Naked and Afraid (2013–…): Season 14, Episode 5 - Gag Me with a Turtle - full transcript
Oh, you son of a bitch!
I got a turtle!
There you are!
Do you know
how to cook terrapin?
Nope! But I think I know
a way to humanely kill him.
- Please.
- We take our finger
- and put it in his rectum.
- Okay.
His head will poke out
and then we can chop
- his head off.
- Chop his head off?
Am I sticking my finger
in his butt?
Or you wanna stick
your finger in his butt?
I think I should probably stick
my finger in his butt so
you can chop his head off.
- So, this is a tag-team action?
- Yeah.
There is
nothing easy about this.
We got hail.
Whew, my heart is racing.
If you don't
fight, you won't make it.
It's so hard!
I ain't
done yet. No way.
Got on Naked and Afraid!
I'm so excited to be
part of the fan talent.
I think we've seen just
about every single episode.
My partner better
not let me die.
This is insane. I
cannot believe it!
I made it on Naked and Afraid!
Yeah!
I did that!
That guy is badass
They were bombarding this episode
where he wavers really off team.
The fan challenge
is my favorite.
All these people are nuts
and I guess I'm just
as crazy as they are.
It can't be any
harder than this, right?
- Say hi!
- Hey!
You've heard of
octo-mom, I'm "nueve-mom."
I have nine kids.
Six of my own and
three adopted children.
And then I worked as
an optician for 13 years.
If I can survive nine kids,
I can survive Naked and Afraid.
I consider myself an
aspiring survivalist.
One of my strongest
skills is starting a fire.
At that time I'm gonna
sanitize my water.
Cook the food that we catch.
It's going to keep us warm.
Fire!
I'm always looking
for new challenging
opportunities
and I think this one is
the biggest of them all.
So, I'm gonna go ahead
and toughen the
feet up a little bit.
The wild, that's where I belong.
I wanna roar like a lion.
I wanna get out there
and take what's mine.
I'm a hardwood-floor technician.
My job title has
the word "hard" in it.
I've run with the bulls
in Pamplona, Spain.
On the rugby
pitch, I'm a monster.
You come at me,
I'm coming at you.
When it comes to survival,
I've never truly been tested,
so that's a mystery for me.
Why not push
myself as far as I can?
I'm leaving for Africa today!
Are you gonna miss me?
-No? -Yes!
Africa, here I come!
See you, butt naked!
Holy crap, look at that!
That's a rhino! That horn...
I don't want a rhino
enema, let me tell you that.
South Africa's Badlands.
Named after its many
dangerous predators
and its oppressive heat.
I think my biggest fear out here
is definitely the sun.
I'm very fair-complected,
so I'm very scared
that I'm going to burn.
They could take me
out for a couple of days
before I recover, so
I'm hoping that I can find
some protection out here.
The only relief from the heat
in these feral grasslands
is a labyrinth of waterholes,
attracting both
predators and prey.
Herds of local elephants
rely on these pools
and drink up to 40
gallons of water a day.
Packs of hyenas
competing with prides of lions,
whose roar can be heard
from five miles away,
also hunt these shores,
but the Badlands' biggest threat
are the extremely
aggressive black rhino.
At almost 3,000 pounds,
and armed with two
penetrating horns,
they will charge
at incoming threats,
reaching speeds
of 35 miles per hour.
I'm really
excited. I'm also nervous.
I'm kinda questioning
what was I thinking.
Juggling nine kids and a career,
Kayla thrives in
high-pressure situations,
but she'll need to muster
all of her mental and
physical resources
to survive South
Africa's Badlands.
This fan begins with a PSR,
or Primitive Survival
Rating, of 4.5.
The toughest
thing for this challenge
is gonna be me.
As a kid, growing up,
I doubted myself and
it took me a long time
to overcome that doubt.
Completing this challenge
will give me so much confidence,
knowing, "Hey, I did this.
What else can I do?"
A born competitor,
Scott is determined
to show he can
succeed on any plainfield,
but his lack of
true survival skills
could be his downfall.
He starts his challenge
with a PSR of 4.4.
All right, I guess this is it.
Ready, South
Africa? Here I come!
Being naked is pretty freeing.
I wish I could just be
naked all the time really,
and it would be
okay with everyone.
All right, let's do this.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
I have never been
naked with a stranger,
so I feel nervous.
Here we go!
Oh, boy, I'm in this now.
It's extremely hot out here.
I can already feel the sun
already burning my skin
and the rocks are extremely hot.
- Ah, hey!
- Hey!
- How are you doing?
- I'm good! How are you doing?
I'm doing pretty well.
- I'm Kayla.
- Kayla, Scott.
- Very nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
All right.
Well, we're in it now, hey?
We're in Africa!
- So surreal to be here.
- It is. It is, isn't it?
Can you tell me a little bit
about your survival skills?
'Cause I'm going to
be upfront with you.
I've got basically none.
I can fish, definitely.
Scott seems really nice.
I'm glad he told me upfront
that he didn't have any skills,
but that concerns
me a little bit,
so I'm curious to see
how that's going to unfold.
My biggest skill is fire making.
- Oh, thank God. Thank God.
- Yeah.
I think fire's going to be
our big protector out here.
Okay. I'm going to
follow your lead on this.
Yeah, awesome. I think we
got some bags behind you.
All right.
- Let's see what we've got.
- Let's go.
To help protect them
from the threat of large predators,
the team has been
given a Kukri knife
and a fire starter.
- You're in charge of the fire.
- Awesome.
Scott has brought
a fishing line and hook.
And Kayla, a pot.
So we can get some fresh water.
Thank goodness!
Looks like we've got ourselves
a nice little map here, finally.
That's so neat!
You see it on the
show, it's so surreal.
- This is great.
- Looks like
we're right here on the map.
It'd be great if we
went down here.
Just get around the water.
Looks like we've
got some rhinos here.
They're extremely dangerous.
Well, we'll just
keep our distance then.
Let's do this.
- Let's do it.
- All right.
Loose rocks, be careful.
The rocks feel like glass.
- This is terrible. Okay.
- Are you all right?
Yeah, I just need a minute.
Need a
minute? All right.
Sore feet.
My first impression of
Kayla is that she's got
some pretty good
survival knowledge,
but one thing I'm worried about
is her ability to really
brave the environment.
Let's keep walking.
You wanna keep walking?
- Yeah.
- You got it.
We'll just take
a break when needed.
Look at that.
Oh, it looks like a lion.
Oh, boy.
One right there. One down there.
Yeah, let's get to
that water source,
and then we can
start making our boma.
