Naked and Afraid XL (2015–…): Season 8, Episode 7 - Careful What You Fish For - full transcript

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

Oh, my god.

oh, my god.
There's smoke at the shelter.

I'm gonna creep up there.

There might be somebody there.

the ground's
hard here.

- it sure is.
- sure does...

what's up, guys?

Oh, my god.

- Hey, where'd you come from?
- I saw smoke coming,
and I was super excited.

- oh, my god!
- Where'd you come from?



I can't believe you guys
are real, come here.

I know how crazy is it?

come here!
Oh, my gosh. I'm so happy!

- yeah, we got here...
- oh, that's so cool!

We got here
about five days ago.

I was at another camp,

- Like, three miles down
the river.
- Yeah.

- Oh, my god.
- Yeah, 'cause I was by myself
for 15 days.

- Yeah.
- 15 days?

Yeah, but I feel great!

And, uh, we've been
killing it here.

We set this all up.
This was abandoned.

Oh, my gosh, so...
I spent a really hard day
walking here.

- And I saw your guys' smoke, and I'm like, "humans!
- " - yeah.



You know, I don't know
a lot about amber.

She was in louisiana
with me, but she had
to be medically tapped

Before I even got to go out
and actually survive with her.

We're strangers.

I'm with trish and jen.

- Okay.
- Jeff was with us.

He almost died.

He got so sick,
they medically pulled him.

- No way.
- oh my.

And dude, I've never
seen somebody

Start from day one
to day nine,
actually start dying.

- yeah.
-I was bawling, I was...
It was so bad.

- Wow.
- So, um...

I, um, have been
the provider...

- Yeah.
- ...For 30 days.

- Nice.
- And they were taking
advantage of me a little bit.

- 'cause if I didn't fish, we didn't eat.
- - yeah.

It's just... It got
to the point where...

...I just was doin'
all the work.

And so I decided to leave.

It's hard to leave my group,

But I left them
with all my resources.

They have 10 days left.

I want them
to go to the next level.

I don't... You guys
can think what you want
of me,

But if you were there
you'd understand why.

Yeah, well now you're here.

- Yeah.
- Leave all that back there.

- I don't want to hear
any more about it.
- I'm super excited, okay.

I get it. I mean,
uh, you're welcome.

I mean we divvy up everything.

So, like, we work
on shelter every day.

We... So, we don't
just fish everyday,

We just don't do
that kind of, like...

We gotta do
everything everyday.

No, that's... Whatever.
You know, if you guys
would be okay with me,

- I'm a hard worker.
- Absolutely.

- I just don't want to intrude.
- no, no, no!

- I've gotta through
it out there.
- Do it!

- I do it with everybody.
- Lay the boundaries,
I like it

I think that way
we're all on the same page.

having amber
show up here, you know,

Nature's unpredictable,
survival situations
are unpredictable.

And when you have somebody
come in, you just gotta see
how they fit the dynamics.

And hopefully they're
a good hard worker
and they're all in.

It's also one more
mouth to feed.

- Thank you, brother.
- I'm totally down.

Totally down.

Are we the... The originals?

- We are.
- Like, I can't believe
you're here!

This is huge!

This is definitely, like,
a dream for me
to have a dream team.

And they have the experienc
of doing a 60 day challenge
in louisiana.

And I just have to carry
my weight and work hard,
and get to day 60.

And today
the countdown starts.

You can come in
and have a seat.

- We can, uh...
- thanks for having me, guys.

thank you, amazon!

one mile south
of amber's new camp...

Snake country.

So, right now, I'm headed
into this palm forest

To see if there's
a vermin or...

...Something.

matt's bow
has finally taken down
some major prey.

That's bigger than a chicken.

- hey!
- yes!

When it rains, it pours,
and sometimes it pours meat.

as dan and waz
hone in on their 40 day goal

you're in the zone.

The way that I feel right now,
we could do anything.

you're gettin' there.

So often, just like
our everyday lives,

Sometimes you're hot,
you're hot.

And the last 48 hours
has produced...

...A, um, horned
screaming turkey.

It has produced a heron.

Now it'd be fantastic
to get a capybara,
or some other big mammal.

You can't ruin a streak.

So each day you
gotta work as hard
or harder than the day befor

let's see
what happens.

we're closing in
on day 40. Feeling great.

We got lots of energy
in our bodies.

We're... We're feeling good.

Our spirits are high.
Everything's goin'
really well.

Really excited,
to get the challenge finishe

Because I wanna finish
strong as well.

I don't wanna just, uh,
chip away at the days

And then just, like,
stumble over the line.

I wanna finish
the way we started.

That's a no go.

Nope.

This is not enough.

I wanna work the garden.

Final days,
I'm pushing myself.

I wanna experience more,
do more, accomplish more,

But... Um...

Man, it's also about risk
mitigation at this point.

This is by far the longest
I've ever gone on a challeng

Or any survival situation
like this.

Pretty soon,
in just a few days,

I'm gonna be able to go hom
and see my loved ones
and tell 'em stories.

So, I don't wanna hurt
myself or make myself sick
or do something

To not get myself
across that line.

My little tomatoes
are growing.

It's been about
22 days since I first
planted 'em.

They're gettin' big!

What also helps
vegetables grow,
and a lotta plants,

Is a little extra ammonia,
a little nitrogen.

Things that are
in healthy soil,

And also things
that are in your urine.

So, uh, we've been, uh...

...Taking turns peeing
on it every day.

Whenever we get the urge
and are passing by the garden.

And voila, fertilized.

I think it's helping 'em
grow up nicely.

five miles
to the south...

...Trish and jen
begin their second day
as a twosome.

how's it look?

looks good!

Let's see what you need.

Trish and jen the og taj.

yes.

No bitchin', just itchin'.

Today, I am leaving.

Bye.

after amber's departure...

We got this.

- Oh, yeah.
- We got this.

We've had this since day one.

...Left them
to fend for themselves.

Not even a nibble,
I feel nothing on here.

you know,
I'm not leavin' ya.

You'll have one partner
sticking with you to the end.

Honestly, trish, you will
have been the only person
who hasn't left me.

I mean,
we've been together
since day one,

We're gonna be together
on day 40.

I've lost so many partners
throughout my challenges.

Um, trish is currently
one of six,

Who is my strongest,
longest standing partner.

And it means so much,
if we can complete
this challenge together

From start to finish.

we're doin' fine
without the amber show here.

Amber is a wonderful
fisher woman.

However, we don't need
amber to provide for us.

We can do this.

Not worried about it at all.

Not one bit.

so I'm thinking
we spring clean
the whole shelter today.

- I think that's a fantastic idea.
- Yeah.

we've got some
new firewood back here.

We're gonna deconstruct
the bed.

You leave, your bed
gets burned.

that's how it is
over here at the taj maison

I'm gonna go fish.

Trish and I decide
to divide and conquer.

She's going to fish.

I'm gonna work
on the shelter a little bit

I'm utilizing all
this extra firewood
I found in our shelter.

It may or may not
have been amber's bed.

Um, but she's not here.

She chose to leave
and so I just figured we'd
utilize all of our resources

In our shelter.

You know, we just need
to make this our space.

All right, where's the rest
of those little suckers.

I'm just tryin' a see
where the fish are.

I just look for the fish
and then throw the line there.

Amber thought of herself
as being on top
of the totem pole here.

And, uh, she's somebody
else's problem now.

Like, I am totally capable
of anything out here.

Oh, he's just looking at it,
I'm practically hitting him
on the head with it.

fish aren't biting.

