Original subtitles

[Cheeny] This is different.

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

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

but for the other survivalists.

[Gary] Run!

[shouting]

[narrator] For the first time ever,

Twelve of Naked and Afraid's most skilled survivalists

are competing head-to-head

for 45 days in the South African bush...

-Whoo! [laughs] -[man laughs]

[narrator] ...to crown the best of the best...

Yeah!

[narrator] ...and win $100,000.

This is what I live for!

[narrator] Failure means elimination.

[Gary] This challenge is so real.

[narrator] Who will be

the last one standing?

Previously on Last One Standing...

-[Steven cheering] -[all laughing]

[narrator] ...the survivalists were split into two camps

and new dynamics were created.

[bleep]

Cheeny's face says it all.

Cut his nuts off.

[narrator] Matt found the meat cache...

[laughs exultantly]

Ain't no animal get away from me yet.

[narrator] ...leaving Jeff hungry once again.

-[roaring] Whoo! -[laughs]

Basically they're trying to starve me out.

-The Savage kitchen is open for business. -[howls]

[Gary laughs]

They're all eating impala meat together.

[narrator] The division between Jeff and the others

led to a breaking point.

Don't call any one of us a bully

because we're holding you to your own [bleep] law,

as you established, right here.

You said, [bleep] drawn in the sand,

"Competition every day.

Don't bitch about [bleep] losing."

[Jeff] I'm more than under their skin.

I'm in their souls.

It's a psychological, mental game right now

that they're losing.

[grunting]

[Sarah] This is gonna make a really awkward night for us.

[Dan speaking]

We just had a huge blowout in the shelter.

Um, God, it breaks my heart to see everybody so torn up.

It's hard to watch.

I'm just, like...

in shock, I guess.

Survival is 90% mental.

And it's so easy to get into a funk

'cause, man, when you fall into a deep enough pit,

you feel like you can't get out of it.

And I'm not in a good headspace.

I... My heart is not in this.

At all.

You guys all right?

[Jeff laughing]

-[Gary] What's happening? -[laughing]

[Gary] What did I walk into?

[Jeff] Bro, I don't know where you were,

[laughing] but you were in the right place, my friend.

Everyone came over here.

And they just had a, uh,

"Jeff intervention,"

where they all took their rounds around the campfire,

telling me why they all think I'm a piece of [bleep].

It was quite the show.

This behavior is crazy.

This is a competition.

You can't get mad at somebody

for putting points on a scoreboard in a competition.

I guess if you don't play exactly the way that they want,

then they're mad at you, you know?

I don't know that they're...

going about getting what they want the best way, you know, in the long run.

The boys have a harsher opinion towards Jeff than I think I do.

That's their prerogative.

But they can't expect everybody to see it all exactly the same, you know?

They might be sitting in a place of privilege

'cause they don't have to sit in the same shelter with him and,

I get to sleep on one of his hides,

you know, you wanna be thankful to a degree.

[Cheeny] My mind is back in Maine right now.

I'm in a shelter with Jeff for the next week

and, um, that's gonna be pretty awkward

but honestly, that's not...

the nail in my coffin for this.

Well, I guess this says, things progressed,

and the amount of food that I've eaten. My tank is on empty.

I mean, I had already passed out once.

[Dan] Hey, Cheeny.

Hey, Cheeny?

[Cheeny] I really don't want that to happen again.

But... I miss my family a lot too

and I've been thinking the last couple of days about going home.

So, after what happened this morning,

I think it just kinda made things clearer for me.

That I should be home.

What's going on?

Sorry to interrupt... No, come on in.

[Cheeny] ...but I just don't want to do this anymore.

I'm going home.

[Gary] That's a bummer.

You seemed a little discontent lately.

But it was a pleasure to have you around.

-[Cheeny] Same. It's great to see... -Yeah.

-[Cheeny] ...you in action, Gary. -Thank you.

Most people don't understand the toll that this challenge

takes on you mentally unless you've lived it.

You have to understand where your mind has to be.

You just want out sometimes, you know? You just want out.

-See you later, Cheeny. -[Jeff] Take care, Cheeny.

Will do.

-Love you. -Love you too.

[Dan] Cheeny and I clicked right away.

And not just because we had to, like,

rub our naked bodies against each other for warmth almost immediately.

[laughs]

We're very similar people.

We have very similar attitudes towards life and survival and...

she is funny as hell,

and we allowed each other to be weird around each other. I love that.

[Sarah] It was so wonderful to get to know you.

[Cheeny] You too.

So happy I got to spend the first 21 days with her.

Beyond grateful for that.

-Good luck with the rest of it. -Yeah.

[Cheeny] My last challenges, I was an inspiration to people and to other women and...

that makes tapping harder.

Really does.

But...

I just feel like my time here is...

done.

Well, made it to day 25 in South Africa

and, uh, you know, I'm not the last one standing

but, I'm okay with that, you know?

It's been a hard 25 days.

It's a lot physically, it's a lot mentally.

It's a lot emotionally.

But it's also not fun to be...

untrue to yourself and to lie to yourself every day,

and try to pretend like you're happy where you're at when you're not.

And then there were seven.

Uh, Cheeny just...

told Gary and I that she's out,

and she's heading home.

I don't think it's any accident

that this comes mere minutes after the little...

"Bully Jeff" intervention.

And I've been saying for the last couple weeks,

this negativity from the other group,

it's gonna start to affect them.

And... And it is!

Literally, their arrows...

are bouncing right off of me.

