[bleep]
[Malorie] I didn't even know it was gonna be this bad.
[Terra] Malorie!
Malorie! Get your ass up here!
I know that she likes to be out in the water
and stay out in the water,
but we have a major storm coming in.
I need her to come back and get dry and be safe.
We gotta go. This could get really dangerous
really fast.
[Kaiela] It's gonna be a bad one.
I can already tell.
[Heather] Oh, my God.
[Malorie speaking]
[Kaiela] Get in here. Hurry, hurry!
[Heather] Time to duck in.
It's gonna get wet [indistinct].
Look at this.
Oh, my goodness. It is coming down sideways.
[Malorie] Everything's [bleep] getting wet.
[Kaiela] This is insane, dude.
[Adam] It is absolutely insane.
Our shelter's leaking a little bit.
Like, it's raining that heavy.
I think there's nothing we can do there.
[Nathan] I'm so getting soaked.
-[Adam] Me, too. -[Kaiela] Yeah, me, too.
It's bad.
I'm getting poured on.
Yeah, me, too. I am drenched.
Literally sitting in [bleep] two inches of water.
[Terra] This sucks. Colombian weather.
This sucks.
[thunder rumbling]
Oh, my God.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, Mother Nature,
stop it!
There it is.
[narrator] With one week remaining in the 40-day challenge...
Naked people!
[narrator] ...the eight remaining survivalists have joined forces.
[Malorie] Guys, there's a nice lake here
[narrator] ...at the last significant water source of their journey.
[Adam] I think we found the money spot.
[narrator] But the group's first big food win...
-[bleep] -[Kaiela] Yeah!
[all cheering]
[narrator] ...disappeared quickly.
[Heather] That sucker's done, for sure.
We need another big win for our tribe,
because if we don't,
finishing this is gonna be hell.
[narrator] Now they have five days
to secure the protein they'll need
before an unprecedented two-day trek
to the finish line 19 miles away.
[Adam] The storm has started to pass.
It's starting to dry out.
We all weathered the storm.
-Maybe not fully dry. -Yep, dry enough.
[Adam] Weather comes in, we ride it out,
wait till it's over and then keep going.
Guys, we got extraction coming up,
so I think it's kind of important
that maybe we should take a look at
where we're gonna plot our plan
or what we're gonna do, you know?
-I agree. Yeah. -[Kaiela] Oh, yeah. I agree.
Extraction is right around the corner,
and the last two hikes I've had,
I mean, were kind of brutal on me.
[retching]
[Terra] Oh, [bleep].
[Heather] Wait, Terra.
-I gotta have some shade from... -[Terra] Okay.
This is hard.
This is so hard.
[Heather] This hike is something that I'm afraid
that I may not be able to complete.
Well... we're here.
-[Nathan] Yeah. -[Adam] And we got to get all the way up there.
That's a lot of jungle to cover.
[narrator] From their current camp
on the western edge of a large lake,
the group of eight will eventually
have to head east to the opposite shore,
before pushing through eight miles of dense, swampy jungle,
and traversing 11 miles
of blazing sun-scorched grasslands
and steep hillsides
with an elevation gain of over 10,000 feet,
before reaching the hilltop extraction point
on day 40.
That'll be 20 miles.
So two days is what it's gonna take.
That's huge.
So we've got to think about
going all the way around the lake.
And I'm gonna tell you all, going around the lake,
you literally sink knee to hip deep in mud.
Or going across the lake.
We've still got the raft.
It won't hold us, but it might hold our gear,
and we can just swim alongside it.
Literally just put the gear on the raft.
-[Malorie] Yeah. -[indistinct]
-What do you guys think? -[Malorie] I think, straight across.
I think straight across is probably the best,
and then we at least try to make it
you know, as far as we can.
The first day, swim across the lake
and at least try to make it
-three quarters through the jungle. -[Nathan] I agree.
You know, our goal is to make it to the tree line at least.
As much ground as we can cover.
I mean, that's a long, long way.
That's a long ways.
This is gonna be, by far, the longest hike
that any of us have had during this whole challenge.
It is a daunting task,
and If you're not nervous about this hike,
something's wrong.
Because you could be the ultimate mountaineer,
and, you know, the state that your body is currently in
this late in the game,
to tackle something like this,
it's just... it's dangerous
whatever way you spin it
it's probably gonna be
the hardest thing we've ever done in our lives.
These are the proving grounds,
and we have to prove ourselves, guys.
-[Adam] Yeah. -Yeah.
No wolf left behind.
All right.
[all howling]
[Malorie] Tonight, it's gonna happen.
We're freaking getting the freaking [indistinct].
[Kaiela] Yeah, we are.
I'm gonna check my line real quick.
Maybe there's some on there we can use for bait.
Okay.
[Terra] Are those poles out there?
[Malorie] Yeah.
[Kaiela] Yeah. I'll go check.
Whoa, I'm drunk.
We have one week left before this hike to extraction,
and we need to prepare our bodies for it.
We're depleted and, you know, I see everybody,
and everybody, you know, we're all struggling.
We have to do everything we can
to maintain our health and get healthier,
because, you know, I worry that maybe
we're not gonna be all strong enough.
-[Terra] No bait, no nothing. -[Kaiela] Nope.
[Malorie] I don't find nothing on this one, either.
Looks like we're [bleep] out of luck right now.
We need to get some bait before we can finish.
[Adam] Coming down to get some more water.
Got to get that H20.
I feel that, like, we definitely
have not been drinking enough water.
If we don't start focusing on water right now,
when it comes time to extract,
you know, we're gonna be screwed.
All right, I'm gonna keep boiling water.
I'm on a roll.
Got to be hydrated before this extraction.
I really wanna make sure everyone makes it to the end.
You know, I'm gonna do my best
to care for everyone, especially for Heather.
-You all right? -[Heather] Yeah.
-[Adam] All right. -[Heather] Good job.
[Adam] We've had a lot of trials and tribulations along the way.
Look over here. Yeah!
[Heather] He was going fishing and catching fish.
Like, a lot of fish.
And he never shared any of it with me.
He really does not care about anyone but himself.
You got to put the oxygen mask on yourself
before you can give it to someone else.
And at the time, I did what I had to do to survive, you know?
I've been a complete idiot.
Ultimately, I am so bloody sorry.
That's really sweet of you.
And I really appreciate you saying that.
Definitely.
[Adam] It feels good to have things right
between Heather and I.
And I'm glad we're getting along great now.
Ultimately, to make sure she gets to the end,
that's my motivation.
I'm going to do whatever I can to help her out.
So I'm gonna go boil a heap of water,
collect a heap of wood
and make sure everyone stays hydrated.
Not a pretty job, but someone's got to do it.
And the spear [indistinct].
[Nathan] Yep. And I set a snare trigger.
[Adam] Hell, yeah, that's what I want to hear.
In the coming days,
my main strategy is to focus on nispero
because that is the a windfall resource
to focus on right now.
However, I do realize, the group as a whole
definitely needs more protein, more fat.
So I want to experiment setting a spring snare,
which I've used in the past to catch possums and skunks.
So I'm trying to find a game trail.
It's very important to go to an area
that we don't go to very often,
so it's not as disturbed by us.
I think that setting snares is probably gonna be
the most effective strategy we have here,
other than just fishing.
This looks like a good one.
This type of snare that I'm using
uses a powered sapling.
The sapling is bent down.
And the snare is attached to it
with a small trigger mechanism
on the ground with a bait stick.
The idea is when the animal takes the bait stick
or pushes it down far enough, the trap will spring
and the snare will contract around
the animal's leg or head and lift it in the air
if it's a small enough animal.
That's what it's supposed to do.
[Lynsey] We're gonna have to clean out this shelter now,
and we gotta get new [indistinct] to block in
because it's cold.
Yeah, we're gonna have to do a little work on our shelter,
just in case it rains again.
We did get some pretty good leaks coming in,
and we were all getting wet.
Physically, I'm a little bit worried about my body.
I've lost a lot of weight.
I'm looking really skinny
and I feel really malnourished.
And whenever you're cold and you're shivering,
your body burns up more calories
and more energy to stay warm,
and in return, it's burning body fat quicker.
