Naked and Afraid XL (2015–…): Season 8, Episode 8 - You Left Us to Rot - full transcript

looks like we got
a little bit of water
down here, guys.

some bait. Beautiful.

- look, something happened over here, you see.
- - hmm?

I just watch something
swim and bury itself.

oh, really?

I could see him.

- you could see him in the water?
- Yeah.

- you're closer to it than me, so behind you.
- - it's right there.

So, still have
your same stance

And then do the fold
to your anchor point
and everything,

Just like you would normally.



- Did I get it?
- oh, that could be good.

- I think you got him.
-no, he's right there.
You spined him. I see it.

- you're stuck right there, buddy.
- - yeah, boy.

- I knew you had it in you.
- so excited.

Thank you.

- heck, yeah. Nice job.
- Yeah, it's my first
bow fishing.

you know, I am
definitely a proud teacher

And honored to be a part
of dan's growth out here
to become a hunter.

- That's a good shot.
- Look at that action.

It's a good shot.

I'm feeling more
and more confident

With my bow hunting skills
every day.

I'm hoping to put them
into action a little bit mor
as we keep moving forward.

Gonna need it
if we're pushing 20 more day



let's get home,
cook some fish up, huh?

-Sounds good to me
-sounds good.

five miles to the south...

Trish, how are you doing?
How'd you sleep?

I look like crap.

trish and jen
are three days
from their extraction.

trish, right here.
Right here. Get it.

I have it
with my hand.

but a serious
lack of protein...

- *bleep*
-*bleep*.

Jen, dammit.

...Has trish's strength
in a downward spiral.

Love you, trish.
But you're sitting here. Okay.

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

I don't want
to do this by myself.

We're so close.

I feel like I can make this

But I'm worried about
a partner that can't get up

Trish is just so malnourishe
and she's just sluggish.

So, I don't know
if that's enough
for a med tap,

And I don't want that,
but I don't know.

I know I've been struggling

For the past few days
with energy and stuff,

And I just feel like
three more days of this
is really gonna...

- Suck the life out, yeah.
- ...Be difficult for me.

If we have the energy,
I say we take a little walk

And maybe just like
do one more push

To see if we can find
something to eat.

- Yeah.
- Like something
that's not a fish.

Because extraction,
it's gonna be hard.

it would be great
if we could get one more
food win

Because we're gonna be
taking the raft out.

I love the balance
that we have
when we work together,

But I will seriously do
anything that I can

To make up
for our energy differences.

at least the jungle's
flat pretty much.

If we had to go
up and down hills.
It'd be lights out.

it is very importan
for me to stick with jen
till the end.

I mean, she's had
five partners leave her.

I'm the last and only partne
that has stuck it out
with her.

So, it's really important
for me to be by her side
at the end.

I'd like to take a break
on this tree for a minute.
How about you?

- I'm fine.
- - you're okay with that?

I'm worried for her
because while extraction

Is so close,
we still have three more days.

And it's just gonna muster u
a lot of energy
to continue this challenge.

And I know that
we're building each other u
and we can do it.

It's just really
taxing on our bodies.

my heart
is pumping from that walk.

Like I can feel every beat
in my chest.

Right now, out of gas, man.

I'm digging.

three miles to the north...

You wanna be
a bait leaf holder?

Yeah, of course.

What's up, guys?

Oh, my gosh.

amber's arrival..

Come here. Oh, my god.
I'm so happy.

...Has doubled
the team's fishing success.

Oh. Oh, my god.

- Look at this fish.
- Look at this fat boy she got.

Wow.

but ej's goal
of getting big game
for his partners...

Oh, *bleep* an electric eel.

An eel

...Has proved elusive.

Damn. Yeah, man.

I already
wrapped up the bait.

That's for when
we get down there.

- Oh, no problem.
- And for afterwards.

- you want any more water?
- Yeah, I haven't had any yet.

getting to day 41
is a really important to me

'cause it's the first time
I'll ever have 40 days
in the jungle.

I had a really hard struggles
last year in louisiana

And having to leave
really hurt my heart.

So, I'm glad to be given
the opportunity
to have my redemption.

And this is it.

I'm gonna push my limits
every day with these guys.

All right, team,
I'm gonna head south

And hopefully
bag us something.

you would. Good luck.

I know you will, brother.

You guys just have a good...
Be safe.

- Have a good day out there at the honey hole.
- - we will, buddy.

Hopefully I can have us
something other than fish
to eat tonight.

- But...
- yeah.

I always pray you guys
catch lots of fish.

Today, we're gonna do
some split ops.

My partners
who are great fishermen

Are gonna go down
to the honey hole
and let them do their thing

I'm gonna go out
there hunting.

And whenever I have a chance
to get at,

If it's a snake and eel,
caiman, I'm killing it.

I'm here for my friends
and helping them,

Getting to their goals of 60

- Perfect.
- fish time?

Fish time.

It's a pretty good trek
to come out to this pond.

But with the amount of prote
that we're pulling out of it

It's totally worth the trek.

- Oop, ants.
- ouch.

They're over taking the trip.

sixty days
is a long time.

We're gonna need every calor
and every source of food

And grocery
we can to get there.

hoo! Hoo-ho.

I can't believe
I fell all the way down.

- Thanks, brother.
- You're welcome.

look at this.

Look at this.

nice.

A little pond.

maybe
there's some fish in here.

yeah.

- I don't see anything yet.
- - yeah.

really hungry.

Sometimes it kind
of everything kicks up,
though,

So just be really slow
on each foot step.

yeah.

it's getting real muddy.
It's hard to see anything now.

Not really seeing anything
surfacing,

But we're still feeling,
you know, within the mud

'cause things do creep
below the mud.

- Can you see that?
- - yeah, but it could be for you.

Trish, come on.

- Come on.
- I see something
moving up there.

- huh?
- Just be really, really slow.

I think there's a couple
of small caiman.

- Careful.
- They got...

Right in front of you.

I just don't know
if I'm gonna be able to.

- grab it.
- I'm gonna grab him.

- Grab it.
- Okay

- Want the net?
- I got him.

Can you take my knife, please?

Hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

-There's two. Grab it.
-I think I'm gonna grab him.
I'm gonna grab him.

grab it.
You got it. You got it.

- Whoa.
- Get it, girl.

You got him. You got him.
You got him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Oh, yeah, buddy.
- Dude.

- All right.
- It is a little booty shaking.

Don't hug me
with his mouth open.

Honestly, this means
so much right now,

We have three days
till extraction,

And we're gonna have food
in our bellies.

And this gives me
so much confidence

That we are gonna finish
as a team

And we are gonna finish
this challenge together.

All right. Cutting it off.

go down
and then chop her down.

go down and chop
and do it quick
and appreciate his life.

- Thank you so much.
- Make it swift and fast
so he doesn't suffer.

There you go. All right.

Excellent execution, jen.

Trish.

Oh.

The warrior blood.

All right. Thank you, buddy.

go for it.

Hell.

trish, we're not eating
jungle tomatoes tonight.

Feeling a little better.
A little more energized.

I'm proud of our team
making a win like this.

