Day 1
It's their first day and time for their very first challenge. They all have to do a parachute jump from a plane. The group is split up in two groups of five. Each group goes in a different plane. John, Julie, David, Paul and Zi have done this before, so they aren't very scared. But the others are, especially Gloria. She doesn't wan't to let the team down, but is too afraid. David tells her she doesn't have to jump if she doesn't want to. But Gloria pulls herself together and jumps anyway. £10,000 won.

Again they split up in two and each group goes in a different car. One car drives to the airport, where Julie, John, Gloria, Jo-anne and David have to repack their luggage into another, smaller rucksack. Everyone has to leave at least one item behind. After that, they are given the luggage of the other five and they get 7 minutes to repack those suitcases. Gloria has problems with Zi's bag and Julie wastes lots of time trying to get into Jennifer's suitcase.

Then the other five contestants come in again. They have to guess which item the others did not repack. They have to have three items right for £5,000. Oliver thinks they didn't repack a pair of black socks. He's wrong. Zi thinks it's his combats, but he's wrong too. The others have to guess correct in order to win the money now. Paul thinks it's his walkman speakers, but he's wrong too. Their first challenge that failed.

Day 2
At 3.00am, Zi is taken hostage and taken to another place. The next morning the others find out they have to find Zi. They got maps and had to divide in three groups:
Boat: Oliver, David and Sara
Helicopter: John, Paul and Jo
Car: Gloria, Julie and Jennifer
Each gets a phone to contact Zi and the other two groups.
They have 2 and a half hours for this challenge to win £10,000. If they break any law during the search, they will get disqualified.
John phones a firend of him to ask for advice. He sends them to the north west of the island, which is the wrong way. On the maps they got, there's a place labbelled Mole Verclut Point. No one saw that.
They have half an hour left and Paul decides to phone Zi. Zi is told that the others each have to find a key in their vehicle and he tells this to Paul, who tells it to the other two groups. Everyone starts searching. John finds a key under his seat, Jennifer finds one in the passenger seat pocket and Sara finds the key in an ice bucket. But they still have to arrive at the place Zi is held captive. When Paul phones Zi again, Zi tells him he can hear a helicopter. Jo-anne suggest he gives a signal and Zi starts waving his sleeping bag through the window. A few minutes later, Oliver tries to contact Zi, but he can't reach him. The phone didn't connect, although there was a network signal. The helicopter team sees Zi and warns the others.
The other teams soon arrive and they rescue Zi before they run out of time. £10,000 won! Or not... It turns out that Jennifer had broken a law, so they get disqualified for the challenge.
