Original subtitles

Being my first time in the Philippines,

it is hot out here.

My bald head is sweatin'.

My first impressions of the area,

it's pretty thick. Reminds me of my ex-girlfriend.

Being naked out here,

I know it's gonna be a challenge.

I was snowboarding about two weeks ago,

slipped and hit a rock, and I have

17 stitches in my butt.

Ooh, rock, rock, rock.

Landed on a very sharp rock.

It ended up cutting my left butt cheek

and shooting in the inside of my right butt cheek.

Emergency.

And I have five stitches on the left,

and I got 12 on the right.

The doctor said if it would have hit the hole,

I wouldn't be doing this challenge.

Shout out to my doctor, man.

Sewed my right back up.

Nothing's gonna stop me from doing this challenge.

Not a new butt hole.

There ain't an ass doctor on Earth

that's gonna stop me from this challenge.

I guess I just got to prove myself more.

This is an ass-tostrophe.

I'm just not sure anybody can survive here for 21 days.

My God!

Two strangers.

Run! Go, go, go, go!

God.

No food.

No water.

21 days.

Don't tap.

Die first.

Naked and Afraid.

The terrain here is

a lot greener than where I am from.

I'm from the desert,

so I'm not used to seeing so much water around,

so that's exciting.

People look at me,

and they don't expect that I'm a survivalist.

I'm the kind of hiker that hikes up mountains

and down canyons in my bikini.

I have spent the majority of my life outside.

I grew up in a very rural community

in the middle of nowhere.

My parents would bring us camping.

We were shown how to

start fire with sticks.

How to skin animals.

And I can catch fish with my hands.

It's a really good party trick.

The day before I arrived for this challenge,

my now wife and I tied the knot in Vegas.

I think I was always pansexual.

I think I've always been attracted to people

for their personality,

not their sexuality.

I want to prove to myself

and my wife that I can

survive out here for three weeks.

Ellie starts the challenge with a primitive survival rating,

or PSR, of 6.9.

I am ready to get out into the jungle.

Being naked out here for three weeks,

I'm gonna be stinky, sweaty.

Maybe could get bit somewhere I don't want to get bit,

but I think I can handle it.

I've always been adventurous.

Growing up, I've always been an athlete.

Basketball.

Rollerblading.

Snowboarding.

When I was young,

my dad used to always take me fishing.

And then it just kind of grew from that,

from like fishing to camping to spearfishing.

That's a good flounder, babe.

I have a daughter. She's eight.

She's also an adventurous soul like me.

Loves to fish, loves to snowboard.

Being a single dad is tough.

It has its moments,

but it keeps you stronger.

It keeps you on your toes. She keeps me younger.

And I want to show my daughter that you can do anything.

I want to test my strength.

I want to face adversity and I want to overcome.

When there's a will, there's a way.

Jarrell starts the challenge

with a PSR of 6.8.

I'm the Thrilla in Manila.

I'm the Wakanda warrior from Seattle.

Yeah, boy.

And there's another jeep.

What the heck?

. Here we go.

What's up?

Hello.

You have clothes on.

Yeah, it's a little bit weird, right?

Yeah.

- Jarrell. - I'm Ellie.

- Nice to meet you. - I guess we can give a hug.

How you doing?

I'm doing great.

Clothes are on.

I guess we get to wear clothes for this one?

Shoot. I wish.

Yeah. I think we got to get naked.

You know, it's not Naked and Afraid if you don't.

- Okay. - It's just afraid.

All righty.

Let's do it.

I'm, like, really a grower, not a shower but...

Tits out for Jesus.

Getting undressed together, it kind of threw me off guard.

Tried not to look, but,

you know, I'm a man.

You got to look a little bit.

Welcome to the jungle.

All right.

We have some bags around here somewhere?

Yep.

Looks like this one's yours.

Thank you.

Got our bags. Let's see what's inside.

I brought a mosquito net 'cause I hate bugs.

Nice.

Well, I brought my kukri.

- That's gonna be very useful. - Yeah.

Looks like we got another thing hidden right here.

A pot, and there's something inside.

Got a little secret.

What?

- Nice. - Fire starter.

