16x03 - Broke Back Jungle

[bunniefuu]

[Frank] I've been
watching Naked And Afraid

since it came out.

I've always wanted to
be the guy in this boat,

and now here I am. It's my turn.

[Sara] As a huge fan, I
actually never thought

I would be on the show,

so I'm just filled
with gratitude.

But also aware
that I have no idea

what I'm getting myself into.

[narrator] Super-fans
Sara and Frank

will attempt to survive
on the island of Tobago,

off the east coast
of South America.

A tropical, dense jungle

built on the jagged
teeth of volcanic rock,

and crawling with
venomous centipedes,

poisonous scorpions,
biting black engine ants,

and hoards of swarming,
blood-sucking mosquitos.

[Sara] I'm confident I can
make it 14 days out here,

but look at it! It's not
a good place to live.

[Frank] I just
wanna get out there

and then prove to
myself that I can do this.

It's about to happen.

[Sara] Oh, nice! I see a raft.

[Frank] Time to get
naked. I'm ready.

[Sara giggles]

I feel fine being naked.

We all have, you know,
some insecurity, but my body

is not a temple.

It's like a rocket ship that
is made to get [bleep] done.

[Frank] Being out here with
another naked woman, my wife,

she's got nothing
to worry about.

I'm all hers. [chuckles]

[Sara] Cheehoo!

Aw, yeah. That's great.

[Frank] The wait is over.

It's happening.

I've been training
for this my whole life.

Primitive hunting is
one of my best skills,

and hunting successfully
with primitive traps.

That's gonna be dinner.
Probably gonna chicken-fry him

or make tacos,
something out of him.

I see anything close enough
I can run down in a foot race,

I am putting these hands on it.

Ribbit.

[narrator] Frank brings
a no-nonsense approach.

But his small
game hunting skills

will be severely tested
in this environment.

He begins with a
Primitive Survival Rating,

or PSR, of 5.7.

[Sara] As the shore gets closer,

so does reality of
what's about to happen.

I'm here to strengthen
my relationship with myself.

I want the experience
of being out there,

connecting with my primal roots.

I've been doing it since
I was a kid in Hawaii.

So beautiful. It's
a double rainbow.

I've always been
weird and kinda silly.

I worked through undergrad
to pay for circus school

and then I became a
solo circus performer,

and have toured
the world doing it.

Most of my life has been solo.

I travel solo.

I think one of the biggest
challenges is gonna be

the flexibility with
whoever my partner is.

See ya!

[narrator] Sara
has spent a lifetime

practicing her primitive skills,

but her quirky
independent nature

could impact her survival
in a team situation.

Sara's initial PSR
has been set at 5.2.

[Sara] Oh!

[Frank] I guess we're partners.

That's so funny. I'm Sara.

- Frank. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, Frank.

Shall we, like, get
this out of the way?

Like, this is my naked body.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Cool. Let's...

There we are. All right.

This looks pretty rugged.

[Sara] Yeah, how's this
environment for you?

Eh, I'm pretty...
pretty confident in it.

- Yeah. Same.
- But it's not gonna be easy.

Where are you from?

- I'm from Jacksonville, Florida.
- Oh, great.

So you're used to the weather.

- Yeah.
- Awesome. I'm from Hawaii.

- So I'm... yeah.
- You're used to the weather.

- I think we're coming in from good spots.
- Okay, yeah.

- All right. Let's do it.
- For the next 14 days in Tobago.

- Cool. Yeah.
- I guess we find our bags now and...

Nice. Guess this is mine.

I got a cast net.

- And we got this machete.
- Nice.

[narrator] In addition
to their personal items,

Sara and Frank are
provided with a fire starter,

a pot, and a map.

[Sara] So, looks
like there's a stream.

- Some bamboo.
- Yeah.

That's great for shelter,

- and food. We got...
- Absolutely. Yeah.

[Frank] I guess we're
gonna come down the creek

to the bamboo?

- [Sara] Yeah.
- That would be extraction.

All right, you ready to do this?

- I'm so ready, dude.
- All right.

I would chest-bump you,

- but we're not there yet, you know?
- Yeah.

- Give it a couple days.
- Yeah.

