Naked and Afraid XL (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 10 - Goodbye Cruel Waterworld - full transcript

Narrator: 31 days
ago... whoo! Let's go!

14 survivalists plunged
into the South China sea...

Angela: Oh, my god.

It's grim.

And became stranded on
the barren western coast

of the Philippines
Palawan island...

Man: It's a miserable,
miserable place.

Woman: Christina,
what's on your back?

[ Screams ]

To try and survive
shark-infested waters...

[ Screams ]



And snaked-filled jungles...

I got him. Gabrielle:
Keep him pinned,

keep him pinned.

[ Screams ]

For 40 days and 40 nights.

What the hell am I doing here?

In that time,
five have fallen...

This is crazy. This is crazy.

Narrator: And the remaining
nine are far from the finish.

Aah!

Narrator: Jeff and
Laura... [ screams ]

Once insistent upon completing

their 60-day challenge
as a twosome

have now joined the
others to form one team.



We're one family now, you guys.

Yep.

But in the midst of a
brutal 20-mile migration

through the dense jungle
interior, the group is weak.

Angela: My body's tired.

Narrator: As lack of
food... this one's still set.

Damn it. We're running on fumes.

We're starving.

And the limits of
the human body...

I'm tired. I'm
exhausted. I feel weak.

Light-headed.

- Good luck, Jeff.
- Love you, Jeff.

Narrator: Has one of their
strongest providers in danger

of leaving the challenge.

Now with nine days remaining,

they're still seven
miles from the coast...

3, 2, 1.

Where preparations for
a deadly water journey

into the open seas awaits,

to see if anyone can escape
this hellish island alive.

Come on. We got to keep pushin'.

Jeff: Philippines!

- Love you, Jeff.

- Good luck.
- Good luck, Jeff.

Laura: It's hard to get my
mind off of it, because...

It was just so raw and real.

I don't know what I would do

if something happened
to him out here.

♪

Narrator: With Jeff's fever
rising over 103 degrees,

medics will observe him
overnight at bush camp.

But if his temperature
doesn't normalize,

it could be a sign of a
serious viral infection,

and they'll be forced to
medically evacuate him

from the challenge.

♪

♪

Gabrielle: I'm definitely
concerned about Jeff.

I've been thinking
about him all night.

That was the scariest moment

I've had on any
of my challenges.

I just want to see
him back here.

Mm-hmm. Duke: I just...

I have really great hopes,

but like, we have no idea,
like, what state he's in right now.

He wasn't looking hot.

Max: He was hurting yesterday.

He was so sick.

His fever was so high.

Rylie: Eating less
than 100 calories a day

for almost over a month?

It has been extremely difficult.

It's very important that we
take measures to make sure

what happened to Jeff doesn't
happen with anyone else.

So we need some sort
of significant nutrition

between now and extraction.

Laura: My big concern is that...

We know our extraction
point is far away.

Yeah.

James: Like, getting closer
to extraction seems like...

- That's a no-brainer.
- Right.

Narrator: After trekking over
15 miles in multiple stages

through Palawan's
dense jungle interior,

the group remains seven
miles from the coast,

where they'll need several days

to prepare for a
final water journey

into the open seas,
toward extraction.

Angela: What if
day 36 is our trek?

- Yeah.
- It'll be good for us

to get there a few days early

so we can scope out
the area and resources.

Yeah.

You know, we've got a lot
of work that we've got to do,

building another
shelter, building the raft,

and then getting to extraction.

So we are anticipating
moving to our next location.

It'll be our final migration.

That's gonna take a
lot out of us, you know,

especially at this
point in the challenge.

We have very
little left to give.

It's gonna be very difficult.

I got to put some food
in me before this hike.

Max: Yeah, I just
need some protein.

Any sort of protein.

♪

Laura: Keep your eyes up.

Maybe there's a
fruit tree around.

It is opening up a lot up here.

Laura: We have nine mouths
that we're feeding right now,

and we're counting on
everyone to take accountability

and pull their own weight.

Okay, this one... not
sprung. Rylie: Not sprung?