That's gonna come in very handy.

And looks like

I have a map here.

Heck yeah.

And...

Looks like we're right here.

And there's a little waterfall, too.

That's probably where we should make camp.

Fresh water, probably food,

a lot of resources.

All right.

Looks like we have quite the hike.

- Yep. Let's do it. - Let's go.

Ellie and Jarell

are entering the dense jungles of Luzon Island

at the end of the dry season,

when extreme temperatures and intense humidity

drive the heat index well over 100 degrees.

Winding rivers and waterfalls

cut through the slick, rocky terrain,

teeming with venomous spiders

and deadly snakes.

But their biggest threat

could be the relentless swarms of tropical fire ants,

known for their aggressive behavior.

A single painful bite

injects powerful toxins

that can cause extreme allergic reactions

and destroy tissue cells.

That ground is hot.

Yeah.

God damn.

Sorry you gotta look at my hairy ass.

It's all right, I won't look too hard.

I also have...

- There's 17 stitches back there. - What?

In my butt hole.

Yep. Had a little accident a few weeks ago.

What happened?

Um, well,

I went snowboarding,

'cause I knew it would probably be the last time of the season.

And I went over a rock,

and it, sliced my left butt cheek

and shot inside my right butt cheek.

My God.

- So, I mean, it's not... - So,

how long ago did they stitch you up?

Two weeks.

All right.

I am surprised to hear that he has

17 stitches in his butt.

That is a little bit concerning.

I just hope that he doesn't

get uncomfortable on day four and tap out.

It's getting there,

but definitely can't take a fall,

or, um,

hopefully no bug tries to crawl up there.

Yeah.

Just have to be really, really careful.

- Yep. - And just go really slow.

Ooh, you hear that?

I think it sounds like a waterfall.

Heck yeah.

Well, would you look at that?

Wow.

Whoo!

We made it.

My gosh.

- This is where we're calling home? - We're so lucky.

- Look at that. - yeah!

Thank God this is where we can make camp.

Fresh water.

If I take a , I can wash my ass.

Um, we need to find

- where we're gonna put our shelter. - Yeah, for sure.

- Do a little recon and see what's up. - Recon. Yeah.

- Because obviously it will rain a little bit. - Definitely.

Like, how far away from the water

does our shelter actually need to be?

What about if we went and checked out,

- like, right up there? - Yeah.

- Check up there. - Yeah.

Let's walk down this river a little bit.

- Whoo! - Yeah, these rocks

do worry me a little bit.

So easy to twist your ankle.

I'm more of a rock...

a rock jumper type guy.

Better to go slow,

especially when we've got our whole journey ahead of us.

I'm gonna try to...

I'm gonna try to do a alley-oop jump from here.

Real slippery.

What you think? Right there, maybe?

I don't like all of the cobwebs. There's obviously

some creepy crawlers

- in there. - There's definitely some spiders.

But if we start our fire right there,

it could reflect the heat off of this rock.

Hell yeah.

We can try to get materials, start kind of doing

the shelter and clearing out some of these dead leaves...

- Yeah. - ...making sure there's no damn...

- Yeah. - ...centipedes or spiders under here.

Yeah.

'Cause I do have an open ass.

- You wanna hack some things? - Heck yeah.

There's a spider.

- There's a spider. - Get it.

We are gonna piss some spiders off.

Yeah, we are.

That overhang is

infested with cobwebs,

and those cobwebs look like black widow's nests.

Look at these ants.

Look at how big that thing is.

- Yeah, I... - And it's multiple colored.

- I don't want to get bit by him. - No.

Bitch!!

Biting me in my ass.

Mother.

I think we get a fire started, like, right now.

God damn it.

Start the whole thing on fire,

the whole camp spot on fire.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There we go.

Fire!

I told you you got it, easy.

That took you, what? Three seconds?

I think we're gonna work well, me and El.

I think we're gonna get along really good. She's smart.

She's pretty dope.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna go

look for some, big sticks.

Gotta go slow.

You have to be so careful with that butt injury.

I'm just doing what I do at home.

Woo!

I hope he's careful and doesn't hurt himself

on the first night.

