Original subtitles

[Cheeny] This is different.

[Steven] This is something we've never done before.

[Matt] You gotta watch your back for not just animals this time,

but for the other survivalists.

Run!

Yeah!

[Gurgling]

[Narrator] For the first time ever,

12 of Naked and Afraid's most skilled survivalists

are competing head-to-head for 45 days

in the South African bush...

Whoo! [Laughs]

[Narrator] ...To crown the best of the best...

Yeah!

[Narrator] ...And win $100,000.

This is what I live for!

I will do anything to win this challenge.

[Narrator] Failure means elimination.

Don't bitch about [Bleep] losing.

[Narrator] Only one will reach the end...

[Jeff] This challenge is so real.

[Narrator] ...And will be the last one standing.

Previously on last one standing,

a pack formed to stop Jeff from hoarding all the items.

When there's a weasel stealing eggs, you now,

we gotta split the basket up a little bit.

Dude! Hell yeah!

[Narrator] After a tough migration hike...

[Groans]

[Narrator] ...The survivalists arrive at zone two...

- [Grunts] - This one's a fun one, huh?

[Narrator] ...And scramble to find a new set of assets.

[Waz] Now it's just a race

who can find this survival tool.

[Steven] It's a race against the clock.

[Narrator] Steven and Sarah managed to score

their first item, the fishing kit.

I think I found it!

[Narrator] But their win can come at a huge cost.

[Jeff] Right now I could eliminate

two of my competitors.

Right now.

Well, this is one of those moments.

If I toss their pot in the river,

they'd never see it again...

And they wouldn't be able to boil water.

But...

I'm gonna let Steven and Sarah have this one.

Come down to day 42, things might be different.

- That was brutal. - [Sarah groans]

I think I just wanna get back over there.

[Steven laughs] Okay.

[Narrator] Steven and Sarah have found

the first survival cash

in zone two.

There are seven cashes remaining.

[Matt] We're trying to figure out

where one of these cashes are.

I don't know if it's in a tree, if it's in a hole,

what it is.

[Narrator] Matt, Dan and Wes

are searching this wooded environment

marked by porcupine symbols on their map

to track four hidden cashes.

Continue down this one.

This one looks the most plausible.

The three of us are plotting

to figure out how to find these cashes

after Jeff had tried to go out and take every single cash.

Interesting kind of camaraderie

and competitiveness

to make sure that one person

doesn't monopolize it all.

Just gonna circle through here.

What we don't know is exactly what we're gonna find.

We have no idea what really lies ahead.

We don't know what the item looks like.

None of the above.

We should be seeing some sort of sign.

Track those porcupines somewhere.

Somewhere in this vicinity.

- [Wes] Hold it. - [Matt] You got something?

[Wes] Uh, two porcupine quills.

Three.

I keep going forward, keep finding quills.

Doing what I do in the woods when I'm hunting.

- One comes up this hill, too. - [Matt] Could help us.

[Wes] Come on.

I see another one here.

[Dan] Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Matt] Good eye.

If we can't see another one...

Then we are

- tracking it where it started. - Backwards.

[Dan] In my life at home I'm a biologist.

I have a lot of general knowledge

of plants and animals and all that,

and understand a lot of the behaviors

and complexities of the ecosystems out here,

which, really, when you understand that kind of thing,

it offers a lot of opportunities

so you can capitalize on the environment

a little bit better.

We're getting back into the open.

[Dan] Just keep going.

I think we're going the right way.

[Jeff] While I'm out looking for the item near the river,

Stacey is gonna get camp started, get camp going.

And hopefully it's a celebratory night

around the campfire tonight.

The map shows four rocks piled together.

It shows it's near the water's edge.

Those are the visual clues.

What is happening?

It's frustrating, because there is

literally 10,000 different places

something could be hidden.

I'm not stopping, I'm not quitting.

I know I'm close.

I know I'm close.

[Stacey] So, I chose this little dome land.

Ground is relatively flat.

There's lots of vines overhead,

so, um, we could probably make some sort of shelter.

Jeff is, um, off adventuring.

He's out there gallivanting, looking for items.

Hoping that I can get this fire cranking.

That's about it.

[Waz] Yeah, so, as I'm looking for hooks,

I look upstream and I see Steven and Sarah.

They look like they're looking for...

For the same thing I'm looking for.

[Narrator] With one set of fishing assets

found by Steven and Sarah,

two remain on the river.

[Steven] On top of that one.

[Waz] This is a group effort

of how we work together against Jeff

and find an item.

[Whistles]

I'm trying to communicate with Steven.

It's just through whistles.

But the water's so loud.

[Steven grunts]

That one!

[Waz sighs]

Absolutely amazing.

Yeah!

No way!

He found it.

[Bleep]

[Waz] There's another one.

[Steven] Nice! My man! [Laughs]

I'm glad that he had success,

mainly to make sure Jeff doesn't get it.

Whoo!

I found two sets of fishing hooks.

Got eight hooks, two reels, bunch of line.

I know there's gonna be catfish in this water.

I know we're gonna be able to get bait.

So this is food for the week.

That's awesome.

[Jeff] Another one bites the dust.

[Matt] Dan, you wanna try to walk it up...

- Backtrack that way? - [Dan] Backtrack it?

Sure.

[Matt] I don't see any signs here.

The risk for reward is that we spend way too many calories

and don't find this item.

But that's a risk we're taking.

I don't see anything this way.

[Wes] Oh, there's one over by this rock.

- [Matt] Yeah. They're standing up. - [Dan] Nice.

[Wes] All right, got another one. Here you go.

- That one up there? - Oh, there's one here.

All right, we gotta be closing in on this, guys.

[Matt] We're following these porcupine quills.

And African porcupines

have these large, hollow quills.

And that is a telltale sign that there's a porcupine.

Strategically, this leads us from one spot

to another spot to another spot.

And I know I can track an animal

anywhere on the planet.

[Dan] Gotta be around here somewhere.

There's no more trail, really.

Is it right there?

- There is! Yeah! - [Wes] Right there.

- God dang. - This time we win, bitches.

[Sighs] And after a hell of a long walk,

we're victorious.

Oh, looks like a wildebeest hide.

[Dan] No!

- Oh... - Couple wildebeest hides.

Oh, my God, thank God.

I've been really worried about

Cheeny in the cold, guys, you know?

She got a medical condition that makes it bad.

Oh, if right now she's cramping up, it's probably due to

- all those cold nights. - Yeah.

Hey.

Guys. Okay.

And it's a, uh...

Ah, yes!

Shoes!

Two pelts, three of us.

Wes and I, we can split it, each have a half,

and that way you keep a full hide,

you keep both of you warm.

Absolutely.

You okay with that, Wes?

I'm absolutely fine with that.

Okay, Cheeny and I are cuddling tonight.

Good. Yeah.

[Dan] Of all the items out here, a hide is

one of the most important things I can imagine

'cause it is freaking cold out here at night.

And when that's happening,

you're losing an immense amount of calories.

You're starting to shiver, trying to stay warm.

And it's not the kind of calories

you wanna lose out here,

especially when your next meal is not secured.

But with this hide,

it's an absolute game-changer.

That's gonna cover you up pretty darn good.

Oh, my gosh.

[Matt] For me, that hide's gonna be some warmth.

These super-cold nights are very hard to get through.

Amber got taken out with hypothermia.

It's the real threat.

Any one of us could get taken out if you're not prepared.

So this hide, it's gonna set me up for success

as I go forward.

Well, let's get back and then we'll plan on doing this

- all over again in the morning. - Okay.

- Yup. - That's good.

[Wes] We're gonna meet back up in the morning

and we're gonna go look for the other two cashes.

If we can find something similar,

that would be just awesome.

