This is it.
I'm here in Zambia.

This is insertion day.

And I'm super excited
to meet my partner.

I know what I brought
to the table.

And I've respected that.

You've not respected me
in any way.

So I'm about to get dropped off
and meet my partner.

Did I listen to
you bitch and complain?

Yes.

I hope she's
cool, down-to-earth.

Look at my point of view.
I brought you here.

You didn't get me here.
I got myself here.

If my partner is
a bossy alpha,

I think I can work with that.

All right, I'm done talking
to you then.

Like, let's be clear.

You're so [bleep]
full of [bleep].

- Really?
- Yeah.

If my partner is bossy,
then I'm just gonna have

to show them that
I wear the pants.

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

Oh, my God.

Two strangers.

Ah!
Run, go, go, go, go.

No food.

No water.

Ah!

21 days.

Don't tap.

Die first.

"Naked and Afraid."

These elephants are like
walking tanks.

It's crazy what these elephants
are capable of doing out here.

They just break everything
and keep walking.

I think you gotta be
crazy to be out here.

I think the thing that scares
me the most is like,

it's really hard to see
a long distance.

I think you just have to have
your head on a swivel

all the time.

Zambia's Luangwa Valley is one
of Africa's last

untamed frontiers.

The region is now at the tail
end of the rainy season,

when sudden storms rip across
the valley and trap rainwater

as floods recede, drawing prey
and predators

from across the area,
including the seven-ton

African elephant.

This unpredictable giant is
capable of reaching charging

speeds of 25 miles per hour,
crushing anything in its path.

I'm hoping to be able to hunt
some impala out here

and some puku.

There's definitely a lot of
places for these animals

to hide, so it's not gonna
make getting to them very easy.

But it's also an advantage
to win your stalking game.

All right, this is it.

Here we go.

I'm so nervous.

I think because I have a deeper
awareness of how hard this is

gonna be and what it's gonna
take to get through it,

I think that's what makes me
so nervous.

All right, sorry mom.

Pretty-- pretty naked
right now.

And, um, we're in the bush.

This is super exciting.

I, uh, I can't wait to meet
my partner and finally

figure out what she's all about.

Hopefully they're super cool
and down-to-earth, laid-back,

and we can just have a good
time, make this a vacation

instead of a challenge.

If my partner is bossy,
then I'm just gonna have

to show them
that I wear the pants.

Yeah, this is wild how dense
this is.

Gosh, it's so thick back here.

I'm just nervous for how hard
it's gonna be.

Let's cross our fingers
and hope that my partner

is awesome.

I hope they're cool 'cause
I have to spend three weeks

with them.

- Hey, how are you?
- Hey.

Fancy meeting you here.
Tyler.

I'm Ali.
Nice to meet you.

- Where are you from?
- I'm from North Carolina.

You're from the South,
I can tell already.

- Uh, Florida.
- So we're not too far apart.

- You're not too far.
- Hello, Americans.

Uh, anyways, what do you do?

So I'm
a wilderness instructor.

So I lead expeditions,
um, and I hunt as well.

I guess the theme for my life
has been, do hard [bleep]

in beautiful places.

I take people into
beautiful places and also rugged

wilderness areas and help them
through various challenges

in the wild.

I've always just wanted to be
outdoors all the time,

even as a kid.

And if you asked me at 10 years
old what I wanted to do when

I grow up, I would have told
you that I wanted to live

in the woods off the land.

So you got a lot
of experience, though,

like, survival in life?
- I have some experience, yes.

Some experience?
OK.

Yeah, with some survival
skills, for sure.

How about you?

I'm a tree climber,
and other than that,

I adventure everywhere.
Pretty much hunt everywhere.

Being a tree climber,
it's full of thrill.

Every day, you're pretty much
100 feet in the air.

So you have to be able
to overcome fears.

I think my skills are gonna
go pretty well here, um,

considering I spend a ton of
time in the woods with nature.

So I just weave some palm
fronds together.

That's my palm-frond roof.

Really good
with trapping, shelter-building,

fire skills, and hunting.

And this right here is
our setup for killing some

South-African Zambia
bad mother-truckers.

