Oh, my God, this is so crazy!
What am I doing?
This is definitely the
most exhilarating feeling,
and the adrenaline is coursing
through my veins right now.
I've been going through months of
training preparing for the days ahead,
and I've trained
with Steven Lee Hall.
All the way down.
Just grab the skin.
Yeah! Attagirl!
Look at that!
Steven Lee Hall and I live about an
hour away from each other in Florida
and we do have mutual friends.
So knowing that he's such
a Naked and Afraid legend,
I asked him to help me
prepare for this challenge.
He's really helped me, really
fine-tuning the skills that I had,
but then would like to correct
the small things that he knew
that would make my life
a little bit easier out here.
- Whoo!
- All right.
Cooking up our cottonmouth.
-What a win! High-five!
-That was awesome.
You know what? I'm
out here in Colombia.
So I plan on dethroning him
to where he's no longer
the king of the forest
and I become the
queen of the jungle.
Twenty-one days.
Team No Tap, baby.
I'm just not sure anybody
can survive here for 21 days.
Oh, my God.
Two strangers.
Red, go, go, go!
Oh, God!
No food.
No water.
Ahhh!
Twenty-one days.
Don't tap.
Die first.
Naked and Afraid.
I'm just feeling overwhelmed
out of just pure awe
and adoration toward
the environment.
It's, um... It's just inspiring.
I'm a renaissance
redneck, master of nothing,
but knows a little
about a lot of stuff.
I do a lot of things, but this is
probably the pinnacle of anything
that I've ever
experienced before.
I am ready to prove to myself
that I am worthy, that I am capable.
And that I can do the things
that I've set my mind to.
I'm very bubbly, very outgoing,
and I am an adrenaline chaser.
I do a lot of things that normal
people normally wouldn't do.
But life's an adventure.
The reason I'm doing this challenge
is really digging deep with inside myself
and see what I'm
truly made out of.
I need to know my limits,
and I've yet to really find them.
All right, guys, it's
time to get feral.
The best bit of advice that I have gotten
from Steven was, "It temporarily sucks.
Just keep pushing
forward and don't stay idle
because you don't wanna
get lost in your mind."
Steven Lee Hall, you better
have my crown polished
when I make it to the 21 days.
Well, I guess this
must be the place.
I've had an interest in the
challenge for a long time,
but I was too afraid. Didn't
have enough confidence in myself
to push forward.
I struggle internally a lot
when it comes to self-doubt.
"You're not gonna make it.
This is too much for you."
My hope is by the end
of this 21-day challenge
that I can silence
that voice in my head.
Tapping out is not an option.
It's either an
ambulance or extraction.
Colombia, the
renaissance redneck is here.
Let's see what you got.
Being naked out in the jungle is
a brand new experience for me.
I've never left
the United States.
I'm excited and I'm
equally as terrified.
Growing up, I've wrestled
through USA Wrestling.
I've rode motocross.
I'm a charter boat captain.
I'm a professional fisherman, and I
trained with jujitsu for a very long time.
There's been times where I've
absolutely gotten my a*s beat in the ring.
And I didn't quit.
It's made me really
have a lot of grit.
Once you feel that
feeling of that adrenaline
hitting your body,
it's almost like a drug.
You're forever chasing
it, and I just... I love it.
Miranda is a quick learner
with a positive attitude
and is knowledgeable
in primitive survival.
However, her need for excitement
may tax her physical endurance.
Miranda begins the challenge
with a primitive survival rating,
or PSR, of 6.7.
I'm looking around and
seeing all kinds of things
I can use for shelter
building and cordage making
and It's just a
plethora of resources.
I grew up out in the woods, barefoot,
building forts, catching snakes,
catching turtles,
stalking animals.
I do hunting and
fishing, tracking, trapping,
cordage-making, building fire,
water sourcing and purification.
And just a broad knowledge
of general bush-crafting skills.
So I'm going to take
every piece of knowledge
and accumulate it into
this one 21-day challenge.
Kyle's diverse survival
skills are a good match
for the brutal
Colombian terrain.
But his lack of confidence
could be his downfall.
He begins the challenge
with a PSR of 7.1.
-I think I see my partner.
-Hi.
-Yeah.