And it's exactly what we nee
to get to extraction.

every win
that we have had
has been a we.

Look at that.
Is that the like the main...

This win, this proud moment
with my teammate

Just lets me know that
we can do it.

We're definitely gonna do it

Just feels really,
really good.

I'm gonna go get some firewood
so that we can stoke this fire
and cook that up.

- Get it ready.
- Woo-hoo!

All right. The honey hole.

We made it.

ej wants to go out
and check for mammals

And things that are on land
and not on the water.

And, you know,
that's important

Because we got to access
all of our resources out here.

So, I hope he has good luck.

Good thing is
what we have right here
is sustainable

And it producing constantly

So, while he does that,
we will be able to put food
on the table.

Yay, fish time.

Boom!

First catch, baby.

- Atta girl.
- Getting it.

Okay.

Okay.

Split operations
when you're a small group
always makes sense

'cause you can cover
more ground,
maybe have more opportunities.

They're better fishermen
than I am.

I'll let them have at it.

But I really need
to get out here and find ou

Where these animals
are all hiding.

Oh *bleep*.

Oh, my god.
That is a big, nasty snake.

among the most
dangerous snakes in the worl

A few drops of venom
from the fer-de-lance

Can be fatal to humans.

These things are deadly.

Of everything in this jungl
that'll mess you up the wors

That's it.

I wonder how he likes
getting poisoned.

I'll put some poison
on a dart.

I'm gonna try some.

I've never gotten a snake
this way before.

So, so excited, so anxious.

Try and poison him
with a dart.

Let's see how good my aim is.

All right.

see what he does.

If he's gonna die
or if he's gonna faint.
There he goes.

Oh, he's...
He's, it's hitting him.

Oh, yeah. It's hitting him.

I'm gonna get this guy.
He's a little dizzy.

Go to sleep. Go to sleep.

Make it easy for me.

Yeah, he's dizzy. Whoa.
He's striking at everything.

He doesn't know
what's going on.

It's about how big
your balls are.

All right. Careful.
Yeah. There we go.

All right. Careful. Careful.

Come on. Spin your ass around.

Oh! Where are you going?

Where's your face?

Come on.

You still running?

Where are you going?

Get over here.

Where the hell did he go?

Damn.

Man.

Damn it.

Fricking fertile ants
crawled up underneath
this berm under here.

I can't even get to it.

Damn it.

Came up short
'cause it got away.

What's that telling me, god
what are you telling me?

It's frustrating.

I'm an older guy.

I'm older than I was
when I was first here
eight years ago.

Even though matty wins,
my two partners,

They're on a 60 day
trajectory.

And I came here to help.

Damn it.
Gotta have been a good meal.

- Two oscars, baby.
- nice.

Oh, my good god.

Couple caiman splashes.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

That's exactly what we need.

love for us
to get a caiman together.

If we could all get that,
that's huge.

Let's plan for tomorrow.

we're going caiman, baby.

thanks for cooking, waz.

- how you feeling?
- of course.

Complements to the chef.

Slightly roasted.

Oh, that fish is good.

I think we have to look
at opening up
a few more opportunities

To find some different
protein sources
for a 60 day challenge.

It's a marathon.
It's not a sprint.

So, you need to make sure
that you're keeping enough
stores for the second half.

We need, in general,
a lot of food

To give us the power
to really thrive.

These fish aren't gonna do it.

what I want to do
is get another one
of these horn screamers.

oh.

Right now, there are about
maybe 100 some feet up a tree.

Can't quite see them.

Oh, they then die
laughing then.

nothing funny
about being our dinner.

if there is one thing
we've learned from amber.

- We'll give you this.
- I'll give her that. Yeah.

There's jelly rolls
at the top of the tail.

Those are protruding
chunks of meat.

- They're not these.
- Yeah.

- You want one?
- Yeah.

Oh, I'm so excited.

Let's get this on the fire.

See, look at that huge chunk
like that is a jelly roll

Sticking off that side
of the meat,

That's popping out
of the tail.

- This meat's pretty white, so.
- Yeah.

I mean, I know you like it
extra char though.

Yeah, I like it extra charred.

37th day
we are eating caiman.

- Yeah, baby.
- Thank god.

That was the best part
and that is super charred.

Charred, well-cooked,
smoked and grilled.

You got to really see that.
That's crazy.

First meal in days.

- Cheers.
- Cheers, buddy.

tonight's my night.

I am going to sleep
with a full belly

And I am very excited
about that.

Delicious.

We're eating caiman
in the amazon
naked on the floor.

Me and my best partner ever.

What's up?

This meal is so good,
so appreciated, so needed.

Our bellies fell happy.

I think I'll be ready
for 40 day extraction
after this meal is complete.

Umm-hmm.

I'm gonna go after
that horn screamer.

So, wish me luck. Okay?

All right. Good luck, man.

this morning, I'm waking up, and it's...
It's a good day for a hunt.

The sun is shining
and visibility is good.

At this point, it's become
like a personal challenge
with these birds

Because they go sit
in the tree and make

The loudest sound
in the whole amazon.

Just mocking.

It'll happen. It will happen.

You want to take a big bird
down with a bow?

First, you better get
damn good with the bow.

Second, you better get
damn good at hunting.

But third...

what I want
to accomplish is a feast
for everybody.

A feast now.

Oh, my god.

oh, my god.

I knew I had to get out here,
but holy hell.

This hyacinth floating here,

It's almost like
a death trap to try to...
Try to swim through.

All right.

It's just so hard
to move through.

Ohh.

Yeah, baby.

Look at this.

Savage strikes again.

Absolutely incredible bird.

Horn screamer.

Name for this little,
that little horn

Of cartilage
sticking up there.

Thank you, buddy.

Big day.
I can't wait to get back the
and tell the guys.

They've been hungry,
they've been a little tired

And these boys
are gonna eat some food.

what is it?

yeah, buddy.

Did somebody order
from savage eatery?

yes.

- Thank you!
- Oh, come on in.

- Yes.
- buddy.

oh, the sucker
is massive, too.

Look how frickin'
big this thing is.

It's huge.
He's a big male, huh?

Yeah. Look at these.

Wow, look at these wings.

Look at these claws
they have on the wings.

- These talons.
- Yeah.

Ooh. And they're wild.

So, when I came up,
I had to swim up to him.

He's trying to nail me
with these things,

And I was like,
what is hitting me?

- you got to save that.
- Yeah.

Jesus, that's some
prehistoric stuff.

yeah, it is.

Savage eatery is open.

It's what the horn screamer
looks at all plucked out.

And we are about to eat
a fantastic
horn screamer stew.

We've had it before.

And I'll tell you what,
it is absolutely delicious.

We'll smoke it
for a couple of hours

And then get some flame sear
on the outside and then stew.

Stew it up for a few hours
until done.

This is survival, man.
This is what
we come out here for.

All right,
so, we lightly roasted

And smoked this bird
over the fire.

And what it's gonna do here,
it's gonna have a little bird,

The bird,
a little smoky flavor.

But also, it's a...
It's gonna be going
in the pot, so.

