Not only have I been a fan of the show,
but now I get to do a Zoom with one of the people
that got me inspired to do it.
You've been a fan, but it's time.
I mean, after this, you're transitioning from fan
to actual survivalist. Are you nervous?
- Yes, I am nervous. - You gotta get rid of that.
Hesitation is the difference between success and failure
in this game. You're gonna get hurt.
Uh-oh, [bleep]. Damn!
You just gotta be able to stick it out.
The other thing you need to do is you need to hydrate.
If you don't hydrate, you're gonna crash faster
than Diddy's career.
You're gonna have moments when you're gonna go,
"This is not worth it."
We are [bleep] if we cannot get the fire going.
But whatever you do, stay away from pity parties for one.
Nobody wants to see it. Nobody's coming to save you.
Mm, mother[bleep].
You're taking a one-way ticket to no-man's-land,
and there is no comeback.
I'm tired. I'm hurting.
I'm done.
This is some next-level [bleep] and I really don't know
what I just got myself into.
A week ago, I was on my couch watching the show,
and now I'm on a truck in Zambia, Africa.
As a fan, I know I'm underestimated,
but don't ever underestimate a hairdresser.
They will cut you.
Back in Texas, we don't have some of the predators
that can eat you. It's definitely intimidating.
It's time to nut up or shut up.
There's no more taking armchair notes.
Come on, let's go "Naked and Afraid!"
Let's go!
Oh, I think this is my spot. Ready as I'll ever be.
I describe myself as a people-person.
I am always caring about others, doing for others.
I wear many, many hats. Salon owner, mom.
I am married, with two beautiful children.
Oh, I'm gonna miss you so much, baby!
Me too.
In preparation of this challenge,
I've been mentored by my favorite
"Naked and Afraid" legend, Kaila Cumings.
I'm so excited to finally meet you!
- I know! - Oh my God.
We learned fire-starting, bow drills.
It looks so good!
And I was even there to watch Kaila make my blade
that I'm taking into this challenge.
She is a badass and everybody knows it.
The fact that my skills are untested and I'm just a fan,
that does not faze me. I'm gonna crush it.
Here I come, Zambia!
It's about to get good!
The outdoors mean absolutely everything to me.
Fire! I made fire!
Going out into the wilderness, just taking in the air,
looking at nature.
Desperate times leads to desperate measures.
It's absolutely everything.
Let's go conquer Africa.
My mental health journey, I've been on antidepressants
and different ADHD medicines since I was 11.
My whole life I was depressed, until about five years ago,
I found "Naked and Afraid."
I've always found a sense of peace in the wilderness,
calming, and now I've taken it to the extreme.
- Hello! - Hey, how are you?
Are you as excited as I am?
I'm crazy excited, I can't even describe it.
- I'm Nicole. - I'm Andrew.
- A hug? - Yes, I wanna do the hug.
I was wondering if you-- I'm a hugger.
I'm a hugger, too.
I see, so we have that in common.
I just met Nicole, and I'm excited to have her
as my partner.
Bright pink hair and this great smile,
good positive energy here.
- So, you're a fan? - Yes.
You've seen a ton of episodes, I'm sure.
- Absolutely. - Is this what you thought it would be like?
Absolutely not. Complete opposite.
Yeah.
The tall grass, the green, I just-- I don't know
what I pictured, but it wasn't this. - Yeah, yeah.
And I feel like every foot we take, there's,
like, something dangerous lurking.
There's something looking at me, saying, "He look juicy."
We are not the top of the food chain anymore.
- I'm ready for it, you know? - I'm ready for it, too.
- Yeah, so let's kick some ass. - Let's kick ass.
- Mm-hmm, yeah. - Can I get another hug?
Yes!
I feel very comfortable already.
Andrew is just like a teddy bear.
I'm just feeling great about this 14 days,
and we're gonna rock it.
- It's real now. - It's real now.
It is a real deal. So, I brought...
my hook and line. - Yes!
- Oh, I'm so excited. - Yeah.
So we're gonna eat these 14 days.
Oh, yeah. I'll get us some food.
- All right. - Mm-hmm, what you got?
Well, our beautiful knife here. She is small but fierce.
- Yeah. - I think I have
something else in here.
- Oh, I am so happy to see this. - Oh, nice.
- A pot. - Yeah.
- So important. - Yeah.
Looks like, we've got a fire starter.
Woo-hoo!
That's gonna come in handy, too, out here.
Yes.
And we have the handy-dandy map.
- I've been waiting for this. - Oh, yeah.
Where are you thinking?
So, yeah, we'll just head north and check
this water hole out, there looks like a change
in terrain, but there's plenty of wood, water of course,
resources, and hopefully food.
- Can't wait. - Can't wait!
- Let's do it! - Let's make it happen.
- Let's do this. - Let's roll.
Superfans Nicole and Andrew will attempt to survive 14 days
in Zambia's Luangwa River Valley,
a vast African wilderness which holds the highest concentration
of carnivores in Zambia.
Here, many of the continent's big game,
including elephants, leopards...
...lions, Nile crocs,
and hyena, roam in the thorn-ridden grasslands.
The Sub-Saharan wasteland is now nearing the end
of its long dry season.
With daytime temperatures approaching triple digits
and suffocating humidity, animals are gathering
at dwindling water holes, desperate for scarce water
and resources.
- A big thorn bush here, so be careful on both sides. - Alright.
Yeah, they come out of nowhere, huh?
Yeah, you kind of learn to look for 'em
after they get you a couple times.
- Ooh. - Are you OK?
Yep, just got a thorn in the nipple.
I don't want another piercing today.
We got some droppings, some scat here.
I see an elephant track here, which is crazy.
Well, they have the same thing in common as with us is they're
going to water, I guess.
They're going to water.
Yeah.
We are literally in a zoo with no cage, no borders.
Yes, yes. Welcome to Africa.
You can definitely feel like, the mugginess starting
to come out a little. - Oh, yeah.
I've never been this thirsty in my life,
but with the heat out here, I've been nauseous all day.
The past 10 minutes, I feel a little dizzy.
- Yeah. - It is hot.
I am sweating a ton.
I never knew just a few hours could drain you so much.
I need water.
- Dehydration can kill you. - Absolutely.
It's gonna be critical to find a water source
relatively soon, with this heat and the sun beating on us.
It's gonna suck us dry really fast.
We've gotta be coming close.
Yeah, all signs point to...
We gotta be getting close.
...water.
- I see water! - There it is.