*bleep*

day 31.

Fishing time, baby.

hell yeah.

Team work
makes the dream work.

Damn.

Let's do it.

Plan for today,

Is to hit my secret
fishing hole... Super hard.

I can't wait.

Ej's gonna do
a little walkabout,

To see if he can't find
any caiman, capybara,

Anything on the ground
worth hunting.

While me and amber
are by the creek fishin'.

I'm a little skinny.

I get some good
food in me, I'll be all right.

We gotta trek.

I'll keep the pace.

I'm ready to do this.

I'm ready to go fishing
and fill up my belly today
with the boys.

And, uh... Show 'em
that I got what it takes
to be part of their team.

you goin'
on that side to fish?

I'm goin' on this side.
You gonna hug the right side?

- I'm gonna try seein' what's up this way.
- - okay.

And I'll meet you guys
over there.

okay, sounds
like a plan,

Just exactly where
I was last time.

- Okay.
- okay.

- Good luck, brother, love you.
- You too.

- good luck, man.
- Good luck, guys.

so this is, like,
one of my best
hunting holes over here.

sweet.

I get to the creek
and the creek's
totally different.

It's the first time
I've been back out here
since it was flooded out.

And it looks
like the water's
gone back down.

fish everywhere,
I'm tellin' ya.

Amber's a welcome addition.

Always happy to have another
set of hands

And another hard worker
part of the team.

I can't wait,
'cause I know she's
an incredible fisherwoman.

And I guarantee
she's gonna pull

An insane amount
of fish outta there.

got a monster.

you got 'em?

Whoo!

What does it look like?

Puppy's got some teeth.

- What?
- Holy cow.

there you go.

Pretty good find.

they're going crazy
right now, which is awesome.

Got two!

- Nice!
- Number two for us.

atta girl.

it's gonna
be really nice
taking this win home

And having a wonderful meal,
celebrating it with my two
new brothers.

Here's one, amber.

You got it?

Get it!

So we got three now, whoo-hoo!

Yeah, not much
of a game trail here.

What I'm doin' right now
is really a scout hunt.

Tryin' to get any opportunity
hunt in.

Anything I can kill,
put on the table,

And also just
gather information.

So I'm gonna move
further down this game trail.

Get a little deeper in,
maybe I'll have better luck.

I really want to contribute
to my team.

I want to put some food
in the pot

And help provide
a little bit for the team.

I'm just here
to help steven and amber,

Because it's those two
that are going for
the 60 day mark...

Not me.

*bleep*

Lotsa thorns.

Boom!

and one more.

I lost him.

That was a big one.

Oh, my god! Look at this fish!

get one?

Aww! And a lucky me.

The bait is still on!

Whoo!

Nice!

Wow!

Atta girl.

best day
fishing, ever.

Whoa!

Amazon provides, baby.

They're getting harder...

...Harder to get.

I'm gonna go get some water.

So our good fresh palm
is kind of running low.

I'll see if I can
find any more
fresh ones in our normal spot.

These look great.

We're always...

...Adding to the shelter.

Hoping for no leaks
and a dry night.

Whazzup?

How're you doing?

yeah, I'm a little
frustrated right now.

I haven't had to spend
that much time in the pond,
and not get anything.

Those ponds are...
Are seeing their last days
with us, you know.

We're... We're drying
up here.

- It's seriously time
to really consider...
- Yeah.

...What our next move is
before we have no energy
to do anything.

Yeah, we'll have
to get creative.

I'm listening
and I'm hearing
the sounds of the wild.

I'm looking for footsteps,
I'm looking for scrapes,
I'm looking for holes.

I'm tryin' to learn and adap

And truly become
part of this jungle.

I just saw movement
in that tree right there.

Look at that.

look at that.

Got him, baby. Yes!

some kind of
little crazy rodent.

I have no idea what little
rat, rodent this thing is,

But this is about
a 3-pound rodent of some sort.

And I'll tell you what,

I have been hunting
out here for hours

And it's nice to
not come back empty-handed.

Because this little things was
blended in big-time.

So it's just gonna be tasty
for my partners.

yellow-crown
brush-tailed rats
are small nocturnal rodents

Found throughout the
rainforests of south america

They often nest in tree hole

Making them
very difficult to spot.

Little tiny successes
like this is really...

Is really what makes survival
either thrive

Or merely get by.

So, today...

We get a little extra
red meat in our diet.

Hey, check it out.

Yeah!

Interesting.

you could say
a big fat rodent.

matt wright,
best hunter on
all of naked and afraid.

Matt comes back with
this amazonian tree rat,

But it's not even like
a small rat.

It is like a big
guinea pig type thing.

Kind of smells sweet,
like caramel.

- That's weird.
- Isn't that weird?

It smells delicious...

- It smells like candy.
- ...But like dessert.

you don't show us
something big,

- We'll start hunting
something small.
- Right? I'll take it.

Once you wander out
further from home,

More dangers, gotta watch
where you're stepping.

Don't wanna step on something
that... like a fer-de-lance.

That would be a bad day.

Not seeing anything.

Oh, well.

- We're gonna live like
kings and queen!
- We're gonna eat so good!

Where are you guys at?

we're right here.
We're coming at ya, brother.

Hey, ej, you hungry?

I'm real hungry.

Wait till you see the win.

Dang, that's my two
right there!

- That's my partner!
- look at that.

This girl caught like
most of these.

Look at these
fat boys she got.

Wow!

Having an addition to your
team like amber,

Who's such a hard worker an
such a seasoned survivalist

And has a passion
for fishing like I do

Is such a benefit.

And, uh, between
the three of us...

we're gonna be
fat and happy
by the end of this thing.

I'm glad you guys
are hittin' them because

Land-based hunting...

- Almost impossible.
- ...Nothing.

- let's head back and cook up some fish, dude.
- That's awesome.

Being with steven and ej,
I don't have to prove myself,

'cause they're such
great teammates

And they give gratitude
and appreciation.

And it's like
I don't know what that's lik

And coming here shows me tha
there is a real way

Of having a great
team dynamic

Where you work together
and appreciate one another.

There is just positivity
and people who are motivated

To do what
I want to do as well.

Day 31 with my brothers,
steven and ej.

Rackin' and stackin' the fish
with these guys.

- That's how we do.
- We're thriving, baby.

Gangsters. Jungle gangsters.

Ooh, I like that.

- Goodnight. Yeah!
- Yeah.

If this net works, that will
be so freaking amazing.

- Yeah.
- I feel like
it's our last-ditch effort

To really get any of the fish
out of the pond.

Early on in this challenge,

I thought of an idea
to make a fishing net,

Like a little scoop net
that could possibly work
getting some fish.

But I haven't really
put it to use.

So, jen and I are going to
try the net out.

Okay.

You know,
we built that net together

And amber doesn't think
the net was gonna work.

So, I am looking forward
to getting a fish in that ne

Let's see if it works.

right here.

We should just chill
right in the shallows.

Whoa, a huge fish
just went that way.

- It's nice you can see 'em
over here.
- Hold on, jen, see 'em?

They're right there.

whoa! There're so many.

There they all go, jen.
All of them.

Look! The whole *bleep* squad.

I just watched
the school of fish

Go from this very shallow area

To the bigger area.

I am limiting their exit
to one little path.

So if I block everything
the way they exit,

They'll only have one way I
and one way out.

We can scare them
back this way.

And once they get in here,
we can trap them with the ne

So they're only gonna be able
to come through this
little passage right here.

We're gonna use that net,
so when they try to escape,

One of us will be waiting here
on the log with the net.

