Naked and Afraid XL (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 5 - Belly of the Beast - full transcript

Narrator: Previously on
"Naked and Afraid XL"...

Woman: Aah!

10 days into the
40-day challenge,

a dangerous journey
for better resources...

- Whoo!
- Led James, Gabrielle,

and Duke to the same
beach as Jeff and Laura,

30 days into their
60-day challenge.

Oh, I got a fish!

- Yes!
- Yes!

I am so happy with how Jeff
and I's team is working out.

There's nothing I'm willing
to do to jeopardize that.



Oh, my gosh.

Neighbors, not roommates...
That's how I want to keep it.

Narrator: Half a mile
away on the same beach,

the remaining members
of the all-female team

carried on as a twosome...
And that's how you do.

Until a serious infection

brought Christina's
challenge to an end.

Rylie: Survivalism
is so hard by yourself.

And for the newly
merged team of six...

Max's 2-mile swim

brought much-needed calories
to the resource-depleted beach.

Look how beautiful this is.

But it wasn't enough
to keep Russell

from eating
highly acidic fruit...



A decision that has now
put his challenge at risk.

Let's get you lying down.

Lie down.

- [ Grunting ]
- Hey, Russ.

- Russ.
- Easy, Russ.

Easy, we're here with you.

Narrator: Now with
29 days remaining...

Man: [Bleep] Shark!

All four teams
remain over 20 miles

from their extraction point

on the opposite
side of the island,

requiring a punishing
multi-day journey

through the dense
jungle interior... ow!

All: Three, two, one.

Narrator: Before one
final push into the middle

of the South China sea...
I might not can make it.

We're all going
home, it's happening.

Narrator: To find out
if anyone can escape

this hellish island alive.

Come on. You got
to keep pushing.

[ Shouts indistinctly ]

- hey.
- [ Grunting ]

Woman: Russ, you have to relax.

Sit up.

Up. Okay.

Okay.

- Russ!
- Easy, Russ, easy.

We're here with you,
buddy. Just take it easy.

- We're here. You're not alone.
- Russ, Russ, listen to me.

- You ain't alone, brother.
- You have to

breathe slowly, okay?

Try to relax.

Okay?

Deep breathing.

Okay.

♪

How was the...

Yeah.

Hope Russell's okay.

He got bad, he was delirious.

Hyperventilating,
heart rate was up.

I want to keep an
eye on that little guy,

my little buddy.

I like him.

♪

Narrator: 8 miles up the coast,
Jeff and Laura enter day 32

of their 60-day
challenge with confidence

and a solid supply of resources.

I think we've got
it perfect, Laura,

between unripe bundles,

we have bundles
that are fully ripe.

- We really prepared well.
- We prepared well.

We've got an entire variety,
that's exactly what we wanted.

Being here has
been such a blessing.

We've been able to
replenish ourselves, get food,

and we feel strong,
we feel good.

We need to dry them.

Is it even remotely
possible to dry 100 bananas

before we leave here?

We better start soon. Soon.

It depends on
when we leave here.

I don't ever want to leave here.

Me neither.

But we have to make
our way to extraction

at some point, I suppose.

Jeff: Extraction is
a very far distance

away from our current location.

This is definitely gonna have
to be a multi-stage migration.

Even though it's
gonna be difficult,

I really believe
that leaving here

while we're strong, you
know, while we have energy...

Yep. I think is a very
smart thing to do.

This place has been good to us.

We've worked hard here. Mm-hmm.

I feel like we're ready
for the next place,

ready for the next challenge.

Yep.

Narrator: A few hundred
yards away, new arrivals,

Duke, James, and Gabrielle,

are taking full advantage
of their new resources.

Gabrielle: So, is this where
you found the bananas last night?

Duke: Yep. So, I think
I grabbed plantains,

and there's a small
bunch bananas

right as we walked into
this one on the outside.

Do we want to grab those?

Yeah, we might as well.

Gabrielle: Our
shelter is constructed

so now we're
gathering resources.

We are harvesting as
much as we possibly can,

especially bananas
and sugar cane.