Especially since I don't have any fish hooks.

I'm sure if I gave a hide to somebody,

they would be more than happy to give me a fish hook.

[Matt] Some things you can share, and other things...

Like, we can't share this among the whole thing.

Nobody would have a good enough piece left.

[Wes] Right.

Real slippery right here, so be careful.

[Sarah] Wanna try going across this, then?

- [Steven] Yeah. - Okay.

[Narrator] With the three fishing assets obtained,

Steven and Sarah now focus their attention

on crossing back over the class-two rapids.

[Steven] You gotta get back across the river,

with your bag and your tools and your stuff.

It's insane, the amount of calories

and energy we've put into this.

It's exhausting.

It's incredibly dangerous.

I mean, it's white water.

These waters are moving incredibly fast.

It's easy to slip, and once you slip

you're going as fast as that river is.

There's still a big rock right here.

[Sarah] Yup.

That's deep right there.

Whoa! You good?

Whoa.

Oh, my God, he got all the way down there.

Whoo!

Man, I picked a wrong route.

I mean, I went from zero to, like, 30 miles an hour,

naked, getting bashed on rocks and boulders.

I don't pucker up a whole lot,

but I tell you what, I could have made a diamond

going down that river.

Fire starter's still there. All right, I got everything.

Whoo! That was crazy.

The good lord looking after me today.

What you got, bro?

Got four hooks.

Got, like, 20 pound mono.

So when you were on the other side of the river,

I had a conversation with the good angel

and the devil on my shoulders there.

Could have chucked the pot into the river

and no one ever would have seen it again.

[Steven] I should thank you for being a good person?

[Exhales slowly]

[Sighs]

Jeez.

He made it very aware to me that

he didn't grab my stuff and chuck it in the river,

and how thankful I should be that he didn't do it.

That's sketch, dude.

I know Jeff. I've known him for a long time.

I've lived with him for, you know, 60 days

in Louisiana swamps.

I mean, I'm not judging a book by its cover.

I'm judging a book that I read.

And that's it.

[Jeff laughs]

Any crocs over there?

Yes.

Sarah's doing the smart move

and going upstream a little bit.

Yeah, you're doing great!

Yeah!

[Sarah] This has been a large expenditure of calories,

and I'm certainly exhausted.

Let's go find shelter.

[Sarah] All right.

The light's gonna be fading soon

and we still need to find camp.

We go up into the more shrubby area

so we can try to find an area that's going to be

a little shelter for the night.

[Steven] See that big-ass tree?

- [Sarah] Yeah. - Straight ahead.

[Steven] It's very similar to our last one.

We literally have five of these,

like, almost willow trees that are interwoven,

which will give us some natural cover from the elements.

So this is our best bet.

[Sarah] We'll probably be lifting up these vines,

if not hacking them.

And then having the fire, like, kind of in the middle.

[Steven] Do you wanna do that tonight,

or do you wanna do that first thing in the morning

and just cowboy camp in it here?

It's just I'm exhausted.

We can take the time tomorrow.

[Sarah] Yeah, okay.

Yeah. I need to sit down.

Yeah, sit down.

It's been a long day.

- So, water, fire. - [Sarah] Yeah.

[Cheeny sighs]

Feeling better now and I really wanna get going.

[Dan] You okay, Cheens?

[Cheeny] No, I have a wicked cramp.

The faster I walk, the more I cramp up.

[Sighs] Feeling it now.

[Narrator] After being hit by severe muscle cramps

during the migration...

Cheeny was forced to stay behind at camp

while Dan searched for survival items.

- [Dan] Cheeny! - [Cheeny] Hey!

[Dan] The cramps go away?

[Cheeny sighs] But no, I feel better.

I had to lay down for, like, 20 minutes.

[Dan] Cool.

I'm just working on a fire.

Whoo!

[Dan] It's a huge sense of relief.

I was really worried about Cheeny

because, you know, if one of us taps, both of us taps.

All these people out here

fighting to win $100,000.

And if something like that takes you out,

that's gonna be drama.

Look! Got a whole hide.

[Cheeny] Wildebeest?

- Yeah. Wildebeest hide. - Ooh.

[Cheeny] Dan comes back with a wildebeest pelt,

which is amazing.

A wildebeest pelt goes a long, long way.

Yeah. Me and the cold, we don't get along.

[Dan] All right, we got one of the migrations done.

That excursion was totally worth it,

to not have our shelter overhead for one night,

because this is now our shelter for tonight.

[Cheeny] Yeah. We'll just cowboy camp.

[Dan] Cheeny and I probably have

the least body fat of anybody out here,

and to get through these cold nights

for 40-something days,

a hide...

[Scoffs] Absolutely amazing.

Especially if we don't wanna spend

an intense amount of energy

trying to make a shelter in every single new location.

Big spoon or little spoon?

- We can trade off. - [Laughs]

I like to be the big spoon but we can trade off.

Cool.

We got fire.

I'd say I'm happy.

I got that rock on the back.

That reflects the heat big-time.

Waz!

I got some great news for you.

[Gary] Did you get to the water?

[Waz] So, not only did I get to the water.

I was working my way out,

and got a couple of little fishing hooks.

[Gary] All right!

[Waz] So, I got eight hooks, two reels

and a bunch of line.

Definitely gonna let other people use them.

I'm not gonna sit there

holding on to eight fishing hooks

when there's other people that could be fishing

at the same time. That doesn't make any sense.

So I wanna be a little bit strategic

in relation to working together in a group,

so now I'm in a better position to win this.

[Gary] There we go.

We'll hunker down for the night here, bare minimum.

Me and you lie on each side of this.

Our log fire right here.

We should be good for the night.

Cruising.

That rock looks similar.

That's what I saw earlier.

Maybe I didn't search these rocks here good enough.

It's gotta be right in here.

[Groans] This is nuts.

I've been searching my ass off.

[Groans] It's frustrating.

I think it's hidden within the rocks,

and that's why I haven't seen it.

Come on.

What is happening?

I'm gonna call it and, uh, come back tomorrow.

Today was exhausting.

Stacey!

Jeff?

Did you find the item?

[Jeff] No, I did not, but I worked so hard for that.

[Stacey] I believe you.

[Jeff] Stacey found a wonderful camp here.

I'm loving this.

I think this is fantastic,

and I think this is all gonna work out.

I'm feeling optimistic.

Holy crap, what a day.

Uh, I searched everywhere down by the river

for that survival tool,

and I know I must have stepped over it

probably 15 freaking times.

I'm gonna go explore tomorrow.

[Jeff] Yeah.

[Thunder rumbles]

[Jeff] Yeah, there's definitely thunder in the distance.

Are you worried about the thunder?

[Jeff] We'll be just fine.

Whatever comes, we're ready for it.

[Thunder continues]

Ooh, lightning.

It's not gonna rain, I'm telling you.

[Sarah] It's kind of a gamble to cowboy camp.

When we can all put in about 20% more effort

in the beginning of building this shelter,

we would be 80% more comfortable

in case it rains for the night.

Well, I'm gonna be so [bleep] pissed

if it starts raining.

Well, then have some positive attitude

and wish it doesn't rain.

I can't change the weather.

[Steven] But you cannot put bad vibes out there.

[Sarah] I'm gonna trust you.

[Steven] Thank you. You should.

This isn't my first rodeo.

[Sarah groans]

[Thunder rumbles]

This is the worst part of Naked and Afraid.

Cold and wet,

and naked,

and in the middle of nowhere.

We got a big fire going right now.

But if we lose this, it's instant hypothermia.

[Matt] You can hear it.

I am sitting under a tiny little bit of hide

that I stuck over my head

to just keep my head dry.

Just have to hunker down,

and you hope to not get hit by lightning.