- Well, after you. Yeah.
- All right, thanks.

[Frank] Sara is my partner.

14 days out here.

I think I hit the partner lotto.

I'm immediately
comfortable with her,

and it's not always
easy to get that.

Do you wanna go on the
shore or just cut through there?

- Let's cut through here.
- [Sara] Yeah. All right.

[narrator] Sara and Frank
enter the Tobagan jungle

home to aggressive
spectacled caiman,

who use 75 razor-sharp
teeth to catch their victims,

and menacing boa constrictors.

While not venomous,
they can deliver

an extremely painful bite

as they squeeze the
life out of their prey.

It's also the rainy season,

when 90-degree temperatures
by day can quickly give way

to violent
thunderstorms by night,

causing flash floods,
lightning strikes,

and falling trees.

[Frank] Ow!

Oh [bleep].

Yeah, these rocks
are rough on my feet.

This is gonna be a rough
go no matter how we slice it,

- isn't it?
- Yeah.

[bird calling]

[Frank] Everything's
so thick here.

- [Sara] It's super-dense.
- Super-dense.

[Sara] Yeah. And, uh, the
bugs are starting to come out.

[flies buzzing]

[Frank] These [bleep] bugs.

[Sara] Being naked out here,

I don't know how
that's gonna go.

It's hot, it's humid.

Like, there's things crawling
all over me right now.

There's stuff
crawling by my butt.

There's all these things

that on TV you
don't even really see

that we're feeling
all over our bodies.

These damn flies.

They're mowing down on my boys,

and... [laughs] it's brutal.

That's the hazards of
being naked in a jungle.

[Sara laughs]

Whoa.

- Yeah.
- Mega bamboo.

[Frank] Look at
all these resources.

Whoa. This is perfect.

- [Frank] It is.
- I think this is great.

[Frank] We got tons of bedding.

- Yeah.
- Tons of bamboo

for building, making
traps, making everything.

[Sara] I think this is home.

- [Frank] Think this is home?
- It feels good.

[Frank] I'll cut some of these

and we'll get a
A-frame going right here.

[Sara] So far with Frank,
stoked. Great partner.

We're both completely focused

on our priorities, and
there's no BS, you know?

It's just - get it done.

- Guess we decided.
- Cool.

Home sweet bushes.

- Over there.
- Home sweet bush.

[Sara] Priority number
one is getting off the ground.

Even if we don't
sleep all night,

we cannot be on the ground.

There's ants everywhere,
it's wet, there's bugs.

Off the ground, number one.

Pretty good.

We got a few
hours of daylight left.

Before we finish the shelter,

we're gonna get fire and
we're gonna get water.

There you go. Come
on. Come on, come on.

Come on!

[Frank] That's a fire.

- It's definitely a fire.
- It's definitely a fire.

I got fire. Cheehoo!

- How you feeling, Frank?
- Feeling pretty good.

Look at this.

- Frank's making the bed.
- Little fire. Yeah.

Little hot. Oh, my God.

I am so happy I got that fire.

Time to get some water going.

We need to finish the shelter

and just keep
baby-stepping our way up

for the first night.

- Ooh, this is a good one.
- Yeah.

We've got these
broad leaf plants,

like birds of
paradise type things.

They got nice,
wide, long leaves.

They look excellent
for building material.

Put a roof on,

in case it starts raining,

we can at least
somewhat stay dry.

[Sara] I am mentally prepared

to go through some really
tough weather out here,

ferocious storms. I'm gonna
batten down the hatches

and use every resource I can

to have a strong shelter.

All right, this is really
starting to come together.

Look at that.

- This looks great.
- Water.

- Yeah.
- This is beautiful.

This is a beast of a shelter.

[Sara groans]

Oh, God.

[Frank] It looks
great. It looks comfy.

I think we crushed it.

[Sara sighs contentedly]

[Frank] Seriously?

[both laugh]

[Sara] You wanna go up
to that bend and explore?

- See if we can get some firewood?
- Yeah.

Oh, look at that huge lizard.

[Frank] Yeah, it's a big lizard.

[Sara] Are you gonna get it?

[bleep] get it, dude.

Can you see?

- [Sara] Oh, I see, he's...
- Where? Okay.

