Naked and Afraid XL (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - Divided We Fall - full transcript
Days after the shocking arrival of a new team member, division among the remaining six survivalists deepens as Russell leads the men on a risky two-day hunting expedition.
♪♪
It's just weird to think
about being out here
for 40 days and 40 nights.
This jungle... The
things you think about.
I have the worst dreams
I've ever had in my life
every single night.
I'm talking about
disgusting, grotesque,
just... horrible worst-case
scenario in your life,
playing out in my
head every night.
[ Gasps ] Oh, my god.
Narrator: Deep in the
heart of the Amazon jungle,
nine "naked and afraid" veterans
are tackling an unthinkable
survival challenge...
To endure 40 days and 40 nights
in the most remote
wilderness on the planet.
- [ Gasps ]
- Aah!
Narrator: To make it out alive,
they must master the
environment... [ Gasps ]
Holy [bleep]
push the limits of
human endurance... Ohh!
And survive each other.
Woman: I'm so
[bleep] mad right now.
You want to eat? Then
listen to what I say.
You're just very cocky.
Aah!
- Call a medic.
- Oh, my god.
Narrator: This is
"naked and afraid XL."
captions paid for by
discovery communications
three weeks into
the 40-day challenge,
the unforgiving Amazon
claimed its fourth victim...
Woman: We love you, Matt.
As a flesh-eating virus
took out the group's
chief provider.
If we continue at
the rate that we're at,
I'm wondering who
is gonna be standing.
Narrator: Then, in a
stunning twist... Oh, my god!
Their world collided
with two "naked and
afraid" survivalists
nearing the end of
their 21-day challenge.
This is monumental.
Fernando: With
the absence of Matt,
more hands would
definitely help.
Narrator: Invited
to join the group...
If you guys would have
me, I'd be honored to stay.
What? Really?
Only chance, a
former army ranger,
decided to stay
the entire 40 days.
Don't have a lot of
family back home,
and I don't think I'd ever find
an opportunity this
rich to learn and grow.
Narrator: Now in dire
need of substantial protein...
Six mouths to feed is a lot.
Narrator: Russell's attempts
to assert his leadership...
I don't appreciate
your cockiness.
You want to eat? Then
listen to what I say.
You're just very cocky.
Have only created
tension within the group.
Shannon: If I do see
Russell, I say something,
and then you just tell
him to shut the [bleep] up.
I don't like the tension,
I don't like the drama,
and it's leaving a
question Mark in my head
of what the [bleep]
I'm even doing here.
♪♪
♪♪
I don't want to quit,
and I'm not gonna quit,
but I don't like the tension...
I don't like the drama.
Being out here against the
elements and with minimal food,
it's tough in its own self,
so to have to combat
the mental anguish
of listening to the bickering,
it's another added stress,
and the more, the worse.
♪♪
Now being without food and
water adequately for this long,
tasks such as
walking, chopping wood
now seem like
difficult, complex tasks.
- Chance!
- What's up?
Come on down, buddy.
I just didn't want to interrupt.
No, no, no, no, no.
What you doing, man?
I'm just getting some water.
Cool. Um, do you want
to go out casting with me?
I mean, sure.
Okay, cool.
I think chance...
He's soft-spoken
and quiet, kind of...
Kind of sometimes, you think
he's, like, grumpy or something.
Smile. [ Chuckling
] Just kidding.
I hate when people say that.
Don't smile.
Um, I'm gonna grab a termite.
Shannon: I'm, like, feeling bad
because chance was
kind of like thrown onto us.
I don't know him that well yet.
You don't have to go if
you don't want to go, dude.
Don't feel pressured
if you want to lay low.
Um, yeah. Don't... don't feel...
I sense the hesitation
in your voice.
Just a lot of drama
today. I know. It's crazy.
I didn't know what
I was walking into.
Yeah.
It's just... I want to
focus on positive things.
Do you want to go
out casting, or no?
Yeah, I'll go.
Mentally, I prepared my body
and my mind to complete 21 days,
so accepting the challenge
to complete 19 more days...
I wasn't really prepared
for that coming into this,
especially working
in a group dynamic.
Sounds like everybody's
