12 Naked and Afraid veterans put their lives on the line and begin their 40 day and 40 night challenge in the sun-scorched bush of South Africa during the middle of a drought, while ...
Because It'S Going To Get Real.
[ Elephant Trumpets ]
Steven: Ryan?!
[ Whistles ]
Ryan?!
Oh, No, His Spear'S Here.
That'S Weird.
Yeah,
That Is Kind Of Strange.
'Cause It'S
The Heat Of The Day.
There'S No Way
He Should Be Running Around.
And All Of His Tools
Are Here.
Ryan?!
[ Whistles ]
[ Lions Growling And Roaring ]
¶?
It'S Night 28.
There'S Lions Out There.
My Diaphragm Is Killing Me.
It'S Probably Like
An 8 Out Of 10 Pain.
[Bleep]
[ Retching ]
God.
9 Out Of 10 Pain.
10 Out Of 10 -- I'M Passing Out.
There'S Lions.
I Can Hear Lions.
This Is Not
The Best Time To Be Sick.
Oh, My God.
It Hurts So Bad.
God.
[Bleep]
[ Men Singing
In Foreign Language ]
Narrator: Africa --
The Most Primal Place On Earth.
A Merciless Land
Of Predators And Prey.
Here, Searing Temperatures
Blast The Landscape,
Creating South Africa'S
Worst Drought In 50 Years.
Now 12 "Naked And Afraid"
Veterans
Will Put Their Lives On The Line
And Attempt The Impossible...
Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!
...To Survive
This Unforgiving Wilderness
For 40 Days And 40 Nights.
Ha!
On "Naked And Afraid," They'Ve
Already Endured 21 Days Of Hell.
[ Crying ] I'M Not Quitting.
I'M Gonna Do It.
Narrator:
Now It'S Hunt Or Be Hunted...
Stacey:
I Feel Like I'M Being Watched.
I Feel Like I'M Being Stalked.
[ Indistinct Shouting ]
Narrator: ...In A Desperate
Fight For Food And Water.
[ Lions Roaring ]
They'Re All Around Our Camp
Right Now.
To Make It Out Alive, They Must
Master The Environment,
Push The Limits
Of Human Endurance,
And Survive Each Other
For 40 Days.
Holy [Bleep]
Stacey: I Think It'S Gonna Be
Tremendously Difficult...
Aah!
...And It'S Gonna Hurt.
I Can'T Breathe.
I'M Going To Dehydrate
And Die.
This Is So Much Harder
Than I Thought It Would Be.
[ Siren Wails ]
Fear Will Kill You.
If You Panic, You'Re Gonna Die.
[ Screaming ]
[ Voice Breaking ]
Make The Pain Stop, Please.
Please!
[ Crying ]
Narrator:
This Is "Naked And Afraid Xl."