Man, being a tree climber,
I love that.

So I just hope that we can both
work together and, like,

I'll pull my weight,
you pull your weight.

We'll just work together
and balance it.

- [bleep] and send it.
- Yeah, just [bleep] send it.

- Yeah, for sure, for sure.
- Yeah.

Well, do you wanna see
what we got?

Yeah, I do wanna see
what we got.

Yeah, uh.

- This looks like yours.
- Yeah, that's mine.

- I got my bow and arrows.
- I actually have the same bow.

Yeah, let's check out
what you got.

So here's what I have.

I actually had
a custom knife made.

- That's awesome-- OK.
- Yeah, so this is the blade.

And then we do have a little

baby saw blade just in case
- OK.

we need it, so.
- Perfect.

In addition to their survival
items, Alison and Tyler have

been given a pot to boil water
and a fire-starter.

So I have one more thing
in here.

We've got a map.
OK.

Looks like that's
where we are.

OK.

And then we've got maybe
two water sources.

Yeah,
that one's definitely closer.

So we'll plan to come here,
stay here for a while,

and then we'll bounce over.

It'd be nice anyways towards
the end to be a little closer

to extraction.
- Oh, right, yeah-- OK.

Well, I guess it looks like
we better start getting going.

- You want me to lead?
- Yeah, go ahead.

OK.

Alison and Tyler have decided
to trek to the closest

water source,
four miles northeast.

The hike will take them through
tangles of thorns and areas

of grassland, prime hunting
grounds for lions...

...Africa's most feared
predator.

There's a big cloud
right there.

- Looks like it might rain soon.
- Yeah.

A bunch of really tall
grass here.

Uh, well, maybe
we should veer left.

OK.

- I'm stuck.
- Let's through--
let's get--

let's catch a game trail.
If you come right here.

You see one?

We'll make one,
and then we'll--

- We'll make one.
- Yeah.

This is pretty light grass
right here, so we won't

have an issue.

I'm a little bit concerned
about the fact that

he's already telling me
what to do-- "Let's go
this way, let's go

that way, do this, do that."

You know, I teach survival,
and I spend so much time living

in the wilderness.
- Yeah.

We're gonna cut right
again right here.

OK.

It's getting a little
thick up here, so just watch

your step
and what you're coming into.

OK.
Oh, yeah, thorn.

Oh, there's some under
your feet right now too.

- Yeah.
- Be careful on the step.

- Ooh.
- Watch your step right there.

We should go left.

I'mma cut over there,
right here.

- I just--
- Oh, yeah.

I personally didn't wanna
cut through that right there.

OK.

What's your boyfriend think
about you coming on the show?

Oh, he's really excited
for me to be here.

He actually was--

he actually was like, "I hope
you get some, like, alpha bro

"who thinks you don't know
anything, and he has to take

"care of you and, like,
doesn't realize that you have

a good amount of skills."
Um...

I can-- I can be
bossy sometimes.

Yeah, I kind of am
the alpha one.

What?

Yeah.

It's funny, I'm kind of
the alpha one.

- Oh, thunder.
- Yeah, I heard that.

We must be getting close.

And we're dipping down
a little bit.

We are getting lower,
that's for sure.

Yeah.
Oh, yeah, look at here.

Oh, yeah.
Starting to rain.

Yeah, the weather is
about to [bleep] on us.

We need something to keep us
safe, something weatherproof.

I like the look of that rock
overhang over there.

- Do you see the big one
behind the tree?
- Yep, yep.

Seeking protection
from the impending storm,

Alison and Tyler have decided
to shelter under a rock ledge.

With the exception
of maybe, like,

I don't know,
baboons and leopards,

maybe lions, it's kind
of hard to get in here.

Yep.
Let's make it work.

So hopefully quickly,
get the fire going.

I've got maybe two and a half
hours of daylight.

So what's-- what's
your idea here?

I'm just blocking
this entrance.

That's all I'm doing.

That's it.
What do you think?

What do you want?

I think I probably wouldn't
worry about that entrance,

'cause once we get
a fire going,

All right.

The trek has been a lot longer
than I thought it was gonna

be, so we're having to move
faster than I really

would like to.

