Out here in the wild of Florida,
and I just found out
that there is a 21-day
"Naked and Afraid" going on
literally just outside
my property.
But right now is the absolute
worst time of year
to come to Florida.
Alligators in mating season
right now.
This is when alligator males
get a huge amount
of testosterone.
And because they're out there
looking for a mate,
they're also looking
for a fight.
I don't think I can sit back
and hope
that they don't get
into trouble.
And I think I have
to go out there
and see if I can help them
make sure they don't die.
Leaving the house naked.
Headed off into the bush.
All right, well,
got two new friends to meet.
I'm just not sure anybody can
survive here for 21 days.
Oh, my God!
Ah!
Run! Go, go, go, go, go!
Don't tap.
Die first.
Check this out, y'all!
This is my first time
in the Everglades.
Super thick,
palm trees everywhere.
You can feel the humidity.
Basically like a humid hell.
It's been rainy,
it's been miserably hot,
and I'm afraid of the bug bites
in places
that the sun hasn't seen.
I think it's gonna be
incredibly hard.
All right, this is it.
I've been in the outdoors
my whole life,
going on camping trips
with my dad, my brother.
I have knowledge
of building things,
making snares,
starting fires.
So I went on a hike
at the Appalachian Trail.
I did 250 miles
on it by myself,
carrying a 50-pound pack.
And I was terrified.
You know, I'm by myself.
I had bears come up
into my camps.
I jumped across rattlesnakes.
I had no clue what I was doing.
I was winging all of it.
It was a life-changing event
for me.
I learned to control my mind,
and I learned that I'm a badass.
Did 75 miles
across the Sonora Desert,
did 90 miles in Portugal,
After I found all
this confidence, it was like,
"Where's my next adventure?
Where's my next challenge?"
And here I am.
Bring on the Everglades!
Whoo!
Here we go.
Time to do it again.
This isn't my first challenge.
I've done a 21-day challenge
in Africa.
And also participated
in an "XL" in Colombia.
Unfortunately,
that one didn't go as planned.
Jesus Christ, man.
I'm gonna leave the challenge.
This location is not gonna work.
- Stay strong.
- Thanks, I'll try.
It's humbling, you know,
being here in the Everglades.
Obviously, the bugs and stuff
are gonna be horrendous.
So I'm not calling this
a redemption, but I'm here
to do this challenge
and crush it
because I wanna show
I'm one of the top survivalists
in "Naked and Afraid."
Florida, here I come!
Deep in the Everglades
of southern Florida,
months of historically
low rainfall
and unprecedented drought
conditions have recently ended
with a vengeance...
...as a massive influx
of violent tropical storms
have pounded the area
for days at a time,
bringing water and life
flooding back
to the marshy ecosystem,
but also awakening
its previously dormant
population of alligators
to breed and hunt
with newfound aggression,
and creating
massive infestations
of swarming insects
and mosquitoes
that pose an increased risk
for diseases
such as West Nile virus
and Eastern equine encephalitis
that can cause
brain inflammation
and death in horses and humans.
- I see my partner.
- Whoo!
- Hi, I'm Cole.
- Hi, I'm Tori,
- Good to meet you.
- How are you?
Good.
Are you excited?
- I'm so excited.
- Good.
- You here for 21 days?
- I'm here for 21 days.
- Let's do it.
- Good.
So, I hope we can be
good partners.
We're gonna be great partners.
Let's check out our bags.
All right.
Seeing Cole, I am very excited.
I remember him from a show
that I just watched recently.
I'm a hunter,
so I brought my bow.
OK, awesome.
I actually brought paracord
with a giant gator hook on it.
Yeah, that's perfect.
We are going
gator hunting, baby.
Hell yeah.
When it comes to gators
out here, they do scare me
because I'm not trying to lose
an arm or a leg out here.
But you just gotta
let all that fear go.
And I have never
k*lled a gator.
And besides fish,
I have never k*lled anything.
But now I'm ready to jump
on the back of one,
'cause what's more badass
than that?
In addition to their
personal items,
Cole and Tori are given a pot,
a fire starter,
and due to the high risk
of mosquito-borne disease
in the area, a bug net.
We have no knife.
Yeah, that's a little
concerning to me, to be honest.
With no cutting tool,
it's gonna be difficult
to figure out our shelter,
but Tori's great.
Little on the smaller side,
but, you know, dynamite comes
in small packages.
I think we're gonna crush it.
I'm actually holding a map here.
See where we're at.
- North is going off this way.
- Yep.
Yep.
Looks like we need
to make it to this big
freshwater source over here.
- Yes.
- You ready to do this?
- I am.
[bleep], yeah.
Bon voyage.
- Yeah, I'll follow you.
- Let's do it.
To reach their water source,
Tori and Cole must push
through four miles
of dense marshland.
The muddy terrain
and gator-filled waterways
crawl with giant pythons
and highly venomous pit vipers,
such as the cottonmouth,
while the high grasses
conceal aggressive wild hogs
and territorial black bears.
Ow!
Hang on.
A little like Rambo here.
Whoo!
That's in a naughty spot.
Hang on.
So, look here.
Look at that pig bed
right there.
That's a good sign.
All right.
Oh!
Yeah, this stuff
ain't no joke.
Just keep your eye out
for any snakes, gators.
If a snake pops up right here,
I'm gonna lose it.
All my life, I've hated snakes.
They've always scared me.
I'm super nervous
not to have a knife.
- That ain't stopping me.
- We don't have a knife.
And I'm slightly freaking out,
but I'm gonna--
between Cole and I,
we're gonna have to really
come up with some ideas
of figuring it out.
I've been keeping my eye
out for some rocks and stuff,
but they're kind of few
and far between.
Yeah.
We gotta be close.
- It looks like it.
- I can smell the water.
Here it is.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
It's not huge, but it'll do.
Oh, I love the resort
you brought me to, honey.
I wouldn't doubt it if there's
a gator in here for sure.
Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna
go be taking any swims
anytime soon.
- No.
Maybe we can start looking
for somewhere to do shelter?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm thinking
like right up in here.
Bunch of firewood around.
I think this is a pretty
good spot.
Maybe we try to utilize
this oak tree right here.
I like it.
Are you wanting to try to do
an A-frame from both sides
or just do like maybe one side?
I mean, we can start off
with just one side.
Yeah, and then we can work
on it as we go.
- OK.
- Cool.
I think I'll just start
dragging logs over here
and leaning them up
against here.
I'm gonna gather
what I need here
and start clearing out
the area some.
Not having a knife, I'm gonna be
as resourceful as I can.
I mean, growing up,
we weren't always allowed
to run around with a machete.
So I've done stuff like this
before, just like
a debris shelter.
So pretty much we're
using the trunk of the tree
as our main joist.
- Yep.
Doing an A-frame off of that
with side rails that will allow
our palm fronds to go in and do
our shingles down through it.
- Exactly.
- Creating a really good A-frame.
Got two new friends to meet.
And don't know they're
about to be greeted by a savage.
Go crash your party.