There'S More Dangerous Animals
Out Here
Than Anyplace I'Ve Ever Been
In The World,
So I'M Not Gonna Lie,
It'S Nerve-Racking.
Damn,
Look At That Elephant!
21 Days Is A Challenge,
But Now I Got 40.
So, We'Re Basically Doubling
What The Human Body
Is Capable Of.
Steven:
There'S Giraffes, Wildebeest.
Oh, My God.
That Is So Crazy.
Stacey:
I'M Extremely Concerned.
If We Don'T Have
Our Wits About Us,
We'Re Gonna Be Victims
Of This Place.
We Could Die Really Easily.
Jake: 21 Days Is One Thing,
But 40'S Entirely Different.
You Can'T Let Your Guard Down
For A Half-Second.
All Right.
Clarence: My Job For The Next
40 Days Is To Stay Alive.
I Mean, This Is
Next-Level Biblical.
Like, This Is, Like, Adam
And Eve After We Got Kicked Out.
Here We Go.
Just Got Real.
Nobody'S Qualified To Be
Out Here Naked For 40 Days.
I Don'T Care Who You Are, How
Big Of A Survivalist You Are,
This Is "Naked And Afraid Xl."
This Is 40 Days.
This Is 12 People.
This Is In Africa,
With The Biggest, Baddest,
Meanest Predators On The Planet.
And It'S All Gonna Start
Right Here.
Let'S Do This.
You'Re Welcome, South Africa!
Narrator:
The Challenge Takes Place
In The Foothills Of Africa'S
Lebombo Mountains.
Here The 12 Survivalists
Begin Their Challenge
In Four Groups Of Three,
Each Reflecting
A Unique Social Dynamic.
In The West, One Woman
Joins Forces With Two Men
In A Disparate Trio
Of Survivalists
With Conflicting Strategies.
They'Ll Descend Sotho Gorge,
A Dry, Narrow Canyon Plagued
By Scorching Temperatures
And Legions
Of Bloodthirsty Ticks.
This Is Ridiculously Hot.
People See Me, And They Say,
"Hey, This Guy'S From Baltimore.
How'S He Gonna Make It,
You Know?
He Didn'T Grow Up Hunting.
He'S Not A Mountain Man."
But I'Ve Been Homeless.
I'Ve Lived On The Street.
I'Ve Made It Through
The 21 Days.
I'M Not The Best Swimmer,
But This Is The Only Way.
It'S The Only Way.
I Will Endure.
Hello.
Hi!
I'M Assuming
That You'Re Here Doing
The Same Thing I'M Doing.
Right.
I Hope So, Or Else...
We'Re Really Lost.
Oh, I'M Stacey.
I'M Clarence.
Nice To Meet You.
Nice To Meet You.
Last Time I Did The Challenge...
Aah!
I Was Burned Over 10% Of My Body
With Boiling Water.
And They Made Me Leave Because
There Was A Risk Of Infection.
So It Looks Like There'S Water
Along This Ravine.
I Am Here For Redemption.
Careful Of These Thorns
Right Here.
That Looks Like
A Porcupine Quill.
That'S Encouraging.
Porcupine'S Good Eatin'.
Ohh! Ohh!
It'S So Hot.
Oh, Hey.
Hey!
I Am So Glad To See You,
But I Am So Much Happier
To See That Pot, Dude.
Narrator:
With Water Scarce, Each Group
Is Supplied With A Pot.
All Right.
In Addition,
Each Survivalist Has Brought
A Blade And
A Personal Survival Tool.
I'M Jake.
Hi, Jake.
I'M Stacey.
Nice To Meet You.
Stacey: Oh, God.
That Was Hell, Dude.
I'M Clarence.
Nice To Meet You,
Clarence.
Well, Okay.
I'Ll Definitely Remember It Now.
Thanks...For
That Little Tidbit.
I Saw It Looked Like There Was
A Bit Of A Pool Upstream,
So I Was Hoping Maybe
For Water.
It Looks Like It Opens Up
Just A Little Bit.
Shall We Do It?
Yeah, Let'S Do It.
God, That'S Blistering.
Oh!
Holy [Bleep]
Look At This Skull.
Here'S Another Skull.
This Must Be Where
Everybody Goes To Die.
[ Chuckles ]
Stacey Seems Like A Sweetheart.
She Seems Pretty Badass.
Lots Of Thorns.
Tired And Hot.
I'M Very Tired.
Very Hot.
Clarence Seems To Be
Very Vocal...
It'S So Hot!
It'S
[Bleep]Damn-Diculous.
...Jovial...
If Moses Could Do It
For 40 Days, We Can.
...And Loud.
Oh [Bleep]
Aah!
This Heat Is Causing Me
To Be Nauseous.
The Only Thing That Would
Make Me Happy
Is Awesome, Delicious,
Regular Amounts Of Water.
I See Water.
Stacey: Whoo!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Oh, There'S
The Tiniest [Bleep] Pond.
This Is Some
Nasty-Looking Water.
I Mean, It'S Disgusting,
But I Was Downstream
From You Guys A Ways,
And There Was No Pools There.
So, That'S
The Only Water Source We Found.
Uh, Guys,
This Is Elephant Poop.
It Sure Is.
The Water Has Got Poop In It,
And It'S Still,
Which Means There'S All Kinds Of
Stuff Living In It.
You Know, It'S Imperative
That We Boil It,
And...Hopefully,
That Will Be Enough.
All Right, Let'S Go Build
A Nice, Safe Shelter.
We'Ll Be Good Tonight.
Being Here Long-Term, I Think,
Would Be A Mistake.
Narrator:
Two Miles To The South,
An All-Male Group
Of Strong-Willed Hunters
Must Push Past Their Pride
In Order To Succeed.
They'Ll Make Camp At
Pondo Ravine Among Thorny Slopes
Heavily Trafficked
By Herds Of Elephants.
Hey, I Think
I See Someone.
What Is That?
What Do I See Over The Ridge
Over There?!
Whoo!
Yeah!
What'S Up, Man?
Hell, Yeah.
Naked Hugs, Dude. [Bleep] It.
[ Laughs ]
Ohh! Yeah!
Good To See You, Man.
What'S Up, Dude?
Nice. Steven.
Hey, Man. I'M Ryan.
Pleasure, Dude.
Angel.
Angel.
Oh, My God.
I'M So Glad We Got --
I Can Already Tell The
[Bleep] Man Vibe Going On Here.
Everybody I'Ve Ever Talked To
About This Challenge
Tells Me It Can'T Be Done,
And I Love That.
Look At The Heart.
It'S Still Beating A Little Bit.
That'S Sick.
Damn Right.
'Cause I'M
The King Of The Forest.
But I'M Steven Lee Hall Jr.
I Mean, There'S Nothing
I Can'T Do.
Let'S Do It, Boys.
Ryan: Being In A Group
With Three Guys,
I Don'T See
Too Much Drama Happening,
Especially
With Our Personalities.
I Don'T Want To Jinx It,
But This Is Gonna Be Too Easy.
Team Kick-Ass
Right Here, Dude!
I Know We'Re Gonna Be
Very Successful.
I'M Gonna Try
To Find Some Shade
Where We'Re Gonna Build
A Shelter.
Yeah, For Sure.
Oh, My God.
Dude, Look -- Elephants.
Ryan: Wow.
There'S A Whole Herd Of Elephant
Behind Me.
How Crazy Is That?
You Know,
There Are No Cages Out Here.
These Animals Can Kill You.
Oh, This Is A Good Spot.
I Like This.
We Got Some Big Trees
Around Us Already.
That'S The Middle,
Pretty Much Where Your Pot Is.
And Then Build Diameter
Around It.
Sounds Good.
Narrator:
To Defend Against Predators,
The Survivalists Have No Choice
But To Employ Tribal Tactics
And Build Thorny,
Spiked Barricades, Or Bomas,
Around Their Camps.
The Areas In Between The Trees,
We Can Put
A Bunch Of Thorn Bushes.
Just A Lot Of Brush In The Way
To Deter Those Animals
That, You Know, Want To Eat Us.
Narrator:
Four Miles To The Southeast,
Three Determined Women Will Test
Their Ability To Survive
As An All-Female Trio
At Swati Valley,
A Virtual Oasis
In The Parched Foothills.
The Valley'S Steep Terrain
Traps Precious Water
And Draws Prey...
And Predators From Miles Around.
Tawny: So Hot.
How Do You Guys Feel
About This Area?
That Tree'S Amazing
'Cause It'S So, Like,
Shading This Area,
You Know?
I Was Thinking Of Starting Fire
And Getting Some Water Going.
Cool.
How Do You Guys Feel
About That?
Alyssa: Yeah.
I'M Really Glad
That I'M In An All-Girls Group
'Cause I Just --
I Like Hanging Out With Girls.
And Sometimes Males
Intimidate Me.
Smoking.
Wait, Wait,
It'S Still There.
Hell, Yeah.
I Don'T Think That Men Are
Necessarily Stronger Than Women
At Surviving,
But I Believe A Male Would Be
The Best Complement
To My Survival Style.
So, We'Ll See How It Goes,
I Guess.
Alyssa: I Was Thinking
Of Starting The Shelter.
We'Re Gonna Want It Tonight,
For Sure.
[Bleep]
Oh, My God.
Are You Okay?
Whoa, That One Hurt.
I Stepped On
A Really Big Thorn.
I Mean, Look At The Spikes
On That Tree.
Ohh, That'S Deep.
We Don'T Have To
Finish This Shelter Today.
We Have All Day Tomorrow.
We Can'T Waste
Too Much Time.
We Can Always Improve It.
Exactly.
We Just Need
To Get Something
For Night Critters
Rolling On Us.
[ Sighs ] Ooh!
That'S A Good Wake-Up Call.
Narrator:
Five Miles To The East,
A Reclusive Survivalist
Contends With Two Tough Women
At Tsonga Basin, An Area
Of Blistered, Rocky Terrain
That Amplifies
The Punishing Heat.
Just Follow This Game Trail.
All Trails Lead To Water.
This Ground Is Rough.
Mm. I'M Just Glad
I'M Not Alone.
Yeah.
I'M Still Soaking That In.
Kim: My Last Challenge,
I Was Alone For 17 Days,
And I Had To
Really Rely On Myself.
With Three People,
It'S Strength In Numbers.
That'S More Hands, And I Think
We'Ll Make A Great Team.
Man, It Is Hot As [Bleep]
Out Here, If Anyone'S Wondering.
[ Chuckles ]
Carrie:
Most Of My Survival Skills,
I Gained In My Four Years
In The Marine Corps.
I'M Feminine, But I Think
The People That Are Close To Me
Would Say That I Am Very Tough.
You Know, I Spent My Childhood
In The Country,
And Then I Joined
The Marine Corps When I Was 18.
Yeah,
That'S Pretty Cool.
For A Girl To Be A Marine,
I Mean, That'S Hard-Core.
So, I Mean, That Tells
A Lot About Her Toughness.
Like, There'S
Something Inside Of Her
That I Don'T Think Will Give Up.
There'S A Lot Of Trees
Pushed Over Right Here,
So We Know There'S
Big Animals Hanging Out.
Yeah.
I Have
Indigenous Living Skills.
I'M A Quarter Shoshone,
And I Started Studying The Old
Ways When I Was A Small Child.
This Was Somebody'S
Scratching Post.
Uh-Oh. Territory.
But It'S Definitely Important
To Have Three People Out Here.
I'D Prefer To Have 6 People,
12 People, Especially, You Know,
In A Dangerous Situation
Like This.
There'S Water.
Hell, Yeah.
I'M Definitely Dehydrated
Already.
Approach
Very Cautiously.
[ Creature Growls ]
Oops. Stop.
I Just Heard Something Moving
Down There.
What In The Hell
Is That?
See The Warthogs
Over There?
[Bleep]
No, That'S Two Lions.
[Bleep] They'Re Both Staring
Straight At Us.
Oh, I Know.
Holy [Bleep]
I'M Actually Scared.
I Mean, It Would Only Take
Like A Couple Seconds,
And "Krch!" That'S It.
Carrie: [Bleep] There Are Lions
Right At Our Water Source.
I Am [Bleep] Terrified.
Definitely
Doesn'T Feel Like A Game.
[ Lions Growling ]
[ Whimpers ]
Narrator:
After Sundown In The African
Bush, Predators Rule The Night.
Under Cover Of Darkness,
Carnivores Such As Lions
And Hyenas Can See
Six Times Better Than Humans.
[ Creatures Howling ]
So, I'M First Watch.
And I Swear To God, Something'S
Moving Around Out There.
I Don'T Know What It Is, But
It'S Pretty Freaking Sketchy.
[ Lions Growling And Roaring ]
We'Re All Awake Right Now.
It Sounds Like There'S A Lion
Right Behind Our Camp.
[ Growling And Roaring
Continues ]
So [Bleep] Scary.
Morning One In The Books.
How You Feeling There,
Ryan?
[ Laughs ]
Uh, A Little Rough.
Yeah.
I Thought I Heard A Big Cat
Less Than 200 Yards Out.
Didn'T Get Eaten,
So...1, Us.
Hey, Guys!
Warthogs.
They Were Very Skittish.
We'D Have To Get Up There
In The Morning
And Really Post Up Shop.
There'S No Sneaking Up
On These Things.
Yeah, It Would Be
A Hell Of A Kill.
We All Need To Get
Some Pretty Heavy-Duty Spears.
Yeah.
My Strategy For This
40-Day Challenge Is Gonna Be
A Lot Of Hunting To Get
The Protein That We Need --
Something That We Can Smoke
And Live On For Multiple Weeks.
Steven: I'Ve Been Working On
My Atlatl, My Dart Thrower.
¶ Yeah-Ah ¶
I Think Primitive Man
Would Be Pretty Impressed
With My Skills Here.
Nice.
Hell, Yeah.
I'M Killing Something Big
Out Here.
Angel: This Is Warthog Bone
That I Found, And, Man,
It Has To Be One Of The Toughest
Bones I Ever Played With.
I Mean, It'S Just --
It Feels Like Ivory.
Ryan: I'M Working On A Net
Using My 100-Pound Fishing Line.
You Know, I Think A Warthog
Would Easily Get Tangled Up
In This.
Steven: Yeah, I Agree.
Long Enough For Us
To Finish Him.
Finish Him!
Fatality!
Narrator:
Two Miles North At Sotho Gorge,
Jake, Clarence, And Stacey
Have Made Camp
Near A Dwindling Water Hole.
Holy [Bleep]
Don'T Be Stealing My Water,
Bitch.
I Am Off To Get Another Round
Of Drinking Water.
My Survival Style Has Always
Been Balls To The Wall.
You Know, I'M Just Really Gonna
Carpe The Diem Out Of It
And Just, You Know,
Kick Some Ass.
Oh, My God.
It'S So Good, Huh?
No.
It'S Really Swirled Around
Like Diarrhea Now.
It'S Gross.
Clarence: There'S Elephant
[Bleep] And Leopard [Bleep]
And All Kinds Of Little
Raisinet-Sized [Bleep]
All In The Water.
¶ If It'S Brown ¶
¶ Drink It Down ¶
Chug-A-Lugs.
Ugh, I Can'T Anymore.
You Got To.
I Just Vomited
A Little Bit.
I'M Full On Water.
I Really Am.
I Don'T Think
That'S A Wise Idea. More Water!
'Cause If You Don'T
Do Water,
Then You'Re Not Gonna Be Able
To Be Very Helpful.
I Really Want To Move
To A Better Water Source
As Fast As Possible,
Sooner Than Later.
I Don'T See An Advantage
Of Staying With [Bleep] Water.
I Don'T Know How Long You Guys
Plan To Be Here, Though.
How Complacent Do We Want To Be
With This Water?
Right Now,
That'S Our Only Option.
It'S The Middle Of A Drought,
So I Feel Having Access To Any
Water Source Right Now Is Huge.
We'Ve Boiled It.
It'S Tasted Perfectly Fine.
