• Comment: Nothing appears to have been done to address the issues raised in the last review.
  NZ Herald should be treated as a single source, Nga Taonga does not have SIGCOV of the subject, TVNZ is not independent of the subject, and YouTube is not a reliable source (the episodes are also primary sources). MangoMan11 (talk) 07:32, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: We need more reliable sources that covers the subject significantly. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:57, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

The season was won by John "Horse" McLeod after winning the Treasure Hunt against Paul Irwin in a dramatic finale to win the prize of $30,000.^[4][5] A notable incident happened when the SAS trained contestant Barrie "Baz" Rice was eliminated and refused to leave instead of hiding in the jungle. Because of previous threats made to rival contestants, a security warning was issued to other competitors. He eventually returned from the jungle and left the island.^[6]