got something
they're complaining about.
I don't know. Just
the competitiveness,
like, really hindered
Melissa and I,
and, like, I really just
don't want to focus on it.
Chance: I like being
the gray man in a group.
I like just keeping
my mouth shut
and letting my
actions speak for itself.
It works well for me.
I can be quiet, and
nobody really even notices.
It's not competitiveness.
It's just being respectful
and considerate.
I don't like to be called
"woman," "honey," "sweetheart."
It's a different situation
when you're a woman.
I don't have a lot of experience
working as a team with women
'cause ranger battalion
is exclusively male.
So it's not so much that I
have an issue with females.
It's more of a
lack of experience.
No, I'd rather somebody
show me how first, honestly.
Whatever.
♪♪
All right, so, the way I throw,
hang it over your
shoulder like this.
- Okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Chance wants to learn
how to throw the cast net,
and I'm willing to
teach. I love teaching.
Throw it up and out.
It'll go up, open up,
and drop straight down.
I think it's important to have
a mentor and a role model.
We can go step out in the water
and let you try it a
couple of times if you want.
Okay.
For me, that person is Russ.
I naturally gravitate
towards alphas and males,
so it's easier for me
to establish a bond and
a working relationship
with that personality type.
All right, you ready?
Russell: When chance got here,
it gave a new meaning
to this challenge for me.
All of a sudden, chance
comes into my life,
and I'm just incredibly
eager to want to help him out.
- Aah!
- Aah!
- You lost... did you get him?
- Yeah.
You got both of them?
Yeah. All right, I'm good.
[Bleep]
Hey, Russ, I appreciate it, man.
Hey, no worries, partner.
At least I know my
batting average right now.
Yeah, dude.
I mean, you're batting .300.
Actually, I'm batting 1.000.
Or 1.000... That's
what it is, right?
Obviously, I don't
watch baseball.
♪♪
Chance: If I'm
going to stay longer
and stay with this group,
I feel like it would be
helpful for the team
to get to know a little
about my background.
I had a four-month to Iraq,
and then six months
to Afghanistan,
going into areas where
conventional borders
hadn't been in at
least four years.
It was during the
special operations surge.
Lost a lot of buddies
that deployment,
so that one sucked the most.
Just as a soldier, like, I
felt like I had to be numb,
I had to be cold,
I had to change who I
was to do my job effectively,
and I did,
but then it crumbled everything
else once I got back home.
Once you kind of wire your
thinking in a certain pattern,
army doesn't, like, unwire you.
The side effects of war...
You don't really realize them
until it's [bleep]
crash and burn.
Fernando: Today, chance
opened up about his past
and his military time
and the challenges he
faced during his deployments.
I was an alcoholic,
staring down my barrel
every day last year.
Now I'm good to go.
Chance is not
ashamed to share, like,
really dark parts of his past.
I imagine they have
trained, like, psychologists
to help with the PTSD, right?
I've got more help
from my ranger buddies
than I ever have
from any program.
Russell: Chance... He's
had a pretty rough life.
Question is... Is chance
mentally prepared
to do the 40-day challenge?
You know, that's the question.
[ Sighs ]
[ Wind howling ]
This is not gonna be pretty.
We're all sitting
in the shelter.
We got a good campfire going,
but... it is about to
get gnarly out here.
[ Thunder crashing ]
Fernando: It's gonna
be a long, long night.
There is a pretty insane
storm hitting us right now.
All I can hear are trees
cracking in the distance.
I'm just hoping none
of them fall on us.
[ Crashing continues ]
We're just trying
to survive here
and function the
best that we can.
[ Crashing continues ]
♪♪
Ow! [ Gasps ]
Good god, that hurt!
Oh, my god.
[ Gasps ] Ow!
[Bleep] Aah!
- Damn it.
- Ow!
God, I hate those [bleep]!
Narrator: Colonies of army ants
numbering in the
hundreds of thousands
swarm across the jungle floor.
Their toxic bites
are powerful enough
to kill spiders and small
animals in their path.
I hate ants!
They are literally everywhere.
