What happened in the first episode of IAC?
During the first episode of the series, half of the celebs arrived via helicopter and half by jeep.
A huge cliff separated the two groups and half of them had to descend it while working with the others to unlock packages along the way.
Later, the first of the trials, which involved all 10 celebs, saw them locked in separate cages and bombarded with creepy crawlies as they tried to move stars along to the next compartment using magnets or their hands.