And today, they hit Cheeny.

I believe karma is biting

this other group.

And, you know what, if some bad karma

were to take some of my competitors out,

well, so be it.

[Matt] This is the first elimination challenge.

Somebody's going home today.

[Waz] It's $100,000 on the table.

Someone's about to go home.

I don't want to be the first one to go home.

[Matt] We get off on this challenge and the pace is fast.

Foot racing it to the extreme.

[grunts in pain]

I got a cramp. I got a cramp.

I have a pain in my calf.

It is bad.

Oh, [bleep] leg.

[grunts softly]

But you offer me $100,000, I'm not gonna give up.

It's amidst the battle right now. I'm in the war.

But I'm probably gonna be the first one to get eliminated.

[exhales]

[grunting softly]

[bleep]

-It's a big day today. Yeah. -[Steven] Yeah, of emotions.

[Steven sighs]

Having Cheeny leave...

isn't necessarily a bad thing.

This is a competition challenge.

You know, onto one step closer

to being the last one standing.

Uh, you almost feel bad for being...

happy or okay with it, Day 28's coming up.

So, we know there's either a challenge

or something we gotta prepare for or so...

-[Dan] This will give firewood a break for once. -Yeah.

We don't know what to expect.

Uh, might be a challenge, might be elimination.

We have no idea.

[Waz] What does it say about day 28? Meet here...

[Dan] Just make your way here on day 28.

[Waz] Oh, that's it?

[narrator] On day 28, the survivalists will not be migrating.

Instead, they must meet at the 'X' shown on their maps,

where they'll receive instructions for the challenge ahead.

[Dan] It does say on the top, it's a little ominous, that,

"Here you will live in one of two camps...

but you alone will control your destiny."

[Matt] Lot of things on each challenges to worry about.

-I don't want food to be one of 'em. -Yeah.

Every time I've gone down there,

I've said I'm gonna go look for that fishing asset.

-[Dan] Yeah. -Well, today I'm gonna go get it.

About damn time.

You know, I'm not here to [bleep] spiders. Let's go get this.

-Yes. That's what I was waiting for. -[Dan] Yeah.

[narrator] Four days into zone four

and the competitors have found all of the advanced survival tools

with the exception of the fishing asset.

Despite the map stating to plunge the depths of the river,

Waz has failed to locate it for the past four days.

[Waz] It's gotta be that sandbank.

[Dan] Think that sandbank right there?

[Waz] It has to be that... that bit, yeah.

Where the symbol on the map is out there,

I've searched that place inside and out.

I've done grid searches both ways.

Dan's been in there as well.

Matt's been in there as well.

Steven's been in there as well.

We just haven't found it.

It makes me start thinking about it maybe plunge

and the depths might not necessarily mean diving into the water and...

and going down the bottom,

but maybe plunging my hand into that sandbank on the... on the far side.

And maybe somewhere up around the shallows up there.

Waz is one of the most stubborn people I have ever met in my life.

He will not fail at something. He will not quit.

And, uh, it's the same with this fishing cache.

Like, regardless if it makes

survival sense for us to keep going and trying to find it again and again and again,

based on the calories, the cold, all of that,

he's too stubborn to quit at it.

Well, Sarah, congratulations on being the last woman.

Yeah, I wish it was under better circumstances.

Yeah, I know. Me too. It... It never is though.

-You know? -[Gary] Yeah, never easy.

There's never... There's never happy endings when a challenge ends for someone.

[Sarah] Cheeny's taken off.

For me it means that, uh,

I'm the last female in the challenge.

And that's...

unfortunate because, uh,

I'm just surrounded by a lot of macho energy.

Not entirely thrilled about that aspect of it.

But I'm out here to win the game

so, uh, you know, I'll make do with what I got.

It's what I always do.

-Lot of testosterone in the room right now. -[laughs]

-We'll try to be sensitive to that. -[laughs]

[Steven] Anything?

No, nothing.

[Dan] We've been working on getting this fishing cache

a long time.

So many man hours have been put into this.

But Waz has had an idea that maybe it's somewhere in the sand.

Hopefully we'll find something so we can put this to rest.

Holy [bleep], Waz.

-[laughs] -[Waz speaking]

I just went under water doing this again

like I did 60,000 times.

[Waz] You've been... Everyone's been here 100 times.

[Dan] What?

-Ooh, it's so big. -Come on, let me give you a hug, bro.

[laughing]

I... I couldn't think of a better additional item

to have at this point to be honest.

[Steven cheering in distance]

-Yeah! -Whoo!

That last fishing cache, we got it.

And... And that is an amazing blessing today.

Persistence is everything. Patience is everything.

In... In survival, in life.

Um, and you just don't quit.

You do not quit and...

That's what happens when you don't quit.

You succeed.

You can use this as a seine net,

you can use this as a gillnet, you can use this in a bunch of different ways.

Fish for dinner.

[Gary] It's bright and early in the morning again.

Day 26.

So, uh...

two more sleeps and our world changes again.

Because day 28, we meet at this 'X'.

We don't know what's in store.

We don't know what we're gonna hear,

we don't know what we're gonna learn.

But, uh...

we're gonna find out in a couple days. Day after tomorrow.

So, uh, I'm off to hunt. We need to eat.

I gotta get me an impala.

This is where they're at.

When it comes to the hunting strategies,

we leave that a lot to Matt.

You know, I might go off independently.

If I'm lucky maybe I'll get a kill.

It's worth a try.

All right. This Savage is gonna hunt something.