The biggest roar in Africa is not the lion...

[Lightning cracks]

[Matt] ...But the thunder.

[Jeff] We're gonna take the oryx hide

and we're gonna lay this up here

above the fire.

Fire is life.

Protect the fire, protect our life.

[Jeff sighs]

Waz and I are here.

[Waz] Just protecting the fire.

Protecting our fire.

[Waz] The thunder is some of the loudest thunder

I've ever heard in my life. It's ridiculous out here.

Yeah, it's coming down.

Lightning, thunder, pouring rain.

[Bleep]

[Jeff speaking]

[Stacey speaking]

Barely. Barely made it.

[Jeff] I think we both got

more sleep last night than any night.

[Sarah] You did. Speak for yourself.

I don't like how the shelter is.

We've got the hide, but what if we didn't have the hide?

We would be totally s-o-l.

And he's oblivious to how pissed off I am.

He's just dead-set on finding that item.

Maybe we should put up some sort of shelter

so we're not torturing ourselves.

[Jeff] We don't need it.

So we're gonna just keep using the...

- Yeah, I think we should... - Pelt?

probably keep using the pelt,

'cause no matter how much foliage we get on that roof,

when it rains hard, it's just gonna come through.

I'm gonna keep the same strategy.

Focus on the survival items.

And if that means a couple cold, rainy nights

without a roof over my head, so be it.

Let's make our way down to the river.

I'm gonna keep searching.

- All right, partner? - [Stacey] All right.

Whoo! Got a mother lode.

That should be more than enough for us,

for sure.

You know, the storm, you know, surprised me.

You know?

[Sarah] I'm glad to see that Steven

really seemed to take my "20% more effort

for 80% more comfort" talk to heart.

Because lack of sleep

is honestly one of the worst things out here.

It drags you down mentally, emotionally, physically,

and, really, it's one of the things that makes sure

that you're not gonna succeed in a challenge.

I'm building more of a lattice,

uh, over the shelter,

so that we can cover a larger area.

That'll help keep the rain out and the heat in.

It looks so much better today.

I'm very glad that that's the call that we made.

It makes me feel so much better about the situation.

I'd rather spend a majority of the day

taking care of this than, you know...

[Sarah] Having to suffer through the night again.

Yeah.

[Matt] Day eight, not a lot of food been had,

and people are gonna start getting real hungry

and real weak.

But the good news is

I can see that our philosophy

to how we're wanting to do this

is, uh... is coming together.

We know Jeff is struggling,

so right now,

it's time to get on the hunt.

To the east

is a meadow area

that looks like it would be good game,

and so I'm gonna start there and do some exploring.

To hunt is something that's acquired

through years of training, years of practice.

It's not something you can read in a book

and just go out and do it.

You have to actually actively figure it out.

Hey, guys, guys, guys, guys.

Shh.

There's another rat.

Oh, just popped his head out again.

[Man] Yeah, yeah.

[Matt] Bingo.

[Man] You have got to be kidding me.

Who are you?

I swear you could shoot stuff with your eyes closed.

Something about...

About 500 yards,

there's a herd of impala.

It rained last night.

I'm seeing some tracks came out

since the rain.

They're coming down

into this... into this area.

What I need to do is find a spot to ambush them.

Feeling savage.

Flies are landing on me, I'm so still.

Get on.

[Wes] Where you at, Dan?

[Dan] Hey, you heading out?

[Wes] Yeah, if you feel like going on walkabout.

All right, I'm gonna come with you.

Did the hide help out last night?

[Dan] It did. Help you out, too?

[Wes] Oh, my gosh. It would've been a nightmare without it.

[Dan] Right? Couldn't have happened at a better moment.

So, this would be the first corner of the porcupine area.

- I mean, we're in the zone. - So now we just...

- [Wes] Walk and look? - Walk around.

- Okay. Good luck. - Perfect. Same to you.

[Narrator] There were four survival cashes

hidden within this dense environment.

With two cashes found,

Dan and Wes search for signs of porcupines

to find the remaining two.

[Wes] Uh, our strategy is to look in two different places.

He's gonna look down elevation just a little bit,

and I'm gonna look up elevation.

[Dan] Close to something.

I hope.

Jeff's strategy is obviously

to get to all the cashes first,

and hoard all the things and try to barter with people.

My strategy, basically,

is to try to get to some of these before Jeff.

[Wes] I love hunting.

If I can just find the first quill,

or a drop of blood, then I'm off to the races.

I don't see anything.

And I know we're in the zone.

Yesterday we tracked the porcupine

by finding a big group of quills,

and then from there

searching a trail of quills.

Here we're not finding any at all.

Damn it.

Wind is coming strong up the valley.

So have to use that

for as much of my advantage as possible.

One person can take a whole meadow full of animals

and make it disappear.

Because if they smell you,

you know, the gig is over.

There's some impala.

You can see them right up in the bank.

[Softly] Into the shadow.

The tree's our backdrop.

[Footsteps crunch]

[Sighs]

[Grunts]

[Sighs]

[Wes] Dan!

[Dan] Yeah?

[Wes] You find anything?

[Dan] I got nothing.

[Wes] Nothing over here.

[Dan] Nothing?

The one we found yesterday,

the trail we found yesterday,

was all the way down here in the gorge.

Makes me think it's just this general area.

I'm walking concentric circles around that area,

I'm not finding anything at all.

[Wes] Everything that we looked at, followed,

all signs pointed to it being here.

But it could be somewhere else.

I'm coming to you, buddy. I'm getting frustrated.

You and I have walked our asses off this area

and we have not seen one quill.

[Dan] Unfortunately this time we don't find anything.

And we're kinda getting burnt out. We're tired.

The sun is up, we're hot.

I can't wait to dunk my body in that river.

[Jeff] The map says, "search the rocks

to find a survival tool."

This big loop in the river here

is that sandy beach.

Yeah.

The other clues on the map

would be the picture of these rocks here.

One big one. The majority in the water.

Two others right next to it.

What do you say we head to that Boulder up there?

Search that area.

[Stacey] Yeah, let's go look.

[Jeff] This is now our second day in this location,

and I think today can be a big day for us.

We work diligently down by this water today,

I believe I can find this item.

As long as we bust our ass

non-stop all day, good things will happen.

Let's find this thing.

[Matt] It is a beautiful spot.

The previous location,

its water hole was so nasty

that I wouldn't dare even wash my face in it.

Besides getting these thorns out,

I need to bathe a little bit.

The human scent goes 50 meters in every direction,

so I am going to bathe

and get myself as scent-free as possible

for the next hunt.

- [Jeff] Morning, buddy. - Good morning.

- How you doing, bud? - Good.

So, man, at the porcupine track thing,

were they tucked in a porcupine hole?

They're hard, hard to see.

The one I saw was, like,

we almost stepped on it.

[Jeff] Oh, wow.

[Matt] I don't know what the item was,

but I heard this one was gone.

I kinda see the bull [bleep] coming out of his mouth

before I think he even finishes his sentence.

Well, we're gonna look, 'cause I heard that

one of those items was gone in the last location,

and it ended up being there, so...

Matt does not want me here,

and honestly, compliments accepted.

That only makes me stronger

and more dedicated to, uh... To win this thing.

[Sarah] This is tough.

[Jeff] I walked all this a thousand times yesterday,

which makes me think it is tucked somewhere.

To be honest, at this point,

I can't really turn my back

and bathe in the water while they're out scavenging,

because if I sat my stuff down and started bathing,

they'd try to walk away with my pride and joy here,

so bathing will have to wait a little bit.

[Groaning] Come on.

So, there was one thorn.

Try to get them removed before they create

any more problems.

Any luck?

Nothing.