Right where you're
point... Uh, up a little.

Right there, that's
its mid-section,

on the exact opposite
side of the tree.

[Frank] Can you see?

- [Sara] Oh, I see, he's...
- Where? Okay.

Right where you're
point... Uh, up a little.

Right there, that's
its mid-section,

on the exact opposite
side of the tree.

Right in front of you.

You got it.

- Dude!
- Yes.

This guy is insane!

My partner's a bad-a*s.

Super-impressed by Frank.

He caught a lizard,

and he incorporated
me in the process.

Like, he wasn't
conceited about it.

He's like, "Hey, help me out,
where do you see the lizard?"

He caught it like a
Floridian lizard ninja.

He's got skills, for sure.

- [Sara laughs]
- Oh.

- Caught him twice.
- Oh, my gosh.

[animals calling]

[Sara] My kick-a*s partner

got us a little lizard on
the stove/fire already.

I think we're doing really good.

As I'm reflecting I'm
like, "You know what?

Yeah, this is a
great place to be."

The first day out here.

- That's for you.
- The whole tail?

- Yeah.
- Thanks.

[softly] Aw, yeah.

- Lizard back... Ooh! Dang.
- Oh, my goodness.

Awesome when you can
just peel strips of lizard,

lizard meat off the carcus.

[Sara] Mmm-hmm,
mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.

I gotta be real with you,
lizard toes? Pretty good.

- [Frank] Right?
- Huh.

I have meat stuck in my teeth.

[chuckles]

- That's a good feeling.
- It's a great feeling.

Mmm! That was great.

I want about 10 of those a day.

Oh, I know.

Yeah, the bats
are out, so, uh...

[Sara] Well, at least they
can help eat mosquitos.

[Frank] Yeah. It's not gonna
be long before it's dark.

Night one in the unknown.

[Sara] Everything about
life feels itchy right now.

It's crazy. We're in a jungle.

We're in the middle
of freakin' Tobago.

- Yeah.
- It's rough out here.

- Everything's on my body.
- Yeah.

There's so much stuff

- that crawls on you here.
- So much stuff.

[Frank] My ankles are ate up.

- Can't even see it.
- [Sara] Ate up.

[Sara] No smooth
spots on the ankles.

[Frank] They're hitting
below the belt here.

[Sara] Literally.

I got a bite right on my...
Like, right on my nipple.

[Frank] Yeah. That's horrible.

It's everything I
hoped for and more

out of this challenge, just...

nipple bites and good
company. [laughs]

[Frank] I got my stick.

- Got my net.
- All right, let's...

- Let's go to the beach.
- Let's go to the beach.

Sara and I have been
working our butts off,

and we're gonna need
to replenish that energy.

I brought this cast net
and I'm itching to try it out.

It's gonna be a hike down there

and a hell of a hike back.

That's basically our
insertion hike twice.

But it's... it'll be worth it

if we can score some protein.

Look at that water.

I just wanna get in it.

[Sara] That's slippery!

[Frank] Yeah.

I can smell fish.

All right, I'm gonna go
work on some firewood

before the tide comes up.

I'm just gonna
grab whatever I can.

[Frank] Okay.

The strongest skills I have are

definitely hunting and fishing.

I have done a lot of
research on the local fish here.

I'm definitely the
right man for this job.

I see fish.

All right.

Let it sink.

Hopefully it's not tangled
up on nine million rocks.

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Protein.

I'll take it.

It's freakin' protein.

It's not a big fish,

but if I can get four
or five of 'em today,

I mean, that's gonna
go a long way for us.

That's a big score.

Even another one.
We're gonna be okay.

Now let's try to get some more.

Let's get some stuff
to start our fire with.

Everything is wet,
so my job right now is

to look out for dry
material and keep us going.

It's tempting to grab more,
but limited carrying capacity,

so I'm gonna break this up,

and if I can, I'll wrap these up

so we have a little bundle.

[Frank] Here we go.

[sighs]

Got 'em. Did you see that?

[Sara] Is that a fish in there?

- [Frank] I got two.
- Nice.

There's the first one

hanging from the
tree like an ornament.

[squeals] Ah! Little fishy!

That's so good.