At this point, I'm up early.

I'm up on top of the mountain.

Above all the animals.

Now, gonna sneak up.

Do what I do best.

Without a doubt,

getting larger food

is the hardest thing to do on a Naked and Afraid challenge.

But for this competition,

I have to eat good.

So, it is very paramount that I capitalize on at least one bigger game animal.

But here...

you can hardly learn the area before we have to leave again.

Makes it a lot harder to get one.

It frustrates the hell out of me but

on hunts like this you gotta keep trying.

I just saw a herd of impala right now.

[quietly] They haven't seen me yet.

This is gonna be very tricky.

See them through the bushes.

[in normal voice] Now they're all running away. Damn it.

[Matt] Oh, man.

What in the [bleep]?

People walking around while I'm hunting.

Why the [bleep] am I waking up early for,

covering impala [bleep] dirt and mud?

Look at that goddamn Gary walking by.

Right through the hunting zone.

[bleep] kidding me.

Goddamn it.

There was impala ram [bleep] almost coming.

[sighs]

Pisses me off.

[sighs]

[Waz] See anything this morning?

[Matt] Uh, yeah. I had a group there until Gary boned me.

[Gary] Oh, hey, so sorry. I didn't know I messed up your hunt this morning.

[Matt] I would assume in the morning,

assume I'm out there somewhere.

I am bummed that every time I get out there and hunt,

I keep getting boned by other survivalists.

So, this is what I'm thinking, guys.

To maximize our... our hunting first couple hours of morning,

till the sun's up about two hands,

I need anybody who's gonna hunt, hunt that waterhole.

We'll coordinate with each other,

figure out who's going up there.

Um, who's sitting in a place.

Then after that, anytime between that hour and about...

two or three hands before it drops into the horizon,

fish the heck out of it.

That should be the best fishing anyways for that hole.

We have two weeks left.

And that two weeks

is probably gonna be the hardest two weeks.

We are hungry. We are protein deficient.

If I was by myself and no one interfering,

there probably would have been two impala by now,

sitting there on a campfire.

If we can coordinate that,

-it's going to be successful, we will have success. -[Gary] Yeah.

Just felt shady.

Matt is saying we're gonna play it by playing his way.

I did think, you know, "Who are you to tell me

what to do with my bow and arrows?"

This is upside down right now.

This is gonna be a seine net

that we can have with one person on each side

dragging this thing through the water.

Crossing my fingers, this could be really effective.

First we're gonna use this thing up in the...

fish pond, kinda like a seine net.

Did this a lot in different labs that I've worked in

to assess fish populations,

and it's an amazing method for catching fish.

Might as well use the wind to our advantage.

-Yeah. -It, uh, just started on the other side there.

[Dan] Yup.

Walk this direction.

Just stretch it out like a large rectangle,

walk horizontally up from shore, bring it in

and it will sort of just scoop all the fish into one net

and be able to drag 'em up on shore.

Oh, you're way first...

Yeah, we'll bring that to shore.

-Just keep it tight on the bottom. -Yeah, but keep it tight.

[Matt] We're on checks and balances

with calories right now.

Um, anything to help us get more food

is a big deal out here, especially protein.

[Steven] So we're... we're testing it out

and, um, it's not working quite as planned.

Yup.

But it's... it's just like anything out here.

It's trial and error.

You have to learn. You have to adapt.

You have to fail before you succeed.

The net's the wrong kind of net for this.

-[Dan] The wrong... Yeah, it's... -It's not a gillnet.

Well, see, it's not...

-It's not a rectangular net either, yeah. -It's not a seine net.

We need to gotta tie a rope on the bottom

to make it tight.

Yes, that would be the easiest way

to make that tight... a tight seine net.

Without a weighted bottom, Without a weighted bottom,

the fish are gonna be able to... to get out.

They're gonna be able to swim underneath the net,

around the net.

And, uh, so these are things that are pivotal in fixing

before, uh, we can start getting positive results

on this net situation.

I know there's fish in there.

I know there's big fish in there.

[Dan] Figured we're gonna have to do some trial and error there.

[Gary] I'm very in the doghouse again.

You got Matt, kind of, uh...

calling the shots there 'cause it's his...

livelihood.

But, it's like...

But he doesn't control it.

[Jeff] His situation is nuts bro.

The strategy they've taken is, like,

"Okay, we own the... we own the prairie

and we own the bows.

We also own the lake,

you know, between these hours in the morning

and this hour at night."

It's absolutely nuts.

This other group, they're making rules

expecting me to follow.

Matt is asking me to help him kill an animal

that he then won't share with me.

This is ludicrous.

Like, oh, who do they think they are?

Basically, if anyone shoots an animal

and I'm guaranteed to not eat.

I might... I might as well just go and...

-[Gary] No. -...you know, start singing songs

out on the prairie every morning and night.

-[Sarah] At the same time. -So...

There's a problem with that.

If it becomes a situation

where Jeff feels, like, sabotaging the hunt,

then we're all screwed.

[Gary] It's a big area.

I don't think any one person

or any two people should own the field.

Yeah, yeah, I mean...

[Jeff] So, Gary, what do you think about, um...

I would like to, you know, formally ask you

as a friend if I can use a bow.

They'll be pissed off that I even would let you use that bow.

And, but... that doesn't mean I can't.

So you just can't interrupt their hunt,

then they'll be really pissed off.

-Right. Right. -[Gary] Um...

-Right. Right. -[Gary] Um... -but, uh... -So...