This is my 10th challenge,
but every challenge
I've ever done,
I've always been able to learn
something new from partners.
Hey, you guys got room
for one more?
Oh, [bleep].
Matt frickin' Wright, dude.
That's so crazy!
- Woo!
- Man.
I heard you guys surviving
almost in my backyard.
Figured I'd come over.
Come on, give me a hug.
- Good to meet you, dude.
- You too.
Cole, I recognize him
from actually doing
a 21 day challenge
and a couple days on an "XL."
Good to see you guys.
Let me give you a hug.
- Hi! I'm Tori!
- Tori.
Oh, man.
Gotta give you a proper hug.
- You know, awesome.
- Hi-- oh, my gosh.
So I heard you guys are out
here surviving, and I was like,
"It's kind of close."
- Just had
to come by, huh?
It's kind of close.
I was like, let's do it.
And so if you got
some room for me...
- Yeah!
- I'd say, let's party!
I'm in novice heaven right now,
'cause I'm squeezed
in between the two experts.
I had no clue that we were
gonna get a third person,
and I know he's been
on so many of these challenges.
Oh, he's right here,
he's right here.
- Oh, [bleep]!
- Watch out!
- Yeah, OK.
- All right.
Watch your hand.
Watch your hand.
All right.
I have brought more food in
than the top 10
people combined.
Savage strikes again
right here.
Ha-ha-ha!
I wait to like take it all in
from him and have him show me
the things that he's learned.
And I feel like between Cole
and then Matt, and then it's me
as I'm a novice right now
for the first time...
Uh, yeah, I'm sitting here,
sitting nice in a man-wich.
I wanna get a gator
and I wanna rule this in.
I wanna be the one
to jump on its back.
- Deal, OK.
- Come on.
- Come on, make it happen for me.
- All right.
- Let's see what happens.
- I brought my longbow.
- Heck yeah!
- You know something
about that, don't you?
Yeah, I know a little
something about using
one of those once or twice.
One of my big motivations
for coming on this challenge was
seeing this bow hunter,
Mr. Matt Wright, k*lling it
bow hunting.
And I can do that, you know?
So he's a big inspiration for me
and I'm super pumped to see him.
Please tell me
that you have a blade.
Oh, you guys don't have a knife?
- No knife.
- Oh, please.
Fine, fine,
I brought one with me.
Yes!
Yes, I've been panicking
all day.
I would imagine you guys
were panicking.
Yep, I got us a good blade.
Well, show me your place.
Show me your little
location here.
Let's see.
I like this spot.
It's gonna actually be
the adequate size,
I think,
for even the three of us.
It's about the size
of the shelter I made
in, like, Louisiana when there
was the three of us in there.
And I would actually suggest
we get a fire going and just
start smoking the area out
to keep those mosquitoes at bay.
All right, let's do it.
You get to make your first fire
on "Naked and Afraid."
I know.
There's more behind.
Oh, look at you!
First fire of "Naked and Afraid"
for you.
- Whoo!
- Whoo!
- Fire master!
- Good job, Tori!
I've seen quite a few fires,
and that was one of the best.
Here we go!
This is day one,
and it didn't take long for me
to start feeling drained.
So I'm feeling parched,
a little dehydrated,
and we haven't even finished
building a shelter.
You can get hypothermic
still out here in the swamp
real easy.
- Yeah.
If you don't have a proper
shelter and it rains all night.
Matt and I are just getting
all the palm fronds layered
in there for shingles.
We're really just busting a*s
and knocking this thing out.
We are working together
fantastic because we just
whipped together
a three-person shelter.
It is actually large enough
for all three of us
to lay in there,
have room to walk around,
but also it is pretty much
almost like airtight
on the sides because out here,
if you're not vigilant
into protecting yourself
from the elements,
these storms will send you home.
I am tired,
and I have a raging headache.
Definitely lost a lot
of electrolytes.
A little rest and hydration,
I think you'll be
feeling better.
Typical kind of overdoing it
for Tori on day one, I think.
You know, just hitting
those limits
of dehydration, overexertion
of building shelter,
just heat,
all those things.
Trying to drink... um,
enough water and everything,
but my head is pounding.
Like, it's gotta be a migraine.
And I feel nauseous.
I have to go throw up.
Sounds like you're doing
a little bit of that
"Naked and Afraid" orchestra
over here.
Oh...
- Oh, man.
- You all right?
- Does this help at all?
- It feels good.
Yeah?
Yeah, 'cause my neck
and my head are just
[bleep] pounding.
OK, I don't think I'm gonna
throw up anymore.
I think that's subsided.
I kept feeling the waves
in the tent, but--
Yeah.
Now there's--
oh, gosh, it feels good.
I ended up throwing up
everything that I got down
today, all the water.
Even though I'm still
uncomfortable, I feel like
if I didn't have a screaming,
pounding headache,
I could probably get some sleep
'cause I am very tired.
All the hydration I did have,
it just went out the window.
Day one, it just took its toll,
so I definitely feel like
I'm in hell right now.
How's the head feeling?
It's pounding really bad
right now.
- If we can find some willow--
- I did not see willow.
In the willow bark,
it has basically like
an aspirin trait.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
You can tell this is willow
by these long, skinny leaves
right here.
Um...
And basically, what I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna try
to just take some of this kind
of supple bark that's up here
and just kind of shave
some of it off.
Just like that.
OK, girl.
We're gonna administer some
willow bark to you, OK?
Bush medicine.
- OK.
- But it is a suppository.
- No!
- So we're gonna
have to...
It's-- it's a little rough.
Don't laugh.
I don't wanna hurt your head.
Just kind of, you know,
just take what you want
and just kind of munch on it
and, you know--
- Like actually chew it up
or is just like...
- Don't swallow it.
- ...kind of suck on it?
- Just kind of chew it up.
Yeah, and then suck
on the juices and just
let that kind of settle
in there,
and just, you know,
take it as you can handle it.
And we do have
fresh water, so...
OK.
OK, just take your time,
and hopefully that--
I'll take some of this and then
try to get some water in.
Yep.
Oh, gosh...
Cole, you have any more
of that willow?
It's hanging up right there
on this palm right here.
Oh, OK.
Awesome.
Yep.
Do you think it worked?
I feel like it worked enough
for me to at least
try some more.
Cole,
he found some willow bark.
After now about an hour,
hour and a half of having it,
I can tell the difference
in my headache.
Y'all were awesome.
It's good to have you
back at it.
Yeah.
In 15 minutes from now,
as that sun gets lower down,
it's going to turn into a bit
of a mosquito wild ground.
So we are going to do
what we can to keep
these mosquitoes at bay.
I'm hoping I get
a little sleep tonight.
We set our shelter on top of...
some sort of--
- Mites.
...devil mite creatures.
We don't know what it is.
We're getting bit...
um...
by something that keeps us
from all being able to actually
have a quality night's sleep.
You could swat 'em,
you could smack 'em,
but it doesn't seem to go away.
They must be literally damn
near microscopic.
There's no getting rid of it.
There's no scaring
whatever it is off.