Nope. Rylie: Laura and I...

We have not had very much luck

with the monitor-lizard
traps that we carved.

Oh, yeah, this one's still set.

So we're looking for
some other resources.

The sun is hot. Yeah.

It's completely black palm.

Agh! You okay?

Yeah, I just got
a really bad one.

Damn it.

Oh, my god.

Oh [bleep] yeah.

Holy [bleep]

Those are bees.

Honeybees.

There might be honey in there.

Our best bet would be
breaking a piece of it off.

But here's the thing...

You can't see a single
portion of that hive.

I know. It's amazing.

That's how dense these bees are.

I mean, they could
swarm pretty intensely.

That's a death sentence.

Yeah, they could kill you.

Narrator: A hive
this size could hold

as much as 4 cups of honey,

yielding over 4,000 calories.

But during a swarming attack,

the colony can inject enough
toxic venom into its target

to induce nausea, diarrhea,

and convulsions in
a matter of seconds.

Rylie: Beekeeping is
very common where I live,

and I have grown up around
beekeepers my whole life.

I'm not Afraid of bees.

I work with bees,

but I certainly don't
work with wild bees.

Laura: We can't just grab it.

I would like to see,
if we smoked them,

how much that would do for them.

Oh, they would be... they
would be chill, probably.

So let's smoke them out.

I'm cool with getting up there
and just dropping it down.

Either way, there's
gonna be risk involved.

I think that the hive...
I think it's risk-reward.

Yeah. The couple
cups of honey...

I think it's worth it.

We'll get a small fire going.

Smoke should work.

♪

Gabrielle: It's a
hot, hot day today.

It is very hot.

Energy levels have
dropped off a lot.

Yeah, I mean, mine's
definitely waning as well.

We need food.

We need a win.

There's a deep pool
here with some fish in it.

Some nice sized
fish in this one.

The water is real muddy.

It's gonna be hard
when we can't see.

Yeah, we need
to get... oh, yeah.

I'm so happy I
linked up with you,

'cause we're all more like...

Only Max and I have been
through a 14-day fan challenge...

The 21-day. We
know how to push it.

We know to keep up that
momentum to the end of the game.

So no matter what
stands in our way,

there's nothing that's
gonna stop me from crossing

the finish line at this point.

You know, there's times when
people have fed me in the past,

and I'm hoping that I have

an opportunity to
feed them, you know?

Exactly. Yeah.

Ooh, there are some big ones.

Want to try to put
some guts on there?

♪

Got 'em. Nope. Good try though.

Oh, we got to throw the
net right on top of 'em.

3, 2, 1.

Pull.

I missed 'em.

Are there any here?

No.

A lot of leaves.

That's not gonna work.

The stream that's
here locally...

It's so small.

And these fish
are escape artists.

At this rate, we're not
going to sustain ourselves,

and we're gonna continue
losing weight and losing energy.

Maybe we'll try again later.

♪

♪

Okay.

Narrator: Medics
continue to closely monitor

Jeff's temperature
and blood pressure

to see if they
can be stabilized.

♪

Jeff: This is the hardest
moment I've ever had on

any "Naked and
Afraid" challenge.

Ugh.

I'm Afraid it all just caught
up to me, you know?

Last night was one of
the worst nights of my life.

And I was scared to death.

Have I pushed it too hard?

I don't know.

I promised I was not
gonna come home one day

earlier than day 60.

Anything less would be
complete and utter failure.

It would be complete failure.

♪

♪

Laura: I can't stop thinking
about Jeff and how's he's doing,

and the mood kind of is gray
because I know even though

we're all trying to pull
together and be optimistic,

we're all scared
about how he's doing

and we're all worried about him.

It's been the longest
time I've spent

without my partner
by my side in 53 days,

and I need to see
how he's doing.

♪

♪

Laura: How's he...

His vital signs are all
within normal limits.

Mm-hmm. He looks stronger.

I think he's good enough
to go back to the wild.

Ohh! That's what I like to hear!

I'm back, baby.

I love you.