We have no control over
the weather, and we only have

a few hours of daylight left.
Sunset's pretty early here.

I wanna get some water going.

That way we stay hydrated.

All right.

[bleep] rain.

Can't do [bleep] without a fire.

Just wanna go ahead and try
to get something for the water.

All right.

Uh, right now, I'm gonna
focus on one big fire,

keeping wood dry.

And keeping a fire going is
gonna be extremely important

because of safety and keeping
our water boiling and keeping

these animals away.
- Nice.

If you don't have fire,
you probably won't be here long.

That's what I'm talking about.

Yeah, it was raining today,
we got a fire started quick,

somewhat easy.
I think it's a success.

- We got water we can boil now.
- Yeah.

Looks like it stopped raining.

Super windy.

It's, I don't know,
smoke's rough for her.

Smoke.
My eye's watering.

You good over there?

Oh, my god,
I can't handle the smoke.

2
- You good over there?

Oh my God,
I can't handle the smoke.

Do you need water?
You need anything?

No.

The smoke is kicking her ass
out here.

It's, I don't know,
smoke's rough for her, so.

You wanna--
you gonna sit right here?

Yeah, I'm just gonna sit--

It'll be better before
you know it.

So, um, I feel a little bit
better after throwing up.

The more I talk,
the worse I feel.

So I'm just gonna
lay here and, um...

So hopefully I'll feel better
in the morning.

Um, so we just woke up.

We had a bit of a rough night.

Um, me, I think more
than Tyler, um.

The smoke from our fire
went like straight into where

we were sleeping,
and I was coughing like crazy.

Um, and eventually I threw up.

Thus, we need some options
for sleep and move the fire

to there.

And we just barely made it
through the night

with enough firewood.

So, we really-- we wanna, like,
have double that amount

for tonight, 'cause elephants,
I know they're around.

Yeah.

You think this is enough
for the night?

Do we got enough stuff to...

to get us going bare minimum?
- For sure.

Let's go out and get
more firewood.

Uh, no, that ain't happening.

I want to try to get some food.

It's strange, because
I thought we were

getting firewood.

You know, you can do it.

[bleep] Whatever.

So, Ali didn't like
that, but my plan for today is

gonna be some foraging
that's gonna be very beneficial

for us in the long run.

Today, you know, we woke up,
and we made a game plan

of like, "Hey, we really need
more firewood this time."

We'd like to have a lot.

And then he just like
went and foraged.

It takes way more firewood to
have a big, nice fire, which is

what we need to keep
the animals away.

I hope this is enough firewood
to get through the night.

There's a bunch here, a bunch
there, and then some over there.

So... yeah.

Hmm.

I found...

some type of fruit or nut,

and they're almost squishy.

Don't know what they are yet,
but .

We got some pus coming out
of this one, but it's definitely

a fruit or a nut.

Just don't know.

I'm gonna pick 'em all.

- I brought goods.
- Did you really?

- What you got?
- You ever seen these?

- I have, yeah.
- You know what they are?

Yeah, they're the other
kind of cucumber.

Oh, I knew they were some type
of fruit.

Nope.

- Hmm?
- Mm-mnh.

They're super bitter.
You wouldn't wanna eat that.

- Ew.
- Mm-hmm.

That one's really bitter.

So he just went foraging,
and he comes back, and he has

a bunch of fruit, but it's all
from the same plant, which was

weird to me of, like,
"If you don't know if we can

eat this or not, why did
you bring all of them?"

It should taste just
like a cucumber.

If it doesn't taste just like
a cucumber,

it's not the right thing.

That was a waste of energy.

So, um, we have a fire right
here under our rock shelter.

Another little fire over here.

And we're about to try to get
some more sleep, so peace out.

I think it's two, and I think
we have enough wood to get

through till six
in the morning, so.

We're hoping it'll burn
really slow.

Anyway.

The fire, it was just super,
super hot underneath that rock.

- Is that what it is?
- That is what it is.

That's super dangerous.

We'll just have a tough
night's sleep, is all.

I don't wanna get crushed.
I don't want to sleep here.