Wow, look at that!
- Finally!
- Yeah!
I thought I was gonna have
to cut my feet off back there.
No, please don't
cut your feet off!
- I need you walking.
- This is great. We made it.
We made it.
So, that means the
next step is, what?
You wanna search out
some boma territory?
Yeah, shelter and fire.
All right. So, I don't
feel comfortable
being close to the water
at all with the boma.
Especially with all the animals.
- 'Cause they drink out here.
- Yeah.
Ugh, these rocks
are a killer to walk on.
Yeah?
You mind if I go ahead
and just scout this area?
Yeah, go scout.
I'm gonna look around.
You'll have a clear
eye on me, all right?
- Yeah, let's do that.
- Okey-doke.
It's a real big mudhole.
That's rhino territory,
right there. Look at that.
Oh, man.
I wanna stay away from...
Up and away from
the water, it looks like.
I think my feet need a rest.
I'd like to go ahead
and get started,
but I know my partner wanted
to scout that area over there.
I don't think it's
worth spending
hours researching where to go
because we still
need to make a fire,
I wanna boil some
water. I'm thirsty.
- Hey, Scott!
- Yo!
You coming back?
Give me your
opinion about right over here.
There is a lot of thick brush.
I'm thinking back here
because I don't see any tracks.
I mean,
that ain't comfy
up on the rocks.
Where would you
feel comfortable going?
It's just, like,
right at the end
of that trail to the left there.
Let's go look at it.
You want a piggyback ride?
- Okay.
- Do you?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- If you're willing.
- I'm willing. Come on, hop on.
- Come on.
- Thank you.
- You got me?
- I got you. Let's go.
Teamwork makes
- the dream work.
- I got you.
Thanks for carrying me.
No problem.
This tree right here.
Okay. Let me down here.
- Are you good?
- Yeah.
Okay. So, here.
We've got overhanging branches.
If we do come up
against a black rhino,
we got these guys that
are gonna protect us.
All right, let's...
we'll stay here.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Start building and
I'll start fire-making.
Yes, ma'am.
I don't think we
have much daylight left,
so I hope I can get
this fire started soon.
I'm working myself too hard.
Yeah. Rest
when you need to rest.
Yeah. Yeah.
What the?
I knew this would happen.
I would get out here
and I wouldn't be
able to make a fire.
Kayla seems to be struggling
to get the fire going.
I am panicking a little bit.
The fire can be a difference
between life and death out here.
I can't get it to stay lit.
Never fails.
Someone talks about
how confident they are
with their fire-starting skills
and then you can't start a fire.
We have fire.
Such a big relief.
I thought I was gonna sit
here for another six hours
and not have a fire.
Hey, Scott!
Yo!
We have fire!
You're my hero right now.
You're mine, too, so...
- All right.
- We got this.
Kayla just made a dang fire.
And to tell you the truth
I doubted her for a little bit,
just watching her, but
she got two things under,
fire and water.
I gotta slow myself down.
I'm being a dumbass about this.
Positive thoughts,
Scott. You're not a dumbass.
Here I am, lagging behind,
and I'm just trying to
get this boma made.
It's a lot harder than it looks
on the television episodes.
I'm trying to stay
calm, but in my head,
right up here, it's my
worst enemy right now.
I'm not gonna be
happy with myself
until this boma is done.
I gotta get myself
in a better mindset.
Scott, my man,
get it together, bro.
It's a really great shelter.
He did a really
good job with this.
All right, Kayla, I'm gonna move
the fire towards the
entrance. It'll be deturn.
Okay.
What else do we need to do
for the boma tonight
before the sun goes down?
- I think we're good.
- You think we're good?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
I'm a little nervous
to go through my first
night in this challenge.
I don't know what to
expect, but we have fire.
We've got water.
We have shelter,
thanks to my partner.
You know, we've made it farther
than some survivalists,
so keep it coming.
All right, I gotta
feed the fire, okay?
Yeah. Scott's
gonna feed the fire,
so I'm gonna be his lookout.
It's not much fun, but
we need it to protect us
from anything lurking out there.
And we gotta use
nature as our warning sign.
So, those are bullfrogs.
If that stops, that's
when you know
there's something
around because they stop
- when something comes by.
- Yeah.
Okay, listen.
You notice how the
bullfrogs stopped?
Uh-huh.
I'm gonna go ahead
and just get a view
of what we're
dealing with out here.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
- I can't see anything.
- No, you can't.
It's pitch black outside.
But they started off again, see?
Started off again,
so it's all right.
Last night was forever.
Dragged on.
Bullfrogs messed with me.
First night
was a little bit harder
than I thought it would be.
Nothing can really prepare
you for actually being out here.
I'm just trying
to create a better barrier.
Last night, one of the
things I was worried about
was this side of the
boma, it's really exposed,
open water, grassland.
If I can give us a
little more protection
from the predators,
that actually gives me
some peace of mind and
maybe I'll be able to rest
instead of moving
at every sound I hear.
That's a good one.
Having fun?
- No.
- No?
I'm not feeling too great.
It's hot as hell.
You think you
can chug some water?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Chug it.
- You gonna be okay?
- Uh-huh.
Okay.
I'm trying to stay hydrated,
but the water
tastes like lake water
and I'm gagging quite a bit.
Kayla, you all right?
Yeah, just a little nauseous.
Okay.
Keep doing what you were doing.
I'm good. Just
gonna vomit a little.
Watch your head.
You want me to come with you?
Day three, here we go.
This is a lot tougher
than I ever thought it was.
Kayla is gagging a lot,
that sucks energy out of you.
The last thing I wanna do
is have my partner
have to tap out
because she's dehydrated.
I think my job today
is to make sure
she keeps drinking water.
Get some food if I can.
Whatever I can
do to help out, I will.
C'mon, take the damn thing.
Oh, you son of a bitch!
I got a turtle!
Oh, my gosh! This is insane.
Kayla, you know
how to cook terrapin?
Nope! That's great.
I feel bad for him,
but also at the same
time, we're lucky as heck.
I think I know a way
to humanely kill him.
Please, yeah.
I've watched a couple
of videos on this.
- All right.
- So if we take our finger
- and put it in his rectum.
- Okay.
His head will poke
out and then we can chop
- his head off.
- Chop his head off?
So now we're
gonna poke at him...
Am I sticking
my finger in his butt?
Or you wanna stick
your finger in his butt?
I think I should probably stick
my finger in his butt, so
you can chop his head off.
So, this is a tag-team action?
- Yeah.
- All right. Super.
All right, thank you.
I appreciate your sacrifice.
Okay, let's go.
