Naked and Afraid XL (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 9 - Fight to the Finish - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON
"NAKED AND AFRAID XL"...

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.
THAT'S HOW I LIVE.

...24 DAYS INTO
THE 40-DAY CHALLENGE...

HEY, NAKED PEOPLE!

I FOUND YOU!

...A NEW ARRIVAL
SHOCKED THE EIGHT

REMAINING SURVIVALISTS.

- NO WAY!
-IT IS FREAKING MATT WRIGHT.

- YOU GUYS HUNGRY AT ALL?
-YEAH.

HERE, DIG IN.

BUT LACEY
CONTINUED TO STRUGGLE.



I WANT TO
GO HOME, GUYS.

I'M DONE.

AND AFRICA CLAIMED
ITS FIFTH VICTIM.

WITH MATT'S FOOD
RESERVES DEPLETED...

- OH, THE MEAT'S GONE.

...GARY'S INSISTENCE ON EATING
SCAVENGED NYALA INTENSIFIED...

GARY'S NOT JUST WORKING ON
THE HIDE AGAIN, IS HE?

- GARY'S DOING HIS OWN THING.
-OVER AND OVER,

DOES WHATEVER HE WANTS.

...CAUSING
A CLASH OF SURVIVAL STRATEGIES.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MY PUTRID
FOOD AND THAT DISH

AND EVERY BITE
I TOOK OF THAT FOOD,

I WAS FEEDING YOU
MY SHARE OF BEEF JERKY.

YOU COULD'VE SPENT THAT
MUCH TIME GETTING FRESH MEAT.



I COULD VERY EASILY SAY
EVERY TIME YOU GUYS GO HUNTING,

YOU'RE NOT DOING
FOR ME,

'CAUSE YOU HAVEN'T
COME BACK WITH CRAP.

WHAT A BUNCH OF
UNGRATEFUL ,

'CAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT THE YOU ARE.

WITH 14 DAYS REMAINING...

AFRICA DOESN'T WANT ME HERE.

...WILL ANYONE
MAKE IT OUT ALIVE?

- AAH!
-AFRICA!

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

HEY, MATT, SHOULD
I CHECK IN WITH YOU?

AM I HERE IF I GO BOIL WATER?

HEY, DON'T COME AT ME
LIKE A CHILD.

DON'T COME AT ME
AND TELL ME I'M NOT HERE,

'CAUSE I DON'T TALK THAT WAY

ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE OUT
THERE HUNTING.

BEEN BUSTING ASS FOR -- FOR
A MONTH BEFORE YOU CAME ALONG.

IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
WERE HELPING, THAT'S FINE.

DO -- DO WHATEVER
THE YOU WANT.

YEAH.
YOU DO YOUR THING.

YOU DO YOUR THING.
WE'LL DO OUR THING.

OH, IT'S THAT --
REALLY?

YOU'RE SO FULL OF

THESE PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE.

I'M TRYING TO SHOW YOU
THE GIFTS AND THE MIND-SET

IT TAKES TO SURVIVE.

BUT THEY'RE ALL ENGAGED IN THIS,
UH, LITTLE THING --

THE SUN SHINES
OUT OF MATT'S ASS.

I THINK YOU ARE
AN EXTREMELY HARD WORKER,

BUT I DID EXPRESS
TO YOU THE OTHER DAY

THAT I WOULD LOVE YOU TO COME
TO HELP WITH OUR SHELTER.

COMING FROM A HUNTER
THAT DIDN'T HIT ONE SHOT

ON A PIECE OF GAME
FOR 25 DAYS.

WE'RE NOT DISRESPECTING
YOU, BUDDY.

WE'RE JUST TELL--
ACTUALLY, YOU ARE.

I JUST BROUGHT BACK FIGS,
MAN, FOR EVERYBODY.

SO WHEN I'M NOT HERE,
JUST REALIZE I'M STILL HERE.

I WILL. I WILL.
I WILL REALIZE THAT.

I AM STILL HERE.
I'LL DO THAT.

YEAH, 'CAUSE I AM.

I'M STILL HERE, WHETHER
YOU REALIZE IT OR NOT.

YEP, ALL RIGHT.
WE GOT THIS COVERED.

ALL RIGHT.
THANKS.

AND, UH, GOOD TO GO.

OH, GARY,
GARY, GARY.

GARY IS LIKE A PIT BULL, MAN.

HE JUST...
RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA.

BUT HE IS
A VERY HARD WORKER,

AND HE DOES CARE
ABOUT THE TEAM.

GARY GETS FIGS.
HE BOILS WATER.

HE DOES A LOT OF THINGS
PEOPLE DON'T SEE.

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY
THAT LIKES TO STIR UP THE POT.

AND IN A SURVIVAL SITUATION,
THERE IS NO TIME FOR THIS.

YOU'RE OUT HERE,
YOU HAVE ENOUGH STRESSES.

THERE'S LEOPARDS.
THERE'S LIONS.

THERE'S DANGERS AROUND
EVERY CORNER.

THE LAST THING YOU NEED
IS NEGATIVITY.

I'M NOT
GIVING UP ON MY TEAM.

I'M NOT WALKING OUT ON THEM.

I'M NOT TURNING MY BACK ON THEM.

I'M NOT THAT KIND OF
A CHICKEN HUMAN BEING

THAT'S GONNA BE
ALL LIKE, HOLD A GRUDGE

AND BE WEIRD
AND BE A BRAT ABOUT IT.

NO, MAN. I'M GONNA WORK MY --
I'M GONNA WORK FOR THEM.