It's gonna just be that
little extra that we needed.

- Got our stuff.
- Yeah.

Saw a big caiman
out there yesterday.

I got one large hook left,
the other one I left
at my other camp.

But we're gonna get
a caiman, guys.

we're gonna kill
something today.

Then we're gonna eat.

It's a mile and a half down
a mile and a half back

Just to the nearest
fishing spot.

That's not sustainable
in my experience.

We need a big meal.

So today we're heading
to get a big caiman.

I need to put good vibes
for that caiman line
and pray over it.

I'm a badass girl.

I'll jump on the back
of the caiman
and rip its head off.

I wrestled a ton
of alligators.

I killed eight large gators
in my life,
hooked seven of them.

And I can tell you what,
I have the skill set.
That's why I'm here.

And that's why I brought it
here to this team.

you want to rig it up?

Sure, I can go out there
and rig it up.

we got a ton of rope,
so I should be okay.

that's a good spot
for you to battle.

it's great spot
'cause it overhangs
right in the middle.

And it's...
We can get in there
and deal with it.

I'm using this
80 pound test line
braided together.

So hopefully this caiman
doesn't rip my line
with their teeth.

This would be a blessing.

Grab the bait
and then we're good to go.

it's like
caiman bait to me.

That looks yummy.
Barbs out, two fish heads.

we got some
really good, bloody gross
armored catfish heads.

We got some oscar heads.

The grosser the better
when it comes to these caiman,
they love that.

steven and amber
are going out there,
putting out our caiman hook.

I'm not liking this tree,
though,

'cause last year
I was out on a tree
just as similar like this.

It broke.
I fell in the water,
I speared my testicles.

oh. Oh, I got speared.

when he breaks that,
makes sure he has plenty
of slack to go swimming.

I know. I'm on it.

here, take this one.
Break it to the size you need.

Oh, okay.

Okay. Let me know
where you're at, babe.

you're good right there.

- right here?
- yeah.

okay. You got it.

- How much is down?
-there's quite a bit.
About six feet.

I'd get, like, 20 feet
or however much we have.

That way he can grab it
and run
and wrap himself up in it.

steven's out there
with the hook,
amber's feeding him

And I'm feeding out line,
making sure we got about
20 some odd feet of slack

And I'm gonna anchor it.

- Trigger set.
- good.

- Good.
- pull it up a little bit.

There you go. A little more.

There you go. Perfect.
All right.

we'll anchored off
back here.

Main tree.

It doesn't matter. Root...

Sure, it's fine.

I don't need direction

I've got 32 gators
that I've taken.

Been down this road.
I know what works.

We're gonna get some down
in this jungle.

I'm seeing
some aggravation
and some tension

With ej and amber.

We're all equals out here.
I don't need a micromanage.

We're all professionals.

We've all done this
time or two.

- Yeah.
- okay.

to come on a challen
for 60 days,

It's incredibly easy
to get frustrated

With anybody out here
in survival mode.

You know, you really have
to pick your battles out here.

trigger mechanism set here.

Perfect height, brother.
I think we crushed it.

We need space
to do battle with him.

Well, we're gonna come up
with a plan if we catch one
for sure.

Yeah. Haul him in. Kill him.
Put him on the plate.

right.
We've got the horn screamer here in the pot.

It's been probably
3 hours cooking.

Well, it's been
2 hours smoking first.

The aroma.
It's just like a turkey.

Oh.

-Wow.
-Delicious.
It's screaming with flavor.

- Oh, my god.
- but, yes.

I have no idea what that is.
I think it's like the top
of the drumstick.

Some sort of deliciousness,
some smoke through it,
some fat through it.

Warm. It's juicy.

yeah.
That smoke penetrated in there good.

I feel happy.
I feel motivated, and I got food in my belly.

We're gonna be filled.
We're gonna have
a calorie reset.

We're gonna feel like
it's two weeks ago.

Oh, man.

Smoky good.

I think I found the perfect y

For one of our first paddles.

Nice.

it should
be long enough.

And I think the y should be
the right size for a paddle,
I hope.

tomorrow
we are setting sail on a raf

So now we're making paddles.
It's the last thing.

So, this is the stick
jen's been working on.

And we are gonna
put some vine in there,

And we're gonna weave
this whole section here

And make a little paddles.

And here's amber's bed,
all disassembled

And take some of these
vines off

And start weaving them
into my paddle
and jen's paddle.

today is day 39
and we are so close.

I'm just excited
'cause it's tangible,
you know,

It's almost like three time
the time of what I've done
in a previous challenge.

And so, I know
I'll be really proud.

Looking pretty good.

I really like
how this turned out.

I think the cordage
and the weaving

Is really strong
and will work great out there.

- it's looks tight.
- Yeah, we're surviving.

oh-oh.

You're listening
to the thunder sounds
of the amazon jungle.

It's gonna be
a long freakin' night.

That is what's headed our way.

There is a storm brewing,
the likes of which
I have not seen

Since I've been out here.

it's raining down there.

It just started downpouring.

This is what happens
when you get cocky
about doing 60 days.

it's day 39
and we've got
a huge rain storm

Coming in right now, so.

It's getting our fire going.
Woo!

It's hot.
Just trying to stay dry.

this is what
mother nature does.

The amazon
is ruthless out here.

Well after midnight
going about 7 hours
of storming.

Still going.

it is coming down
in buckets.

And the thunder
is still going, so.

Yeah. Cold rain buckets.

damn.

It is pitch black
and pouring outside.

Man...

oh, we got
flooding now, coming in.

it's literally
in a puddle right down.

Storm from hell right now.

jen has got this fire
cranking right now.

Yeah.

things has just slammed here,
it was a rough night.

Me and steven and amber
feel like
we were in a bar brawl.

Amber is over there.

She's still trying
to get it in.

How are you doing, buddy?

Rough night.

We got 12 hours
of storms last night.

Well, from sundown to sun up,
it did not stop raining.

Oh, we'll see
what we got outside.

Oh, my god. We got lakefront.

Lakefront property.

I'm just hoping our
caiman hook is still okay.

Oh, it was just
a little rough one.

that was a hell
of a storm last night.

Cam up, like, six inches.

yeah, that's raised...

raising quite a bit.

- the shelter's done really good.
- - that was solid.

Yeah.

hmm.

This water,

I mean, that's never
been there before.

It is like filled to the top.

we had an epic stor
last night,

But today is day 40,
extraction.

And holy crap.

I'm so freaking excited.

- all right, so we need our knives.
- - thank you.

there's mine. Our saw.

We'll bring our pot of water.

- and...
- our paddles.

Now we're heading home.

Ready to paddle out of here.

We did not sleep well
last night.

Honestly, I am worried.

I don't know if we'll have
the energy to get us
through extraction.

Whoo, it's so muddy.

Amazing to leave
the shelter finally.

I mean, we spent
40 days there.
I'm good to go.

Yeah, it's not bittersweet.

It is sweet to leave.

I'm not even looking back.

I am feeling so free.

And hopefully
my energy makes it

All the way to the end
of the river.

The hyacinths are
a freaking nightmare.

