled today,
it was really hard.

So, like, we just need
this so we can get our energy back,

so that we can make it
to the finish line.

All it takes is three people
to do it at the end of the day,

so I've said yes... I've said yes.

I want to do it.
I don't care, I want to do it.

I'm doing it.

So basically there's three beds -
if you want to stay, you can.

If you want to walk, you can walk,
it's up to you!

Well, it doesn't look like
we've got much choice.

LAUGHTER

Oh... I was coerced!

It wasn't my decision,
I had no other option.

I had no other option
but to throw myself in bed

and start stuffing my face
with biscuits.

THEY ALL CHEER

We've spent 15 grand in two days,
that's mental!

We've been very naughty.

Guys, we're gonna have to come back
to them and say, "We've spent 15K."

We're going to hell in a handbasket.

Oh, my God,
if the other team arrive,

it's going to be an expl*si*n.

It will be...

It will be carnage.

Oh, no...

Deep breath, everyone.

f*ck's sake, this ain't promising.

Cheers! Cheers! Cookie! Yummy!

Well, here's to
continuing to be weak.

They're going to
lose their minds at this.

They will be livid at us
for taking it

and the silent disco

and the wine

and the coffee.

Fire's going.

What the fu...?!

SHE GASPS

Oh...!

Oh, my God!

Hello. Hi.

Hi, guys.

After keeping the group
split for two days,

we've reunited them

at our most extravagant
temptation yet -

a luxury glamping hotel.

We've got the fire going
and the water. How've you been?

How was today? It was hard, right?

Very hard.

Carolynne's group have gone
on a spending spree.

Again.

They've just blown nine grand
of the shared prize pot

on three double beds.

"Welcome to the hotel.

"Rooms are available,
3,000 per double bed."

TREWLEY SIGHS

As banging as this looks, I'm good.

And me. And me.

What are you guys saying
about the temptation?

We've already taken it.
We've taken it.

You're joking.

That's 18 grand you
just spent on a bed.

No, no, we're sharing.

So still nine?

Yeah. Yeah.

Excellent.

I'm glad you guys
made that decision.

Some of them had very smug faces.

I just find it irritating.

Listen, you can't judge the weak
of willpower people

for taking the temptation.
LANI: We're not weaker.

Don't know about that,
milkshake girl.

I completely regret that decision.

I've just realised now
we've f*cked it,

for now it is definitely,
like, two teams.

Ten grand is a lot to spend.

Like, it's a lot to spend
on essentially three beds.

It's not done yet, I promise you.

Ridiculous.

That's nearly ten grand.

This is what we're dealing with.

I don't even want to ask
if they took the other temptations,

How much money did they spend?

Aw, I got tempted with a
phone call to my ma.

No! LANI: Did you have it?

Nah. Didn't you?

Yeah, I was crying.

I did, I spoke to
the people looking after Annie.

What about the disco?

We took the silent disco. You did?

Yeah. You took that as well?

Yeah. sh*t, so yous have gone on
a little shopping spree?

Well, I wouldn't say a little one.

I'd say we have had
a fantastic couple of days.

I feel like they've
mugged everyone off.

And it's the way they're sitting
there so proud about it.

They did the disco.
They took it as well?

They took the what?
The disco as well.

Three and a half grand,

so that's over, like, they spent,
like, 15 grand on their own.

Hey, you guys took the disco, too?!

Yeah. Yeah!

Lovely.

I'm upset.

Not for myself.

I'm upset for the five other people
who are on my team

who have sacrificed and have endured

the same hardship that they have.

But every time things get tough,

they take the easy way out.

Every single time.

Nine grand for a bed, guys?

f*ck me.

It's your smug little faces
that I don't like, though.

It's the way that you're all
sitting there bare smug.

It's just a bit, like, distasteful.

Well, sorry you feel
like that, Charlie,

but we weren't smug.
I don't think anyone's being smug.

We weren't. It was.

I know you guys don't wanna
spend the money,

but that's six people saying
they wanna spend something

and six people saying
they don't want spend anything.

You've got to come to a
middle ground at some point.

You're putting what you want
onto us.

No, I'm not. I haven't put...

But you are. You're telling me
that I shouldn't do this,

I shouldn't spend nine grand -
or we shouldn't do this.

No, no, you shouldn't.
You did the disco as well.

I just think it's a
bit like balance it out,

but yous have gone on a bit
of a rampage.