And then I wouldn't interfere with them

and things might be, uh, might be kosher.

That's... that's what I'm saying.

That we're communicating, that might be the best route.

Okay.

If you wanna do evenings

and I'll do mornings after tomorrow morning?

-Yeah. -[Jeff] I appreciate it.

[Sarah] Honestly, it's been kind of surprising with Gary.

I respect the fact if that's the way that he wants

to go about this.

Um, my situation is to try to keep Jeff

at a distance by being simply amicable with him

but not having anything more

to do with him than that.

I can only use the bow if I don't let the others know

that I'm hunting out on the savannah.

So that limits my hunting strategy.

It's absolutely crazy, but I just have to take it

for a few more days

until we move to the next location.

At some point...

some natives had built

a little hunting platform up in here.

The natives must have put this here

'cause this is one of those monkey fruit trees.

And it's dropping those monkey fruits

and animals like to chew on those.

A lot of animal sign here.

There's some scat here.

The grass is really matted down

so the animals do come right through here.

This would probably be a pretty...

pretty decent location

for making myself a hunting blind.

This is a definitely

a traditional Zulu hunting blind setup.

And I'm sure it was, uh, very fruitful at one time.

But nobody has used this hunting blind

in many, many years.

And the shooting lanes are no longer open.

So it definitely requires some clearing out.

Doing all this with five stitches in my hand, and a...

blistered up ankle.

[exhales] it's already testy.

I haven't eaten in several days.

I do need to prioritize myself and my health.

All right. Let's catch some bait.

Bait.

I just found this giant maggot.

I have no idea what it actually is.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

And, frankly, my way of dealing

with anything like this

is just to dig deep and get [bleep] done.

You know, I don't have quit in me.

And, uh, that means I maybe need

to run myself completely ragged

and, you know, keel over somewhere

and then get medically evacuated

or I'm gonna make it through to the end.

All right. I now have some shooting lanes...

up here.

From the high seat right up here...

I would be able to shoot anything...

in this range here.

And then I would also be able to shoot anything...

out in this field right here.

All easy shots, easy distance.

I have not ever had a bow and arrow for one minute

on any Naked and Afraid challenge I've ever been on.

Now I'm a born and bred hunter.

My grandpa taught me how to fish.

He taught me how to hunt from a young age.

I've never been able to display my skill until now.

God willing...

I'll put an animal down right here.

It's kinda funny, uh, Matt the great hunter...

Uh, the only animal he's got in this challenge,

he scavenged from leopards.

Now, if I'm the first one

to put an arrow through a big game animal out here...

um... [chuckles]

Matt might need a psychologist.

[Gary] What's up, buddy?

[Jeff] I had to spend the last couple hours

clearing out that tree stand.

[Gary] Okay.

[Jeff] And, uh, I wouldn't mind

getting up in that thing...

-[Gary] At dark. -And... and... at dark,

an hour before light.

-[Gary] And then... -And then...

When I'm ready to come out,

-I'll come out and just 'Hey". -[Jeff] Yeah.

-And then I'll go to my spot. -And then you'll go to your spot.

-We can split it up. -Let's do that.

Uh... uh, I think, then we...

-Just do me a favor, just don't let them know. -We'll maximize the one...

I won't.

[Gary] When I think about it and look at the big picture,

if Jeff does kill something with my bow...

I'm eating.

So I got that other...

person working for me.

[Jeff] Hey, man.

I... I'm happy to have you as a partner.

-Yeah, dude. I mean, if we're... -[Jeff] Yeah.

We're gonna... We're gonna make this work.

You know, that how we... how...

We have to make it work,

-you know, right now. -[Jeff] Yeah.

Gary had already agreed to let me use the bow,

but Matt and everyone, they've been...

uh, very strict, that they don't want anyone

coming up into the savannah.

It's absolutely nuts It's absolutely nuts

that this other group has basically created

an embargo on my life.

Rules restricting me of when I can go hunting,

when I can use the bow,

when, uh, when I can go fishing.

Uh, this is like in a sporting event

the other team saying, "Oh, actually, um, you know,

you have to get twenty yards

for a first down instead of ten.

Okay?"

Like, what?

[chuckles] This is stupid.

You can't just make up rules during a game.

These rules to me, they're make-believe.

They're lucky I'm respecting them right now.

And I'm only doing that

to create peace the next few days,

because, you know what?

I'm not confident they're gonna be able to shoot anything anyway.

I think it's been, like, three, four days now, without eating.

Aside from, you know, eating Spekboom

and some of those plums, and some of those plums,

not a lot. I think on an average when I'm out here,

I'm losing about a pound a day.

I'm tired and it sucks,

but that's just how survival works.

Are you [bleep] me?

My line's popping.

Come on.

I don't wanna jump the gun.

Yes!

[bleep] yes.

Yeah!

[Sarah] Got that.

Got me a fish.

Finally...

caught myself another tilapia.

So I've been out here fishing hard

for the past couple days

with, uh, not much to show for it.

So that in and of itself

is a win that can definitely put

a lot of energy back into me,

especially when it comes to making it through

to the next challenge, whatever that may be.

[Sarah] If I really wanna be the last one standing,

I gotta make it through to the end of this.

So if there is an elimination that lies ahead,

catching that fish today,

I think that it might be an intelligent move

to share it with Matt, Dan, Waz, and Steven.

It's less awkward to eat it over here

'cause otherwise Jeff's gonna stare at me

while eating a fish.

[Matt] There you go.