Ow! It bit me. Bastard!
Chance is attempting
to kill all of them
by crunching them,
but as you can tell, the
whole ground moves.
The fight for my life.
[ Thunder crashing ]
- Ow! [ Gasps ] Oh, my god!
- You okay?
This is actual torture.
It's wet, miserable,
with nowhere to go
and hide from these ants.
They are tearing
us apart right now.
At this point, we may
have to abandon our shelter.
Absolutely horrible.
Damn you!
♪♪
That was [bleep]
extremely brutal last night.
Yeah.
That was really taxing on us.
Yeah.
Chance: We had
the rain from all night,
and midway throughout the night,
there's this
infestation of ants.
It was like the entire
shelter just got swarmed,
and they just got worse
and worse and worse.
- So brutal.
- Yeah.
Fernando: It'll make
you lose your mind,
getting bit over and
over and over again.
Honestly, I'm feeling really
depressed and kind of apathetic,
like, even, about everything.
Mm.
♪♪
[ Hissing ]
Shannon: The
ants... they're terrible.
That's the only
thing that I don't like
about being out there.
Get more encendio.
Narrator: The sap that flows
from the tree locally
known as "encendio"
gives off a fume
similar to turpentine,
making it ideal
for fire-starting
or repelling biting insects.
Hope this works.
That would be nice.
We need to get some
good food, good protein.
Our bodies are really
getting worked from the jungle.
We're just running
low on everything.
We're using everything up.
It's just not as
easy as it once was.
I saw a big one.
♪♪
Russell: All we
talk about is food.
It's funny.
Everybody... this whole group,
that's all we talk
about, is food.
And it's warranted.
And it's a lot easier to
work and stay focused
when you don't
have hunger pangs.
You know, it's crazy how
much your mind obsesses
over food.
So, what do you guys say?
Why don't we all just,
like, grab a weapon
and, like, go on,
like, a family hunt.
You know, see if we
can't find something.
Sounds good to me.
I really hope that we can
all kind of, like, work together.
Russell: I'm definitely
looking forward
for the opportunity
to prove myself.
Amber: Russell wants
to take this upon his own
to be like some sort of leader,
but we don't need a
leader of our group.
We all have our skills.
We all bring
something to the table.
First family hunt,
huh? Family hunt.
♪♪
This is... This
is gnarly in here.
Very dangerous.
Chance: Amber and Russ
were kind of in the lead
as we were walking down.
We didn't really make
a plan beforehand.
And in my
experience, tactically,
it's good to have
some kind of plan,
especially if you're
hunting as a group.
♪♪
Listen. [ Buzzing ]
Just listen for a second.
[ Leaves rustling ]
Russell: It's going up the tree.
[Bleep] Damn it.
I don't know.
They move through this
[bleep] a lot easier than I do,
so... He's long gone.
- This is ridiculous.
- Yeah.
We should have
stopped and planned.
Chance: When Russ
made the decision
to move ahead by himself,
it didn't sit well with me.
As far as where I stand
with Russell, as a hunter,
I'm not sure.
Now we're heading back home.
Giovanna: Everybody seems to be
kind of on different
wavelengths,
and there's no communication.
[Bleep] Man, seriously?
Now the arduous trek
back through all this
nasty damn black palm...
Having something killed
to throw on the plate
makes it worth it.
Walking back
through it with nothing
just makes me feel stupid.
[ Grunts ]
♪♪
Chance and I are
feeling really frustrated
with the way that
just went down.
Well, that won't
ever happen again.
There should be
a plan. I hope not.
I think next time we try
to go on a family hunt...
[ Chuckling ] Try
telling that to Russell.
He's very antsy.
He wants to get
something with the bow.
I said, "do you have
visual? Do you have visual?"
And he said, "no, no,
no," and I'm like, "okay."
I think that we
should have stopped
and talked about it as a group.
Yeah, definitely.
And I think that the fact
that you two rushed in there
was just honestly like
a little hard-headed
and not clear thinking,
and we really should
have talked about it first.
It... well, whatever.
We're not getting anywhere.
I should just stop talking.
That's fine. I'm being honest.
If you have no visual, what