-Hi, how are you?
Good. How are you?
Well, you know, just
naked out in the jungle.
Yeah. Same. Miranda.
-Kyle. Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you, Kyle.
-Well, where are you from?
-I'm from Florida.
-From Arkansas.
-Okay, so it's kind of the same.
I mean, it's
considered the South.
Yeah. So what
skills do you bring?
Shelter-building
and fire making,
and a little bit of everything.
-Yeah.
-So what about yourself?
So I'm a charter captain.
So fishing, just being outside and
used to like, the weather patterns,
-the endurance for the heat and humidity.
-Right.
Definitely. And then, like of
course, like who doesn't play with fire.
-I'm excited. Are you excited?
-Me, too.
-You ready to check our bags?
-You ready to get started?
-Yeah.
-All right.
Okay, so I brought
with me my machete.
Ooh!
It's, uh, very important to a survival
situation to have a good blade.
And this one holds
an edge very well.
-So...
-So I brought...
-All right.
-...a fishing line and some hooks.
-I think this is gonna be really good to have.
-Right.
And I did 50-pound
braids, so it's really resilient.
In addition to their
personal survival items,
Miranda and Kyle are provided
with a pot for boiling water,
and a fire starter.
-I have the map here.
-Awesome.
-It looks like we're right here.
-Okay.
We need a water source at least.
There's the water source.
That's probably a good
place to set up a camp.
I like the idea
of going to water.
-So we should head south.
-Yeah, yeah. Let's do it.
-Let's go.
-All right.
Let's try to find the path
of least resistance here.
Miranda and Kyle will attempt to
survive 21 days deep in the jungles
of Santa Marta, Colombia, a
savage mountainous landscape,
where dense vegetation conceals
venomous fer-de-lance and jaguars,
who have the most powerful
bite of all feline predators
with a force of 1,500
pounds per square inch.
The survivalists will also face
the region's soaring temperatures
and sweltering humidity,
as well as violent storms.
Looks like we're starting to
go up an elevation a little bit.
I know. I can feel
it in my butt cheeks.
So the incline on this hike,
I didn't realize how
steep it was going to be.
It surprised me. And then
the decline is just crazy.
It's like climbing a
rooftop barefoot, sweating.
You know, I've done a lot of
training with Steven Lee Hall.
Oh, okay.
- You know, and...
- Definitely an expert.
Yeah. He prepared
me as much as he could,
but I don't think anything
can truly prepare you
to be butt naked in
the jungle out here.
Definitely out of
my comfort zone.
Slow and steady.
I'm sweating in places I
didn't know I was gonna sweat.
Right.
I've just met my partner, Kyle.
He seems just as
excited to be here as I am.
I definitely think he's
going to be a good partner,
and I'm excited to grow
together and have a battle buddy.
These Colombian
mountains are no joke.
Okay, watch your step
'cause it's super shaky.
Miranda seems pretty
awesome. She's very high energy,
very fit, enthusiastic, and
her attitude is very positive.
That's gonna be key out
here and also a huge asset.
That thunder's pretty ominous.
Yeah, let's book it so
we can get to our spot.
Yeah, that's it. 10-4, I got it.
I'm on the same path.
So I think... I see what
might be our water source.
This is it? I thought
it would be bigger.
Standing at the water
source and staring at it,
um, it was kind of terrifying.
It looked large on the map
because I, like I thought
it was gonna be an actual
river and bigger and flowing.
It's almost like
just a dirty puddle.
So I'm hoping
that it holds fish.
But I don't know.
This would be a good place
to set up camp for the night.
Yeah, like a homa-boma.
- A homa-boma? Yeah.
- Our homa-boma.
Okay.
Yeah, 'cause we do
have this tree here, too.
And I think that
could hold something.
Yeah, we could put a
ridge pole across there,
and we can start
on the, the lean-to
and then the slope
coming this way.
So I'm gonna try to boil some
water, hydrate a little bit, 'cause,
like, I'm sweating my
a*s off, like right now,
and I know we're
dehydrating as we stand here.
If you want to start
gathering up the firewood
and I'll pull some vines,
I'll pull some palms
and some materials
ready for the shelter.
Okay. Great.
Gathering some of these vines.