What you see on top is not
what's underneath them.

It is loaded with vines
that are intertwined
and just go on forever.

So, it's not gonna be easy.

But jen and I, we will make

The 40 days
to the finish line.

Game day, baby.

- I've got the extraction map.
- all right.

it looks like
we should be heading north.

And especially with that
open part in the channel,

I'm thinking that
we head out that way,

So we just have to dig
through all this hyacinth

And venture down
the river that way.

I started as a fan
and I wasn't sure

What would come out
of these challenges.

But if I can get
through this extraction

And complete this
40 day challenge,

That would be
a huge accomplishment.

all righty.

with no protectio
from the 90 degree heat,

Trish and jen must venture
five grueling miles

Through a thick hyacinth,
teaming with black caiman,

Anaconda and venomous spider

To a large tributary
of the amazon river,

Where a seaplane
will take them
back to civilization.

I'm gonna take
this one with me, I think.

- Here we go.
- And we're off.

we are off.

and then we'll probably
want to grab this pole
for you.

Unless we're doing
just one pole,
one person cutting.

And I'm wondering
if we need two poles
or one pole.

Probably just one for now,
I mean.

Then if I'm cutting,
then will you be pushing,
I guess.

Yup.

one of us will be
on the front of the raft

And the other one
will be on the back.

And if our paddles don't wor
we'll have long sticks

So that we can push off
the mud, off the riverbed.

And that way we'll be able
to get through

All the vegetation
and the hyacinth.

- doing good, trish.
- all right.

hell yeah.
So many spiders.

- Here, do you want to switch?
- yeah.

- we got this.
- yeah.

Paddleboarding
down the amazon.

- yeah.
- - you just need that top bit of that chunk.

See, like,
this stuff is too woody.

- Just that white bit.
- yeah.

We ran out
of harder palm today,

So we've chopped down
another one

'cause that's been
really good.

You good, dan?

something feels a little more ominous today.
I don't know what it is.

Dan.

dan and waz still
have 20 more days out here,

And it's like starting
a 21 day challenge
almost all over again

After spending 40 days
in the amazon jungle.

Certainly, bittersweet
being here on day 40.

- yeah.
- - what makes it bittersweet?

Just that we were
looking forward to seeing
our loved ones

And other creature comforts
and stuff like that at home.

the way that
I reconcile that personally,

My loved ones
and the creature comforts
will still be there.

So, the bitter will go away
and the sweet will stay.

If I left on day 40,
I would get that sweet,

But the bitter would stay
forever of not having done 60.

that's a very good way
to put it.

It's a great way to put it.

I just still can't believe it's day 40.
I'm in shock still.

- Wow.
- I mean, we work
so hard to get here.

I know people
might be leaving today.

That's the crazy part
about this.

My girls might be
going home today.

I'm gonna pray for them
for their safe journey

This morning,
if we can do that.

Dear lord, bless us
on this safe journey.
Keep us all safe out there.

And prayers to those
that are extracting today.

Give them strength.

And also, please give ej
the strength he needs
to find this big caiman.

Let it come to him.

Amen to that.

I would love to have
one big kill

That would be huge for us
to build up our strength

To just carry us out of here

One caiman, good size,
maybe 4, 5, 6 foot.

We're heading down
to the lake.
Check the line.

Looks like
it's been wrapped around.

Yeah. Oh.

See?

Unless it just dropped
in the water

'cause the trigger
is still there.

Bait's off.

Nothing's broke.

Well, when we go catch fish...

- come back and bait it.
- On the way back.

Like, yeah.

let's pump it up
and go get some fish, brother.

I love them, but god,
do they love fishing.

and I just still see
hyacinth and vines and weeds.

And we got the mama caiman.

I'm sure she's hanging around
somewhere,

Waiting for revenge for her...

The meal we had the other day.

I have no idea how long
it's gonna take
to get out of here.

Two done.
I'm frickin' whooped.

My arms are like jello.

This paddle just feels like
it's getting heavier
every push.

I just hope we find
more open water

Because this hyacinth
is so draining

To paddle through.

-I mean, it's following us.
Look at this. This is...
-Yeah.

We're like paddling,
and it's just following us.

If these hyacinths
keep closing in on us,

We're gonna have
to cut them again.

- Yeah.
- We're gonna get
stuck in these vines.

And honestly, the amount
of spiders of all sizes

And variations
on these hyacinths,

I'm not feeling like
I want to welcome them
on the raft,

So I don't want
to be stuck in them at all.

So, we just got to keep
paddling like steady,
you know.

Nothing's ever guaranteed
out here in the amazon.

And I know my body
enough to know my limits.

But at this point,
to put in all this time

And fail,
it would be crushing.

Come on, jen.

trish,
do you see that area?

yeah, I do.

it looks like a little...
Looks like a fishing spot.

Hello.

Is that...

amazon people.

check it out, guys.

taj-mazon.

Who's there?

it is amber.

who?

- who's there?
- it is amber.

who?

How you goin, girls?

Both of you,
I'm so proud of you all.

Yeah. We did it.

hell yeah.

- Nope. We left it to rot.
- no.

- Just like you left us to rot.
- No.

You guys look like
bad ass women,
and you did it.

And I am proud of you
more than you know, love.
You look good.

Look at those beautiful girls.

hearing that screechy voice
from beyond the jungle

Was like knives in my ears.

You guys look so cool, man.
Looking good.

it's crazy to see ambe

Along our extraction.

I don't think,
I had as many issues,

That was more
trish's thing, so.

I didn't leave them
there to rot.

I wanted them
to push themselves.

They were picked for a reason
because they have skills.

I couldn't do it
for them every day.

I wanted them
to do it themselves
and they did it.

And that's what
a good mentor does.

I'm not excited
to see amber.

I'm not excited
to hear her voice.

That's all I have
to say about that.

all right, girls,
we love you.

- Congratulations again.
- Yay!

- We did it!
- Whoo!

- Party!
- Amazon, yeah!

Whoo!

Yay!

- Whoo! Bitchin'!
- yeah!

- We will.
- You too.

Ej, you're back
in that model body, I see.

yeah.
Yeah, buddy!

look at that.

the amazon model
has arrived.

Extraction, that way.

yep. It's this way.

Thanks, ladies.

The old guy's still got it.

That's awesome.

have mercy
on their souls

Because I wouldn't stay here
another... Another minute.

So good luck to you.

it's great
to see everyone.

But for now,
while my partners are fishing,

Just look around here and see
if I can find
anything else to eat.

Be nice to provide
a meal for my team.

I'm determined.
I'm going to bag something.

I'm a hunter. I'm the trapper.

I'm... This is what
my strengths are, you know?

And that's gonna be
my contribution to the team.

All my years of hunting,
I've never been in a place

Where there's just nothing
on the ground to hunt.

Oh, man.

It's absolutely baffling,
been at it for three weeks.

The things that I've hit
have gotten away and...

Seize your opportunities,
you got to take them.

yeah.
That's a big one.

that's a huge one.

great job, steven.

yeah, girl.

very deliberately,
very quietly.

I have not seen
this guy in this area.

