Three weeks in and three women down, the women’s island shows barely any sign of progress. The earlier euphoria of making a meal out of their pet pigs has worn off and, having to survive on just 200 calories a day, hunger is tearing away at the group.

But to hell with hunting, fishing or even building beds, Abby decides to give the girls a little pampering session, setting up a parlour to DIY dye the girls’ hair blue…

It’s been days since they turned their pet piglets into roasted dinner and the hunger is really taking its toll. The women are back to eating, well, anything they found laying around – mainly coconut scraps and old yucca plants.

And so they go on the hunt for limpets, adamant to find some nutritious food for Georgina, who’s throwing up her insides (the yucca probably doesn’t wet her palate).

Belinda is concerned about the group’s rapid weight loss and so holds a weigh-in session to keep tabs on the seriously malnourished women.

Collectively the group have lost more than 10 stone and while Chavala celebrates her dramatic weight loss on the island, Georgina isn’t as ecstatic.

“I just don’t find starvation a sexy way to get skinny,” she snaps, and she’s not the only one…

Struggling with her aching back, Abby makes the tough decision to become the fourth woman to leave the island and, while most of us were pretty distraught, we also couldn’t help but wonder one thing…

With the departure of Abby, the team decide enough is enough and set out some animal traps in the hopes of catching a protein-laden meal for the gang – and low and behold they manage to snare a huge pig. Or did they?

Before they repeat Sage and Onion’s ordeal with the poor new pig, they hold an hour debate about who has to carry out the daunting deed of slaughtering the animal and while they’re busy yapping away the piggy escape their grasps.

Having failed at yet another attempt to hunt a decent meal, for the first time since they put their feet in the sand the women FINALLY set up some fishing nets in the hopes of catching fish.

“Unless you’re wanting to survive on shredded old bits of coconut and the old yucca plant, then it’s time to face up to the facts that we’re going to have to maybe get a bit brutal,” Lauren says and leads Beth and Belinda out on yet another hunting trip.

Before they delved too deep into the jungle, they spot a boa constricter curled around a branch. One discussion and a few stabs of the machete later, they women are able to chuck a decapitated snake into their bucket.

And it was obviously their lucky day as, on the way back to camp, the trio come a across a snoozing boar – the obvious remedy to cure their hunger pangs…

The gruelling hours of hunting proved to be a success as Lauren, Belinda and Beth march back to camp with enough food to last them for days.