Figure it out tomorrow.

My concern is either
the bottom is gonna pop

and we're gonna get
shrapnel, or the whole thing

comes down.

Well, my aspect is, is
like, way over here we have

a little spot we can sleep.

So, I'm--

I'm not--

All right, so we move
the fire from out under the rock

to the outside, so.
- Thank you.

Just looking out, that's all.

Um, so, move the fire into
the opening out there.

That way we take the heat off
the rock, and our partner is

right over there,
right outside our boma.

Because, yeah...

I had such a rough night.
I'm exhausted.

The fire,
it destabilizes the rock.

Can't sleep under it.
It's too dangerous.

And Tyler was not concerned
at all.

So I don't really know,
like, what's going on

in his head.

Our night last night,
well, we put our fire under

the overhang of a rock,
started like crack-a-lacking

all night, so we had to move
our fire around.

Ali was definitely
flipping out.

She was definitely stressing
a little bit.

Um, I guess you could say
I was a little bit frustrated,

a little bit pissed off.

She complains
about everything.

First the smoke,
and then it's the wall,

rather than just accepting it
and keeping your mouth shut.

I'm pretty committed
to the challenge,

but you never know.

Um, anything can change,
especially with what--

with what I'm feeling.

How long do you think
we should stay here?

I think we've been-- we're
gonna burn so much energy just

getting firewood from
further-and-further away.

Mmm, I don't like
anything about this spot.

Yeah.

You can't build
a stable structure

when you're on a slope.
And no--

It ain't gonna keep you
no warm under there.

You can't make any type
of fire.

- So you wanna move?
- Yeah, for sure.

When we got here, I was really
excited about the overhanging

rock because it was
an opportunity to have

immedi-- like an instant dry
shelter and a place to have

a fire out of the rain.

But now we can't build
underneath the rock anymore

'cause it's too dangerous.

So we have made the decision
to leave.

So here's our map.
We're here.

Yep.
We're gonna have to cut up.

It'll definitely be a major
advantage, I think.

I like going this way because
then we will have less sun

exposure like at the height
of the day.

Absolutely.
Hit the road.

- I think we're good.
- Yeah.

Alison and Tyler have decided
to move to the second water

source in the area,
a lagoon five miles east

that draws animals
from miles around.

To get there, they must travel
through a dry, rocky riverbed,

deeper into prime
ambush territory.

Hey, you got a heavy
step over here.

Watch your step.

- Good?
- Yeah, I'm good.

And try and kinda
stay out of that

longer vegetation.
Oh, you OK?

Yeah, I was looking at you
and not looking

where I was stepping.
- OK.

Try to be real light-footed.

Be very careful putting
your foot down.

I-- well, it wasn't like
I do step pretty light-footed.

- I just stepped on a big,
sharp rock.
- Yeah.

So we just try to keep
a continuous pace but stay

a little light-footed,
especially being

on these rocks.

Might I remind you, I do lead
trips through things like this.

I know.
I'm just saying.

So I'm pretty comfortable
walking through

this kind of terrain.
- Well, you're the one that

complained about your feet,
not me.

So I'm just looking out
for ya.

Tyler is talking about
managing our risks

and our energy.

And I was like, "OK,
that's cool.

I'm glad you feel really
comfortable walking."

But I just chose to give him
some grace and not be snippy.

For now, I'm gonna just
move on.

And we need to turn left.

Looks like this is
the best spot.

Yeah.
Yeah, this could--

this could be the cut-up
that we need to get to that

new spot.

OK, so

light-footed and alert.

Bunch of ants
on the ground up here.

Um, they don't look like
they're our friends.

I'm gonna try to just
step over.

- I think I might
go this way.
- What?

- The trail goes this way.
- I think this way looks better.

Well, we shouldn't stay far
apart, so.

We're pretty close together.

- Uh.
- It's OK.

I'm worried about Ali.
I don't know.

She's carrying her weight,
I guess.

But I'm not sure I wanna stay
here any longer,

especially with her complaining
about everything.

I don't know.

This looks a bit clearer
over here.

I mean, you can think
that, and then you've gotta

a cross mud hole up there.
- No.