This is the first time,
since I've been here,
I've seen this guy.

And I'm about to get me
some lunch.

You see that little guy
right there?

I'm about to try and zip him
with a blow dart gun.

We've already applied
the poison.

Let's see
if we can sneak up on him.

Really sucks.

Damn it.

I just missed him.

Getting so damn good
with this thing, so close.

Just got to keep trying.

dude,
there's so much *bleep*
happening here.

Dude, every paddle
is like death.

I don't know how long
this frickin' river is,
but I'll tell you what.

I don't know
how much more I can paddle.

- Seriously.
- Seriously?

I'm, like, out of gas, man.

My arms are like jello.

I've not done
a challenge this long befor

And I'm really starting
to slow down.

But I would die out here
before I quit
something like this.

I just want to keep paddling.

yeah.

I don't really see
too much of an end in sight.

trish and I have been
paddling this river forever

I am getting so exhausted,
my arms hurt,
my body is aching,

The sun is just
beating down on us.

And we're just
hoping extraction is near.

This is just sucking
the life out of us.

this is just
sucking the life out of us.

Trish and I have been paddli
this river for hours.

My body is aching.

The sun is just
beating down on us,

And we're just
hoping extraction is near.

Trish, do you see that
up ahead?

yeah, it looks like...
It looks like it opens up after that, like,

Narrow little spot
of hyacinth.

Oh, my god.
Please be almost there.

oh, my god.

all right. I just got
a little more energy.

Oh! We got this, trish.

come on,
let's... Let's dig.

We're exhausted.

We're spent.

The only thing keeping me
going is knowing that
this is the end.

And I really want to cross
the finish line with jen,

Because this is probably
the hardest paddle
I've ever done in my life.

Making the turn.

Ah, the current is taking us.

Hell, yes.

- Oh, my god.
- I'm whooped.

Oh, my god.

There's a lot of things
jumping, look ahead,

Look ahead,
look ahead, look ahead.

Something's swimming.

what the hell is that?

Oh, dude, what was that?

- Capybara?
- -It was either a or a frickin' anaconda.

all right, we got this.
Keep going left.

I am frickin' spent, man.

Look at this open water.

I'm spent.
I truly... I can't even...

that was so hard, trish.

Dude, our extraction vehicle's
gotta be close.

This is the open area.

I don't know
where else we could be.

I don't know,
I don't see anything.

I don't see another boat.

Hell, I don't even...
I don't see anything.

It's open water,
but we don't see anything.

I don't care
what the hell shows up.

I don't care if it's a bus.

I don't care
if it's a helicopter.

I don't care if it's a pair
of pink dolphins.

Just get me out of here.

oh, my god.
There it is. Trish?

Look!

We made it!
We did it!

amazon!
Whoo!

Hell, yeah.

Good job, girl. Yes! Yes!
Whoo!

we did it.

- are you crying?
- I'm just happy.

Whoa, don't tip us.

I'm not gonna lie. I walked
into this challenge terrifie

I thought that 40 days was
daunting.

I knew this environment
was gonna be
so challenging.

I cried myself to sleep
the night before insertion,

So I didn't know
what I would actually be
capable of out here.

And you just take on every day
and you push so hard

And you use that
mental fortitude
that I knew I had.

And here I am on day 40.

hey,
let me give you a hug.

I love you so much.

- We did it.
- Good job.

- Good job.
- We did it!

the vultures
are circling us.

They thought
they had an easy meal.

Yeah, we looked like
an easy target for a second,
but we got to get out.

Not today, vultures,
we're leaving.

- Good job, girl.
- Amazon, whoo!

Beat the amazon.

This 40-day challenge
is definitely the hardest,

Most challenging thing
I've done ever in my life.

And it feels like
I can conquer anything.

We did it.

Forty days in amazon.

-That was insane.

I cannot believe,
we made that.

That was rough, man.
You're the best.

Thank you
for being by my side.

The best partner I've ever had

Out of anyone
in any challenge,
and we made it 40 days.

Yeah, we did.

Thanks for being
the toughest chick
to spend 40 days with.

enduring all of this
with trish
was so important to me.

You know, we were teammates
from day one and we saw
40-day extraction together.

And that means
the world to me.

I've had my struggles
with partners throughout
my previous challenges,

And this is what I've craved
most in a challenge,

Is experiencing
this with someone

And seeing
that finish line together.

I'm not gonna miss
this any time soon.

We're not in it.
We're over it.

And it's amazing.
Whoo!

it sounds like
a plane.

we haven't heard
planes in forever.

that's got to be
the girls' extraction
right there.

that's the girls, baby.
That's the girl.

Look, right there.
Yeah!
Whoo!

oh, my god.
Look, there's people.

Yeah!
Yeah, girls!

I really
had some great time
with trish and jen,

And there may be
some bitter taste in the mouth
with them thinking,

I can't believe
that you left us.

The truth is, they're gonna
look back on this
and realize,

I'm glad amber pushed us
to the next limits

Because it really made them
a stronger survivalist.

- oh, hey, guys.
- - that's got to be the extraction plan.

Oh, heck yeah.

The one who's in there.

I'm proud of him,
whoever it is.

yeah!
Hell yeah!

Like one day out here
in this environment is brutal.

It will break you down.

And to spend 40 days out here,

Is
a monumental accomplishment

And not something
to be taken lightly,

But to see someone
accomplishing that,

Someone having that
joyous moment

That I am looking forward
to so much,

So close to us
flying directly overhead
just brings me to tears.

So proud for them.

what a great day,
guys. It's caiman day.

back on the road,
slow and steady.

Day 41 for my partners.

And even though
amber and steven
are getting fish,

We need a big meal.

I think
if we get a big caiman,

You can probably
stretch it out, and that cou
carry us to the end.

And that might be
what needs to happen
to get us to 60 days.

I'm, like, dripping.

You're like an ice cream
cone in the middle of July.

wait a minute.

Line looks tight.

Let's see what we got.

Nope.

Took the fish
head off and all.

the bait just dropped
and we're going to,
you know, rebait.

We know he's in there,
and so let's hope
he comes back for seconds.

Another day
in the jungle, baby.

- that's right.
- that's how it works.

pump it up
and go get some fish, brother.

There's never
any riddles to this.

It's always,
it is or it isn't.

Let's go get some dinner
since we are out here,

We might as well
go by the creek fishing.

We're gonna need
every calorie and every sour
of food and protein we can

'cause it's long trek,
time-consuming.

It burns a lot of calories,
so hopefully catches
a couple big fish,

Be able to put some food
in our bellies.

It's the jungle.

Kill or be killed.

Somedays, you win,
somedays, you lose.

Somedays, you get the jaguar,
somedays, the jaguar gets you.

tell you what,
after doing this every day,

I ain't gonna bitch
about getting in my truck
and go to the grocery store

For anything I want.

It takes me five minutes
to do.

You know, the hikes are long

But to build a shelter
all the way
to the good food source,

To the... To the pond
or the creek,

It's not worth wasting
our time or energy.

It's doable,
but it's risk-reward,
calorie burning situation.