It's all right.
Oh, this is terrible.
This is not humane at all.
No. Let me...
You know what?
Sorry.
Kayla, I think I'm gonna
need your help here.
Okay, what do you want me to do?
I need...
Pull... Pull this tight.
Pull it tight. Okay?
Keep it tight, please.
- Okay.
- Kayla,
it's all right. It's
all right. It's okay.
It's okay.
All right, it's
almost over, okay?
It's almost over, okay?
Oh, that's terrible.
Turtles are such
sweet creatures.
They don't hurt anybody.
I did not think I'd
be feeling this way.
I'm pretty sensitive
with animals.
Oh, man! I can't believe I'm...
Wow.
This is survival and
I have to look at it
through a different lens.
I need to eat it
to keep going forward
with this challenge.
Other than fish,
it's the first thing
I've ever killed.
It's just sad
because they're so cute.
They are cute.
My daughter
has, like, three turtles,
so I'm starting
to feel really bad.
But we gotta do
what we have to do.
I just needed a good cry.
It's all right.
Have a good cry and let it out,
and then, move on.
Yeah.
All right, let's eat this
before the flies do.
Yeah.
I thought I was
gonna have a problem
with eating this, but...
not at all.
No?
I mean, it's okay.
You don't gotta eat it.
I think I already
have it in my head
that it's a turtle, so yeah.
It's all right.
Here you go. Drink up.
I'm getting worried about Kayla.
She doesn't seem too keen
on drinking a lot
of water right now
because of the
nausea she's feeling.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
And it seems she's headed down
the wrong path right now.
All right, I think we've
got extra shade, Kayla.
What's up?
Just feeling a little down.
What's
going on? Tell me.
I just don't
wanna be here anymore.
You don't? Why?
I'm tired.
The nausea is
really getting to me.
Yeah?
Have you pretty much
made up your mind?
I don't know yet.
Okay. Well, let's talk,
because I want you to stay.
Yeah. I think
mentally I can do it,
I just, physically,
my whole body hurts,
the thought of
sitting on this ground
one more night...
- I know nights are tough.
- Yeah.
I really do. They are.
They are tough as heck.
The nights are the toughest.
And that's all I
can think about.
I like having you
here, I can tell you that.
And I'd feel like I'm
sort of failing, too,
if you leave, to
tell you the truth.
No, you're doing great.
No, I know,
but I mean, this whole...
I just think I
could've mentally...
Well, mentally and physically
prepared myself
for South Africa.
It's hot. It's so humid.
It's hard to breathe.
It's okay.
You're supposed to
have these emotions.
Look at this,
you get to do this.
- Yeah.
- This is an opportunity
no one ever gets to do. I
think you can stick it out.
You are a mentally
strong person.
- Yeah.
- And you don't want
- to mentally break now.
- Yeah.
All right, well, lets'
see what tonight holds
and hopefully tomorrow
we'll be back in.
You're strong.
You got this. All right?
- All right.
- Okay.
Thanks, Scott!
If my partner
leaves, I'm screwed.
I have fire because
of her and I don't know
if I can maintain it by myself.
I need her just as
much as she needs me.
Hey, it's okay.
You're okay.
Oh, God.
I'm sorry, I wish
I had let you tap out.
Yeah, I can't do this anymore.
Yeah, I wouldn't
be able to either.
Yeah, last night was rough.
Yeah, it was.
If you're sitting
there watching,
don't think that
you can do this,
it's harder than it looks.
It really is, actually.
It really is.
I gotta tell you,
I wouldn't have
made it past day one
if it wasn't for
you. Like, really.
Two heads really
are better than one.
- Thank you, Scott.
- All right?
- I appreciate it.
- All right.
- Best of luck to you.
- Best of luck to you, too.
- What's going on, Kayla?
- I'm ready to go.
You're tapping out?
All right, Kayla.
- Goodbye, Scott.
- Bye.
Best of luck to you.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate everything.
You got this.
Thank you.
I was lucky I got a
really good partner.
I feel a little bad
leaving Scott,
but I feel a lot better
because I know
he's got the skills
to make it on his own
and I wasn't providing much.
I don't have any
regrets leaving.
I gave it my all
and I'm proud of
myself for trying.
The harsh conditions
and excessive vomiting
forced Kayla from the challenge.
Five pounds
lighter, her early exit
drops her PSR from 4.5 to 3.1.
Goodbye, South Africa.
I gotta admit it's
nice being able to, uh,
have all the water to myself
and not monitor
how much I drink.
I don't have to worry
about Kayla now, I guess.
Not that I had a problem
doing that, I really didn't,
but now I'm gonna go
ahead and just focus on me.
Oh, no. This is getting hard.
I'm a little nervous.
I'm gonna have
ten days on my own.
It's extremely crucial
that I stay on top of
every aspect of survival,
especially maintaining the boma,
keeping the fire going.
Why is this being a
problem right now?
I need that protection
from the predators,
especially when
it's just yourself.
Tonight is my first night
spending it alone
in South Africa.
I got a fire going, my
boma is pretty built up.
I'm a little nervous,
but I can handle this.
So, we got something rustling
around the bushes over here.
Don't go after my boma now.
C'mon. What is it?
Something's out there right now.
It's pretty big
and pretty close.
I don't know what it is.
I gotta keep my ears peeled
if I gotta jump up
in the stream...
Just woke up. Day five.
Last night I didn't really get
much sleep.
I heard a bunch of movement
in the bush around my boma.
Black rhino right here.
One, two, three.
Yeah, you can smell
the urine, too.
It was right here,
right by my boma.
They smell me,
they definitely do.
They know I'm here
or else they would not
be doing this.
That scares me.
I'm almost through
my first pile of wood
and I don't even know
if I'm halfway
through the night yet.
I wish I could just sleep
through the night,
I'm so tired. I know I can't.
I just wake up because
I gotta tend to the fire.
If it goes out, predators come.
Just another rough night
in the boma.
I really like
that rock right there.
Slept like crap last night.
Tossing and turning
and keeping the fire going.
I know I gotta keep
the predators away,
but man, this lack of sleep,
and constantly
maintaining the fire,
I just gotta figure out
a better way.
I've seen people in challenges
where they make something
inside their boma
to contain any fire,
sort of like an oven,
and it will protect my fire,
it will keep the embers going.
Mainly because if it goes out
and I have trouble
starting it again,
I'm done for.
I have a rock base,
and I'm building up
off that base,
sealing everything in,
so that any kind of moisture
isn't allowed to get into this,
so I can store my coals in here.
I'm proud
of my little Flintstone hut.