I entered this trip
down to the beach

with no expectations.
That's how I roll.

I couldn't be happier.
I'm so proud of Frank.

I got a few snails.
They're not...

- Bring 'em. We'll make a stew.
- Yeah?

We'll put all of this in a stew

- and eat like kings tonight.
- Okay.

[Sara] It is dinner time, baby!

[Frank] Yup.

Got fish.

[Sara] We got
some edible greens.

Man, this smells freakin' good.

Sara came up with
these papaya leaves.

We chopped them up,

and then put them
in with the fish to boil.

That papaya leaf.

- [Sara] Is it great?
- It's great.

[Sara] Mmm.

I just got a chunk of fish.

Probably a
square-centimeter chunk.

- It's not big, but...
- No, it's good.

[Sara] The fish soup is amazing.

All of a sudden
we have vitamins,

we have protein, we have oil.

It was a huge
trek. My back hurts.

But it was totally worth it.

I really did not expect
somebody with your skillset

and your humility, and I, like,

swear to God,
could not be happier.

[Frank] Bringing
it in as a team.

- [Sara] The dream team.
- Absolutely.

- Really good.
- Yeah.

[Sara] Bugs are
way worse tonight.

[Frank] Oh, my God,
they're everywhere.

[Sara] I can barely think.

It's so itchy.

[flies buzzing]

[Sara] We ashed the
bed with bamboo ash

because that's what you
do to keep bugs away.

But it's like microscopic
piece of glass

- all over your body.
- Yeah. Fiberglas.

- [Frank] It sucks.
- Yeah.

We are unable to sleep.

All I could do was
sit there and itch.

[Sara] Yeah.

[groans] My butt is on fire.

I don't even know
what's biting my butt.

[groans]

[Frank] Tired. I wanna sleep.

[flies buzzing loudly]

[animals calling]

[Sara] I'm gonna
take all this ash off.

That turned it into

- our worst night last night.
- Yeah.

[Frank] Last night was rough.

It was a huge mistake
to put the ash in the bed.

Uh, I've used
hardwood ash before,

but never bamboo ash.

It's got these hairs in it,

and when you burn it,

the hairs are still there
and they are still itchy.

[Sara] It was possibly
the worst night out here.

[Frank] It was, hands down,

the worst night so far.

It was brutal. I ended
up sleeping on the floor,

which was not good for my back.

Basically from
my waist to my hip

on my left side is in spasm.

Extremely
uncomfortable, physically.

So we're gonna keep mudding up,

help protect us
from the buggies.

'Cause this bamboo
ash paves the road to hell.

It's horrible.

How hungry are you, Frank?

I'm pretty hungry.

After we catch 87
crawdads in here,

you'll be like, "Oh, damn."

[Frank] I would love to be

at the beach every
day catching fish,

but it's a rough hike.

You know, it takes
a lot out of you.

You get down there, then
you gotta get your haul back.

It's a double-whammy.

On the agenda for today,

we're gonna be
setting some traps.

Sara's making a crawdad trap.

Found some crab holes,

and I'm gonna get
busy getting them.

You know, a big protein
score, that'd be awesome.

This is just like
any other box trap.

Get your two holes,

the trap door, and
this would be the dog.

When the crab crawls
in here, it'll hit the dog,

releasing the trap door.

But this is a
power-assisted one.

With some vine,
I'll make a little bow.

It doesn't take very much
power to keep a crab in.

It's at an angle, so
the more he pushes,

the harder it locks in.

And that's kinda the
secret to the whole trap.

And hopefully we'll
get some land crabs

here in Tobago.

All right, crawdad trap.

I'm just gonna lightly
attach this one in.

And anything that size
or smaller can get in,

and they don't know
how to turn around.

They stay and then
they go in our belly.

That's the plan.

[Frank] See all this new dirt?

It's muddy. This is
definitely an active hole.

We're gonna set
this trap right here,

and hope for the best.

All right.

Oh, I see one. Ooh.

Big one.

All right, gonna put it in here.

I'm just gonna weigh
this down with some rocks,

and then come back and check it

in hopes of craw-diddy-dads.

That one I saw was really
big, so that's a good sign.

[thunder rumbling]

[Frank speaking]

I am going to go
check the crab traps.