So, I'M Not Super-Hard-Pressed
To Move On.
Okay.
I'M Hoping Clarence
Kind Of Kicks It Into Gear
Pretty Soon Here.
I Feel Like He'S Not Really
In The Right Head Space
To Get Out There Killing Yet.
Narrator: At Tsonga Basin,
Where Shade Is Scarce,
Carrie, Darrin,
And Kim Have Made Camp
A Quarter Mile From Their
Water Hole In Order To Avoid
The Lions They Encountered There
The Day Before.
Carrie: Water'S, Like,
Constantly On My Mind.
As It Should Be Here.
Yeah.
Narrator:
Now, To Fight Off Dehydration,
They Must Make
The Long Round-Trip Excursion
To The Lakeshore
In Searing 109-Degree Heat.
Whoa. Okay.
[Bleep]Damn It.
You All Right?
Yeah, This Ground Is
Unbearable.
I Think That We Should Have
Built A Shelter Closer To Water.
Like, Even Here, We Can, Like,
Look And See
What'S Over The Water,
You Know?
We Can See
What'S Coming.
Kim: But That'S Also A Bad Thing
Being So Close.
A Lion Can Easily Sneak Up
On Us.
I Don'T Know.
I Just Know That Just That Walk
Right There...
Kim:
I'M Sure There Are Many Places
That We Could Have Chose
To Have Our Camp.
I Mean, Every Place Has
Its Pros And Cons.
Yeah, Let'S Talk
To Darrin First.
Oh, My God.
Darrin!
Darrin: Kimberly!
Need A Hand?
[Bleep]
Carrie And I Were
Just Thinking
Maybe If We Were
Just A Little Bit Closer...
It'S Far.
You Good?
Go Sit Down In The Shade.
Yeah.
I Mean, Just Walking
From There, Here,
I Am So Dehydrated
Right Now.
Darrin: Yeah, We Don'T Want
To Build A Shelter Down There
'Cause At Night,
Every Animal Comes To Eat.
And, Like, The Elephants
Will Be Like,
"What Are You Doing
At My [Bleep] Watering Hole?"
Darrin: In My Experience
As A Survivalist,
I Know To Make It A Little More
Uncomfortable On Me
To Make It A Lot Safer
For Me And My Group.
[ Yawns ]
[ Elephants Trumpeting ]
Narrator:
After A Sleepless Night,
Phaedra, Alyssa, And Tawny
Struggle To Fortify
Their Perimeter
Against Animal Threats.
Tawny:
It Was A Really Rough Night.
Pretty Much No Sleep.
And A Lion Came And Really
Scared The Hell Out Of Us.
So, We Do Need
To Get Our Perimeter Secure
So We Don'T Have
Any Visitors Tonight.
So Hot.
I'M So [Bleep] Thirsty.
All Three Of Us
Are Sunburnt.
We'Re Dehydrated.
Working In The Sun Is --
It'S Just Not A Good Idea.
Phaedra: I'M Gonna Sit Down
For Just A Minute, Okay?
Alyssa: You Want To Go
In The Shade?
No, I'Ll Just Sit Here.
How You Feeling?
I'M Feeling
A Little Nauseous.
It'S Hotter Than Hell,
And Phaedra Started Getting
Nauseous And Dizzy.
And That'S, Like, The First Sign
Of Heat Exhaustion.
[ Sighs ]
Coming Into This,
I Was Aware Of The Heat.
Once We'Re Out Here, Though,
It Really Sets In.
You Know,
You Think You'Re Prepared,
But You'Re Obviously Not.
[ Insects Chirping ]
[ Burping, Coughing ]
[ Retching ]
Tawny:
Phaedra Gets Sick.
[ Retching, Coughing ]
And Then
Alyssa Gets Sick.
And I'M Just Thinking,
"Oh, No, I'M Gonna Be Alone."
And I Can'T Do It Alone,
Especially When I'M Trying
Not To Die.
I Think I Pushed Myself
A Little Too Hard Yesterday.
Tawny: I Agree.
Like, I Think I Got
A Little Worried With,
Like, Our Shelter Perimeter
And Animals.
And I Kind Of Pushed Myself
With The Heat Of The Day.
Alyssa:
This Place Has Kicked Our Ass.
It'S Just Really Hard
With Three People.
This Is A Hard Environment,
And It'S Unsafe To Be
Without A Big Group.
Jake:
So Today The Three Of Us
Are Gonna Go Down
To Our Watering Hole.
We'Ve Seen Movement In There.
Oh, See That?
I Just Hope It'S As Big
As Its Splashes Are.
Stacey Has A Fishing
Hook And Some Line,
So We Figured We'D Try Our Luck
At Catching A Fish.
[Bleep] Yeah!
Yeah!
Holy [Bleep]
Stacey:
Get It! Oh!
[Bleep]Damn,
It Bent The Hook.
Oh [Bleep] This [Bleep]
Not Getting Out Of Here.
Almost Took My Finger Off.
Look At That.
It'S Okay.
I'M Not Bleeding.
We Found An Amazing Fish,
And We Let It Go.
Sorry, It Hurts.
[ Sighs Deeply ]
I Feel That My Body
Is Dying For Food Right Now.
Wow, That'S Amazing!
Got It?
Ow, He'S Biting Me.
Well, I Can'T Eat This.
Why?
I'M Allergic
To Lobster And Crabs.
That'S All Right,
We'Ll Get You Something.
Famished!
Clarence:
All Right, One Crab.
Good Job, Clarence.
Thanks Clarence.
That Was Good.
No Problem.
Ooh, That Looks
So Good.
Oh, Yeah.
It'S Really Good.
Mm-Hmm.
I Love Crab.
Mm-Hmm.
And The Soup
Is Full Of, Like,
Really Good Fat.
I Just Can'T Have
Any Of It.
You Can'T Have
Any Of The Fat, Either?
Yeah, I Don'T Want To Risk
Getting An Allergic Reaction.
I'M Gonna Go Down
To The River
And Try To Get
As Cool As I Can.
Okay.
Enjoy That Crab.
I Can'T Even Eat It.
Allergies.
You Can'T Survive [Bleep]
Carrie: Dude, I Just Burned
A Big-Ass Tick.
Yeah, You'Re Gonna Want
To Check For Ticks.
Carrie:
This Place Is Reeling In Ticks,
And I Am Terrified Of Ticks.
And I'M Going To Put
A Bunch Of Ashes
From Our First Fire
Inside The Shelter
To Ward Off The Ticks
That Were Killing Us.
Bugs Don'T Like
To Crawl Through Ash,
So If You Put It Down,
Usually,
They Won'T Want
To Crawl Through It.
That'S
A Really Good Idea.
So, Hopefully, Tonight,
I'M Not Drug Off By
A [Bleep] Giant [Bleep] Tick.
In The Marine Corps, You Know,
They Teach Us How To Be Tough
And Disconnect.
But I Think That There'S
A Lot Of Things Here
That You Can'T Prepare For
And Just A Lot Of Emotions
That You Cannot Prepare For.
[ Groans ]
[Bleep]
Oh, My God. This Is Bad.
My Feet Are Cut Up.
I Cannot Catch Up
On Hydration.
Oh, My God.
Oh. Oh, No.
Everything Here
Is Out To Get You.
There'S Only Certain Plants
That You Can Pull Up
Without Being Covered In Thorns.
Worst Of All,
There'S Only Certain Grass
That You Can Walk Through
Without Being Literally
Covered In Ticks.
I'M Just Feeling
So Tired And Sick.
I Never Thought
That I Would Be Saying This,
But I Am Really Having
A Rough Time Out Here.
Ryan: What If We Snare
Like Two With This Net?
We'Re Gonna Have
A Freaking Roast.
Steven:
Shelter, Water, Fire, Food.
It'S Just A Constant Thing.
If You Start Slacking
On One Or Two Of Those,
It Can Be Disastrous.
I'M Going On A Warthog Hunt
In Freaking Africa.
[ Chuckles ]
It'S A Dream Come True, Baby.
When You'Re Hunting
These Animals Primitively,
I Mean, You Don'T Have
Scent Blocker.
You Don'T Have Camo.
You Don'T Have
A Compound Bow Or A .30-30.
You Know, You Literally Have
A Stick And A Spear.
Ryan: Back In Here
Is A Really Nice Area
That Kind Of Overlooks
Our Watering Hole,
And It Provides
A Lot Of Coverage.
It'S Like A Sniper
Position Right Here.
I'M Gonna Put It Right Here
In The Mud
Where All Their Hooves Are.
Use That Rock
To Bang It In.
Looks Good, Guys.
You Guys Are Awesome.
You Don'T Want
To Sit With Us, Huh?
I Think The More People
We Have Here,
The Worse, You Know,
Chances We Have.
Steven:
Yeah, I Agree.
Angel: The Less People For
A Hunt, I Think, Is The Better.
The Less Noise, The Less Scent.
I Want To Be There.
I Tell You What --
It'S Gonna Be A Lot Of Fun.
It'S Gonna Be Super-Cool,
But I Don'T Want
To Jeopardize The Hunt.
There'S Got To Be
Some Thirsty Animals Out There.
Watch It Be, Like,
A [Bleep] Lion.
Oh [Bleep] That Would Be
[Bleep] Terrifying.
I'M All Up For Being A Badass,
But Not Lion Badass.
No.
I Heard Something
Up There.
Like The Grunt
The Warthog Made.
Go, Go, Go,
Go, Go, Go!
Ryan:
Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!
[ Warthog Squealing ]
Dude, There'S No --
He Was So [Bleep] Strong.
Dude, He Ran Through
That Like It Was Nothing.
Steven: A Pig That Size --
He Probably Got 315 Pounds
Of Meat, You Know?
I Was Really Hoping To Get
Some Sort Of Protein Today.
We Need To Break
That Streak Tomorrow,
Or Else It'S Gonna Really Start
Affecting Our Energy.
[Bleep]
This Is The Most Primitive Land
On The Planet.
Nothing'S Easy Out Here.
We Should Have Just
Thrown Spears.
[ Hippos Grunting ]
I Wasn'T Expecting The Sun
To Be This Brutal.
I Just Feel Physically,
Like, So Drained.
I Just Don'T Know
If I --
If I'M As...Tough
As I Thought I Was. [ Chuckles ]
[ Lions Roaring In Distance ]
Holy [Bleep]
That'S Definitely A Lion.
That'S A Male Lion.
It'S In The Valley.
You Can Hear It Echoes.
[Bleep]
There Is
Definitely A Lion.
They Do Sound Like
They'Re Getting Closer,
So That'S Terrifying.
[ Roaring Continues ]
Carrie:
Last Night Was Scary.
The Lion'S Roar Will Shake You.
Kim:
I Think We Were All Awake
Whenever We'D Hear
The Lion Roar.
Darrin: Yeah.
Carrie: Each Time, We Thought
That They Were Coming Closer.
Definitely Don'T Sleep
In Africa,
'Cause It Will
Definitely Get You.
Ugh. [Bleep]
Carrie, Come Back.
Where'S She At?
Just Walking?
Kim:
Carrie Is A Very Strong Woman,
But She Slept
Out Here Naked,
Listening To Lions Roar.
Ever Since,
She'S Been A Little Distant.
[ Crying ]
All I'M, Like, Thinking
Right Now Is, Like, It'S Just --
It'S Really
Overwhelming For Me.
And It'S Hard To, Like,
Know That We'Re Stuck Here.
There'S A Lion.
They'Re Absolutely Scary
To Be Just Living Around.
Maybe I Bit Off A Little Bit
More Than I Can Chew Out Here.
Oh, There'S An Elephant.
Nice.
Yeah, Look,
There'S Elephants.
Pretty Cool-Looking.
Yeah.
[ Sniffles ]
What Up, Guys?
Kim: Hey.
What'S Going On?
So, I Just Wanted
To Talk To You Guys.
As You Guys Both Know,
I'Ve Kind Of Just Been Having,
Like, A Rough Time
Out Here,
Both Physically
And Mentally.
Maybe I Bit Off A Little Bit
A Little More Than I Can Chew,
And Then I'M Just Not Mentally
In The Game Right Now.
And Therefore, I Feel Like
I'M Not Up To The Challenge.
And I Don'T Think
That I'M Gonna Stay.
Kim: I Didn'T Expect This.
It'S Really Kind Of A Surprise.
The Idea Of Losing One Of
The Most Important Resources
That You Have Out Here --
Another Mind, Two Hands --
That Worries Me.
I Hate To Say
Goodbye To You.
I Know.
But We Can'T Force You.
I Know.
We'Re Down One Partner,
And, You Know, That Sucks.
The More People We Have,
The More Defensible We Are,
The Stronger We Are.
A Lone Man'S A Dead Man
In This Environment.
Carrie: I Came Out Here Thinking
That I Could Take On Africa
The Way I Did Cambodia.
But Africa Is Relentless.
The Heat And All The Predators
And All The Ticks
Dictate Everything.
And I Can'T Survive
40 Days Here.
How Are We Gonna
Do This?
Do What?
Just The Two Of Us?
Just Like A 21-Day.
Right.
Two Of Us -- Team.
To The End.
Kim:
It'S Kind Of A Scary Thing
To See Someone
Disappear That Quickly.
It Just Makes You Realize,
Like, How Tough
This Environment Is.
[ Elephant Trumpets ]
Okay, Do You Want
To Just Herd And Club?
Okay.
Jake: Yesterday,
Clarence Provided Stacey And I
With A Crab,
Which We Were Very Grateful For.
And Hopefully, Today We Can
Return The Favor With Fish.
Is Clarence
Coming Down?
No, He'S Resting
In The Shade.
Oh.
Right Now,
I'M Going To Relax.
Our Water Supply Sucks,
So Until We Move
To Where The Water'S Flowing,
I Have To Conserve
As Much Water As I Can.
And I'M Gonna Try To Stay Cool
And Out Of The Sun
So I'M Not Sweating
All My Water Away.
Everything I'M Doing
Is For Water.
Everything.
[ Grunts ]
Yes?
Ohh!
[Bleep]
Get It!
Get Him!
Get Him!
Where Is He?
Oh, He'S In There.
Close The Gate!
There He Is.
There He Is.
Don'T Jump Back Up.
No!
Yes!
Yay!
[ Both Laughing ]
Dude,
That Was Awesome.
Jake:
I Am So Excited About This Fish.
I Hate Fish,
But That Being Said,
I Am Going To Eat
The Holy Hell Out Of It.
You Know, Day 40. Pfft!
Day 80.
You Know, See You
At The See-Saw, Cindy.
Ready For Some Fish?
I'M Not Gonna
Eat Any Fish.
You'Re Not Gonna Eat
Any Fish?!
Why Is That?
Stacey: Why?
You'Re Not Allergic
To Fish, Are You?
No. I'M Sweating A Lot
'Cause Of The Heat,
And I Don'T Want To Spend
Water Digesting Food,
So I'M Not Gonna
Eat Any.
Then We'Ll Drink
More Water, Clarence.
Well, I'Ll Definitely
Drink More Water,
But I'Ll Wait
Till You Guys Finish.
I Am Not Certain About
Clarence'S Strategy Out Here.
I Will Eat Anything
That'S Moving And Not Poisonous,
And He Seems On
The Other End Of The Spectrum.
I Know My Body,
And I'Ve Gone
Extended Periods Of Time
Without Food.
I'Ve Gone 30 Days
Without Food.
I'Ve Gone 21 Days
Without Food In Honduras.
I'Ll Be Fine.
Clarence:
My Strategy To Get Through
This Challenge Is To Fast.
My Secret Item
That I'M Bringing
Is Definitely
This Fat That'S Stored Up.
To Be Able To Go
An Extended Period Of Time
Without Eating,
It'S A Survival Skill
That'S Gonna Help Me
Get Through This 40 Days.
Clarence, Dude.
Really? Come On.
Stacey:
You'Re Accountable To Your Body.
You'Re Just Gonna
Let It Freaking Die?
That'S What It'S Doing.
It'S Eating Itself.
It'S Fish Fry Over Here.
It'S Delicious.
I Don'T Know How Much
More I'M Gonna Take.
That Just Seems, Like,
Really Dumb. [ Chuckles ]