I got the green light to come
back in to my teammates.

There is nothing that
is gonna prevent me

from getting to day 60.

It kills me the thought that I'm
gonna have to just take it easy.

Laura: Your job is to take
care of yourself right now.

You got to learn to let other
people take care of you, and...

Give others the
opportunity to step up

in the void that you'll
leave, you know?

I think that's probably
something that

just needs to happen.

Thanks for being there for me.

Always. You know it.

♪

Oh, my gosh.

This is the best feeling
in the entire world.

Hey, look who
the cat dragged in!

Who? I'm back, baby!

Yeah!

How you feeling?

Heck of a lot better
than I did when I left.

- I bet, man.
- You look better.

Can we get this man a mat?

I got your mat all
laced up right here.

Laura: Just where you left it.

I am so happy.

Come have a seat.

Oh, my gosh.

My head isn't 100%.

And it may take me 24
hours before I'm back back,

and I just...

I appreciate the added efforts
that's gonna be on your backs.

But my goal is, by the time
we move towards extraction,

I want to be feeling
close to 100%.

Yeah.

I want to pull my weight
from there to the end.

Yep.

It's kind of ironic that
somebody who was so strong

and wasn't willing
to share with us

and was so hesitant
to be part of the group

now has to rely on the
group to take care of him.

Welcome back. Thank you, guys.

- Welcome back, Jeff.
- Welcome back.

Rylie: From day one, he's
been saying they're gonna be

on their own come
hell or high water.

Luckily, he has
a group of people

willing to pick up
his share of the work.

Because when you're a
team, that's what you do...

You take care of each other.

We got the family back together.

- Yeah.
- Yes, it is.

The nasty nine.

♪

♪

Okay.

[Bleep]

There are ants everywhere.

Yep.

Malnourished, weakened,
and without sleep.

It's a catastrophe.

♪

I think I was adopted into
my ant colony last night

as one of their own.

I literally had 30 ants
on me at any one time.

Yeah, I'm tired.

I'm tired.

I'm exhausted.

Max: Jeff, this is all you.

I-I can't do it all, man.

No, you're chuggin' it all, bro.

Gabrielle: That's all yours.

Angela: You need
those electrolytes.

Who else needs a sip?

We kind of discussed it.

We don't want you getting water.

We don't want
you checking lights.

We don't want
you doing anything.

And we need you
to be, if not 100%,

we need you to be
98% for that trek,

to get you through, and
then we'll go from there.

One of my greatest fears
of joining a large group

was that I was gonna
be the bread-winner,

and I bring in food...

And right now, instead
of them needing me,

I have to rely on them.

And that's not
something I'm good at.

Rylie and I are planning to
have operation honey pot today.

We did a recon yesterday,

and today we are gonna
make our all-out attempt.

Duke: That would be so sick
if we all got a little bit of honey.

That is a morale
booster for sure, man.

Yeah.

I think it would be potentially
really great situation.

All right. Operation honey pot.

Mm-hmm. Queen bees.

Queen bees.

I've got the wood.

Cool. I have the husks packed.

I'm just grabbing
[Bleep] for tinder still.

Dry. Dry stuff that'll smoke.

Yeah, dry stuff that'll light,

and then, the wet
stuff for smoke.

Mm-hmm.

So the plan is to get
dry sticks, dry tinder,

and some coal so we can start
a fire and smoke out the hive.

It's essential to
smoke a hive out.

It kind of calms everyone down.

It gets everyone low.

You can actually break
off a chunk of the hive

and get away with it.

And it really doesn't disturb
the bees all that much.

They have so much in there.

They have stores of it.

All right. We will...
We'll "bee" back.

Ohh! Be back.

Just buzz when you come in.

You got it, honey.

Sweet.

♪

Okay, I see some bees.

All right. Let's
get this fire goin'.

Rylie: All right.

♪

Little bit...

Yep.

Smoke's comin' up.

Coconut husks?

♪

Oh, my god. Oh, [bleep]

We have made a large
bundle of dry and green palms

to produce a lot of smoke,

and we have set
it under the hive,

so it is currently smoking.