THEY JUST GOT TO BE TOLD,
YOU KNOW, WHAT'S UP.

YOU KNOW?

WE NEED PROTEIN.
IT'S BEEN DAYS SINCE WE'VE HAD

A SOLID SOURCE OF FOOD.

AND, UH, I CAN FEEL IT.

AND I KNOW WE CAN ALL FEEL IT.

WE'RE ALL GOING OUT.
I FIGURE WE'LL BE FINE.

HIGH FIVES
ALL AROUND.

ALL RIGHT.
CLAP, CLAP.

THERE IT IS.

TODAY, MY MAIN OBJECTIVE,
OF COURSE, IS --

IS TO FIND FOOD.

THERE'S EIGHT PEOPLE WHO
DESPERATELY NEED FOOD,

NEED THAT PROTEIN.

- BYE, LADIES.
-BYE.

BYE.

SO, IT'S DAY 27,
AND WE STILL HAVE A QUARTER

OF THIS CHALLENGE YET TO GO.

I GOT EVERYTHING BUT
THE KITCHEN SINK IN HERE.

THINK WE'RE GOOD.

WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT
HUNTING PARTIES GOING OUT.

TODAY IS THE DAY
SOMEONE'S GONNA GET A KILL.

WE ARE EATING MEAT TONIGHT.
THAT IS MY PREDICTION.

WE ARE GONNA GET SOMETHING.

- MAYBE WE'LL GET AN IMPALA.
-THAT WOULD BE A LOT

OF MEAT TO GO AROUND.
-THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

I AM GOING TO WALK DOWN
TO THAT FISHING HOLE RIGHT NOW

AND SEE IF MY FROG
CAUGHT ANYTHING LAST NIGHT.

I'LL BE BACK SOON,
PEEPS.

ALL RIGHT.

I FEEL LIKE THE CAMP IS
BEING DIVIDED INTO THE HUNTERS

AND THE HOMEMAKERS.

AND I THINK THE HOMEMAKERS
PROBABLY DO NOT GET

AS MUCH CREDIT
AS THE HUNTERS DO.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ANYTHING ON THIS LINE.

IT'S TOO LOOSE.

SARAH AND GARY AND I SPEND,
YOU KNOW, SIX HOURS A DAY

BOILING WATER,
COLLECTING FIREWOOD,

AND DOING ALL THE HARD WORK
WHILE THEY'RE OUT HUNTING.

CATCH FISH ARE ADJUSTING TO
THE WAY THAT I BAIT THE FROGS,

AND NOW I'VE GOT TO ADJUST
THE WAY I BAIT THEM,

AND MAYBE I'M GONNA TRY
THIS MEAT FROM GARY'S NYALA.

IT'S NOT AS GLAMOROUS AS KILLING
AN NYALA OR WILDEBEEST.

BUT THE PEOPLE WHO DO
THE FOUNDATION WORK

ARE THE BACKBONE OF ANY ASPECT
OF ANY DYNAMIC

OF ANY PART OF SOCIETY.

I FOUND A GREAT WATERHOLE.

THERE'S ABOUT EVERY TRACK
OF EVERY ANIMAL.

WE HAVE WILDEBEEST,
KUDU, IMPALA.

PUTTING TOGETHER
A BLIND RIGHT HERE.

I'VE GOT TRAILS
ON THE RIGHT OF ME

AND ON THE LEFT THAT BOTH
FEED INTO THE WATER.

TO MAKE IT TO DAY 40,

WE DON'T NEED TO BRING HOME
LITTLE BITS OF FOOD.

WE NEED TO BRING HOME
BIG PARTS OF FOOD.

SO I FEEL EVEN MORE PRESSURE
TO GET A KILL.

UM, SO IF I CAN JUST
HUNKER DOWN IN HERE TODAY,

SOMETHING COMES DOWN
TO THE WATER, I CAN EASILY --

I'VE GOT A GOOD SHOT
EITHER DIRECTION.

I'M GOING TO THE BAOBAB
TREE TO HARVEST SOME FOOD.

I KNOW I'M GOING AND COMING BACK
WITH GUARANTEED RESOURCES.

HERE SHE IS.

NICE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL TREE.

UNIQUE TO AFRICA,
THE LEAVES OF THE BAOBAB TREE

ARE RICH IN POTASSIUM
AND VITAMIN C,

BUT ONLY CONTAIN
A FEW CALORIES PER OUNCE.

THAT BRANCH HAS A BUNCH
ALL OVER IT.

SO I COULD PROBABLY CLIMB UP,
GO OUT THERE,

AND GET ALL KINDS OF LEAVES.

ONCE AGAIN, I AM RISKING
MY LIFE FOR MY TEAM.

BOY.

SO, WHAT I'M DOING IS I SPEND
MY TIME GETTING, UH,

GUARANTEED NUTRIENTS
FOR MY TEAM.

GOT TO MAKE SURE
EVERYBODY'S EATING GOOD.

IT'S WHAT I DO.

YOU KNOW, TO GO OUT
AND FORAGE IS GOOD.

BUT TO GO OUT AND PROVE
YOU CAN ACTUALLY

MAKE AN EXISTENCE ON THIS LAND
IS THE ULTIMATE SURVIVAL.

SO I'M TRYING TO PROVE
THAT RIGHT NOW.

LET'S HOPE WE GET SOME ACTION.

WE'RE ALL GONNA BE EATING KUDU.

RIGHT NOW, I'M TRYING TO WAIT
FOR THE RIGHT SHOTS.

OH, YOU LITTLE SON OF BITCH.

JUST LIKE THAT.

GOD, WE HAVE
TO GET SOMETHING.