It's just not worth it.

Ah, that's the wolf's den.

game on.
Good luck, brother.

sit down.
I'll set this up.

Whoa!

Okay.

I can't keep doing treks
like this.

The humidity,
you just start sweating.

The more I start sweating,
the more dehydrated
I'm getting.

So I don't want to become
a heat casualty.

And this jungle
will do that to you quick.

Got a pretty sweet hole
over here.

Saw six of them
come after my bait.

First cast.

yeah. Bring her in.

Hey, one.

nice.
First fish, baby.

Beautiful.

it's tiny,
but it's a start.

Are we gonna eat that
and use it for bait, steven?

well,
we're gonna keep fishing,

Figure that out,
if we get more fish.

right.
Could put it in the water.

See if an eel comes over
in those shallows,

Kind of splashing around.

- thatagirl.
- there you go.

in my bag.

and grab this
little guppy then, steven,
give it a shot.

yeah, go ahead, man.

bring it back for bait,
one or the other.

can you...
Okay, yeah, cool.

I'm sorry.
What is he doing with the fish?

- What are you doing, ej?
- I'm taking care of the fish.

I'm gutting it right now.

- are you taking it with you?
- - I'm taking it with me.

I've got a plan.

I've been out here almost
three weeks and nothing.

I'm determined.
I've got to bag something.

That's gonna be
my contribution to the team.
Fish is good.

But we need a big kill
for a long-term solution

To what our food situation is.

Because in my experience
and I've been through
this a lot,

You know,
where we're currently at,

Sure, if we have to walk
to get the fish,
we're going to do that.

But at this point in the gam
especially with my partners
about two weeks ahead of me

I don't believe
it's gonna be sustainable.

We're expending
a lot of calories
going down and coming back.

And what we catch in fish,

We're just putting back
in our system
what we just used.

So we're never getting
any gains,
never getting ahead,

And we're not gonna be able
to keep that up.

time to do
some target practice.

Oh.

Ooh.

I'm probably the best shot
out here with the bow.

Other than matt, obviously.

How many arrows was that?
Five.

You know, I've been trainin
on this bow

And think the one goal
I'm setting for myself

For the rest of this challen
is to take this skill that
I've been trying to hone in

I've been practicing,
I've been trying to learn

And use it to just
help provide for us
in a big, major way.

Yeah. There we go.

That was it.

Heck, yeah.

don't know how I caught one of those.
They eat vegetation.

you got one armored catfish?

yeah.

I got one oscar.

yeah, I just had one.

even though
we have to walk
to the pond to get fish.

It's about a mile and a hal
to two miles one way.

The river
only provides sometimes.

The fish
are very sporadic here,

And I'd rather take a chance
at being a guaranteed site

For fishing
versus maybe sight.

Three fish, same bait.
Feeling good.

keep it up.
Keep it up.

I definitely saw
the eel here.

They're attracted
to vibrations.

That's where you pluck
the water with the spear
or your fingers.

That draws them out
because of curiosity.

I came here to help,
and that's my mission.

I'm trying everything
I got at this thing.

Damn it.

Nothing's scoring over here.

I'm trying every trick
in the book
that I know of, hoping

That this eel will show up.

It's a hard animal to read.

Hard animal to hunt.

we're at six, ej.

what's that?

six fish.

nice. Congrats.

My team, I'm happy for them.

If we get fish, I'm happy
because we're all eating.

It's keep us in this fight.

But I'm concerned.
We need a big meal.

- great day, boys.
- great day.

we're trying to get
a spot for this fruit

To get it a little bit
away from the shelter,

But in a way
that you can walk around

And eat it,
you can set stuff on it.

We're trying to set
a lot of stuff on this rack,

So I figured it would be
better to do it that way.

If you want to help me
put that table,

We'll see if we can pick that
table up and just kind of...

- yeah.
- ...Set it
right up on here.

Oh, yeah.

Pull it your way a little bit.

We decided to build
a table today

With a couple x brackets,
just like you make the dock

So now it's got
a little furniture out there,

And we're getting
this place ready
for 60 days.

Yeah, a couple of notches
on the side

And the shelf will sink
right down to the level
we need.

That's great.

that's...

I'm just coming out here.

There's a fricking
nice-sized caiman.

The spectacle of caiman
laying in a bit of water.

He's maybe about 150 feet
from the main water source,

But in an area
that he can easily run out.

Yo, guys.

what do you see?

look at him
right there.

Look at him in the *bleep*

get the bow and arrow,
get the bow and arrow.

We've got a caiman.

oh,
that's a good size, too.

I'm gonna go around.

I'm gonna go around.

All right, dude.
Right under this log.

Make sure, you try to hit him
in the spine,

- Which will try
to paralyze him...
- Back of the head?

Back of the neck.
Back of the neck.

Put him down.

If you hit on that log,
just everything you did
when you blow fished

That fish, remember,
stay calm.

Stay steady and deliver.

Look at the exact scale
you want to hit.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Slowly, buddy. Slowly, slowly.

his eyes are open.
So he's watching us.

I'll block him
from going out this way.

Waz, you block him
from the other way.

They could run fast on land.

Just stay steady and calm.

Well, there's definitely
a lot of hidden dangers.

This caiman can take you ou
at any moment,

And you might
not even see it coming.

We don't know
how it's going to react.

So matt's gonna catch it
if it runs forward
out this way.

I'm gonna catch it
if it runs backward,
out the other direction.

So we're just trying to be
careful and play it
as safe as possible.

You know
what you're going for?

I'm ready.

Dude, nailed... Nailed him.

Oh, my god.
Frickin' dome shot!

Okay, hold on.
Stay steady, you guys.
He can wake up any second.

You just put him
in a fricking headshot, dude.

Put a second in,
put a second in.

Oh, nice, dude,
you paralyzed him.

Look at this thing.

Oh, my gosh.
He's paralyzed.

Oh.

All right, waz careful,
buddy careful. Careful.

All right, pull him out
in the open,
so we got some fighting room.

Yo, his eyes are open.
His eyes are open.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I'm going to jump on him.

- And as soon as I do,
I'm gonna need you guys.
- Yep. Hold on.

I'll jump on him.
You jump on too. Ready?

- One, two.
- Go, go.

- Whoo!
- Oh, my god.

Oh!

My heart is racing right now.

I'll tell you,
my heart skipped a beat

When I saw his mouth open,
I was like,
"he's got no power now."

That first shot
just completely severed...

This is the brain cavity,
right here, of a caiman.

Your broadhead stuck
in the brain
and severed that connection.

This thing, he didn't move.
He didn't even know
what hit it.

To him, lights out.
He just went nap time.

We'll tie his mouth up.

Oh, my god. He's beautiful.

Frickin' well done.

- Didn't have time to think.
- God damn!

That was...

Just that feeling
of that power and that...
That's a prehistoric animal

That's a... Those things
don't mess around.

Good shootin', buddy.

I'm proud of you,
I'm frickin' proud of you.

I could not be more ecstatic

I stood just the other day
at the precipice
from 40 to 60,

Looking out into the unknown
and hoping
for a win like this.