I need to get
this going. It's hot.
Ow.
My eye.
Is something in your
eye? Are you okay?
Yeah, I... I hit my eye.
So I'm pulling down all these vines
for cordage and dumb me looks up
and gets a bunch of trash
that just falls into my left eye.
Are you okay?
-Let me look at it.
-No, I can see better now.
-I need to look at it.
-Yes, ma'am.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
I'm not trying to mother
you. I just am concerned.
You're my buddy
out here, you know.
Sometimes I need some mothering.
Oh, my gosh.
Golly, everything's so moist.
Get a really, really good pile.
I mean, you're
not going to use up
all that magnesium as much as you
can get scraped into the center of it,
the better it'll be.
It's raining out here.
You can hear it
hitting the trees.
And every minute those raindrops
hit, it, like, sends out urgency.
If we can't get this fire started,
we're in some big trouble.
I'm adding some more
lattices across here
just so I can more densely
pack the palm fronds together
to keep, you know,
any gaps from forming,
letting rain in, using some vine
from the trees around here
as cordage, quick and easy,
accessible.
I get a little bit of a flare
and it's just so wet here.
I can't get the flame to
hold, so it's very frustrating.
I don't want to be a night
without fire. It's terrifying.
It's not working out that well.
We're going to k*ll
ourselves trying to get fire
that may not happen.
We can go a day
or so without water.
Yeah.
What we're going to try to
do is put the fire aside tonight.
We're going to focus on shoring
up the shelter to keep the rain out
and then come back in the
morning when the sun hopefully is out
and we can dry out
our tinder sources.
We just need to throw
some together and...
-Yeah.
-...call it home for the night.
Yep.
Tonight we're
sleeping in the buggy,
wet, disgusting
ground with no fire.
I'm praying tomorrow is
going to be a better day.
It's not quite the first day
that we were expecting.
We just brave through
the night hour by hour
and we'll get through it.
- You still with me?
- Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
I can't see you. So I
have to check on you.
Yeah.
You can't even see your hand
in front of you really, you know?
Fire would be great.
Did you hear that?
Hey!
I don't know what the
that was, but it felt large.
- Get out of here.
- Go!
Go!
It sounded like a panther.
Something came up close.
You want to try a fire?
Maybe it'll deter something.
I mean, we could try it.
The fire starter
should be behind you.
Hey!
It's just damp.
Oh, my God.
It's just damp.
Oh, my God.
Keep it going.
There you go. There you go.
There you go. There you go.
Oh, my God.
- We made a fire.
- I know.
It's alive!
I am ready for daylight.
Colombia.
It's the morning of day two,
and because of my dumb mistake,
I am laying in the shelter
with my eye closed.
I may have scratched
the inside of my eyelid.
Miranda's out gathering
some materials for fire.
Hopefully we can get
some water boiling.
Because we both are in desperate
need of something to drink.
Great.
All right. We still have
good coals, which is good.
No more animal attacks.
No.
You okay?
I honestly can't see right now.
Yeah.
Do you need to tag out
'cause I know your eye is like--
Yeah.
Well, let me get it and
then... Don't step in the fire.
-Careful.
-Yeah.
Eyes are burning.
I started sweating,
and it ran down into the
eye that was already irritated.
I mean, this is just day two.
It's demoralizing.
It's frustrating.
Something like this is
grounds for a medical tap,
and I don't want
to be that person.
I don't want to be taken out
by a dumb mistake that I made
and not be able to
finish my challenge.
Hopefully, the swelling will go down
and my vision can get back to normal.
Okay, just give it some time.
I'll take care of the fire if you
want to, like, go get some water.
-Okay. Sounds good.
-Definitely.
- Thank you.
- Yes, ma'am.
Wait until it cools
down a little bit.
We both feel the, like,
side effects of dehydration,
and we were like frothing
at the bit to get to this water
and have it cool off.
First sip of water.
You're a raisin,
and all of a sudden you're
like starting to turn into a grape.
And it's an amazing feeling.
That struggle was
worth this moment.
Yeah.
How's your eye feeling?
It's mainly around my upper lid,
like right over
here in this corner.
It's really swollen up there.
In this corner and then
over here in this corner,
I can feel it a lot.