- Just try this way.
- OK.

I'm just following the leader.

Well, I found our water source.

Yeah, it looks full
of interesting things.

Uh, move away that top
layer and just pull

a 15-minute roll, and this water
will be OK.

We're getting close to
where we should put a camp.

Yeah, there's an acacia
right here.

- Yeah.
- That's great.

Uh, yeah, you wanna
dip in here?

Yeah.

We could use like,
you know, this space in here.

Um.

Yeah, I would not do this.

I would not put it anywhere
near the middle of where game

would walk.

We could go right there
and under the acacia thorns.

I'm talking not building
on a game trail.

So I'm very aware that I am
in a hostile environment.

There are prints
everywhere here.

Everywhere.

You can't take a step
and not see a track.

Let's take a look around
this outside, maybe right here.

We clear the inside of this.

But look, there's elephant
prints literally right here.

This is not off the trail.

OK, well, we're in Africa,
and there's

elephants everywhere.

Hey, buddy, you were saying
that we needed to get off

the game trail, so...
- That's off the game trail.

I'm talking not building on
a game trail where they walk.

- Right, for sure, but...
- Their tracks are here.

Not there.
They're not walking there.

We can create a ring
around here.

Once we have a fire going,
it's gonna help us a lot.

I just feel like we need
better sight line.

What is wrong with this?

You were the one who was like,
"We can't be by a game trail.

We can't be by a game trail."

Well, there's two game trails
right here.

We're in the middle of them.

OK, and there's a game trail
here, and there's a game trail

here, and here, and up here.
I mean, they're everywhere.

You're not avoiding
the game trail.

No, I-- OK.
I'm just...

I'll let you make this call.
This is for your comfort.

Dude, you don't like
anything I've said?

Look at my point
of view-- you have a bow.

You have fresh water.
I brought you here.

You didn't get me here.
I got myself here.

Did I listen to you bitch
and complain about the smoke

and everything else last night
in the shelter?

- Yes.
- You're so [bleep]
full of [bleep].

- Really?
- Yeah.

You know what?
I'm tapping.

I'm done.

2

You're so [bleep] full
of [bleep].

- Really?
- Yeah.

You know what?
I'm tapping.

I'm done.

We could use like,
you know, this space in here.

No, I'm done.
I'm done.

I think you will do great
things out here, and I think

you're very capable and strong.

I-- I got you here, and I know
you're here, and you're

in a safe area.
- You didn't get me here.

I got myself here.
I walked myself here.

I'm not saying I got you out.
I'm not talking to you.

Do you want the [bleep] bow
or no?

Dude, this is-- this is--
this sucks, man.

Like, let's be clear.

I was hoping we would work
together as a team, and I don't

need you to tell me "I've given
you everything you need.

There's water, there's shade,
there's this, there's that."

I can hold my own,
and I can pull my own.

So I was hoping that you just
were making some assumptions

about my skill
level and abilities.

And that in a few days,
you would see like,

"Oh, Ali knows her [bleep].
- You know what?

- And you would stop.
- Well-- that's OK.

You know what?
Take this.

I'm done.

'Cause I'm not arguing
with you no more.

- I'm being genuine.
- OK.

That's, yeah, no.

I think that, um,
I do have a lot of growing

to do as a person.

And I'm sorry
I seem self-centered.

But I'm done.
Call the producer.

Tell him I'm tapping out.

What's going on?

Uh, I'm tapping out.

You don't wanna give it
another day?

No.
I think that's it.

100% sure?

- 100%.
- All right.

All right.
Kick some ass.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

I, uh, made my choice.
This is it.

I haven't struggled.
I've had no problem with this.

I'm physically capable,
but I thought about it.

She's made some slick comments
throughout the time, so I said,

"You know what?

With the smart comments that
have came out the mouth,"

I said, You're strong.
You can do this."

You're a survivalist,
you can build a shelter

and a boma without nobody.

Rather than continuing this
challenge, I think I'm gonna

go home, go hit some golf balls
with my brother, drink some

cold beer, sit down, relax.

After just three days
in the bush, Tyler

exits the challenge.

His PSR drops from 6.3 to 5.1.