[Sara] Think I'm
just gonna lie down.

I'm okay.

- Hmm?
- Yeah, good for a bit.

[Frank] Last night
we didn't get no sleep.

The storm rolled in.

We got some pretty
good lightning and thunder.

And right now my partner's
going through some stuff.

She's in a lot of pain.

She doesn't really
talk about it a whole lot,

but she doesn't have
to. I mean, it's apparent.

[Sara breathes deeply]

Oh...

I'm dealing with a
lot of pain right now.

On a scale of one to 10,
I'm, like, a seven or eight.

Right after undergrad,

I went to circus
school in Beijing.

I was studying contortion,
and I broke my back.

And it is as awful as it sounds.

I'm healed and I can move around

and I'm very fit and active.

[sighs]

I've been managing
the pain really well.

I know when to rest.

But in a situation
like this challenge,

I don't have time to rest.

We're up all night,

dealing with bugs and
the wind and the rain.

It's physically taxing.

But all I can do is suck it up.

Figure it out. Keep moving.

Damn. Nothing.

[Frank] We've
had a little protein,

but not enough, and
protein's a huge thing.

I mean, we're gonna need that.

Our bodies, our muscles
are gonna need it.

Especially, I mean,

if we got 10 days
left in this challenge,

you know, that's
a long ways to go.

I'm hoping the
crab trap pays off.

It's just right over here.

Ah, right there,
and it's... it's sprung.

Look at this.

It just didn't... It
just didn't catch.

It went off, though.

[sighs]

Well, he didn't get out, so...

guess we'll try it again.

You can't give up
when it gets tough,

or you're gonna stay hungry.

I mean, a mountain lion

doesn't give up
when he's hungry.

He keeps looking.

Hopefully it works.

[owl cooing]

[Sara sighs] Oh.

It's probably, like,


and I have not slept.

Not even one minute.

[Sara sighs]

[Frank] Is there
anything I can do to help?

[Sara] There's
nothing we can do.

My body's miserable.

I slept, like, an
hour last night.

Oh...

My back pain's
been getting worse.

It's really hard in
this environment.

I know my body.

And I know if I don't get sleep,

it just is gonna go
downhill really quickly.

I don't wanna tap out.

But I'm worried about
long-term damage.

I know my mind is strong enough

to pull my body through.

But right now my body
is in a really rough place.

I'm just in a lot of pain.

[Sara sighs]

My back feels really horrible.

[Frank speaking]

[Sara] There's no
comfortable place to sit.

[Frank] All right.

My number one concern
is definitely my partner.

She's in a lot of pain,
and I'm worried about that.

Can go from bad to
worse real quick out here.

That can be a game-changer.

And it would be a
shame for her to quit.

To have something

just swoop you out
of a challenge like that.

That would be crushing.

So I'm gonna do whatever I can

to just try to make
her comfortable.

And I'm like, "Holy cow."

I got an idea.

That's a butt rock right there.

- Thank you for the butt rock.
- You are welcome.

[Frank] Spa day.

Spa day. This is more like

physical therapy adjustment day.

My partner gave me noni leaves
which are anti-inflammatory,

wrapped around
a really hot rock,

and I'm just resting
it on my back

just to help it heal a bit.

It feels really good.

[Frank] Straight from the
fire to the leaf to the back.

[Sara] Yeah.

I came into this challenge

prepared to deal with
somebody really difficult,

and what I got is
somebody really capable

with a good heart
and an open mind.

I couldn't ask for
a better teammate.

It's amazing.

[Frank] I'm doing
my best, making sure

everybody makes
it to the finish line.

That's really good.

I'm starting to feel
the spasm relax.

As long as I have noni leaves

and hot rocks, I'm gonna do that

as much as I can,

and take every small,
simple step I can

to take care of
my body out here.

- Thank you so much.
- [Frank] You're welcome.

[Frank] It's getting
tougher every day.

Getting hungrier every day.

Damn.

Been sprung but
there's nothing in 'em.

I'm gonna try
something different.

I know there's a lot of crab
in here and a lot of birds.

I'm gonna try to find a
fairly big-sized flat rock

for a Paiute deadfall.

I've been very successful
with these through the years.