Yeah, it's super swollen.
You need to call the medic.
Yeah.
Can we have a medic, please?
Copy.
Medic is on his way.
-I can't really like--
-Kind of blind.
It's like swollen and gooping,
and he can't really
open it that great.
Okay.
His eye is swollen shut.
It's crusty. It's gross.
It looks absolutely painful.
He tries to open it and it
tries to slam shut like a clam.
So it's super concerning.
Kyle is my partner.
And to think that this
could lead to a medical tap
is absolutely terrifying.
And I don't want to lose
my buddy, you know.
You know, so I'm
hoping it gets better.
It's not something
that's super serious, is it?
Okay.
Thank you very much.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Get some rest.
You good?
Yeah.
I'm glad you're not going home.
Vision's coming back now.
The eye is feeling better.
There's no irritation anymore.
There's no discomfort.
There's no agitation.
I got my dumb
mistakes out of the way,
and I know what's at stake.
My own reassurance
and my self-esteem.
If I don't accomplish my goal,
I feel like it's going to really
have an effect on me overall.
Maybe we can scout for fish.
-Yeah.
-Because...
We have fire, we have
water and your eye's better.
So that's like a huge win, too.
And like protein,
like, a little fish protein
or anything really
wouldn't hurt.
Sounds good.
I am so hungry right now.
I'll rig up my hook
and see what happens.
It's a very small pool of water
and, and these fish are so little,
the likelihood of not
getting them are very high,
but we'll try it.
You know, you miss 100%
of the shots you don't take.
I mean, we don't have
any food right now,
so it can only go up from here.
We got a pole.
We got a fishing pole!
Now we just need bait.
You know, I'm trying to figure
out what they eat naturally.
And ants are really
the only thing I can see.
I'll get you an ant.
Okay, yeah. Perfect.
Yeah, I got you
about five of them.
All right. I successfully
decapitated an ant.
All right. Let's see.
I'm just gonna look
around this area.
Okay.
Yo.
Lizard.
You got a lizard?
The b*stard's fast.
Oh, no.
I didn't even get a
chance to get close.
The lizard was about that long.
Which doesn't seem like a lot.
But when you're out here and
you haven't had anything to eat,
that's a giant meal.
It doesn't seem like
they're really hitting on it,
and they're super spooky.
I can't make the fish bite.
The fish here are a lot smaller
than I thought they were going to be.
I tried hook and line,
that's not working,
And the next best step I can
think of is let's make a fishing net.
But these fish are so little,
maybe the size of minnows.
I would have to like really,
like, get the hole so tiny
for them not to swing out.
Maybe check on
the fire, boil water.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh,.
Oh, my God!
We try to do what we
can to cover the embers.
Hopefully there will be
some left in the morning.
It's so cold.
That was a really long night.
- So wet and so cold.
- Yeah.
Thanks for letting me, like,
crawl up inside of your armpit.
That's what I'm
here for as a partner.
What do you think about,
like, extending this out,
and, like, with the Y sticks,
extending it and
then covering it.
-Yeah.
-I think that's going to give us
a lot more peace
of mind at night.
Plus that wet ground,
it's cold, it sucks.
I would really like a swamp bed,
- and then we don't have to sleep on, like, rocks.
- -Yeah.
Like, I think that's gonna be
the next thing that we can do.
Okay.
So, to extend our shelter,
what we're gonna have to do
is cut several Y
sticks, several lattices
and gather up more palm fronds.
It's a large task.
Look how big these leaves are.
Right now, our
temporary really sucks,
and we're really, kind of,
burning the energy we don't have.
But when the storms roll in,
then we're gonna be so thankful
that we just spent extra
energy in doing this.
We have to get this done.
That's secure.
Great.
Kyle has been
at it this morning.
He's chopping wood, he's
chopping banana leaves.
- Sheesh!
- Okay.
Strong like bull.
We are halfway through
finishing our raised platform bed.
And we're just really
hammering down these Y sticks.
We need stabilizing sticks
to go from the headboard
to the end where your feet go,
and then we'll tie
them all with vines,
and then we just have to chop down
a bunch of, like, one-inch saplings,
and we have a raised platform.
-Boom.
-It's done.