This separation we've had,

it's changed the dynamic.

They now can't dictate

which way everybody thinks.

We're now making our own decisions

and we're standing up for ourselves.

I don't feel guilty.

I don't feel smug.

They could be in there with us.

But that's their choice.

Where we've all gone wrong
from the start,

we kinda feel like we were
in, like, a dictatorship,

in the sense that
we were never asked.

We should all be able
to make our own decisions, babe.

I'm not saying you shouldn't. But
we need to talk about it as a group.

But there's no point saying
"let's talk about it" now.

You guys just spunked
almost 15 grand.

Like, what the f*ck?

15,000.

I'm tired of being
the people pleaser.

I never do anything
for myself, ever,

and I wanted to do something for
myself where I didn't feel so bad.

Like, when is it my turn?

I'm just saying, we're all doing
these f*cking hard treks... Yep.

all together and it's
f*cking hard, right?

Yeah. Yeah. I need something.

I need something
to get me through this.

What, a spa party, a bed,
the phone call?

No. Listen... But you could do that
outside of this environment

and not spend other people's money.
No, and I know I could quit.

No, I know. But when is the next
time I'm gonna be in South Africa

doing these treks and having
these temptations offered?

It's such hard work.

You need something

to keep you going, right?

And I am now understanding

that it is OK to... treat yourself

here and there to make it through.

It pisses me off.

I f*cking turned down
a call from my child.

I know. I know. I know. I know.

We all did.

I'm feeling really upset

because I didn't take a phone call

from my child

cos I didn't want to take
from everyone else.

And it's just, like,
the reaction, instead of being like,

"I'm really sorry,
but I needed this,"

to be like, "How dare you
tell me I can't have it..."

..is just hurtful.

CHARLIE SIGHS

I'm not gonna spend any more money

than I'd be happy
other people spending.

Man, you said that after the spa,
like, it softens you up.

You all just spent too much
time with this one, innit?

CAROLYNNE: No, no... That's what I
think. LANI: It's nothing to do with me.

The thing is about Lani,
she's been real from the jump.

I find it weird walking in there

and these are the same people

that was telling her to go home

and were saying, "Oh, she's gonna

spend all our money."

You're literally doing
what she's doing.

The thing is, now what?

We struggled a lot
today on the trek, right?

I'm sure you did, too.

So a lot of us thought we can't get
through the next few days.

We need the bed.

We need the breakfast.

It's also about trying to get
to the finish line for some of us.

You didn't need your make-up
for the finish line, did you?

That's personal reasons you'd never
understand cos you're not me.

I'm glad I'm not you, to be fair.
And I'm glad I'm not you.

Why would I wanna be like you?
You're a sheep.

I'm a sheep? I'm a sheep? Yeah...

I'm the only one stood up to you
when you got that milkshake.

You're still a sheep... Says you,
the one telling everyone

to take temptations.
I feel like you're a sheep.

Let me... I'm not a sheep.
I'm strong-minded. No, no, no, no.

I don't think you are. That's OK. I
feel... But the thing is about you,

coming from a girl...
Let me speak. Let me speak.

Let me tell you why
you're weak, yeah?

..who couldn't keep up with the
pack. You flip-flop with your opinion.

When you're with other people, you
tell them it's OK to take a temptation.

When you're around other people, you
change your opinion. I told you...

It's the way, it's distasteful. You
flip-flop. I feel like you're influenced,

depending on who's
group you're with.

That's why I think you're weak.

But I've never took a temptation,
so I've always stayed by it.

No, but sometimes... Even when I've
wanted to, I've always stuck by it.

Sometimes, you're the most
conflicted person

in this whole experiment.

At least some people
stay with one opinion.

You flip-flop. Nah, that's not true.
So how are you strong?

That's not true. Michelle, you were
one of the strongest-minded people

in here until you f*cking
went on that spa

and then she changed up.

So, like, you can say conflictions,
but at the end of the day,

that's part of this journey.
You go up and down, yeah?

But I've still not
taken a temptation.

No, but you literally...
Go up and down?

Darling, you see
that milkshake night?

You literally spoke to me literally
20 minutes before that

and you said you'd be happy
to be taking home 20 grand.

That was 20 minutes before.
Then I had the milkshake,

you're telling me to go home.
You're a flip-flopper.

How can you change your mind
in 20 minutes?

What was your reason for taking the milkshake?
How can you change your mind in 20 minutes?