There's water, so that's life.
All right.
So, yeah, there's plenty of water.
- Hopefully there's some fish in here... - Yes.
...and wonder if there's any crocs.
Yeah, I think I'm more worried about the big stuff that comes
and drinks it. - Yeah.
Let's fill this guy up.
I'm feeling dehydrated. I need some water.
I think we need to figure out what we wanna do
as far as a shelter and where we wanna kind of put a base camp.
Let's go look and see where we wanna put our home.
Even though we have predators here, we see the tracks.
We don't have a lot of time, but it is crucial to build
a sturdy boma to make sure that when the predators, too,
come around and they feel confident to be here,
that we're ready for 'em.
It looks like either it's an animal trail--
Oh, I like this.
Big time animal trails here right through.
I think if we block it off, though...
- Mm-hmm. That works. - I love the shade.
We're gonna need that being so hot with the sun.
I think if we clear this out and we just kind of, like,
we can use this as a lean-to later from the rain... - Yeah, yeah.
...but and we can even just kind of bend those trees.
- Yeah. - All right.
I'm gonna get us some firewood, I think,
start this fire. Get us some water going.
Yeah.
- Let me just kind of get things going... - Oh, yeah.
...and see how well I can do.
As a fan, I have seen this moment so many times,
and the fact that I am sitting here doing this right now
is just unreal.
Should start right up.
Oh, this brings me happiness.
Already starting to feel a little...
nauseous from the trek.
I feel a little bit of a headache come on,
so I know water is crucial.
Oh, come on, hold it in.
- Oh, I'm trying not to get sick here, Andrew. - Oh, no.
- Yeah, I felt a little nauseous earlier... - You want to maybe--
...and I had to sit down for a second,
and then I got better, so...
You wanna maybe feed this fire for me?
Yeah, I got you, I got you.
Worried about my partner getting sick right off the bat.
The insertion hike was incredibly draining.
I am already dehydrated.
That does not put me in a good state on day one.
- You OK? - Yeah.
Take a break.
You're all right.
Andrew and I underestimated what a hike in the heat
with no clothes on can do.
So now that we know our limitations with that heat,
we're just gonna have to work smarter.
There we go.
Our first pot of water here in Africa.
There we go.
It is crucial that I find the power in me
to drink as much water as I can tonight
to replenish what I've already lost.
Yeah?
Yeah. Oh, that is amazing!
Yeah.
This is Africa. With the heat and the humidity,
the biggest concerns for surviving here are,
you know, water, water, water.
Make sure we've got that system in place and we have that.
All right.
Good job. You did that.
Thank you.
Pshew.
Gotta finish this boma before it gets dark.
I don't want an animal creeping in at night, 'cause in Africa,
everything wants to kill you.
Because I've watched episodes of Africa,
I know the shelters that need to be made.
I know the resources that can be found here
and how to find them as quickly and burn as less energy
as possible to do so.
Home sweet home.
- How do you like that? - No, it's great.
- You're great. - We got this.
That's right. Hopefully, we'll get
a good night's sleep tonight and keep on going.
We made it through the first day.
Out in the wild.
I have never done anything like this.
- Yeah. - It's insane.
We are cray-cray, but we're doing it.
Our first night is in the books.
- I'm gonna use the knife. - Mm-hmm.
Oh, my God, Andrew, scorpion, grab that knife!
Oh, come back here! Where'd you go?
All right, he's under there.
I didn't let him go, but--
It's like a brown, like a-- um...
probably about this big. - Oh, wow!
Yeah, it was a good size one.
Wasn't one of the little small ones.
Watch your hands though, 'cause he was
running that way.
I've gotta be careful if his ass is venomous.
That's crazy to think that these are just sitting
in our shelter, - And I was
sleeping right there. - Yeah.
A sting from a scorpion will take us out of the challenge.
Oh, my God! If we cannot get him,
there is no way I'm sleeping here tonight.
- I'll keep on the lookout. - Yeah.
I'll have a stick ready. You still take the knife.
I'll have a stick ready, and I'll get
that son-of-a-bitch. - Yep, we'll get him.
The scorpion and the boma, that gives us
a new unlocked fear.
I see him again. I am not letting you go.
Here I come. Be careful, Nicole.
Right here. Right here, I got him.
All right.
So I'mma go ahead and just cut him in half
and be done with it. - Yeah.
And then we gotta get that tail.
Yeah. But I'll move him.
At least he's gonna die now.
Scorpions can take you out.
That can be a game changer and end me real fast.
He was literally like right where your head was.
Yeah, so imagine getting stung in the head or on the face
by one of these.
No, we'd be like in serious pain or done.
Yeah, that'd be it.
Just one something that simple, that small,
change everything.
I think our plans are to get some stuff done.
And see if this is a protein source or not.
Yeah, I definitely think throw something out there
just to see. - Just to see what we got.
And then while you do that, I'll work on
putting up a snare. - Yes.
- How's that? - That sounds good,
'cause if there's no protein source here,
then we've gotta reevaluate some things.
Thinking of food, you know, right now
with the heat and the humidity and all that, you'll never have
enough calories out here.
We have to try to get something.
Gonna hook up a trot line with a little bug
at the end of it.
And with this one, the idea is to-- the catfish is gonna be
swimming, smelling, trying to find something nasty to eat.
He'll come onto this, chomp on it.
He'll be attached to the tree.
I've been fishing all throughout my whole life.
You know, there's a lot of lakes and rivers
where I come from.
So, give me a body of water, I'll catch fish.
Now we just wait.
All right, so this is the mopane tree,
and I want some cordage from it.
My goal for today is to get as much cordage as I can,
set my snare, and then I'm gonna catch something.
I'm gonna work on some really, like, fine, small weaved ones
for more of the little game out here.
This mopane tree is definitely great for cordage.
Like, I can't get that off even if I wanted to,
um, but it dries out very quickly.
So you wanna just make sure that it stays moist
until it's ready to be used.
I've never actually killed anything, but out here
it's survival. So let's go, let's do this.
I'm looking for the rabbits, birds, whatever small game
they have here. I just gotta find their paths.
Oh, I think I found one I like.
All right, so I have my noose right here.
All right.
And then I have my tree right here, my anchor tree.
Something small, this will be fine.
A slipknot snare is used for trapping
small game and birds.
When they enter the noose, which is propped open
with short sticks, they become trapped
as they struggle to get free.
This has gotta work.
And now we hope for the best.
Yeah, so this is first time trying to score protein.
