THE REST Laura Daniel: Milk Chocolate Digestivesĭaniels’ answer started in a different realm of the biscuit-verse before she settled on the traditional Digestive. “Sign of a follower rather than a leader? Perhaps.” “An interesting move to choose your dad’s favourite biscuit as your own,” she opined. However, Chapman noted a specific detail in Afoa’s answer – “they are so good and have they the nostalgic thing because they are my dad’s favourite biscuit” – that gave her cause for concern. “Whether they have a buttery biscuit bottom is another matter entirely.” “Toffee Pops know how good they are, and these confident castaways will be secure in their ability to smash this game wide open,” assessed Ward. ![]() “And I love the filthy stuff inside.” Our judges were quick to pick up on the X-rated undertones, with Ward suggesting that “this player has more on their mind than winning money for charity.” TOFFEE POP TOFFSīoth TV presenter Matt Gibb and musical star Nick Afoa chose the ever-popular Toffee Pops as their desert island biscuit of choice. “I love the filthy taste,” he told The Spinoff. “That person will be eliminated first for not listening to instructions,” said Chapman.īut it was Blair Strang attorney at law and Rangi at Shortland Street, who had a lust for Tim Tams that was Nothing even close to Trivial. ![]() TrueBliss member Megan Alatini went unnoticed by our judges for saying she would dip a Tim Tam in “anything: coffee, milk, orange juice ” – but was swiftly reprimanded for adding that “Carlos Spencer did a mean ad for it and we can never forget that.” The ad, of course, was for Toffee Pops. “A quiet observer waiting for their moment.” “That is someone who pays attention,” she mused. “An uncontroversial choice given the reliability of Tim Tams,” added Chapman, who commended Jazz Thornton for wanting “that little bit extra” in a Caramel Tim Tam. “These players know the game, and are obviously sucking up to the show’s sponsors,” observed Ward.

This time, against a backdrop of picturesque lakeside Wānaka, I asked each Celebrity Treasure Island contestant which biscuit they would take to a desert island. Last year we published a scarily accurate chip-based prediction (“a maverick streak” and “chaos vibes” turned out to be extremely true for Eta fan Dame Susan Devoy). As a brand new cast prepares to wash up on Celebrity Treasure Island, we return to high-level food choice analysis – this time based on each contestant’s desert island biscuit.