Yep, right there.

But up against those
logs that are there.

Here I come.

Just be ready.

I saw that.

- right here, jen.
- Don't let him *bleep* out!

Don't let him out.
He's trying to get out.

He's... he's trapped
right here.

Jen, right here. Get him!

- I have it with...
- jen, *bleep*!

-Get him.
Here, we've got him.
-Great.

Don't let him through,
don't let him through.

he slid through.

*bleep*, jen. Damn it.

-All right, all right.
Now you know what to expect.
-Yeah.

All right,
hold it tight there.

But I don't know if
there's anymore in here,

I didn't see anything.

*bleep* yeah, jen! Whoo!
Get it jen!

Did you get it?

- No, it got out of the net.
- *bleep*.

But I got one.

Oh, my god!

That totally worked,

But it just slid through
one of the holes, I guess.

- oh, my god!
- If I... I mean, that worked.

- I sucks that that hole was...
- well, we know that it works.

Your idea was genius.

- And we should just repair
the net a little bit tonight.
- Yeah.

- We'll tie it up.
- Try it again
once it settles.

Okay.

it's trial and error out her

We saw a lot of potential
in what we were doing.

It was a genius idea
on trish's part.

But we have 10 days left
till extraction,

So to finish out
this challenge,

We do need something
in our bellies.

- Jungle gangsters
murdering it out here.
- Ooh!

- Yeah!
- I'll tell you what!

Now that we got
a ton of fish today,

We goin' a little
jungle grill style.

We got some green sticks
over some hot coals.

That's about half our feast
right there.

The most fish I've ever
caught in the amazon

And I did it
within one day.

And I was lucky enough
to have ej and steven with m

And steven's honey hole
paid off 1,000%.

Just so grateful for
all of this.

amber comes in
with an immense amount
of energy

And she's all about team

And we can't ask for
anything more than that.

She's a hard worker,
she's got great ideas

And she's a skilled fisherma

And to have two skilled
fishermen on a team of three

Is awesome.

I really walked into a group
that really matches

My type of speed that I give
every day and energy,

And this is it.
This is where I belong.

And I'm really grateful
to be here.

- Just the beginning.
- just the beginning.

Full bellies, lots of protein.

- Good job, team.
- Incredible teamwork.

- Yay!
- Boom.

What a great first day,
altogether.

amazon jungle tree rat

At its finest.

All right.
You wanna try this out?

Sure.

Brush-tailed tree rat
is the name.

Yeah. Amazon tree rat.

I done my rat medium red,
just like I like it.

yeah.

- It's got a good
sweetness to it, doesn't it?
- Mmm-hmm.

Huh, it's not bad.

Yeah, it's got a nice...
a nice flavor.

I have almost
eaten a rat

On every single challenge
I've been on, too.

And this rat is like
it's dipped in sugar.

It's almost bizarre
how sweet this rat is.

Whatever it eats
must be delicious.

That's a tasty dinner.

Yeah.

Best rat I've ever eaten.

Figure I'll fill up the pot
and start boiling it

If you guys are
okay with that, or...

- always.
- I'm on it.

Ej and steven have
a lot of energy

And I just
gotta give it back 110%.

Work my butt off every day

And make sure that we have
food, fire, wood and water

Like what they do.

I'm really excited
about this area.

Oh, palms don't come
with a backup beeper.

Oh, my god! Fer-de-lance.

- Guys!
- Yeah?

Um, there's a big snake.

- Got it.
- Oh, my god.

- Help!
- Oh, *bleep*!

Coming! I'm coming!

- Where are you?
- I'm near the trail.

is it a fer-de-lance?

Oh, he's striking.
He's striking!

aah!

Oh, my god,
I'm gonna *bleep* die.

oh, my god.
Fer-de-lance.

- Guys, help!
- Oh, *bleep*!

Oh, he's striking.
He's striking!

aah!

- where are you?
- I'm right here, come on.

I'm coming!

He striked at me three times.

Where are you guys at?

- *bleep*.
- let me his head.

is it a fer-de-lance?

Got him? I'm gonna
bury his head.

- Careful. Just...
- yeah.

I can't believe
I walked on him.

- my firs...
- whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm not going anywhere.

put it down here
for a second.

Let me just get...

There. Okay.
Now I feel comfortable.

all right.
What do you got there, amber?

My first fir-de-lance.
I pinned it on a tree.

there we go.

That girl must have
an angel on her shoulders,

'cause not many people
step on a fir-de-lance

And live to tell about it.

I'm feeling blessed and
I know god is watching me

- After stepping on this
and it tried striking me.
- For sure.

Never been so scared
in my life.

I can't wait to eat him.

'm gonna go
check for fish.

Okay.

Last night, we had the, uh,
brush-tailed rat,

But it was such a small amou
it doesn't make a difference

So I'm excited to see if
we can get something.

I wanna keep this track aliv
so I've gotta
get some food today.

It's getting pretty close.

We need one more little
calorie pump before
we hit the 40.

Nope.

That's a shame.

- No fish for breakfast.
- no?

- not even one?
- Not a one.

- Oh.
- All lines were exactly
where they were left.

one of those kind
of mornings, is it?

Wow. I baited them all
really good last night

And redid all the hooks, even.

Strange.

This spot was
producing some fish.

But now, it's producing
very little to no fish.

In survival,
it's feast or famine.

Right now,
we are feasting.

But to make it 40 or 60 day
is not a simple task.

You just have to keep lookin
for the next food source.

- Maybe we can explore
further up on this side.
- Yeah.

Just on the...
Just onto the outside

And make a day of
just exploring.

Yeah, we'll just make
a little platform where

We could put our pot
and our bows, quivers,

And then we could just
push it across the river.

I think there's a lot
more across the river
that we haven't seen.

We're going on a scouting
mission to a new place
across the river.

And we're looking for
any signs of different life

Anything a little bit
different that might
lead to different resources

- Oh, what do you say we grab
a couple pieces of wood?
- Yep.

All of them down here
would be okay.

You want something with
not too many big branches.

That would be
a solid candidate.

Instead of fighting
across the channel
every time we swim across,

I'm gonna make a tiny,
little mini raft...

All right, watch out.
Watch out.

These ponga trees,
I've noticed that it's
a very soft tree,

So it should float all right.

We'll just tie
three pieces together,

We'll be able to
put our gear on

And push our gear
in front of us as we swim.

oh, yeah. No big deal.

Weighs about one of dan.

All right, that's all I need
to do for that part.

Good to go.

We'll go around here.

anytime I'm
walking through this water,

I'm just picturing myself
kicking a caiman
right in the face

And paying
the consequences for it.

But even in addition to that
there's giant electric eels
in here,

There are piranha,
giant anaconda.

I never thought ever
in my life that I would

Hate getting in the water
as much as I do here.

Thanks a lot.

it's truly
a world of animals out here

We can see capybara,
we can see caiman,

We can see birds, snakes,
you name it.

If it's out there,
we might be able to find it.

keep your eyes peeled
for snakes in here, guys.

it's the territory.

let's just take
a look around.

Let's go look for some tracks,
some indicators of...

- check out
the monkeys, guys.
- ...Some stuff around.

- Yup.
- All right.

oh, cute little tyler.

You guys know
where there's some fruit?

Looks like we've got
a little bit of
water down here, guys.

Little bit of a creek.

I think there's some
footprints over here, too.

Yeah, for sure.
There's a lot.

that's definitely
capybara track right there.

You see the webbed feet?

- Right there.
- oh, yeah.