WE'VE KILLED
SOME DASSIE.

YEAH.

IN AFRICA, THEY HAVE
THESE THINGS CALLED ROCK HYRAX,

BUT THE LOCALS
CALL THEM DASSIE.

IT'S LIKE A LARGE RAT.

UM, THEY'RE ALL ON THE ROCKS
RIGHT NEAR OUR BOMA,

SO I WANT TO TRY TO GET ONE.

WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DASSIE
RIGHT THERE.

THAT WOULD BE A NICE DINNER
FOR EIGHT PEOPLE TONIGHT.

I'M GONNA WORK MY WAY
AROUND THIS HERE

AND, UH, AND SEE
IF I CAN GET A SHOT OFF.

THERE'S SOMETHING UP THERE.

THERE'S SOMETHING
UP THERE.

AAH!

DAMN IT.

HUNTING OUT HERE
IS REALLY DIFFICULT.

MAN, WE WERE SO CLOSE.

THIS IS AN AREA THAT NONE OF US
ARE FAMILIAR WITH.

THERE ARE ANIMALS THAT WE'RE
NOT REALLY FAMILIAR WITH.

AND WE'RE ALL JUST TRYING TO GET
OUT THERE AND GET SOMETHING,

AND HOPEFULLY IT'LL HAPPEN.

EVERY SINGLE DAY
THAT THE HUNTERS GO OUT,

I HOPE THEY WILL
BRING BACK SOME PROTEIN.

IT WOULD BE A HUGE, HUGE DEAL
AND A GIANT BLESSING

IF A HUNTER COULD BRING
BACK SOME RED MEAT.

MMM!

--NO SUCH LUCK TODAY.

HEY, TRENT.
HOW YOU DOING?

NOT VERY GOOD.
NO?

FRUSTRATING DAY.

HEY. WHAT'S UP, BUDDY?
BE SAFE UP THERE.

YOU NEED ANY HELP
GETTING DOWN OR ANYTHING?

NO, I'M GOOD.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT'S A PRETTY BIG
BOWL OF SALAD.

LET ME SEE IF ANYBODY,
UH, APPRECIATES THIS.

HEY, MR. MATT.
HOW WAS THE HUNT?

IT WAS
A BEAUTIFUL FRUSTRATION.

I GOT 60 YARDS
FROM A BIG MALE KUDU,

AND, UH, DAMN WIND
SCREWED ME UP.

DOES ANYBODY WANT
TO EAT SOME BAOBAB LEAVES?

- HECK YES.
-YEAH.

YES, I COULD EAT
SOME BAOBAB LEAVES.

GARY THE RESIDENT MONKEY.

- OH, MY GOODNESS.
-THIS TOOK ALL DAY.

- THANK YOU.
-IF IT WAS A HOT DAY, THOUGH,

I KNOW THESE ANIMALS
WOULD'VE COME IN EARLIER.

ONLY WAY TO GUARANTEE SUCCESS
IS JUST TO KEEP GOING.

EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT --
ABSOLUTELY NO GRATITUDE.

I FEED THEM FIGS.

I FED THEM BAOBAB TODAY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY WANT
RESTAURANT-STYLE IMPALA.

IT'S A DIFFICULT PLACE FOR --
FOR THE WIND AND THE WEATHER.

IT'S JUST
A MATTER OF TIME.

EVERY DAY,
WE'RE GETTING CLOSER.

WE ARE GOING
TO GET MEAT.

GEEZ, YOU GUYS.
THIS IS CRAZY.

LOOK HOW FAST THE CLOUDS
ARE MOVING.

OH, THIS IS
GONNA BE SO BAD!

ALL RIGHT! IT'S WINDY
AS A SON OF A BITCH!

LET ME SHOW YOU A LITTLE
TREE ACTION HERE.

WE'RE IN A CANYON, SO WE'RE
ACTUALLY SOMEWHAT PROTECTED.

AND IT'S STILL
WINDY AS HELL.

IT'S ONLY ABOUT 50-SOME
DEGREES OUT RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE CHILLY NOW,
AND IT'S NOT EVEN DARK.

GETTING BETTER
ALL THE TIME. SO...

IT'S GONNA BE UGLY.

THAT'S A COLD WIND.

WE'RE EXPECTING TEMPERATURES
IN THE LOWER DIGITS,

SO WE HAVE MADE TWO FIRES.

AND WE WILL BE CHILLING OUT
BY TWO FIRES TONIGHT

BECAUSE OUR SWEET CAVE
IS SITTING-ROOM ONLY.

SO, BUCK UP, BUTTERCUP,
AND HUNKER IN FOR A NIGHT.

IT'S VERY WINDY.
IT'S ALWAYS AROUND HERE.

GETTING SPARKS BLOWN ON ME
FROM THIS SAND.

THIS IS TOUGH.

LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T
GET TOO CRAZY.

SHIVERING FROM THE COLD

BURNS FIVE TIMES AS MANY
CALORIES AS A BODY AT REST --

AN EXPENDITURE
THE MALNOURISHED SURVIVALISTS

CAN ILL-AFFORD.

- OH.
-OH.

REAL COLD.

OH.

FREEZING.

COLD.

THIS IS TERRIBLE.

PLEASE, STOP.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

LORD, PLEASE, CAN WE GET
THIS WEATHER TO BREAK SOON?

LAST NIGHT WAS FREEZING COLD,
AND IT'S STILL REALLY WINDY.

IT'S STILL REALLY COLD.

LAST NIGHT FELT LIKE
ABOUT 40 DEGREES.