I'm sweating profusely.

I'm breathing hard. The sun is hot.

But I can't stop.

Losing is not an option for me right now.

So, crazy idea.

I just have to throw it to you.

See Matt over there, like, getting his fish or whatever?

Yeah.

And you see how he left

his bow and his quiver on the rock?

Yeah.

[Jeff] Would it be totally crazy to go over,

grab his bow and quiver and walk away?

[Stacey] Yeah, that would be crazy.

I just, I don't...

I mean, I bet I could get this thing.

Could pay off down the line.

It would be easy to do.

You know?

[Stacey] Jeff.

That just says a lot about his character.

Do not do that.

[Jeff] Could pay off down the line.

Grab his bow and quiver and walk away.

[Stacey] That would be crazy.

No! Do not do that.

All right. Crazy idea. Got it.

[Stacey] It's not ethical to sabotage others'

ability to complete the challenge

just because you have a desire to win.

If he would have stole it then he would have

kind of put my name on the line too,

and that would've pissed me off.

I wouldn't have been okay with that.

[Matt] I hate having to watch over my shoulder.

Jeff does not have the cojones

to try to pull the bow out of my hand, and, uh,

I think he still would steal it,

so I'm gonna keep him, uh...

Keep him at an arm's distance.

Gotta stay vigilant.

For weasels.

[Jeff] Keeping the peace early

could pay off down the line.

Later on in the challenge, though,

that may be what we have to do.

[Stacey] I just wanna go back to camp

to drink some damn water, that's all.

- It's hot. - Yeah.

[Jeff] So, another thing that we can think about,

possibly pitching a trade with Waz and Gary

for maybe a couple of fishing hooks

for one of these big old survival knives.

[Stacey] Well, it's worth the effort.

But I'm the one that no one trusts out here.

Would you feel comfortable bringing it up?

[Waz] He turns and says to Stacey,

"we wanna try and get a couple of hooks for this knife,

but I'm not the trusted one.

Here, why don't you take the knife

and you bring it up in conversation?"

And I heard the whole thing.

It needs to be a trade for both teams.

I think it's a win-win.

- I'll ask him. - Okay.

[Jeff] I know that Waz found two sets of fish hooks

and fishing line,

so he has more than he needs,

and we happen to have

a survival knife that we don't need.

It just makes sense

that we were to do some type of formal trade.

I already ruffled Waz's feathers once,

and I learned he doesn't like trades.

Oh, shoot, you guys are right there.

[Waz] He didn't know I was laying there.

He didn't know that I could hear them.

Jeff knew that he'd been caught.

He's starting to realize

that the things that he's saying

versus the things that he's doing

aren't matching up, and everyone can see it.

You guys find that survival tool, Jeff?

[Jeff] No, sir.

I bet we collectively put in five hours

between me and Stacey.

- [Waz] That's ridiculous. - Maybe more.

[Waz] Jesus. Tough one, eh?

And congrats on getting that fishing gear.

Yeah, so I've got eight hooks.

Each one is, like, a hand reel

with a bunch of line and four hooks on it.

Wow.

Would you guys be willing to trade

a couple hooks for a knife?

- I'll let you borrow. - [Stacey] Okay.

[Jeff] How about we give you a knife?

- Use it. - I love the sound of that.

[Jeff] Win this challenge with it, and, yeah.

- This is a good [bleep] knife. - [Jeff] dude, it's...

It'll change your world out here.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

[Stacey] That gifting decision

to give to Waz was totally Jeff.

I was very surprised,

because it seems like

sometimes Jeff won't do something

unless he's gonna get a payoff from it.

[Waz] I'll give you a couple hooks,

as much line as you need.

- That's amazing. Thank you. - [Waz] Yeah.

Thank you.

[Waz] He's got this mindset of

what he thinks is gonna win this competition.

What he doesn't realize is

he's playing checkers and I'm playing 3D chess.

I'm trying to win this in a way

that doesn't compromise who I am as a human.

Anything outside of that that I can do

to take home that money, I'm gonna do.

[Jeff] Thanks for your energy, man.

Yeah, thanks, Waz. We appreciate you.

- It feels good. Thanks, Waz. - [Waz] Yeah, thanks.

[Jeff] I've invested so much time already.

Can't quit now.

So I'm gonna go and continue

and search for this advanced survival tool.

[Stacey] Okay.

[Jeff] It's day three in this location

and we haven't found anything yet.

I can't quit now.

Every item is gonna help us long-term

to win this challenge.

I'm going to just go check out the porcupine tracks.

- Mmm. - And just see...

And just do a little bit of exploring.

[Jeff] Mmm-hmm.

[Stacey speaking]

[Jeff] Um...

[Stacey] Jeff's been rolling around with the map the whole time.

I mean, it's like pulling teeth

to get him to let me have the map.

Like, all right, let me memorize

the paces real quick

and kind of get a general idea of where I'm going,

and then I'll just wander around

until I find something, maybe.

[Jeff] So, I've got the map.

- All right. Another day. - Yeah.

[Stacey] He's taking the map

to go look for his item,

and I am seeking out a hidden item all by myself

based on intuition and memory only.

No map.

I don't know how I'm gonna do,

but I'm gonna give it a go.

I memorized how many strides it would take me

to get to the intersection

where the porcupine tracks would start.

It was 150 paces.

I counted to 124 paces.

I'm gonna just keep going this way,

and just look around.

I think that I'm pretty underestimated.

Jeff does perceive me as a lesser-skilled survivalist,

someone with less hours out here,

less experience.

But I want to win this thing.

Oh, look! We found a couple.

That feels good.

There's another one.

I'm trying to establish some independence

from my partnership with Jeff,

and it does feel like I'm on the right track.

This is a tough one. This is a really tough one.

What I know from

river ecosystems like this

is the water levels change drastically.

So before, I was assuming

that these rocks and the item was in the river.

But now that might not be the case.

I can't find this item anywhere.

I mean, I am reaching my hand in holes

that would scare the [bleep] out of most people.

I've walked this entire area.

And I know it's here. I know it.

This is crazy.

Come on.

Walked this so many times.

It's insane.

It's absolutely insane.

This is interesting.

I don't know if I lost the track.

It seems like it stopped here.

I'm looking for a porcupine quill to lead me further.

Where are you?

That last quill just stops at that clearing over there.

I'm not even sure if I'm in the right spot,

and I'm not seeing anything.

I would suspect I would see some quills or something trailing me.

Brain's not the best out here on minimal food.

It doesn't work like normal.

Here's another one.

Duh.

Oh! I think I found something.

Ow! Ow! There's lots of thorns.

Ah! It's tearing my flesh.

Ah! [Bleep]

Oh! Found something.

Ow! Ow!

There's lots of thorns.

Ah! It's tearing my flesh.

Got it!

Oh, look at that.

This is gonna help with the next survival challenge.

We can cut really big trees with this.

Feels good to do something on my own.

It's a huge confidence boost, realizing that I was able to find that with no map.

Jeff's always... like, he's just go, go, go. Wants to be the one.

He likes to step in and be at the forefront,

and people like me won't see any of that glory unless they step up

and do it by themselves.

I feel a new element of confidence and power within myself,

and it is glorious.

I am here to win.

[Waz] Just surveying to see if there are any rocks

that kind of match the picture.

This is a picture of three big rocks sticking up out of the water.

So that's a literal symbol.

I might look for a bigger rock that looks like the top half of a sphere.

Maybe I'm pushing rocks around to find something down underneath.

This morning, I'm gonna go look for the survival item

that's still outstanding down by the water.

- What's up, buddy? How you doing, man? - Oh, never better.

- [Waz] You looking for this thing? - [Dan] Yeah.