This is the sugar cane.

This is a really
precious commodity.

We spent the first
almost week and a half

in a really barren area.

We're all feeling pretty
good about our spot right now.

[ Grunts ]

I think that's a
pretty good haul.

- Dang, sugar queen!
- Whoo!

You can be my sugar
mamma any time!

[ Chuckles ] Fair enough.

Fair enough. We're doing well,

but we are always
looking for more resources.

You guys want to walk and
talk and see what we see?

Let's go for a scouting mission.

Narrator: At the far
end of the same beach,

Rylie faces her first day as
the lone remaining member

of the all-female team.

Yesterday, Christina tapped,

and honestly I feel
like complete [bleep]

She became, you
know, my friend out here

more so than a teammate,

and I just felt like
we could do it.

Now I'm the only one left,

and I did my first
challenge by myself.

I think this is a very
low point for me.

Look. Who's that?

Hey! Hello?

It's a Naked person!

Whoo!

I hear yelling and screaming,

and they're coming
down the beach.

Three bad-asses looking
for some other bad-asses.

Hi, friends! How you doing?

It's been a long road here.

I am so pumped
to see other people.

[ Laughter ]

You don't understand,
like, there's people

that I don't even
like in my life

that I would have been
happy to see come through

just because they're
another human.

James: So, where
are your partners?

They both tapped. I am
completely on my own.

Wow.

So, I'm the last
of women's team.

[Bleep]

I'm excited to see Rylie,
but at the same time,

our hearts dropped
because being alone out here

would be unbelievably difficult.

James: We're on a new beach,

and we've met
Rylie which is great.

It might afford us the
opportunity to fish better.

We have more hands
to collect the firewood.

♪

Duke: So, how are you feeling?

When Christina left,
when you think about,

like, there's 30 more days,

and myself having
to do it by myself,

it's incredibly
daunting to think,

how am I gonna pull this off?

You know, I wanted to build
something with my teammates,

and now they're both gone.

Well, what do you think? We
should probably adopt Rylie.

[ Laughter ]

I'm adopted!

The fact that I have been,

you know, adopted into a
group and not only any group,

but a group that really
suits me, I got very lucky.

So, hopefully on day 40,
we all walk out together.

♪

Charlie: We got a body coming.

Looks like Russell.

Back from the dead.

- Whoo!
- What's up, people?

- What's going on, buddy?
- Same old, same old.

Alive and well.

Charlie: I'm glad to see
you walking on your own.

- Hell yeah.
- Yeah, definitely.

That was a scary
moment for a little bit.

- Scary for all of us.
- Scary for all of us.

Scared the absolute
[Bleep] though.

Thank you, brother.
Thanks for all the help.

Getting tired of
carrying you places.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you, brother.

Glad you're all right.
Hey, brother, man.

- All right.
- What happened?

What did they say?

So, my indigestion
caused my stomach

to distend, which was
pushing up on my diaphragm

and my lungs so
I couldn't breathe.

It was causing all of my muscles

to tighten up 'cause
of lack of oxygen.

So, they got me in there,
and they laid me down,

and once I got calmed
down and relaxed,

caused me to release
that pressure that I had,

and I'm fine and dandy now.

Duck and I thought
you were gonna die

in our arms on the beach.

We we're like, "aw, geez."

It was getting there.

Russell: Last night
really scared me.

I have never experienced
that before in my life.

My body's weak
from all the cramps.

- Welcome back.
- Thank you.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Oh, yeah, I'm
definitely feeling better.

As soon as Russell
rolls up, it's awesome,

but it's concerning
because we currently

don't have a solid food source.

And we obviously need something
more substantial than fruit.

Everybody feel good?
How you feeling?

Oh, getting there.

Resource-wise, we kind
of blew through this place

like a hurricane.

- Yep.
- Yeah.

Max: I think it's time
to start thinking of

hitting the road. Yeah.

Yeah, I think we're gonna
be out of here tomorrow.

Yeah, I wouldn't
be opposed to that.