This environment
is pretty harsh.
Like, extremely harder
than I thought it would be.
This should not be so hard.
I've never been
this weak in my life.
I haven't eaten for three days.
It's very crucial
that I get as much protein
as I possibly can right now.
Really?
Oh, you guys
are asking for it today.
Oh, wow.
It's a swallow.
It looks like it landed
a little too hard.
It's pretty cool.
Not every day
you get to do this.
I'm not gonna kill this thing.
It's too small,
there's no point.
I'm getting it somewhere
where it can dry off.
We'll get you in the sun.
I don't wanna kill
any more animals
other than fish.
I still feel guilty
about killing the turtle
and I know I can get
through this challenge
without having that weight
on my conscience.
All right, well...
He can fly.
Have a nice life.
Let's see here.
Today is the first day
I really actually
started to feel
depleted in my energy.
I gotta get some fish,
get some food in me.
Oh...
What do I got here?
Here we go. Dammit.
Another turtle?
Looks like it's hooked on you.
Oh, you swallowed it.
He swallowed it.
There's no way
I'm getting that out.
I gotta kill it.
I'm sorry.
Feels bad killing
this second turtle.
I don't like it,
but I just something
you gotta get used to,
in the end.
I have to remind myself
that this is survival.
This is food.
I just feel zapped today.
I'm hoping that I can find
a backup food source.
I need that energy
for the extraction.
Wow, look at that.
I think these are Kudu berries.
Once they turn brown,
I can boil them
and they're edible.
I'm just actually pretty happy
that I found these.
Oh, boy.
The wind is picking up.
I can feel the weather
changing a little bit.
There's definitely
some thunder on the horizon.
Yeah, here comes some rain.
Oh, man.
I'm gonna head back
and get prepared for the storm.
All right.
That should be enough
to ride through the storm.
I need to keep this fire going.
If it goes out,
and I have trouble
starting it again,
I'm not going
to be able to survive.
I'm done for.
It just came in hard and fast.
I was not expecting this.
It was a nice day out today.
I was supposed to rest.
I'm keeping this fire
with everything I got.
So far my covered fire pit is
really doing the job for me.
Look at that!
It's all draining
right towards my fire.
This is exactly
what I was afraid of.
Getting my firewood wet,
but I ain't done yet.
No way.
Oh, my gosh. Look at this!
It's up to my ankles.
If it keeps up,
I'm gonna be sitting
in a swimming pool all night.
I don't wanna go out this way.
Why don't you
just pee into the brushes?
Because this is not pee.
Oh...
Oh, no.
Do you wanna take
a diarrhea can with you?
Diarrhea can
ain't gonna do any good.
You got this.
Oh, man.
Oh, my gosh!
Look at this!
See how much buildup there is?
It's up to my ankles.
It's all draining
right towards my fire.
Looks like I'm getting
a blockage over here.
I gotta go back around
and loosen it up
on the other side.
This is all runoff coming
from outside of my boma.
I can't afford that
getting any higher.
C'mon, Scott.
There we go.
That should be enough.
Yes!
You can already see
the water level lowering here.
I think I'm gonna be okay.
I'm actually really proud
of myself right now.
This is what I thought
was gonna tap me out.
I've seen shows
where their fire
just gets drowned,
but I kept the fire going.
I made it through.
I've never had Kudu berry.
This will be interesting.
Plans for the last full day here
are to get ready for extraction
and to get some nutrition in me.
It tastes like a...
a tuna bar.
I'm just gonna go at it,
I'm gonna eat 'em,
get energy,
whatever I can get from them
because I need that energy
for the extraction.
And this right here,
me eating these,
is proof that I'm gonna
make it to the end.
It's a beautiful place.
It really is nature untouched.
I'm learning a lot
about myself out here.
I'm really happy
that this experience
has changed me a little bit.
I ended up using
more of my empathy
and patience throughout this,
and that's something
that really surprised me.
I'm leaving humble and I know
I'm gonna be
a better person after this.
Wow.
All right. Last day.
I'll take a gander at the map.
All right, so,
I'm following the river.
Definitely heard
the lions this morning
down at the path
I'm gonna be taking.
I'm a little worried about it.
I'm naked. I'm by myself.
I'm vulnerable
to every kind of aspect
of the bush right now.
Just gotta present myself
as that apex predator
and just a vigilant eye out.
To complete his challenge,
Scott will have
to hike a mile upstream
over rocky terrain
where lions patrol
the shores for easy prey.
From there, he must trek
north through dense brush,
home to the highly
aggressive black rhino.
After a grueling four-mile hike,
Scott will need to locate
a cropping of large boulders,
where he will be extracted.
I definitely need
to keep an eye out for any lion.
This is around the area
where I thought I heard them.
I really don't wanna run
into any predators,
especially on extraction day.
Looks like we're getting
into tall grass here.
I definitely need
to keep an eye out
for any kind of snake.
C'mon, Scott, almost there.
Woah, look at this.
This looks like a rhino.
It's really fresh.
I haven't seen
any scat this fresh
since I've been here.
Which way did he...
Maybe he is heading
the way I'm heading.
I gotta be able to keep
my head on a swivel.
They'll charge without warning,
so eyes peeled,
ears to the ground.
It's starting to get
pretty dense in the bush.
I can only see probably
20 yards around me
at all times
and that's if I'm lucky.
If anything, I gotta listen
for any kind of movement
in the bush right now.
It's all a lot of down trees.
I might be in elephant territory
right now.
They knock them down
and eat the leaves.
Oh, my gosh.
A heard of elephants.
This I never thought
I'd be able to see.
It's beautiful.
I'm just sort of at a loss
of words, really.
I don't know
how to describe this,
to see them
in their natural habitat...
This is worth the 14 days.
Oh, I'm so damn tired.
I'm seeing quite a lot
of big boulders right now.
Is this the big boulder?
This one right here?
Am I done?
Yes, there it is.
Dude, it's my ride. I made it.
I'm done.
I freaking did it! Yeah!
All right.
Oh, man.
I made it.
See ya later, bushville.
Being a fan and coming
in this challenge,
I had no experience,
but I adapted,
I learned a lot about myself,
and now my confidence
has been boosted.
I'm not saying I'm a new person,
I'm just a better person
because of it.
And I'm in awe of myself
a little bit
that I made it, that I did this.
After 14 days
in the untamed expanse
of South Africa's Badlands,
ten of them
with only himself to rely on,
Scott completes the challenge,
losing a total of 27 pounds,
his Primitive Survival Rating
jumps from 4.4 to 5.8,
transforming Scott
from untested superfan
to proven survivalist.