The bed is secure.
And we know that we
can get some good sleep
because it's comfortable sleep.
We're both just exhausted.
We desperately need to lay down
and, um, get some rest in.
Hell of a lot more
comfortable than the floor.
- Good job.
- I appreciate you, dude.
Appreciate you, too, man.
We got this.
- The rain sucks.
- The rain sucks.
We built our fire
hot and strong.
Feels like Florida in here.
We've redone the
roof to the boma,
and we were so excited
about our platform bed.
We are staying as
dry as we possibly can.
Um, hopefully, me and Kyle,
we could get some
really good sleep.
All right. We're gonna
go on an adventure.
The shelter held up fine,
but it also poured cats
and dogs last night.
So Kyle is just gonna rest.
And I am going out
and scouting the area,
see if maybe I can rustle
up a snake or something
because we do need that protein.
My God, it's so
rocky everywhere!
God, that hurts your feet.
I know that fer-de-lance
tend to hide in
more of the leaves
because they camouflage so well.
And I know they're definitely one
of the top poisonous vipers out here.
But at this point,
it's just food is food.
Just do it.
Are those ripe bananas?
Oh, my God.
Kyle is gonna be so happy.
This is gonna help him so much.
It's gonna help me.
And these are such good sugars.
I'm so happy. What a win.
Thank you, Colombia.
So many bananas.
I'm so happy.
This is the best banana
I've ever had in my life.
I just now woke up,
so I'm still coming
into the world.
And then I see, like, this
smorgasbord of food in front of me.
They're the sweetest,
most decadent bananas
you could think of.
I'm just in amazement
that she found them.
Miranda is a great partner.
I feel a lot better.
The food, it does wonders,
just to give you
a really big boost.
The good news is we've
secured a lot of food.
We're going to be
busy eating bananas
for the next two days
if they don't go rotten.
Are those our daily lunch boxes?
- We each get one package?
- Yeah.
I never knew a banana
could change my life.
- Well, whatever-- - I'm
obviously the queen of the forest
-since I'm dethroning Steven Lee Hall Jr.
-Obviously. Obviously.
I mean, come on now.
Is that the frog starting?
I will take a frog
leg. I don't care.
Like, I would just be
so happy with, like,
anything cooked at this point.
Maybe we can go down there
and catch a couple of frogs
and have some frog legs.
Yeah.
The bananas are great,
but we need some protein.
I'm a fairly big guy,
and I eat quite a bit.
We hear these frogs
down by the water source,
and if we could get four
or five, six of these frogs,
that would be a
ginormous meal for us
that we need to keep us going.
Oh, wait, look, there's
two of them right there.
Go, go, go!
You got it. Just commit fully.
You got it, you got it.
- There you go. Yep. There you go.
-That's it.
All right, try it
again, try it again.
Straight to the ground,
straight to the ground.
- There you go. Yeah!
- There we go.
We're super excited
about these frogs.
We're trying to grab
as many as we can.
Okay, so there's one here.
We're scurrying around like
a bunch of kittens on crickets.
It's fantastic.
Oh, sh**t!
-I missed.
-Okay. You got 'em?
We counted six toads total,
so we'll have about
Oh, oh, trying to get out.
Yeah, let's head back and take care
of these and get them over the fire.
Go ahead and try the first bite.
-This thing...
-See what you think.
It's really good.
- It's good.
- Yeah. Mmm-hmm.
This is a huge, um, win for us
because this is a
big amount of protein
that we have not had the
entire time we've been out here.
This is juicy, too.
Thank you, frogs,
for your little lives,
and thank you, Colombia.
Just all around a good day.
Frog legs for the win.
Is your, uh... Is anything
starting to go numb?
My mouth.
Is that normal?
My lips are starting to go numb.
My tongue... Tip of
my tongue is numb.
That makes me nervous.
Damn it!
I can't feel my
tongue or my lips.
What the hell is
going on right now?
Medic, this is Kyle.
Okay.
The frogs that we ate
is making our mouth
and tongue and lips,
everything go numb.
Okay.
- Hi, guys.
- Hey.
- How are you?
- Good.
- How do you feel?
- Uh, weird.
Open the mouth, please.
Okay.
Open the eyes.