- That's pretty fresh.
- Yeah, right there.

Look at that, where's it's
come out of the water,

Come up this way.

Following the little stream
and seeing a bunch
of capybara footprints,

Which is promising to me.

That's something
we haven't seen yet.

And a capybara, these thing
are in and out of the water

They have this nice fatty
oily layer in their skin.

So, if we were to
take one of those down

And could preserve
the meat,

That would be a huge
protein score for us.

- I would say that one
looks like today.
- Yeah.

So at least
where there's a track,

There has been a capybara.

So if that's the case,
you know,

This may be
a spot that it likes

And a potential spot
for success.

Okay, let's keep pushing up
the stream a little bit
and see.

- See what else we can see.
- Okay.

hopefully, closing
some of the holes on this ne

Will give us the opportunit
to actually keep the fish
in the net this time, so

That's what team trish and jen
are doing.

We're moving forward.

Let's go trap some fish.

Fishy!

- All right.
- Let's get it.

I am going up on pond

To see if I can
flush down the fish

Down into the direction where
jen's waiting with the net.

- All right,
I'm gonna start walking.
- Okay.

All right, jen.
They're moving your way.

Cool. Get into the net, bitch.

There's a huge one
coming my way.

Get it, jen. You're huntin'.

keep going, girl.

Come on.

Jen, are you gettin' 'em?

- Put him in the bag.
- I have him!

Get it in the bag!

Get him in the bag.

Jen, get him in the bag!

- Get him in the bag, jen.
- He went through the net.

Don't let him through.
Put the net back.

No. He's through the net.

Put the net back!

God damn it.

Put him in the bag fast
next time.

- There's gonna be
another one.
- Sorry.

Figure it out.
Don't be sorry.

that was
a big fish.

damn it...

It's in the net still!

Oh, you got him?

- the whole time.
- Whoo!

You're *bleep* blond.

Success!

We got a fish, baby!

It's a huge team effort to,
um, get a fish this way

And it was successful.

Get him in that bag!

So, it's gonna feel so good
to eat this fish tonight.

Outsmarting the fish.
Primal hunting in the amazon.

We are making it to 40.

Suck it, amazon!

Jen, I am so happy right now.

- Like, I'm legit
the happiest...
- it was amazing.

- That was the best!
- It was perfection.

He's flopping
in my bag.

the more you're out here,

The more you're able to
think and evolve

And become feral

And it feels triumphant
and innovative

And victory.

So I'm proud of us.
I'm proud of our achievements

And our accomplishments

And, um, our growth.

And I'm not proud
of this hair

Because it is just
out of control.

so proud of us.

that's how you hunt fish.

- Ready to head down
to the eastern trail?
- Yeah.

Absolutely.
We will get it done.

It is about a 40-minute walk
to the fishing holes.

So hopefully we'll come back
with an electric eel
or a caiman today.

- Come back with something.
- bags full of stuff.

amen to that.

all right.

as a hunter and
a trapper,
I have to expand my horizons

If I don't find my quarry,

I have to keep going
till I do find it.

This is about them
making 60 days.

I'm just here to help.
So I'm in the backseat,

Or basically the
harley-davidson sidecar,
drinking a beer,

Going, "okay,
where we goin' now?"
with the sunglasses on,

Because this is their journe

I think, uh...

I'm gonna finish
what I started yesterday.

- okay.
- I'm gonna push further up this trail

- And see if I can find us
some hunting grounds.
- Do it up.

Sending prayers and love
and luck your way, buddy.

- Thanks.
- All right.

I pray ej has
a wonderful day.

Me too.

My honey hole, baby.

Come on, t.

Let's get a bigger fish
than we did the other day.

Checking for tracks.

Eels like these little
lagoons/waterways like this
to hide.

A lot of times, they'll
make their homes in here

And make a hole
underneath all this stuff.

It's just a matter of time.

Gotta keep doing this coaxing.

Scoutin' around
for about an hour.

Hittin' up a game trail
heading, uh, basically east.

Oh! An electric eel.

This is a technique
I learned in colombia
for bringing in electric eels,

Where jeff and I were pretty
successful at gettin' them.

And they hear this noise
and they like to
come and investigate.

I'm gonna get him when
he comes back over here

If he does.

Okay, here it comes.

Oh, boy, I'm about
to get shocked.

yeah!

oh, boy, I'm about
to get shocked.

I got him.

all right.

The eel's
underneath the mud.

He's gone deep
into the under leaves

And it's very murky.

I know I hit him.

Now I can't even see him.

Yeah. There he is.

Damn. Got away.

That's the jungle for ya.

Man, what a fight today!

I feel alive!

I did battle today.
I feel like a warrior.

I gave a noble fight

With one of the most
dangerous animals
that's in the amazon.

Damn it.
That'd be a good meal.

just keep your eyes peeled.

Hmm.

I don't see anything.

The thing that's on
my bucket list

That's been huge since
a little kid,

To come down here
and actually hunt
some of the large mammals,

Like a capybara.

But those things are
no easy task.

There's also
nocturnal animals.

There's a reason that
hunting on these challenges

Is the absolute most
difficult thing you can do.

Oh, it's starting to open up
into some decent-size
water up here.

The stream seems very low.

totally undisturbed.

I don't see many fish.

Who knows?
If we find a little creek,

Which doesn't seem to have
much life in it at all,

But I'm feeling good.

I just wanna keep continuin
to find protein

And push myself
to see where my limit is.

You think there might be
fish under the log?

We'll see.

Where... where are they?

hey!

oh.

Get in there.

- Way to go, dan.
- Good job.

All right.
Better than nothing.

- Yeah.
- I'd say two for two.

Two is skill. One is luck.

- Oh.
- hey, look at that!

It's not just luck.

- Dan's fishing hole.
- Hey!

can he get the trifecta?
Go for the hat trick?

I'm pulling in
fish after fish.

Got it.

dan's fishing show.

He's a little tiny guy.

Not too sizable, but, man,
quantity works, too.

Yeah, boy.

It's nice to be able
to provide these
protein scores for my team.

Let's go home and cook
some fish up, huh?

- sounds good to me.
- sounds good.

first dinner
of jen and trish.

whoo! Yeah, girl.

We are partaking
in a delicious fish boil.

This is success.

The team of two,
jen and trish.

How is it, trish?

It is delicious.
And it is perfect.

And it's exactly
what we needed.

I'm happy to be here with je
jen and I are very similar,

And I feel like jen and I's
vibe together will really
stimulate this last push.

I know we're gonna
do great things.

ohh, no.

Sounds like a storm's brewing.

It has been thundering,
getting stronger and stronger
for a couple hours now,

And it's not leaking in.

But, uh, we'll see
how the next couple hours go.

It's raining
in the rainforest.

This is so...

ugh, why is it so wet?

How you feeling, trish?

not sure if you can see
the rain out there,
but it is pouring.

this is the most
violent storm we've endured
this entire challenge.

Hopefully it's about
to move soon.

this storm keeps going
and going and going.

that was the biggest
storm we've had here.

- wasn't it?
- I know.

didn't really
get much sleep.

lemme just see
if I see anything
in the water.

ponds are getting
higher and higher.

Especially after last night.

after a rainstorm

Land animals are
more likely to seek shelter

While aquatic animals are
known to retreat to deeper
levels of ponds and rivers,

Making it more difficult
to fish and hunt.

Ponds are full. They're extra
full, they're extra high.

There's more places
for the fish to go and hide.

Yeah.

It's a bummer.

Mmm-hmm.

the pond is too full.