They're simple to make.

This is the main
post for my Paiute.

And then it'll
have a lever stick

and it'll rest in this one,

and just form, like, a
little pivot point for it.

They'll get back in,
start tugging at that bait,

and bam.

I just wanna get one
big score before I go.

Just one.

Just one.

Right.

[Sara] My back is
feeling a lot better today.

It's not 100%,

but it's at 80%.
It's a lot better.

Just three days
until extraction.

We need more calories.

We're running out
of foraging stuff,

and so we really need to
rely on protein and traps.

All right, let's
see if I'm lucky.

Nope, nothing.

At this stage, the reality is
we are extremely depleted.

Mentally, physically,
emotionally, spiritually.

And it sucks. It sucks.

Feels good to move early.

[Frank] Yeah.

[Sara] Can hear
those waves calling us.

[Frank] Mmm-hmm.

Still haven't caught
them land crabs

or anything in the traps,

so Sara and I got up
this morning really early

to make this long
trip to the beach.

Hell of a journey down
that rocky stream bed.

Not looking forward
to that journey back.

But we gotta get some protein.

- Wanna give it a toss here?
- All right.

[Sara] We're both
hitting a bit of a wall.

So to make this trek
out here is a huge risk.

Nope.

- Nothing.
- Nothing.

[Sara] All right, I'll pull.

- Nothing.
- [Frank] Nothing?

[Sara groans]

- Nothing.
- Nothing.

[Frank] If the tide's rough,

a lot of times, fish
won't come in that close.

They know better.

They don't wanna get
washed ashore either.

[Sara] Nope.

[Frank] I only got one
or two throws left in me.

[Sara] Nothing.

[Frank] Nothing.

- I'm tired. I mean...
- [Sara] Yeah.

Throwing that net, I mean,

I might have only thrown the net

maybe 15, 20 times,

but it's not worth just
throwing for nothing.

[Sara] That was exhausting.

[Frank] It's a bummer.
It's a bummer.

As a hunter and a survivalist,
being able to provide

protein for me and my partner,

I mean, that's kinda...
that's kinda my thing.

If I don't bring home
something to eat,

I just feel like a
complete failure.

We got one more day
and night in the bush,

and our extraction
hike is coming up.

The walk out's gonna
be brutal enough

without being fatigued
and malnourished,

so I'm gonna keep
trying, you know?

Never give up. Just keep trying.

Oh, my God.

The deadfall's
definitely sprung.

Let's see what happened.

It has fired.

Wait. Oh, my God. Look at this.

Never eaten
grubs but I've just...

I see people do it, so...

I can see its goo.

[Frank] Yeah, it's gotta
have something there.

Grubs.

This is what you call thriving.

It just tastes like burnt skin.

They're great.

A lot of people eat
grubs on this challenge,

and I'm really honored
to be part of the club.

That is a true delight.

- Not a fan of those grubs.
- Me neither.

[Frank] The deadfall's
definitely sprung.

Wait. Oh, my God. Look at this.

It had a mouse.

The jungle has beat me to it.

How do you like that?

Guessing it's some
type of jungle shrew.

These ants have
already just pretty much

consumed my catch.

That really sucks.

'Cause I would have ate that.

I would have happily ate that.

[thunder rumbling]

[Frank] Last night
here in Tobago.

[Sara] We got tons of firewood.

We are gonna just go hog wild

with the firewood tonight.

And we got Frank's
fantastic smile.

And my evening chilling pose.

Back's tired.
Body's ready for bed.

I'm hoping the weather clears.

[thunder rumbling
and birds calling]

[Sara] Oh!

Another drip.

[bleep]

It's night 13.

Every time I
start to fall asleep,

there's more rain or thunder,

or trees breaking
near our shelter.

Holy moly.

Every time we think
it's about to be sunrise,

'cause the storm clears,

another storm wave comes.

[Frank] Night 13.

Anyways, we're walking
out of here in the morning.

Well, Sara-bear, we made it.

[Sara] Not yet, man.

It's not good.

It's day 14.

Extraction hike.

- It is raining.
- Brutal rain.

[Sara] And windy.
Deadfall above,

treacherous, slippy
ground beneath.

This storm is making
extraction a whole other game.