[Sarah] Dan, I figured you want the head

off of this thing, 'cause I ain't gonna eat it.

[Dan] Happily.

Mmm-hmm.

-There's quite a bit meat on there for ya. -Mmm-hmm.

[Sarah] No point not sharing.

[Matt] Aren't you sharing that with Gary?

No, I'm comfortable eating here.

Not that Gary doesn't deserve any.

It's just, convenient.

And, besides, I got a feeling you guys will be sharing

you guys will be sharing some fish with us pretty soon.

-[man] So... -Getting that net working.

[Jeff] I think Sarah...

took her fish...

and went to the other group.

-She did? -[Jeff] Mmm-hmm.

You know we were put in two groups because, uh...

we may have to compete against those people.

[Gary] Yeah, I... On an upcoming challenge.

On an upcoming challenge.

[Gary] Oh, we could be competing individually.

It's possible. We don't know.

[Gary] I guess day 28, we find out.

Yeah.

-[Gary] Um... -Yeah, we don't know.

Sarah catches a fish...

and she takes that fish over and feeds the other team.

Meanwhile I'm here boiling her water.

Tending her fire.

Making improvements...

to her shelter.

If that's not a team player,

tell me what is?

And, yet, I'm the bad guy.

[Sarah] Waz.

[Waz] No, I'm good. Thank you.

Matt.

Oh, sure. Hell, yeah.

Thank you.

[Dan] I love that.

It is getting to me.

Sarah, let me tell ya, you would be the first one

that they try to eliminate

once I'm gone.

[whispers] It's the morning of day 27.

And I've finally convinced Gary to let me use the bow.

Yeah, and then... I'm gonna head up into my tree stand

that I constructed yesterday.

And I get to bow hunt

for the first time in this challenge...

27 days in.

[Jeff] [bleep]

So close.

Come back here another day.

And I have been hunting all morning.

And, you know, it could have worked out

and unfortunately it didn't.

But I can always come back here

and try to make this happen.

Team Bully, they're trying to starve me out slowly but...

It's a war of attrition out here now.

And may the best person win.

[Gary] Just go for a little stroll...

Gary Golding style.

Today, I'm gonna do what I call what I call

one of my Gary Golding walkabouts

where I don't necessarily have an exact focus,

but I look for opportunities.

I mean, I just kinda feel my way around.

Tomorrow's a challenge day, like, a competition day.

We don't know what's in store

and so, man,

I haven't eaten anything substantial, really,

in a while.

You know, you feel it.

Lightheaded, starving.

It's pretty rough.

Bunch of bees over there.

Maybe just check it out.

If I find honey,

I'm sharing with every single person here,

because I just feel

it's the right thing to do right now.

Ah, I see it right there.

There's bees going in and out here.

Yup, I see it.

Saw some bees coming out of that...

those rocks right there

and those calories would be clutch right now.

Nobody got a big kill yet.

Nobody. The biggest score we've had

was that last bee hive.

That man's getting a bit of honey.

-[Dan] I appreciate it. -For all of us.

[Dan] Look at that babies.

[all cheering]

-[Waz] Yeah! -[Gary] Yeah!

That's the biggest score we've had in 27 days.

That says a lot.

What's up, guys?

-[Steven] What's going on? -[Matt] Hey, buddy.

-So... -[Matt] Doing good.

Scouted out a hive and found a hive down there.

-[Matt] Oh, really? -[Steven] Oh, nice.

-[Gary] Yeah. -[Dan] Yeah?

Where's that at?

Down at the rock face down there.

-[Dan] Ooh. -How are...

-[Gary] By the river, use that. -Oh.

[Gary] It's kind of precarious climb.

-[Steven] Okay. -[Matt] Okay keep us posted.

-[man] Okay. -Yeah, we'll kinda come up with the tools we need

-and then go for it. -[Matt] Yup.

-[Steven] Sounds like a plan, dude. -All right.

[Matt] Nice, well done.

-Thanks. -[Matt] Okay.

Yeah, go and check out that hive.

-[Gary] All right. -That sounds fun. I'm excited about that now.

[Matt] That would be freaking amazing.

-Gary would share with Jeff. -[Matt] Yeah, think so.

[Matt] Yeah.

[Steven] You're absolutely right.

You're absolutely right. 100 percent.

[Gary] So, I was down by the river, and I saw,

a spot that looked like there could be bees...

-[Sarah] Ooh. -...you know, so.

This is one of those things, we all just do it.

You can make this just a big thing together.

[Jeff] Yeah, all right.

So, Jeff is my teammate...

...and they're my teammates. [chuckles]

it's kind of an interesting place to be.

I got to balance making everyone happy,

myself, Jeff, and the four guys.

-If they plan on sharing, does that include me? -[Gary] Yeah.

[Jeff] Because if it doesn't...

Well, the thing is, if you...

[Jeff] I'm not gonna wait for them.

-Yeah, exactly. -[Jeff] That makes sense. [chuckles]

I'm gonna have to tell them, you know like, "Hey,

if we get the beehive then,

where I stand with it, you get an equal amount.

-I wanna... I'm gonna go talk with them right now. -Okay.

Gary, wait for me. I'm gonna come too.

Could do some, uh, reconnaissance, Matt.

All right.

Let's go check it out.

Gary's spotted another beehive.

Good luck, boys.

[Dan] It is a big day tomorrow, day 28.

I don't know if there's gonna be like, an elimination

or team challenge, or... or team challenge, or...

what's gonna happen, but we know we're gonna need

energy for it regardless, so.