Thank you, South Africa.
Farewell!
I'm out!
I got a turtle!
There you are!
Do you know
how to cook terrapin?
Nope! But I think I know
a way to humanely kill him.
- Please.
- We take our finger
- and put it in his rectum.
- Okay.
His head will poke out
and then we can chop
- his head off.
- Chop his head off?
Am I sticking my finger
in his butt?
Or you wanna stick
your finger in his butt?
I think I should probably stick
my finger in his butt so
you can chop his head off.
- So, this is a tag-team action?
- Yeah.
There is
nothing easy about this.
We got hail.
Whew, my heart is racing.
If you don't
fight, you won't make it.
It's so hard!
I ain't
done yet. No way.
Got on Naked and Afraid!
I'm so excited to be
part of the fan talent.
I think we've seen just
about every single episode.
My partner better
not let me die.
This is insane. I
cannot believe it!
I made it on Naked and Afraid!
Yeah!
I did that!
That guy is badass
They were bombarding this episode
where he wavers really off team.
The fan challenge
is my favorite.
All these people are nuts
and I guess I'm just
as crazy as they are.
It can't be any
harder than this, right?
- Say hi!
- Hey!
You've heard of
octo-mom, I'm "nueve-mom."
I have nine kids.
Six of my own and
three adopted children.
And then I worked as
an optician for 13 years.
If I can survive nine kids,
I can survive Naked and Afraid.
I consider myself an
aspiring survivalist.
One of my strongest
skills is starting a fire.
At that time I'm gonna
sanitize my water.
Cook the food that we catch.
It's going to keep us warm.
Fire!
I'm always looking
for new challenging
opportunities
and I think this one is
the biggest of them all.
So, I'm gonna go ahead
and toughen the
feet up a little bit.
The wild, that's where I belong.
I wanna roar like a lion.
I wanna get out there
and take what's mine.
I'm a hardwood-floor technician.
My job title has
the word "hard" in it.
I've run with the bulls
in Pamplona, Spain.
On the rugby
pitch, I'm a monster.
You come at me,
I'm coming at you.
When it comes to survival,
I've never truly been tested,
so that's a mystery for me.
Why not push
myself as far as I can?
I'm leaving for Africa today!
Are you gonna miss me?
-No? -Yes!
Africa, here I come!
See you, butt naked!
Holy crap, look at that!
That's a rhino! That horn...
I don't want a rhino
enema, let me tell you that.
South Africa's Badlands.
Named after its many
dangerous predators
and its oppressive heat.
I think my biggest fear out here
is definitely the sun.
I'm very fair-complected,
so I'm very scared
that I'm going to burn.
They could take me
out for a couple of days
before I recover, so
I'm hoping that I can find
some protection out here.
The only relief from the heat
in these feral grasslands
is a labyrinth of waterholes,
attracting both
predators and prey.
Herds of local elephants
rely on these pools
and drink up to 40
gallons of water a day.
Packs of hyenas
competing with prides of lions,
whose roar can be heard
from five miles away,
also hunt these shores,
but the Badlands' biggest threat
are the extremely
aggressive black rhino.
At almost 3,000 pounds,
and armed with two
penetrating horns,
they will charge
at incoming threats,
reaching speeds
of 35 miles per hour.
I'm really
excited. I'm also nervous.
I'm kinda questioning
what was I thinking.
Juggling nine kids and a career,
Kayla thrives in
high-pressure situations,
but she'll need to muster
all of her mental and
physical resources
to survive South
Africa's Badlands.
This fan begins with a PSR,
or Primitive Survival
Rating, of 4.5.
The toughest
thing for this challenge
is gonna be me.
As a kid, growing up,
I doubted myself and
it took me a long time
to overcome that doubt.
Completing this challenge
will give me so much confidence,
knowing, "Hey, I did this.
What else can I do?"
A born competitor,
Scott is determined
to show he can
succeed on any plainfield,
but his lack of
true survival skills
could be his downfall.
He starts his challenge
with a PSR of 4.4.
All right, I guess this is it.
Ready, South
Africa? Here I come!
Being naked is pretty freeing.
I wish I could just be
naked all the time really,
and it would be
okay with everyone.
All right, let's do this.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
I have never been
naked with a stranger,
so I feel nervous.
Here we go!
Oh, boy, I'm in this now.
It's extremely hot out here.
I can already feel the sun
already burning my skin
and the rocks are extremely hot.
- Ah, hey!
- Hey!
- How are you doing?
- I'm good! How are you doing?
I'm doing pretty well.
- I'm Kayla.
- Kayla, Scott.
- Very nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
All right.
Well, we're in it now, hey?
We're in Africa!
- So surreal to be here.
- It is. It is, isn't it?
Can you tell me a little bit
about your survival skills?
'Cause I'm going to
be upfront with you.
I've got basically none.
I can fish, definitely.
Scott seems really nice.
I'm glad he told me upfront
that he didn't have any skills,
but that concerns
me a little bit,
so I'm curious to see
how that's going to unfold.
My biggest skill is fire making.
- Oh, thank God. Thank God.
- Yeah.
I think fire's going to be
our big protector out here.
Okay. I'm going to
follow your lead on this.
Yeah, awesome. I think we
got some bags behind you.
All right.
- Let's see what we've got.
- Let's go.
To help protect them
from the threat of large predators,
the team has been
given a Kukri knife
and a fire starter.
- You're in charge of the fire.
- Awesome.
Scott has brought
a fishing line and hook.
And Kayla, a pot.
So we can get some fresh water.
Thank goodness!
Looks like we've got ourselves
a nice little map here, finally.
That's so neat!
You see it on the
show, it's so surreal.
- This is great.
- Looks like
we're right here on the map.
It'd be great if we
went down here.
Just get around the water.
Looks like we've
got some rhinos here.
They're extremely dangerous.
Well, we'll just
keep our distance then.
Let's do this.
- Let's do it.
- All right.
Loose rocks, be careful.
The rocks feel like glass.
- This is terrible. Okay.
- Are you all right?
Yeah, I just need a minute.
Need a
minute? All right.
Sore feet.
My first impression of
Kayla is that she's got
some pretty good
survival knowledge,
but one thing I'm worried about
is her ability to really
brave the environment.
Let's keep walking.
You wanna keep walking?
- Yeah.
- You got it.
We'll just take
a break when needed.
Look at that.
Oh, it looks like a lion.
Oh, boy.
One right there. One down there.
Yeah, let's get to
that water source,
and then we can
start making our boma.
Wow, look at that!
- Finally!
- Yeah!