- [Waz] You wanna put our brains together? - [Dan] Yeah, I'd love to.

[Waz] All right.

It's great to see Dan.

Must have spent 50 days with him in the Amazon.

You know, him and I are very similar in survival.

We approach it as a mental game,

and we try and look for the bright side of things.

And we're gonna put our brains together

and try and see if we can find this thing a little bit quicker.

This rock over here, at that angle,

kind of looked like the one in the picture.

I think we might have to push back this way a little bit.

This one's a fun one, huh?

[Dan] Jeff is rolling through here.

We know his game is to just get out there

and collect everything he possibly can.

So I'm a little worried about him being on our tails.

[Waz] Jeff, what do you reckon, where's the shoreline on this picture?

- I've only looked at this map hours. - Yeah, no doubt.

It's this color here. These are the rocks.

Which makes me think maybe it's on a rock in the river.

When I got these fishing hooks,

they were all on top of rocks outside of the water,

and the rocks looked like that.

- Literal... - Okay.

- I was thinking that, too. - Okay.

[Waz] So if that's literal, we have rocks almost stacked on top of each other

- in a pile. - [Jeff] Yeah. Interesting.

[Waz] I just laid out everything that I thought, everything that I knew.

That's part of me planting seeds in the back of his head

that it does not matter what he does, what he knows.

I'm happy to share all my information with you.

You do not worry me one little bit,

and that I could just go and find that survival tool and walk away with it.

Well, good luck, guys.

My strategy for searching today

is to assume that I've been searching in the wrong location.

So today, I'm going a little bit downriver

by about, you know, 40 meters or so.

And I'm searching a new grid, a new search location.

I know I'm close.

All right. This one's my next target. The big one over here.

This is very similar to the picture that we've seen, the icon.

Yeah, I got it.

I can see it in there, but it's deep.

I'm a bit anxious at this point because I see it,

I know it's in there, but I can't get my hands on it.

I cannot fit up and into that gap.

Dan might have to get this one for me.

Jeff could run over and potentially grab this thing.

[Whistles]

Ugh.

I put out a 50%-volume whistle,

and luckily Dan heard me.

Hey, Dan, I need you to grab this.

I don't think I can fit in this hole, buddy.

I'll get in the hole.

If you go up under there, you can see the burlap.

Something's wrapped up in that.

[Dan grunts]

I'm waist-deep into this hole under this giant Boulder. A little sketchy.

But I'm able to grab it.

- I got it. - You got it?

[Jeff] Good job, buddy!

- [Bleep] Yeah. - [Dan grunts]

I don't think anyone but me could fit in here.

[Waz] Well, I'm glad you're here, man.

[Cheers]

- Good job. - Thank you, man,

[whistles]

Right there? It was right there?

- Under this big one. - [Jeff] Oh, man.

Of course he did.

I could cry right now.

[Waz] That's a knife.

This is exactly where I was searching the whole time.

[Waz] I know Jeff spent a lot of hours out here, looking for this thing,

so it's a pretty good feeling.

That's that 3D chess that I'm talking about.

He walks away from that,

even if it's just a seed planted in the back of his head-

"hang on a minute. This guy told me all the information.

I've already been down here. I know this land inside and out.

And now this guy finds it. Maybe I'm not as good as I think I am."

Do you guys don't have a knife?

I got a knife yesterday. You guys don't have one. Take it.

- Are you sure? - [Waz] Yeah. What do I need two knives for, bro?

[Dan] Thank you.

Waz already has a knife, so he gives it back, which is great.

Now Cheeny and I have two knives between us.

Any new, sharp, little thing like that out here is really nice.

Well, cool how that works out.

We gave you the knife yesterday, you gave us the hooks.

- Yeah. - [Jeff] Dan got this knife today

- because all that happened. - [Waz] Yeah.

Yep.

Everything works out the way it's meant to, buddy.

[Jeff] Yes, I didn't find the item,

and honestly, if I would have gotten another knife,

the target on my back would have just gotten bigger

because I'd be trying to trade that thing.

- [Waz] Another successful morning, Dan. - [Dan] Yeah.

- [Waz] I'm not mad about it. - [Dan] Knocking them out.

[Matt] Keep myself from being seen as much.

Rubbing some nice charcoal on the thigh, all over.

Trying to give myself as many shadows as possible.

It's gonna help.

So, yesterday, I went out and hunted a little bit.

I did get a shot, and I missed the impala.

Naked guy with no camo.

Problem solved.

But you can never give up. You gotta keep on it. I need food.

All right. Let's get on the hunt.

- [Wes] Hey, Dan. Let's go fishing. - [Dan] Yeah, let's do it.

[Wes] I know there's a big pond out there,

and hopefully fish, like some bass.

It's worth checking out.

I've been going after the second porcupine cache.

Having zero success.

I'm getting slow. I don't wanna go this way much longer

'cause I know I'll go downhill quick.

And I could really use some food,

so Dan and I are going fishing.

[Dan] Someone was just here.

Some barefoot person.

[Whispers] Got a herd impala right up here.

Wind is coming at me, about a stiff 10 miles an hour.

I'm camo'd up. I'm downwind.

I'm gonna try to belly crawl. See if I can get within range.

Come on.

It's happening. Let's get savage. Let's get savage.

[Dan] Whoo!

[Matt softly] I've got two impala in front of me.

[Whispers]

- Something? - Take it, take it, take it!

[Dan] Yes. Whoo!

[Matt groans] [Bleep]

Goddamnit.

Look at that!

- [Dan laughs] - [Matt groans] [Bleep]

[Wes] Oh, yeah. We're getting the fishing done now.

- [Dan] Yeah! - [Wes] Look at that little guy.

- [Wes and Dan whooping] - Hard to get my savagery hunting

[whispers] When there's so many other people messing it up.

[Wes] Nice one.

[Wes and Dan whooping]

[Matt] Oh. [Groans] [Bleep]

[Dan] Look at that! [Laughs]

[Matt softly] Oh, goddamnit.

I've been silently stalking through the brush,

hoping not to be heard, not to be smelled.

[Wes speaking]

And as I'm doing that, stealthy as I could possibly be,

two of the survivalists out there, they came in talking loud.

Is hunting the most difficult thing on Naked and Afraid?

Without a doubt.

Is hunting with nine other people independently going where they wish?

Yeah. It may be one of the hardest things on the planet.

But you know what? I've never given up. I don't plan to give up.

And that's how it works.

[Birds chirping]

[Zebras barking]

I don't often get the map

because Jeff's too selfish to do anything for anyone else but himself.

And so I took my chances and went without a map, and it feels really good.

I've been pushing myself very, very hard,

trying to find all these items, and I'm exhausted.

[Stacey] I found one of the items.

- [Jeff] By the porcupine? - Yep.

I'm surprised, shocked but not at all unhappy about it.

I feel like it's Christmas.

[Stacey] I know. That's how I felt, too.

[Jeff] Look at this. Hell, yeah.

- Yeah. It's gonna be nice. - Great job.

[Stacey] I feel empowered. I feel...

I feel better when I'm given the opportunity to work alone.

And that is my saw, and I can do with it what I want.

I can share it, or I don't have to.

It's mine.

[Jeff] Wow. Like butter.

This is a huge advantage, especially if we have to build any type of large construction

later in the challenge.

- This is so awesome. - Thank you.

[Jeff] This was a huge score.

Do you think it's gonna rain tonight?

I don't know.

[Stacey] Considering there's been just so much rain

and so much inclement weather, we should probably build some sort of shelter.

I'm feeling kind of shot this morning, so I need to take a few.

- I'll get up and get firewood. - Cool.

[Stacey] Jeff's always go, go, go.

I think he's burnt a lot of energy looking for stuff. I don't know.