Narrator:
All Of The Survivalists
On "Naked And Afraid Xl"
Have Previously Taken On
21-Day Challenges
Where Experts Gauged
Their Skills
And Assigned Them Individual
Primitive Survival Ratings,
Or Psrs.
But On This Joint
40-Day Challenge,
The 12 Must Achieve
A Sustainable Existence
In Larger Groups,
So Each Camp Receives A Shared
"Naked And Afraid Xl"
Rating, Or Xlr.
In Swati Valley, The
Collaborative All-Female Group
Begins With An Xlr Of 7.5.
Despite Their
Conflicting Strategies,
The Trio In Sotho Gorge Launches
With An Xlr Of 7.4.
At Pondo Ravine,
The Strong-Willed
All-Male Pack Deploys
With An Expert-Level 8.3 Xlr.
And At Tsonga Basin,
The Loss Of A Valuable Member
Has Hurt The Team'S Balance.
Starting With A Rating Of 6.7,
The Group'S Xlr Now Plunges
To 4.3.
As The Four Camps Attempt
To Brave The South African Bush,
Their Xlr Ratings
Will Be Monitored
Throughout The 40 Days...
If They Make It.
¶?
You Want Me To Go
Get The Water?
Whatever.
I'Ll Do This One.
Okay.
Stacey: Bye, Clarence.
Okay. I Don'T Think
He'S Gonna Feel Very Good
If He Doesn'T Eat
Something.
Yeah. Yeah.
My Outlook On Clarence Is
Extremely Negative Right Now.
He'S Not Eating What
We'Re Putting In Front Of Him,
And He'S Not Drinking Enough.
A Man That Size Needs
To Be Consuming
Close To A Gallon
Every Day In This Heat.
This Water'S Gross.
The Water Hole Is Nothing But
A Hole Full Of Piss And [Bleep]
And We'Re Boiling Piss
And [Bleep]
And We'Re Drinking
Piss And [Bleep] Water.
Ohh, Look At That.
There'S, Like, A Film On It.
I'M Not Handling It Well At All.
I Don'T Like Heat.
I Don'T Like
Not Having Access To Water.
I Want To Leave This Location
Right Now.
Here'S The Water.
Hot, Muddy Water.
It'S Not Looking Good.
I Can'T Stay Here.
We Have What We Need
Right At This Very Moment.
Jake:
It'S Not That Bad.
Nope.
Well, I Mean, For Me,
That'S The Best --
The Only Water
Source We'Ve Found.
I Mean,
It'S Not Awesome Water,
But I'M Very Concerned
About Walking Away From It.
I Don'T Feel Comfortable
With Staying.
This Pond'S
Gonna Be Difficult.
It'S [Bleep] Africa,
Dude.
It'S All
Gonna Be Difficult.
Yeah.
This Was, Like,
My Biggest Nightmare --
To Be Somewhere With Somebody
Who Was Gonna Be Whiny.
I Don'T Mean To Be A Bitch,
But I'M Kind Of Intolerant
To That Kind Of Behavior.
It'S Pissing Me Off.
You Know, I Want
To See You Drink.
I Can'T, Okay?
Survival Situation --
Maybe It'S Easy For You Guys
To Drink Piss Water.
It'S Not For Me. In My Mind,
I'M Getting Nauseous.
If I Throw This Stuff Up,
I'M Not Hydrated.
Then You'Re Not
A Survivalist.
If You Can'T Drink
[Bleep] Water,
You Are Not Gonna
Make It.
If I Can'T Move To Another Water
Source, I'M Not Gonna Make It!
I Like A Reliable
Source Of Water
That'S Gonna Get Me
Through 40 Days.
Well, Then, Maybe You Should
Be Sitting
In A [Bleep] Hotel Room
Flipping The Channels!
Anything That Comes
Out Of Your Mouth
Is Completely
[Bleep] Negative.
"The Water'S [Bleep]
It'S Too [Bleep] Hot.
I Don'T Feel Good."
The Water Is [Bleep]
It Is [Bleep] Hot!
It'S [Bleep] Hot.
Well, It'S Gonna
Be Hot For 40 Days.
I Don'T Know If You'Re Gonna
Be Here To Enjoy It,
But Get Used To It.
It'S Hot In The Rest
Of The Day.
I'M Trying
To Conserve Water.
We'Ve Barely Got
[Bleep] Water, Anyway.
Yeah, We All Know It.
You Want Me To Lie?
It'S Delicious?
No, But We Don'T Need
To Hear You Talk About It
Every [Bleep] Time.
But I Carry My Own.
I Gather Wood.
If You Carried Your Own,
You'D Be Drinking Water,
You'D Be Eating Food, And You'D
Be Shutting The [Bleep] Up!
Eating Food Is Not
What I Do For Survival, Okay?!
I Study This [Bleep],
I Read This [Bleep]
Really? You Do Not Have
A Biology Degree Like Me.
Your Body Is Gonna
Shut Down,
Your Mind Is Gonna
Shut Down,
And You'Re Gonna Be
A [Bleep] Liability To Us.
Okay, I'M Done.
I'M Leaving This Area,
And I'M Gonna
Go Find Someplace Else.
It'S Not Even A Scout,
It'S An Evacuation.
That'S The Stage I'M At,
So I'M Gonna Go.