Ouch.
So today, we are definitely going to fortify our shelter.
We don't want any leaks.
We want to be able to sleep through those rainstorms.
Let me see. What's the best way to do this here?
Yeah, we definitely have some serious gaps to fill here.
I've accomplished a lot by coming through here,
but I'm not done yet.
Like, I'm kind of at the clearing.
I see the end, but I'm not there yet.
I still got to make it halfway around the track.
So I'm trying to make sure
I don't get hurt and tapped out.
Like, this would be awful
to get tapped out at the very end.
All right, we are good.
Bada-bing, bada-boom, babies.
So what I'm making is the lower portion
of a snare trigger for a spring snare.
And this here is to drive into the ground.
Pull the spring down with a little toggle right here.
And the bait stick goes across.
I think this challenge is very good
for people with my condition.
Asperger's syndrome.
And the reason being,
one of the attributes of the condition
is that you can obsessively focus
on things, such as survival.
But the unique circumstances of this challenge
should also give people like me
an ability to socialize
in areas where we feel more comfortable.
Definitely helped with my relationships
with my partners, Terra and Lynsey.
So I absolutely believe that by being on this challenge,
I can inspire other people
to see that there is hope to find friends.
This is a toggle that holds the trap in place.
The idea is that you put the bait on that end
and snare...
The loop of wire is gonna go on that end, too.
Basically, the loop can go one of two ways
and go like that to catch the head,
on the ground to catch the foot.
[indistinct] to catch the foot.
And I'm gonna then spring it, just show you what it does.
All right. It's working.
Specializing or focusing obsessively on something
is not always a bad thing.
Putting some of these monkey eaten
nispero fruits on the trap here.
It's helped me, I think,
come up with some innovative solutions,
as well as bringing into this challenge
over 25 years of knowledge that I have stored in my mind
of things relating to our ancestors,
hunter gatherers,
and survival situations in general.
All right, set.
Hopefully, one of these days, we'll have some dinner.
I'm not seeing freaking anything.
I know. I think it's the wind.
-I think it's the weather, to be honest. -[Malorie] Yeah.
-It's been a little stormy the last couple of days. -I'm not seeing anything.
I'm not seeing much here.
[Kaiela] It seems to shut things down down here.
[Malorie] Actually, even when I walked out there right now,
normally I get attacked by all these little fish.
Nothing.
[Kaiela] You okay?
[Malorie] I'm just tired.
Should probably head back up, boo-boo.
There's some smaller fish in this area.
I might try to just toss the net right here
and try to get a couple of small fish.
I think you should head back up and rest.
[Terra] Yep, I agree.
[Kaiela] You know, Malorie is my soul sister out here,
and she is the one that I relate to the most.
And she is a a big reason why we are as strong as we are.
And to watch her push herself, it's concerning for me
because I want her to make it
across that finish line with us.
She should be slowing down just a little bit,
and it seems like she's trying to push harder.
We should send Adam or Nate down with the cast net.
And we can set these lines.
You should rest.
Save that energy.
Hydrate.
[Malorie] Yeah, will hydrate.
Come on, let's let them get some bait,
and we'll come back out.
-[Malorie] All right. -'Cause I want to fish, too.
[Malorie] All right.
[Kaiela] I just wanna make sure she's safe.
I just wanna make sure she's taken care of.
You know, she's always looking out for everybody else,
but Mal needs people to look out for her, too.
Get some rest and hydrate please.
I'm okay. It's good.
I'm gonna stay down here and look for some bugs.
[Malorie] Okay.
I might sit up there and dig a little bit,
maybe get some worms.
Okay.
I'm alone at home normally,
so having a group is what I wanted,
and to actually bond with people.
And I love that I'm part of this group.
All I want to do is push them forward.
That's literally my goal now is to just push them forward.
So I'm trying to make sure that everybody's healthy
and strong to get through these next seven days.
That's what I want from this,
is to come out and make it through
my 40 days as a team, together.
[Heather] You feeling, darling?
-Not really -Oh, no.
You know, I know, as a mom,
you want to try to do as much as you can,
but she's got to stop and take care of herself.
Her body is literally telling her no.
[retching]
[Terra] Are you okay?
[retching]
[Lynsey] Do you need help?
[Malorie] I'm good. Thank you.
[Adam] Bloody hell.
It's not looking good.
[Terra] Let's make a call to the medic.
[Malorie] Just stop.
[Malorie retches, coughs]
There's nothing for me to vomit.
Stomach, come on. Just stop.
[Terra] You okay?
Want to lay down?
Come on.
-Thank you. -I got you.
If you start to fall, I'll catch you.
[Terra] Malorie's getting sick.
And I really am truly worried about her.
She's still putting in so much work,
so much effort for everybody else.
But she seems to be depleting more and more every day,
so I do want to bring it up to the medic.
[Malorie] Hello.
I don't...
[medic] You already eat something?
[Malorie] No, just water.
I'm trying not to eat too much of something
'cause I feel nauseous.
[narrator] With nausea and an accelerated heart rate,
Malorie is showing signs of dehydration,
requiring rest and water to recover.
Okay. All right, thank you.
[narrator] But after weeks of physical depletion,
she'll be monitored closely
to make sure she can safely continue the challenge.
[Terra] You okay?
Just have to sleep it off.
Thank you.
I'm just feeling nauseous.
And heart is pounding fast.
-Nate. -Yeah?
I was gonna throw your casting net,
but I started feeling sick.
If you get a chance, you think you could try to get us some bait?
Sure. I will grab some.
I appreciate you.
[Kaiela] Hey, Nate.
Just gonna cast net some bait real quick.
[Kaiela] Yes, we would love some help with bait.
[Nathan] I want to make sure that everyone on my team
makes it to the end.
Because for me, I was coming into this,
looking at it as a simulation of a kind of lifestyle
that all of our ancestors lived.
And if one of your team members
didn't make it to the end,
that means one of your family members died.
So that's the kind of the way I approach this whole thing.
[Kaiela] Damn, is that a big fish in there?
[Nathan] What fish?
[Kaiela] Nice, Nate.
Good job, dude.
If we can save the head for king bait.
[bleeping] She okay?
He got you.
-I got him. -Okay.
Mal needs more protein, so this is awesome.
This is great news.
Hopefully, Mal will eat some of this.
Awesome. Thank you so much.
-You're welcome. -Here's this.
And I'm gonna set these lines.
-Thank you. -Yep.
[Adam] He's a big sucker, isn't he?
[Nathan] One of the largest caught with my net.
Give that to Malorie.
[Heather speaking]
Okay.
No, I don't need that much.
Thank you.
[Terra] My partners have been doing a great job
of keeping fish on the table.
But knowing how far we have left to go,
a hell of a walk that we have to do
to get from here to extraction.
I know the calories that we're gonna
need to expend for that.
I know the water that we're gonna
need to expend for that.
And those need to be our driving forces
to get us across the finish line.
We have to keep pushing forward.
I think I might cruise along this kind of path
around this way and look for more moriche.
So the nispero fruits are definitely in abundance
and a lot easier to get.
But moriche carries
a little bit
more fiber in them
that helps our stomachs.
I think this is definitely
end of the season
because there's not nearly as many
moriche as there was in the beginning.
We are entering dry season of sorts,
and I think that these,
um, fruits are gonna become more and more scarce.
You're gonna have to work a little bit harder to get them.
It would break my heart
to make it all of this way
and to not get my 40 days.
But I think I found
an incredible amount of success
and confidence in this challenge.
I did not expect
both my partners to tap.
So I'm gonna leave the challenge.
I feel like her tap out is just
coming right behind mine.
It's starts to feel like left.
[objects clattering]
[sniffles]
[bleep] damn it.
[sniffles, cries]
It was really rough.
Everything felt pointless.
My anxiety is through the roof.
And then to
rock it out for 12 days by myself
and kill a caiman.
Yes!
Whoo!
And not only did I do that, but I did it by myself.
Chasing caiman naked in a Colombian jungle.
I am super thankful for
every high and low moment that I've had here.
Caiman killers.
[all whooping]
But I'd be lying
if I said that I wasn't a little bit nervous.