And it has totally
alarmed the bees.

Yeah, the bees have gone off.

Hoping they calm down soon.

And then we're gonna
climb up and hack it down.

Yeah. Fingers crossed.

I mean, if not, there's gonna be

a bunch of angry
bees down there,

and getting the honey
is gonna be really hard.

Narrator: The smoke
and heat of the fire

initially triggers the
flight instinct of the bees,

but it also disrupts the
reception of pheromones

they use to communicate
and coordinate attacks,

creating a calming effect
on the bees that remain.

You can see the bottom.

They definitely cleared.

All right. It's a
five minute window

to climb that tree,
get the honey,

and get back down before
they sting the [bleep] out of us.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, that's a good
amount of smoke, I think.

Yep, yep. Here.

Laura: I'm the kind of
person who likes to do stuff

for myself, but I am
so impressed by Rylie.

She's a badass.
Give me my knife.

Yep. Here you go.

Uh-huh.

Yep. Throw the
knife if you need to.

Let me know... i'm
gonna keep this goin'.

Rylie: If I use my parang

to scrape these
bees and I cut some,

the injury to these bees
might trigger these drowsy bees

to start attacking and
defending their hive.

So I just said screw it...

My hand's gonna
be much more gentle.

♪

Ahh!

♪

Rylie: Ahh!

Laura: Yeah, drop it.

Okay, good. Watch out.

Yep.

Grab it. Yep.

I didn't just do that
[Bleep] for nothin'.

Yep.

Yeah!

Whoo!

I think we're good.

Dude, that was awesome.

Let me see it.

There's no honey.

No honey.

So this is completely empty.

There is no honey in here.

Rylie: This hive is quite old.

I mean, they were all over it,

but this hive has been
inactive for a while.

It's dry.

Honey should be seeping out.

I just risked my
[Bleep] ass for this.

It's nice to look at.

There is no honey.

As far as nutrients
goes, this was a... a bust.

It's empty. It's empty empty.

[ Sighs ]

So.

I can't believe we didn't
get stung by a million bees.

That was insane.

If she had panicked, it would
not only put her in danger...

It would have put
myself in danger, and...

We had to have a lot
of trust for each other.

That trust can be really
hard, but she kept her cool,

and we got that
hive because of it.

We can eat what's
left of the larva.

Yeah.

It's been dead
for a while though.

♪

- Hey, gang.
- Hey, team.

Hi, guys. So... you
guys safe and good?

Rylie scraped about 10,000
bees with her bare hand.

What? What?

Unfortunately, it was
a completely dry hive.

Aww! Look at that.

Rylie: I'm sorry, guys.
Hey, you busted your butts.

Max: Yeah, you did.

James: Right now,
the issue is food.

If the group doesn't
find anything,

we will start dropping
like flies, so...

We got to find something, or...

You know, I think
there will be more taps.

♪

Nicole: I'm plucking
pretty much whatever

I can find right
now that's kindling.

Oof. I'm light-headed.

I'm really feeling it.

We need our calories.

Calories are, you know, crucial,

especially in the last
leg of this challenge.

We don't want
anybody being taken out.

I hear water.

♪

Wow, look at this place.

I'm seeing a lot of
movement right over there.

That's fish.

Sweet.

This could be a new food source.

I'd like to come back out
here, get the cast net out,

maybe catch a bounty.

We'll see.

♪

Over this way?

Yeah, I'm feeling
better now to go do that.

Nicole: Yeah?

James: Nicole found a small
pond where a cast net would work

and bring in a mudfish
or a catfish or an eel.

We're planning
to leave tomorrow,

so if we can get some
last-minute protein, man,

that'd be great.

Wow. Pretty good-sized pond.

There's a nice one right there.

Look. Right there. Yeah.

Right in the center
of this first pool.

He's swimming to the right.

Top of the hole. About that big.

Oh, yeah. I see him.

Because it hasn't
rained in a while,

the water levels have gone down.

When water levels go down,

it concentrates whatever
life may be in that water.