21 Days Is A Challenge,
But Now I Got 40.
So, We'Re Basically Doubling
What The Human Body
Is Capable Of.

There'S Giraffes, Wildebeest.
Oh, My God.
That Is So Crazy.

I'M Extremely Concerned.
If We Don'T Have

We Could Die Really Easily.

But 40'S Entirely Different.
You Can'T Let Your Guard Down

And Eve After We Got Kicked Out.

Just Got Real.
Nobody'S Qualified To Be
Out Here Naked For 40 Days.

Big Of A Survivalist You Are,

This Is 40 Days.
This Is 12 People.
This Is In Africa,
With The Biggest, Baddest,
Meanest Predators On The Planet.
And It'S All Gonna Start
Right Here.
Let'S Do This.
You'Re Welcome, South Africa!
Narrator:
The Challenge Takes Place
In The Foothills Of Africa'S
Lebombo Mountains.
Here The 12 Survivalists
Begin Their Challenge
In Four Groups Of Three,
Each Reflecting
A Unique Social Dynamic.
In The West, One Woman
Joins Forces With Two Men
In A Disparate Trio
Of Survivalists
With Conflicting Strategies.
They'Ll Descend Sotho Gorge,
A Dry, Narrow Canyon Plagued
By Scorching Temperatures
And Legions
Of Bloodthirsty Ticks.
This Is Ridiculously Hot.
People See Me, And They Say,
"Hey, This Guy'S From Baltimore.
How'S He Gonna Make It,
You Know?
He Didn'T Grow Up Hunting.
He'S Not A Mountain Man."
But I'Ve Been Homeless.
I'Ve Lived On The Street.
I'Ve Made It Through
The 21 Days.
I'M Not The Best Swimmer,
But This Is The Only Way.
It'S The Only Way.
I Will Endure.
Hello.
Hi!
I'M Assuming
That You'Re Here Doing
The Same Thing I'M Doing.
Right.
I Hope So, Or Else...
We'Re Really Lost.
Oh, I'M Stacey.
I'M Clarence.
Nice To Meet You.
Nice To Meet You.
Last Time I Did The Challenge...
Aah!
I Was Burned Over 10% Of My Body
With Boiling Water.
And They Made Me Leave Because
There Was A Risk Of Infection.
So It Looks Like There'S Water
Along This Ravine.
I Am Here For Redemption.
Careful Of These Thorns
Right Here.
That Looks Like
A Porcupine Quill.
That'S Encouraging.
Porcupine'S Good Eatin'.
Ohh! Ohh!
It'S So Hot.
Oh, Hey.
Hey!
I Am So Glad To See You,
But I Am So Much Happier
To See That Pot, Dude.

With Water Scarce, Each Group
Is Supplied With A Pot.

A Blade And
A Personal Survival Tool.

Hi, Jake.
I'M Stacey.
Nice To Meet You.
Stacey: Oh, God.
That Was Hell, Dude.
I'M Clarence.
Nice To Meet You,
Clarence.
Well, Okay.
I'Ll Definitely Remember It Now.
Thanks...For
That Little Tidbit.
I Saw It Looked Like There Was
A Bit Of A Pool Upstream,
So I Was Hoping Maybe
For Water.
It Looks Like It Opens Up
Just A Little Bit.
Shall We Do It?
Yeah, Let'S Do It.
God, That'S Blistering.
Oh!
Holy [Bleep]
Look At This Skull.
Here'S Another Skull.
This Must Be Where
Everybody Goes To Die.
[ Chuckles ]
Stacey Seems Like A Sweetheart.
She Seems Pretty Badass.
Lots Of Thorns.
Tired And Hot.
I'M Very Tired.
Very Hot.
Clarence Seems To Be
Very Vocal...
It'S So Hot!
It'S
[Bleep]Damn-Diculous.
...Jovial...
If Moses Could Do It
For 40 Days, We Can.
...And Loud.
Oh [Bleep]
Aah!
This Heat Is Causing Me
To Be Nauseous.
The Only Thing That Would
Make Me Happy
Is Awesome, Delicious,
Regular Amounts Of Water.
I See Water.
Stacey: Whoo!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Oh, There'S
The Tiniest [Bleep] Pond.
This Is Some
Nasty-Looking Water.
I Mean, It'S Disgusting,
But I Was Downstream
From You Guys A Ways,
And There Was No Pools There.
So, That'S
The Only Water Source We Found.
Uh, Guys,
This Is Elephant Poop.
It Sure Is.
The Water Has Got Poop In It,
And It'S Still,
Which Means There'S All Kinds Of
Stuff Living In It.
You Know, It'S Imperative
That We Boil It,
And...Hopefully,
That Will Be Enough.
All Right, Let'S Go Build
A Nice, Safe Shelter.
We'Ll Be Good Tonight.
Being Here Long-Term, I Think,
Would Be A Mistake.
Narrator:
Two Miles To The South,

I See Someone.
What Is That?
What Do I See Over The Ridge
Over There?!
Whoo!
Yeah!
What'S Up, Man?
Hell, Yeah.
Naked Hugs, Dude. [Bleep] It.

What'S Up, Dude?

Hey, Man. I'M Ryan.

I'M So Glad We Got --
I Can Already Tell The
[Bleep] Man Vibe Going On Here.
Everybody I'Ve Ever Talked To
About This Challenge
Tells Me It Can'T Be Done,
And I Love That.
Look At The Heart.
It'S Still Beating A Little Bit.
That'S Sick.
Damn Right.
'Cause I'M
The King Of The Forest.
But I'M Steven Lee Hall Jr.
I Mean, There'S Nothing
I Can'T Do.
Let'S Do It, Boys.
Ryan: Being In A Group
With Three Guys,
I Don'T See
Too Much Drama Happening,
Especially
With Our Personalities.
I Don'T Want To Jinx It,
But This Is Gonna Be Too Easy.
Team Kick-Ass
Right Here, Dude!
I Know We'Re Gonna Be
Very Successful.
I'M Gonna Try
To Find Some Shade
Where We'Re Gonna Build
A Shelter.
Yeah, For Sure.
Oh, My God.
Dude, Look -- Elephants.
Ryan: Wow.
There'S A Whole Herd Of Elephant
Behind Me.
How Crazy Is That?
You Know,
There Are No Cages Out Here.
These Animals Can Kill You.
Oh, This Is A Good Spot.
I Like This.
We Got Some Big Trees
Around Us Already.
That'S The Middle,
Pretty Much Where Your Pot Is.
And Then Build Diameter
Around It.
Sounds Good.
Narrator:
To Defend Against Predators,
The Survivalists Have No Choice
But To Employ Tribal Tactics
And Build Thorny,
Spiked Barricades, Or Bomas,
Around Their Camps.
The Areas In Between The Trees,
We Can Put
A Bunch Of Thorn Bushes.
Just A Lot Of Brush In The Way
To Deter Those Animals
That, You Know, Want To Eat Us.
Narrator:
Four Miles To The Southeast,
Three Determined Women Will Test
Their Ability To Survive
As An All-Female Trio

The Valley'S Steep Terrain

And Draws Prey...
And Predators From Miles Around.
Tawny: So Hot.
How Do You Guys Feel
About This Area?
That Tree'S Amazing
'Cause It'S So, Like,
Shading This Area,
You Know?
I Was Thinking Of Starting Fire
And Getting Some Water Going.
Cool.
How Do You Guys Feel
About That?
Alyssa: Yeah.
I'M Really Glad
That I'M In An All-Girls Group
'Cause I Just --
I Like Hanging Out With Girls.
And Sometimes Males
Intimidate Me.
Smoking.
Wait, Wait,
It'S Still There.
Hell, Yeah.
I Don'T Think That Men Are
Necessarily Stronger Than Women
At Surviving,
But I Believe A Male Would Be
The Best Complement
To My Survival Style.
So, We'Ll See How It Goes,
I Guess.
Alyssa: I Was Thinking
Of Starting The Shelter.
We'Re Gonna Want It Tonight,
For Sure.
[Bleep]
Oh, My God.
Are You Okay?
Whoa, That One Hurt.
I Stepped On
A Really Big Thorn.
I Mean, Look At The Spikes
On That Tree.
Ohh, That'S Deep.
We Don'T Have To
Finish This Shelter Today.
We Have All Day Tomorrow.
We Can'T Waste
Too Much Time.
We Can Always Improve It.
Exactly.
We Just Need
To Get Something
For Night Critters