Questionable.
I am starting to question
how much longer I could push myself.
[Nathan] I'm gonna go down and check the snare.
[Kaiela] Okay.
I want to check that spring snare
that I set out yesterday,
and hopefully it's got something in there.
Nope. Nothing at all.
Doesn't seem to be any action. The snare hasn't moved.
So I don't have very high hopes for it,
but it was worth a shot.
I'll remove the trap when it's time for us to move,
otherwise I'll just leave it set.
It doesn't hurt to have it there.
[thunder rumbling]
[Adam] Got a few, eh?
[Nathan] Two fish,
one bait size, one eating size.
[Adam] Yeah, nice.
[Nathan] It may not be glamorous protein,
but it is protein nonetheless.
[Adam] It's all about these little wins right now, you know?
Caiman's not coming through just yet, so...
Catching them small fish,
eating the nispero,
that's what we've got to do.
Sometimes you've got to do the small things to get through.
[Malorie] How's it going, guys?
-[Adam] Good. -[Nathan] Going good.
Wanna try a live bait?
Sure, I'll throw one on my line.
I'm feeling better.
Sometimes I still feel a little nauseous,
I feel like...
I feel weak, I get dizzy.
All right, I'm gonna go set these up.
Throw this on the line.
But I have to suck it up,
and I need to just make sure that I
continue helping
and I get to work, get back at it.
[thunder rumbling]
[Malorie] I'm gonna re-hook my line.
This time I'm putting a whole fish,
live bait on it.
[Adam] Looks like we could get a bit of a storm come through.
[Lynsey] I can hear it thundering
off in the distance, so...
It's not clearing up.
Figured, just in case, we better make sure
we got some dry firewood in the shelter.
Okay, I'm coming in.
[Heather] Come on in, girl. Come on in.
I'm gonna set the caiman line.
[Adam] All right.
[Malorie] Thank you for waiting out here with me.
[Adam] Got to make sure you're okay.
[Adam] Let's go.
[Terra] Oh, good, more rain. Just what we needed.
-[Kaiela] I'm totally getting rained on. -[Lynsey] Yeah.
[Adam] It has started to bloody rain
like you wouldn't believe, say.
It is pouring down.
[Kaiela speaking]
[Lynsey] Freezing on this side. Good God.
Man, that wind, though.
Rude.
Oh, I'm getting it on this side.
Sideways rain. Oh, yeah.
[thunder rumbling]
[Lynsey] Is that Terra right there
cuddled up in a little ball?
I'm not cozy. I've got a...
I'm cold, and I've got a little bit of a headache going on.
I'm freezing.
[Heather] It is absolutely horrible. And look at this.
It is coming down.
Everybody has hunkered down, you can see.
And it is absolutely freezing.
I think it's got to be the coldest it has been.
I don't want any more of it.
Stop.
It is ridiculous.
It is a massive downpour.
And we're soaking wet.
I'm cold. I'm starting to get the chills.
And I'm afraid that
if I get hypothermia, like, I would go home.
And that would be devastating.
[thunder rumbling]
The fire wants to go out. I'm freezing cold.
The rain sucks.
-Lynsey's definitely over it. -Mother Nature sucks.
I'm over it.
I'm ready for day 40 to be here already.
Freezing my ass off!
I am so freaking cold right now.
I don't want any more!
[thunder rumbling]
Okay, now that the weather
seems like it's lightening up...
I'm gonna say seems
because I don't want to jinx it.
Um, my bad attitude has officially quit.
Finally starting to warm up a bit.
Our fire is going great.
My tootsies are finally warming up.
Um, that was brutal.
It's just so cold on my back.
I'm sure it's cold on your back, too, Kaiela.
[Kaiela] Yeah.
So,
been hunkered down in here,
trying to keep sane.
Our shelter is drenched,
and where we sleep is now drenched.
And, um, we all have the chills.
I just feel super weak.
I have absolutely no energy to move.
Trying to stay positive, but it's hard.
[Lynsey] Weeds. I'm tired of the [bleep] weeds.
Should have brought weed-less hooks.
These are the proving grounds here.
I do feel like I've learned so much
just on this challenge alone,
and learning how to find my own voice.
I mean, I know on my first challenge,
that was a huge problem for me.
I'm getting frustrated
because I don't have a knife.
He's got the knife.
And he's making freaking shoes.
[Darvil] I wish they were a little more comfy.
[Lynsey speaking]
Frankly, I don't really find it fair
that I have to get all the firewood.
And instead of saying anything to him,
I just sat there and stewed on it.
After I got back,
I went through a major divorce.
I had to learn to provide
for myself and for my kids.
And so I feel like
coming on this challenge was
me, like, reaching my next level.
[man] I want to sit here and say,
"You can do it. You can stay."
But at the same time,
I don't know if doing that would be good for you.
[Lynsey] How [bleep] dare you?
How dare you tell me
that I can go?
You learn to be stronger,
and you learn this strength,
and you learn to be this powerful individual,
because you don't have any other choice.
Go! Yes!
-[man] Ah. -[Lynsey] [bleep] yeah!
[all screaming]
[Lynsey] I just caught my first caiman, man,
and it feels so epic.
Literally the most
[bleep] amazing day of my life.
It's just awesome.
I feel like I have more than proved myself
in a survival sense
and in this primal sense.
But I still feel like I have to succeed
and make it out of it on top.
And it means everything to me
to make it through the 40 days in this challenge.
[Adam] I might head out and get a few things done around camp,
-get some wood and stuff. -[Malorie] Okay.
[Lynsey] I think I'm gonna come up with you.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Malorie] I'm gonna set the caiman line.
[Adam] All right.
[Malorie] I'm so glad Nathan got this wolf head.
We really needed one of these.
Tonight is gonna be our very last night
that we can get a caiman.
Tomorrow, I'm not gonna set caiman lines
because the next day we head out on our trek.
There will be no time
to process the caiman.
We need two days' worth of energy right now.
Set up a second line.
If we don't get a caiman tonight,
we're gonna head out on the longest hike
in XL history
with not very much protein.
This last caiman line is do or die.
Please give us a caiman.
We really do need a caiman.
[water splashing]
[Adam speaking]
[Lynsey speaking]
[Terra] We're about to go down
and check those caiman lines for the last time.
I really, really want
a caiman to be on that damn line down there.
[Lynsey speaking]
[Terra speaking]
[Adam] We're down checking the caiman lines.
Nate too as well.
It's cold and windy.
I'm just...
checking the line now.
Yeah, there's something on this line.
[Nathan] Nice!
Anything?
[Adam speaking]
It's just there's that much weed,
I'm trying to make sure I don't pull it off.
[Nathan] Give it a shot and see.
[Adam] [bleep] Nada.
[Terra speaking]
[Adam] Nah.
Nah. It's gone.
Bummer.
Yeah, that really sucks.
You know, we're really hoping for a caiman
because we're heading for this extraction. So,
a caiman would be ideal.
But...
[sighs] Damn.
[Lynsey speaking]
[Adam speaking]
[Lynsey speaking]
[Adam speaking]
[Heather] Ugh! Give me a break.
[Lynsey] We did not get a caiman.
We really needed the protein
and the energy to be able to get through this hike.
We've made it this far.
There's no such thing as quitting.
But I'm nervous. I'm really nervous.
I know I've got it mentally,
but I'm really worried about
the physical aspect of it.
You feeling okay, babe?
[Kaiela sniffles, cries]
[Lynsey] I'm sorry.
[Kaiela] We have to, like, do this big hike
and I just feel like [bleep]
[Lynsey] I know.
-[Kaiela sniffles] -[Lynsey] I'm scared, too.
Oops.
I'm super, super scared.
We're almost done, honey.
[Kaiela] I know. [sniffles]
I'm just like, I'm feeling like [bleep]
And I'm so [bleep] hungry.
[Lynsey] I know. I'm right there with you.
It's very, very hard to even take
20 steps, let alone hike miles.
[Kaiela] It [bleep] is hard sometimes.
[sniffles]
I'm so over it.
[Kaiela] I'm so over it.
[sniffles]
If it was any other day,
I'd probably just [bleep] tap today.