Breathe, you good?
- Yeah, I can breathe.
- Okay.
Open the mouth, please.
The medic determines that
Kyle and Miranda consumed
several Colombian
four-eyed frogs,
which are known
to secrete digoxin,
a toxin that can cause
dizziness, nausea and numbness,
but is not lethal.
Okay. Everything
is okay, you guys.
Yeah. It, kind of, worried us.
- I need you to drink a lot of water.
- -Okay.
- Have a good night.
- You, too.
- Well?
- I need to lay down.
While the frog meat
was good, it, um...
Just whatever toxin it
emitted, kind of, had an effect.
I just feel drained.
- I feel just tired. Um...
- Mmm-hmm.
That was a mistake.
Yeah. It kind of hit
me like a freight train.
I didn't really expect it.
- Like, I feel like garbage.
- Yeah.
I'll let my body fight -whatever it needs to.
-Yeah.
-Okay, I'm gonna go fill up this pot.
-Okay.
I am freaking zapped.
Frogs really took it out of me.
I feel like a freaking
hot dumpster.
I can't even sit up without
feeling like I'm passing out.
It's a really scary feeling.
I'm hoping it passes.
I'm hoping tomorrow
is a little bit better.
How does it feel, sitting up?
Terrible.
Yeah, you know, like, I feel like
my intestines are in a vise right now.
-Does that make sense?
-Yeah.
Miranda and I are feeling
immensely depleted from the ill effects
that we felt from
eating the toads.
I'm not sure if it's
indigestion or the lack of food.
Um, you know, I'm just, kind of,
thinking in my head "Can I do this?
Am I going to fail?
Am I going to have enough
to make it to extraction?"
Um, and at this point,
we just don't know.
But I know that for
my, uh, mental capacity,
I need to get up and I
need to do something.
See this giant grove of bamboo,
that looks perfect
for making canteens.
So my plan is to focus more
on getting our water intake up.
Dehydration can sneak up on you
really quick, and you'll not even know it.
If there's anything that I can
do to help her push through,
that's what I wanna do.
Bamboo is a great
building material
for canteens to
store our water in.
We can boil a pot, immediately
put it in one, cork it and set it aside,
and start a new pot.
We will have more in reserve,
especially for when we go
on extraction to take it with us.
That was awful.
Going on very little calories.
I just need to take a break.
So, I take the bamboo,
and I'm trying to section
it off into smaller sections.
Within st*lks of hollow bamboo
are natural partitions
called nodes,
which create separate sealed
compartments, perfect for holding water.
There we go. Here's
the first container.
I estimate these hold
about half a pot in these.
Hopefully this helps.
Tired, stomach's still hurting.
I genuinely feel
like absolute dog.
Maybe it is just
stomach irritation.
I can really see that
Miranda's not herself.
She's barely saying
anything at all.
There's probably some grogginess
still from the effects of the frogs.
It's very concerning.
Realistically, do you
think this is something
you're going to get over
in the next day or so?
I don't know.
I just want my body
to...hang in there.
My mind is in it, and it keeps
telling my body to keep pushing.
But my body's resisting
my mind at this point.
You've got to drink water.
Hydrate and hydrate
and hydrate more.
I'm so tired of laying down.
I am, like, getting so
antsy. It's driving me insane.
Got, like, the
cold sweats going.
Like, there is no way
to walk out here
on 21 like this.
We know our bodies
can be pushed a lot more
than we know they can be pushed,
but I've pushed my
body before, and this is...
My body's giving out on me.
I don't know if this is
where I'm gonna have to tap.
That's going to be
a game changer.
Kyle brought back bamboo
today and fashioned a blow stick.
And this is, like, pun
intended, blowing my mind.
It's so much better.
Normally, I am, like, nose down,
rooting around like a pig in
that fire, trying to get it started.
I was able to stand, I don't
know, a foot away from it.
Awesome job.
Since Kyle made this blow stick,
I don't look like I've been
cleaning chimneys for a living.
Boom shakalaka.
Are you sure you
don't want any water?
Yeah, I should
probably drink some.
When Miranda mentioned tapping
and leaving the challenge,
it really kind of shook me.
Miranda has to stay.
