It is open war between Base Camp (men) and Snake Rock Camp (women) after the most publicised Scott Henshall and Phina’s violent wrestling match. Scott’s stories of Phina’s attack worsening with each telling and the disgraced Phina Orusche wanting to go home. As does the poor starving David, showing his chubby torso for all to see, woefully declaring himself skinny and dramatically warning that people have died after a week of no food, much to Jason Donovan’s amusement. The men were down to rice for all meals, refusing to eat the beans and the women were chewing raw beans, tasting of crayons (Phina getting violently ill) as if they were peanuts, as they did not have the energy to cook them.

Scott and Jan Leeming set off, hand in hand, to tackle Bushtucker trial ‘Catch a Falling Star’. They were dropped out of a plane 14,000 ft above the ground with parachutes opening at 12,000 ft and being held, from the back, by an experienced person. Although both were terrified, they did not show it as they plunged to the ground, Jan first, catching colourful flares (stars) on their way down. Jan won with 4 stars, Scott getting 2 of the six shot out to each of them, from the plane. Scott returned to camp with a suffering male ego, once again beaten by a woman, where a desperately hungry David Gest asked which woman they should barbeque first! The women enjoyed a banquet of tropical sea food after Phina led her fellow campers into wholeheartedly singing ‘For She’s a Jolly Good Fellow’ to a gratified Jan. There was concern for the hungry men, with Jan, opposed by Phina, suggesting that they let the men win the tucker chest.

Dean Gaffney and Malandra Burrows (called a Jungle Rat by her ex best friend whose family she is rumoured to have torn apart after a four year affair with her husband, according to ‘The Irish People’ newspaper) set off for the battle of the tucker chest. They had to climb rope ladders and swing out from a tree, to grab at the dangling key to the chest. After three valiant attempts, (Malandra, half-heartedly climbing no more than two rungs), Dean carried the chest triumphantly back to a jubilant six starving men. Sad to say they did not get the question right (who has the highest IQ, men or women?) In their shamed state, they said women, to live another foodless day (besides rice). We leave the men in a huddle with their arms around each singing ‘Always look on the bright side’.

Bug eating, Bushtucker Jewel, is the next trial coming up, with Jan and Scott once again, chosen by the public to battle it out for the ‘winner takes all’. Will her sympathy and horror at eating the creepy crawlies and worse, get Jan to let Scott win?????