Use my knife, man.

- I'll do it.
- Right in there, buddy.

Okay. That's it.
That'll do it.

Not only
is matt's guidance helpful,

Matt has done
seven challenges now,

He knows what you have to do
to get to the end.

And on top of that,
he doesn't have a big ego.

He's the perfect person
to come out here
to help us get to day 60.

Thank you, buddy.
Thank you.

That's a absolute
beautiful animal.

I'll never forget today

The day we got the caiman.

How much do you think
he weighs?

Probably 90 pounds.

Yeah, I would've guessed 100.

Hundred pounds maybe. Yeah.

We could do this, this is...

There you go.

So this is about 40 pounds
of food here.

This is 40 pounds
of pure protein and fat.

We're three hungry dudes.

All right, let's grab
some of this cordage here.

Gonna tie him up
in the tree
so we can process him.

- Ready?
- Yep. Right about there
should be good.

- That's good?
- Yep.

This is exactly...
Exactly what I needed
moving forward.

What we all needed.

He's long.

That's a 6'6" caiman, easy.

- Or even more.
- So 6 1/2 feet.

Even though this caiman,
it's probably
about 100 pounds,

I would say it's maybe
going to last about six days.

We could extend it.

But when you extend it,
you take the risk.

And that risk is not always
worth the reward,

Because if we extend it
and that meat goes bad,
then that's wasted meat.

So we have to eat
as much as we possibly can

To make sure
that this environment,

With all this humidity
and everything
doesn't spoil that meat.

Waz, you could use
my knife just
kind of for this first part

Just because
it is your first time,
it's mine as well.

And you should both be able
to kind of just
keep your hand in,

You know, where
you won't cut
each other, of course.

And then when you go
to cut it,
use it at like this angle.

There you go, like that. Yep.

Luckily, matt has a ton
of experience cleaning
gators and related species,

So he knows right away
how to butcher this

And how to use all the part
of it and not waste
a damn thing.

The only way I know
how to do a challenge,

I think, is to have
massive amounts of meat

And, you know, figure out
how to preserve it
and consume it.

So I've learned a lot
in these challenges

That there's various steps
you have to follow.

Parts of the meat
can be processed
and turned into jerky.

That's gonna be, you know,
the tail, some of the back.

Then there's gonna be
other parts like
with the neck bone

As well as kind of
the hip bone section.

Those have to be
in a stew pot.

But in between that,
you've got the organs,

The liver, and the heart
are going to saute that

And have some fried liver,
fried heart.

And after that,
you're just gonna have
a ton of jerky up top.

What about that
meat chandelier, boys?

You guys kept saying
you wanted a meat chandelier.

There it is.

We're just living it up
in the shelter right now.

This is absolutely amazing.

This is a caiman leg, people.

And this should be sold
everywhere.

This is so good.

Cooked, thoroughly,
piping hot, juicy and fatty.

Just delicious.

I am so happy,

I cannot even begin
to put it into words.

- Whoo.
- Heck yeah.

- great day, guys.
- great day.

yeah.

I got to lay down for a second.
My legs are ready for a break.

it'd be nice
if there was a spot

We could find on the map
closer to extraction

That was a better
hunting ground

And we didn't have to fish
or go as far to fish and hunt.

are you considering
maybe to find a new location
that's closer to extraction?

I'd like
to personally wait
till we got a big meal,

But we don't see
that big meal coming...

okay.

...You know, to have
the strength to do it

While we have strength
about us.

I mean, quite honestly, guys,
I've watched both of you,

And I know you feel good,
but it breaks my heart,
if that's what we look like.

it's our
only protein source right now,
you know?

we can go... Yeah,
we can get...

Find a way to get smarter
about it for ourselves,

That'd be great.

But I'm just voicing
my concerns as I see it.

you know, he's righ

I mean, we're not going
to make this 60 days
eating really small fish,

But leaving this place,

It's really risky
if you're not 100% certain
of what's out there.

And, you know,
pond is producing for now an

You know, it keeps
going to the next day.

So as long
as this is sustainable,

This is gonna be
a good spot to be
for... For a little while.

I appreciate you guys.

Thanks for getting
all those fish. And those...

yeah, well,
we love you, brother.

let's get
some breakfast, guys.

all right,
we got our stew. We got this.

Look at this breakfast
we got it right here.

- Rack of ribs.
- jesus.

slow smoked
for about 12...

What do you say,
about hours, waz?

mm-hmm.

- and that...
- juicy.

...We just
heated up this morning.

There's heaps of meat
in there.

There's plenty of stuff
we're gonna chew on,

Golden brown, delicious.
Let's get stuck in.

oh, *bleep*.

It is day 42,
and we're doing well.

We're thriving.

We've had a heck of a heck
of a double whammy
on this one.

Had a horn screamer, and bam,

Get a 6 1/2 foot caiman
full of fat, full of protein.

And out here in the amazon,
survival is good.

- Uh-huh?
- It's good.

There are so many
little things

That I've been wanting
to get to,

Just like little quick things
that I haven't had
the energy for.

Just been like
wasting away
and doing the priorities.

But after yesterday and today,
I have so much energy
right now.

Would could
homestead this place
a little bit, you know?

Yeah.

Because
it's... It needs a little,

It needs a couple
comforting touches.

Yep.

I've got an abundance
of calories,
abundance of energy,

And now we actually have time
to do some of the stuff
we've been putting off,

You know, to make ourselves
a little bit more comfortable

Because we still...
We've still got
some serious time left.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Okay.

I've been wanting to build
a treehouse
overlooking the water,

Overlooking the fishing dock.

using
an existing cluster
of strangler fig roots

As a foundation,

Waz plans to secure
two opposing y branches
into the ground

To support a frame
before lying down

The smaller logs to complet
the raised platform.

It's not gonna get us
any calories back,

But at the same point in time
it'll give us a place

That we can rest
and just recharge
a little bit and just get u

In a nice mental mindset
to push through

And do the jobs
we've got to do.

So, I'm looking
for some y branches,

But some tall ones
that are gonna be
about shoulder height

That I can start building
this treehouse with.

That's the perfect size
right there.

We don't want to just
survive out here,

We want to thrive,
and we don't want
to just thrive.

We want to thrive in luxury.

We're making life comfortable
for ourselves.

We're doing it in style.

Yeah. It's not going anywhere.

Just looking
for the best points

That I could just
slide something in,

And it will just sit there.
Even though this is moving,

What I can do is I can strap
both of these together
really tight.

And then a branch
will just
sit it here perfectly.

It's pretty good.

oh, tree, bless me,
I'm the spirit of the jungle.

I've been struggling
for three weeks to hunt...

Hunt your lands,
find food for my team.

Jungle spirits,
I could sure use your help.

I'm with two
of the best fishermen
I've ever met.

They're real reelin' 'em in.

But we're in
a calorie deficit.

We're not even getting ahead.

We need a big win.

That's why I have to go...
Go out for a couple of days
and hopefully get a big kill.

A big meal.

Ooh. Hey, guys.

what's up, brother?

you guys, can I speak
to you for a minute?