This is always a big moment.
If you can do it relatively easy or quickly,
then that's a game changer.
All right, let's see.
Moment of truth. Oh, God damn!
No bait.
But... that means there's something here, but I think
that just means they're really, really small
and they're just picking the [bleep] out of the bait.
And yeah, that's disappointing.
I'm gonna use the scorpion we caught for bait
and then try again.
This towards your snare?
Yes, this is towards the snare.
I think we're coming up on it.
We are on day three with no protein.
Actually, for the first day, starting to feel
that hunger feeling. Starting to get slower.
Let's take a look here.
That just sucks. Nothing.
Well, that's disappointing.
Gonna walk down there and check that line real fast.
Yes.
Nothing.
Something nicked on it.
A small fish, probably, not big enough to take the hook.
So they sit there and peck at it until it's nothing left.
Fish come out during the evening.
So what we're gonna do before bed, we are gonna
throw one out in the middle. Fish is gonna pick us up.
We're gonna throw that sucker in the middle
of the pond and we're gonna get us a [bleep] fish.
There we go. Let's [bleep] go!
You got this, friend!
Whew.
Yes!
All right, we got this.
So we just put a snail on the line.
We're doing some active fishing over there.
If we can have dinner tonight,
that would be a really, really great win.
We need one of those.
Oh, no! Mother[bleep]!
God damn it!
You got this, friend.
Whew.
Yes!
All right. We got this.
If we can have dinner tonight, that would be
a really, really great win.
We need one of those.
Mother[bleep]!
I had a fish! God damn it!
They're so small, they won't even
get on the hook! [bleep]!
We knew this was gonna be hard, so, um...
- But I'll be OK. - We're gonna push through.
We're in it together.
And we are just gonna keep on trucking.
- OK, definitely snake territory. - Yep.
I would love to have some snake for lunch.
Yesterday was the first day that I heard my stomach growl.
My body is definitely letting me know that I need food.
I've got bull nettle in the face.
Oh, it is tearing me up.
Oh, my goodness.
On our map, it shows that there's another river,
body of water, not too far from our little camp.
So we're gonna see if there's any other source
of proteins that may be beneficial.
We haven't had any luck in the pond.
Done it for three days and found nothing, so it's time
to find something else.
Oh, you son of a bitch!
You hear that [bleep]?
Yeah. It sounded big
and sounded like it was tearing [bleep] up,
so we need to be careful.
I don't wanna get trampled on.
- All right. - Look at this, Andrew.
Oh, this is great.
- Are these all elephant tracks? - Something big.
- And these are fresh. - These are fresh, yep.
Look at that.
That just goes to show how big those elephants are.
That's insane.
We need to keep our head on a swivel.
Turn around. There has to be fish in there.
There's already a little dam from the stream being pushed
so hard.
And then past that is almost still water.
Yeah, they're gonna be in these pools here.
There are little baby frogs everywhere.
There's crickets.
It's just an endless supply of bait.
Yep.
This is a great opportunity, great chance,
new life, potentially.
You could see to the bottom, so it makes fishing
and identifying that there's fish a lot easier
than the stagnant mud hole that we were at.
I think I'm gonna work on a fish basket.
Hopefully, I can finally catch something.
We're gonna get 'em.
I know he's feeling a little down that he may not find
anything, but I'm feeling confident.
Please, Jesus, please just let this, as soon as it hits
the water somehow, some way, you bless me with this fish.
Just let it-- just let it be. Just let it be.
Finding food is critical in so many points.
One, my body's telling me, "Andrew, we're needing it.
"It's four days since we've had a meal.
Let's get something." But also just the mental boost
to say that you can do this.
That looks like that's just catfish heaven under there.
Gonna put some lines out, trotlines.
We haven't had any luck on trotlines.
Maybe that's the one.
This is ideal.
We have a perfect setup here for a fish basket,
and I truly believe this can be my win,
and I really need one of those.
All right, so you're gonna take one, two, three, four,
five, almost like in a little circle, and you're gonna
stick it into the mud.
Then you're gonna take all five, gather it to the top,
and then you're gonna take some, like, vines or saplings,
and you're gonna basket-weave them
throughout the whole thing. What you end up with
is a round basket that comes up to a cone.
Then you make a smaller one and you put it inside.
Fish can go in, but they can't turn around and come back out.
They're in there. It's gold.
I've failed at getting food.
It's something that I'm supposed to be good at.
It's getting very...
heartbreaking and frustrating right now, um,
to try to hold it together, knowing that Nicole is
counting on me.
Seen a little catfish. He didn't take the bait.
He's just kind of pecking at it.
He swam out of that hole, though.
About four, five inches long.
It's time to nut up or shut up and get that fish.
He definitely is in there. Get your big ass out there.
Come on. Come on.
Take it. Come on.
Come on, baby. Take this bait.
Take it, baby. Baby, please take it.
Come on. Come on.
Take it.
Take it. Come on.
- [bleep] yeah! - You got one?
[bleep] yeah!
Come on. Come on.
Take it.
Take it, come on.
- [bleep] yeah! - You got one?
[bleep] yeah!
No, don't come off, don't come off!
- Ah! - Come here!
Are we having fish for lunch?
Oh, my goodness!
Oh, we are having fish!
I'm gonna get the fire ready.
- This was so worth it! - Yeah!
All right, this is a game changer.
Africa had me on my knees questioning my abilities on
if I could actually do this, catch any fish.
Been trying to do this for a couple days now,
and look what we got here.
Big old catfish!
Look at that, bigger than my head.
I got a big old head. Look at that.
Africa trying to tell me I can't fish.
Look at that. I can [bleep] fish.
Yeah, son!
Listen to that sizzle. You hear that?
Just sizzling. Mm, son!
Look at that white meat.
- Look at how delicious. - Yeah.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Mm! That's good.
God.
Mm. What do you think?
Oh, my God. I could cry.
This is so good. It's just so juicy.
Mm! Mm-hmm.
- Oh, my gosh. - Mm.
And you said you needed some protein?
You provided.
One of my biggest things that I wanted to do here
was to first time in my life be proud of myself.
I came from this shy little boy, battling depression
and a purpose of existence.
This fish tells me that
I deserve to be proud of myself.
I'm a good enough person to be proud of myself
with what I've overcome in life, but also even here.
- Big victory today. - Huge victory.
We caught us a fish. Bang!
That's some good stuff.
This trip over here was worth every minute.
Mm-hmm.
I am so thankful and grateful.