All Trails Lead To Water.
This Ground Is Rough.
Mm. I'M Just Glad
I'M Not Alone.
Yeah.
I'M Still Soaking That In.
Kim: My Last Challenge,
I Was Alone For 17 Days,
And I Had To
Really Rely On Myself.
With Three People,
It'S Strength In Numbers.
That'S More Hands, And I Think
We'Ll Make A Great Team.
Man, It Is Hot As [Bleep]
Out Here, If Anyone'S Wondering.
[ Chuckles ]
Carrie:
Most Of My Survival Skills,
I Gained In My Four Years
In The Marine Corps.
I'M Feminine, But I Think
The People That Are Close To Me
Would Say That I Am Very Tough.
You Know, I Spent My Childhood
In The Country,
And Then I Joined
The Marine Corps When I Was 18.
Yeah,
That'S Pretty Cool.
For A Girl To Be A Marine,
I Mean, That'S Hard-Core.
So, I Mean, That Tells
A Lot About Her Toughness.
Like, There'S
Something Inside Of Her
That I Don'T Think Will Give Up.
There'S A Lot Of Trees
Pushed Over Right Here,
So We Know There'S
Big Animals Hanging Out.
Yeah.
I Have
Indigenous Living Skills.
I'M A Quarter Shoshone,
And I Started Studying The Old
Ways When I Was A Small Child.
This Was Somebody'S
Scratching Post.
Uh-Oh. Territory.
But It'S Definitely Important
To Have Three People Out Here.
I'D Prefer To Have 6 People,
12 People, Especially, You Know,
In A Dangerous Situation
Like This.
There'S Water.
Hell, Yeah.
I'M Definitely Dehydrated
Already.
Approach
Very Cautiously.
[ Creature Growls ]
Oops. Stop.
I Just Heard Something Moving
Down There.
What In The Hell
Is That?
See The Warthogs
Over There?
[Bleep]
No, That'S Two Lions.
[Bleep] They'Re Both Staring
Straight At Us.
Oh, I Know.

I'M Actually Scared.
I Mean, It Would Only Take
Like A Couple Seconds,
And "Krch!" That'S It.

Doesn'T Feel Like A Game.