If there's anything in there,

each cast will cover
about half of that hole,

which greatly
increases the odds.

Depending on
the size of the net,

it'll be one, two,
or three loops.

And it's more of
just swinging it out

and get that rotation goin'.

♪

Shoot.

♪

Duke: I got several
hooks in here,

so I'm gonna go retrieve
probably most of them.

We've collectively
lost a lot of weight,

so if we can just get a few
medium-sized wins along the way,

I think that could
carry us to 40.

But it's gonna be
tough if we get nothing.

The hook is definitely
all up in these roots.

Ah, it broke free.

Whatever it was, it's
not on there anymore.

♪

Jeff: How'd it go?

James: Disappointing,
I'll tell you what...

When you spend a
whole heck of a lot of time

Ah, geez. I don't
care who gets it.

- That's what I have.

There it is! [ Laughs ]

Stay!

That's a beauty.

Thank you.

Mwah.

Ahh, that's awesome.

Oh, wow.

What a catch.

Let's go back and
get another one.

Yes, let's. Let's go eat this.

Got splash, got splash.

Got another one. Whoo!

Oh, my gosh! It's in, it's in.

There's three in.

Three?

Little guy.

Two big giant monsters.

I think that's the
biggest one right there.

I never thought I'd be in a
position where I'd lose count.

Yeah!

Rylie: Holy [bleep]

They did us so dirty.

They walk into the shelter,
James and Nicole, they're like,

"all those hours for
this little tiny minnow,"

and then, boom,
fish hits the deck.

This might be just
that last bit of protein

that'll push us
past the finish line.

The old fish master
to the new one.

To the new one.

Oh, my gosh. Good job.

Since we've been a family,

we haven't had enough
protein to go around.

This is the first
meal that has actually

given enough
protein to everybody.

I feel good for James.

I feel good for Nicole.

They went out, they
spent that energy,

and they brought home
dinner to the family.

Mmm. It's fantastic.

We're just feeling the
glory off of this thing.

Mmm.

We got some roasted
coconut comin' out right now.

James?

Thank you.

Sick.

You guys, for the first
49 days of this challenge,

I had refused to group up.

Like, strongly.

I was defiant against it.

I thought that was
just gonna breed drama

and contention and conflict.

And now that I see what I
see in every single one of you,

like, I am ashamed
that I ever thought that.

Because this is...
This is the best thing

that has happened
to me, this family.

Thank you for being there
for me while I was down.

But I'm gonna be back, and
I'm gonna be back strong.

I promise. Thank you.

Rylie and I are okay.

I think it could have been
one bad coconut that did it.

Last time, a lot of our
team was kind of queasy.

And James and

so hopefully they can rally

because we're supposed
to be moving today.

Let's just get ready to leave.

I'll be okay. Yeah.

I know that I have this
daunting task ahead of me,

but there's no way that
I'm going to let these people

down or myself down.

We have so much to do
when we get to the coast.

We can't wait another day.

Laura: I'm getting stressed
about how late in the day

it is a little bit.

We had every intention
of getting out first thing

this morning, but... sun's
almost all the way up.

Jeff: Yeah.

This is a massive
hike we're doing,

and it's late in the game.

I think at this point, we
need to keep pushing,

but listen to your body.

It's easy to get dehydrated.

It's easy to get exhausted.

And we don't want to
have another medical tap

like Charlie.

Oh, god.

- Hold!
- Hold!

I'm feeling 57 today.

I don't feel 20 anymore.

Charlie, we cannot
in good conscience

let you continue in
this challenge right now,

because of the risk to yourself.

Jeff: Let's see
what we got here.

So we're right up around here.

So it's gonna be a trek.

Looks like the jungle
thins out a little.

Could be a hot hike.

Yep.

But just basically,
bee-line it to the west...

Southwest... most
direct route there?

Yeah.

Narrator: To reach the coast,

the survivalists face five
miles of steep jungle terrain

with increased sun
exposure and high elevations

before descending
to the shoreline,

where they hope to find enough
food and building resources

to prepare for a
final water extraction

in the middle of the
South China sea.