are you doing right now?
Just wait. I believe you.
It's just frustrating. [ Sighs ]
Chance: I feel like
there's a lot of pride issues
in this group.
I've hunted before.
I've shot deer before.
Stalking in the woods
is something that
I am proficient in...
Not so much basket-weaving
or shelter-building,
but this is like what I did
in the military... ranging.
Ranger. Raids, ambushes.
I don't deal well
the way they do
in talking peacefully and
having communal talks.
I'm a very aggressive person.
I've performed at a very
elite level in the military,
and our speciality
was direction action...
Raids and ambushes.
Silent approach.
Stealthily killing
somebody in the woods
is not much different
from stealthily walking in
the woods towards an animal.
Amber: Chance
worries me a little bit.
I was kind of like, "holy hell."
I'm just gonna make sure
everything is taken
away from him,
no knifes around him,
nothing crazy like that.
My entire career in the
military was based around, like,
stealthily creeping
into people's houses
without them waking,
and putting barrels in their
faces without them knowing.
Giovanna: Chance...
he actually has
really dark parts of
his past, so that's scary.
Chance: Most of my buddies,
when we have arguments,
it ends up in fistfights,
and then we hug,
and I can't do that here.
It's just frustrating.
I feel dumbed down.
Look, I really don't want
to talk about it anymore.
♪♪
♪♪
Chance: It's just frustrating.
I feel dumbed down.
Look, I really don't want
to talk about it anymore.
Well, I think the point
more is just, that, like,
moving forward,
let's do a... yeah.
Let's just... I don't think
anyone did anything wrong.
- It's just...
- No, I think...
He did try... He just
tried to take it over,
just rushing the
bush with a bow.
[Bleep] Everything.
And I'm just like, I knew
he was gonna make it
"the Russell show."
Feet are okay?
Nope. Feet are thrashed.
Well, Gia made a
really good point,
that we should come
up with a plan next time
instead of just rushing
in from the hunt, so...
All right, well, what good would
a plan have done on that one,
where nobody could walk?
Um, it maybe would have been
beneficial to encircle the area,
and... maybe for the people
who have the most, like,
stalking experience, maybe...
Like you and chance...
To maybe start moving in
while the rest of us maybe,
like, hung in the perimeter,
waiting for it to run?
That may work on
a different scenario,
but this one... It
wouldn't have worked.
We were going in
there blind, anyways.
Okay, so, I'm wrong? I'm
not saying you're wrong.
It's better for you to
chase it in one direction?
I'm just saying that
it's one of those things
you kind of have to
jump on the moment
you get down there
and see it, go in and...
I guess from now on,
it's just your hunting show,
and you can just do
whatever you want.
No, next time, grab the
bow and go in there, then.
I mean, it's just a lot
of verbal disagreeing.
I was the only one
that was in there.
Everybody else held back.
I don't... I don't
want to argue.
I just... that's how I feel.
It's just [bleep]
hunting as a group
pisses me off in general.
Giovanna: I really try
not to argue with Russell.
Obviously, he is who he is,
and he does and says things
sometimes that make you cringe.
You have all of us
as an asset, you know.
So before you rush
in there, say, "hey,"
look at chance and be like...
Let him set the perimeter
since you have the main bow.
You know what I mean?
That's all they're asking.
Yeah, nope, we can
definitely do that next time.
I think that the group
is intimidated by Russell
for some reason.
I mean, I'm not
intimidated by him.
He's got little man
syndrome sometimes.
He's crazy. He's mean.
He's unpredictable.
That's all... just don't rush
in next time on the bow.
- That's all we ask.
- All right. I think we got it.
- I think we got it. We're good.
- We're good?
Yeah. We got it. I mean... ♪♪
When we got back to camp...
Unsuccessful hunt, obviously...
The team was very
upset with Russ.
Frankly, it upset me, as well.
Russ put a lot of
time and effort into it.
But from the girls,
I haven't seen that the
entire time I've been here.
So, uh, they really
have no room to talk.