YEAH, IT DEFINITELY DID.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO GET HOTTER
IN THE RAINY SEASON.

IT IS.
YEAH, OH YEAH.

YOUR EYE
IS SO SWOLLEN.

I CAN'T --
I CAN BARELY OPEN IT.

IS YOUR OTHER ONE
LIKE THAT, TOO?

- YEAH, BUT THE RIGHT ONE IS --
-IT'S 'CAUSE SHE STAYED UP

ALL NIGHT IN THE SMOKE.

I CAN BARELY OPEN MY EYES.
I CAN'T SEE.

MY EYES ARE SO SWOLLEN
FROM THE WINDY NIGHT

AND ALL OF THE FIRE
AND THE SMOKE.

I HAD A HARD TIME
SLEEPING AT NIGHT,

SO I'VE BEEN FEELING
PRETTY WEAK.

I THINK THE BEST,
MOST IMPORTANT THING WOULD BE

TO TRY TO EAT SOME FOOD.

JUST GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED,
LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE,

THAT THE HUNTERS ARE GONNA
RETURN WITH SOME MEAT.

THAT WOULD BE REALLY NICE.

I FEEL LIKE
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY.

JUST HONING UP
MY BROAD HEADS,

AND IN PREPARATION THAT
I'M GONNA NEED THEM.

'CAUSE TODAY, MY GOAL IS TO SIT
OVER THIS SMALL WATER SOURCE

UNTIL AN ANIMAL COMES IN.

AND AT SOME POINT, ONE OF US
HERE IS GONNA HARVEST

SOME KIND OF BIG-GAME ANIMAL.

AND WE'RE GONNA GET SOME MEAT.

WE'LL BE OUT

FOR AS LITTLE
OR AS LONG AS IT TAKES.

LET'S JUST FOCUS
ON THE POSITIVES OF HAVING

A BIG BONFIRE
BARBECUE TONIGHT, GUYS.

- YEAH.
-YES.

BYE.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO ON THE HUNT.

WE NEED
A LOT MORE FIREWOOD.

WE WEN THROUGH A LOT
OF FIREWOOD LAST NIGHT.

AS SOON AS I GET THROUGH
THAT SECTION RIGHT THERE,

I'M GONNA GO HUNT FOR FROGS.

I KNOW IT'S NOT GLAMOROUS, BUT,
YOU KNOW, IT'S GOT TO GET DONE.

WE'LL FREEZE TO DEATH
WITHOUT IT, SO.

IT'S NOT THE MONEY SHOT,
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M A LUNCH-BUCKET
GUY ANYWAY.

RIGHT ON.

I ADMIRE SHANE.
I RESPECT SHANE.

I THINK HE'S GOT HIS, UH,
SURVIVAL, UH,

PRIORITIES TOTALLY STRAIGHT.

I WANT TO GET EVERY POT
BOILED WITH WATER IN IT.

THAT'S IMPORTANT
TO ME RIGHT NOW.

I'M -- I FEEL LIKE I'M KIND OF
PART OF THE BACKBONE HERE

WITH SHANE AND SARAH.

THE TRUE SUPPORT, THE TRUE
BACKBONE OF THIS WHOLE GROUP

THAT ACTUALLY ALLOWS
THE HUNTERS TO HUNT

AND KEEPS THE PEOPLE
WARM WITH FIREWOOD,

AND FUNCTIONING ON
A BASELINE LEVEL.

NOW WITH A GROUP ASPECT,
THE DIFFICULT PART OF IT

IS WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED
A HUMAN FOOTPRINT.

ANYWHERE YOU GO,
YOU HAVE THIS FOOTPRINT.

WHEN YOU GET BIG GROUPS,
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TALKING

AND SCREAMING
AND KIND OF UNNEEDED NOISE.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT,
THIS FOOTPRINT IS MASSIVE.

AND I HAVE NOW REALIZED THAT
I HAVE TO WALK MUCH FURTHER,

I HAVE TO WORK MUCH HARDER
JUST TO GET TO THE ANIMALS,

BECAUSE THESE ANIMALS HAVE NOW
SCATTERED FROM OUR PERIMETER.

AND THE FRUSTRATION'S
KICKING IN HARD NOW.

SO, I WAS HERE YESTERDAY
PUTTING TOGETHER THIS BLIND.

I'M JUST GONNA HUNKER DOWN
IN HERE FOR THE DAY

AND WAIT PATIENTLY
FOR THE GAME TO COME OUT.

THAT WOULD'VE FED
THE TEAM EVERY DAY

UNTIL THE END OF THE CHALLENGE.

WE NEED A BIG KILL.

SO, SO DISAPPOINTED.

MAN, I FEEL LIGHTHEADED.

HMM.

I'M FEELING A LITTLE
BIT LOW-ENERGY,

AND I REALLY HAVEN'T
EATEN MUCH AT ALL

FOR THIS ENTIRE
CHALLENGE SO FAR.

THE HUNTERS ARE OUT THERE EVERY
DAY CHASING THE MEAT GLORY,

AND I'M STUCK TAKING CARE
OF ALL THE BUSINESS.

I'VE GOT TO GATHER FIREWOOD.

I'VE GOT TO BOIL
ALL THE WATER.

AAH! OH.

OH, GOD.
THAT'S A DEEP ONE.

OH.

OW, OW, OW.

UGH.

OH,

OH, GOD.

THAT'S A DEEP ONE.

OW, OW, OW.

OH, GOD, OW.

OH,

OUCH!

HOLY

WELL, THAT HURT A LOT.

THAT WAS A DOOZIE.

THESE GUYS ARE CRAZY FAST.