I feel good.

My butt is doing great.

I'm not even tired.

If it's gonna be like this for 21 days,

piece of cake.

What the was that?

Woo! That was close.

Almost took a few falls today.

I gotta slow down a little bit.

I'm a little too excited.

Jesus.

I don't know if you heard. I almost bit it.

I heard you.

I can't hurt myself on day one.

No, you can't. We have to...

- What was your idea? - The shelter,

I don't know if you wanted to wedge, like,

a long stick maybe like that.

Yeah.

Using the large boulder

as an existing wall for their shelter,

Jarrell and Ellie plan to build a lean-to

by wedging a long tree limb into the rock face

and attaching it to a Y-stick

anchored to the ground with heavy rocks.

Once the frame is built,

they will drape mosquito netting over the center beam

to keep out the bugs.

We got most of our shelter set up.

We're killing it.

Thank God I had a partner like her

and not some

Karen or a bitch.

Okay.

Come on. Come on in the net.

Come on in the net.

We're in here. Mosquito netted up,

and we got it, like,

down at the bottom, too, so it's, like,

we're impenetrable. Okay?

Impenetrable.

Ooh.

My God.

God.

bitch! Ant!

- Goddamn, bitch! - Go on!

Just kill him!

I don't like that.

ants.

these bugs.

sucks.

It's light out.

We made it through day one.

It was brutal.

It was brutal.

Ants rule this place. Goddamn.

The ants rule the jungle here.

We're pretty up.

I have stitches in my ass,

so I'm trying to sleep on my ,

but you don't want to sleep on your

when there's fire ants,

and I did not want to get stung on my.

Right now, I'm getting some ash.

Put it around the campsite.

Messes up the ant senses.

I don't want to get bit again. Also,

shelter is gonna need some improvement.

Our hips hurt.

Our shoulders hurt.

So we have collected banana leaves

to lay on the floor of our shelter.

We're gonna have a mattress.

Tempur-Pedic.

Got rocks all around.

So nothing can come in.

Tonight should be a lot more comfy than last night.

Last night was a little brutal.

Ellie has a mosquito net blanket,

and she's tying the corner so we can make a big blanket.

And...

Yep. I will.

She's ordering me around, but I'll accept it.

So we're just inside a mosquito net.

And on the inside, inside a mosquito net.

So we're not taking no chances.

Good night.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Feels good on my tissue.

With the shelter improvements,

I feel much better today.

I got way better sleep last night.

But gotta get some food.

I only got 6% body fat.

I gotta eat something.

You've only got five now.

He has zero fat reserves,

and that is a little bit concerning.

I kind of have a feeling

that he might get

a little bit more irritable.

We just gotta find some protein, some meat.

Gonna flip some rocks, try to find some snails.

I think I seen a shrimp.

I'm gonna cut our mosquito net for a fish trap.

We got a lot here, so might as well use it.

Right now, I'm trying to duplicate

the net I used in Hawaii

to catch freshwater shrimps.

It's just a circle ring fish trap,

and you kind of just put bait in the middle and drop it down.

They're all just underneath the crevice of those big rocks, chilling.

And then they come out,

and then you just lift up, and you get them.

- Worth a try? - I don't know.

I'm not jumping for joy.

Hopefully it's not too shallow of a net.

If you lift it up, they might go over the edge.

Ellie's dope, but everything's worth a try,

especially when in a survival situation.

You gotta try it all.

Not super confident in it.

We're gonna see.

We are gonna see.

It was just a negative mindset,

but I'm not gonna let it affect me,

and I'm a chill-ass dude,

and I will continue to be real chill.

Just need to go somewhere

where the water is not rushing.

I know how to get food in this water,

for damn sure.

Damn it, he's fast.

Damn it.

Wish I had fishing line and a hook,

but it's okay.

They can't make it too easy on us.

What the?

Hopefully, he gets something,

but I don't have high expectations,

so I'm gonna go cut some saplings

to make a basket

to try and catch some shrimp.

Yeah.

From my research at home,

I know they come out more at night.

Okay, I shall be back.

It's gonna be tough to find food at night.

It's gonna be a risk-reward thing.