You know, it's more work for me,

and it's scarier for me, but...

I can do it, it's OK.

So Tyler just tapped.

Yeah, we kind of fought
immediately, and I felt like

I was just making suggestions.

I didn't think I was
being hypercritical

of what he wanted.

I think he took me kind of
pushing back on him as like me

fighting him--
I hope I didn't.

Um...

I can-- I can be
bossy sometimes.

I just had such a hard time
communicating with him.

And he refused to communicate
with me, and that ended up

in a big blow up.
So this place is good enough.

I might clear away
just a little bit of brush,

close that stuff in.

I'm gonna try to make this boma
as small as I can,

'cause the smaller it is,
the less work I have to do.

I think I'm gonna go
from this tree to that clump.

It'll be like a triangle.

I could get this closed
in pretty well with acacia.

I just have to keep working,
and it's really just, I need to

get this good enough to get me
through the night.

That worked fairly well.

There.

It is-- the next 18
days, it's gonna be brutal.

I need to keep that fire going
all night.

I have some wood right there.

Yeah, really close.

So I'm hoping that my fire
will be big enough,

and they'll stay away.

Not really expecting to get
much sleep, 'cause I'm kind of

freaked out.

To think about there's all
these big cats, and the only

thing between me and them is,
you know, some thorns.

It's a lot.

Way too close
for comfort.

Just so scary to be stuck in
this boma and have an elephant

that close!

Um, well, me
and my filthy face made it

through the night.
It was pretty noisy.

I didn't get too much sleep.

I just have to get
just day-by-day on my own

without Tyler.

It is scary and it would be
nice if there was someone else,

but if I wasn't scared,
then there's no opportunity

to be brave.

I've been watching this pond
and I haven't seen any croc

eyes and snouts coming up out
of the water.

That doesn't mean that they're
not here.

Basically all night I heard
like flopping of fish.

So my plan is to try my hand
at some fishing and see

if I can catch something.

Oh, hey, there's a tree.

I'm gonna make an improvised
fishing rig.

There we go.

I'm gonna do cane-pole fishing.

So I cut a cane, and I got
a bunch of strips of bark

that I made a big,
long fishing line.

So I just need to make
the right hook and hopefully

I'll get a fish.

I have an acacia thorn right
here that's shaped

kind of like a hook.

Plus this wood is really hard,
which is a good

for making a hook.

And I have a worm
and a praying mantis as bait.

So maybe this will work.

I'm really hoping that this
works, because it's gonna suck

to not get any food.

I don't know what I'm gonna
feel like in like 10 days.

That's a little scary for me.

There's a duck.

I think I can shoot that.

Oh!

He broke the hook.

The hook that I was using,
I think, is not strong enough

for these fish,
so I'll try to shoot a duck.

Kind of a bummer.

I think that duck wants
to land.

There he goes.

See if I can get that duck.

I've got Tyler's bow,
and he's got some bird heads

for his arrows.
I'm really hungry.

A duck for breakfast would be
pretty awesome.

30 yards or something?
Man, that's a tough shot.

2
30 yards or something.
Man, that's a tough shot.

Oh, man.
It's so close.

I'm really, really,
really hungry.

I wish I could have shot
that stupid duck.

Oh, there's a lion.

I can't tell how close or how
far a lion is from me based

on the sound.

Um, the big cats, they like
to hunt more at a full moon.

Um...

Lots and lots of people have
been eaten by prides of lions,

but, um, all I can do is keep
my fire going.

I hear lions.

This morning I woke up
and heard a bunch of lions,

um, kind of in the woods
in that direction.

They're pretty loud,
and it sounds like there's

a lot of them.
So that's scary.

I would love to be able
to hunt again, but I am worried

about the lions.

Um, it's definitely a hard
hunting scenario.

I don't wanna get
eaten alive.

This place does not make
it easy.

Having not eaten,
it's making me feel

a little dizzy.
I am very, very, very hungry.

I've lost tons of muscle.

Having energy for extraction
is crucial.

I'd love to find some food.
Well, this is exciting.

There's monkey finger literally
right here.

First monkey finger fruit.
Oh, I'm so excited.