You could feel
the welts starting to build up.
We have, I mean,
barely slept a wink,
and, um...
it is-- it's frustrating.
Not gonna lie,
the thought that I could
probably walk out of here
and definitely be home sleeping
before daylight
crosses your mind.
It's insane.
Here on day two.
I'm just going
for a little walk here.
We made it through the night.
It was a rough one.
Didn't sleep very well.
Definitely had
some biting insects.
I say "insects," we don't even
know what it is, really.
Because you can't see 'em.
I think I got, what?
I think four minutes of sleep.
Welcome to "Naked and Afraid."
Yeah.
What the [bleep] is that?
It's a tiny, tiny
little red ant.
- It is a little tiny [bleep].
- Yeah.
That welt is 10 times the size
of the thing that left it.
These little microscopic ants
out here
sting like a damn wasp.
- But if you look right in,
there's a couple.
- Oh, yeah.
To improve our night's
sleep tonight,
we're gonna pull
some palms out.
And this fire is gonna be
stretched into there.
And we're gonna start just
trying to nuke
all of those little
ground bugs in there.
Then once everything has been
burned hard, just white ash,
bugs don't like white ash
because it ends up
making them feel
like they're in a fire.
So because of that,
they will usually
leave us alone.
Burn, fire ants!
Looks pretty damn good.
Anything worth doing
is worth doing right.
Headed to get our water pot
that's cooled down
in the water.
We're thirsty.
Hoping that we're gonna find
some food.
There you go, right there.
There is a water snake here.
Almost right off the bat,
we see a water snake.
It's food, you know.
Might as well try to go for it.
- Wait, I got my whomping stick.
- All right, so see his head?
All you gotta do just
sneak close,
and then just hit them as hard
as you can on top of the head.
So I get a little bit panicked,
'cause I've never
done this before.
I know there's a handful
of snakes out here that are
non-venomous, and plenty
of 'em are venomous.
Harder for me to tell,
'cause, like,
kind of a snake's a snake,
and I don't get too close to it
to be able to tell
the difference.
Gonna come back your way.
Yeah.
Big whop.
Oh, [bleep]!
Boom! I miss it by, like,
just a couple inches.
Is that him right there?
To your right, Matt.
Right there,
see the little yellow grass?
- OK, you wanna whomp number two?
- Yeah, that's definitely him.
But then he comes up
on the land.
Get him!
OK.
Get him, get him,
get him, get him, get him!
- Swing him out.
- OK.
- Oh-h*, oh-h*-h*!
- There you go,
there you go.
Oh, look at you go!
All right,
do we want snake tonight?
It does kind of look
a little cottonmouth.
You might be
holding a cottonmouth.
I think I am.
Look at that head.
What are you doing
holding it alive?
- That is a cottonmouth.
- Why are you
holding it alive?
That is a cottonmouth.
Oh, my gosh--
did I just grab a venomous snake
with my bare hands?
You want a little snake
for dinner?
- Yeah.
- All right.
Let him kind of go
towards the ground,
and then whop him on the head
with your stick.
Nailed him.
And then just grab him
right behind the head.
- Oh, God.
- Whop it.
- Whack him.
- Wait!
He's coming back at you.
Don't don't don't don't!
- That is a cottonmouth.
- All right.
Let him kind of go towards
the ground,
and then whop him
on the head with your stick.
Nailed him.
And then just grab him
right behind the head.
- Oh, God.
- Oh, whop it.
Whack him.
Wait.
Hang on.
Get him.
Oh, he's coming back at you.
Good job.
- Oh!
- Oh, I got him then.
Oh, my gosh.
You know, I'm proud of you.
Oh, my heart's pounding.
She understands right now,
that she just accomplished
something that her body
said no, her mind said no.
Tori has embraced the skill
she didn't have before.
That's exactly
what I came out here for.
- Ooh!
- Stop it!
Normally that would just send
me running, but being out here,
you find out that you're
just way more capable of...
doing something when you start
letting go of that fear
that holds you back
from everything.
You get to feed us a snake.
Hot, hot, hot.
Now this is what you call
straight off the grill.
- Well, it's good.
- It's really good.
- Really good.
- It's like sweet.
It almost tastes
like pork rinds.
Look at you, snake master.
I am Tori,
and I approve this message.
Snake is delicious.
Oh, my gosh, I'm getting eat up.
No-see-'ems.
No-see-'ems decided to just make
a huge appearance,
so we were getting ate alive.
Yeah, we gotta make sure
we smoke our fire out,
'cause they're coming
for us tonight.
...mosquitoes are here.
And my bed sheet during
the night is now needed.
So we are hanging it up
and gonna spread it out
across the three of us.
The buzzing of the mosquitoes
never end.
Really aggravating.
Even with both fires,
it is not deterring
the mosquitoes.
It's not good.
Yeah, tonight's gonna be
a long night.
I am itching.
So second night,
how'd you guys sleep?
I still did not sleep well.
I got maybe an hour or two
of sleep.
Yeah, I didn't sleep
all that great.
I'm worried because
a lot of times the bugs
and everything's kind
of distracting you from really
calming down and going to sleep.
And I know it could
potentially take you out.
It is just--
thick with bugs and mosquitoes
and flies and biting flies.
Yeah, they're out there heavy.
See if you can see, I've got
a lot of mosquito bites
just all over my forehead.
My arm is just ate up with...
bug bites to my legs
and then my feet.
Yeah, I'm just riddled...
with bites.
All of the flies are
right here with us today.
We wanna thank everybody
for showing up.
There may not be
any mosquitoes
because of fly competition.
- Yeah, they're intimidated.
I don't know if you can see
these gnats,
but if you can,
imagine your entire face being
engulfed in little tiny gnats
going in your ear,
your nostrils, up your eyes.
is the least comfortable
that I've ever had.
I could go for some food.
I know y'all can.
That's a South delicacy.
It's a lot of work to get
a heart of palm.
It involves chopping
a tree down to get
the small little center.
What I'm gonna do here,
is get a little swamp cabbage
out of here.
But inside it is
a lot of nutrients,
carbohydrates, and sugars.
Cole, oh my gosh,
there's two squirrels
right up here in the tree.
We're gonna go k*ll
a squirrel real quick.
This is the normal lifestyle
for me,
creeping around the woods
just like I'm doing.
Growing up, I lived pretty much
in a trailer park
on the east side
of Austin, Texas.
One way for us to save money,
we were always eating
wild protein.
It wasn't until I started
dating that I realized like,
"Oh, most people get
all of their food
from the grocery store."
Cole has spotted a squirrel.
Right there.
Oh.
You had that arrow
still up there.
You got him!
Wow!
Oh, my gosh!
Yeah.
I'm glad he got him.
And you could put him out
quickly so it wasn't
a slow death.
Big day.
Matt was cutting the heart
of palm.
Going in the pot.
One squirrel for three people
is not a lot.
However, there's enough
complexity in this cabbage palm
to actually make us feel full.
Out here in the wild,
we don't get a lot of veggies.