I'm over it.
And I'm super concerned about
this hike.
I'm concerned about all of y'all.
[Lynsey] I honestly feel like it's in all of us right now.
We probably all feel that way.
It's going to be hard.
You're going to have to dig deep
from a place that you've never [bleep] dug deep from before.
It just sucks, we've all come this far.
I don't want to see anybody go down
on the last day or second to last day.
[Heather] Neither do I.
[Adam] We're all getting to the end.
I'd love to just
help everyone if I can. And just
making sure
I can try to support everyone to get to the end
is like my goal now.
[Lynsey] It's going to be the hardest thing
that you probably ever did in your whole entire life.
But we're here because we deserve to be here.
I'm not trying to just be positive
and take away from our feelings.
We've got this mental grit. We've made it this far.
It will be hard. But we will do it.
I have got your back the whole entire time.
[Kaiela] Thanks.
[Lynsey] I'm right there with you.
[Kaiela] I think Lynsey is a badass.
She's a go-getter.
And she wants everybody to feel good.
So I have nothing but respect for that girl.
And she's an incredible,
incredible woman.
She's a force to be reckoned with.
[Lynsey] We are the wolf pack.
We've definitely gone through it before
many, many, many a times.
And we know that
as long as we prepare, we'll be okay.
-[Terra] Yeah. -[Kaiela] Okay.
[Lynsey] Yep. We got this.
[Terra] I'm headed out just to see if I can find
birds or anything.
I need to feed the tribe something.
Lynsey was like, "If you don't keep moving forward,
you might as well quit." And she's right.
I'll push through anything to make sure
that we will all
have enough in the tank
to get to extraction.
[whispering]
[in normal voice] Damn it.
That would have been an awesome shot, too.
[Malorie] So right here, guys, straight out,
I'm just gonna drop this line out there.
Just be vigilant of it.
I just don't want you to get all tangled up.
Nothing.
[Heather] At this far in the game,
the lake is the largest water source on the map
before extractions.
And it is the last chance of getting more fish.
So, this is the time to do or die,
because the game's almost over.
[Nathan] Anything?
[Adam] I know there's one of something in here.
Feels good to just have a little bit of protein
-in the belly anyway. -[Nathan] Oh, yeah.
[Terra whispering]
Okay.
[inhales deeply]
Damn it.
Aim small, miss small.
[Malorie] Come on, Badlands.
Give me a fish before we go. We need one.
At least a decent-sized one.
Ooh, I got a fish.
Hell yeah.
Finally.
Got another wolf fish here. So, um,
good. At least we have some protein.
Being this far in the challenge,
there are times where my body does get fatigued
or I start feeling weak.
And those are the times where I just have to just
dig deep within
and find that inner strength to keep moving forward.
As a single mother,
you know, I can't just quit. You can never quit.
No matter what life throws at me,
I can't just quit.
This isn't a tactic I just use out here.
This is a tactic I use to get through life.
I have to keep going. I have to stay mentally strong.
And I feel like that has prepared me
to be mentally strong in a situation like this.
This time I'm leaving your head on, dude,
'cause we're gonna eat your head, too,
'cause we need all the protein we can get.
Can't wait to get the hell out of here.
Freaking hellhole.
[Nathan] Gonna get a little firewood.
[Adam] I'll come with you, Nathan.
We have the huge hike
start tomorrow.
It is going to be
absolutely wild. It's gonna be brutal.
So, time to go
collect some more firewood before it gets dark.
Get ready to warm the fires tonight
because we gotta try to get the best sleep we can before tomorrow.
[Nathan] Snake.
Snake!
About that long, green.
Gonna see if I can get him.
-[Adam] He's moving. -[Nathan] Right there.
[bleep]
[Nathan] Snake!
Snake.
Hold still.
Got him.
[Adam] Nice.
You take his head off?
[Nathan] Don't know what he is.
It's always better to be safe than sorry.
[Nathan] All right. Got some protein.
[Adam] Hell yeah, mate.
That's unreal, mate.
The last few days,
we've been struggling to get protein.
So, this snake and the fish,
this is gonna be awesome
for protein and motivation.
[Nathan] Got a little protein.
[Lynsey] Nice snake, man.
[Nathan] Last day before extraction,
I got a nice snake.
Not a monster by any means.
But with the fish we got this morning,
even if it's not a big meal,
definitely boosts morale.
But the best part is
the innards were filled with
visceral fat.
[narrator] Visceral fat
surrounds such internal organs as the stomach and liver
and is higher in calories
than fat found directly under the skin.
[Nathan] So, it's not gonna fill everyone up by any means,
but it's definitely enough
to give us a little bit of protein,
a little bit of fat before we go on this big journey tomorrow.
-Got some visceral fat from him. -[Adam] Oh, heck, yes.
Yet again, Nathan's providing.
He is an absolute caveman. And it's not much,
but the motivation from this little bit of protein
is probably gonna be the biggest benefit.
-Hey, look at that, Nate. -Whoa, buddy!
I've never had snake before.
-[Terra] You've never had snake? -Never.
And I've... I've been wanting to.
You're awesome. [crunching]
Thank you very much, mate.
-[Shell] Cheers. -[Kaiela] Cheers.
Cheers.
[crunching]
-That's pretty delicious. -[Shell] Delish.
-[Kaiela] Mmm-hmm. -Mmm.
[Malorie] Check that out.
-[Lynsey] Hell, yeah, girl. -[Kaiela] Hell, yeah.
[Lynsey] We got a piece of snake over here for you, too.
Nate caught a snake.
[Malorie] He's gutted and scaled.
There's a hook in his mouth, but I left his head in case somebody wants to eat it.
-[Kaiela] Oh, yeah. -Grab your snakey and lay down.
[Kaiela] We'll eat the head, yeah.
[Adam] They look like some kind of dinosaur fish, eh?
[Kaiela] With the teeth? [mimics snarling and chomping]
Ah!
Okay, I just want the head.
[Lynsey] Hot.
So, it is nice to have the protein.
I really love the snake. I think it tastes delicious.
Um, I definitely wish there was more of it, of course,
but I think it's super awesome that Nate provided for us once again,
and so did Mal.
It's definitely not enough for all of us
to fill our stomachs, by any means.
But when you're this hungry, it's good for morale.
And, it, you know, boosts your mental game a little bit.
So, it was very much appreciated.
-[Malorie] Mmm-hmm. -[Heather] Well, this was a Hail Mary.
-[Kaiela] Yeah. -[Malorie] Yeah.
[Heather] This is an excellent Hail Mary.
[Kaiela] Yeah.
[Terra] Guys, tomorrow we hike,
and then, it's sleepy time,
then a little more hiking, and some food.
-[Heather] Yep. -[Terra grunts]
[Heather speaking]
[Kaiela] It is 9:38 pm,
and we wake up tomorrow morning
with our big full day
of trekking towards extraction.
And it's gonna be absolutely terrible,
and miserable, and tough, and we're all extremely nervous.
-[Malorie speaking] -[Heather speaking]
I want nothing more than to see all of us cross the finish line together.
But it's gonna be rough. With the badlands, you never know what to expect.
[Adam speaking]
[Malorie] Oh, yeah.
[Adam] Tomorrow is the start of the extraction hike.
It's gonna be the biggest, baddest one
that's ever been done on Naked and Afraid, which is quite daunting.
Not feeling great, but it's time to go.
Gotta do what we gotta do. So...
Try to get some sleep.
[Heather ] It is day 39, and we are about to trek out of here.
We're gonna start this two day extraction today.
Basically, I am looking down the barrel of hell today.
If I thought insertion was bad,
if we thought the last 39 days were bad,
combine that all together into one massive hike,
and that's what we're gonna be doing.
So, I am very, very nervous about what's gonna happen today.
I'm on my way to get our very last pot of water in this area.
Trying to hydrate right now
because it looks like we will be walking a lot.
[Lynsey] We are gonna take four half pots of water,
'cause full pots are just too heavy for us to carry.
-[Terra] We're all set. -[Kaiela] All set.
-All right. -I'm saying bye-bye to my shoes, unfortunately.
I wanted to bring them, but they've started to mold.