Damn, you can't see anything.

I'm using the light from the camera

to give me any light.

This is probably not the smartest, smartest thing to do,

but , I don't know.

We're just gonna have to go slow.

Kind of scary.

I'm a little bit worried about him.

Those rocks are so slippery.

And it's dark out.

So I hope he's safe.

Got this ass!

Christ.

What the was that?

Damn, you can't see anything.

Kind of just like shrimping blind, basically.

I'm just gonna do this for a little while longer.

Got his ass!

Christ.

Come on, baby!

Let's go!

I don't want to be loud, but...

Go slow!

Go slow!

- I know, I'm trying not to. - Slow down.

Got his ass. You bitch.

I knew I'd get him.

Ellie, I got a surprise.

I didn't think it would work.

But I am

so incredibly pleased

that they're working.

You see how big he was?

Yeah.

Feels good.

Yeah, baby.

Have a new lease on life?

Shrimp.

Just like I knew it was here.

Let's keep the head, though, Ellie,

- so I can use it as bait. - Okay.

- Did you see that juice come out? - Yep.

Looks amazing.

- Cheers. Woo! - Our first shrimp.

That tasted really good.

We gotta get some more of those.

Doc, you ready for me?

Jarrell's stitches from his snowboarding accident

have been in for 16 days

and are ready to be removed by the medical team.

This is not usually the position I like to be in.

Just don't even pick up snowboarding.

Just... Just...

Just do ballet or something.

Don't snowboard.

There's no more discharge.

No sign of infection. No redness.

It's a good day to take it out today.

It's gonna sting a bit.

Ooh!

You got this, Jarrell.

Ooh!

Is that one close to my butthole?

Yep.

Whoa, that felt crazy.

Let me tell you, I wouldn't wish

that sensation on anybody.

They say the G-spot is in a man's butt,

and they might be right.

That's it?

All the stitches are gone, baby.

I'm a free man.

That didn't feel good.

But it's done now.

You ain't got to talk about my booty no more.

No more booty.

And I'm Black, so hopefully they can't see me.

Incog-negro.

"Go out and catch shrimp at night," they said, and then you

bust your ass.

Like, you can't do.

It's pitch black.

I'm gonna go scout some more spots.

There can't just be one shrimp in these ponds.

There's got to be more, man.

Hopefully I can get this damn fish basket done

and get some big ass shrimp in it.

We're starving right now.

I caught a little fish.

How big?

He's a little guppy.

It's little but, man, it's...

It's bait. This is bait.

That is a snack.

We need a decent amount of protein.

Can we catch some, baby?

, man.

It's pissing me off.

I just know my fisherman skills are good.

I know it. I'm from the Pacific Northwest.

Okay, we'll just try this spot.

Goddamn.

Nothing..

We've been a week without,

you know, real meals.

I am a little bit worried

because he is

getting skinnier and skinnier.

Nothing.

I see some tadpoles in there, though.

Being in this kind of starvation mode,

we're going to be miserable and irritable

and going downhill.

That is not gonna be conducive with finishing the 21 days.

I think I'll just...

I think we should just throw all that bait just in here.

- I mean, I only caught one shrimp. - Yeah.

Did you test it to see if it fit?

No, not yet.

It'll fit in there.

You haven't tried to put it in yet?

- No. - Why not?

Because what the difference does it make?

I've already started.

We'll make it fit no matter what.

Yeah, it'll fit no matter what. I already know that.

I got slightly irritated with Jarrell

because he said, "Why didn't you do something different?"

Whatever.

Ellie, I think, is hungry.

She's getting a little tone-y.

I don't be liking tones.

I'm a grown-ass man.

Can't hold her hunger, but...

whatever.

I finished the fish trap finally.

Maybe we also cut a few branches

and stick them in

like that and just shove it down in there.

Stick it real deep.

All right, tell me where you...

I was thinking

- right here is kind of calm. - Yeah.

Or under this ledge right here if you can put it down.

I feel like

that is a terrible idea.

That's calmer.

We can try whatever, though.

Yeah.

Now how do we want to hold this down in there?

A rock?

It's pretty heavy.