We have a fish basket started. He has a fish in his hand.
Juicy. I mean, look at that.
Just beautiful.
To me, that is not a fan anymore.
We are survivalists, and this is just what we needed
to say, "We got this. We know what we're doing."
- Mother Nature provided. - That's right.
What the [bleep]?
I'm so happy this is done.
You should be.
It's a messy one, but it is going to work.
Do you wanna hold it?
Yeah, I'll hold it right there.
- I did it! - You did it.
It fits.
- Look at that. - I did it.
- Look at that. - Let's show the world.
Last night was really tough with all the noises
of the animals all night long. Andrew didn't sleep well.
I didn't sleep well. But today is a new day.
So we're gonna catch some fish today.
- There we go. - Yeah, right there, like that.
That's what I'm talking about.
And now we bring these in.
The stream that we're in is set up perfectly
for a fish basket.
It had a natural dam, so we added to that,
and we are forcing the fish to go into that basket.
Come on, baby!
There's gonna be fish in there.
[bleep], I do not wanna lose any water.
- All right. - Pour another one?
No, no.
I'm not thirsty, so, but I'll be OK.
Gonna go downstream and check those lines
real fast.
I wish he would drink more. This is Africa.
It is hot, right? It's hot.
It's humid. You can get dehydrated.
He has not had water in like three hours, and...
I hand it to him, he takes a sip,
but I can't force him to drink.
So what do you do?
- It's a struggle. - Yeah.
- Up and over. - Mm-hmm.
It's day seven. We're halfway through
the challenge, and, you know, we're running on fumes.
Right now, I bet you we are averaging,
it'd be less than 100 calories a day
when we're used to eating, you know, 2,000.
So, the only way to get out of this thing is we have
to find fish.
All right, fish trap, I know you're gonna do fabulous.
And...
Nope, not today.
- Nothing. - Nothing?
- No. - OK.
Andrew and I have been busting ass,
and I've been working real hard on providing.
I'm a checklist-person, and having the snare
and the fish basket and all those
on a checklist and nothing, like, checked,
I feel like I'm not contributing.
You're not bringing home anything, and, you know,
it's frustrating to me. I just want a success.
I want a win.
Sun's starting to break through the trees up there.
It's gonna be hot.
Oh, try some. It's delicious.
Right now, I'm just, I'm not thirsty right now,
so you know how I am with chugging.
- Yeah, you're not a chugger. - I'm not much of a chugger,
'cause...
just doing that just makes me...
- Yeah, we don't want that. - ...nauseous.
I'm concerned about my partner.
He definitely doesn't feel thirsty, so he doesn't think
he needs to drink. That worries me.
Dehydration is a danger out here.
We both threw up on day one.
I'm scared that, at the rate that he's going,
he is gonna be in trouble.
Yeah, I'm getting slower. I can feel it.
This is a deep hole, too, and how the sun's shining on it,
might be pretty good fishing
to change things up a little bit.
Running low on energy, very, very low.
Getting kind of weak, getting harder to get up.
When I exert myself, it does--
it's just like breathtaking in a way.
It just takes your breath away.
I'm hurting, my body hurts.
It feels like every joint in my body is wanting
to poke out the sides, whether it's my elbows,
shoulders, spine, ribs.
Getting slower. Getting kind of weak.
Got them cat-like reflexes.
Uh-oh, [bleep].
It's rough right now, and the water levels are
dropping, which affects biting.
And with our energy lowering and lowering, it's harder
to throw that line out there.
May be fish in here. There are, I'm sure.
Big enough to get on the hook, but should have brought
even smaller hooks.
I guess their mouths are shaped smaller or something,
but they are not wanting to take it.
Got him-- oh!
- mother[bleep]!
[bleep] tired of this [bleep].
It's just frustrating.
This is supposed to be what I do.
This is what-- you know, I catch fish.
But now when the [bleep] is on the line,
you can't catch [bleep].
I'm tired. I'm hurting.
Maybe it's time to go home.
Oh.
I'm feeling kind of-- a little weak.
Every bone in my body hurts. And my back is killing me.
My legs have cramps starting to creep in.
I'm sorry you're not feeling fabulous.
It's just real tired and kind of...
hard to get, you know, it's hard to think,
like there's a blanket over my brain or something.
He needs to drink. I can see it on his face.
It is essential for his body.
He's already in probably stage three of dehydration.
I am very concerned...
about you... with water.
Oh, yeah, I mean, I'm just frustrated right now.
I mean, my brain ain't even thinking about it.
I know, but do you mind if I say something
and then just say if I'm out of line?
Tell me anything you want.
- Your back hurt, mine doesn't. - Mm-hmm.
- Your calves hurt, mine don't. - Mm-hmm.
- You're not thirsty, I am. - Yep.
- You're not sweating anymore. - Yep.
All of that is dehydration.
It's gonna take, and this is a fact, it takes triple
the amount of water intake
to get you back from dehydration.
I absolutely love Nicole. She's the greatest person.
We take care of one another. We look out for one another.
Hard-headed, I struggle accepting help.
But this here, you have to.
You know, if you don't accept the help and you let the ego
get in the way, you're done.
Look at you chugging!
I love it, uh-huh.
I think relatively close to the water,
with just how they were walking. - Yeah--
Their strides aren't very big, but they go in groups.
We've been seeing the Egyptian geese walking along our pond,
same path every day.
Catching one of those geese will push us through
till day 14.
OK, yeah, I can see bird prints right there.
- Awesome. - So, I was thinking,
jab it in, and then put that snare right there.
I came here with an idea of what I wanted to do,
and I feel like I'm running out of time.
I know I'm hard on myself, but I'm just disappointed
in what I've brought to the table.
I just wanna be successful, and I wanna be successful
in the things that I've been working hard for,
and it's so frustrating.
You may let it stick up, so then it catches him
a little bit.
His foot gets in there, he can't, he doesn't pick it up
very high, drags it, tightens up around his foot,
and he can't get off.
I'm going to get something in my snares or my fish basket.
I'm here to do that.
I mean, that's all you can do.
We got this day, Andrew.
Oh, I know, it's just frustrating.
It's--
I feel like my momentum has kind of hit a wall, you know?
I'm exhausted from being out here.
I'm really tired.
Oh, my God, Andrew. I see a snake.
Get that stick.
- Do you see it? - Mm-mm.
- Oh, there he is up there. - Here's my chance.
Damn, that's a baby black mamba, be careful.
- Come here, help me. - All right, let's see.
