"Well done Holly, that's all 5 stars. You will all be eating a main meal tonight. Well done! And that's all of your BushTucker trials over."

"We'll let you go back to camp and tell the boys the news. Have a great final day and we will see you tomorrow morning."

Holly P.O.V

"Yo, yo, yo!" I exclaim, skipping enthusiastically through the trees back into the main camp. "Guess who's eating tonight?"

"Who?" Iain answers in a sarcastic tone, cracking a small grin. "I wonder who Holly! Please tell us."

"We are!" I point. "I got the 5 stars baby," grinning from cheek to cheek, Jamie and Iain rush over, giving high-fives and warming hugs. Crouching back beside the fire, I explain, "you're never gonna believe what I ate!"

"Penis?" Jamie shoots. "Brain? Testicle?"

"All of those things," I giggle, "pigs - vagina."

"Gross," Jamie scrunches his face, going a little pale when picking up his water bottle and asking what it tastes like.

"Yoghurt," I nod, "fish, rotten egg and salt all mixed into one."

"So not like pork?" Iain jokes. Watching Jamie face the music, standing and grabbing his hat, ready to embark on his own challenge, we give him a wave and good luck before he heads off. "Final three Holly!"

"How mad is that?"

The public has been picking up their phones, calling and texting the number on my back, just to see me hang around for their entertainment.

"Do you reckon they hate us, or they think we're entertaining?" I ask Iain, lounging around beside my hammock.

Iain grins, "probably a little bit of both."

Conducting a few chores that Jamie and I didn't get to finish, playing small little games and reminiscing about the memories of our jungle life, I start to miss a few of the campmates. Jack. Vanessa. Becky. Stanley.

"Jack is probably at the hotel now," Iain shrugs life he's miraculously read my thoughts, "having a warm shower, watching himself back on the TV."

"Have you had a good three weeks Iain?"

"The best." He nods. "You?"

"Better."

That night...

With Jamie heroically returning to camp with a brilliant five stars - from a trial where he was trapped in a pit of jungle pythons - we all decide on our courses for the final feast.

Packing my clothes in my bag, getting ready for our departure back to normality, I rustle through my bag. Right at the bottom, are the clothes I wore into the jungle. That day on the plank where the harness was so tight, where I thought I would fall but Jack was right beside me.

"Shall we take the other stuff to the telegraph?"

Accepting Jamie's idea, I grab a few things from all over camp. Dennis's hat. Becky's pillow. Jennie's jacket and Kez's spare socks. Following Jamie, we both dump the clothes on the bench, but when returning, the camp seems bigger.