It is, but so are boats.

Sometimes it is frustrating.

She doesn't want to listen to any of my ideas,

and it's just like.

Probably got to put rocks either inside...

I don't think that will work.

Yeah, no, I do, but it's like...

You're putting the fish trap high in water.

It needs to be down on the ground.

Shrimp don't swim up to go into a cage.

Well, you do it. It's all you.

I'm a fisherman. Remember that.

Okay. You're hungry, so your tone is annoying me.

Ms. Know-it-all.

She knows it all.

Nothing I say...

"Nope, it's gonna do this. It's gonna do that."

Is there even shrimps in Utah? There's no shrimps in Utah.

I think Jarell is a little bit hangry,

and is being a little bit of a man-baby.

She's just... How she's talking to me

and just, like, hella condescending.

Like, what the are you being condescending to me for?

I just... I don't got time for it.

You're talking to me like you're 65.

I don't... I don't like it.

I'm not here to argue with

my mom or my older sister.

I'm not a child.

Like, keep your tone. Watch your tone.

Your tone sucks.

I just don't really have a lot of time

to mess around with plans that aren't going to work.

I guess I can

come off as frustrated,

but I don't have as much patience when

I'm sleep-deprived and hungry.

Come on, fish trap.

Give us something.

No critters.

No luck.

I knew it wouldn't work. There was

a hundred better places where she could have put it.

I think we should just put it in the same spot.

Is there anything in it?

Nothing.

I'm just so pissed.

That's the type of person I'm dealing with, man.

Who always thinks she's right.

Know-it-all.

I can sense that

he is getting more irritable.

But I predicted it

because he doesn't have

any meat on his bones.

Right now, his body is eating his muscles.

And if we don't get more food soon,

I think it will make it worse.

Definitely feeling weaker.

And food is scarce.

I ain't seen a fish longer than my wiener.

A little mini fish.

So, I need big fish.

Nada.

You all right?

Yeah. Just yelling.

Sometimes you got to yell to get your frustration out.

Good.

So, this water is not providing anything.

I'm skinny as hell.

Looking like one of them babies

on the commercials late night on the TV.

Storm clouds have rolled in.

I need to start collecting

as much firewood as I can.

Hopefully, it doesn't

do a big downpour on us.

Yeah, that rain's coming.

Whoo!

Maybe we should catch some fresh rainwater.

That'd probably be good.

That'd take a while?

It'll be fresh.

Fresh off the bird leaves.

Fresh off the clouds.

It's coming down.

Here it comes.

Time to hunker down.

Time to hunker down.

Well, just got real. pouring.

It's gonna be a cold...

It's gonna be too damn cold at night.

Fire's gonna be way up there.

Not gonna feel it.

Definitely don't think I'm a Karen.

I've never asked for a manager before.

Um, you know,

I don't think I'm better than anyone by any means.

Everything I say... You shoot down everything I say.

It's just like, it's just your way or the highway.

I just finally farted and made a sound, man.

Finally.

Couldn't fart for like 20 days.

When you got a hole in the side of your ass,

when you fart, it's just been...

Just shooting out the side.

So my fart's just been sounding so crazy.

And I just got a... Out.

It felt good.

Now I can finally let one rip.

Jarrell told me that I'm a Karen.

Calling me annoying, which is fine.

I get it. I can be super annoying.

And that is something that I was afraid of.

I know when I get tired and hungry, I get

hangry. And I lose my patience, mainly.

And so I definitely

became condescending towards him.

And I feel bad about that.

I already feel bad that

I let my emotions get the best of me.

You know, I used to be a very angry person.

And I thought the world was against me.

I used to pop pills.

I got three DUIs.

But I want to be a good example for my daughter.

I just want to be a better partner.

I don't want the bickering to get between us.

I just want to make everything right.

So,

I'm just gonna venture downstream a little bit.

Maybe find something good.

Food is always a way to a woman's heart.

My God, a jackfruit.

Hell yeah.

I find jackfruit the size of my head.

Two of them.

Look at this jackfruit.

Let's go, baby.

Ellie!

This dude just came back

with the biggest jackfruit I've ever seen in my life.