I thought I was gonna have
to cut my feet off back there.
No, please don't
cut your feet off!
- I need you walking.
- This is great. We made it.
We made it.
So, that means the
next step is, what?
You wanna search out
some boma territory?
Yeah, shelter and fire.
All right. So, I don't
feel comfortable
being close to the water
at all with the boma.
Especially with all the animals.
- 'Cause they drink out here.
- Yeah.
Ugh, these rocks
are a killer to walk on.
Yeah?
You mind if I go ahead
and just scout this area?
Yeah, go scout.
I'm gonna look around.
You'll have a clear
eye on me, all right?
- Yeah, let's do that.
- Okey-doke.
It's a real big mudhole.
That's rhino territory,
right there. Look at that.
Oh, man.
I wanna stay away from...
Up and away from
the water, it looks like.
I think my feet need a rest.
I'd like to go ahead
and get started,
but I know my partner wanted
to scout that area over there.
I don't think it's
worth spending
hours researching where to go
because we still
need to make a fire,
I wanna boil some
water. I'm thirsty.
- Hey, Scott!
- Yo!
You coming back?
Give me your
opinion about right over here.
There is a lot of thick brush.
I'm thinking back here
because I don't see any tracks.
I mean,
that ain't comfy
up on the rocks.
Where would you
feel comfortable going?
It's just, like,
right at the end
of that trail to the left there.
Let's go look at it.
You want a piggyback ride?
- Okay.
- Do you?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- If you're willing.
- I'm willing. Come on, hop on.
- Come on.
- Thank you.
- You got me?
- I got you. Let's go.
Teamwork makes
- the dream work.
- I got you.
Thanks for carrying me.
No problem.
This tree right here.
Okay. Let me down here.
- Are you good?
- Yeah.
Okay. So, here.
We've got overhanging branches.
If we do come up
against a black rhino,
we got these guys that
are gonna protect us.
All right, let's...
we'll stay here.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Start building and
I'll start fire-making.
Yes, ma'am.
I don't think we
have much daylight left,
so I hope I can get
this fire started soon.
I'm working myself too hard.
Yeah. Rest
when you need to rest.
Yeah. Yeah.
What the?
I knew this would happen.
I would get out here
and I wouldn't be
able to make a fire.
Kayla seems to be struggling
to get the fire going.
I am panicking a little bit.
The fire can be a difference
between life and death out here.
I can't get it to stay lit.
Never fails.
Someone talks about
how confident they are
with their fire-starting skills
and then you can't start a fire.
We have fire.
Such a big relief.
I thought I was gonna sit
here for another six hours
and not have a fire.
Hey, Scott!
Yo!
We have fire!
You're my hero right now.
You're mine, too, so...
- All right.
- We got this.
Kayla just made a dang fire.
And to tell you the truth
I doubted her for a little bit,
just watching her, but
she got two things under,
fire and water.
I gotta slow myself down.
I'm being a dumbass about this.
Positive thoughts,
Scott. You're not a dumbass.
Here I am, lagging behind,
and I'm just trying to
get this boma made.
It's a lot harder than it looks
on the television episodes.
I'm trying to stay
calm, but in my head,
right up here, it's my
worst enemy right now.
I'm not gonna be
happy with myself
until this boma is done.
I gotta get myself
in a better mindset.
Scott, my man,
get it together, bro.
It's a really great shelter.
He did a really
good job with this.
All right, Kayla, I'm gonna move
the fire towards the
entrance. It'll be deturn.
Okay.
What else do we need to do
for the boma tonight
before the sun goes down?
- I think we're good.
- You think we're good?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
I'm a little nervous
to go through my first
night in this challenge.
I don't know what to
expect, but we have fire.
We've got water.
We have shelter,
thanks to my partner.
You know, we've made it farther
than some survivalists,
so keep it coming.
All right, I gotta
feed the fire, okay?
Yeah. Scott's
gonna feed the fire,
so I'm gonna be his lookout.
It's not much fun, but
we need it to protect us
from anything lurking out there.
And we gotta use
nature as our warning sign.
So, those are bullfrogs.
If that stops, that's
when you know
there's something
around because they stop
- when something comes by.
- Yeah.
Okay, listen.
You notice how the
bullfrogs stopped?
Uh-huh.
I'm gonna go ahead
and just get a view
of what we're
dealing with out here.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
- I can't see anything.
- No, you can't.
It's pitch black outside.
But they started off again, see?
Started off again,
so it's all right.
Last night was forever.
Dragged on.
Bullfrogs messed with me.
First night
was a little bit harder
than I thought it would be.
Nothing can really prepare
you for actually being out here.
I'm just trying
to create a better barrier.
Last night, one of the
things I was worried about
was this side of the
boma, it's really exposed,
open water, grassland.
If I can give us a
little more protection
from the predators,
that actually gives me
some peace of mind and
maybe I'll be able to rest
instead of moving
at every sound I hear.
That's a good one.
Having fun?
- No.
- No?
I'm not feeling too great.
It's hot as hell.
You think you
can chug some water?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Chug it.
- You gonna be okay?
- Uh-huh.
Okay.
I'm trying to stay hydrated,
but the water
tastes like lake water
and I'm gagging quite a bit.
Kayla, you all right?
Yeah, just a little nauseous.
Okay.
Keep doing what you were doing.
I'm good. Just
gonna vomit a little.
Watch your head.
You want me to come with you?
Day three, here we go.
This is a lot tougher
than I ever thought it was.
Kayla is gagging a lot,
that sucks energy out of you.
The last thing I wanna do
is have my partner
have to tap out
because she's dehydrated.
I think my job today
is to make sure
she keeps drinking water.
Get some food if I can.
Whatever I can
do to help out, I will.
C'mon, take the damn thing.
Oh, you son of a bitch!
I got a turtle!
Oh, my gosh! This is insane.
Kayla, you know
how to cook terrapin?
Nope! That's great.
I feel bad for him,
but also at the same
time, we're lucky as heck.
I think I know a way
to humanely kill him.
Please, yeah.
I've watched a couple
of videos on this.
- All right.
- So if we take our finger
- and put it in his rectum.
- Okay.
His head will poke
out and then we can chop
- his head off.
- Chop his head off?
So now we're
gonna poke at him...
Am I sticking
my finger in his butt?
Or you wanna stick
your finger in his butt?
I think I should probably stick
my finger in his butt, so
you can chop his head off.
So, this is a tag-team action?
- Yeah.
- All right. Super.
All right, thank you.
I appreciate your sacrifice.
Okay, let's go.
It's all right.
Oh, this is terrible.
This is not humane at all.