Our fates being intertwined. We'll see how that goes.

We got this bass today.

And this guy.

- Bam, bam, bam. - [Cheeny] Gonna have a good supper tonight.

- Tilapia out of a murky pond. - [Dan] Little appetizer of the night.

- Mmm-mmm. - [Dan] Wow.

Bon appetit.

[Dan] Mmm.

Let's take a look at one of these pieces of fish here.

Pieces of them falling off.

Mmm. Oh, that's good.

I'm quite excited that I finally caught a fish.

Oh, yeah.

My body is sucking up this protein.

I can feel it. I can feel energy return.

It's exactly what I needed

because this whole being alone thing-it's tough.

Fish tastes delightful.

[Matt] It's interesting surviving with all these people.

They're all kind of out for themselves,

and I consider each person pretty much their own tribe at this point

because each person is looking out for themselves.

And it's showing more and more every day.

[Wes] I think this fish was a solid pound.

Which means probably half a pound of meat.

That's a nice-sized tilapia.

And it tastes great.

- [Cheeny] Mmm-mmm. - [Dan] Mmm-hmm.

[Dan] Mmm. Yum. These fish are delicious.

- Yeah. - Mmm.

[Both laugh]

[Laughter continues]

[Matt] It's interesting that they were out fishing

the same hunting hole that I have to hunt,

so I have to work in between and around and try to, like, not get screwed up by them.

I would have assumed at this point, as they all assumed,

that if I kill, like, an impala,

that we're just splitting it up evenly.

But yet I have not seen a piece of fish.

Just a little bite would have been a nice gesture at this point.

[Sighs] It's frustrating.

[Jeff exhales]

[Whispers]

[Stacey and Jeff speaking]

[Stacey] Yeah.

[Thunder rumbles]

[Dan] Oh, my God.

The storm is here.

I'm so happy we have this hide.

Game-changer. Ooh!

[Stacey] Oh, my God.

[Jeff] Oh, really?

[Stacey speaking]

Oh, no!

Jesus Christ. This really sucks. [Sighs]

[Stacey sighs]

Jeff got up early this morning to go fishing.

I was planning on going with him,

but there was an incident in the night in which he woke me up.

I needed some extra rest, so I stayed back and slept.

I am really exhausted.

Nights are not that great.

It's extremely uncomfortable and very hard to deal with.

[Birds chirping]

[Animals calling]

[Wes] We gonna go find these porcupine things this morning?

[Dan] Yeah.

- All right. Let's go. - All right.

Dan and I, we've tracked porcupines for three days now,

and we haven't come across anything.

We're both exhausted, and we're both frustrated.

But I deal with it by just keeping going.

I plug away.

[Dan] There's only a couple trails over here that we haven't been on.

Walking these might leads us to some kind of clue

or might run us into a trail that started back there

that we could find the beginning of. What do you think?

Yeah, I'm with you.

Mmm-mmm.

Is this our intersection?

[Narrator] There were four survival caches hidden within this dense environment.

With three caches found, one remains.

[Wes] Our cache was up there.

I don't think we're gonna have to...

- [Dan] Look too far? - [Wes] Yeah.

[Dan] Awesome.

Somewhere in here is where Cheeny and I staked something out.

Found one.

I'm so excited because where there's quills,

then we know that close by is a cache.

All these items are stashed in the ground

- just like a porcupine would be hiding in a burrow. - Yeah.

Dan and I start looking, searching everywhere.

They're typically ground caches.

[Dan] Makes sense.

It looks like the perfect area.

It really has the setup of being where the cache is.

Oh, maybe in the trees.

[Dan] I'm gonna get bit by something.

[Dan] No. Nothing in there.

[Wes] No, nothing here, either.

[Dan] It's gotta be here, it's gotta be.

[Wes] Absolutely has to be.

Got it!

- [Wes] Sweet! - Yes!

And then he pops up with it.

- Oh, my God. - [Laughs]

- Nice teamwork again. - We did it.

- Oh. - Let's look what we have.

- Oh, my God. - I knew one day around here we'd find something.

- Oh, she pretty. - Oh, look at that bad man with a hammer.

She pretty.

I spent a lot of calories looking for the axe.

A lot of them.

But now that we have it, it's probably gonna save calories on the back end

because it's a whole lot easier to chop down stuff with an axe

than with a machete.

- Whoo! - Good job, bro.

- Yeah! - [Bleep]

[Laughs]

- Third time's the charm. - Uh-huh.

[Wes] Good stuff.

[Dan] Finding that one cache, it brings a whole new element in.

You know? Do you share that item? How do you share it?

Are you just giving it to people, or that kind of thing?

Oof.

- You know what? Just keep this axe. - Dang. That's awesome.

- Cool. - Ah. Success!

Sure, I'm gonna do what I can to win.

But I'm not out here trying to make life harder for anyone

'cause I'm a group of two, Cheeny and I, and Matt and Wes are solo.

I want the winner of this challenge to be the best.

I don't want the winner of this challenge

to be someone who just, you know, put everyone else down.

- Good eyes, Dan. Good eyes. - [Dan chuckles]

[Jeff softly] I'm down here fishing right now,

and...

there's about seven impala.

And this makes me remember back a few days ago

to where Matt would not trade me the bow for the survival knives

that he needed.

It was the right survival move for both of us and he sabotaged that

because of his own vain ambitions

and his feelings towards me.

If I had that bow right now,

I would be able to harvest this impala for the entire group.

[Matt] Heading out to hunt this morning.

It's a little bit rainy, still.

It's all right. Kind of knocks down the human scent.

Have I been lucky as a hunter?

The best way to be successful is to continue to hunt

by putting myself out there.

That puts me at the advantage.

Here's to success today.

[Blows]

[Gary] I'm hungry. Let's see if I can find something to eat.

That's the plan today-eat, eat.

Let's go.

I woke up energized, and I'm inspired to go hunt.

I'm going out with the intention to get a kill.

We gotta get our bodies full of nutrients so we can make it to 45 days.

[Matt] To hunt today, I'm going out a little bit of a higher trail

up through the brush and see if there's a good ambush point.

You know, wind today, it's cranking. It's about 10, 15 mile-an-hour wind.

And, you know, for me, that works out a pretty good advantage,

as I could get there, and my scent is being blown in a straight trail away.

So today is a good day to hunt.

What I'm trying to do here is stalk into the position

that those animals might be moving.

So belly crawling, playing the wind to kind of sneak up on game.

[Gary whispers] I heard a female impala up there.

They're right up there.

I need to go up higher,

where they come out.

[Matt whispers]

All right. So we got impala in front of me.

Try to sneak up on them.

The wind is good. It's a little bit of a breeze, but it's not too stiff.

[Gary] Impala right there.

A whole herd of male impala.

Rams. Like, 15 rams all together.

[Matt clicking tongue]

[Matt whispering]

The impala are just chilling and eating

and, uh, because of that,

they're not moving very fast,

they're not going anywhere.

Just ran out of my reach and they know it. [Exhales]

[Matt snorting]

[Matt whispering]

I'm mentally, you know, preparing for the shot.

I see it in my eye.

I see it in my mind.

I know what's gonna happen.

[Matt clicking tongue]

[Suspenseful music]

[Matt whispering]

[Matt clicking tongue]

[Suspenseful music]

[Matt whispering]

What the hell?

I look up and I glance at Gary Golding

up on the mountainside.

[Matt whispering] Gary, dang it.

Gary starts walking down.

His smell comes up.

That one scent

can take the whole meadow-full of animals

and make it disappear.

You know, the gig is over.

I am frustrated. I am angry.

[Matt exhales]

All these animals down here know where I'm at now.

[Jeff] Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes, baby! Yes!