We had a really big rainstor
last night.

The trap we set
is now flooded,

So we'd have to rebuild
that whole
damming system again.

And, um, quite honestly,
we just don't have
the energy for it.

what do you think we do today?
Maybe we go back to the, the spot

Where we inserted
and check out those...

We could.

If we could find something
that gives us
a little bit of sugars...

- Mmm-hmm.
- ...To, like, get us through
this last push,

Like, I think getting
that extra little boost,

- I think that'll
help out a lot.
- Yeah. Yeah.

trish and I decide
to take a walk down
by our insertion point.

We ventured a little bit awa
from camp, but not that far

And so we're really
looking for an entirely
different area.

should we go this way
or this way?

this way.

choosing to make
this trek on such little fuel
and energy is a risk.

But the reward could be huge

And we just need another
source of food in this
last push to extraction.

- what'd you, cross over this log?
- - yeah.

It was actually pretty easy
to walk up these,
um, roots right here.

They're like steps, almost.

yeah.
Says the gymnast.

A little slow today.
Low on energy.

Oh, my god.

It's a long time to be
out here with meager rations

So our bodies are, they're,
uh, they're showing the wear.

At least, mine is.

That thing with the leaves
looks different
than what I've seen.

And there's something
hanging on it.

Look at this.

What the hell is this?
Look at this.

What are these?

The big leaves reminded me of,
like, a watermelon.

They look like tomatoes.

I don't even know
if I should pick one.

Ugh, look at it.

lot of fire ants on 'em.

yeah, fire ants
guarding them.

and they're
extremely dusty.

ow! Holy *bleep*.

Whatever it is, the ants
are guarding it a lot.

known locally
as a jungle tomato,

The cocona fruit is high
in sugar, and provides
over 30 calories each.

- just watch where it lands.
- - they're so strange.

They have this, like,
dust on them.

All right, let's get out
of this area, 'cause
I am getting lit up.

We've got five of 'em.
We can just
kinda test 'em out,

See how our bodies react
and see if the flavor's okay.

Um, maybe this is something
that we could eat.

You know, it's not too far
from our shelter.

Give it the old survival test.

All right. Trish is wiping off
the new fruit we just found.

It was not easy to get these
jungle tomatoes
from the vines.

inside, it's green with seeds.
Looks like a regular small tomato.

I hope this tastes good.

Does it seem ripe, or no?

You trying it?

let's just try that.

It's really, like,
bitter, I guess.

I mean, you're just, like,
eating sour seeds.

Yeah.

I'm just happy
the sun's out. This is huge

The rain went on last night
all night long,

And I'm super tired,
but I'm gonna push through it.

Steven and ej are fishing,

And I need to boil some wate
before the boys come home.

Feels good to have
some part of me saying,

Wow, I don't have to be
the provider right now.

It's the first time
somebody's taken care of me

All right,
let's get this going.

son of a...

the amazon has been tou
these two weeks on me.

I wanna do my part and put,
uh, meat in the pot
for the team.

So I'm just trying to see
what's out here,

And if I get a chance to ge
something, I'm gonna get it

I just feel like I walked
up on top of a ridge.

Higher ground.

Different trees.
Little bit more open.

Could be to my advantage.

Gonna start following this
ridge line along
a little bit further.

Look at this.

Look at this water.

Now, that's
worth checking out.

Trying to see if I can get
some electric eels
to come into here.

Looks like someone else
was here before me.

Clearly, someone else
has been here before.

I'd like to think it was
whoever was
at the camp we're at.

So I don't know if others
have journeyed this far.

And there's some other path
to other camps
or other people.

I'm not sure.

I'm not the most skillful
fisherman on the planet,
or the luckiest.

But, you know,
I came out here to hunt,

And I see a big body of water
like this,

I'm not gonna pass that up.
I mean, these things are jus

Dancing on the water,
just begging to get in my ba

So I am going to try my luck

Hey, already hit my bait.

There we go. There we go.

Oh! Dang it.

I'm ej snyder.

You know, I'm the godfather
of this challenge, you know?

And I'm out here,
and I wanna, you know,
lend my skills to help.

Yeah.

There we go.

I need a victory. I need
these creatures to stop
slipping through my grasp.

Yes! No, you don't go
to the old river today.

No. No. No. No, mr. Wolf fish,
you stay right there.

Who's a fisherman now?

That's what I'm talking about.

Victory!

This one
didn't get away today.

Now, I can help feed my team.

And that's a dang good sized
wolf fish.

I needed this.
I needed this pretty bad.

Guess we have gulpers.

I think it's noon,
and it's hot.

It's fishing, not catching.

And, um, fishing
is a very patient sport.

And, uh, you know, you just
gotta roll with the punches.

I'm gonna start heading back.

This isn't easy. And
like I, I've said this
a million times,

If it was easy, I wouldn't
be here, anyway.

The challenge
is what drives me.

And, um, it makes the win
that much sweeter.

Frog. See him?
Looks like a rock.

Oh, my god.

Got myself a big old bullfrog.

Look at that guy.

That crazy?

Frickin' monster.

Gotta wash my hands.
My hands are tingling.

Don't know what kinda weird
amazon stuff he has on him.

I'm gonna get him
with this stick, though.

I'm super thankful
to the rainforest
for providing us food.

Every bit of protein
we get into our system
helps our brain,

Helps our muscles,
and helps our energy levels

To be able to go out
and do more stuff.

- steven.
- ej!

Check it out.
Look at this bounty.

Look at the size
of that thing.

look at the size
of that big guy.

Look at that frog.
That's awesome.

You got room for one more?

Hell, yeah, dude.

I love ej to death,
because he never stops.

And he always works hard.

He always thinks
he's not giving enough,

But he gives
more than he knows.

And it's visible
and it's there,

And his constant love
and hard work is, is apparent.

- I mean, I did battle.
- Yeah.

The old warrior's back.

Hell, yeah!

Oh, my god. Anteater.

- What?
- Anteater.

-Oh, *bleep*.
Are we gonna get it?
-We're gonna try.

You see it?

Sitting right there now.

on the vine.

Oh, I see him now.

He's big.

you got it.

- you got it.
- - matt, you tell us what you need from us.

you got it.

Oh, that's a good shot.

It's right in his chest, man.

It's coming down. Got him.

Oh, dude!

- Oh, look at that.
- Wow.

That is a big creature.

- let's see him.
- yeah, that's nice.

holy hell.

Anteater, amazon style.

I remember catching
my anteater earlier on in this
challenge, and it was so good.

Matt shoots this anteater
exactly
where he was aiming,

From 35 meters,
got a perfect kill shot.

It's absolutely insane.

Wow. He's big.

This is another huge source
of protein, a third
big win in two days,

Which, um, is incredible
out in this environment

Where things are already
pretty sparse.

Thank you, buddy.

For all that you've
done for us.

this anteater?
That's not my anteater.

This is the team's anteater

But most importantly,
it's the food that they need,

And I know they need,
because I've been
to that point.

With these challenges,
you can be tired,
you can be bugbit.

But sometimes,
you don't have to be hungry.

Good job, man.

- good idea.
- well played.

It's another good meal.

oh, my gosh!

You wanna come out
and see the bounty, babe?

Uh, lemme see it, rock star.

- Check it out.
- Oh, my gosh.

- Look at this.
- I'm so proud of you!

look at that.

You've got bullfrog legs.

I got a big old bullfrog
out there.

Ej killed a, ej got a...

- look at that meat!
- ej got a wolf fish.

score!

it's ej's day today.