No. Let me...
You know what?
Sorry.
Kayla, I think I'm gonna
need your help here.
Okay, what do you want me to do?
I need...
Pull... Pull this tight.
Pull it tight. Okay?
Keep it tight, please.
- Okay.
- Kayla,
it's all right. It's
all right. It's okay.
It's okay.
All right, it's
almost over, okay?
It's almost over, okay?
Oh, that's terrible.
Turtles are such
sweet creatures.
They don't hurt anybody.
I did not think I'd
be feeling this way.
I'm pretty sensitive
with animals.
Oh, man! I can't believe I'm...
Wow.
This is survival and
I have to look at it
through a different lens.
I need to eat it
to keep going forward
with this challenge.
Other than fish,
it's the first thing
I've ever killed.
It's just sad
because they're so cute.
They are cute.
My daughter
has, like, three turtles,
so I'm starting
to feel really bad.
But we gotta do
what we have to do.
I just needed a good cry.
It's all right.
Have a good cry and let it out,
and then, move on.
Yeah.
All right, let's eat this
before the flies do.
Yeah.
I thought I was
gonna have a problem
with eating this, but...
not at all.
No?
I mean, it's okay.
You don't gotta eat it.
I think I already
have it in my head
that it's a turtle, so yeah.
It's all right.
Here you go. Drink up.
I'm getting worried about Kayla.
She doesn't seem too keen
on drinking a lot
of water right now
because of the
nausea she's feeling.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
And it seems she's headed down
the wrong path right now.
All right, I think we've
got extra shade, Kayla.
What's up?
Just feeling a little down.
What's
going on? Tell me.
I just don't
wanna be here anymore.
You don't? Why?
I'm tired.
The nausea is
really getting to me.
Yeah?
Have you pretty much
made up your mind?
I don't know yet.
Okay. Well, let's talk,
because I want you to stay.
Yeah. I think
mentally I can do it,
I just, physically,
my whole body hurts,
the thought of
sitting on this ground
one more night...
- I know nights are tough.
- Yeah.
I really do. They are.
They are tough as heck.
The nights are the toughest.
And that's all I
can think about.
I like having you
here, I can tell you that.
And I'd feel like I'm
sort of failing, too,
if you leave, to
tell you the truth.
No, you're doing great.
No, I know,
but I mean, this whole...
I just think I
could've mentally...
Well, mentally and physically
prepared myself
for South Africa.
It's hot. It's so humid.
It's hard to breathe.
It's okay.
You're supposed to
have these emotions.
Look at this,
you get to do this.
- Yeah.
- This is an opportunity
no one ever gets to do. I
think you can stick it out.
You are a mentally
strong person.
- Yeah.
- And you don't want
- to mentally break now.
- Yeah.
All right, well, lets'
see what tonight holds
and hopefully tomorrow
we'll be back in.
You're strong.
You got this. All right?
- All right.
- Okay.
Thanks, Scott!
If my partner
leaves, I'm screwed.
I have fire because
of her and I don't know
if I can maintain it by myself.
I need her just as
much as she needs me.
Hey, it's okay.
You're okay.
Oh, God.
I'm sorry, I wish
I had let you tap out.
Yeah, I can't do this anymore.
Yeah, I wouldn't
be able to either.
Yeah, last night was rough.
Yeah, it was.
If you're sitting
there watching,
don't think that
you can do this,
it's harder than it looks.
It really is, actually.
It really is.
I gotta tell you,
I wouldn't have
made it past day one
if it wasn't for
you. Like, really.
Two heads really
are better than one.
- Thank you, Scott.
- All right?
- I appreciate it.
- All right.
- Best of luck to you.
- Best of luck to you, too.
- What's going on, Kayla?
- I'm ready to go.
You're tapping out?
All right, Kayla.
- Goodbye, Scott.
- Bye.
Best of luck to you.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate everything.
You got this.
Thank you.
I was lucky I got a
really good partner.
I feel a little bad
leaving Scott,
but I feel a lot better
because I know
he's got the skills
to make it on his own
and I wasn't providing much.
I don't have any
regrets leaving.
I gave it my all
and I'm proud of
myself for trying.
The harsh conditions
and excessive vomiting
forced Kayla from the challenge.
Five pounds
lighter, her early exit
drops her PSR from 4.5 to 3.1.
Goodbye, South Africa.
I gotta admit it's
nice being able to, uh,
have all the water to myself
and not monitor
how much I drink.
I don't have to worry
about Kayla now, I guess.
Not that I had a problem
doing that, I really didn't,
but now I'm gonna go
ahead and just focus on me.
Oh, no. This is getting hard.
I'm a little nervous.
I'm gonna have
ten days on my own.
It's extremely crucial
that I stay on top of
every aspect of survival,
especially maintaining the boma,
keeping the fire going.
Why is this being a
problem right now?
I need that protection
from the predators,
especially when
it's just yourself.
Tonight is my first night
spending it alone
in South Africa.
I got a fire going, my
boma is pretty built up.
I'm a little nervous,
but I can handle this.
So, we got something rustling
around the bushes over here.
Don't go after my boma now.
C'mon. What is it?
Something's out there right now.
It's pretty big
and pretty close.
I don't know what it is.
I gotta keep my ears peeled
if I gotta jump up
in the stream...
Just woke up. Day five.
Last night I didn't really get
much sleep.
I heard a bunch of movement
in the bush around my boma.
Black rhino right here.
One, two, three.
Yeah, you can smell
the urine, too.
It was right here,
right by my boma.
They smell me,
they definitely do.
They know I'm here
or else they would not
be doing this.
That scares me.
I'm almost through
my first pile of wood
and I don't even know
if I'm halfway
through the night yet.
I wish I could just sleep
through the night,
I'm so tired. I know I can't.
I just wake up because
I gotta tend to the fire.
If it goes out, predators come.
Just another rough night
in the boma.
I really like
that rock right there.
Slept like crap last night.
Tossing and turning
and keeping the fire going.
I know I gotta keep
the predators away,
but man, this lack of sleep,
and constantly
maintaining the fire,
I just gotta figure out
a better way.
I've seen people in challenges
where they make something
inside their boma
to contain any fire,
sort of like an oven,
and it will protect my fire,
it will keep the embers going.
Mainly because if it goes out
and I have trouble
starting it again,
I'm done for.
I have a rock base,
and I'm building up
off that base,
sealing everything in,
so that any kind of moisture
isn't allowed to get into this,
so I can store my coals in here.
I'm proud
of my little Flintstone hut.
This environment
is pretty harsh.
Like, extremely harder
than I thought it would be.