We have to get off this beach.

There's got to be a jungle, some
place with food and more water.

So, we want to be careful
when we get out of here.

By land could be dangerous
so you know I got hurt.

I don't want anybody
else to get hurt

so we take our time.

- We'll go nice and easy.
- Nice and easy.

♪

♪

You guys ready to hit the road?

- Yep.
- Sí, señor.

- The time's come.
- We're getting ready.

- Got the map right here.
- Right on.

All righty, it looks like we're
right here at this beach,

and I think we're headed
in through this waterway

to that water source and
this cave system right here.

Narrator: With their
beach resources depleted,

the team of six will head 7
miles into the dense jungle,

towards this system of caves,

a path infested with thorns,
poisonous centipedes,

and Philippine pit vipers
whose camouflaged skin

creates a nearly
invisible and deadly threat.

- A lot of clouds rolling in.
- Yep.

It's gonna be a fun hike.

♪

- You guys good?
- Oh, yeah.

Collect any edibles
you see as we go.

I won't even need to wear
shoes anymore after this.

My feet are gonna
be bulletproof.

[ Thunder crashes ]

Charlie: I'm worried
about the storm coming up.

♪

- How we doing?
- Good.

- We're doing.
- We're doing good back here.

We're going at a good pace.

This is the type of terrain
that got me in Ecuador.

Now we're walking
inside this jungle,

and it's pouring
down rain, downpour.

I'm very careful
when I'm walking,

especially in the jungle.

My last XL challenge, I slipped,
and I severed my quad then.

Whoa!

Aah! Aah!

[ Groans ] [Bleep]

To have gotten hurt so
quickly, it was devastating.

It's the first thing
I feel I failed at.

I have a scar that reminds
me of it every damn day.

Redemption means
more to me than anything.

- Going straight up.
- Ooh, it's getting dark.

Yep. Kind of want to
get somewhere soon.

Yeah. Rain's getting heavier.

- Yep.
- Here we go.

- Oh, snake right here... viper.
- Oh [bleep]

- Be careful.
- Watch yourself.

- Viper!
- Viper.

Right behind you.

- Oh, oh [bleep]
- No. No! No!

- Hold on, hold on, hold on.
- Whoa!

Russell: Oh, snake
right here... viper.

- [Bleep]
- Watch yourself.

- Viper.
- Viper.

- Right behind you.
- Don't want to make him mad.

- Oh [bleep]
- Got to be able to try

to get him on the ground.

Just trying to steer
clear from this guy.

- Oh, oh [bleep]
- No. No!

No!

- Oh [bleep]
- He's away.

- Whoa, whoa.
- Oh.

Should have just
hacked his head off.

- He was quick.
- He's very quick.

Could have been
a disaster, though.

Anybody could
have stepped on it,

and boom, that's game
over for potentially life.

- We got hot Nanas.
- Ooh.

- Do we have hot Nanas?
- We have hot Nanas.

- Browns?
- They're split, which tells me

that we're mostly palatable.

We're starting to have the
idea of migrating simply because

we know that our
extraction point

is very, very far from here.

It'll be good to get out of here

and get a little bit closer
to our extraction point.

Mm-hmm. I agree.

Let's give ourselves a
couple days from now,

which means that, like, tomorrow

will probably be
our last big, like,

resource collection day.

'Cause the day after will
be, like, packing day, right?

Make a big push for
collection of resources.

We are going to be weaker
toward the end of our challenge

and to err on the
side of caution,

we don't want to be
facing a 20-mile hike.

James: Maybe find
some more game.

Finding more game
would be great.

- Yeah.
- Yep.

We're gonna take a
look at the map and see...

Laura: Yeah, we need to
find a route for tomorrow.

We know we're not
going by the sea.

- Yeah.
- We're leaving this beach.

It's time to go, it's time to
head back into the jungle.

Bring it on.

Jeff: It seems like
inland there's another

freshwater source here.

God, is that another cave? Whoa.

That looks like a big cave.

Yeah.

So, I think that's
pretty obvious.