Yeah.

You wanna come in here?
You want to come out?

no, come on out, please.

everything all right?

yeah.

lying to me?

nah.
I would never lie to you.

mm-hmm,
what surprises now?

- I can see it
in your face.
- Yeah. I just,

In my heart
and soul, feel this is...

This is it for us
for two more weeks.

I just don't.

And I know
I'm gonna head out
for a couple of days.

I want to try and find
some other hunting grounds,
something a little bit more.

But I got to... I got
to do this for us.

We need a big meal,

But I'll be okay
if I'm not back
in a couple of days, then...

Then the amazon broke me.

what?

I'm gonna worry about you.

- I know you will.
- yeah.

Ej is going off on his own
for a couple days,

Which is pretty
risky business.

But I trust him,
and I trust his ability,

So I know he'll be okay,
but going to miss him.

I'll pray for him.

I hope he hit a big score.

I think that'd be great.

So, I'm gonna gather
my things and...

Okay, I love you.

Me too.

- and I'm with you.
- okay.

Group hug.

You guys
take care of each other.

Watch where you're stepping.

You got this.
I believe in you.

You're gonna crush it.
Thanks.

- We'll see you
in a couple days.
- When you come back...

Can't wait to see
that damn white bird.

Yeah.

I hope I'll come back
with a couple strung
over my neck.

since I've been
at this location,

One thing that has been
bringing in food is the fish

But there are no animals
anywhere.

Truthfully, there's nothing
out in our area.

I mean, there's no tracks,
nothing.

Even though there are a lot
of risk factors in this,

Ej's is willing
to sacrifice himself

To make sure
we get that big game.

He's in my prayers for safety.

And I know I'll see him
in a couple of days.

You know we're here,
in case something happens
or you need us,

You'll know where we are.

of course.
It's quite dangerous.

I've seen signs of jaguars.

There's plenty
of fer-de-lances around.

And this humidity,
I got to be extra careful.

- I love you guys.
- Love you.

love you, brother.
Please be safe.

He's on a huge journey.

Yeah.

I respect that. I get it.

this is about them
making 60 days.

I need to head out
to the wilderness and see

If I can find
better hunting grounds,
better area...

Something.

There's nowhere to hide.

Frickin' fer-de-lance.

Got him.

Dude, nailed him.

Oh, frickin' dome shot.

My heart is racing over here.

the xls
or xl success metric

Weighs each group's
collective skills

And survival status
to determine
a likely percentage

Of reaching their 60-day goa

With three weeks remaining..

- I think you got him.
- Heck yeah.

- Nice job.
- Yeah.

It's my first bow fishing.

...The hunt
for a big game
has intensified.

And after seeing
their original
extraction day pass by...

Yeah!

...Dan and waz
stepped up.

Dude, nailed... Nailed him.

...To land
the biggest protein haul
of the challenge.

This is absolutely amazing.

This should be sold
everywhere.

This is so good.

as a result,

Their xl success metric
shoots up from 38% to 66%.

First task...

for steven
and amber.

- Hey, one.
- nice.

- I got one oscar.
- attagirl.

Yeah.

a distant
fishing hole continues
to provide.

- You got one armored catfish?
- Yeah.

but the energy
to get there...

It's long trek,
time consuming.

It burns a lot of calories.

...Is taking
a toll...

quite honestly, guys,
I've watched both of you,
but it breaks my heart

If that's what we look like.

...Leading ej
to a risky decision.

I'm gonna head out
for a couple of days.
Okay.

I want to try and find some
other hunting grounds.

We need a big meal.

...To venture
into the jungle alone.

- I love you guys.
- love you.

love you, brother.
Please be safe.

their team
xls drops from 65% to 47%.

There's nowhere to hide.

Listen, amazon,
I'm coming for you!

Looking great.

Wow, it looks really great.

Cutting some of the back out
and beautiful.

We'll be good to go.

So today we're still
kind of buttoning up shop

And that is turning our house
into a little bit

More of a tidy household
where we come home,

We got some things in order.

We have a lot of little stuf
to do.

I started shaving a couple
trees down

So we can actually put
a sign on it.

What do you think?
You got a name for it yet?

I've been trying to think
of something,

But it hasn't struck me
just yet.

What about that
horn turkey name?

Casa di camungo.

Oh, casa di camungo.
Or camungo cantina.

I like that.
I like the cantina.

- You said it's got
to be a house, right?
- Yeah.

Let's pretend we're living
in a god dang bar.

Okay.

I've taught dan as much
of these skills as I could.

And to see it in action,

Taking on that caiman,
that right there pushes him
into that legendary status.

It's beautiful.

Let me space this out
down here.

Yeah, probably
all the way across. Yeah.

You can do
a little bird face
in the middle.

Oh. Oh, dang. Bird face.

Yeah, bird face.

Oh, dang.

Get fancy with it.

I like it.
I like where you're at.

I came into this challenge
knowing that
for this length of time,

You can't really count days
too much.

You have to think
of this place as your home
and make it your home.

Looking good, buddy.

Camungo.

That's how I remember him.

- Yeah.
- Right there.

Yeah.

- All right.
- Looks pretty good.

Good work.

kinda thick down here.

I like the sound
of those turkeys, though.

Trying to bag one of them
since I've been out here.

It's definitely different
than where I was, for sure.

I'm excited though.

Excited.

Start to open up.

Went from thick jungle.

Now I'm like,
on almost like a hilltop.

it feels weird
not having ej.

it does, doesn't it?

I hope ej finds
what he's looking for.

I do too, brother.

all right,
at the wolf den.

we made it.

ej's a hunter,
and that's his forte.

That's...
That's what he's good at.

It's what he likes to do.
So this move is risky.

I mean,
amazon's a dangerous place
to kind of go by ourselves.

That's something else,
you know?

But he's also one
of the top survivalists
on the planet.

I'm praying that hopefully
he finds new resources,
but I worry.

And, you know,
it's what you do about
the people you care about.

Hopefully, I'll see him agai

You got your snails?

- mm-hmm.
- okay, good.

Good luck, babe.

It's a little bit strange,
you know, having ej leave us.

But he's gonna get that win.

He's going to get out there
he's gonna find something.

He's going to stab
that damn thing
or bring home a caiman to us

So I can't wait to see him
in a couple of days

And hopefully the amazon
gives him a chance.

nothing.

oh, no.

Oh, no.

Dang it, I am literally
getting caught on everything.

Ooh.

Took my damn bait.

looks like a dead end.

I'm feeling
a little dehydrated.

I need a good drink of water.

Son of a bitch,
my legs are getting tired.

I left my area
thinking maybe
I'd find greener pastures.

And sometimes, it opens up.

Sometimes, it gets thicker.

I left a spot
where comforts of home.

Water, bed, shelter.

I'm literally overworked,
overheated.

I now scratching my head.

Did I make the right choice?

I'm pretty uncertain.

Gone too far to go back now.

I went all in on this one.

I swear, you really
get yourself
in some predicaments.

Hope you didn't make
a wrong decision here.

Something's got to break.

Or I'm gonna break.

Dry heaving now.

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