Safety is a huge
concern right now.

It's gonna be brutal.

All right, man.

This is the last time
we look at this map.

[Frank] Yeah.

- We're here?
- Yeah.

[Frank] Right here is
where the hill starts going up.

And it's gonna be really rough.

We're gonna have to
be very, very careful.

- Very slow.
- Gonna be steep and slippery.

- All right, man.
- All right, well, let's get out of here.

[narrator] Sara and Frank
will be heading four miles south

across slippery terrain
covered with sharp thorns,

jagged fallen bamboo,

and stinging scorpions

camouflaged on
the wet jungle floor.

The storm has dropped
more than five inches of rain,

which will further tax
their depleted bodies

as they attempt to climb

a treacherous 60-degree incline

to a clearing where they will
meet their extraction vehicle.

Oh, yeah. Look at
this puddle, man.

[Frank] Yeah. This hike is
gonna be particularly hard

- because it's hard to see.
- Yeah.

Footing's gonna be loose.

[Sara] We gotta head due south.

And without sunlight,
that's a little harder.

Oh, yeah, here comes the mud.

[Frank] Uh-huh.

This is unexplored
territory here.

[Sara] Properly
in the wilderness.

You're actually
bleeding a little.

- Yeah? There's sharp stuff out here.
- Yeah.

[Sara] Yeah, on your back.

[Frank] We got a bunch of
deadfall bamboo up here.

We're gonna have
to try to skirt this

or work through it,

but definitely
don't trust any of it.

- No, don't step on anything.
- Yeah.

[Frank] Ouch. Ouch. Ah.

[Sara] Ooh, lots of these things

with the fibers we
don't like right here.

The storm kicking up.

Pick a route you feel safe with.

[Sara] We gotta get
out of this bamboo.

- Yeah.
- Like, this could fall on us at any second.

- If that wind picks up...
- Then we're done.

[thunder rumbling]

[Sara] Look at this hill.
This is no joke, man.

[Frank] It's gonna get steep.

You all right, Sara?

[Sara] I'm just going slow, man.

Woof.

Ow.

- Pretty pokey through here.
- Yeah.

Ooh!

- Oh, man, this is a scramble.
- Oh, yeah.

[Frank grunts]

It gets really rocky
right through here, Sara.

- Go ahead, I'll go behind you.
- All right.

[Sara] All right, I'm
gonna go really slow.

- [Sara] Oh, man.
- What do you see?

I see a beautiful
opening and a dirt road.

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

- Let's check it out.
- Phew!

- Oh, man.
- What is it? Is it a road?

Um... [chuckles] yeah.

I think it's our road.

Dude, that's not
the ocean I hear.

Hey! Oh, we got goats! Dude!

Please be our ride.

Yes! Oh, hi! We
get to go with goats!

Oh, my God.

[Frank] It's been 14
days in the jungle.

I see them goats and, I
mean, I start salivating.

I'm thinking barbecue.

I'm just hungry.

We are on our extraction vehicle

with these cute little goats,

and I am on top of
the world right now.

I entered this challenge

with a beginner's mindset.

The only thing I assumed

was that it would
be really, really hard.

And I was correct, sir.

I learned so many
hard skills from Frank.

We came into this
challenge strangers,

and we're leaving as
friends with a lifetime bond.

I feel like a million
bucks right now.

After everything
we've been through,

this, this right here is great.

I never felt prouder
of Sara and me

as a team working together.

Couldn't ask for
a better partner.

She'll always be in
my heart right there.

After experiencing
this, on the couch

watching the challenges,

and then actually being in one,

it's... it's tough.
It ain't no joke.

I have so much respect for
the people before me now.

[narrator] Frank
dropped 20 pounds

during the challenge.

His PSR increases
from 5.7 to 6.0.

[Sara] To hop in
the back of a truck

with my partner and two goats,

it made me realize how
insane this whole thing is.

[narrator] Sara lost
a total of 17 pounds.

Her PSR rises from 5.2 to 5.8.

I think we need to
do a 21-day now.

- I'm ready. Let's do 21.
- Yeah.

- Let's go.
- Absolutely.

[both] 14 days in Tobago!
Whoo-hoo!