I Don'T Know What It Is, But
It'S Pretty Freaking Sketchy.
[ Lions Growling And Roaring ]
We'Re All Awake Right Now.
It Sounds Like There'S A Lion
Right Behind Our Camp.
[ Growling And Roaring
Continues ]
So [Bleep] Scary.
Morning One In The Books.
How You Feeling There,
Ryan?
[ Laughs ]
Uh, A Little Rough.
Yeah.
I Thought I Heard A Big Cat
Less Than 200 Yards Out.
Didn'T Get Eaten,
So...1, Us.
Hey, Guys!
Warthogs.
They Were Very Skittish.
We'D Have To Get Up There
In The Morning
And Really Post Up Shop.
There'S No Sneaking Up
On These Things.
Yeah, It Would Be
A Hell Of A Kill.
We All Need To Get
Some Pretty Heavy-Duty Spears.
Yeah.
My Strategy For This
40-Day Challenge Is Gonna Be
A Lot Of Hunting To Get
The Protein That We Need --
Something That We Can Smoke
And Live On For Multiple Weeks.
Steven: I'Ve Been Working On
My Atlatl, My Dart Thrower.
¶ Yeah-Ah ¶
I Think Primitive Man
Would Be Pretty Impressed
With My Skills Here.
Nice.
Hell, Yeah.
I'M Killing Something Big
Out Here.
Angel: This Is Warthog Bone
That I Found, And, Man,
It Has To Be One Of The Toughest
Bones I Ever Played With.
I Mean, It'S Just --
It Feels Like Ivory.
Ryan: I'M Working On A Net
Using My 100-Pound Fishing Line.
You Know, I Think A Warthog
Would Easily Get Tangled Up
In This.
Steven: Yeah, I Agree.
Long Enough For Us
To Finish Him.
Finish Him!
Fatality!
Narrator:
Two Miles North At Sotho Gorge,
Jake, Clarence, And Stacey
Have Made Camp
Near A Dwindling Water Hole.
Holy [Bleep]
Don'T Be Stealing My Water,
Bitch.
I Am Off To Get Another Round
Of Drinking Water.
My Survival Style Has Always
Been Balls To The Wall.
You Know, I'M Just Really Gonna
Carpe The Diem Out Of It
And Just, You Know,
Kick Some Ass.
Oh, My God.
It'S So Good, Huh?
No.
It'S Really Swirled Around
Like Diarrhea Now.
It'S Gross.
Clarence: There'S Elephant
[Bleep] And Leopard [Bleep]
And All Kinds Of Little
Raisinet-Sized [Bleep]
All In The Water.
¶ If It'S Brown ¶
¶ Drink It Down ¶
Chug-A-Lugs.
Ugh, I Can'T Anymore.
You Got To.
I Just Vomited
A Little Bit.
I'M Full On Water.
I Really Am.
I Don'T Think
That'S A Wise Idea. More Water!
'Cause If You Don'T
Do Water,
Then You'Re Not Gonna Be Able
To Be Very Helpful.
I Really Want To Move
To A Better Water Source
As Fast As Possible,
Sooner Than Later.
I Don'T See An Advantage
Of Staying With [Bleep] Water.
I Don'T Know How Long You Guys
Plan To Be Here, Though.
How Complacent Do We Want To Be
With This Water?
Right Now,
That'S Our Only Option.
It'S The Middle Of A Drought,
So I Feel Having Access To Any
Water Source Right Now Is Huge.
We'Ve Boiled It.
It'S Tasted Perfectly Fine.
So, I'M Not Super-Hard-Pressed
To Move On.
Okay.
I'M Hoping Clarence
Kind Of Kicks It Into Gear
Pretty Soon Here.
I Feel Like He'S Not Really
In The Right Head Space
To Get Out There Killing Yet.
Narrator: At Tsonga Basin,
Where Shade Is Scarce,
Carrie, Darrin,
And Kim Have Made Camp
A Quarter Mile From Their
Water Hole In Order To Avoid
The Lions They Encountered There
The Day Before.
Carrie: Water'S, Like,
Constantly On My Mind.
As It Should Be Here.
Yeah.
Narrator:
Now, To Fight Off Dehydration,
They Must Make
The Long Round-Trip Excursion
To The Lakeshore
In Searing 109-Degree Heat.
Whoa. Okay.
[Bleep]Damn It.
You All Right?
Yeah, This Ground Is
Unbearable.
I Think That We Should Have
Built A Shelter Closer To Water.
Like, Even Here, We Can, Like,
Look And See
What'S Over The Water,
You Know?
We Can See
What'S Coming.
Kim: But That'S Also A Bad Thing
Being So Close.
A Lion Can Easily Sneak Up
On Us.
I Don'T Know.
I Just Know That Just That Walk
Right There...
Kim:
I'M Sure There Are Many Places
That We Could Have Chose
To Have Our Camp.
I Mean, Every Place Has
Its Pros And Cons.
Yeah, Let'S Talk
To Darrin First.
Oh, My God.
Darrin!
Darrin: Kimberly!
Need A Hand?
[Bleep]
Carrie And I Were
Just Thinking
Maybe If We Were
Just A Little Bit Closer...
It'S Far.
You Good?
Go Sit Down In The Shade.
Yeah.
I Mean, Just Walking
From There, Here,
I Am So Dehydrated
Right Now.
Darrin: Yeah, We Don'T Want
To Build A Shelter Down There
'Cause At Night,
Every Animal Comes To Eat.
And, Like, The Elephants
Will Be Like,
"What Are You Doing
At My [Bleep] Watering Hole?"
Darrin: In My Experience
As A Survivalist,
I Know To Make It A Little More
Uncomfortable On Me
To Make It A Lot Safer
For Me And My Group.
[ Yawns ]
[ Elephants Trumpeting ]
Narrator:
After A Sleepless Night,
Phaedra, Alyssa, And Tawny
Struggle To Fortify
Their Perimeter
Against Animal Threats.
Tawny:
It Was A Really Rough Night.
Pretty Much No Sleep.
And A Lion Came And Really
Scared The Hell Out Of Us.
So, We Do Need
To Get Our Perimeter Secure
So We Don'T Have
Any Visitors Tonight.
So Hot.
I'M So [Bleep] Thirsty.
All Three Of Us
Are Sunburnt.
We'Re Dehydrated.
Working In The Sun Is --
It'S Just Not A Good Idea.
Phaedra: I'M Gonna Sit Down
For Just A Minute, Okay?
Alyssa: You Want To Go
In The Shade?
No, I'Ll Just Sit Here.
How You Feeling?
I'M Feeling
A Little Nauseous.
It'S Hotter Than Hell,
And Phaedra Started Getting
Nauseous And Dizzy.
And That'S, Like, The First Sign
Of Heat Exhaustion.
[ Sighs ]
Coming Into This,
I Was Aware Of The Heat.
Once We'Re Out Here, Though,
It Really Sets In.
You Know,
You Think You'Re Prepared,
But You'Re Obviously Not.
[ Insects Chirping ]
[ Burping, Coughing ]
[ Retching ]
Tawny:
Phaedra Gets Sick.
[ Retching, Coughing ]
And Then
Alyssa Gets Sick.
And I'M Just Thinking,
"Oh, No, I'M Gonna Be Alone."
And I Can'T Do It Alone,
Especially When I'M Trying
Not To Die.
I Think I Pushed Myself
A Little Too Hard Yesterday.
Tawny: I Agree.
Like, I Think I Got
A Little Worried With,
Like, Our Shelter Perimeter
And Animals.
And I Kind Of Pushed Myself
With The Heat Of The Day.
Alyssa:
This Place Has Kicked Our Ass.
It'S Just Really Hard
With Three People.
This Is A Hard Environment,
And It'S Unsafe To Be
Without A Big Group.
Jake:
So Today The Three Of Us
Are Gonna Go Down
To Our Watering Hole.
We'Ve Seen Movement In There.
Oh, See That?
I Just Hope It'S As Big
As Its Splashes Are.
Stacey Has A Fishing
Hook And Some Line,
So We Figured We'D Try Our Luck
At Catching A Fish.
[Bleep] Yeah!
Yeah!
Holy [Bleep]
Stacey:
Get It! Oh!
[Bleep]Damn,
It Bent The Hook.
Oh [Bleep] This [Bleep]
Not Getting Out Of Here.
Almost Took My Finger Off.
Look At That.
It'S Okay.
I'M Not Bleeding.
We Found An Amazing Fish,
And We Let It Go.
Sorry, It Hurts.
[ Sighs Deeply ]
I Feel That My Body
Is Dying For Food Right Now.
Wow, That'S Amazing!
Got It?
Ow, He'S Biting Me.
Well, I Can'T Eat This.
Why?
I'M Allergic
To Lobster And Crabs.
That'S All Right,
We'Ll Get You Something.
Famished!
Clarence:
All Right, One Crab.
Good Job, Clarence.
Thanks Clarence.
That Was Good.
No Problem.
Ooh, That Looks
So Good.
Oh, Yeah.
It'S Really Good.
Mm-Hmm.
I Love Crab.
Mm-Hmm.
And The Soup
Is Full Of, Like,
Really Good Fat.
I Just Can'T Have
Any Of It.
You Can'T Have
Any Of The Fat, Either?
Yeah, I Don'T Want To Risk
Getting An Allergic Reaction.
I'M Gonna Go Down
To The River
And Try To Get
As Cool As I Can.
Okay.
Enjoy That Crab.
I Can'T Even Eat It.
Allergies.
You Can'T Survive [Bleep]
Carrie: Dude, I Just Burned
A Big-Ass Tick.
Yeah, You'Re Gonna Want
To Check For Ticks.
Carrie:
This Place Is Reeling In Ticks,
And I Am Terrified Of Ticks.
And I'M Going To Put
A Bunch Of Ashes
From Our First Fire
Inside The Shelter
To Ward Off The Ticks
That Were Killing Us.
Bugs Don'T Like
To Crawl Through Ash,
So If You Put It Down,
Usually,
They Won'T Want
To Crawl Through It.
That'S
A Really Good Idea.
So, Hopefully, Tonight,
I'M Not Drug Off By
A [Bleep] Giant [Bleep] Tick.
In The Marine Corps, You Know,
They Teach Us How To Be Tough
And Disconnect.
But I Think That There'S
A Lot Of Things Here
That You Can'T Prepare For
And Just A Lot Of Emotions
That You Cannot Prepare For.
[ Groans ]
[Bleep]
Oh, My God. This Is Bad.
My Feet Are Cut Up.
I Cannot Catch Up
On Hydration.
Oh, My God.
Oh. Oh, No.
Everything Here
Is Out To Get You.
There'S Only Certain Plants
That You Can Pull Up
Without Being Covered In Thorns.
Worst Of All,
There'S Only Certain Grass
That You Can Walk Through
Without Being Literally
Covered In Ticks.
I'M Just Feeling
So Tired And Sick.
I Never Thought
That I Would Be Saying This,
But I Am Really Having
A Rough Time Out Here.
Ryan: What If We Snare
Like Two With This Net?
We'Re Gonna Have
A Freaking Roast.
Steven:
Shelter, Water, Fire, Food.
It'S Just A Constant Thing.
If You Start Slacking
On One Or Two Of Those,
It Can Be Disastrous.
I'M Going On A Warthog Hunt
In Freaking Africa.
[ Chuckles ]
It'S A Dream Come True, Baby.
When You'Re Hunting
These Animals Primitively,
I Mean, You Don'T Have
Scent Blocker.
You Don'T Have Camo.
You Don'T Have
A Compound Bow Or A .30-30.
You Know, You Literally Have
A Stick And A Spear.
Ryan: Back In Here
Is A Really Nice Area
That Kind Of Overlooks
Our Watering Hole,
And It Provides
A Lot Of Coverage.
It'S Like A Sniper
Position Right Here.
I'M Gonna Put It Right Here
In The Mud
Where All Their Hooves Are.
Use That Rock
To Bang It In.
Looks Good, Guys.
You Guys Are Awesome.
You Don'T Want
To Sit With Us, Huh?
I Think The More People
We Have Here,
The Worse, You Know,
Chances We Have.
Steven:
Yeah, I Agree.
Angel: The Less People For
A Hunt, I Think, Is The Better.
The Less Noise, The Less Scent.
I Want To Be There.
I Tell You What --
It'S Gonna Be A Lot Of Fun.
It'S Gonna Be Super-Cool,
But I Don'T Want
To Jeopardize The Hunt.
There'S Got To Be
Some Thirsty Animals Out There.
Watch It Be, Like,
A [Bleep] Lion.
Oh [Bleep] That Would Be
[Bleep] Terrifying.
I'M All Up For Being A Badass,
But Not Lion Badass.
No.
I Heard Something
Up There.
Like The Grunt
The Warthog Made.
Go, Go, Go,
Go, Go, Go!
Ryan:
Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!
[ Warthog Squealing ]
Dude, There'S No --
He Was So [Bleep] Strong.