Yep.

This is it right
there, that cave.

I say we let the others know.

Yep.

- Howdy, neighbors.
- Hey!

Trekking through the jungle,
there's safety in numbers,

more eyes to spot the dangers,

but also more noise to
scare the dangers away.

We were talking, and
we're probably gonna start

heading for the jungle.

Jeff: Tomorrow is
what we're thinking.

- Okay.
- You know, to get out of here

while our energy
levels are still high.

I mean, we want to
get closer to extraction,

and if we get 1/3 of the way,

rather than wait
here for two weeks

and maybe run out of
bananas, that's a no-brainer.

Right. I mean,
if it works better,

I mean, maybe we
head out together.

- Yeah!
- I like it.

This place is definitely
a recovery zone for us.

We came in here, and
we've been rejuvenated.

Jeff and Laura,
they have a plan.

I trust their plan.

We know that it's
the right thing to do,

and it's time to go.

I'm making a basket.

We're leaving so we got to
bring as much with us as we can.

There. Now I think we got it.

Sweet.

I believe in you, Rylie.

I believe in your basket, too.

Yeah, right.

This little franken-basket.

This one needs to be tightened.

Tighten it? To make it fit.

Okay.

We've gone a full day with
our new teammate, Rylie,

and I think that's
gonna be pretty good.

Seems to fit right into
our group dynamics,

part of the family.

Gabrielle: James, yours
is looking sweet. So cute!

Oh, my god, I
love it. Man purse.

It's not a man purse,
it's a European side-bag!

Jeff: Right now I'm
collecting bamboo,

I'm collecting fishing
line, I'm collecting anything

that I think could be
of use down the road,

because once we
head into that jungle,

we have nothing but
what is on our backs.

Charlie: Let me know when
you get to the slick mud, okay?

- Here we go.
- All right.

Take your time going through it.

I see it.

That's my Nemesis
right there, my enemy.

We are soaked from head to toe.

The ground is muddier,

I don't want Charlie to slip
and fall and bust his knee again

so the first shelter we find,

the first shelter
we want to go to.

Angela: It's opening up.
We got to get out of this.

- Yep.
- Just go on.

Be careful.

Looking like this
might be home here.

I see a big, old cliff face.

- Whoo! We really found home!
- Yep.

All right. Let's get in there.

Cave gives plenty of overhang.

We got some fresh
water. We got us a river.

Hopefully that river will
have some kind of sea life in it.

We got a nice big
area over here, brother.

- Really?
- And we an put our pot under right now.

I like this. I'm
calling this home.

♪

Duck: What do we think
about this place, Max?

Well, it's good
shelter, good cover.

Definitely that.

Yeah, so we don't
really have to work

our asses off
making the shelter.

Duck: We're trying to get a
fire built, it's pouring down rain.

Our cave kind of looks like

an Ozzy Osbourne
rock video right now.

Charlie: This is
exactly the training

I did in the Marine Corps
right here in the Philippines.

Exactly the conditions
and the same environment.

I wasn't on a
beach, I was in this.

- If I could do it...
- Yeah. -...We can do it.

Max: Whoo! Aye, aye, sarge.

You better believe it, brother.

What the... what
the [bleep] was that?

Whoa, something
flew on to my leg.

- Flew on to your leg?
- Yeah.

Russell: Sound like a chinook.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.

Duck: Damn bat.

Got little teeth sticking out.

Got little claws on
them, too, those bastards.

Got pissed on by one.

Oh [bleep]

That [bleep] bat decides
he wants to fly around

Duck: Charlie got attacked
by bats at nighttime.

- Oh, yeah.

Nicole: One tried to
cuddle with Charlie.

There's no drops in our

But water's coming down
and I see bats flying overhead.

It freaked me out.

But I'm calm.

♪

- Howdy, crew!
- Hi, friends!

You guys look ready. Love it.

Time to get a move on.

We're about to leave this beach,

and we're about to head
through a very, very dense jungle.

From what I understand,
it's tough to navigate.

To me, that's nerve wracking.