This smells so good. Holy crap.

It's like so just...

it's everything we needed, man.

We haven't even really ate anything

and now we have a lot of fruit and food.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I do want to say sorry for,

calling you annoying and calling you a Karen.

I think I was just feeling undervalued

and kind of underappreciated.

But I should have not let it get to

that point where I'm calling you names

and saying to you that's super rude.

You're a killer partner. Strong woman.

I know you're independent and do your thing.

And I just wanted to,

you know, clear the air and say

sorry. Hope we're good.

Well, I'm sorry for being condescending to you.

You are appreciated.

And I could not have asked for a better partner.

Jarrell and I had

some not so good days.

But it is nice that he did apologize.

My God.

If you guys could smell this jackfruit.

It is so good.

I feel like we're leaving this experience

in kind of the way that we wanted to. Together.

Friends.

We'll be walking out of here and maybe

running out towards the end.

Today is the day.

21!

Woo!

21

freakin' days, baby!

Just gotta take a.

I pooped four times and I got a fifth one brewing.

That jackfruit was fibrous.

But nothing's gonna stop me.

I can hold it.

Extraction's gonna be a piece of cake.

So we're probably, like, right here.

- Yeah. - Just down the waterfall a little bit.

Looks like a walk upstream,

and extraction should just be upriver.

Should we get the hell out of here?

Let's get the hell out of here.

To reach their extraction point,

Jarrell and Ellie must hike five miles upriver,

navigating sharp, unforgiving terrain,

while battling swift currents

fueled by recent rains.

The heavy downpours

have weakened the slopes above,

heightening the threat of landslides.

Lurking along the riverbanks and throughout the canyon

are highly venomous snakes,

including the deadly Philippine pit viper.

At a crucial bend in the river marked on their map,

they must locate a hidden trail

that will lead them up to the road

where their extraction vehicle awaits.

Let's blow this popsicle stand.

Woo!

Be careful.

It's slippery.

Just walking down this river.

It's crazy, we had so much jackfruit.

And I got to , man..

I'm trying to hold this poop as long as I can.

All right. Just take it easy.

I believe in you.

Look at this little landslide.

Yeah.

- That rain made it... - Yeah.

- ...give way. - Landslide.

This might be where

it opens up at right here.

We got a long walk from here, girl.

Should I take a now?

If you got to go, you got to go.

I'll go right behind this rock.

All right.

- Just real quick. - Go drop a deuce.

Yeah.

You guys don't mind me. I'm just gonna wash my ass.

Okay?

You all good?

I feel like a million bucks.

You lighten your load a little bit?

Yeah.

Extraction, here we come.

It's definitely getting warmer.

- Woo! - That hurt.

God damn.

Feet have taken a beating already.

I can feel mine getting tenderized.

I kind of see, like, a little path up here.

we're almost there, I think.

What the hell is that?

Snake, snake, snake, snake, snake, snake, snake, snake.

- Careful. - snake.

It's probably poisonous.

Yeah, don't step anywhere crazy, please.

Jesus.

My God.

Well...

Well, this is a street, so...

It's a road.

This has got to be it, right?

I don't see anything.

Hold on.

That's got to be it.

That's got to be it!

Let's go!

We made it!

We made it!

I feel like over the last 21 days,

I have

a new appreciation for

the people who are close to me in my life.

Yes!

Jarrell and I, we did have a few bumps in the road.

But I am

extremely grateful that we crossed the finish line together.

Ellie completed the 21-day challenge

nine pounds lighter.

Her primitive survival rating,

or PSR,

rises from 6.9 to 7.2.

! My daughter is gonna be so stoked!

If I can come here with 17 stitches in my ass,

survive, show my daughter

that her dad can do the unthinkable,

and she can do anything too.

Let's go, baby!

I want her to try everything.

I want her to do everything.

I want her to experience everything. And that's...

Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.

She's the sweetest girl in the world, and I love her.

Jarrell lost a total of 16 pounds

during the challenge.

And his PSR increases

from 6.8 to 7.1.

My God, Ellie. Good , baby.

Good.

We came and conquered, baby!

We're out of here, baby!

Whoo!