Dude, He Ran Through
That Like It Was Nothing.
Steven: A Pig That Size --
He Probably Got 315 Pounds
Of Meat, You Know?
I Was Really Hoping To Get
Some Sort Of Protein Today.
We Need To Break
That Streak Tomorrow,
Or Else It'S Gonna Really Start
Affecting Our Energy.
[Bleep]
This Is The Most Primitive Land
On The Planet.
Nothing'S Easy Out Here.
We Should Have Just
Thrown Spears.
[ Hippos Grunting ]
I Wasn'T Expecting The Sun
To Be This Brutal.
I Just Feel Physically,
Like, So Drained.
I Just Don'T Know
If I --
If I'M As...Tough
As I Thought I Was. [ Chuckles ]
[ Lions Roaring In Distance ]
Holy [Bleep]
That'S Definitely A Lion.
That'S A Male Lion.
It'S In The Valley.
You Can Hear It Echoes.
[Bleep]
There Is
Definitely A Lion.
They Do Sound Like
They'Re Getting Closer,
So That'S Terrifying.
[ Roaring Continues ]
Carrie:
Last Night Was Scary.
The Lion'S Roar Will Shake You.
Kim:
I Think We Were All Awake
Whenever We'D Hear
The Lion Roar.
Darrin: Yeah.
Carrie: Each Time, We Thought
That They Were Coming Closer.
Definitely Don'T Sleep
In Africa,
'Cause It Will
Definitely Get You.
Ugh. [Bleep]
Carrie, Come Back.
Where'S She At?
Just Walking?
Kim:
Carrie Is A Very Strong Woman,
But She Slept
Out Here Naked,
Listening To Lions Roar.
Ever Since,
She'S Been A Little Distant.
[ Crying ]
All I'M, Like, Thinking
Right Now Is, Like, It'S Just --
It'S Really
Overwhelming For Me.
And It'S Hard To, Like,
Know That We'Re Stuck Here.
There'S A Lion.
They'Re Absolutely Scary
To Be Just Living Around.
Maybe I Bit Off A Little Bit
More Than I Can Chew Out Here.
Oh, There'S An Elephant.
Nice.
Yeah, Look,
There'S Elephants.
Pretty Cool-Looking.
Yeah.
[ Sniffles ]
What Up, Guys?
Kim: Hey.
What'S Going On?
So, I Just Wanted
To Talk To You Guys.
As You Guys Both Know,
I'Ve Kind Of Just Been Having,
Like, A Rough Time
Out Here,
Both Physically
And Mentally.
Maybe I Bit Off A Little Bit
A Little More Than I Can Chew,
And Then I'M Just Not Mentally
In The Game Right Now.
And Therefore, I Feel Like
I'M Not Up To The Challenge.
And I Don'T Think
That I'M Gonna Stay.
Kim: I Didn'T Expect This.
It'S Really Kind Of A Surprise.
The Idea Of Losing One Of
The Most Important Resources
That You Have Out Here --
Another Mind, Two Hands --
That Worries Me.
I Hate To Say
Goodbye To You.
I Know.
But We Can'T Force You.
I Know.
We'Re Down One Partner,
And, You Know, That Sucks.
The More People We Have,
The More Defensible We Are,
The Stronger We Are.
A Lone Man'S A Dead Man
In This Environment.
Carrie: I Came Out Here Thinking
That I Could Take On Africa
The Way I Did Cambodia.
But Africa Is Relentless.
The Heat And All The Predators
And All The Ticks
Dictate Everything.
And I Can'T Survive
40 Days Here.
How Are We Gonna
Do This?
Do What?
Just The Two Of Us?
Just Like A 21-Day.
Right.
Two Of Us -- Team.
To The End.
Kim:
It'S Kind Of A Scary Thing
To See Someone
Disappear That Quickly.
It Just Makes You Realize,
Like, How Tough
This Environment Is.
[ Elephant Trumpets ]
Okay, Do You Want
To Just Herd And Club?
Okay.
Jake: Yesterday,
Clarence Provided Stacey And I
With A Crab,
Which We Were Very Grateful For.
And Hopefully, Today We Can
Return The Favor With Fish.
Is Clarence
Coming Down?
No, He'S Resting
In The Shade.
Oh.
Right Now,
I'M Going To Relax.
Our Water Supply Sucks,
So Until We Move
To Where The Water'S Flowing,
I Have To Conserve
As Much Water As I Can.
And I'M Gonna Try To Stay Cool
And Out Of The Sun
So I'M Not Sweating
All My Water Away.
Everything I'M Doing
Is For Water.
Everything.
[ Grunts ]
Yes?
Ohh!
[Bleep]
Get It!
Get Him!
Get Him!
Where Is He?
Oh, He'S In There.
Close The Gate!
There He Is.
There He Is.
Don'T Jump Back Up.
No!
Yes!
Yay!
[ Both Laughing ]
Dude,
That Was Awesome.
Jake:
I Am So Excited About This Fish.
I Hate Fish,
But That Being Said,
I Am Going To Eat
The Holy Hell Out Of It.
You Know, Day 40. Pfft!
Day 80.
You Know, See You
At The See-Saw, Cindy.
Ready For Some Fish?
I'M Not Gonna
Eat Any Fish.
You'Re Not Gonna Eat
Any Fish?!
Why Is That?
Stacey: Why?
You'Re Not Allergic
To Fish, Are You?
No. I'M Sweating A Lot
'Cause Of The Heat,
And I Don'T Want To Spend
Water Digesting Food,
So I'M Not Gonna
Eat Any.
Then We'Ll Drink
More Water, Clarence.
Well, I'Ll Definitely
Drink More Water,
But I'Ll Wait
Till You Guys Finish.
I Am Not Certain About
Clarence'S Strategy Out Here.
I Will Eat Anything
That'S Moving And Not Poisonous,
And He Seems On
The Other End Of The Spectrum.
I Know My Body,
And I'Ve Gone
Extended Periods Of Time
Without Food.
I'Ve Gone 30 Days
Without Food.
I'Ve Gone 21 Days
Without Food In Honduras.
I'Ll Be Fine.
Clarence:
My Strategy To Get Through
This Challenge Is To Fast.
My Secret Item
That I'M Bringing
Is Definitely
This Fat That'S Stored Up.
To Be Able To Go
An Extended Period Of Time
Without Eating,
It'S A Survival Skill
That'S Gonna Help Me
Get Through This 40 Days.
Clarence, Dude.
Really? Come On.
Stacey:
You'Re Accountable To Your Body.
You'Re Just Gonna
Let It Freaking Die?
That'S What It'S Doing.
It'S Eating Itself.
It'S Fish Fry Over Here.
It'S Delicious.
I Don'T Know How Much
More I'M Gonna Take.
That Just Seems, Like,
Really Dumb. [ Chuckles ]
¶?
Narrator:
All Of The Survivalists
On "Naked And Afraid Xl"
Have Previously Taken On
21-Day Challenges
Where Experts Gauged
Their Skills
And Assigned Them Individual
Primitive Survival Ratings,
Or Psrs.
But On This Joint
40-Day Challenge,
The 12 Must Achieve
A Sustainable Existence
In Larger Groups,
So Each Camp Receives A Shared
"Naked And Afraid Xl"
Rating, Or Xlr.
In Swati Valley, The
Collaborative All-Female Group
Begins With An Xlr Of 7.5.
Despite Their
Conflicting Strategies,
The Trio In Sotho Gorge Launches
With An Xlr Of 7.4.
At Pondo Ravine,
The Strong-Willed
All-Male Pack Deploys
With An Expert-Level 8.3 Xlr.
And At Tsonga Basin,
The Loss Of A Valuable Member
Has Hurt The Team'S Balance.
Starting With A Rating Of 6.7,
The Group'S Xlr Now Plunges
To 4.3.
As The Four Camps Attempt
To Brave The South African Bush,
Their Xlr Ratings
Will Be Monitored
Throughout The 40 Days...
If They Make It.
¶?
You Want Me To Go
Get The Water?
Whatever.
I'Ll Do This One.
Okay.
Stacey: Bye, Clarence.
Okay. I Don'T Think
He'S Gonna Feel Very Good
If He Doesn'T Eat
Something.
Yeah. Yeah.
My Outlook On Clarence Is
Extremely Negative Right Now.
He'S Not Eating What
We'Re Putting In Front Of Him,
And He'S Not Drinking Enough.
A Man That Size Needs
To Be Consuming
Close To A Gallon
Every Day In This Heat.
This Water'S Gross.
The Water Hole Is Nothing But
A Hole Full Of Piss And [Bleep]
And We'Re Boiling Piss
And [Bleep]
And We'Re Drinking
Piss And [Bleep] Water.
Ohh, Look At That.
There'S, Like, A Film On It.
I'M Not Handling It Well At All.
I Don'T Like Heat.
I Don'T Like
Not Having Access To Water.
I Want To Leave This Location
Right Now.
Here'S The Water.
Hot, Muddy Water.
It'S Not Looking Good.
I Can'T Stay Here.
We Have What We Need
Right At This Very Moment.
Jake:
It'S Not That Bad.
Nope.
Well, I Mean, For Me,
That'S The Best --
The Only Water
Source We'Ve Found.
I Mean,
It'S Not Awesome Water,
But I'M Very Concerned
About Walking Away From It.
I Don'T Feel Comfortable
With Staying.
This Pond'S
Gonna Be Difficult.
It'S [Bleep] Africa,
Dude.
It'S All
Gonna Be Difficult.
Yeah.
This Was, Like,
My Biggest Nightmare --
To Be Somewhere With Somebody
Who Was Gonna Be Whiny.
I Don'T Mean To Be A Bitch,
But I'M Kind Of Intolerant
To That Kind Of Behavior.
It'S Pissing Me Off.
You Know, I Want
To See You Drink.
I Can'T, Okay?
Survival Situation --
Maybe It'S Easy For You Guys
To Drink Piss Water.
It'S Not For Me. In My Mind,
I'M Getting Nauseous.
If I Throw This Stuff Up,
I'M Not Hydrated.
Then You'Re Not
A Survivalist.
If You Can'T Drink
[Bleep] Water,
You Are Not Gonna
Make It.
If I Can'T Move To Another Water
Source, I'M Not Gonna Make It!
I Like A Reliable
Source Of Water
That'S Gonna Get Me
Through 40 Days.
Well, Then, Maybe You Should
Be Sitting
In A [Bleep] Hotel Room
Flipping The Channels!
Anything That Comes
Out Of Your Mouth
Is Completely
[Bleep] Negative.
"The Water'S [Bleep]
It'S Too [Bleep] Hot.
I Don'T Feel Good."
The Water Is [Bleep]
It Is [Bleep] Hot!
It'S [Bleep] Hot.
Well, It'S Gonna
Be Hot For 40 Days.
I Don'T Know If You'Re Gonna
Be Here To Enjoy It,
But Get Used To It.
It'S Hot In The Rest
Of The Day.
I'M Trying
To Conserve Water.
We'Ve Barely Got
[Bleep] Water, Anyway.
Yeah, We All Know It.
You Want Me To Lie?
It'S Delicious?
No, But We Don'T Need
To Hear You Talk About It
Every [Bleep] Time.
But I Carry My Own.
I Gather Wood.
If You Carried Your Own,
You'D Be Drinking Water,
You'D Be Eating Food, And You'D
Be Shutting The [Bleep] Up!
Eating Food Is Not
What I Do For Survival, Okay?!
I Study This [Bleep],
I Read This [Bleep]
Really? You Do Not Have
A Biology Degree Like Me.
Your Body Is Gonna
Shut Down,
Your Mind Is Gonna
Shut Down,
And You'Re Gonna Be
A [Bleep] Liability To Us.
Okay, I'M Done.
I'M Leaving This Area,
And I'M Gonna
Go Find Someplace Else.
It'S Not Even A Scout,
It'S An Evacuation.
That'S The Stage I'M At,
So I'M Gonna Go.
Narrator: This Season
On "Naked And Afraid Xl"...
Phaedra: Holy [Bleep]
We Are Right
In The Kill Zone.
Leopards Are
All Around Us.
Not Only, Like, Around Us,
But They'Re Killing Things
Around Us.
Oh, My God!
[Bleep]
This Is So Much Harder
Than I Thought
It Would Be.
Steven:
Go, Go, Go, Go, Go! Go!
We Need To Get A Kill Soon...
Oh [Bleep]
...To Not Die.
Bring The Machete!
Whoo!
Yeah!
Jake:
This Is Real Out Here.
These Animals Can Kill You.
[ Lions Roaring ]
Stacey:
They Will Snatch You...
[ Creature Screams ]
...And You'Ll Never Be
Heard From Again.
Kim: [ Voice Breaking ]
Africa'S No Joke.
It'S Definitely
Beating Me Down.
Darrin: You Know, It'S Like
Russian Roulette Out Here.
Like, Eventually,
You'Re Gonna Catch The Bullet.
Stacey: This Is What Nightmares
Are Made Out Of.