Honey out here, is like liquid gold.

It's exactly what we need.

It would be amazing to find

another win like that out here.

But apparently, it's way up on a cliff,

and it's risky.

So, I want to go scout and I'm eager to go find it.

[Gary] Hey, you guys.

[Waz] What up, buddy?

I wanted to communicate with you,

about this beehive situation.

[Waz] Yeah, uh, Dan and Matt have already gone

started looking for it.

Uh... [Waz] So, they're scouting right now.

[Gary] So, here's the deal.

If... are we gonna...

-are they gonna be competing with me for that beehive? -[Waz] No.

-[Gary] Because... -[Waz] That's a shared...

I taught them how to get that beehive.

[Waz] No, it's shared. Everything is shared, okay.

While look, I'm just saying, if we're gonna,

-if we're gonna compete. -No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop.

[Gary] No, no, I'm not. Don't tell me to stop. I'm...

-I'm just communicating. -[Waz] I'm just trying to abate that fear that's gone.

[speaking indistinctly]

Dude, I can talk about it. Just let me talk.

You're just coming up very confrontational right now.

-[Gary] No, I, uh... -That's not a fear,

that's not a concern, so we don't hate to talk about it,

'cause we're gonna share it.

You haven't even heard what

-I'm gotta say. -[Waz] Okay.

-That's the whole thing about it. -[Waz] Oh, my God.

That's the trippiest part.

You haven't heard one word I gotta say.

-Okay, then say it. -I know, it's like holy [bleep].

Well, I heard you say the word competition,

-and I just wanted to abate the fear, that's it. -Dude, I know.

You haven't heard it yet. [bleep]

-Then, say it. -Okay.

Well then, then stop telling me to stop like I'm a kid.

Come on, man.

I just want to communicate

everything with you, that's all.

Okay, so what is it?

-Okay. Thank you. -[Waz] I'm listening.

Maybe now, you'll actually listen.

-[scoffs] Oh don't... see that's condescending. -[Gary] I'm serious...

Dude, it's hard not to be when you cut me off.

-Then talk. -[Gary] Yeah, Jesus Christ.

So, let me explain this full thing fully,

so then you're fully informed, okay?

Thank you.

So now, Jeff knows about it.

It's not being shared with Jeff.

That was a decision that four of us made.

So, you guys are telling me you four set the rules here?

I'm here too and my thoughts

and my opinion counts just as much as you four.

So, that's what I was noticing, I'm like,

"Go and check these four out,

they think, they call the shots.

They think they're the big bosses here."

And there's Gary and Sarah.

And now, Jeff, he wants to go after the honey independently

if we're not gonna share with him.

Yeah, and I think it's a good idea because we,

if that doesn't happen, he might start [bleep] us.

But now, this team here, But now, this team here,

is looking for that hive and nobody swung by

and said, "Come on, Gary."

Nobody swung by.

Those two you wouldn't think and I swear to God,

that I would have been the first person they would've thought of.

Why is it important that you specifically find it?

Because if Dan gets that beehive,

I don't like the way he shared it last time.

[Cheeny] You never get a chance to eat brood comb...

-Hmm. -[Cheeny] ...like, once in a lifetime experience.

Sometimes, Dan gets a bit sticky fingers,

when there's food involved.

Dan puts his portions to the side,

and then comes and eats other people's...

-Okay, do you see my point? -I get that.

Okay, great.

-It sucks that we're stuck over there with Jeff. -Yeah.

Please understand what it must be like,

to try to make this work with you guys and him.

I'm gonna be transparent.

This guy used a [bleep] bow this morning,

and I'll tell you why,

because I made him go on that stand in that tree

and sit right there to keep him out of the field,

because he's on the edge of goin' up there and,

singing and dancing in the morning,

and blocking the field.

So, I'm givin' him. I'm keeping him occupied.

You know, we're trying to make things work

-for ourselves, for you. -[Waz] Yeah.

Yeah, we understand exactly what you're asking,

and that's reasonable.

[Gary] Just all seven of us go and get this thing together.

And that way, her and I,

can have a peaceful home until this passes,

and just to get through this.

If not, it's gonna be [bleep] show.

Hello.

What news do you have?

-We might have just found the honey. -Okay.

We do have a little bit more of a pertinent issue,

we need to talk about first.

Because it might be the case that,

sharing with Jeff is the better option,

just for this one thing.

He's on the verge of coming up and [bleep] up,

-every one of our hunts. -[Gary] Yeah.

[Waz] So, this might just be a little bit of a...

Well not just that, also...

take the pelt out from under and,

-not put it on the roof. -Mmm-hmm.

If we don't start sharing stuff,

he's gonna make... you guys don't know what it's like,

to live over there.

[Matt] You know, so Gary is talking about how

Jeff is literally getting ready to do just full sabotage

everything from hunting to survival items, everything.

I'd rather bring him in, have him be part of us to run smooth,

but then we have to share some honey with him.

[Matt] Since it is a competition, it's sure play each other

like you... like you need to.

It appears that...

that Gary wants to you know, split the honey seven ways.

And, uh, you know what?

Sometimes when a discussion is kinda heated,

you gotta let the other person sorta take charge in order to,

de-escalate the situation.

Yeah, with this situation,

if that's how we should split it up,

we can split it up literally solid seven ways.

Awesome.

If we did find honey in this hive

with little bit of a forward thinking strategy there

of just... appeasing Jeff.