And they have literally fallen apart.
[Heather] Let's take a look at the map, guys,
just to know exactly one last time, what we're doing.
We're right here. We're gonna have to go across.
Then we gotta go through all this.
[Lynsey] Swim across the lake and at least try to make it,
-you know, as far as we can today. -[Terra] I agree.
-The farther we make it, the better. -[indistinct]
[Lynsey] And then we could have an easier hike in the morning.
-[Malorie] Yeah. -This is gonna be huge.
[narrator] After a difficult half mile swim across the lake,
the survivalists plan to trek through eight miles of dense jungle
before pushing another four miles into hill country,
in hopes of making camp in a patch of forest
near one of the area's only small water sources.
All right. That's the way we're gonna do it.
-Y'all ready? -[Adam] Yep.
-[all] Yeah. -[Terra] Let's go.
[Heather] It's gonna be a long swim, guys.
[Lynsey] Let's look at it as one piece at a time,
and our first goal just getting across the lake.
-[Malorie] Absolutely. -[Lynsey] And then, we will go from there.
-[Malorie] One challenge at a time, guys. -[Lynsey] Yes.
[Kaiela] My stamina isn't the greatest when it comes to swimming,
- especially obviously right at this point. -[Malorie] Okay.
[Kaiela] But, um, I'll just stick close to the raft.
-[Malorie] Okay. -[Kaiela] Yeah.
[Lynsey] Which way are we gonna cross?
[Kaiela] Probably straight across, I'm assuming.
[Lynsey] So, from the raft over there,
we're just gonna go straight across into the jungle?
-[Kaiela] Yep. -[Adam] Yeah.
[Lynsey] I feel like we're going through a whole, like, triathlon.
The swim across the lake is going to be exhausting.
To swim, and then, to turn around, hiking up mountains,
going through the jungle... It's going to be hell.
I'd be lying if I thought that it was going to be easy.
We are literally hiking more miles
than anybody has ever put on their feet in this challenge.
And I am kind of terrified.
[Adam speaking]
[Adam] Yeah, I think once it gets deep,
we're probably gonna struggle a little bit through this.
-That's my biggest concern. -[Lynsey] Yep. I'm swimm...
I'm swimming now.
[grunts]
[Shell] Oh, my God.
[Adam sighs]
[Lynsey] It's really hard to kick through the fricking weeds.
-[Kaiela] Yeah. -[Lynsey] Just when you think
you've broken free and you can swim,
-another weed grabs your leg. -[Malorie] Oh, yeah.
-[splashing] -[Malorie] Oh, my God.
[women grunting]
-[Adam exclaims] -[woman gasps]
[Lynsey] Don't pull it your way,
'cause then we're pulling against each other.
-Yeah, we need to push it my way-- -[Lynsey] Yeah.
...so the wind doesn't blow us too far past.
[Shell exclaims]
[Kaiela grunts]
[Kaiela and Malorie] Oh, my God.
[Lynsey] Who's pushing the boat?
-[Terra] I'm pushing the boat. -[Lynsey] Can we not push the boat?
-[Kaiela] Not so fast, please. -[Lynsey] It's getting ahead of us.
-It's heavy. -[Malorie] It's getting the rope
-tangled up and everything -[Lynsey] Yeah. It's making it harder.
-[panting] -[man exhaling sharply]
[Kaiela speaking]
-[Terra] Anybody touch? -[women] No.
-Still deep. -[all panting, grunting]
[exclaiming indistinctly] I can touch.
-We're hitting land, guys. -Whoo!
[whoops, gasps]
[Malorie and Kaiela] Oh, my God.
-[Nathan] Good job, everyone. -Nice job, team.
[Malorie] Oh, my gosh, yes. Great job, everybody.
[Kaiela] Yeah. Good job.
[exhales]
[Terra] We made it to the shoreline and everybody's safe.
That was my biggest concern.
[Kaiela] We can start passing stuff.
-[Nathan speaking indistinctly] -[Kaiela] Okay.
[Lynsey] I was worried about Nathan's raft getting it through the weeds,
but that thing was, like, a seriously godsend.
Like, it kept all of our water fresh.
It kept all of us afloat.
The raft was amazing.
[Adam exhales]
[Lynsey] But we're all exhausted already.
-[Kaiela] All right, let's take a minute. -[Shell] All right.
[Heather] I'm just gonna come up here and sit down for a minute,
'cause I'm feeling super nauseous.
[Terra] Yeah, take a rest.
To get out of the water and feel how burnt out I was,
and to know that we still have a huge hike in front of us,
it was starting to hit me, that, uh,
this is the long game. And it's pretty scary.
So, I'm really hoping that I can keep up with my team today.
[Adam] I guess we, uh, step into it.
-Let's go. -[Kaiela] Yeah.
All right, here we go.
Got a long way to go. We're just starting.
Going back in the jungle, guys.
[Heather groans]
I hate this.
I just got my teeth kicked in.
And we still haven't had to go through a jungle,
get eaten alive, probably get stripped to shreds.
Or razor grass, quite sure, 'cause that [bleep] out there.
I know that's gonna tear me apart.
-[Shell] Ouch! -[Terra] Watch your feet.
There's thorns right there.
[Heather] Oh, yeah. It's gonna be an undertaking.
[Terra] Jesus Christ, already.
[Kaiela] Ow! Yep.
-[Adam] Did one get ya? -[Kaiela] Yep.
[yells] And those vines have thorns.
Those green vines have thorns all over 'em.
[Adam] The reality is really setting in.
We're up [bleep] creek. This is gonna get way harder.
[Shell] Oh, my God!
-[rustling] -[woman groans]
[Kaiela] Ugh.
[Lynsey] Super, super swampy.
-[hissing] -[woman groans]
[Terra] Hell, it's thick in here.
[Lynsey] I fricking hate this place. It makes my skin crawl.
[Terra exhales]
We made it to the shoreline.
And everybody's safe. That was my biggest concern.
But it's taking forever to get through the jungle.
We've only covered a tiny little bit.
[narrator] After a half mile swim across the lake,
the survivalists have pushed a mile and a half into the jungle,
where they remain ten miles from their day 39 target,
and 17 miles from their day 40 extraction point.
[Lynsey] Thorns, thorns, thorns.
Ew, this swamp is nasty.
So, there could probably be fer-de-lance.
There could probably be other snakes,
and there could probably be rattlesnakes, too.
[Heather] Coral snakes as well.
[Lynsey] This is, like, their ideal location.
[narrator] Colombia has nearly 50 species of venomous snakes,
and up to 40 people die from snake bite each year.
The majority of these fatalities are from the fer-de-lance,
which are highly aggressive
and camouflage easily in the jungle brush.
I'm gonna cross this way.
I don't wanna go through... [hisses, exclaims] [bleep]
Try to cut this way. [hisses] Ow! Ow, ow!
-[Kaiela] It definitely takes longer to navigate. -[Adam] Yeah.
[Kaiela] Stepping over everything.
Takes a lot more energy. For sure.
[exhales]
[Malorie] Ants, ants, ants. Go quickly through this area, guys.
[Terra] These plants are covered in ants.
[Malorie] Ow, ow, ow. There's ants all over me.
Ow, ow, ow, ow. [bleep]
[Lynsey] You guys okay?
[Adam] They're like fire ants, there. Bloody hell.
[Lynsey] Yeah, they are like fire ants.
-They really burn. My feet are on fire. -[Malorie groans] Yeah.
[Terra] Ow.
[Malorie] Through the thick jungle with thorns and ants.
Like, just everything, every step is torture,
and it just feels like it's never ending.
[Adam] This is absolutely boggy as.
-[Kaiela] Yeah. -[Adam] I look like I'm wearing shoes of mud.
-[Kaiela chuckles] -[Adam] It's dense. It's thick.
I'm in pain. I'm in a lot of pain.
[Kaiela] We're all pushing ourselves harder than we've ever, ever,
-ever pushed our bodies. -[Lynsey] Harder than my divorce,
and I thought that was the hardest thing I had ever done in my life.
[Kaiela] Ow. [groans softly]
-Smashed my knee on that. -[Lynsey] Oh, Jesus.
