Superstar Treasure Island ep two: Dame Susan Devoy’s secret feud revealed

REVIEW:

Are you aware what my favorite factor about Superstar Treasure Island is?

Studying the abilities of the solid.

Mangō’s Te Kohe Tuhaka can catch a crab along with his eyes (virtually) closed, Dylan Schmidt can do the splits and Courtenay Louise? Effectively, she will be able to try a handstand, fail, then brush it off as a very awkward model of the worm.

If solely this was essentially the most entertaining a part of tonight’s episode. Buckle in Kiwis, the drama is simply beginning.

After the unofficial expertise present, we kick the episode off with a problem that may solely be described as spiderweb netball.

I used to be about to skip forward as a result of something spider associated offers me the chills however then host Matt Chisholm tells the celebs that the successful group will get a fishing package and await it … Dame Susan Devoy.

Sure, our favorite squash participant and the primary intruder is able to enter the sport and he or she’s stoked, I am stoked, everyone seems to be stoked … nicely virtually everybody however extra on that quickly.

Devoy is pleased as a result of not solely did she say sayonara to psychological well being advocate Mike King and former All-Black Rob Cribb – who have been in all probability doing her head in with their bro chat – however she can also be getting into the sport as a captain.

Chisholm explains that whichever group wins the problem will determine what group Devoy joins and subsequently turns into captain of.

It is a transfer that has everybody’s feathers ruffled – all besides Kuaka’s comic Man Montgomery who regarded like Santa Clause had simply arrived.

“This girl is a weapon,” he enthusiastically grinned.

Mangō wins the problem they usually – sorry, Tuhaka, determine Devoy will be part of Kauri which kicks their captain Lynette Forday and her sassy sparkly scarf to the facet and surprisingly upsets each Melodie Robinson and Devoy.

“They in all probability thought let’s throw one other stroppy girl right into a group that is already bought an entire lot of stroppy ladies and see how that seems,” Devoy advised the confession cam.

As for why Robinson is down within the dumps about her new teammate, it’s revealed over at camp Kuaka by radio host, Alex King that Devoy and Robinson have butted heads a couple of times.

“So understanding Mel exterior of the present, I do know that she’s had some disagreements with Dame Susan Devoy, and I additionally suppose TK knew that as nicely.” she smized.

However earlier than we get to any Imply Ladies-style confrontation, Mangō has some scores to settle.

Businesswoman Cassie Roma will get again to camp and immediately goes in on Tuhaka as a result of he voiced the group’s resolution as an alternative of their captain, Boss Babe, Iyia Liu and all I can consider is how Mangō is similar to District two within the Starvation Video games.

No room for egos while you’re within the Starvation Video games or no matter President Snow mentioned.

“It was essential for me to take possession,” Tuhaka says however Roma is not having it. She pulls Louise and Liu for a chat and sternly tells her captain, “Take everybody’s opinion however you get to make a name.”

Louise shortly realises it is time to ditch her vocation as an newbie dancer and slip into her new function as a hype lady, “We’ll again you.” She says to Liu.

Whereas it was supposed to be a really women-empowering ladies chat, Liu did not precisely respect being advised what to do. She is a boss babe, in spite of everything, and is aware of precisely how one can deal with her employees – sorry, teammates.

Chatting with the confession cam she admits, “I believe Cassie was very fast to defend me but when I really did need to discuss I might have mentioned one thing.”

“And that is how a boss babe does it,” I write in my pocket book.

Lastly, the producers give us what we wish and pan again to group Kauri to see how the most recent group member is settling in.

The reply? Effectively, the jury continues to be out.

Devoy waltzed into the camp along with her captain stick and, with no second thought, she eats the group’s final can of spaghetti. Cue the tragic music.

Dancer Elvis Lopeti is internally crying whereas ZM’s Cam Mansel is getting nervous. He is aware of he’s surrounded by a bunch of strong-headed ladies, and he does not know what is going to occur subsequent.

“Are all of them going to butt heads? That is the largest query on our minds proper now,” he nervously laughs to the confession cam.

Nevertheless it’s very chill. Robinson grabs Devoy they usually take a beautiful stroll alongside the seashore. Simply two previous frenemies catching up and plotting towards everybody.

Acquired to maintain your folks shut and your enemies nearer. I see you, Devoy, I see you.

We conclude the sport with a captains’ problem the place the three captains are learn a truth, they usually must guess who it is about.

Everybody was anticipating Devoy to lose as a result of she is so new to the sport and barely is aware of anybody however come on group, she’s a Dame. That entitles her to FBI-level data on each single certainly one of you.

“What’s she, a blimmin detective? She’s come to arrest us or one thing?” Kuaka’s Shimpal Lelisi mentioned.

He will sleep with one eye open any longer, I can inform.

Devoy wins the problem and features her group the chance to steal a successful group’s reward.

“Snaps for Susan,” Lopeti sasses.