If I have to, I'll try to piggyback
you out of here on day 21.
I'm gonna do my best
for that not to happen.
Steven told me if I hit
a low moment out here,
that I need to dig deep,
and I need to push through.
So that's what I'm going to do.
I remember this
walk being easier.
Yeah.
I wanted just to see
if we can get Miranda
down to the pool, rinse off.
I really think that her
stepping into this cool water,
feeling that energy
boost will help her.
You can feel your
brain coming back to life.
And that cooling effect,
uh, did really lift her spirits.
That was such a win.
Thank you for that.
I told you that it's great.
I'm having trouble
getting to bed
because it's the last
night before extraction.
And, uh, the anticipation
is just... really high.
I'm feeling better.
I'm ready to beat feet
and get out of here.
We're gonna make it.
We're gonna get across
to that finish line together.
We're gonna get there.
The morning of day
I feel re-energized
and ready to go.
We just have to, like,
fill up our canteens.
I think that's it.
It's time to leave.
My adrenaline's pumping,
and I feel much better now,
um, with hydration and sleep.
We do have a long
extraction hike ahead of us,
and we're going
to get this done.
According to this,
north is that way.
We need to head south.
-Ready?
-I'm ready.
- Goodbye, cabana.
- Let's go.
It's been fun.
To reach their extraction point,
Miranda and Kyle must now embark
on a four-mile trek through
the thick Colombian jungle.
Facing scorching temperatures
and sweltering humidity,
they'll need to navigate
steep, rocky inclines
covered with
razor-sharp terrain.
All while keeping an eye
out for venomous snakes,
such as the deadly fer-de-lance.
Looks like we gotta climb.
Ow!
This extraction hike is tough.
Even with the
adrenaline flowing,
our bodies start
to really feel it.
Our legs are burning
because we're trying to expend
every bit of last-minute
energy to get out of here.
I'm exhausted.
I have, like, the desert
in my throat right now.
Let's stop and get
some water for a second.
Kyle made these canteens,
and this is a huge
game changer for us
because not having those
extra waters on reserve,
that could have
taken us out. 100%.
It's so steep.
Be really careful
going down that.
Because not only is it
steep, it's also loose gravel.
At any moment, I can
go butt over tea kettle,
just cartwheel
down this mountain.
If I were to do that, that
would be an instant med tap
with a guaranteed broken bone.
Looks like we gotta climb again.
How tall can these mountains be?
At some point, it's
got to stop going up.
Yeah, I feel like I'm on
the world's longest staircase
to the top of the mountain.
My legs are burning,
my calves are cramping.
Ow!
I have to constantly
remind myself
"one foot in
front of the other."
Just dig as deep as I can.
Oh, God.
You hear that?
Yeah.
Come on.
- Oh, my gosh!
- We made it.
-You got it?
-Yeah.
You okay?
I'm going home.
We're getting out of Colombia.
I've had ups, I've had downs.
And to be here knowing
that I persevered
through all those tough
times, it's an incredible feeling.
That's what I came
out here to do,
push my body beyond
anything I've pushed it before.
And you know what? I did it.
To everyone who thought that
I couldn't do this back home,
I'll leave you with this.
Over the course of 21
days, Miranda lost 17 pounds.
Her primitive survival rating
rises from a 6.7 to a 7.1.
-I'm glad you were there every step, too.
-You, too.
I've endured a lot out here.
I came in the challenge really
struggling throughout my life,
doubting myself, doubting
whether I'm good enough.
Just overall self-esteem issues.
And this challenge has taught me
that even though
I may be scared,
I may have freak-out moments,
overcoming those
fears, those emotions,
it's just completely molded
me into somebody new.
I am a more confident person.
Kyle lost 40 pounds.
His PSR rises
from a 7.1 to a 7.5.
I've never cried so
many happy tears
than I have in
these past 21 days.
Do I think me and Kyle are
gonna be lifelong friends?
Absolutely.
He's been right there
with me every single day,
through all those hard times.
It's been a, like, teamwork
effort the entire time.
We get along like
peas and carrots.
-Whoo!
-We made it together.
I'm relieved.
Steven Lee Hall, go
ahead and start practicing
polishing that crown because
there is a new queen of the forest.
