Battle of The Islands (2007)
The fifth series ran from 21 January to 10 June 2007 as Shipwrecked: Battle of the Islands 2007. There were the same groups, Tigers and Sharks, as last year as well as the same islands. This time the islands were initially split with all the males on Shark island and the females on Tiger island. The prize money still remains as £70,000, which the Tigers in turn won. A day before the first episode, T4 aired the show Shipwrecked: Meet the Islanders, which showed viewers the islanders' audition tapes.
On 3 June, the Tigers were declared winners (16-15 against the Sharks).
The "Shipwrecker Of The Year" was decided in the T4 studio reunion on 10 June. The finalists for the boys were: Ben Lunt, Paul Harris and James Green, and the finalists for the girls were: Lianne Dauban, Jane Barrie and Lucy Buchan. Ben Lunt was the winner, also winning £15,000.
Tigers took the crown of Shipwrecked Champions 2007 after no nominations from either tribe.
The original Tiger girls were Fiona Merry, Lianne Dauban and Lucy Buchanan (other Tiger originals were Sophia Wardman and Terri Jones, who later joined the Sharks). They were later joined by Amy Blackburn (who later joined the Sharks), Ben "Macben" Cochrane, Ben "Scouse Ben" Lunt, James Green, Allen Brandie (who after 2 weeks left the show), Louis Rennocks, Jane Barrie (who was won as a pontoon prize by the Sharks, but later joined the Tigers), Ben "Chez" Chesney, Francesca Willi, Fliss Jaine, Jamie Goldthorpe and Lucy Carr.
The original Sharks were Stevie Thomas, Joe Stone, Stuart Mann, Will Colin (and Lorenzo Preecha who left the series). They were joined by Paul "Marine" Harris, Jo Davis, Naomi Millbank-Smith, Amy Blackburn, Terri Jones (defected Tiger), Sophia Wardman (defected Tiger), Elisa McNally, Ella Bowman, Kim Davidson and Jonno Burden.
The final vote was cast by previous year's originals, Charlie Freeman and John Melvin, who chose the Tigers as the winners.
The show was narrated by actor and voice-over artist, Craig Kelly.