THEY DISAPPEAR LIKE THAT,
RIGHT INTO THE ROCK CREVICE.

THEY'RE MOCKING ME
AT THIS POINT.

I'VE BEEN STARVING
THIS WHOLE TIME.

I AM IN DESPERATE NEED
OF NUTRIENTS AND PROTEIN.

SO TODAY, I'M OUT
EXPLORING THIS NEW AREA.

I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE
AN AMPLE SUPPLY

OF LEAFY GREEN
VEGETATION OR TUBERS,

OR ANY OTHER KIND OF VEGETATION
THAT WE CAN EAT.

I HAVEN'T BEEN OVER
TO THAT SIDE.

OOH!

WHAT IS THAT?

IT LOOKS LIKE WILD SPINACH.

I THINK IT IS WILD SPINACH!

NO WAY!

OH, MY GOD.
THERE'S A TON OF IT.

WILD SPINACH CONTAINS
SUBSTANTIALLY MORE NUTRIENTS

THAN CULTIVATED SPINACH,
ESPECIALLY RIBOFLAVINS,

WHICH BREAK DOWN FAT
TO PRODUCE ENERGY.

MMM!

I'M A LIKE
A LITTLE BUNNY RABBIT.

WE DON'T HAVE TO CLIMB A TREE.

THERE ARE NO THORNS ON IT.

IT'S AMAZING!
IT'S PERFECT!

OH, MY GOD!

AMAZING!

VITAMINS.

AND NUTRIENTS.

LOVELY, LOVELY FLAVOR.

MMM.

THIS IS A GAME-CHANGER.

EVERYBODY WENT OUT
HUNTING TODAY.

I FELT LIKE THERE REALLY
WASN'T THAT MUCH

I WAS GONNA BE ABLE
TO CONTRIBUTE ON THAT FRONT.

I'M NOT A HUNTER.

YOU KNOW, I'VE ONLY GOT
SOME SMALL FISHING LINES,

AND WE'VE HAD ONLY
MINIMAL SUCCESS WITH THAT.

SO THIS IS A HUGE VICTORY.

FOOD FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.

- LADIES?
-YES?

VERY LEGITIMATE
SURVIVAL QUESTION.

OKAY.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE
TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING?

- HMM.
-LIKE, WHAT IS THE GOOD THING?

THIS, LADIES,
IS WILD SPINACH.

- OH!
-WHAT?

AAH, YOU'RE THE!

- AWESOME.
-OH, THAT'S SO GOOD.

- GOOD CALL, SARAH.
-GOOD FIND.

MM-HMM.

I PRESENT TO YOU, GENTLEMEN,
WILD SPINACH.

IT LOOKS TENDER.

JUST RIGHT LIKE THAT,
ROOTS AND ALL.

THAT IS DELICIOUS!

I GATHERED EIGHT BUNDLES
JUST LIKE THAT.

IN THERE?
MM-HMM.

HOLY CRAP.

HOLY , SARAH.

THIS IS A GOOD SCORE FOR YOU
AND EVERYONE ELSE, TOO.

THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

- YOU'RE AMAZING, SARAH.
-I'M EATING THE ROOTS AND ALL.

MM-HMM.

TODAY WAS FRUSTRATING.

NO CONNECTION, NOTHING CAME
WITHIN ABOUT 150 YARDS,

AND IT WAS A LONG DAY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL, UH,
CONTINUE ON.

DAY 30, 10 DAYS LEFT.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH
I WOULD LOVE TO BRING BACK

A BIG-GAME ANIMAL
FOR MY NAKED FAMILY RIGHT NOW.

IT'S NICE TO HAVE LEAFY GREENS,
BUT WE NEED SOME PROTEIN

TO HELP US GET THROUGH
THE NEXT 10 DAYS.

OH, YOU'RE IMPALA --
YOU'RE NYALA.

- THE NYALA HEAD?
-YEAH.

I LIKE THAT.

YEAH.

THEY SAY PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE.

WELL, THE KIND OF PATIENCE
YOU NEED OUT HERE,

TO HUNT NAKED
WITH A PRIMITIVE BOW,

THAT'S A GIFT.

IF YOU'VE GOT
A LOT OF THAT GIFT,

YOU'LL PERSEVERE EVENTUALLY.

AND TODAY'S MY DAY.

JUST CHECKING MY FISH LINE,

AND WE'LL SEE
IF THERE'S ANYTHING ON IT.

OH, OH, OH, THERE IS
SOMETHING ON IT.

WE HAVE FOOD.

HOW COOL IS THAT?

MAYBE WE CAN MAKE A STEW
OUT OF IT WITH THE SPINACH.

SEE WHAT LINDSEY CAN DO.

IT ISN'T MUCH,
BUT IT'S SOMETHING.

EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS.

- I'VE GOT FOOD.
-HEY!

ANYBODY WANT TO PROCESS THIS?

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
FILLET IT AND BOIL IT

AND MAKE A STEW OUT OF IT.

AND PUT SOME
SPINACH IN THERE, TOO.

I AGREE.

IF WE CAN CATCH TWO
OR THREE CATFISH A DAY,

WE CAN SURVIVE THIS.

YEP.

NOT GONNA
DO IT JUST YET.

LIKE, I JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE
I SLEPT LAST NIGHT.

NO, I DIDN'T EITHER.

THINK I'LL GO BACK
TO SLEEP FOR A BIT.

WHEN I CAME BACK
WITH CATFISH THIS MORNING,

LINDSEY SAID,
"OH, IT'S A BABY CATFISH."

IT REALLY ANNOYED
THE CRAP OUT OF ME.