- You guys lead the way?
- All right.

- Sounds good.
- All right.

There's about to be a lot more
dangling bananas in this jungle.

[ Laughter ]

Got yellow flies out here.

I've already got stung right

where you don't
want to get stung.

- Oh, wow.
- Don't say "yellow jackets."

- Nope, yellow flies.
- It is amazing once you leave

that beautiful, sandy beach
how quickly it turns into

dense, harsh jungle.

- Ouch.
- Low-hanging branches.

Yep, low.

The last sound of the waves
are fading into the distance.

This place is so thick and
difficult to navigate and muddy.

We're in the thick of it now.

Oh, look at this centipede.

- Ooh, you okay?
- That is a big one.

- Where is it?
- He's to your right.

- Mm.
- Careful, Laura, careful.

Laura and I spent 20
days in the jungle already.

We know what awaits us
in there, and it's not pretty.

And if you're not
mentally tough,

you will not make it
through that jungle.

Gabrielle: That looks like
a dense jungle back there.

Jeff: Somebody
could get very hurt.

♪

Charlie: All right, guys,
what are we doing today?

We're pretty much doing it
until this rain stops at least.

It's cold and wet out there,

I don't think that's something
that we really want to...

Other than grabbing firewood.

We're all a little bit tired.

You know, when you're so low
on energy and you trek so much,

and it's the rain and it's cold,
so, today is rest, hydration,

firewood, and, you know, sleep.

I'm going out for a walk.

- Okay.
- I will be back.

You guys cool with that?

Oh, yeah.

Charlie kind of reminds
me of my grandpa.

He's a "go, go,
go, go, go, go, go.

And if you don't want
to help, kiss my ass."

- Be careful.
- Yep, I'll be careful.

That man, he just goes
and goes and goes.

I'm a team-first guy.

Getting out in this jungle
gives me an opportunity

to better my
situation, our situation.

Sitting in my cave, that
doesn't do me any good.

I'm looking for something
that can make our life better.

Okay. Got to be
careful over here.

♪

- Got the jungle slosh going on.
- Yeah.

Laura: How you guys holding up?

I have a bunch of
food still, so that's great.

That's the spirit. Ugh!

- You all right?
- Yeah, I just lost my balance.

Ugh!

Just got a bad ant bite.

Watch out. There's
ants in the trail.

- Ants on the trail.
- Ouch!

- Ants on the trail. Ow.
- Aah.

- We're getting bit up.
- Ugh.

That was a welcome-back bite.

Jeff: That was. It was
a welcome to the jungle.

We got it, guys.
We're almost there.

Holy cow.

- I see a city of caves.
- Wow!

- Man!
- Thank god.

- Oh!
- That is a cave.

- Wow. That is big.
- Holy cow.

Coming through the jungle,

we saw this gaping
hole in the rocks.

And it was a massive cave.

A couple people
could sleep here.

Oh, look at this.
There's some more...

Maybe there's some nooks
and crannies throughout.

Oh, there could
be space up here.

Good eye. Right.

There's a nice cubby spot
here for maybe two people.

Oh, for sure.

Upstairs, there's a tiny,
little, cramped cavern

that Jeff and I actually like.

Small spaces are easy to
heat, it's pretty dry up there,

and it just makes
sense for us to be there.

This is a good score,
though. Good start.

Yeah, this cave is amazing.

I guess we're gonna have
to share a house, neighbors.

- Yeah.
- It's a decent option.

It's a duplex, that's fine.

Laura and I, we know
that there's water.

I may have to put my small fish
hooks to work in these streams.

Wow.

That's got me intrigued
because eels like deep,

dark water with a lot of cover.

If there was ever an area
where there would be eels,

it would be at the
mouth of that cave.

Any eel coming through
here, it's gonna see my bait.

I'm gonna set up a whole
lot of passive fishing lines,

when I need to attack.

I'm gonna conserve my
energy when I need to.

There's no point for me
to run around right now.

Russell: I'm gonna walk
around and see if I can't find

some dry wood.

- Sounds good.
- A-ha.