Come on.
Ugh, where'd you go?
Be careful. Don't let him bite you.
I know, I know. Where'd you go?
I just scared him, and I stirred up the mud.
We gotta get it.
- Andrew, do you see it? - Mm-mm.
- Went downstream. - Yeah.
Nicole, that was your [bleep] chance.
I see a snake in the water.
Perfect, perfect opportunity. He goes up the bank.
And what do I do?
I fling it back into the frickin' water
like an idiot.
The one [bleep] snake we see in Africa.
Mm-hmm. And try to [bleep].
I just need a minute. So [bleep] stupid.
You're good, you're good. Go do what you gotta do.
Like...
All I had to do was take the side of the stick,
place it on him. I had the knife in my hand.
I could have just done it, but you're just so tired
and you don't think, but that was--
we're so hungry.
Oh, I'm so mad at myself.
I'm disappointed.
I have been-- that's all I wanted to do here in Africa.
What she's feeling is the same thing I felt.
And it felt like I was just this big,
stupid-ass loser that, um...
talked all this stuff about how he could fish and survive
and just to let my partner down.
I have been putting in the frickin' man hours,
sun up to sun down. I have not [bleep] stopped.
I've gotten nothing, nothing accomplished
on my list. Nothing.
And we only have four more days.
Maybe I'm not a survivalist.
Maybe I'm not supposed to be here.
Maybe I'm not a survivalist.
Maybe I'm not supposed to be here.
Maybe I'm supposed to just go back doing hair.
Need a little more time, or can I come talk to you?
You can come talk to me.
Come here, bring it in, bring it in, bring it in.
It's gonna be OK, I get the frustration.
It's give-and-take with me and Nicole.
You know, when she's down and needing a boost, I'm there.
And then whenever I'm down and need a boost, she's there.
Who [bleep] flings it back in the water?
- Who [bleep] does that? - I know, I know.
I know.
It's OK. I get it.
And there's gonna be other opportunities.
We have four days.
- I know. - We waited 10 days
to see a [bleep] snake. - I know.
I know I'm good at what I do.
And I don't even have the time to prove it.
But this is our first 10 days ever being
in an environment like this.
There's a lot of trials and errors.
And you have a right to feel how you feel.
You have that right.
But do not undermine what you've done,
what you've accomplished.
Yeah, we've got four days left, but there's a lot of things
that can still happen.
Africa, it knocks you on your ass real fast.
So my message to Nicole to know that it wasn't catastrophic.
It's OK. You'll be fine.
Just keep pushing.
We turn that page, and we move on from it.
OK.
In my daily life, I've never failed anything.
At home, I'm this confident mentor, boss-lady, mom.
I'm the one with all the answers.
I'm the one people go to.
My self-esteem is lower than I've ever felt before.
But Africa has showed me that I am hard on myself.
And I gotta give myself some credit.
At least I'm still trying, and I won't stop that
till the end.
We have to secure protein.
I'm gonna catch as many frogs as I need to,
and I'm just gonna fish the day away.
I just want a success. I want a win.
I came out here to be that savage warrior princess.
I'm gonna get fish. I'm gonna get fish.
Trying to catch one last frog for bait.
I'm just here to support you.
Oh, that's a big one.
No, no, no, no!
Ah! [frustrated gibberish]! No!
Oh, you jerk off!
I have not been able to secure food.
Nothing has been successful yet, but...
it's on, like, overdrive now.
Got him.
I'm going balls to the wall and just give it my all.
You OK?
Yeah, just really tired.
Wish we could get some protein,
but I just don't think it's likely.
And so, for me, it's kind of...
preserve what protein I've got left, and...
not fight it. - Hopefully I can step up for the team
when we need it the most.
I'm discouraged because the water levels are dropping,
which affects biting.
Very iffy on whether we're gonna get anything today.
You know, it seemed like a lot of the fish are probably
moving downstream.
This is the deepest part of the pond.
Oh.
Oh!
- Yes! - Yeah.
There you go. Get it in here.
Yes! Oh!
Here we go. Here we go.
- Oh, you want me to do it? - Yeah-- whoo!
Sorry, I thought I'd never scream.
I hate the people who scream. I got frickin' lunch.
There you go.
I just caught a fish. This is so important.
The morale is going to be so much better.
We really, really needed this.
I could cry right now.
- I literally just... - There you go.
You did amazing! We needed you and you did it.
And I really needed this.
Oh, I love it for you.
I'm glad this happened for you. This is amazing.
Today she had the goal. She wanted to catch a fish.
She wanted to get protein.
And she teared up and was very emotional about it, because...
her big thing has been she doesn't contribute.
And for her to catch that fish, it was very overwhelming
for her, and I'm very proud of her
for her to be able to do that and feel that way.
But always whenever we needed it the most, one of us delivers.
- Every time. - Every time.
Mm-hmm.
I couldn't have asked for a better partner.
I couldn't have either.
I mean, I couldn't have wrote it.
If I had a script to write it, I couldn't have done it
any better myself.
- This has been a crazy ride. - It has.
- Got it? - Yeah.
Whoop, whoop!
- All righty. - All right.
So we'll cook this guy. Yummy.
I could have called it quits, but I didn't.
I'm so proud of myself.
I knew I can do it when we needed it most,
and I am so ecstatic right now.
All righty.
Mmm, I'm so excited.
Oh, I'm so thankful for this right now.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
Mmm!
Oh, my God.
Mm, damn that good.
Yeah.
I'm picking every damn thing off this thing.
It's been a real struggle to catch fish and just
any food in general, you know.
The struggle's real out here.
So, I mean, right now, both of us are very sluggish.
And there was a fish. There was lunch.
But it's just exhausting out here.
You underestimate it when you're watching the show,
it's just...
that everything takes energy to just do anything.
Of course, we all want the big wins, but sometimes
the small ones are what make us.
You know, foraging is just the last chance to really
secure food to get ready for extraction.
And I would love to be able to get that win for both of us.
Aha, yes.
- Andrew! - Hey.
- Found monkey fingers! - There you go!
Pick the hell out of 'em. How many you got?
Oh, made my day, made my day.
- Bunch of 'em? - Yes!
Do you need help?
Yeah.
I'm gonna try to get as much as I can.
Oh, this is...
great.
Oh, I see some over here.
Perfect!
There's some here. Ah!
This is pure joy right here.
Oh, they look so ripe and delicious.
We have an abundance of monkey fingers.
This is exactly what I needed.