I KNOW IT'S NOT
A THREE-FOOT CATFISH

LIKE THOSE GIRLS
ARE USED TO CATCHING,

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW
BIG IT IS.

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE SIZE OF IT.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH
TO SUSTAIN PEOPLE,

BUT IT'S ALSO ENOUGH NOT TO
GET PEOPLE KILLED OUT HERE

EITHER OR HAVE ORGAN
FAILURE AND STUFF.

SO I'M LEFT TO DO WHAT I CAN,

AND THAT'S JUST WORK
FOR THE TEAM

AS BEST I CAN.

- WHO'S STILL IN HERE?
-ALL THE GIRLS.

AWESOME.

LINDSEY, YOU WANT
TO CLEAN A FISH?

IN JUST A LITTLE BIT,
I WOULD LOVE TO.

THAT'S IF IT CAN WARM UP
JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.

WOW.
REALLY?

I'M A LITTLE ANNOYED
THAT NO ONE'S TAKEN

THE CATFISH DOWN TO CLEAN IT.

I'M LIKE, ARE WE JUST GONNA
LEAVE IT DANGLING ON A

HOOK 'CAUSE EVERYONE'S
TOO LAZY

TO WALK AWAY FROM THE FIRE?

THIS IS LIKE THE SELFISHNESS

THAT I HAD TO DEAL WITH
IN COLOMBIA.

I JUST FINISHED
BUILDING MY LODGE.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO
TALK ABOUT, OR, LIKE --

I'M -- YOU KNOW,
I'M GETTING FIREWOOD

THAT WE KEEP BURNING
UP EVERY DAY.

I'M CHOPPING DOWN TREES
SO WE CAN HAVE A --

YOU KNOW, A DECENT LODGE.

THEN I COME BACK,
AND I DON'T EVEN SE A ,

YOU KNOW, ANY KIND
OF CORDAGE OR ANYTHING MADE.

AND I THINK YOU'RE LAZY.

SURVIVAL HAS
TO BE LAZY.

THAT'S FINE. WELL, YOU KNOW,
NOW YOU CAN EARN IT.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA
EARN IT ON ME.

YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING NOT
TO EXPLODE ON PEOPLE.

I'M TRYING NOT TO
GET PISSED OFF.

I'M TRYING TO, YOU KNOW,
BE A BETTER HUMAN BEING.

BUT, MAN.

HOW MANY CHALLENGES DO I HAVE
TO GO THROUGH THIS?

GETTING READY TO GO OUT
ON ANOTHER HUNT.

ALL RIGHT.
YOU GOT YOUR ARROWS?

ALL RIGHT.

FAREWELL.

HOPEFULLY, WE'LL GET
SOMETHING THIS TIME.

JUST CHECKING
MY FISH LINE,

AND WE'LL SEE IF
THERE'S ANYTHING ON IT.

OH, WE GOT TWO FISH.

OH, WE GOT A TURTLE!

SO...

WELL, WE HAVE FOOD.

WE CAN BOIL SOME STEW.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL
BIG ANIMALS TO SURVIVE OUT HERE.

WONDER WHERE THE
THE GIRLS WENT.

HEY, GARY, YOU STILL IN HERE?

YES, SIR.

WELL, I'M ABOUT
TO MAKE YOUR DAY.

HOW?

I HAVE A TURTLE, CAUGHT
WITH YOUR NYALA MEAT.

OH, DUDE!

HERE'S YOUR MOMENT.

GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU.

'CAUSE NOW, EVERYBODY'S
GONNA SIT THERE

AND THEY'RE GONNA
EAT THAT TURTLE,

AND THEY BETTER SAY, "THANK YOU
FOR THE NYALA MEAT."

I -- I'VE GOT NO ARGUMENT
WITH THAT ONE.

THIS TURTLE -- THAT WAS
BAITED WITH NYALA MEAT,

THAT DEAD NYALA THAT I FOUND.

SO THAT NYALA MEAT FED ME
FOR FOUR DAYS,

AND IT MADE A HAT FOR ME.

IT PROTECTS ME FROM THE SUN
TO THIS VERY DAY.

AND IT'S MAKING ME
A PAIR OF SHOES,

AND IS NOW GONNA FEED THE TRIBE
THAT THOUGHT IT WAS SO GROSS

THAT I BROUGHT IT AROUND.

GARY GOT THE BAIT
THAT CAUGHT THE TURTLE.

SHANE GOT THE BAIT
THAT CAUGHT THE CATFISH.

AND I HARVESTED SPINACH THAT
WE'LL STEW IT ALL UP TOGETHER.

IT'LL BE YOU, ME, AND SHANE
THAT FED EVERYONE TODAY.

LINDSEY AND I HAVE BEEN
OUT HERE BUSTING OUR BUTT

EVERY SINGLE DAY.

WE'VE HAD NO ACTION.

IT'S REALLY DRAINING FOR US,

BUT HUNTING IS JUST
A WAITING GAME OUT HERE.

AND IT'S NOT EASY.

AND WE STILL HAVE A QUARTER
OF THIS CHALLENGE YET.

DO YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH FUN IT WOULD BE

TO WALK OUT ALL DAY LONG
AND GO SIT IN A BLIND

AND GO HUNT AND COME BACK
AND HAVE A SHELTER BUILT,

AND FIRE READY TO GO,
AND WATER BOILING,

AND FOOD WAITING FOR YOU
WHEN YOU GET BACK?

, THAT
WOULD BE AWESOME.

- YEP.
-I WOULD LOVE THAT EVERY DAY.