Look at this.

Talk about luck of the draw.

All this is firewood.

It's all dry on the inside.

And the shelter is
literally right there.

Max: Yeah, pretty [bleep] close.

I just like gathering
it out here,

I don't like stomping
through that damn mud.

That is a fair, fair
statement, my friend.

Angela: Work smarter not harder.

I'm bringing 40 pounds
in one little arm load.

Russell: Charlie's a go-getter,
and he always has been

a go-getter, but he's wasting
his energy that he doesn't have.

And we are
conserving our calories,

and it was a group decision
to conserve our calories.

Rylie: That'd be nice.

It really would.

Duke and Gabby have

I'm here tending the fire.

Somebody needed

Rylie: To get firewood here

is incredibly

You still have to
process it and dry it.

It's a time thing.

Somehow, some

God, I really hope

I could go for some eel.

Me too. It's, like, my favorite.

I could always go
for some eel. Mm.

This is a long trek to get to

but we've got to
check these things.

Let's be honest.

If you have a fish
on one of those lines,

you are going to yell so loud

anyone in this jungle
is gonna hear you.

Am I wrong? Okay,
how about this...

I, Jeff, swear that
if I catch a fish,

I will be really, really,
really quiet today.

I promised to Laura if I
catch a fish on the fish line,

I'm gonna be quiet, so I guess

I'm gonna have to
keep that promise.

- Hey, guys.

So, I've learned
communication is the key

And I'm gonna communicate.

Okay.

For me to be walking here
with a 40-pound bundle of wood

that I bundled up and cut
from about 200 meters away

and nobody to even get up...

My team especially,
I'm disappointed...

To get up and offer me a
hand is a little bit disappointing.

The fact that we all know
that we need firewood.

Charlie, I walked
right out there

and found dry firewood
that we're burning right now.

Okay, and is that gonna
last... listen, I'm not angry,

and I'm not causing drama.

- Oh, here we go.
- I'm not causing drama.

I'm just saying this
isn't gonna supply us

with enough
firewood for the night.

That is.

Are you gonna sit
in the cave all day?

Hey, I got up and got
firewood and got snails.

Okay, good.

I'm getting firewood
for everybody.

If you don't want to help...

I'm conserving my
calories for 24 more days.

Okay.

I just think what you're doing

is burning calories
you don't have,

and you're making
a deal out of it

when there's
firewood right there.

Okay, well, when
we're out alone tonight...

And it's all wet, and
I'm finding dry stuff.

I'm burning it. You got it.

You see if that
lasts you the night.

Let's see whose
firewood pile lasts longer.

Russell: For [bleep] sake, man.

I don't want him to
blow his knee out,

I want him to make it
through the 40 with us.

I don't want him
to go home early,

and us be mad that
he left on a stupid

[bleep] Mistake.

Duke: This is such
a well-trodden path.

Gabrielle: Jeff and Laura
very well could be walking

on the same path right.

We don't see the
same kind of resources

that we're hoping to see.

We don't see any wildlife.

Narrator: Throughout
the 40-day challenge,

each camp will receive a shared
"Naked and Afraid XL" rating

or "XLR", which
tracks their progress

and likelihood of success.

After pushing deep into the
jungle for better resources,

Charlie's aggressive work
ethic has lead to protein...

Two meals, guys.

- Oh!
- Oh!

But also tension
within the group.

Are you gonna sit
in a cave all day?

He's wasting energy
that he doesn't have.

Narrator: Still, their group
XL rating ticks up slightly from

a 7.7 to a 7.9.

- Hey!
- It's a Naked person!

I am so pumped
to see other people.

Narrator: By accepting
Rylie into their team...

We should probably adopt Rylie.

James, Duke, and Gabrielle

increased their
strength in numbers.

We're gonna finish together.

But since moving
into the jungle,

have yet to supplement
their fruit supply

with any significant protein.

- Empty.
- Yep.

Their XL rating
drops from 7.8 to 7.5.

Jeff and Laura
remain a separate team

from their cave mates...