Ha ha ha. Boy, they were
jumping like crazy.

what? How cool.

I feel blessed
to be a part of this team.

That I can give
and they give back.

And this is about
teamwork out here.

It was a sad situation, the
last group with trish and je

Out here with ej and steve,

It feels so good. I feel like
I'm with my people.

it's getting dark.

Cooking up the last
of our dinner.

We got our big old
bullfrog legs on there.

Pretty excited about that.
Uh, should taste like chicken.

So, if it's anything like
the frog legs back home

It should be
a nice little end cap.

Super stoked, um, to be here
with such a great team.

And eating great food.

All right. We got some
frog legs going on.

Try it out.

Tastes like chicken.

there we go.

yeah, it totally
tastes like chicken.

- 100%
-oh, yeah.

texture
and everything.

We're gonna dig in 'cause
the sun's going down.

So, peace out.

let's get
some breakfast, guys.

I can't wait.

All right.

we have a stew
full of anteater.

We let it simmer
on this pot all night.

Look at this.

It's falling off the bone.

The bones aren't even,
aren't even a thing anymore

how is it?

I'm feeling great toda

I couldn't be feeling better.

I'm astonished
I'm feeling this good

On this challenge this far in.

Technically it's enough
to get to day 40,

But if we want to thrive
out here we'll probably
still need more.

But I'm not thinking
about that at the moment.

Things are going well.
We're on a high today.

Mmm.

That's so tender.

Mmm. That is so tasty.

very beefy.

we're definitely eatin
like kings at the moment.

I know it's giving me energy

And the anteater's got
a little bit more fat on it.

So I've been gorging myself
as much as I can.

Want the tongue?

Is it the tongue or the long...
oh yeah.

- Part of it.
- It's either the tongue
or the penis.

- What do you think?
- Tongue.

- 100%?
- Yep.

You're thinking penis now?

Maybe.

I wish I had
your energy this morning.

You're a boss right now.

you know, we can switch
off when we have energy.

It doesn't matter.
Don't worry about it.

I want to finish
40 strong with you.

Well, strong.
Maybe I'll be crawling.

Unless we find
something big to eat.

- But, um...
-if we get super...
I'll piggyback ride you.

Yeah. You might have to.

I mean, I don't have energy
for, like, a whole day
push is tough,

Like, to be quite honest.

So, I'm not doing much today.

At this point, I'm just tryi
to save what I've got left.

So, I'm not wild about doing

Anything that requires
big energy.

I have some
energy right now.

So I'm thinking I'll look
for some more fruit.

Yeah, if you're cool with that
I'm gonna sit here and mess
around with the fire and...

- That sounds good.
- good luck. Awesome.

- Yep.
- good luck.

so, I'm looking for
the shipova fruit.

We found them a few times
throughout our challenge her

A lot of them by our area
have been rotten.

Um, but we did
find them another time
on an adventure walk.

So, um, if I can find some,

Today's the day
that we need them most.

We could really use some
new resources for food.

I'm just kind of
exploring the area,
trying to find new spots.

Because if you get
one meal a day out here,
that's fantastic.

If you get a meal tomorrow?

You know what?
That's even better.

And it looks like I just
found a tree with a ton
of them on the ground.

There should be some good ones

That we should
be able to crack into.

Honestly, it feels so good
find these right now.

There's so many good ones.

By us they're
all rotten.

I'm going to
take back this haul.

I have quite a good
bunch in my bag.

Um, so, I'm going to
take these back to trish.

Great find today.

there we go.
There's your heart.

oh, yeah. Yep.

I can boil a couple
snakes today.

Every animal I ever harvest,

It's always
a tradition of mine

To harvest the heart
to, kind of, honor
the spirit of the animal.

So, thank you mr. Anteater.

Cheers? It's good
for all three of us.

That's a nice bit.

a lot less
weird than I expected.

you haven't
eaten the heart of your
prey too much, dan?

Not that often.

I mean, I'll tell you what.
You guys have a lot of energy

And a lot of strength left
for being almost 40 days in.

I know. We're
standing here eating a stew.

I'm feeling good.
Feeling strong.

I love having
the three of us working
together as a team.

We definitely have
complementary skill sets.

There's no egos out here.

We're just learning from eac
other. And it's just a reall

Organic, natural environmen
that allows you

To grow as a survivalist.
And I'm enjoying it a lot.

I wish we were
eating some capybara.

Mmm.

That would...
That would be the next...

- Maybe tomorrow.
- Next step. Next step.

so right now,
dan and waz are
approaching their day 40.

This is a huge milestone.

Right now,
both of them are strong.

Both of them are healthy.

And, most importantly,
they're ambitious.

I've gotten to be, you know,
great friends with

The both of them
in the last 20 days

To where I would
hate to see them go.

You guys mentioned you had
some goals you wanted to

Try to accomplish
before you left, right?

Like, some, like...

Like you had mentioned
you want to have a chance
at a capy barbeque.

-Yeah, I'd definitely...
I'd love that.
-Now...

Would you ever consider
staying longer?

Huh.

longer? How much longer?

We're talking instead of 40,

Would you go
all the way to 60?

60 days, potentially,
is a daunting thought.

Uh.

That's a big leap, 40 to 60.

If you could survive 40,
you could essentially,

If you play it smart,
and you do everything right,

You could go 60.

There's only a handful
of people that have done 60.

Yep, yep.
There's only been eight.

I have no questions in my mind
that they both

Are capable of
making it 60 days.

And push yourself into,
essentially, trying to,

You know, harness that
inner legend that's
in them right now.

The biggest thing for me
in relation to if I stay

Has to be

Not talking to my kids.
Not talking to my girlfriend.

- Oh, yeah.
- Mmm-hmm.

For another three weeks.

Oh, for sure.

That's definitely a con
in relation to, uh, staying
for a bit of extra time.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

it takes a lot
more mental fortitude.

It takes a lot more energy

And brain space and commitme
and planning and

It's a tough thing
for me to reconcile.

This challenge has taken
so many other people already.

It's found quite a few
people's limits already.

It's a hard thing to wrap
your head around

When you've had 40 in your
head this whole time, but...

I mean, if you were to ask me,
like, straight out, like,

No sugar coating,
can you make it 60?

Oh, yes.

I don't think anyone's
ever gone, just,
21 straight to 60.

That is daunting.

Mmm-hmm.

we are, I will say,
getting a lot better at

Finding more hunting areas.

Our skill set's definitely...
It's improving.

Improving on a daily basis.
We're learning.

There's so much that these
challenges have to offer

If you're willing to look
through the misery
for a little bit.

And look through the pain.

A few times over the last few
days it's popped into my head.

- Like, "why am I leaving?"
- mmm-hmm.

Like, survival is about,
and what I'm doing is about

-How far can I push myself?
What can I lean about myself?
-Yeah.

There's just too many
things that I'll regret
if I walk away.

Now, look, I mean it.
I can't say no.

- I've still got some in the tank, you know?
- - that's two months.

- yeah, but...
- That's crazy.

I've still got
some in the tank.

Why not use it?
You know? So...

The last thing
I ever want is regret.

- Yeah.
- that's true.

Um, hard to say,
but I'm gonna go 60.

- I'm gonna do it.
- Nice.

- Nice. Good job.
- I'm glad I'm
here with you guys.

I couldn't even imagine what
I could do in 20 more days.

I come bearing gifts.

what you got?

So, I found a big tree.

I got, um, a bunch of these.

- Then we can cut into them
and try them out.
- They look amazing.