- We thank you, squirrel.
- Yes, thank you.
- Much appreciated.
- It's the rule of life.
All right.
Down the hatch.
I tell you what,
this is the most tender squirrel
I've ever had.
- It's a good squirrel.
Yeah.
All these years,
obviously I've had partners
that have got food,
but I've actually
never, through the last
sh**t stuff with a bow
and bring me dinner.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Freaking love you, bud.
- Dude, thank you so much.
It is a, uh,
it's a pretty special feeling.
It feels almost like in a way
like you pass a torch.
Oh, man.
I'm one of the first people
to ever feed Matt
with a bow and arrow
on a challenge.
And...
...that's huge.
I'm excited.
I'm excited to be
a part of this.
I love it.
It is the morning
of day five,
and we are already very much
a really close-knit team.
We don't even go
to the waterhole
without each other.
On the map,
there shows another pond.
We should go check it out,
too, while we're here.
OK.
Let's check this pond out.
Is that a log?
Wait, is that what you're--
Right in the middle there?
Is that not--
- Is that an alligator?
- That looks like.
- Yep.
- It is.
- OK.
- Yes!
That's about a six,
maybe almost seven-foot
alligator in this little pond.
It's mating season,
and it's k*ll or be k*lled.
We're either gonna get
snapped up by one of 'em,
or we're gonna snap one of 'em.
I want one of those
things bad.
There he is again,
right there.
Yep.
He just popped right back up.
That's about seven foot.
Yep, he's doing a turn.
He might stretch to eight.
We've got our first gator
down here in the Everglades.
And I'm so stoked,
because that's all I've talked
about is I'm gonna
k*ll a gator.
With this hook,
you throw it over his back.
We're gonna hook it and you're
just gonna feel a tiny,
tiny bit of weight.
- OK.
And then just really
hard jerk back,
and then rodeo begins.
That's a seven
to eight foot gator.
They are dangerous.
It could seriously injure us
or possibly de-limb one of us.
So it's gonna be my job
to lasso this sucker,
get it around his mouth.
He will get up to the shore
and fight and death roll
and go crazy, and then Tori
can give a knife chop
to the back of the head.
I've got mixed emotions on this.
I'm super excited,
'cause, like, this is gonna be
awesome, like, to live,
to tell this story, you know?
But also nervous, 'cause I--
I like my arms.
I'm pretty attached to them,
or my feet, and I would hate
for anyone to get hurt
um, doing this.
So you see him?
See his little head
sticking up there?
- Yeah.
Head's there.
I can see him.
You can barely see him.
He's slowly coming up.
- See him?
- All right.
- OK.
- Yeah, let that line
all the way go.
- OK, sorry.
Yeah, don't try to hang
on to it.
The anticipation.
All right, this is the one.
OK.
And just ease it.
- Ease it into him.
- OK.
It's on his back right now.
- Then you'll
feel tension.
- I feel tension.
And then jerk damn hard
and hold on like hell.
- Kind of jerk down.
- Yep.
- Whoo!
- Oh, my God!
There we go!
All right, guys,
work around this way.
Walk carefully,
walk carefully.
You got a good hook set.
It's not coming out.
It's not coming out.
I'm gonna cover your back here
in case he comes at us.
- Yeah.
Let him run a little bit.
Let him run a little bit out.
You get that string.
Yep, let him run
just a little bit out.
Let some slack out, Tori.
- Yep, a little slack.
- Sorry, sorry.
And, uh, just let it pull
out this way a little bit.
So you can get him
around this stump.
Don't let him
pull you into water.
Oh, my gosh.
All right,
pull hard a little bit.
Hold him right there.
Hold him right there
for a second.
I'm going in.
I'm not gonna let go,
though, so...
You just hooked
into a dinosaur!
Oh, my gosh!
Hold him right there.
Hold him right there
for a second.
You just hooked
into a dinosaur!
Oh, my gosh!
I can feel the rope just
burning blisters in my hands,
and I will not let go.
But we're only 10, 15 foot
from him, and gators can run
in a short burst
What we wanna do is
tire him out a little bit.
The more we can tire him out
right now,
the less problems
we have on land.
- Yeah,
- This is an extremely
dangerous situation,
and it just takes a second
for something bad to go wrong.
Let's pull him
a little bit more this way.
Come on!
Oh, there we go!
Pull him up!
Pull, pull!
- Oh, no.
- Pull, pull, pull!
OK, death roll time.
- OK.
- All right.
- Gonna get him prepped.
- Hold on.
All right.
Tie that up.
Imma do a couple
half-hitch on there.
- Here's the deal, Tori.
- All right.
In one motion,
you're gonna jump up,
knees on both his front legs,
and you're gonna hold
right behind his head.
OK.
- Yeah.
- Nice.
Woo-hoo!
- You...
- Imma let him go.
It's all yours.
You're officially
"Naked and Afraid."
I'm sorry, baby.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
I'm so sorry, buddy.
I'm so sorry.
I am feeling
a lot of emotions of...
You should be.
It's a passionate thing.
It still makes me get
teary-eyed to this day, so...
We're not gonna let you go
to waste at all.
Right now, I'm feeling
the emotional part of it, of...
taking a life.
'Cause I've not really
done that before,
and especially in that way,
you know.
I've shot some animals
growing up, but to stab it
and be the one to fully put it
to sleep, you know that's--
It's hitting me, but I'm still
running on adrenaline
right now.
I mean, it broke my heart,
but this means
that we're gonna have food.
We can have breakfast
and jerky throughout the day
and stuff and know that we're
gonna be good
while we're fighting
all the other elements
that are gonna be...
that are already
wearing us down.
Your hook set was money.
- I mean, one and done.
- Come here.
Bring it in here.
Yeah!
- Oh, man.
- Seriously, great job.
Awesome.
Awesome!
Thank you.
Now we'll be blood brothers
and sisters
for the rest of our lives.
- Yep.
- There's no turning back?
- No.
We've gone savage,
there's no way to go back.
Tori has definitely
impressed me
every bit
of these last three days.
It is absolutely incredible
to watch her come
from essentially novice
and really embracing
her true survival warrior.
She refuses to give up
and refuses to let fear
overtake what needs to be done.
And so she's
definitely impressive.
All right, let's keep
bringing this up here.
We'll get it processed up.
Yep.
Get it out of the heat.
We've got to process it
and get it on smoke
as fast as possible
because this heat and humidity,
it'll spoil that meat, you know,
within six hours
or something like that.
I start constructing the smoker.
I'm going to tie this up
with some
of the paracord that we have.
We'll basically make,
like, little grills,
little grates that we'll hang
all that meat on.
We'll just cover this
whole thing with palm fronds,
circle it,
have a small fire on the bottom,
you want it to
just be smoldering all day long.
Smoking it and curing it
preserves it for a long time
to where we can eat it
for a couple weeks.
How long does it usually
take to smoke it?
It'll be a couple days
on the jerky.
- Oh, wow.
- Out here.
So just for the next couple
days, we just gotta make sure
it's constantly smoking.
