This year, ten daring kids take on ten epic challenges for an adventure of a life-slime that's been ten years in the making for "Camp Orange: FORCE 10!"!
Premiering on Tuesday 10th June 2014 at 5:30pm, Nickelodeon (Nick) is celebrating a milestone ten years of its multi-awarded, local production with the show now classed as the longest running kids' reality series in Australia!
For the second consecutive year, the series is set at Sea World on the Gold Coast - the perfect location for the messy, festy challenges in store for the five teams ahead. This year, a record 7,000 kids entered to be a part of this year's CO adventure, all wanting the chance to be crowned "Champ Orange" – the best and fairest team of the series, voted by NickHeads watching at home.
For "Camp Orange: Force 10", Nickelodeon Star Matt Bennett, who plays Robbie Shapiro in Nick's hit live-action musical comedy series "Victorious", made his very first ever trip down under to guest host "Camp Orange: Force 10" alongside Logie nominated and ASTRA award winning "Camp Orange" hosts, Luke Ryan & Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd!
The Australian actor and television presenter Luke Jacobz and the Australian singer-songwriter and dancer Timomatic (Tim Omaji) are also amongst the string of celebrities to tackle the most twisted, gut wrenching and gross challenges in the show's history - making surprise cameos to either help or hinder teams. Adding to the star power, this year's Wrong Town Dinner recipes (foul feasts that nominated teams must chow down each night) have been concocted by U.S. stars from Nickelodeon's brand-new live-action comedy series' "The Haunted Hathaways" and "The Thundermans"!
In the whirlwind, world premiere episode, we meet this year's five teams; the Mighty Mermaids from New South Wales, the M Tastics from Australian Capital Territory, the Kiwi Cuzzies from New Zealand, the Twisted Twins from New South Wales, and the Joco Locos from New Zealand.
After arriving at Sea World, hosts, Luke and Wyatt turn Nick's "Camp Orange 2014" campers into walking calamari in the very first challenge, Squid Marks. In a Camp Orange 10th birthday surprise, and the first of many twists, Matt Bennett surprises the campers (and Luke and Wyatt!) as a guest host, before joining a mega aweslime slime fight! At "Wrong Town Dinner", the Human Dinner Spinner is unveiled and spun to select the team deemed to gorge on Tastebud Torment, a recipe made by celebrity guest chef, Nickelodeon Star Amber Montana, who plays Taylor Hathaway in "Haunted Hathaways"!
Nickelodeon Australia is available to watch via Foxtel on Channel 701 and Fetch TV on Channel 146.