- Okay. Heck yeah.
- yeah.

- Now, start.
- - oh, you handing me back one?

- Thank you.
- Sure.

It's the slimiest thing
I've ever eaten.

Really not eating anything.

You're just kind of
sucking the juice out of it.

ugh.

The fruit's disgusting,
doesn't really taste good.

It's so bad.
I don't really like them.
Nasty as hell.

The chapaya fruit,
pretty interesting texture,

Kind of reminds me of eating,
like, corn on the cob
or something,

Where you get all that stuff
stuck in your teeth,

But out in the amazon,
when you're starving,
this *bleep* is worth it.

Mmm, they're so delicious
I want two.

did you mean that?

No, yuck.

tell me about the pond
we're going to.

I'm really excited about it.

I'd rather you be
surprised when you see it.

you're gonna
surprise me?

When you see this place,
you're gonna...
It's gonna be worth it.

Today I'm taking the team
down to what I call
tarzan's swimming hole.

It's what I found
the day prior when I was
messing around.

When you get there the fish
dance on top of the water
to welcome you.

All right, we'll lead
out to the, uh normal spot.

- The spot and you take
me from there?
- I'll take you from there.

Sounds like a frickin' plan,
bruh.

Into the jungle we go.

I wanna get some food
on the table for my team,

Hopefully I can get my shot
at the electric eel again.

It's a long walk,
about 40, 45 minutes
to get there one way.

So that's an hour and a half
of walking every day.

Probably a good two
and a half miles.

And we're putting
calories out to get there
and get back.

But I still think
it's gonna be a good day.

Be on your toes.

yeah,
totally different environment
over here, open and wide.

I'm going further
than I've ever been
at this location.

But to be able
to expand our horizons
is super important.

welcome.

- oh, my gosh, look at this.
- Welcome to my swimming hole.

beautiful.

this is amazing.

it's massive.

ej, great way to go.

great spot, dude.

- it's a little bit, um, dirtier from the rain.
- - oh, it's big.

Look at 'em.
look at 'em., look at 'em.

look
at them dancing.

- This is just surreal.
- - they're really dancing.

isn't this
a beautiful spot?

It's a beautiful spot, ej,
killer find, bro.

I mean,
you gotta walk a bit further,

But I just couldn't wait
to show you this spot.

yeah,
this is a magical place.

Ej found a magic utopia.

Fish are literally jumping
out of the water,
it's a protein wonderland.

family,
I'll leave you to it.

- good luck, you need
something, you holler.
- thanks. Sure will.

I won't be too far,
maybe 200 meters that way.

okay.

I'm gonna see if I can
call that eel back in.

I'm gonna go recheck
that same spot.

- whew, just had a big hit.
- - nice.

back to the scene
of the crime.

Let's see if we can
coax in mr. Eel.

This is right where
I saw the eel last time
and missed him.

Fish is good to keep us
sustained day-to-day,
but we need a big kill.

Just need him to show back up.

As fast as he just rolled
up on me yesterday,
he could do it again.

All I can keep
doing is coaxing.

- come on in, yeehaw.
- get him?

- yeah, got one.
- yeah, attagirl.

get him in,
get him in.

two fish, baby.

- Oh, its...
- is that a meat stick?

- that's high five.
- Yeah!

The other day, this water,
you could see right down
to the bottom.

But now with the rain,
it's all murky.

I'm trying to focus
in on this zone,

I really wanna tap
into the environment here.

I want mother amazon
to just kind of connect
with me.

They're better fisherman
than I am, I'll let them
have at it.

oh, my gosh.
Yeah, steven.

yeah, he's a fatty.

got one.

I know I'm a little
skinny right now,

But food's not gonna
just land on your plate,

You gotta work
for it out here.

double tap.

having somebody
here that's skilled
and really good at it

Is a huge asset
and it takes a lot of pressure
off me as well.

ej called it, brother.

I'm gonna head back,
there's nothing going on here.

See what's going on
with my partners,

Check in with them,
I've been gone a while
and just get out of this area.

Hey, guys.

Ej! How was it?

Aw, man, I was there
a while in my spot,

But, you know, that's
why they call it hunting
not bagging.

Yeah, well I call it, uh,
catching not fishing,

'cause look what me
and amber did.

boom!

That's my partners.

Boom, we got seven fish.

- nice size.
- Seven fish.

- amazing.
- - you, finding the hunting hole.

you did it, ej,
I'm so proud of you.

you might not be
the luckiest fisherman,

But I tell you what,
you know where to find them,
that's for damn sure.

amber and steven
got a string of fish

And just to see their smiles
was amazing.

thank you,
amazon!

how you feeling, trish

Let's go on a fruit walk,
like, let's try
those fruits again.

I gotta sit, jen.

I'm feeling like I don't have
enough gas in the tank
to go exploring or anything.

The old lady needs five.

I just feel really weak
and in poor condition.

Hopefully, my energy makes I
all the way to the end.

Jen seems to be pretty
good and energized,

But, you know, hey,
she's younger than me,
so, uh, more power to her.

Like we have to do something
to get food.

unless there's, like,
a miracle chicken
that walks by and I grab it.

But I'm not gonna go
venturing out,

Because I don't have
enough energy to do that.

A month ago I did,
three weeks ago I did,
two weeks ago I did.

Today, sure don't.

it's just hard,
'cause I feel like

I'm gonna have to do
98% of the work, um,

To get us through six days.

That's just a lot for one
person to do for two people

While six days away extraction
sounds so close,

It's actually really far,
if you're just laying
in your shelter.

Honestly, I am worried
that she can make it to 40
I don't know.

are you guys gonna
wanna finish the water
so I can get another pot?

yeah.

ooh, it's hot
in that shelter.

yeah, it is.

here, I don't
wanna hit you.

it's day 35
and we have full bellies.

This is the best I've ever
felt on a challenge

And I'm making it to day 60,
because I believe in myself

And blessed to be
with these amazing
survivalists

And to be able
to show my skill

And bring something
to the table too,

So we're a great trio
and I just look forward to us
kicking 60 days, baby.

I'm gonna go boil some water.

Oh, my gosh, what is that?

Steven, I just saw
this big-ass spider.

Follow me.

come here.

yeah,
it's right here,
look he's right there.

oh, my god,
look at the size
of that tarantula.

I've never seen
a tarantula out here,
brother.

what do you think,
steven?

look,
this is my hand.

I ain't got no baby hands.

- damn, it's huge.
- - it's as big as my hand.

Weren't you sad
I hate spiders so much?

um, we were passing
the tarantula...

Nope, nope, nope, nope.
Gonna make sure
he goes that way.

See how he put up his abdomen?

- oh, my god.
- - that's his main defensive maneuver.

that is
the largest spider-
I saw them!

- Yeah.
- oh, my gosh.

wrong way, wrong way,
wrong way, brother.

Dude, other direction, please.

This thing is walking
towards camp.

I don't wanna wake up
and see this thing
on my mosquito net,

Um, that's like a horror movie
waiting to happen in my mind.

Just turn around,
just go the other way.

he's headed
towards something.

- oh, god!
- Oh, my god!

- careful.
- - oh, my god, look at this, amber.

Oh, my god,
look at this thing!

oh, steven,
the spider, this is hilarious.

Oh, no.

flick it, flick it!

I really feel
like with steven,
we're really vibing great.

I love it, I am
at the right place,
I am home with my brothers.

And I am enjoying every
damn day of this.

Don't you want a spider snack,
steven?

he can't get it
off the stick.

oh, my god.