I COULD DO THAT FOR 40 DAYS,
EVEN IF I DON'T CATCH ANYTHING.

I'M NOT EXERTING ANY ENERGY.

I'M JUST CHILLING OUT,
AND FOOD READY EVERY DAY.

AND NOT GIVE ANYONE
THE RESPECT WHEN THEY --

YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE FOOD
BEING READY,

WHICH I FIND IS STARTING
TO RUB ME THE WRONG WAY.

SPINACH,
CATFISH, FIGS.

THIS IS THE GROUP
RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS THE BACKBONE
RIGHT HERE.

YEAH.
REALLY, IT IS.

I KNOW I'VE BUILT SIX SHELTERS
AND THREE BOMAS.

YEAH. YEAH.

SIX SHELTERS
AND THREE BOMAS.

SEE IF I CAN
GO START PROCESSING

THAT THORN TREE
FOR A FEW MINUTES.

HAVE FUN, BOYS.

WHEN I GET PISSY,
I JUST NEED TO GO WORK.

THAT'S WHAT I DO.

SOMETIMES IF FEELS
LIKE WE ARE CONTRIBUTING

SO MUCH MORE THAN THE HUNTERS,

WHO KEEP COMING BACK
WITH NOTHING EVERY SINGLE DAY.

MY MOUTH IS SO DRY.

I WANT TO DRINK
A POT OF WATER.

- HI, GUYS.
-I'M GOING FOR A WALK.

DON'T DRINK OUT OF THAT.
I JUST FILLED IT UP.

IT'S BEEN EMPTY ALL DAY.

I'M JUST FRUSTRATED.

- HOW YOU FEELING, SARAH?
-I'M -- I'M SPENT.

I SPENT THE WHOLE DAY
WORKING HARD,

AND I DID THE PREPARING OF WHAT
WE HAVE IN THAT POT RIGHT THERE.

RIGHT HERE?

YES, THAT IS OUR AFRICAN
BREW STEW.

WE DID THE COOKING, MAN.

LOOKS GOOD.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

ALL OF US
HOMESTEADERS ARE...

IF THE HUNTERS GO
ALL 40 DAYS WITH ZERO KILLS,

IT WILL FEEL VERY MUCH
LIKE WE CARRIED THEM

THROUGH THE CHALLENGE,

AND THEY DID
PRETTY MUCH NOTHING.

IF THEY CAN GET A KILL,
THAT'LL LEGITIMIZE IT.

BUT IF NOT, IT'S GONNA BE LIKE,
"DID YOU ENJOY YOUR CAMPING TRIP

WHILE MOMMY AND DADDY
TOOK CARE OF YOU BACK AT HOME?"

DIP SOME IN THAT BROTH.
IT'S AWESOME.

IT'S PROTEIN, VITAMINS,
MINERALS FROM THE SPINACH.

THE BROTH IS JUST SUPER
LOADED UP AND ENRICHED.

IT'S AWESOME.

GOOD JOBS, GUYS.

SO GOOD.
THANK YOU.

WELL, HERE'S
A QUESTION FOR YOU.

I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S SUPER FUN
TO GO OUT HUNTING,

AND IT'S COOL TO HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY

TO SEE ALL THESE
ANIMALS AND STUFF.

BUT WHEN YOU ARRIVE
BACK TO CAMP,

DO YOU FEEL LIKE
YOUR DAY IS DONE,

OR ARE YOU MOTIVATED
STILL TO DO

ALL THE WORK THAT NEEDS
TO BE DONE AROUND CAMP?

OH, WHAT NEEDS
TO DONE AROUND CAMP?

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE
WE'RE OUT HUNTING,

TRYING TO PROVIDE
FOR THE TEAM,

AND, LIKE, OBVIOUSLY
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BRING

SOMETHING BACK
EVERY SINGLE TIME.

BUT AT LEAST WE'RE
OUT THERE TRYING.

IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE
NEGLECTING ANY --

ANY DUTIES THAT NEED
TO BE DONE HERE.

WE ENCOURAGE
EVERYBODY TO GO OUT

AND DO WHATEVER
THEY WANT.

I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS TO HAVE
THE IMPRESSION

THAT IF SOMEONE
IS NOT OUT HUNTING,

THAT THEY'RE NOT DOING
ANYTHING, BECAUSE...

NO, NO,
THAT'S NOT --

...WE WERE ALL BUSTING
OUR BUTTS TODAY.

I WAS JUST SITTING, WAITING,
AND WATCHING,

AND HAVING FUN
LOOKING AT ANIMALS.

THIS IS
HORSE

THIS IS
HORSE

30 DAYS INTO
THE GRUELLING 40-DAY CHALLENGE,

THE EIGHT REMAINING SURVIVALISTS

ARE IN DESPERATE NEED
OF PROTEIN.

I'VE BEEN STARVING
THIS WHOLE TIME.

I JUST GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED
THAT THE HUNTERS

ARE GONNA RETURN WITH SOME MEAT.

BUT THE HUNTERS'
INABILITY TO PROVIDE...

IT WAS THAT FAR.

...HAS SPARKED
A DIVISION WITHIN THE CAMP.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH FUN
IT WOULD BE TO WALK OUT

ALL DAY LONG
AND GO SIT IN A BLIND

AND GO HUNT AND COME BACK
AND HAVE A SHELTER BUILT,

AND FIRE READY TO GO,
AND WATER BOILING,

AND FOOD WAITING FOR YOU
WHEN YOU GET BACK?

I COULD DO THAT FOR 40 DAYS,
EVEN IF I DON'T CATCH ANYTHING.