- Keep it smoldering, yeah.
We got a buzzard circling us.
There's like
four of 'em.
You know,
when you get birds
of prey or scavenger animals
like that, they're basically
like a flashing beacon
saying that there's meat
over here.
Potential for something
to come into camp
to get that meat is very high.
We're definitely gonna have
to keep our eyes out
for the Florida panther
and all the bears around here.
It's the buzzards.
They've been trying to come
around to get our...
um, some of the meat
that we've hung up.
Hey, y'all!
Don't get in my [bleep]!
Get!
Pff! Get!
No one's
gonna steal that huge
rack of ribs right there.
We're gonna start
a little special cooking.
A little bit of them swamp
gator bites.
I collected a good solid
This fat's rendered down
in this pot, and I now have
a ultimate chef feast
with this hot oil,
and anything I drop in there
is delicious.
Oh!
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, my gosh!
It looks amazing!
Oh, I want that piece.
That piece looks good!
I am so ready to chow down
and just get a little
fat and happy.
Ugh, I mean, it really smells
like fried chicken.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh, yeah.
It's got some salt flavor to it.
It's so good.
- Well done, dude.
- Yeah.
- Well done.
- Awesome.
Thank you
for cutting us up, too.
Yeah, I don't know.
- What?
- A mother bear with cubs?
Bad news bears.
Like, she could even be
sitting up this tree.
All that damn noise there was.
It's up the tree right now,
and it's holding on,
just looking at us.
You know, if they were
going to be like...
Yeah.
Something trying to take
our damn food out here.
Most that we can do,
can't put all our jerky
up here right now,
so the best we can do is
try to keep
some of these bigger slabs
and whatever's out there,
it could be a bear,
it could be anything,
it wants our jerky.
We're just gonna have
to stay vigilant.
We might have been robbed
by whatever was
in our camp last night.
We had two rack of ribs
laying up in that tree.
They're all gone.
Right now, I am finishing up
the cooking of this
absolutely gourmet-looking meal.
There's some tongue,
jelly roll, alligator leg.
Right now,
it smells like we're opened up
a barbecue joint,
and we have now
become bear snacks.
So you have to cook
what you can, eat what you can,
as fast as possible.
So we are meat-eating
like a son of a b*tch.
Got me!
Oh, my gosh.
That sucker looks
cooked to perfection.
I mean, look at that!
This is the jelly roll.
This is the jelly roll.
- Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
- Smoked skin on the outside.
We have a lot of meat
that we have to eat,
and then we have to eat
some more of it.
Bona fide gator leg
right here.
Reminds me of turkey leg.
Oh, yeah.
That's it.
That's it.
So we are standing outside
our camp, our tent,
because we are getting eat up
by these micro ants.
- Yeah.
It's seriously like
a yellow jacket sting.
Yeah, it is.
I mean, we just wanna lay down,
but we put ash on it
and then stacked palm fronds
up even more,
that we had burned them all out.
We don't even wanna be in.
Even though we got
a beautiful fire there,
we have our beautiful fire here.
It's like they just came
all back in.
You know it's a situation
when you hope a bear might come
and maul you to get you away
from these ants.
They're little hell ants.
Devil's rejects or something.
The mosquito population
has just increased by tenfold.
Yeah.
The mosquitoes are
getting progressively
thicker and thicker.
Yeah, they're definitely
starting to...
starting to make
their appearance.
The lack of sleep, I can tell,
is catching up to me.
And then, of course,
the millions of bug bites
that has just riddled
across my entire skin
and the insane itching.
From my ankles to my knees,
and you scratch one spot,
then also another spot
will start itching.
Well, yeah, if you had 15
[bleep] gnats per hour
dive bombing into 'em...
You know.
The bugs here
are unbelievable.
They're just going berserk,
and it's to the point to where
it's really driving me crazy,
kind of giving me quite a bit
of aggravation because there is
just no moment
of reprieve out here.
It's just, it's wearing on me,
and it's wore me thin.
Really,
I'm praying for some relief.
Like, I'm just sitting here,
and they're [bleep] constantly
going in my ears and my eyes.
It's just so [bleep] annoying.
I'd pray for 10 days of rain
to not have this.
Hm.
Cole has taken
the bugs and the elements
and is getting that to his head.
This has happened before,
you know, on his last XL.
This is brutal here.
I'm over this for sure.
That desperation, that moment
of mental weakness
is hard to see,
but it's one of those that...
could send you home real early.
Dude, are we gonna have
like one day without flies?
Oh, definitely not.
God damn!
It's just so [bleep] annoying.
Here we go.
You do that six, eight hours,
good to go.
It's gonna break off,
just hit us in the face.
- Totally fine.
- Stupid, dude.
- Everything's fine.
- [bleep] it.
I'm not gonna do this.
Damn the bugs!
God!
I've seen this happen before.
We're-- I'm hoping
he pulls through it.
But if he doesn't--
he's gonna
immediately spiral down,
and it's going to wreck
his momentum of any kind.
It's a tough place to live.
Yep.
And we can't lose him.
Damn it!
Damn the bugs!
God!
Getting through...
such a place of hell, you know,
it's a place of beauty,
but at the same time,
there's hidden hell
throughout it.
And I just,
you know, taking a walk
or going somewhere quiet is
always what I need.
Uh, man, I'm pretty
depressed in here.
Cole's having a tough time.
I mean, everyone's gonna
lose their cool at some point.
This place is not easy.
It's work every single day,
and it's a challenge.
But I hope Cole can get
through it.
So what you're saying is
all that walk
didn't exactly make you
feel better about it?
Mm, no.
That's a--
that's a shame.
There ain't much that's gonna
help my morale right now.
Cole right now has been
in a slump.
This place is getting to him.
It's tough to watch,
'cause I've seen
other partners get that before,
but I came out here to empower.
I have to remember,
this is my challenge to come in
and make them thrive on theirs.
Just gonna take it slow.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
OK.
Yeah, I see 'em, I see 'em.
- Nice!
- Hold on, hold on.
Oh, get-- oh!
OK, you got it, you got it,
you got it.
I see you shot just down,
just down to it right here.
Yeah, I feel like he went
that way.
Oh, there's blood
right here--
- Is it blood?
- Oh, yeah.
There ain't no denying
that shot.
I mean, lay out
the red carpet, baby.
This is essentially
the line to the dinner buffet.
He circled back.
I heard him.
Right there.
Wow!
Over here.
There he is, buddy.
There he is.
- Oh, nice, man.
- Nice!
Tough damn animal, buddy.
Hell yeah!
Nice job.
Thank you, buddy.
So appreciate this.
Just can't help, but,
on a moment like this
to get emotional,
because something has to die
for us to be able to live.
Unfortunately, today it was
the pig's life that was taken.
I'm so grateful to be able to...
to be able to feed my partners,
you know,
with such a great little animal.
This is an important thing.
It's his first pig
on a challenge.
Fantastic thing
for not just our survival,
but your survival mindset.
It's awesome to be out here
with him.
The sky's the limit.
All right, bud.