- OK. - All right, you got 'em all?
Yep.
Ready to head back?
- Mm-hmm. - All right, let's roll.
Mm.
Out here on "Naked and Afraid," you don't have a ribeye steak
on your table.
Mm.
They're good. That's a boost.
- Mm! - Mm.
That's what I'm talking about.
And here I am with a smile on my face, tasting new food,
monkey fingers.
It doesn't have a whole lot of calories to it,
but it's gonna help us in the long run.
- What the [bleep]! - Goddamn.
What is that?
Last night was rough.
Last night was a zoo.
We heard all the animals, hyenas, elephants,
hippos, a water buffalo I'm sure of.
It was insane. All in the same
watering hole and just feet from our boma.
All right.
All right, Andrew. We are going to get bait.
All right.
I'm really, really feeling good about the fishing.
To make extraction, we really need that energy
and that nutrition to get out of here safely.
So hopefully we get another one to get a little bit more.
Maybe a grasshopper will land on you again.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my goodness, elephants.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my goodness, elephants!
Insane.
Yeah, it's an elephant.
Elephants are just so majestic.
But it's big, it's scary, and it's starting
to become an issue.
There's danger around every corner.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I cannot just explain what just happened.
My heart is like, .
I gotta calm down.
In recent days, local herds have been encroaching
on Nicole and Andrew's location.
Elephants remember smells and people.
If an elephant feels their territory is being invaded,
they will perceive it as a threat,
which would trigger a deadly charge.
I'm gonna show y'all something.
That...
elephant.
And that is our boma,
which is right there.
All these tracks.
So the threat in this show is very, very real.
It doesn't get any realer than this, you know.
Anybody think, "Oh, it's staged,
it's this, it's that" Uhn-uhn.
That's real [bleep]. That is a real [bleep].
Like, the storm is like super, super close to us.
I just felt a raindrop. The wind is shifting, um...
I'm kind of freaking out a little.
All right, so we're kind of in a [bleep] spot right now.
There's lightning from 11:30...
[bleep] about 2:30-ish-- it's all light.
And Nicole's worst fear is being wet and cold.
We have a little canopy, but that doesn't matter
if it's a complete torrential downpour with lightning.
And I hear the hyenas in the background.
No, I'd rather be surrounded by hyenas than this.
This is like, one of my worst nightmares.
Oh, [bleep].
We go from elephants to having my worst fear,
wet and cold.
Africa has not let me down.
Ah!
Everything is wet right now, but we have been able to save
our fire in a downpour rain. So I think that is a win.
Our feet was getting covered with, um...
It was a pond in here.
Yeah, it was getting to be a pond.
And most people may not believe it and be like,
"Oh, it didn't rain that damn hard,
if they still got a fire going like that."
Oh, no, it rained that hard.
We made it, but it sucked.
Crazy, crazy morning.
An elephant was 10 feet away from us.
There's big animals here that could hurt us.
I know.
We're getting closer to extraction.
Do you wanna have that convo?
It may be more beneficiary to us to, um...
try to go a little ways, build a temporary boma,
and, um...
- Do it in two...? - Do it in two days.
We just have to be careful, 'cause we all know the area,
and watch for predators, yeah.
So I think it would be a good idea.
- Let's do it a two-day trip. - All right, so, yeah.
- Mm-hmm. - I agree.
All right.
Elephants are getting closer. It's time to move on.
I did not work this hard just to fail my extraction.
So you're 100%, we're leaving today?
Not a doubt in my mind. You?
100%. All right.
- Let's do this. - Let's open this boma.
All right.
Africa's not letting us out easy.
You know, she's gonna throw every punch she can
before we go down.
You just keep rolling with the punches.
- All right, so we're here. - Mm-hmm.
- Extraction is there. - Mm-hmm.
We just walk as far as we can safely and figure out
the best spot to stop at? - That's right.
I don't see any, like...
like, super sweet spots, so I guess it's whatever
we think we can handle and go from there.
After 13 days in Zambia's Luangwa River Valley,
Nicole and Andrew have decided to begin their extraction
one day early due to the threat of local elephant herds
encroaching on their location.
To reach their extraction point in the next two days,
they'll face a six-mile trek through dense forest
along steep creekside drop-offs, stopping midway
to shelter overnight.
Definitely don't wanna exert a lot of energy building
the boma, so we need this to be, um...
already almost built for us. - Absolutely.
I had a little freak-out session last night
because the elephants came through.
I was confident in the boma we built for protection,
but they can come really close, and it is a dangerous situation.
Our first priority is protect this fire.
- We'll get us a coal real fast. - All right.
And some of these are soaked and still burning.
Go us!
We're gonna get this big coal here because it is wet
and we may need it to help us get our fire going.
Absolutely.
We'll get one more just to be safe.
- Yeah, get that. - Yeah.
Yeah, that'll be perfect.
There we go. All right,
well, let's get this show on the road.
Careful, it's slippery.
Mm-hmm.
- Bye, boma! - Gotta get it going.
Thank you!
Some people I see on the fan Facebook pages, they say,
"Oh, Africa is one of the easier spots."
No. Big fat lie.
Nope, nope, nope.
You're wrong. Africa's hard.
Be careful.
Of course, we just went through the mud
with footing. - Yeah, that was tough.
You know, don't wanna break an ankle.
- It's so slippery. - But also,
it could be that snakes and other things could be
on the move, too, so gotta be mindful of that.
All right.
You gotta keep your head on a swivel because, I mean,
you don't know what's hunting you.
You know, it's tall grass.
Snakes, lions could be in there.
I mean, it's ridiculous of all the different things
that could get you and you can't see 'em.
I hope that the weather stays like this.
Yes.
'Cause the sun is not gonna be our friend.
- No. - Especially we got
a little late start 'cause of that storm.
Yeah.
Lean back and let your staff be your extra foot.
Jab it and kind of lean on it a little bit and put
that weight on them heels so if you do fall,
you fall backwards instead of on your face.
Extraction is taking a toll on the body right now.
The feet with new thorns, grass whipping across my legs,
opening up wounds, a little razor grass,
the bugs biting.
This trek is harder than what we did coming in.
Oh, yeah. I mean, absolutely.
I'm so glad we didn't do this all in one day, Andrew.
Me too.
The river that we are on, it is muddy.
It is wet. I am shivering.
I'm cold.
So I think right here is the closest clearing
we're gonna get, you [bleep]...
a lot of critters have been crossing.
So if the critters say it's OK, then...
All right.