-Are you okay? -[Kaiela] Yeah.
I am starting to question how much longer I could push.
I didn't wanna be the person that made us, you know,
stop sooner than everybody wanted to.
[Lynsey] My legs are getting just so heavy.
[Heather] I literally wanna cry.
[Kaiela] Trying not to cry.
Hey, can we take a break?
[Heather] Yeah, we need a break.
[Malorie] Man, I'm so exhausted.
[Shell] This seems like a good spot
to take a break for a minute and talk.
Oh, my God.
[Malorie] Oh, my God. I'm so exhausted.
[Kaiela] How you doing, girl?
-[Lynsey] I'm hurting. -[Kaiela] Yeah.
[Lynsey] I'm hurting really bad.
How you doing, boo?
[Malorie] I'm... I'm hanging in there.
-You? -[Kaiela] Same.
Trying... Yeah. Trying not to cry.
[Terra] Where's everybody at?
[Shell] I'm in pain. I'm wore out. I'm exhausted.
[Kaiela] My body is burnt out.
[Lynsey] I do not wanna spend the night in the jungle. I fricking hate this place.
I hate the thoughts of it, but...
If you guys are too tired to go on, too, like...
Well, we got water right there, guys.
[Lynsey] Let me look at it.
[Terra] Also, we got some thatching materials.
[Lynsey] Let's see if we can get to it. We got thatching material.
We got poles.
We can easily... This is a nice path.
We can easily get down to the water to get water here.
This is probably the most logical location for us to set up camp.
This has a water source right here.
That's something valuable that we all need,
especially after today.
So, this is where we're setting up camp.
I like this high ground, too, this hill that we're on.
I feel like we could literally put a fire somewhere in here on this hill.
[Terra] From looking at the map,
we wanted to go, like, a little past halfway,
but we haven't done that.
We're gonna hunker down here for the night.
I think this is a huge mistake.
I think if we have a rough night,
it is gonna be more difficult to hike tomorrow,
especially for some, including me.
So, I still feel like tomorrow is gonna be hard.
Well, let's get started.
-I'm gonna take a minute. -[Malorie] Yeah, I'm gonna take a break.
Sorry. I'm not ready to set up camp quite yet.
Can we get over there where you two girls are
to get between these two trees and start working?
-[Kaiela] Yeah. -[Terra] And I need some paracord.
[Nathan] We'll do a simple lean to,
because it's one of the simplest shelters to build,
and we don't wanna put too much effort into it,
considering that it is only for one night.
[Terra] Okay, can somebody start tying these up?
[Lynsey] You're just jumping the bit, just a little bit, my friend.
No, I'm trying to get [bleep] done.
[Lynsey] I know, but we just got here.
You're jumping the bit, just a little bit, man.
Give us a second.
[Terra] Somebody, start tying these up?
[Lynsey] We literally just got here.
Give us five minutes to rest.
I'm not asking you. I'm asking Nate, man.
It's [bleep].
[Terra] Somebody, start tying these up?
[Lynsey] We just got here.
You're jumping the bit, just a little bit, man.
Give us a second.
I'm not asking you. I'm asking Nate, man.
[Lynsey] It's [bleep].
We literally just got here.
Give us five minutes to rest.
And Terra was like, "We need to tie this up.
"We need to tie this shelter up."
And I was like, "Give us five minutes to rest, please."
Your tone is out of control.
[Heather] This environment is an environment that is designed to break you.
So, imagine someone trying to break your psyche
for 39 days,
and that's pretty much where we're at right now.
And when you're dealing with all the the weather, plus we're starving,
plus, we're dealing with other issues and personalities...
Yeah, everybody can be a little cranky.
Everybody can be a little off.
We're going to come down the back, slanted, as far as we can,
so everybody can probably fit under here.
[Terra] Lynsey and I, we kind of snapped back and forth at each other.
Not a big deal. It's been a long day.
It happens.
[speaking]
-[Lynsey speaking] -[Terra speaking]
[Lynsey] We've gotten past, like, this weird moment
where I can just literally tell Terra, like,
"Shut your trap. You're being rude."
We're like siblings, like, definitely siblings,
because it's like... I can be hard, and then, Terra can be hard,
but then, we can hug it out afterwards.
It's a good thing. It's a good relationship to have.
[Terra] Let's finish this.
[Malorie] All right, we got a fire going.
-[Adam] Good job, Malorie. -[Malorie] Thank you.
-[Terra] You okay? -[Malorie] Just tired.
After that long dreadful hike traveling through the jungle,
I'm struggling. It was exhausting.
And I feel like my body is betraying me right now.
But I know we're getting closer.
And I'm gonna get back to it.
I'm gonna cross that finish line.
[Terra] We just gotta make it through the night, guys.
[Adam] We're gonna sleep rough tonight.
At least we have something to protect us, somewhat.
But to be honest, we've got no energy.
Like, to build this shelter that quick,
and at least have something for the night?
I think that's pretty awesome.
It is night 39.
This location reminds me exactly of our first location,
which is absolute hell.
[Heather] Ooh, you son of a bitch!
-[thunder rumbling] -[Adam] We're getting soaked.
All of our wood is wet.
[Terra] Oh, my God. What am I doing?
Goddamn it!
-[Lynsey] You get bit by something? -[Terra] Yes.
[Lynsey] Yeah, [bleep]. Me too, and it hurt.
[Lynsey] We had bugs, and we had mosquitoes.
The bugs that were there are the worst that I've ever experienced.
The jungle sucks.
It literally gives me anxiety being back here.
We just wanna get through the night.
The quicker it can be morning, the quicker we can be done with this thing.
[Adam speaking]
-[Kaiela speaking] -[Malorie coughing]
[retching]
[retching violently]
-[Lynsey] Mal? -[Kaiela] Let me know if you need me
to bring you water, girl.
[Malorie coughing]
[speaking]
-[Lynsey] I won't, baby. -[Heather] No.
We're not going to. You'll be fine, baby.
You're fine. We're not calling anybody.
[Malorie retching]
[Kaiela speaking]
[Terra] Holy crap. The morning of day 40.
[Heather] Let's get out of here.
I'm gonna quickly ash up before we go.
[Lynsey] Let's make sure we get all our stuffs.
[Heather] Oh, I'm so glad to be getting out of here.
[Malorie] Last night, I was vomiting,
and this morning, I do feel a little nauseous.
And after that long, dreadful hike yesterday,
and not being able to sleep much last night,
I know that we need to get through this hike.
And today is day 40. It's not over yet.
We're not out of the woods yet. But I'm almost done.
I'm almost coming home.
[Lynsey] Same as we did yesterday. we got four half pots.
I am nervous about how long the hike is going to be,
how difficult that terrain is.
I certainly hope the sun doesn't start blaring.
It's gonna be really, really, really, really hard.
[Heather] All right, so we have made it to here.
-Now, we've gotta make it up to here. -[Lynsey] Yep.
We're still in the jungle, so we know we're there.
Right. We know we gotta get here.
So, we've got some miles we gotta put in.
[narrator] After falling five miles short of their day 39 target,
the group now faces the longest single day trek of the challenge.
12 grueling miles of exposed grasslands and steep hillsides
with a total elevation gain of over 1,000 feet,
and one final ascent to the hilltop extraction point.
[Kaiela] We'll take it slow, one step at a time.
We'll communicate and, uh...
We're gonna get there in one piece, all of us together.
I may be walking like an 80-year-old woman, but I'm gonna walk.
[Kaiela] Okay, uh-huh.
[Lynsey] It's gonna be hard.
[Lynsey] Ooh, it's hot.
[Malorie] That sun's a-beamin' today.
[Nathan] Oh, man.
[Terra] Oh, man. This sucks.
It feels like a damn desert.
[Terra] I come out and the first thing that happens is I feel,
I don't just see sunlight,
I feel sunlight on my skin.
It's starting to burn me basically immediately.
I don't know what's worse, the fire ants and the thorns in the jungle,
or the heat out here.
-[Adam] Yeah, pick your poison. -[woman] Right?
They both suck.
[Adam] We got lucky with the cloud yesterday,
-but yep, not today. It is scorching. -[woman] No, not at all.