Stay over there, bro.

that was
hilarious, brother.

Whew!

- Dude.
- - he's running at you, he's running at you!

Kidding.

You cried wolf.

Oh, my god.

this is, um,
some, uh,
really nice firewood.

You already
through it?

All the way through.

Haven't you seen the knives?

now that
I'm going for 60 days,

I'm personally just gonna keep
doing what I've been doing.

It's been working
for me so far.

I've been getting a lot
of knowledge

And experience out of it.

So I'm just gonna keep
pushing the same way

And, uh, gonna finish
the way that we started.

I've been with dan
since, uh, day 11.

So to have him commit
to those extra 20 days,

I really like that he made
that decision as well.

All right, guys.

I'm just gonna head down,

I think the shore that
we haven't looked at
is just down here.

I wanna see also
if there's any catfish holes,

- In the mud as well.
- yep.

So I'm gonna go check
that out real quick.

all right.

stay within earshot.

alright,
I'll be right here.

there are some
areas of this river

That have mud banks
and clay banks.

Sometimes the catfish,
uh, make holes in there

And you can get catfish
out of those holes

Which would be massive for us.

any of these
spots can produce
potentially something.

guys, snake,
snake, snake!

It's an anaconda.

hey, hold on
to it, buddy.

- Hold on.
- ow.

got it, baby.

Yeah.

Jess, right here, right here.
Get it, get it.

I have it with my hand.

Don't let him through.

the xls
or xl success metric

Weighs each group's collecti
skills and survival status

To determine a likely
percentage

Of reaching their 40
and 60 day goals.

After struggling to provide
in amber's absence...

fish aren't biting.

*bleep*

...Trish and jen'
fish trap snared their
first small win.

It's in the net still!

Suck it, amazon.

but with
resources drying up...

it's so bad.

nasty has hell.

...Precious
strength is rapidly
spiraling down.

I don't know.

Honestly I am worried that
she can make it to 40.

still five days
from extraction,

Their chance of completing
the challenge together

Falls from 35% to 21%.

What's up guys?

Oh, my god.

after joining up
with steven and ej...

It feels so good, I feel like
I'm with my people.

...Amber's
fishing skills

Made an immediate
contribution.

Boom.

Damn, look at these
fat boys she got.

Wow.

and while ej's
quest for big game continue

damn, got away.

his discovery
of a distant water hole...

oh, my gosh,
look at this.

Welcome to my swimming hole.

...Has kept
the fish supply flowing.

- Cheers.
- Double tap.

ej called it, brother.

steven
and amber receive
a new combined team xls.

And their chance of reachin
day 60 is set at 65%.

Led by matt's legendary bow.

we have
a stew full of anteater.

...Dan and waz
have day 40 well in sight.

I'm feeling good,
feeling strong.

but now, have
answered the challenge...

Instead of 40, would you
go all the way to 60?

...To take it
to the next level.

That's a big leap,
40 to 60.

I still got some
in the tank, you know?

That's two months.

recalculated fro
a 40 to a 60 day challenge

They're given a team xl
success rating of 38%.

stay within earshot.

but nothing
is guaranteed in the amazon

snake, snake, snake!

- hold on to it.
- it's an anaconda.

- hold on.
- ow!

snake, snake, snake!

hold on to it.

We're coming.

- anaconda?
- yeah, look at this.

Geez I got it, boys, I got it.

Got it?

I've got its head, I've got
its head, I've got its head.

Dude.

- Look at this thing.
- you got a hold of him?

oh, my god.

oh, dude.

he was just sitting
here and went for the water.

wow,
look at the size of it.

Look at this.

- Oh, he's strong.
- It's huge.

Dude, he is strong.

Dude, he was just sitting
right there by the log.

Homie just jumped on him.

Nice spot, bud.

Oh, look at this muscle.

God, that's a gorgeous snake.

get to see his teeth?

yeah,
they're backward facing,

Look at that, rows of it.

I'll see if I can get
it to open its mouth.

it's seems like
it's constricted.

These things
are absolutely incredible.

By far the biggest snake
I've ever seen in the wild.

gotta be 12-feet, right?

It's 12 but...

have we
fully stretched it?

If we fully stretched
him he'll be able
to get even longer.

This snake is as big around
as most person's thighs.

This thing's 80 pounds.

It's got fat on it too.

Oh, yeah, you know
it's fatty.

You know, that's
a lot of calories.

80 pounds of meat.

I've eaten plenty
of snake in my time.

Lots of different types
but I've never eaten anaconda.

But I know the locals
around here

They sort of see
the anaconda

As a religious symbol

Or as a, like, a symbol
of nature

As a symbol of the amazon.

I gotta be honest
with you though, guys.

Look, it's a lot of meat

And in a survival situation

This is a hard thing
to put down, you know,

But obviously we don't
want to kill things

We don't need to kill.

We've got a lot of calories
to get through.

We're gonna be gorging
ourselves for a few days.

I'm a big believer you gotta
work with the wilderness,

Work with the jungle
in order to survive it.

And this is like a spirit
animal right here.

And, uh, this is a good omen.

All right, guys, you guys
good to get out of the way?

I am.

we know the thing
would be delicious.

But we also know we
are meat rich at this moment

we are meat rich.

watch our, waz.

That's what I meant
about going rogue.

The amazon people
believe this animal
has got magic powers

And has actually crafted
many of the amazon basin.

You know, even though

It makes the stomach
growl a bit

It fills the heart
and the soul

To watch an anaconda
go unharmed

Back into the wild.

One of the most
beautiful moments

On a naked and afraid
challenge.

See you, buddy.

see you, buddy.

We came out here trying
to make this place our home.

Not fight it, not conquer it.

And so far
it's treated us well.

- ooh.
- - beautiful, beautiful creature.

thanks, buddy.

we'll let him
slither back into the amazon.

that's beautiful.

That's a beautiful moment,
wow, right there.

Trish, how you doing?

I'm pretty tired.

how'd you sleep?

slept like crap.

What are you thinking
for today?

laying here.

I'm feeling
pretty out of gas.

I have enough energy
to sit here.

I have enough energy
to go pee.

That's all trish has
in the tank right now.

So I'm gonna get
dry palm and small sticks.

Um, we probably have
one more night of these logs.

That's why I think I'm gonna
be on firewood right away

Just so that we have
a stash through the night.

yeah.

trish is not
doing well today.

She's just so hungry
and so malnourished.

Um, but she's been
a great partner

To me this whole time.

It's just really hard
to give her the energy,

Um, that she needs.

jen is an enigma.

Somehow she has these
bursts of energy

And she doesn't feel
the hunger

The way I feel it.

Everything's difficult,
every task is hard.

My body is... It's failing.

how do you feel
about extraction?

couldn't come
soon enough.

Are you gonna
be able to do it?

I'm gonna need some food

If I'm gonna do anything.

Come day 40, if I haven't
gotten any food or anything,

Like, there's no *bleep* way.

I wanna leave on 40 but...

Yeah but you're not
doing anything

Dude, I can't *bleep*
do anything.

Well then how do we finish
a *bleep* challenge

If we can't do anything?

- those...
- those fish do not...

...Jungle tomatoes
are not enough,
worth anything.

I have my own
personal energy

But like I need
people energy.

I love you, trish
but you're sitting here.

Okay, I feel like you're gonna
sit here for days.

I wanna finish with you

But I also just need energy.

I'm sorry jen,
I mean, I want to

But, you know, I...

like, I don't understand

How we're supposed to do
this extraction if, like...

I don't wanna do this
by myself.