He does have the capacity to try and hurt us

a little bit more by getting in the way of the hunt so,

it's gonna suck a little bit but that just makes sense.

-I gotta tell him now. -[Waz] Yeah.

-He's part of the team, okay? -[Sarah] Let's do to it.

Let's go get a beehive, dude.

Yeah, let's do it, baby.

I don't know where this came from?

I don't know what kind of "Kumbaya" talk they had over there,

um, but it's a nice, uh, breath of fresh air.

So, around the corner slightly is where we can see some bees.

Um, it's gonna get a little sketch going around here.

So, we think it's up in this rock base, somewhere.

I mean, that's serious free solo [bleep].

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-You can't have multiple people up there... -Yeah, yeah.

...especially with bees flying around.

God, I hope this pays off. This will be cool.

[Jeff] Gary and Dan are checking it out,

seeing if they can find the hole, the source of

where the bees are entering the cliff.

That may give us some indication on,

where the honey is, how deep it is in the cliff.

Uh, but this is hard.

I mean, this cliff is pretty steep, pretty dangerous.

But, worth the shot.

Uh, honey is huge in a survival situation.

Yeah, I see it.

[Dan] Where?

-You've to climb up and over that way? -Yeah.

Right there.

So, just walk to it.

[straining]

Where?

I wanna know how deep this is right here,

in case I got to bail.

'Cause they'll blind us, by stinging our face.

[narrator] When a predator disturbs an African beehive,

thousands of bees will emerge and attack.

They become extremely aggressive, targeting

darker parts of the human body,

such as the eyes, ears, and mouth.

[Gary] ...deep it is Waz, about out here where I'd be jumping.

[Waz] Gary wanted me to check in the water to see

where the deep bits were that he could jump into.

It was 4 feet deep in some places, it was 6 deep

in other places, but he's 20 foot up that cliff.

-There's a rock? -Yeah, I see that rock.

[Gary] Yeah, I see it now.

So, up there, there's a rock, uh?

Right there?

You can't jump that far.

I can jump that far, yeah.

[Dan] I'm not jumping down there.

[Waz] It's a long jump.

[Waz speaking]

[Gary] This is where it's at.

[Dan] Don't Gary.

[Sarah] Oh, my gosh.

[Sarah] Oh, my gosh.

[Gary] This is where it's at. [straining]

Gary Golding is willing to stick his arm into a beehive,

on a cliff-face.

[Steven] 70 feet up in the air.

One foothold?

Good on him man.

[Matt laughing]

[Gary] I see the bees in there,

and they're kind of on the wall,

but they're going up into another crack up higher,

and it's way longer than I could reach in.

They're right here. I see where they're going.

[Gary] I think all I'll end up doing is agitating bees.

That would be the outcome. [chuckles]

It's about two of my arm, an arm and a half long and,

they're going up somewhere.

Yeah, there's no getting to that.

Sorry, boys.

There's nothing there worth getting.

Hey buddy, good shot.

-Yeah. -It's worth the shot.

It kinda does make me, uh, a little happy,

that my competition doesn't have all of this honey,

the day before the big competition,

because I feel strong.

Then I see some people starting to fade a little bit,

Sarah has mentioned even getting lightheaded and dizzy,

and I know members of the other group,

must be feeling that too.

[Waz] Little bump back there. It was nice while it lasted.

[Gary] You don't know if you don't try.

Gary, you're a rockstar, man.

And sketch as hell.

[Steven] Only thing goin' on tomorrow,

on our little map here.

We are approximately...

right about here... right about here...

and that's where we've gotta be so.

Uh, it might be a challenge, it might be elimination,

it might be more caches.

You know, to really knock it over the ball park tomorrow,

we need to be strong and hydrated and work together.

We have no idea.

It's all speculation at this point in time so,

let's kick ass and take names out here.

[Matt] There is a challenge tomorrow.

You know, there are seven others right now,

and it's gonna be a pretty healthy competition.

I don't know if someone gets eliminated or not,

we'll find out tomorrow.

It was a turbulent day.

Tomorrow, it's on and cracking,

we find out what this challenge is.

Tomorrow's the big day, big mystery day.

And we don't even know if it's

us against them or if it's individual.

We've no idea.

I kinda want tomorrow to be as difficult as possible,

because I believe that will separate,

uh, the wheat from the chaff.

No matter what the situation is,

I feel like we've got this.

You know, we're the, uh,

little island of misfits over here.

-[Sarah chuckles] -Yeah, we are.

[Sarah] Whether we like it or not,

we're stuck with Jeff as a member of our team.

And, honestly I still don't trust him,

as far as I could throw the guy.

We've already lost one from our group.

-[Sarah] Yeah. -And, uh, I don't want to lose another.

So, the three of us, let's sit around this fire

tomorrow night, high fiving one another.

-Let's do it to it. -[Jeff] Yeah.

That would be nice.

[Jeff] Sarah, you didn't give me a chance.

If you're eliminated tomorrow, uh, you know what,

[clicks tongue] maybe better off without you.

Let's get our rest tonight, hydrate up,

fuel up,

we'll be ready to go.

We have war paint. We're gonna put war paint on us.

[bleep] yeah.

[Waz] It's the morning of day 28.

That means, it's four weeks today.

Today, brings something.

We think it's a challenge.

We're gonna see what sort of stuff we have to get up to.

It could be anything.

[Matt] This is the first time we've done one of these challenges,

-without actually migrating. -Yeah.

-We have no idea what's happening. -Yeah.

-It's like day 7 all over again. -Yeah.