This is what I live for.

This is what I live for right now! Yes!

Last one standing,

here we come.

[Snake hisses]

[Stacey] I'm super focused on the shelter roof

because it was raining last night

and I'm thinking it's gonna be raining again tonight.

We've got lots of palms,

some shelter covering.

I'm trying to take the reins

and take control in my own fate

in this competition.

How's it going?

[Waz] Pretty good.

- You doing okay? - Yeah.

Do you mind if I stand in the shade with you for a minute?

[Waz] No, go for it. Like, big picture,

- you feeling all right? No? - [Stacey] No.

[Stacey sighs]

[Stacey] I am really exhausted

and it's ridiculous

and we still don't have a shelter.

He just doesn't care. [Laughs]

- Yeah. - He's an interesting cat.

[Waz] He is. He is.

But his...

Right. Yeah.

Like, total lack of accountability.

Watching how he has been with some other people,

and some of the backstabbing that I've witnessed,

it's hard to put up with it.

- God. - [Waz groans]

Why doesn't he just, like, be honest, then?

[Stacey] Um...

[Waz] I know it's probably too late for him now. He's...

He really, really wants to win this thing.

- Yeah, that's clear. - Yeah.

He's gonna need to stop playing, uh, checkers, then,

- maybe start planting some fruit, eh, chef? - Yeah.

[Stacey laughing]

Tried not to make it about Jeff,

or talk too much about Jeff, but it did come up, you know,

'cause it does get harder

the longer I'm with Jeff.

- Thanks, Waz. See you later. - [Waz] All right.

Good luck.

It's hard to see someone

going through something tough like that.

She's not enjoying her time with Jeff at all.

But Stacey's got a lot of power in their relationship

just because she could tap at any time.

You know, it's not out of the realms of possibility.

[Gary] What's up?

[Waz] What's up, buddy?

[Gary] Hey.

[Waz] I grabbed Stacey and I,

I looked at her and said, "hey, how you doing?"

And she goes, "yeah, I'm good. How are you?"

I'm like, "no, Stacey, how you doing?"

And, um, you could see the,

the wash of emotion over her face pretty quickly.

[Waz speaking]

[Gary speaking]

[Waz speaking]

[Gary] Yeah. "I'm done."

Anywhere between now and 20.

[Waz] But she has to say the words,

- "I'm choosing to leave." - [Gary] Yeah.

[Waz speaking]

I don't know how...

- [Gary] Oh, yeah. - [Waz speaking]

[Gary] Yeah. Yeah.

[Waz speaking]

There is a strategy there.

The rules of the game,

if you choose to leave,

you're taking your partner with you.

Uh, that would be very,

very interesting.

[Waz] Do you think there's any benefit to

opening up to her a little bit

about what every single person here

thinks of Jeff and how he's doing this

- and seeing... - Absolutely.

I like your idea, though.

So, you know, I kinda wanna

just touch base with her.

[Matt] I'm gonna have to do something.

I haven't eaten anything.

This is a 45-day-long challenge.

My biggest concern now is gonna be,

you know, staying healthy,

like, figuring out enough,

enough food as we're moving across

from place to place

to keep us healthy.

And it's concerning.

Right now, we're heading over to the little pond

to kinda scout it.

And then, also, while I'm scouting it for game,

I'm also gonna see if there's any fish to be had.

- [Leaves rustling] - [Matt] Hear that?

There's a snake. Snake right there.

Snake. It's up in the tree.

It's kind of up on this branch right there.

It's about 15 feet up this tree.

It's two snakes.

They're mating in the tree.

As I'm looking, I realize it's two snakes,

two snakes intertwined,

kinda going up the tree together.

And I'm thinking, "here's some meat, here's some food."

Oh, [bleep], those are actually...

Those are actually vine snakes.

A vine snake is a super deadly snake.

There is actually no anti-venom in the world for these snakes.

[Narrator] The vine snake's hemotoxic venom

attacks red blood cells, preventing clotting,

and can cause organ failure

in the liver, lungs and heart.

Also, this is a highly poisonous tree.

This euphorbia tree has sap that literally

will burn your skin like acid.

They, right now, are in

the safest place they can put themselves.

Wouldn't be Africa if it wasn't dangerous as hell, I guess.

I have to try to figure out a plan to get 'em down.

What I'm thinking is

I need someone who handled venomous snakes before.

I know Steven's been pretty good with some venomous snakes.

He's quick. He's fast.

So I'm gonna go grab Steven real quick

and see if we can't both take on

a snake that there's no anti-venom for.

I don't wanna get, uh,

every survivalist all amped up.

You know, I've fed people on every challenge I've been on

and I will give my last bite of food to somebody.

But now it's each person for themselves.

So, at this point,

I don't wanna divvy this up and share it among everybody.

How about, uh, how about we do a trade?

Yeah. What do you want?

- How about I help you carry your firewood... - Okay.

and you go help me get two highly venomous snakes?

Really? Are you threatening me with a good time?

- [Matt] Yes, I am. [Laughing] - Oh, my God, let's go!

[Exhales] Where they at?

This euphorbia tree right here,

- next to this closest one. - [Steven] Yeah. Mmm-hmm.

It's basically, we have two of the most dangerous,

like, organisms on the planet

intertwined together

and we have to problem-solve away,

uh, to get food on the table.

This is the one they say, if you get bit,

the best treatment is to walk over to a nice big tree,

- sit your back against it... - And die.

- [Chuckling] ...And wait to die. - All right.

- [Matt] So, obviously... - [Waz] I heard all the commotion.

- What's going on? - You got excited.

- [Chuckles] What's up? - How's it going?

We're assessing a situation.

Out of thin air

comes Dan, Waz and Cheeny.

And at this point, they're goofing up my hunt.

We're gonna attempt to knock it out

and kill one or two of 'em.

[Waz] If they fall out and hit the ground,

just start whacking 'em straight away.

- Let's... - [Matt] Yeah.

Looking for the right spot that doesn't have

branches in front of it. That's the tricky part.

They're camoed good. Like, when they're not moving,

- it's just some, you know... - [Dan] Yeah, you wouldn't even know.

[Matt] ...Swirly, curly branch up there.

[Steven] There's so much brush in the way.

[Matt] It's gonna be hard to hit 'cause it's still, like,

- it's a straight-up shot in a poison tree. - [Steven] Yeah.

'Cause I know, if we throw rocks at it,

I can just see it going up higher.

[Steven] A beast's natural defense mechanism...

Oh, yeah, he's done.

Hey, you guys get scared? What's happening?

- [Waz] They're separating. - [Matt] Uh-oh.

[Steven] I can see one of their heads over here.

Got an angle. See it?

[Matt] Oh, yeah.

Let's see how... Oh, it just moved.

Not very thick.

[Waz] You could chop them both in half

- if you get that bottom bit. - [Matt exhales]

[Man exclaims]

[Waz] Yeah, one's coming down.

[Matt] I shoot and wham!

I nailed a snake, first shot.

Its whole body goes limp.

At this point, it requires just a little nudge

to knock to the ground.

[Steven exhales] I got this.

- [Matt] Oh, good hit. Good hit. - [Dan] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Get it.

- Got him. - Yeah!

Boys, one.

[Both cheering]

- Yeah! - [Matt] Nice!

Steven delivers a perfect throw,

knocks the snake out of the tree,

I pin it down,

Steven comes over, cuts the head off.

Deadly encounter neutralized.

- Yeah, you guys going to the river now? - [Waz] Yeah.

- Sounds good. We'll see you there in a bit. - [Dan] All right.

[Matt] Dan, Waz and Cheeny

just kinda clap and say, "good job,"

and, uh, continued on with their day.