I'm a little nervous about crossing this, Andrew.
- Mud is not my friend. - OK.
Damn critters.
Be real careful and watch them ankles.
Do not roll an ankle.
And use your stick as like a third leg.
OK.
And if you fall, fall backwards.
I have to go sideways.
Let's see.
That is not my forte.
I'm sorry I'm being a baby about this.
You're fine. You'll be safety first.
Don't roll no ankle.
There you go. Dig them feet
and dig them toes in that ground.
Oh, [bleep], [bleep], [bleep].
Use that staff. Use that staff.
All right. OK.
All right.
All right, now the next challenge is going
across here carefully.
You ain't going see no croc in that, you know,
and other snakes that are moving because they got
washed out. So here we go.
You ready? Use your staff as a third leg.
All right.
But do not let the point get past any part of your head
so that if you fall, it won't stab you.
I suck at this part.
The terrain, it's treacherous.
It's a challenge and very difficult.
But the only way out is through.
I suppose, is that light at the end of the tunnel
that this is almost over,
and it gives that body, those feet,
just a little bit more oomph.
All right, be careful, it's getting steep again.
Uh, I thought you were prepared for everything.
Made it to the bottom.
- Damn. - You OK?
Yeah. Of course, at the big ass hill,
I'm fine.
And then, the little one gets you.
Uh-oh...
It's just gonna be a little harder.
Yeah.
If we can't get fire, we won't have water
for the rest of this extraction.
Makes me a little nervous.
I feel like we're halfway.
It's a good time to look at, see if this will be a spot
for our... - Oh.
To spend the night.
Something small, something easy,
little energy as possible to make.
Somewhere in here would be good.
I mean, we have coverage from the rain if it rains,
a little bit.
Build it in this area here.
Circle it here.
This tree here helps us not need as much material.
OK.
And then you circle it back around, back to that tree.
And then now we've gotta build fire.
- Yeah. - In this very humid, wet...
environment.
- OK, let's make it happen. - Yeah, OK.
But anything somewhat dry, even if it has thorns,
I'm putting out here.
Takes a little bit of energy building another boma.
It's too early to tell if it's a good payoff
or if it's a gamble that'll cost us.
I'm already tired, I'm already hungry.
This could be the end of us because of dehydration
or burning calories.
The biggest risk is not making extraction.
I just hope we can get us a fire started.
We need to get some water going.
All right, some of this has thorns, but it's super dry.
Mm-hmm.
The sun's going down. Time is of the essence.
We are building a boma, collecting firewood,
starting a fire.
All of that is going to exert energy.
And we're gonna get so much magnesium.
We're gonna use that really, really dry leaf.
Our plan was to bring a coal. That failed.
So we had to start from scratch,
start a brand new fire, just like we did on day one.
We are [bleep] if we cannot get the fire going.
It's not just water, but even the predators
keep them away.
- Andrew. - Mm-hmm.
- we have fire! - We have fire.
Fire.
Now we just gotta keep it together.
All right. Oh, [bleep].
It's like, all right, I gotta go find smaller pieces.
That scares me.
It's like already almost out.
Yep, it burned all the small stuff
and all the big stuff just...
it don't wanna take 'cause it's so wet.
Yeah, we gotta keep that going.
All right, this wood's dry,
it has green, but like, it's almost out.
We have to get this back.
We cannot let that happen again.
I don't know, you sure this green stuff good?
I mean, it's burning, so any of this will work.
Yeah, but I mean, look at that, what you just gathered,
it's soaking wet, you know, so. - But it's burning, so.
Well, not that one.
It's these little things that are burning.
The hard stuff that we have on here, it's not.
I got water sizzling and boiling out one of these
'cause it's so saturated.
Very frustrated with Andrew.
I don't know if it's because he genuinely wants to help
or if it's... he wants to outdo me.
I'm not sure.
We're not outdoing each other.
We're just here to survive.
'Cause right now, none of the stuff that we've got
is usable other than this little stuff unless we can get
this stuff to dry out within the next couple minutes
'cause the stuff that's being gathered is...
is very, very, very wet.
She's just throwing wet green wood on the fire,
and it's gonna kill it, I mean...
It was hard enough to light because we don't have a coal.
She might as well be throwing water on it.
I don't get it.
I'm thirsty.
- No, I know. - I'm worried.
I'm not trying to be mean.
I just, like, this is literally like .
No, there's nothing to be mean about.
It's just, I'm just simply stating is that everything
that you're bringing is soaking wet, which is everything.
- But it's burning. - So we have to try to dry it out.
This is not usable stuff.
We came here with no water.
This could be the end of us if we cannot stay positive
and keep our heads together and get this fire started.
Like, we can't just not put something on it
because it's wet.
I mean, you wanna throw some of this wet stuff on it
and see what happens? - We can put one,
at least, a smaller one, just to, like, start it.
Let's throw this wet one on here and see what happens.
Don't be a dick about it and, like, smother it.
You know, so we're on our extraction walk,
and as fans, you know, you're watching the show,
you're watching your survivalists,
and you don't think about the crew.
Who's up? Who's up?
Take it slow and be careful, OK?
They go through the same crap as we do, the same nasty mud,
slick mud. - Oh, [bleep], here I go.
- I'm gonna fall. - -- you're sliding.
- You're definitely sliding. - I believe in you, Phil.
Technique.
- Technique! - Oh!
Silver Surfer!
Ooh!
Yeah, so, you just gotta commit to it.
Oh!
Send it.
Oh, god! Ooh!
They're in it with us, so you got to see how they did.
There they are, one big family.
I mean, you wanna throw some of this wet stuff on it
and see what happens? - We can put one at least,
a smaller one, just to, like, start it.
OK, let's throw this big wet one on here
and see what happens.
Don't be a dick about it and like, smother it.
No, we're gonna set it right next to it,
and that's how it'll go.
That's looking better.
It's getting there, and I can hear it boiling more and more...
water out of these logs.
I thought we might be screwed, but in my frustration,
dumping that big pile of wood on top heated up the fire
enough to get a big chunk of it to ignite.
Listen, I'm sorry. I'm thirsty.
- No, I know. - I'm worried.
I know, but I mean, I'm not criticizing or anything.
I feel the same emotions as you.
I shouldn't have reacted that way.
It was not your fault at all.
If I had an issue, I should have just said,
"Hey, Andrew, this is how I'm feeling,"
and I didn't do that,
and I took it out on you, and that wasn't fair. - Yeah, right.