NOW THE GROUP'S ABILITY

TO WORK TOGETHER IS THREATENED.

I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S
SUPER FUN TO GO OUT HUNTING.

BUT WHEN YOU ARRIVE
BACK TO CAMP,

DO YOU FEEL LIKE
YOUR DAY IS DONE,

OR ARE YOU MOTIVATED STILL TO DO

ALL THE WORK THAT NEEDS
TO BE DONE AROUND CAMP?

IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE
NEGLECTING ANY DUTIES

THAT NEED
TO BE DONE HERE.

AS A RESULT,
EXPERTS HAVE LOWERED

THEIR GROUP XL RATING,
OR XLR, FROM 6.2 TO 5.7.

AS A RESULT,
EXPERTS HAVE LOWERED

SO ARE YOU GUYS, LIKE,
RESENTFUL AT US

FOR GOING OUT
HUNTING, THEN?

'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT
KIND OF SEEMS LIKE.

AS ONE OF THE HOMESTEADERS,
WE DO NOTICE

THAT IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF
THE GLORY COMES FROM THE HUNT,

AND THAT, UM, MAYBE
THE HOMESTEADING STUFF

IS A LITTLE BIT NOT
AS APPRECIATED AS IT COULD BE.

IF SOMEBODY FEELS
LIKE THAT,

I WOULD HOPE THAT SOMEBODY
WOULD SAY SOMETHING

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
THAT ANY OF US HAVE

MADE IT SEEM LIKE
WE'RE UNAPPRECIATIVE

OF ANYTHING
THAT YOU GUYS DO.

OBVIOUSLY, THE HOMESTEADERS
ARE PROVIDING.

I THINK THE HOMESTEADERS
HAVE PROVIDED THE MAJORITY

OF THE EVERYTHING
THAT'S BEEN CONSUMED.

WE MAY HAVE A CAMP DIVISION.

DEFINITELY, IT GETS
TENSE AT TIMES

AND IT GETS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

IT'S HARD TO KEEP PUTTING
MY ENERGY INTO MAINTAINING CAMP

AND DOING EVERYTHING
THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

WHEN I KNOW THAT THE HUNTERS ARE
OUT THERE EVERY DAY EXPLORING,

DOING WHAT THEY LIKE TO DO.

HAD SOME FUN OUT HERE,
DIDN'T YOU?

I FEEL ANIMOSITY IN
THE BOMA AFTER WE COME BACK,

AND I FEEL LIKE
I SHOULD FEEL GUILTY.

I DON'T FEEL GUILTY,
BUT I FEEL LIKE

I'M SUPPOSED TO FEEL GUILTY.

IF THERE'S AN ISSUE, I WANT
PEOPLE TO SAY IT TO MY FACE.

I DON'T WANT POINTS
TO BE PROVEN.

I'M A GROWN WOMAN.

TALK TO ME.
DON'T TALK ABOUT ME.

I GUARANTEE IF WE CAME BACK
WITH A KILL...

- YEAH.
-...THAT THERE WOULD BE

NO ISSUE, HUH?

BUT HUNTING'S NOT LIKE THAT.

HELLO, NAKED PEOPLE.

AFRICA TODAY HAS BEEN JUST
KICKING ME IN THE NUTS.

WELL, DON'T YOU
WORRY, BOYS, BECAUSE...

- WE HAVE...
-AFRICAN BREW STEW

THAT CONTAINS SPINACH STEMS,
SPINACH, TURTLE, AND CATFISH.

SALAD.

IT ISN'T MUCH,
BUT THE LIVE BAIT WORKS.

IT'S EVERYTHING
WE NEED RIGHT NOW.

I SPENT ALL DAY ON IT,
SO YOU BETTER LIKE IT.

IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY DELICIOUS.

YOU GUYS SEE
ANY ACTION TODAY?

IT WAS FRUSTRATING.

SO...

YEAH.

I'M LIKE, DID I NOT CATCH
CATFISH AND A TURTLE TODAY?

WAS THERE STEW FOR YOU
WHEN YOU GOT HERE?

I MEAN, YOU'RE GONNA SAY,

"ANOTHER DAY WHERE
THERE'S NOTHING TO EAT"?

THAT'S UP.

...CAN'T SCRAPE BY ON
WILD SPINACH OR A COUPLE RANDOM,

SMALL LITTLE CATFISH.

WE NEED TO GET FOOD.

SHOOT ME IN
THE FACE, PLEASE.

IT'S NOT AS GLAMOROUS AS MAKING
A 200-POUND ANIMAL KILL,

BUT IT IS STILL FOOD EVERY DAY.

I'VE BEEN AROUND THAT BOMA,
AND I'VE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY

FOR EVERYBODY,
AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE STARTING

TO TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.

SO MAYBE I'LL DISAPPEAR,
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

NO ONE HAS DONE MORE
FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAN SHANE.

HE BUSTS HIS ASS.

YOU UNGRATEFUL

PISSES ME OFF.

I'M OVER THIS.

NEXT TIME...

...ON AN EPIC
TWO-HOUR FINALE...

THERE'S EIGHT PEOPLE WHO
DESPERATELY NEED THAT PROTEIN.

- FISH!
-IF WE DON'T GET A BIG KILL,

WE ARE NOT GONNA GET
THROUGH THE 40 DAYS.

AFRICA'S GONNA KICK OUR ASS
ONE LAST TIME.

HA! HA! HEY!

WATCH OUT FOR CROCODILE!

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.

THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG WITH ME.

- CAN WE GET A MEDIC OVER HERE?
-I DON'T WANT TO DIE OUT HERE.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