No, it's not raining.
No, it's not windy.

You would think that something
so small and insignificant
couldn't do any damage,

change our situation.
It's time to step up.
- Morning, brother.
- Morning.
We only have a finite
amount of resources.
I think it would
be beneficial for us
to go back up to
where Matt and I
had picked off our first pig.
We haven't seen any
sign of pigs for a while.
Do you prefer to go
by yourself entirely,
or do you want
someone to go with you?
Oh, dude, I mean, [bleep]
I'd love the company, brother.
It's just... I just want to
get some hunting time in.
I'd be cool with both of
y'all coming, if you want.
You guys, what are you doing?
That's the plan.
The hunt? Yeah.
You want to come?
All right.
Amber: When I
woke up this morning,
I noticed the guys
were kind of making
this "man power" thing.
What if we go out for
two nights instead of one,
and make it kind of more...
Get as much bang for

All right, gents.
- Bye.
- All right.
Epic adventure!
[ Chuckles ]
I'm so pumped about
this. This is cool.
We're going on
an epic adventure.
Russell got the boys on board
to believe whatever he says.
They kind of just told
us they were doing it,
and they didn't really
tell us anything else.
I think it would have been
fair for everybody to sit down
and talk, too, about, like...
"you know, does anybody
want to go on a hunt?"
Would you have wanted to go?
Yeah.
Honestly, that conversation
was never on the plate at all.
Amber: I know
Shannon wanted to go.
I know I wanted to go.
The guys put this divide
between us for some reason.
Saying, "I'm the man,
I'm gonna go out and hunt.
We're gonna go get us a pig."
Well, good for you.
It's like a machismo
kind of thing.
It's like a penis holders club.
- [ Laughs ]
- They hold each other's penises.
It's nice.
We're providers, too.
We all bring
something to the table.
What about floating farther
to the south into the lagoon
where it really narrows out
and just kind of
exploring in there?
Probably we could
bring back some fish.
It's perfect.
The water's probably
gonna be pretty clear.
Nice. I like it.

I definitely think that
us having this time apart,
the guys and the

The whole point of
us coming out here
is coming together and
surviving with each other,

The girls can bring just as
much to the table as the guys,
so I say bring it.
Oh!

Shannon: The girls
went out there casting.
I'm pole fishing.
Hopefully, get some bigger fish.
I think that, you
know, the guys...
They're kind of like one team,

kind of another team.
It's like back in frickin'
high school, or something.
It's crazy.

storm came through

That's [bleep] awesome.

bad. We can fix this.
Got that, bubba?

All right.
All right, she ain't

Well, you know,

It's a lifestyle, really.
Yeah, you know, that's

Hey, chance, you have
anywhere in particular
you want to sleep, 'cause...
Uh, probably on the

clean and gutted.
Giovanna: Good stuff!
Amber: We are not
normal women out here.
We do not sit here and just
boil water and get firewood
and wait for the guys
to bring home the meat.
It doesn't work that way.
As a woman, I want to represent.
I'm a strong, independent woman.

We're back at Matt

hunt in the morning.
What's the best part of the pig?
When you ate that pig with Matt?
It was all good, dude.
You know, Matt ate the tongue.
I wouldn't go that far.
You want to eat
the heart, don't you?
I'll eat the [bleep]
out of the heart.
For me, it's still kind of a
mental shock, you know,
coming in, thinking you're
gonna do 21 days and go home.
If I don't have food, I
want to ranger smash,
and that doesn't work
well with other people.
I have to remind
myself that I'm still here
and I'm still in the challenge
and to focus and
take one day at a time.
And that can be difficult.

So, the best thing about tonight
is we are short three people.
The guys decided
to go on a hog hunt,
so we said, "peace
out!" We said. "Peace!"
It is so nice just to enjoy

tranquility of the jungle.
No aggression, just love.
We have two

Yep. It's gonna be awesome.
Yes. Awesome.

Narrator: On this
40-day survival quest,
the survivalists earn a
"naked and afraid XL" rating,
or XLR,
which tracks their
progress, skill, and teamwork.
After a failed attempt to
secure food as a group...
Don't know.
They move through this
[bleep] a lot easier than I do.
Narrator: Tensions among
the remaining six escalated...
Amber: We should come
up with a plan next time.
All right, well, what good would
a plan have done on that one?
Resulting in Russell's
abrupt decision
to lead the men
on a two-day hunt.
I was like, "what?
You're leaving?"
Narrator: The risky
move deepened the divide,
but the women soon found
success without the men.
As a result, the group XLR
currently remains
unchanged at 5.6.

Big pig hunt this morning.
[ Exhales sharply ]
It's gonna be a
doozy. [ Sniffles ]
Pretty stoked.
All right, gentlemen.
What's the plan?
I think, uh, Russ sitting
at the primary location
by the tree, and we're
best to serve you,
serving the
perimeter over watch.
Chance: I know Russ has
really been looking forward
to accomplishing
the hunter role,
and as a new
member to this team,
I'm happy to help
him in that endeavor.
If they do come to
you, you take the shot.
If they get spooked
in either direction,
we can funnel them back to you.
And if they begin to flee,
chance... you and I, man...
We got our machetes
and our Spears.
We're gonna do some damage.
Right on, brother. That
sounds good to me.
It's gonna be a good hunt, boys.
What do you guys say
we start getting ready?
Sounds good, man. Let's do it.
Good.