So I really do apologize, and that should not
have happened. - No, it's all good.
I'm not worried about it either way, I just--
- It's just not fair, though. - No, it's all good.
- I ain't worried about it. - Can you forgive me?
I forgive you, there wasn't nothing to forgive.
I was already, you know-- no-- no big deal with it.
Andrew, thank you.
Thank you for being kind, caring,
a true southern gentleman.
Even at my worst, we were able to communicate,
and that just means the world to me.
I could not have asked for a better partner.
Gotta finish it out strong, 'cause this is it.
Right. And we've been a team
from the beginning, and we're doing it together.
- We only have each other's best interest at heart. - Yep.
Something out here that I learned is that
you gotta give a little, take a little,
and I'm so thankful that I have Nicole with me on this journey.
She's a bright spot to this world.
You know, she's, you know, the world's better with her.
And I got me a new best friend.
- We got this. - Yep, we just got
a few more hours, then...
we go to sleep and have to do this long, long hike,
and get the hell out of Africa.
We're skinny, we're tired, we're weak.
And, you know, just even seeing that elephant so close
and personal even takes a lot of energy.
So to take two days of travel, build another boma,
start another fire, it's definitely a risk.
Has it been done? I can't think of it, but...
On the fan challenge, I don't think...
On the fan challenge.
We got this, though. We can do this.
And go out...
smiling.
- Andrew. - Yes.
- It is day 14. - Yes.
I mean, it felt like the longest night
of my life.
I think part of that was just being anxious for being
today's day 14.
Everything we've endured, everything we've learned
comes to play right now.
It's time to put it all together, all the pieces
together for one final showdown between us and Africa
to show that we're gonna win it here in the end.
This is it.
Wow. Whoo!
- All right, let's do this! - Mm-hmm.
I cannot believe we almost completed
a 14-day experience in Zambia, Africa.
I know.
This is probably the weakest I have felt in 14 days.
Lions, they definitely lurk on prey that are weak,
and we are weak, and we are slow.
Yep.
Just gotta be very, very careful.
We still going the right way?
Oh, yeah.
Remember, trust me. Trust unconditional.
- I got us. - All right.
We're following the stream, and that's what the map
says to do. - This could be, like,
super snake area,
especially hiding from the rain. - Yep.
- You hear that? - Yep.
Yeah, I wonder what that is.
O-M-G.
Andrew, there are elephants all up in this area.
All of them. Look at that.
Elephant, elephant, elephant. Crazy.
And that's scary 'cause you can't even hear 'em,
and so, if they were literally on top of you,
you wouldn't know it until...
...crushed.
You feeling OK?
I'm starting to get a little...
dizzier and weaker, but I'm good.
OK. Well, just let me know.
Want me to help you?
All right, I'm gonna step on it.
Mm-hmm-- just watch the sticks down there.
There you go. Mm-hmm.
As the days went on, I realized you can't
do this alone.
Andrew and I, complete opposites or not,
if something's bothering us, we talk about it.
If somebody's down, the other one lifts them up.
You need your partner out here.
We're almost there.
Wait, do you hear that?
There's a waterfall.
That might be the river. Oh, that might be the river.
- Hope so. - Oh.
Please be the river.
So this creek should lead us directly to the river.
It ends there, it pours into that river.
I think we're there.
We gotta be there, right?
Oh, my goodness. It opens up.
God damn!
This is it. We're here.
We're here!
We're here.
Ah.
After 14 days...
we made it. - That was so hard.
- It was hard. - But we did it.
But we did it.
Made it to the end.
On "Naked and Afraid."
Africa, you're so beautiful, but you're such a beast.
Mm... I got a different word for it, but yeah.
I see something. I see something!
- That's it, that's it! Look! - That's gonna be our ride.
Ah, we made it! We did it!
And it's such a crazy, surreal just experience
to finally feel that in your soul.
I don't feel bad at all anymore.
- We did it. - I'm not dizzy. I'm not anything.
Yeah. Look at that.
That's our ride home. That's our ride home.
- Come on over here! - Hello!
Whoo! We are no more fans.
- We are survivalists. - That's right.
And we're going home.
I will never judge another survivalist or fan challenge.
It is so much harder than it looks on your couch.
Longest 14 days of my life, and we are about to be home.
I was a fan coming into this, but I am now officially
a "Naked and Afraid" survivalist.
I have learned so much about myself out here.
The good, the bad, the ugly. It all came out.
I did not discover this crazy demon warrior princess,
but I have discovered a pretty cool Zambian queen.
Nicole completes the 14-day challenge, losing 14 pounds.
Her final primitive survival rating, or PSR,
jumps from 5.7 to 6.0.
- Let's go! Whoo! - Let's go-- yeah, let's go!
- We freaking did this! - We did it!
- All right, come on. - All right.
What I've learned out here, to give yourself credit,
you work your ass off. Be proud of yourself.
I advise to anyone that has scars that they're hiding
or trying to heal from, you don't have to regret
your past. You don't have to wish
you could go in time machine and fix it.
That amazing person you are right now
is because of those things.
So heal from them, but understand that that built
the character that you are right now.
I was just a fan, you know, keyboard warrior,
and now I'm a certified "Naked and Afraid" survivalist.
To be able to say that is like...
"What in the hell are you talking about?"
Andrew lost 16 pounds.
His final PSR rises from 6.6 to 7.0.
- Whoo! - Yeah.
Goodbye, Africa. Goodbye, Zambia.
- We did it. - Mm-hmm.
We frickin' did it, Andrew.
- We made it. - Goodbye, Zambia!
Whoo!
We gotta scoop some of this.
That's your mashed potatoes, right?
- Yep. - So you got 'em.
Want one of these bad boys?
I-- I'll take one.
- Aw. - Damn, those are insane!
Steak and the mash, rice, and the chicken.
You got your burger, and you got your fried pickles.
What is that? What is that?
That's the chicken.
Even though I just ate bugs and [bleep] for the past
14 days, but I can't let things mix.
It's everything I've dreamed of.
Oh.
Like, I never thought you could feel something like this
over some food. Like, it's crazy, like...
You forget the small things.
- Mm-hmm. - Extra boiled.
- Mm-hmm. - Look how clear that is.
- Mm-hmm. - No more monkey [bleep].
- That good? - Yeah.
I know my body needs to go slow, but you just...
You just can't. 14 days, Andrew.
- We did it. - We did it.
- Last diary cam. - That's it.
Done.
Love y'all. Peace.
Peace out.