Oh, it's like, it's kind
of herbal-y and tart.

There's definitely sugar
in here for sure.

Any kind of food
is a morale-boost.

So I'm hoping when I'm like
feeling really low,

I'll be able to eat some of
this and feel a little better.

It's nice to find
some calories

even if it's like a handful
of calories.

Storm clouds?
Yeah, that's coming this way.

Oh, my God.

You know, one of my close
friends asked me, he was like,

"You're always taking all
these wild opportunities.

Like, what drives you?"
Death.

Death is what drives me.

And, like, you're not gonna
be a badass if you don't do

badass stuff.

My goal is to, you know,
be the most badass

of all my friends.

But at the same token, I feel
death at my heels all the time.

We have no idea how much time
we have left.

And so when I have
an opportunity to do something

incredible, I take it.

Oh, I just got stung
by something.

My thumb...

it hurts so bad.

I just wanna get through
the night.

It's day 21,
and I got stung by a scorpion.

But I guess I didn't get a full
venom load because my thumb

feels-- it just feels like
I burnt the crap out of it.

But it feels way better
than it did a few hours ago, so.

I had a pretty rough night
but I made it through.

This is the final little
challenge, and once I'm done,

then I can say I actually
did it.

So it's just the last little
push, last little bit.

I am right here,
and I'm headed to here.

So, looks like I need
to ultimately go that way.

After 21 brutal days in
the Luangwa Valley, Ali makes

her final trek through
the deadly Zambian bush.

Her extraction point lies
three miles south, atop a ridge

overlooking the valley.

She must follow an elephant
game trail through

the mud-soaked terrain
while keeping an eye out

for the numerous herds
that roam the area.

Equipped with 200 million scent
receptors and acute hearing,

they're capable of detecting
humans from over a mile away

and can charge without warning.

Walking through this field with
all these elephant footprints

is absolutely exhausting.
It's really hard.

I can never tell which one
I'm gonna complete fall into.

It's just hard to walk
right there.

This is hard just
'cause of the mud.

It's not even uphill.

There's elephants over there.

And there's buffalo over there.

So I'm gonna try to go kind
of around the buffalo,

because that's safer than going
towards the elephant.

Because they'll just
charge you.

I'm telling myself like,
"I shouldn't be scared."

I'm usually pretty good
at managing my fear.

But that is a big,
dangerous animal.

Keeping an eye on that
elephant, 'cause I don't wanna

get too close.

Getting through this.

The buffalo ran off,

so it's a clear shot across
this field.

I can't believe how many thorns
there are, no matter what kind

of ecosystem I'm in,
there's just thorns everywhere.

I have a thorn in my toe.
It's killing me.

But it's been 21 days.
I've been through so much.

There's nothing that the hike
can throw at me that I'm not
gonna tackle.

One foot in front of the other.

Except when I step on a thorn.
And then it's hop for a second.

Getting through this.

Getting close.

Can't see the top,
but that's gotta be my hill.

We're definitely climbing.

As much as I would love to
charge up that hill,

I can't go faster.

That's so epic.

Oh, there's the-- the--

Oh, that's
definitely a truck for me.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

I did it.
We're done.

Oh man, all done.

I'm so happy, elated,
proud of myself and thrilled

and all the things.

Whoo!

I did it, I'm done.

I did that, like, almost all by
myself, almost the whole time.

Sometimes the attitude
that helps you get through

the challenges is being able
to control that mental game.

To accomplish what you need is,
I think, is the most critical.

Having my partner tap early was
one of the best things that

could have happened to me
for this challenge.

My comfort with being alone
definitely grew.

Amazing to be on the other side
of the hardest thing

I've ever done,
and I've done it.

So I didn't tap.
I made it through everything.

It's just really incredible.

I tried to think of it
as an opportunity to be brave.

Being brave means being scared
and doing it anyway.

Ali completes the challenge,
shedding 10 pounds,

while her primitive survival
rating jumps from 6.7 to 7.2.

This is epic.

You know, the way you approach
things and your mentality

makes-- can really make
or break you.

Whoo-hoo!

I did it!
Whoo-hoo!