Let's uh...
Let's string it up
on a pole here.
Can't help but think
that this land has just
completely blessed us.
- Yeah.
It's guarded by those bugs
and the storms and the...
you know, the weather, all that,
but it's definitely
blessed us.
- Yeah.
- Anybody home?
- Yes.
Ah!
My boys!
Did you order
some bacon or what?
We're having bacon!
Oh, my gosh.
I'm happy for you, Cole.
I'm glad he got
himself together.
He just needed to go
blow off some steam.
And what better way to do that
than to hunt a pig?
We do a lot of processing
at Camp Survival.
- Camp Surthrival.
- Surthrival.
We are thriving out here.
You wanna take a little bite?
Heck, yeah.
Oh, that's hot.
Look at the juice
coming out of this.
Yeah.
I came out here because I wanted
to showcase my abilities.
I wanted to showcase
my mental fortitude.
These challenges are always
about building a better person
in my eyes.
And I'm super excited to go
forward in this challenge
because I think the second half
is gonna be
the better half
of this challenge.
Ain't nothing wrong with that.
- Cheers, bros-- whee!
- Cheers!
Oh, my God, it's good.
- Super juicy, too.
- Mm-hmm.
I know, like,
they are the hunters,
but I want to be able to provide
the way they're
providing for me.
I am that person that wants to,
"Yeah, give me that bow.
Show me.
I'll sh**t it, you know?"
I want that feeling
of giving to them.
Liver and heart are the most
nutritional piece
of every animal.
Pound for pound,
they pack the most nutrients.
So, if you're ever
on one of these,
make sure you eat it.
Cole, can I pull your bow?
Yep.
I would love to k*ll
something with it,
but I gotta practice
sh**ting it, so...
Yeah, let's do it.
I'll put up a couple
orange peels.
Make ourselves a little
sh**ting range.
First few shots are gonna be
pretty close,
'cause you're not going crazy.
So we'll just stand over here,
and we'll sh**t a couple
into this hill.
Should stay there.
I would like to, um,
be able to get some practice
in with the bow and arrow
and see if I could possibly
come up with a rabbit
or some other small game
by the end of my 21 days.
I shot a bow when I was a kid,
but I haven't done it
in at least 23 years.
It brings back my childhood
memories, and I just wanna
see if I still have it.
Is kind of tuned
for three fingers under,
um, it probably doesn't make
a ton of-- a ton of difference,
but it just, yeah, it just gets
you a little more in line
with that arrow
whenever you anchor.
Maybe your three fingers
would be my four fingers.
If Tori wants to take my bow
and have-- and try to have
that opportunity,
why not let her and go?
And that's just gonna boost
her morale and, and just,
you know,
boost the whole camp up.
A little bit of practice
and stuff, and...
and she's gonna be right there
k*lling stuff
just like Matt and I.
Nailed it.
What do you even need
practice for?
I got it.
Got it.
Maybe move back
just a little bit?
Let's extend it out
a little bit.
OK.
Pretty good.
Ah!
Lean forward slightly.
Don't lean back.
Like you're gonna attack it.
Oh, not bad.
- Sweet.
- All right.
Oh, gee.
OK.
Yeah.
Not bad.
I stayed all within a clump,
so I was pretty impressed
with myself.
I want to be able to use
that skill and be able
to take down a k*ll
that I can then
present to Cole and Matt
and say, like,
"I provided this for y'all."
I'm pretty stoked inside
right now.
[bleep].
It's definitely gonna rain.
Yep.
Son of a b*tch.
Oh, [bleep]!
It's actually raining.
Welcome to the Everglades.
If we're not gonna bite you,
we're gonna wash you out.
I really hope this
doesn't continue on
throughout the night,
'cause that's gonna be
absolutely miserable.
It actually does rain in hell.
Look.
If this lasts, you know,
all night long,
or even until into tomorrow,
we'll be wet and miserable.
Oh, Schnikes!
Ooh, when it blows in here,
that is cold on the naked body.
I really hope this
does not go on all night.
So we shall see.
Oh, Lordy.
That's the sun coming
back the other way.
We're weathering out
the storm.
It's getting bad.
The wind is picking up.
I hope you can hear the thunder
in the background.
We're all huddled up here
in the shelter.
No.
The best we could do is
try to keep things as warm
as possible, keep this fire
going, but you never know
how long these rainstorms
are gonna last.
So Tori's stocking it up
with some wood.
We probably need to put
a palm on it.
Just a classic day over here
in the Everglades.
We've cleared off the back end
of our shelter.
Might be hard to see,
but we've closed up
most of that section to help
with the wind coming in.
And, uh...
And now...
Now we wait for this to hit us.
Hunker down in the rain.
Absolute crap for weather.
Yeah, that was a heck
of a good storm.
Yeah.
A lot of the pig jerky
is rotten
just from the humidity
out here.
Too humid, too wet,
no way to preserve food
whenever the air
is thicker than...
water.
Jerky's running low
and unfortunately we have
everything battling against us.
The humidity, the heat,
all those things have ruined
this meat,
and it's to the point
to where it's time
to go hunting.
Do you see this?
Interesting.
It's a tail drag.
If he came from here,
then he might be
in this palm back here.
He might have come back
to our pond.
Yeah.
It is pushing towards
the direction we're going,
I think, 'cause there's a leaf
kind of pushed up
in a mound there, like it's
kind of pushed this direction.
- Like a dragging.
- It's hard to tell.
Good little tail drag.
This whole trail has got
some grass that's laid down.
You can see this grass here.
It's been kind of laid down.
Because of that,
I think this alligator
may have come this way.
Can't really track him
with this grass.
- Oh, [bleep]!
- Oh, my God!
- Oh!
- Oh, [bleep]!
We gotta keep him away
from the water right here.
Got about a five and a half,
six-foot gator.
He's already pissed off.
- Oh!
- Bring him here.
All right, I'm gonna keep him
looking at me, guys.
Come here, Tori.
Grab the tail.
Oh, God.
Woo!
- Let's go!
- Imagine that's
your arm, dude.
- Let's go!
- You better be careful.
All right, do it.
Do it, Cole.
Oh, God.
All right, get, get, get.
Oh, God.
Whoo!
All right, dude.
My man.
Oh, my gosh, man.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, that was intense.
Cole, man.
One and done.
Oh, yeah.
I have now jumped
on the back of a gator.
I have caught snakes
with my bare hands
and pulled the tail of a gator.
So I am turning into just
this wild, wild woman,
and I really like her.
What's up, buddy?
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
- Are we doing this again?
- Get over here.
It always happens.
It always happens.
Let's go!
We eat another day.
Now the work begins.
Time to go back, get this dude
all cleaned up,
and put on the grill.
Whew! It's gonna be good.
Now, this is the gator bites
themselves going in.
Before, it was the gator fat
to render down to make the oil.
Now, this is the actual meat
that's going in here to make
the proper gator bite.
Catching alligator's dangerous.
Cooking with oil,
butt naked...
very dangerous.
All right.