[Lynsey] It's like Mother Nature gave us a break yesterday
just to say, "I got one more curveball for you today, ladies and gentlemen."
-[Adam] Might as well be walking on the Sun. -[woman] Yep.
[panting]
[Malorie panting]
[Terra] Watch your footing.
[woman] Careful, it's slippery.
[Terra] Yeah, very steep, very slick.
[Lynsey] I like the grass, but I do not like the pokey hard rocks under the grass.
-[Kaiela] Yeah. -[Lynsey] They like to sneak up on you.
[Terra] Take your time. Take your time.
[Kaiela] I definitely understand why they call this "the proving grounds."
[Lynsey] Yep.
[Heather] We are literally punishing our bodies,
and you've gotta realize the amount of miles that we're putting through,
after all of the deprivation and starvation
and malnutrition and agony and issues
that we put ourselves through for 40 days.
[exhales heavily]
-[Kaiela] It looks like here comes another hill my friends. -[woman groans]
Holy [bleep]. How are we gonna do this?
[Adam] These hills are bloody brutal.
-[Kaiela] Yeah. -[Lynsey] Yeah, they really hurt my thighs and my calves.
[Adam] I feel like my body is spent.
You know, I've got no fuel in the tank.
My legs are done. My feet are done.
We're covering some ground, but we still have miles to go.
There are no shortcuts here.
I can't even think about miles right now.
It's too daunting.
You know, I just gotta focus on one step at a time.
Freaking brutal.
[Heather sighs] Shaky legs going down this thing's not good.
It's like, I'm gonna fall.
[Shell] Watch out for all these rocks.
There's quite a few of 'em just kind of sticking up.
-[Heather] Ooph! Oh. -[Lynsey] Ooh, are you okay?
[Lynsey] You okay, Heather?
-You okay, Heather? -[Heather crying] I'm so [bleep] over this.
[Shell] I know. I know, girl.
-[Heather groaning] -[Shell] I know, I know, I know.
And I'm so [bleep] over this! [sighs]
Yeah, I know.
-We're so close. -[indistinct chatter]
[Heather crying] I hate this!
-What'd you do? Did you hit it on a rock? -I hit it on a stupid rock.
-[Lynsey] She totally tripped. -[Shell] Which foot, that one?
[Heather] No, it's this one.
[Adam] Heather stubbed her toe pretty bad, she's emotional right now.
Every time we're out in the plains,
you know, something seems to happen.
She gets pretty banged up.
But Heather is pushing her body to the extreme limit right now.
She's struggling, and I'm concerned.
I'm really concerned for her right now.
All right, you got it, girl.
[Heather] My whole body is ready to collapse.
I don't think I've been in this much pain ever, having to walk.
Any time at home I felt like this,
I literally curled up in bed or called a doctor.
It'd be easy to just give up and then not have any more pain.
But then, what have I accomplished,
other than being a person that's a quitter?
[Lynsey] I know one thing about you, you're not a quitter.
[Adam grunting, crying]
[sobbing]
[Heather] I love you.
[Lynsey] Your body's not done. We're almost there, man.
[Heather] Thank you, Adam. That really means a lot coming from you.
I love you.
[Adam] Heather's pain and her determination to get to the end,
that brought me to tears.
And you know what? It just, it showed me
how much respect I have for Heather,
and I broke down.
[crying]
[woman] It's all right, man.
This is the perfect time to get emotional.
There's no other time to get emotional like...
-That's fine. It's fine... -[Heather] The littles are gonna love to meet you, man.
[Lynsey] Yeah, I think this warrant's emotional.
[Adam] It's just bloody inspiring to me, that's all.
[contestants sighing, panting]
[woman] So brutal.
You know, we're all thirsty, we're all beat.
But I've got that military mindset to just keep going.
Never stop, never surrender.
Everything that I've had to go through,
the dirty water, the scarce food,
the cold nights, the rainy nights,
the days where it's so hot
and UV is blastin' on you so hard,
this place is beyond brutal.
This is the true [bleep] .
If you want to do an XL, this is the XL
that really shows who the [bleep] can take it and who can't.
-[Malorie retching] -[Shell] You okay?
[woman 1] Malorie is puking.
[woman 2] Mal, are you okay?
[woman 3] Oh, go get her.
[Malorie continues puking]
[Kaiela] You're good. Yeah, just keep breathing. Keep breathing.
[Malorie puking]
-[Shell] You okay? -[Malorie heaving]
[woman] Malorie is puking.
[Malorie continues puking]
[Kaiela] You're good. Yeah, just keep breathing. Keep breathing.
[Shell] You got it, girl.
She's suffered, honestly, probably more than anybody else out here has.
And she's definitely a stronger person than I am in so many different ways.
And quite honestly, if you give somebody,
like, the MVP award, she'd get it.
And I think I'm not the only one who would say that.
-You got it, girl. We're right there. -[woman] You got this, Mal.
[Shell crying] It's been a privilege to be by her side this whole time.
I don't know if I've ever met or known someone like her.
-Yes, Mal, yes! -Come on.
-All right. -[Adam] Yes, Mal. Five of the toughest ladies
ever put on this bloody planet right here!
[Heather panting]
I hope we're almost there.
[Lynsey] I don't know. My brain is awfully out of it.
And my cognitive skills suck right now
because I've been surviving out here for 40 days.
And so it's hard to trust my own judgment,
to be completely honest. But I got a feeling, man,
and that feeling tells me we're close, and that's good enough for me.
I'm listening to my feeling.
[Terra] I've been through some really difficult stuff in my life.
I've been through some really painful stuff in my life.
And usually alone. But 40 days out here,
this is the most difficult challenge I've ever had to do.
[Lynsey] Here we go. We're getting close, guys.
It's all eight of us. It's the remaining eight. We are the wolf pack.
[Terra] But when you find people that actually are your tribe,
and they, you can feel that love from strangers
that you've only known for the last 40 days now,
that can help you, help me, to survive out here.
[panting]
[Lynsey] It's one foot in front of the other.
[Heather] Oh, gosh.
[Terra] I feel like I've learned no matter how bad it gets,
it's better if you keep your morale high
and get through the challenge together as a tribe
with power.
[Kaiela] You got it. We got it.
[Terra] I think this is, this is our goal.
[emotionally] You guys, I see it over the mountain.
There's a vehicle right there coming to get us.
[all cheering, clamoring]
-[woman 1 screaming] Ah! -[woman 2 screaming] Whoo-hoo!
[Adam] Holy crap.
-[Terra] We did it. -[Lynsey] We made it! We made it! We made it!
-[Malorie] Yes, everybody! -[woman 3 crying] This was so hard.
-[woman 4] It was so hard and we did it. -[woman 5] Yes.
-[woman 6] Yes, you guys! -[overlapping chatter]
Thank you, Colombia, you beautiful, brutal bugger!
You kicked our backsides,
but I loved it.
This was more than a 40-day XL to me.
This was the next step in my rite of passage into life.
And having achieved that,
I can look back every day and think about this moment
and be proud of myself.
Whoo!
-[all cheering] -[Lynsey] Whoo!
[Malorie crying] It really was hard, but I did it for myself.
And one thing I did learn out here is that
it is okay to not have to
carry the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It is okay to accept help.
It is okay to ask for help.
That doesn't make me any less of a woman than I am.
This isn't weakness. I'm not showing weakness.
These are tears of joy.
[man yells] Yeah!
-[all cheering] -[Nathan] We did it.
I came into the challenge with concerns about
meeting and working with total strangers
due to my condition of Asperger's syndrome.
But the entire tribe, they were quite supportive.
And not only that, they gave me the energy
that I needed to keep me going through the challenge.
I love you, man.
-[woman crying] It was so hard -[Nathan] I love you too.
The tribe shared in their activities,
all working towards a common goal.
And that's something we don't do a whole lot in the modern world.
Everyone's kind of off doing their own thing, working their own jobs.
And we rarely work together.
-[contestant] Whoo! -We're family. We're family.
[crying] So, that's why I think it's important
that everyone experience something like this in their lives.
[Adam] Time to go! [howling]
It's official, three for three. No-tap Heather.
