This season premiered on September 18, 2023, and aired weekly, Monday to Wednesday, at 7:30 PM on TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+, hosted by Bree Tomasel and Jayden Daniels.[3]

James Mustapic won the treasure hunt on Day 18, taking $100,000 for Gender Minorities Aotearoa.[4] Courtney Dawson and Turia Schmidt-Peke were the other two finalists. This season raised $170,000 across nine various charities across New Zealand. James was the only person in history who had not competed in any elimination challenge and won the treasure hunt on his first attempt.[5]

Castaways

Eighteen celebrities[6][7] were separated into two tribes with te reo Māori names based on fauna of New Zealand: Kārearea (New Zealand falcon) and Tohorā (Eubalaena australis), including the merged tribe as Weka (Gallirallus australis).[8]

For the first time in the game's history, the Captain's Coup was introduced. The day's winning team gets to pick a member from the losing team to go up against their captain. If the captain loses, they lose their captaincy, given to their teammate. If they win, they get to keep it.

  • Day 1 – Matt was chosen by Kārearea to go against his captain, Matilda. Matilda retained her captaincy.
  • Day 4 – James was chosen by Kārearea to go against his captain, Matilda. James won the coup.
  • Day 7 – Tohorā chose Eli to go against his captain, Jordan. Eli won the coup.
  • Day 8 – Tohorā used the block advantage card against Kārearea, who used the mercy card to save Jordan from elimination.
  • Day 10 – Teams entered the face-off, which ended as an individual immunity, and both teams merged. Nick won the first individual face-off.
  • Day 16 – Courtney won the face-off and placed herself in the elimination challenge. She won her spot in the final three.