I came out here with a goal
to keep fat and happy,
and I think that's exactly
what's happened.
Gator tail.
Mmm.
It's delicious.
- Come on now.
- All right.
So good.
At this point,
I mean, we're gonna be jogging
to the finish line
to be extracted.
And I didn't intend to come
here and gain weight, but...
But you're not gonna
lose a lot.
I'm not losing what I was
expecting to be losing.
No.
Now I'm just gonna have to go
home and lose it on my own,
and that's really tough.
- Fantastic.
- It is fantastic.
- g*dd*mn.
- Oh, get ready for it.
Here it comes.
Just when you think
you've got victory...
This place will continue
to beat you down.
Damn [bleep].
Oh, [bleep].
Oh, [bleep]!
Call a medic.
Call a medic.
Damn, [bleep]!
Oh, [bleep].
Oh, [bleep]!
Call a medic.
Call a medic.
No, [bleep].
Yeah, put your other hand
around your left hand.
Nah, OK, lift it up.
Let me see it again.
Yeah, .
All right.
God damn it!
It's the middle
of a rainstorm here.
We've been trying to stay warm.
We've been chopping wood
as fast as we can,
and, uh...
and unfortunately,
Cole right now just
cut the hell out of himself.
Howdy.
Was trying to cut up
some firewood
just to kind of get prepped
for the night
and shallow cut on the wood,
and it slipped and right up
to my other hand.
Um, just stupid little
mistake, man.
That's how fast it can happen.
You know, this is a great
example of what can happen.
And, you know, little things
like this could take somebody
out of the challenge.
Hopefully everything heals good
and no infection.
So...
fingers crossed...
...that, uh, not much pain
comes from it
and, uh, quick recovery.
That was proper Everglades,
you know, unleashing
hell on us right there.
- Yeah.
And surprisingly, I slept
one of the best nights so far.
- Yeah.
- Even with my finger
jacked up,
I did sleep really good.
I've cut my hand really bad.
It definitely sucks.
At this point, I think
the hunting is done for me.
With my hand in the shape
that it is, I don't think
that it's wise for me to get
out there and really,
you know, really put myself
through the paces
like I was before.
I think I could still sh**t
the bow, but it's time
to just hunker down
in the shelter
and lick my wounds.
Yeah, I'm a firewood getter
today, and, you know,
if you guys want to use the bow
at any point or whatever,
have at it.
- Yeah, appreciate it.
I think it's time we go
for a hunt.
- Good luck.
- Thank you, yeah.
Keep the fort
locked down, Cole.
All right, Cole, buddy,
we'll see you in a bit.
- Get us some meat.
- All right.
I've been hunting my entire
life, and I could sit here
and tell you how bad it sucks.
Not to be funny,
but Tori's super excited to be
a hunter and possibly get
an opportunity to bring in
a rabbit or something
like that.
You can tell she wants to learn,
and it's really cool
to see her evolve from even
day one till where we are today.
Ooh, wait, right, right there.
- The armadillo.
- Yeah.
It's an armadillo!
[bleep]!
That was super close.
Super close.
Tori's got a shot glanced
off at the top
of an armadillo shell.
Gotta be able to get
to where I can pull that bow
back a little bit more
if I'm gonna go
through that armadillo shell.
So, you don't
become savage overnight.
You gotta just keep working.
Number one rule to being
a hunter is,
even if you do miss,
you know, just never admit it.
Maybe we can catch
a squirrel or a rabbit.
Yeah.
Well, let's go.
- Bring the knife and--
- Yeah, let's hunt it up.
I know this is my last
opportunity to be able
to go out and k*ll something
with the bow and be able
to bring back food for the guys
and myself and have
that final meal.
It's a lot of pressure,
but I know that I'm capable
of coming out here
and doing this.
Oh, [bleep]!
You got it!
You hit his leg!
There it is, there it is,
there it is.
OK, you got it, you got it,
you got it.
- Gosh!
- Alright.
All right, so right here,
got a couple of these
little walking catfish.
Highly invasive
throughout Florida,
they're going to our buddy
Hootie, the little owl.
I wanna do it.
Yeah, buddy!
- Our home has been christened.
- Awesome.
It's so cool.
We're literally catching food
to feed our pet.
- Put that on.
- For real.
That's some [bleep] people would
be eating on this challenge,
and we're feeding it
to our pet owl.
Oh, that's hilarious.
It won't go far.
You hit it good.
- Gosh.
- All right, there it is.
There it is.
There it is.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Oh, [bleep].
I know, baby.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're in no pain now.
Whoo!
God dang!
I'm sorry.
I knew that shot.
I took off its back leg.
I was not letting this one get
away and be maimed and lost
in the brush,
so we barreled through it.
Taking a life is not easy.
I don't think that's something
I will ever get used to,
but I feel like it's something
that I need to do
'cause you can't just keep
eating food at your table
and not really know
what it truly takes
for it to be there.
This rabbit will feed us today,
all three of us.
I'm proud of myself for going
out and being able to...
come back with lunch
and dinner for tonight.
- Cole.
- Yep.
You got any carrots to go
with this rabbit stew?
Nice.
Sweet.
Tori brang in a rabbit
on the last full day
of our challenge to get us
through this brutal hike.
I mean, you really can't ask
for more in a partner.
And very proud of Tori.
Congratulations.
- Good job.
- Oh, thank you, thank you.
Way to follow through with it.
I was not letting this one
get away.
And now you contribute
with some protein
on our very last day.
Proud of you.
Today you came through huge,
because you've been wanting
to do that so bad.
I wanted to be able to give
back to y'all, you know,
in that way.
And, uh...
Well, you nailed it.
We get to eat a rabbit stew
today because of me.
It's gonna feed us for this day
that is gonna take us
on and through
extraction tomorrow.
This has been a whirlwind
of excitement and growth
and challenges, and I wouldn't
change it for anything.
I'm ready for bunny heart,
bunny kidneys.
- All right, so...
- The heart?
- Is it the heart, you sure?
- Yep.
- Ooh, that is hot.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- My first bow k*ll.
Thank you.
- Thank you to the rabbit.
- Ooh.
- Mm, delicious.
- Oh, that's nice.
That's like buttery heart.
Mm, that's good.
- That is super buttery.
- Fantastic.
- Delicious.
- Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad I could give
back to y'all.
Camp Surthrival.
We didn't just survive.
We surthrived.
We made something special
out here, guys.
Yeah.
Wow.
You guys, we are four hours
away from day 21.
- Yes.
- Four hours.
And tomorrow,
we exit this b*tch!
You guys wanna stay
a day longer or anything?
- No.
- Hell, no!
Nope, I'm out!
Extraction, here we come!
- Day 21.
- Day 21.
Woo!
- Let's get the hell out of here.
- Yeah.
Right now,
we're going into battle.
No warrior goes into battle
without their w*r paint,
so I say we w*r paint it up.
Tori, this is your first ever
extraction, and you're about
to find out that the hardest
part of the challenge
is yet to come.
- Oh.