Eighty-two days and challenges.
I did 21 days in South Africa.
I did 21 days in Castaways without bringing a single item.
And then I just spent 40 days in the proving grounds, the badlands.
And I've always been a fighter.
I've been fighting since I was a little girl.
My heart is just swelling with pride.
[Adam yells] We made it!
-Let's go! Come on. [laughing] -[Malorie] Let's go! [indistinct]
[Kaiela] I'm here in the proving grounds,
and I know that I've more than proved myself.
And I deserve to be here just as much as the greats.
I've earned it.
It's been absolute hell, and we all can't wait to get out of here.
But there is a part that is sad...
[crying] ...that we're not gonna have this.
And, like, I think we've all just really gotten what we needed
to get out of this, and it makes me so happy.
[Shell] Happy to have completed this incredibly difficult challenge.
And it's one of the hardest things that I've ever done in my life,
to be here with all these wonderful female survivalists.
None of us tapped, you know? We're all here at the end,
which has never been done before.
And so that is definitely accomplishment.
[Terra] I think I've grown tremendously on this challenge.
Coming out here showed me that I can be myself around people
without having to worry about
them laughing at me, gawking at me,
telling me I'm doing something wrong.
All of these people that came out here, my new family,
taught me so much about my social perspective.
It's something I can't ever forget now.
I was just myself, and it was great.
It was fun. I loved it. I loved every minute of this experience.
[Lynsey] I'm so happy to have you guys as much as my original three.
-[Terra] The original trio. -I wouldn't imagine doing it with anybody else.
-The original trio is in the back of this truck. -[Lynsey sniffling]
The only three that made it all the way through.
[Lynsey] This is the badlands. This is the proving grounds.
I needed to do this to prove to myself that I'd belonged here.
And now I can truly say that I belong here,
and I deserve to stand here with these other survivalists.
And I wish everybody in the world could experience that feeling
because it's the most humbling, most amazing feeling
that a person, I think, could ever feel
when you go through that much suffrage,
and you're trying so hard to just make it and just survive.
[crying] It's something that just doesn't compare to anything else.
I feel like I worked so hard and I proved this.
I think I proved every part of it.
I proved myself here, and I deserve to be here,
and I deserve to stand among, like, the great survivalists.
And it's freaking awesome, man.
-Snack tax! -Yeah, baby!
Chocolate, chocolate cupcake!
[singing] ♪♪ Can't wait to watch my tribe eat!♪
[all cheering, howling]
-[woman] Oh, my God! -Oh, yeah!
We made it 40 days and now we feast!
This is the taste of victory.
Time to get shaved clean!
[woman] Welcome home!
[indistinct cheering]
I'm hungry.
The lady looked at me like I was crazy when I ordered it.
I was like, "You have no idea!"
[man] Journey of 40 miles begins with one step.
[narrator] In order to prove themselves
in the 40-day, 40-mile challenge,
the survivalists took different paths across the badlands.
Which took significant tolls on their bodies.
[sighs]
[Kaiela] Freakin' brutal.
[groaning loudly]
[narrator] From her day one insertion point,
Kaiela trekked to four different water sources on her way toward extraction.
Covering a total of 42.9 miles in the process,
and losing a total of 15 lb.
[yells] I hear people!
[narrator] From their starting point to the north,
Terra's path for resources led south, then east,
eventually covering a total of 46 miles,
and a loss of 36 lb.
[puking]
-[Adam] You all right? -[Heather] No!
[narrator] Heather's many difficult treks across
the sun-scorched grasslands led to a total mileage count of 43.4 miles,
and a total loss of 35 lb.

-[Malorie] Oh, my God. -[Adam] Oh, yeah!
-[Kaiela] Wow! -[Lynsey] Oh, yeah!
-Whoo-hoo! -Oh, my God.
-[all clamoring, cheering] -Oh, my God.
-[Kaiela] You got your sushi. -[woman] Looks delicious.
[Malorie and Lynsey] Sandwiches!
Look at the tacos!
-[Terra] Oh, my God, bacon! -French fries!
-[Lynsey] Nisperos, that's real funny. -[Heather] There's nisperos.
-That's really funny, -[Nathan] I'll take one.
[Lynsey] Of course you would, Captain Nispero.
[Malorie] I'm just so happy right now.
-[fake crying] -Olives!
Thank you, jungle gods.
[woman] I don't know what this is, but I want it.
-[Lynsey] I'd like to raise a toast... -Yeah.
...to the most wonderful people in the whole entire world.
We made it 40 days, and now we feast!
-[all cheering, howling] -[Lynsey] Cheers to you!
-[Malorie with mouthful] Yes. -[woman laughing] Yeah!
This is the taste of victory.
-[Kaiela laughing] -[Lynsey] Oh, my God.
-Wow. -These are the best tacos I think I've ever ate.
Everything is so hard to describe now.
-But... -And you appreciate every single bite.
-[Terra] Yeah. -[Nathan] It's like an explosion
-of unused nerves firing. -Positively phenomenal.
Just the appreciation for the things we take for granted,
-and the flavors we take for granted. -Oh, yeah.
It's like, "Is it actually this good, or is it just..." I don't know.
I'm gonna have to reel in how savage I eat when I get home.
Right now, I just don't care.
I'm about to eat this taco, though, and have a little bit of a food orgasm.
You can watch that happen.
[happily] Mmm! Hah!
Time to get shaved clean!
Definitely need a little brushing.
Oh, yeah. They are nispero-stained.
Oh, my God.
I lost 35 lb.
Now I see it.
Check out this badass thing they gave me.
[humming] Giant loofah.
I'm gonna shore up this
Rob Zombie meets Willie Nelson [bleep] I got going on.
Seeing myself for the first time in the mirror,
I look terrible. I look horrible.
Why didn't anybody tell me I look like this? Jeez.
Oh, yeah, look at that!
Dirt.
Even without soap, a lot of mud is coming off.
Facewash!
This is what I look like clean, in case you were wondering.
Oh, my God. These shorts perfectly fit before.
[laughs]
[contestant cheering] Whoo!
On the way back home.
The adventure is over for right now.
And I can't wait for the next one.
I'm so proud of these women and men and individuals that I'm with.
Honestly, this was the best experience of my life.
And then tomorrow morning, I'm on a plane
and I'm going to see my littles and nothing's gonna stop me.
[tires screech]
Just landed in Texas, finally.
Adventures are great, but it's always good to come home.
Welcome home!
So glad you're back!
Look who's here!
[laughing]
[woman] Nathan's here. Nathan's back!
[laughing]
[woman] Aw, she missed you so much.
-[indistinct chatter] -[woman] Aw!
-[turkeys gobbling] -[Shell cheering]
Happy hatch day, baby.
I came home and chopped the unidread
...out of my hair, so now, I've got short hair, see?
Short. And I have chicken.
Say hi, chicken.
-[Lynsey laughing] -Mom!
Hi! [indistinct]
-I missed you. -Aw.
I'm hungry.
The lady looked at me like I was crazy when I ordered it.
I was like, "You have no idea!"
I made it back to Mobile.
[woman speaking]
-[Terra] You? -[both laugh]
I'm gonna be hanging out with my daughter
and we're about to go get what?
-Froyo! -How much?
As much as you want.
[Malorie] I've been wanting this the whole time,
and I'm having it with my little loves!
Hi!
[Malorie] And my princess.
Missed my kids so much.
[Kaiela] I can't wait!
I'm like, already gonna cry.
[indistinct chatter]
This is nice. Love you both.
-[man laughing] -Mmm-hmm.
[Heather] When you come back and try to get your toes done
after you're finished, the show,
and they have to use a drill
to try to get all of this stuff off your toes.
Like, that's how bad it is.
Ha-ha!
I've been back in my hometown of Blackwater,
and doing a lot of fishing.
Actually, I'll let this guy go.
I've been getting lots of family time in,
which was one of the biggest takeaways
for me in Colombia, was how much I miss my family.
So I've been making the most of that.
I feel I learned so much from being out there
in the Colombian badlands.
And if anything, my passion for being in nature
is just, like, massive.
And I am ready for the next adventure.