What was your reason
for taking a milkshake?

You got upset cos
you felt unappreciated

and then you bought
a vanilla milkshake.

You are just upset
cos you're a flip-flopper.

You're a flip-flopper.

She's truly strong-minded
and she has her own opinion.

You have other people's opinion.
What? What d'you mean?

I said from the start... One minute you're the wolf
g*ng, then one minute you're saying something else.

You're a sheep. You literally
live in James' arsehole.

You live right in there!

I said from the start...
You think you're strong,

but you're not strong... I wouldn't
take a temptation. You're a flip-flopper.

I've not taken a temptation.
But you're still a flip-flopper.

How am I a flip-flopper? Charlie,
this is entirely unproductive.

Let's go take a breather, yeah?

Thank you.

BANGING

CAROLYNNE: OK. Charlie's
beating up the buckets.

Oh, no, I wouldn't do that.
Don't do that.

You're a grown woman.
You're a grown arse woman.

You come in here going, "Haha,
Charlie's kicking up buckets."

Because it's immature, Trewley.
Because he's annoyed.

You just spent ten grand of the
f*cking money on f*cking beds!

What the f*ck?! What reaction
do you f*cking want from him?!

You all right, Charlie?

I can't believe I'm just in that.

When I see them sitting there
being all smug,

it just pisses me off, man.

It's how you were feeling, though.

I mean, that's genuinely
how you were feeling.

You weren't the only one shouting.

CHARLIE SIGHS
They said they'd spend wisely.

They said they wouldn't
take the piss.

But I think it's more that
they've just gone against everything

they said they'd do.

It is unreasonable to say,
"I wanted every single penny."

And it would be unreasonable to take
every single temptation as well.

Absolutely, yeah. Yes. Absolutely.

And we are doing...
So they do just have to accept it,

but it does feel shitty.

It's one of the weirdest
experiments I've ever encountered

because I'm torn

and I feel so guilty.

Like, I just...

It's eating me inside.

It makes me sick.

Like, you know,
money is a vile thing.

I don't know why it just
triggered me so much, though.

I don't, I'm trying to understand
where the emotions are coming from.

I think when you go through
all of it, you're worn down,

your emotions are affected

because your body's tired as well.

And yeah, so it just amplifies

how you're feeling a bit.

It is really hard.
This is really hard.

I didn't realise, like...
No, I didn't either.

A, the physical aspect,
but B, the emotional -

feeling guilty for 11 other people
that you actually don't know.

It's really hard. Hm.

I'm just trying to get by
the 18 days.

Everyone has different priorities.

There's might be
to finish with 25 grand.

Mine is not.
Mine is to finish the process.

And right now
I'm finding it incredibly hard.

And if I need a few temptations
to get me through,

then I don't think that that's,
like, something to be shameful of.

In my wildest dreams,
if you'd said to me

I would be sleeping in a hotel

with a wide open vista
of the South African savannah...

It's priceless.

This is absolutely priceless.

Don't get me wrong,
those beds look amazing.

Well, you know,
they've got tea, though,

and they've got breakfast tomorrow.

Well, guess what?

CHUCKLING: We've got rice and beans.
And water.

Jesus, I can feel my body already,
it's gone into relaxation.

Comfortable.

CAROLYNNE EXHALES DEEPLY

JAMES: I'd just feel
ashamed sitting in there

and looking at you guys out here.

Got a 50-year-old man out there,

while I'm sitting on
this nice, comfortable bed.

That takes some real
sh*t there, boy.

DISTANT CALLING: Night!

It's a fascinating experiment.

Next time on Tempting Fortune...

ALL: Ooh!
WHOOPING

It's so divided. You can't expect
people to be in good spirits

when they've gone on
a bit of a shopping spree.

As the money evaporates,

there's a bombshell in store.

James, I see him
putting it in his pocket.

I was like, "Wow."

It was just a bit sneaky
to come at night and take it.

You're basically the same
as everyone else.

I'm built different.

He needs to practise
what he preaches.

I don't like the way
they came at me right there.

LANI: Ah, f*ck!

f*ck, ah!

Ah, it's stabbing me!

Now the game's changed.

sh*t!

CAROLYNNE SOBS Come on.

Whoa, that looks like a proper bar.

MICHELLE SQUEALS
Michelle is one of the most selfish,

inconsiderate people

I've ever met in my entire life.

To taking temptations.
THEY LAUGH