As hard as it's gonna be,
I cannot wait to get
to that finish line,
because it's gonna be
that final moment,
that final rewarding feeling
of knowing we did this.
I know this hike
is gonna be hard,
but we're gonna get through it.
I'm excited,
so I'm about to get steppin'.
Whoa!
Yeah!
it's never gone out.
This challenge is almost
officially over.
And I'm so pumped,
it's not even funny.
But I know it is not over yet.
This is the most important part
to get us
to our extraction vehicle.
And we have a long way to go.
Well, let's take a look
at that map.
OK.
It's a lot of water
between those two points.
- Here we are.
These are our waterholes
that did us so well.
We're gonna take
this peninsula out, head east.
East.
And our extraction is,
of course,
it's out in the swamp.
It's-- yeah,
there's a lot of water.
Look at that.
Look how much water
is out there!
Let's go get into it.
- Let's get it.
- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
Uh!
Let's go!
These extractions,
they're not an easy task.
This is gonna
be an all-day adventure
through some of the toughest
terrain out here.
It is cranking hot.
It's 105 degrees with humidity,
and it's sucking every part
of our life out of our body.
This is a long walk.
This thing is going
through bushes,
through the swamps.
There are snakes at every turn.
You see where alligators
have bedded.
And if we don't stay vigilant,
if we don't stay strong,
we might step on a snake,
step on a gator.
This extraction walk is
absolutely up there
with some of the toughest.
Goodbye, Camp Surthrival.
That's how you thrive
in hell right there.
Oh, I'm already
getting teary-eyed.
You better save it
for the hike, girl,
'cause it's gonna be rough.
To get to their extraction
point six miles away,
Matt, Tori, and Cole
will have to navigate
the dense Everglades forests
littered with thorns
and territorial water moccasins
and trek through large swaths
of six-foot-tall sawgrass
and marshy swamp land
flooded by recent rains
where 500-pound alligators
wait for their next meal.
It's freaking tight in here.
Yeah, it's real tight.
I hope my navigation skills
are on point.
This is a big area.
It's wet.
It's boggy.
There's all the snakes,
panthers, the alligators,
you know, all the things
that could harm us.
It's imperative
that we stick together
and we work as a team,
keep our heads on a swivel.
Just one step at a time is
gonna get us
that much closer
to the extraction.
I mean, it's so thick,
it's hard to even
tell which direction
we're headed.
Oh, yeah.
Watch out for the briars.
Oh, God.
They stab you
in the foot, in the face,
in the...
Oh, there we go.
That's a thorn.
Oh, mother...
Oh, dadgummit.
- Oh, man.
- Damn, dude.
The frickin' thorns
are no joke.
- Damn.
- Oh!
That got me.
It's one of those...
- Some of these thorns...
- Wow, mother trucker.
...are half-inch long,
inch long.
- Oh, it's in there good.
- Oh...
Good one.
Thanks.
This is borderline back out
and find somewhere different.
We're in the thickness
of it all, and it is just
thorn after thorn
and bush after bush
that is just scratching us.
This environment sucks,
but I need to do
whatever I can.
Give everything I've got.
Just get to the finish line.
Don't start giving up yet.
Oh, dadgummit!
Oh, yeah.
It looks like we're coming
out of this forested area.
Looks like a straight swamp
up here.
Feel that heat coming
forward here?
Yeah.
The hot a*s wind.
Absolutely radiating.
It is beyond muggy right now.
It is cranking.
It's that thick air,
you could chew on it.
- Yeah.
This is where I'm wanting
to wish we had a little bit
more of our water.
Muggier than the devil's
breath himself.
People die in this kind of heat.
Hey, watch out!
Oh!
Snake just took off
right there.
- Oh.
- Oh.
God dang, man.
Hey, you were really close.
Keep your eyes peeled, y'all.
We don't need a frickin' snake
bite or a limb taken off
by a damn alligator.
All right, I think we're
pretty much through it.
Ow, ow.
Dude, this has gotta be it
right here.
It's gotta be here.
I mean, we came through
all the way across the swamp.
We stayed east.
Yeah, look right here.
That's our peninsula.
And that peninsula takes off
this way here.
We've gotta be right here
on this map.
- We're so close.
- We're in the swamp.
Absolutely.
I can hear something coming.
- Right there!
- Whoa!
- There we go!
- Yeah!
Yeah!
- Over here!
- Let's go!
Let's go!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Look at this piece of a vehicle.
- Come on over!
- Whoo!
Things didn't go
as planned in Colombia,
on my previous challenge.
But this 21 days, I think
it went exactly like I planned.
Hell yeah, dude.
Let's go!
I just gained two friends
for a lifetime...
...and, uh, it just...
it makes me happy
to spend this time
with such great people.
This is what I love.
I love to come out here
and do what I think is possible
and have badass people
along my side.
You know, that hits me deep,
and you know, and that's why,
you know, that's why
this challenge meant so much.
Cole completes the challenge,
shedding seven pounds
while his primitive survival
rating jumps from 7.4 to 8.0.
Let's get the hell
out of here.
Oh, my gosh.
Get on in there, buddy.
Ha-ha!
Whoo!
This is it.
We made it!
We made it,
we made it, we made it!
I am ecstatic.
Day 21.
I didn't think this day was
gonna get here.
I'm trying not to cry,
not from pain, but from growth
and what I've seen in myself,
finding another Wonder Woman
deep inside of me.
In 21 days,
Tori lost 12 pounds.
Her PSR rises from 6.7 to 7.1.
Florida Everglades.
Ha-ha-ha!
Right now is an absolute
incredible moment.
I came out here
with one goal in mind,
and that is to help out
two people survive
in the Everglades,
but not just survive,
but thrive.
And every bit of it
was a challenge.
This place was truly one
of the hardest places to live.
And the three of us did it
in absolute style.
Coming out here and watching
them grow and thrive,
eat every day.
And I'm 307 days,
let's get 307 more.
Stay savage!
With a total of 307 days
under his belt,
Matt lost 8 pounds.
His PSR rises from 9.8 to 9.9.
I'll never be the same
after this.
This was amazing.
Life-changing challenge.
- Let's go!
- Whoo!
This is an unforgiving land.
You're not gonna
fake it out here.
Maybe I'm not a survivalist.
Maybe I'm not supposed
to be here.
You got it or you don't.
Let's go!
Whoo!
This challenge is
a whole new level.
The very first
no-tools challenge
in Naked and Afraid history.
We're content creators,
which means this may be
The most
insufferable episode yet.
A snake.
Agh!
- It's a leech!
- Ow!
Medic!
It's an absolute beast
of a place out here.
Oh [bleep]
And you will see
what you're made of.
Oh, my god.
You're so [bleep]
full of [bleep]
I'm not arguing with you
no more.
We're about to get
downpoured on.
Get the [bleep] out of here.
This is taking
everything out of me.
Are you kidding me?
I can't back down now,
I've got to keep going.
It's time to nut up
or shut up.
There he is!
Whoo!
Yes!
Exciting!
Whoo-hoo!
Go hard or go home.