So you want to
set the pace, Jeff?

Jeff: That would be great.

Follow suit?

I'm not 100% here,
but at this point,

I mean, none of us are.

So I'm just gonna set the pace,

and I'm gonna take
it nice and slow.

If you get tired at all,
you better tell someone.

All righty.

Onwards.

worried about the hike.

Because of being sick and
having lost all the calories,

I don't know how
well I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna throw out
another possible option.

We have not reconned
out in the jungle.

If we could find some
smaller lapnis buoyant enough

to keep themselves
above water, and...

I don't think it's something
that's gonna float all of us.

I mean, I think it's something

that'll just be
substantial enough

that we can make a kickboard.

We can get one or two
people up on it paddling,

and the rest up in
the water swimming.

'Cause we don't have those
outrigger poles across the top.

So that's still
providing floatation,

but the platform also
is a floating platform?

Correct.

Narrator: Using smaller
logs with less density

will increase the overall
buoyancy of the raft,

while adding several cross-rig
logs will increase stability.

We also have to
factor in the weight

of all of our items
on the boat, too.

Right. That's what I'm
sayin'... they're too small.

Because how many
knifes do we have?

Shovels? You know?

Yeah.

And then, potentially having
one or two people on there

for paddling and
steering purposes.

I don't have aspirations of
fitting everybody on the rafts.

There is... it's just
not reasonable.

But having something
that's stout enough

that will withstand the
waves? I think we do need that.

smaller lapnis.

get out of here.

So, here we are, day 40!

- Whoo!
- Day 40!

It's day 60!

Yee-hee-hee-hee-hee!

Oh, baby!

It feels so good,

but the physically most
demanding moment

of the entire challenge
is about to come.

We need to get this raft in the
water and we need to paddle

and we need to kick like
our lives depended on it.

This is where
champions are made.

I slept horribly last
night. I was sick, man.

I was really sick.

You all right?

I'll be okay.

James: I don't know
how much fuel I have left.

I feel like I'm on fumes.

From the beginning, my desire
was to come into this challenge

and prove that I'm
not over the hill...

And I plan to do that.

I'm going the distance.

Put that fire out and
let's drop our bag.

Rylie: Yeah, let's go.

Oh, whoosh!

Laura: Heading out into the
ocean is gonna be no joke.

This whole entire
experience has been a grind.

Getting to this
extraction point,

it's not gonna be a cake walk.

It's gonna be a
lot of hard work.

I can already see where
the open ocean starts.

Where those waves
pick up. There's currents

pulling away from
where we need to go.

We have to be ready
for whatever we get.

The ocean is not
to be messed with.

It's not to be underestimated.

We're all gonna need
to be as strong as we can

to all make it out there.

Narrator: With a raft that weighs
an excess of 1,500 pounds,

the survivalists face a
difficult three-mile journey

across open ocean inhabited
by deadly sea snakes

and large populations
of gray reef sharks.

If they're able to reach the
designated extraction area,

a rescue boat will be
deployed to meet them.

Jeff: Whoo. Onwards.

Do not pull up on the
outriggers, they will snap.

Use a rope to lift
straight from the raft itself.

This boat probably
weighs 1,500 pounds,

and it's low tide right now.

Getting this boat into the
water is gonna be difficult.

James: I think the easiest
thing to do is keep going straight

and get it around those rocks.

Might be able to
squeeze between.

Getting this thing into
the water is insane.

We had to cut these
14-inch diameter logs

to slide and roll almost like
ancient Egyptians moving blocks.

James: All right, who's
gonna do a count for us?

Max, you got it? All
right, you guys, ready?

Okay, ready.

- Ready?

of blood can attract sharks.

They can smell it for miles.

Jeff: That's not good.

Narrator: Throughout
this 40-day challenge,

the survivalists have earned
a "Naked and Afraid XL" rating,

or XLR, which
tracks their progress,

teamwork, and
likelihood of success.

After their final migration
to to the Palawan coast.

Laura: Awesome. Whoo.