This should not be so hard.
I've never been
this weak in my life.
I haven't eaten for three days.
It's very crucial
that I get as much protein
as I possibly can right now.
Really?
Oh, you guys
are asking for it today.
Oh, wow.
It's a swallow.
It looks like it landed
a little too hard.
It's pretty cool.
Not every day
you get to do this.
I'm not gonna kill this thing.
It's too small,
there's no point.
I'm getting it somewhere
where it can dry off.
We'll get you in the sun.
I don't wanna kill
any more animals
other than fish.
I still feel guilty
about killing the turtle
and I know I can get
through this challenge
without having that weight
on my conscience.
All right, well...
He can fly.
Have a nice life.
Let's see here.
Today is the first day
I really actually
started to feel
depleted in my energy.
I gotta get some fish,
get some food in me.
Oh...
What do I got here?
Here we go. Dammit.
Another turtle?
Looks like it's hooked on you.
Oh, you swallowed it.
He swallowed it.
There's no way
I'm getting that out.
I gotta kill it.
I'm sorry.
Feels bad killing
this second turtle.
I don't like it,
but I just something
you gotta get used to,
in the end.
I have to remind myself
that this is survival.
This is food.
I just feel zapped today.
I'm hoping that I can find
a backup food source.
I need that energy
for the extraction.
Wow, look at that.
I think these are Kudu berries.
Once they turn brown,
I can boil them
and they're edible.
I'm just actually pretty happy
that I found these.
Oh, boy.
The wind is picking up.
I can feel the weather
changing a little bit.
There's definitely
some thunder on the horizon.
Yeah, here comes some rain.
Oh, man.
I'm gonna head back
and get prepared for the storm.
All right.
That should be enough
to ride through the storm.
I need to keep this fire going.
If it goes out,
and I have trouble
starting it again,
I'm not going
to be able to survive.
I'm done for.
It just came in hard and fast.
I was not expecting this.
It was a nice day out today.
I was supposed to rest.
I'm keeping this fire
with everything I got.
So far my covered fire pit is
really doing the job for me.
Look at that!
It's all draining
right towards my fire.
This is exactly
what I was afraid of.
Getting my firewood wet,
but I ain't done yet.
No way.
Oh, my gosh. Look at this!
It's up to my ankles.
If it keeps up,
I'm gonna be sitting
in a swimming pool all night.
I don't wanna go out this way.
Why don't you
just pee into the brushes?
Because this is not pee.
Oh...
Oh, no.
Do you wanna take
a diarrhea can with you?
Diarrhea can
ain't gonna do any good.
You got this.
Oh, man.
Oh, my gosh!
Look at this!
See how much buildup there is?
It's up to my ankles.
It's all draining
right towards my fire.
Looks like I'm getting
a blockage over here.
I gotta go back around
and loosen it up
on the other side.
This is all runoff coming
from outside of my boma.
I can't afford that
getting any higher.
C'mon, Scott.
There we go.
That should be enough.
Yes!
You can already see
the water level lowering here.
I think I'm gonna be okay.
I'm actually really proud
of myself right now.
This is what I thought
was gonna tap me out.
I've seen shows
where their fire
just gets drowned,
but I kept the fire going.
I made it through.
I've never had Kudu berry.
This will be interesting.
Plans for the last full day here
are to get ready for extraction
and to get some nutrition in me.
It tastes like a...
a tuna bar.
I'm just gonna go at it,
I'm gonna eat 'em,
get energy,
whatever I can get from them
because I need that energy
for the extraction.
And this right here,
me eating these,
is proof that I'm gonna
make it to the end.
It's a beautiful place.
It really is nature untouched.
I'm learning a lot
about myself out here.
I'm really happy
that this experience
has changed me a little bit.
I ended up using
more of my empathy
and patience throughout this,
and that's something
that really surprised me.
I'm leaving humble and I know
I'm gonna be
a better person after this.
Wow.
All right. Last day.
I'll take a gander at the map.
All right, so,
I'm following the river.
Definitely heard
the lions this morning
down at the path
I'm gonna be taking.
I'm a little worried about it.
I'm naked. I'm by myself.
I'm vulnerable
to every kind of aspect
of the bush right now.
Just gotta present myself
as that apex predator
and just a vigilant eye out.
To complete his challenge,
Scott will have
to hike a mile upstream
over rocky terrain
where lions patrol
the shores for easy prey.
From there, he must trek
north through dense brush,
home to the highly
aggressive black rhino.
After a grueling four-mile hike,
Scott will need to locate
a cropping of large boulders,
where he will be extracted.
I definitely need
to keep an eye out for any lion.
This is around the area
where I thought I heard them.
I really don't wanna run
into any predators,
especially on extraction day.
Looks like we're getting
into tall grass here.
I definitely need
to keep an eye out
for any kind of snake.
C'mon, Scott, almost there.
Woah, look at this.
This looks like a rhino.
It's really fresh.
I haven't seen
any scat this fresh
since I've been here.
Which way did he...
Maybe he is heading
the way I'm heading.
I gotta be able to keep
my head on a swivel.
They'll charge without warning,
so eyes peeled,
ears to the ground.
It's starting to get
pretty dense in the bush.
I can only see probably
20 yards around me
at all times
and that's if I'm lucky.
If anything, I gotta listen
for any kind of movement
in the bush right now.
It's all a lot of down trees.
I might be in elephant territory
right now.
They knock them down
and eat the leaves.
Oh, my gosh.
A heard of elephants.
This I never thought
I'd be able to see.
It's beautiful.
I'm just sort of at a loss
of words, really.
I don't know
how to describe this,
to see them
in their natural habitat...
This is worth the 14 days.
Oh, I'm so damn tired.
I'm seeing quite a lot
of big boulders right now.
Is this the big boulder?
This one right here?
Am I done?
Yes, there it is.
Dude, it's my ride. I made it.
I'm done.
I freaking did it! Yeah!
All right.
Oh, man.
I made it.
See ya later, bushville.
Being a fan and coming
in this challenge,
I had no experience,
but I adapted,
I learned a lot about myself,
and now my confidence
has been boosted.
I'm not saying I'm a new person,
I'm just a better person
because of it.
And I'm in awe of myself
a little bit
that I made it, that I did this.
After 14 days
in the untamed expanse
of South Africa's Badlands,
ten of them
with only himself to rely on,
Scott completes the challenge,
losing a total of 27 pounds,
his Primitive Survival Rating
jumps from 4.4 to 5.8,
transforming Scott
from untested superfan
to proven survivalist.
Thank you, South Africa.
Farewell!
I'm out!