[Birds chirping]

[Gary] Breaking off, Stacey?

[Stacey] Yep. Going back to the boma for some water.

[Gary] I'm outta here too.

- [Stacey] Wanna walk back with me? - [Gary] Yeah.

How are you?

[Stacey] There's elements that have been...

- [Gary] Miserable? - [Stacey] Challenging, yes.

[Gary] Yeah, I've been avoiding saying too much.

You know the perspective of everyone here, right?

Yeah. Yeah. I do.

You know, I don't blame anyone

for not trusting him totally. Um...

- And he's... - not just totally,

we, we... [chuckling] We barely...

[Laughing] We don't even trust him at all.

Did you hear how,

when he found the stuff in the woods, he said,

"I'm finding all your guys' [bleep]."

- Uh-huh. - Did you hear about that?

- I was... yeah. I was there. - Did he really say that?

[Jeff laughing]

[Jeff shouts] We're finding all your [bleep]!

[Wes] Oh, Jesus.

This is what I live for!

I love Jeff and,

you know, and stuff,

but here's the deal.

Me and Waz, we're talking. All of us have been.

And we're like, "hey, Stacey,

- tap whenever you want." - Oh.

- [Gary] It's how we all feel. - [Stacey] It'd tap him out.

[Gary] 'Cause he's been ripping you off and all of us off.

Now there's a strategy.

Imagine what I would do for the game.

Let Stacey off the hook

and got rid of Jeff.

Now that's how you play the game.

He might have hard feelings for a little bit,

but it's like, you know,

"you were playing the game your way,

why you mad when I played it mine?"

Yep.

[Gary] I don't treat people wrong.

I love Jeff,

but he's playing the game wrong.

He can't really be mad at anyone

'cause he invites everything, right?

[Stacey] Yeah, he loves it.

This is what he lives for.

-[Gary laughing] -[Stacey] So let's give it to him.

That's something I really have to think about

over the next, uh, couple of days.

Basically, I would have to give up my spot

to take him out,

and am I willing to do that?

I don't really know. I'm, like, stuck in a really weird,

psychological mind [bleep] right now.

Something I've never experienced.

[Narrator] For this competition,

survivalists will be evaluated each week

on a modified scale.

PSR, or primitive survival rating,

weighs an individual's survival skills

and items collected

to determine the likelihood

of becoming the last one standing.

[Waz] I'm the best survivalist out here.

[Narrator] Determined to find caches,

Waz navigated his way

to three of the advanced survival items.

[Waz] He's playing checkers and I'm playing 3D chess.

[Narrator] He also devised a plan

to take out one of his fiercest competitors.

As a result,

his PSR rises from 9.0 to 9.2.

[Stacey] Maybe we should put up some sort of shelter.

[Jeff] We don't need it.

[Narrator] After struggling with her partner, Jeff...

About time. Jeff wasn't here to find everything.

[Narrator] ...Stacey found independence

by securing one of the advanced survival items.

[Gary] He's been ripping you off and all of us off.

So, Stacey, don't hang in there for him.

- [Stacey] It'd tap him out. - [Gary] There's a strategy.

[Narrator] With her newfound strength,

she now considers taking Jeff

out of the competition.

This raises her PSR

from 8.0 to 8.2.

- [Steve] It's, like, four hooks. - Steven just found something.

[Narrator] Jeff was outplayed...

- [Steven] There you go. - Good job.

I know I'm close.

[Narrator] ...And failed to obtain any new items...

[Jeff] What is happening?

[Narrator] ...And now faces the risk of elimination.

His PSR drops from 9.4 to 9.2.

To see all of the survivalists' PSR ratings,

head over to discovery.Com/PSR.

[Birds chirping]

Yeah. That's awesome.

[Matt] That was fantastic.

That's why I knew you were the man to help me out on that.

Yeah. It wouldn't be right if I ate this snake by myself.

You know, it's one of the... We were trying to be sneaky about it

because we don't want them part of it,

and they didn't... It's not like they signed up

- for taking us on... - [Steven] Yeah.

- They just showed up. - [Steven] Exactly. Exactly.

And because of that, it was, I was sitting there, I'm like, "God dang it."

I was like, I wanted to tell 'em,

you know, "hey," you know, "I need you guys to leave,"

but at the same time, I was like...

- I was like, "well," you know... - [Steven] Yeah.

"they're here." It, uh...

And I was about to tell 'em, "hey," you know, "back off."

Let me show you a little trick I learned to cook it.

Inside of a snake is fat

lining the, uh, intestines.

So I use those on the pot lid

and then cut the meat into little chunks.

What we're gonna have going here is some of this fried fat.

[Steven] And then, like, sauteing some...

- [Matt] And you can hear it right now. - [Steven] Yeah.

It sounds beautiful.

It looks amazing.

[Matt] Then

drop these guys around it.

[Steven] Nice.

Ah! And kinda contain the fat.

- [Matt chuckling] - [Steven] Mmm-hmm.

It's got enough fat to pretty much

cook about everything that's in here.

[Steven] Yeah. Starting to smell it.

Almost smells like pork chop.

[Matt] Pork. I was gonna say that.

- Pork chop. 100%. - [Steven] Yeah.

Pork chop that'll kill you.

[Matt] Steven and I work great together,

but when it comes down to it,

this is a competition and, uh,

I cannot vision any other way

but being the last one standing.

That's a focus I intend to have the entire time.

All right, I'm about to treat you to something magical.

[Steve] About to blow my mind.

Oh, my goodness.

So, you got a fat-fried,

fat-fried vine snake cooked...

- [Steven] In its own fat. - Uh-huh.

[Steven] Mmm.

- Right? - Oh, my gosh.

[Both chuckling]

Dude, the fat changes everything.

It makes a whole new level.

Changes everything.

- Oh, my God. - Now it's close to a,

to like a chicken wing.

It's exactly like... That's exactly what it is.

Wow.

Mmm. That is the best thing I've ever had in my life.

Hands-freakin'-down, dude.

- I'm glad to be sharing it with you, buddy. - Yeah. Me too.

[Stacey] I need to drink some water

'cause I'm dehydrated.

Jeff, will you give me that water?

Jeff?

[Jeff snoring]

[Stacey] Jeff, are you asleep?

[Jeff snoring]

[Stacey] Oh, God.

[Jeff snoring]

[Stacey] Middle of the night.

[Jeff snoring]

[Stacey] It's cold. I can't sleep.

[Jeff snoring]

[Stacey] I can't get comfortable. I'm freezing.

[Jeff snoring]

[Stacey] It's just not working out...

[Jeff snoring]

[Stacey] ...And I'm not really sure what to do.

[Jeff snoring]

[Birds chirping]

[Stacey exhales]

Over the last couple of days,

I've seen certain things with Jeff's behavior

that have led me to believe

that he's an egomaniacal narcissist.

[Jeff] Nice haul, Stace.

[Stacey exhales]

[Stacey] Last night was awful.

All I could think about was that I have this power

that, at any time in these 21 days,

I could tap out and Jeff would have to leave too.

Um, we need to have

some sitting and chatting real quick.

[Jeff] Okay.

And so, he's kind of vulnerable to me right now.

So, to be completely frank,

I'm, like, this close to tapping this morning.

No way!

I had no idea.

[Stacey] I'm feeling like you

are holding control over this entire situation

and it's really, it's very upsetting to me.

[Jeff] Okay.

And so, that was why I kind of, like,

came to, um, a precipice

while I was not sleeping last night

that, "[Bleep] This dude. I'm out of here. I'm leaving."

Wow.

This is a big "wow" moment.

No one's ever said those words to me before.

That's like you laying in bed with your significant other

and them telling you,

"I almost slit your throat last night."

[Stacey] I will take us both out.