Now, we have no idea if we're facing each other,

if we're going in as a group,

but we are ready for the game to begin.

All right, boys. You ready to rock and roll?

-[all] Let's do it to it. -All right.

Let's go find out what's in store.

All right. So, our camp is right down by the river.

We are right in here.

Yeah, so we go right there by those acacias.

All right, well. Ready for whatever this future holds.

All right, guys.

Hey, if we're doing this as a team,

let's kick ass and let's do this.

All right, that's what we're here for.

[Sarah] I'm out here to compete against other people,

other survivalists.

I am the last woman out here, so, uh,

I don't have quit in me and, uh,

I'm gonna make it through to the end.

Uh-huh.

We've got a map.

-[Gary] Uh-huh. -[Jeff] It's got a lot of writing on it too.

[Gary] This is Christmas morning as I call it.

The morning when you find out

the treats you get and the destiny you will receive.

-Yeah, look at this. -Huh.

In formation.

[Matt] So, not knowing if it's a group challenge or not,

we figured the other group is gonna probably,

run out there all gung-ho-like.

While we kind of take our time

and we're gonna swagger out there a few minutes later.

We're gonna let them sit down and simmer down a bit,

while they watch the A team come into battle.

[grunts]

Right here, line up everybody.

[growling]

[Steven] We felt strong. We felt confident.

You know, we came in with some charcoal on our faces,

and some testosterone goin'.

And you know, we showed up to the challenge,

like a bunch of alphas for sure.

-[Sarah] Hey, guys. -[grunting]

[growling]

Yeah, what's up?

Well, it's war day, innit?

[Sarah] Yeah, sure is.

-[Dan] Look at that map. -[Steven] Okay.

"Today will be a critical test,

of your tracking and survival skills."

[narrator] The survivalists must find one of two trees,

marked with animal skulls.

There, each will use their tracking skills,

to follow a trail of 10 bones to its end,

where they will dig to find a cache,

containing further instructions.

There are seven caches, one for each survivalist.

"This time, you will all compete as individuals.

So, you must work alone.

The last person to succeed,

will face immediate extraction

and be removed from the challenge."

-Okay. -Wow.

Wow. Well, uh, this is huge news.

This is the first elimination challenge,

of this entire competition.

-Every person for themselves. -Yeah.

[Steven] Nobody has ever been eliminated

from a Naked and Afraid's tap out.

It's voluntary, medical, um,

this is a see-you-later situation.

-Do we find the trees first? -Yeah.

You gotta find the trees, then from the trees,

you track 10 bones.

Those bones lead you to the cache.

-Okay, and to clarify, one of seven caches. -Yup.

"Find one of seven caches hidden on the plain."

[Matt] First elimination day,

and somebody is going home today.

"Once you have unearthed a cache,

the next step will be revealed."

[Jeff] Then the pressure, the anxiety, the butterflies you get in your stomach,

competition is here. Let's go.

[Jeff] Who knows who the last one standing is gonna be but,

today, we're definitely gonna get closer to that individual.

All right, guys. Good luck, everyone.

[speaking indistinctly]

-Love you, guys. -Love you, guys.

-You guys ready? -Yeah.

Let's go.

[Waz] It's $100,000 on the table.

Someone's about to go home. I don't want to be

the first one to go home,

so I start at a pretty fast jog.

[Jeff] So, I take off like a gazelle. I'm fast, I'm fit.

I wanna be the first out there to like just find a trail,

like get to it and get it done.

[Steven] It's really rough terrain. It's dangerous.

You can break an ankle, break a leg.

A lot of things can take you out of this game.

[narrator] As they approach the first tree,

marked with a skull, marked with a skull,

Dan and Jeff are ahead of the pack.

[Matt] We're get off on this challenge,

and the pace is fast.

Foot racing it to the extreme.

[Matt groans]

I got a cramp.

Not a good time to get a cramp. [groaning]

I have a pain in my calf that I can't even explain.

No. Damn it.

Like an explosion, arrow,

a bullet wound, I have no idea, it is bad.

I'm probably gonna be the first one to get eliminated.

[groans]

[growling]

[panting]

[groans] [bleep]

[Matt] I have a pain in my calf, but if I lay down

and try to assess my calf right now,

I'm probably gonna be the first one to get eliminated.

Obviously, I'm well adapted to tracking.

[groaning] [bleep] Okay.

I'm looking for bones.

[Steven] This is a time-sensitive challenge.

There are only seven bone trails and,

if there's six people already on 'em,

and you pick the wrong one to follow,

you might not find a cache.

[bleep] come on.

[Waz] There's an elimination challenge today.

We have to track a bone trail to a cache.

Once we get to that tenth bone, we dig it up.

Last person to finish is going home.

[sighs]

Two.

Yeah. Here we go.

A bone.

[narrator] While Matt struggles to catch up,

Gary and Dan have located a bone trail.

The others are still looking for trails.

[panting] Oh. Jesus. Ow. [bleep]

[exhales] Come on.

You know, so, as soon as we got to the first tree with the bone trail,

I decided, you know what,

there's no use in continue to follow this trail if I'm behind somebody.

So, instead, I decided to run or, yeah, I should say,

hopscotch... my ass over to the second tree.

[groans]

[panting] Three. Whoo.

Off to a good start.

You're tracking. You're not just looking for one particular thing.

You're also looking for things like scuffs in the dirt,

or a rock that's been turned over,

and left a smooth spot where the moss used to be.

Five.

Just found a bone.

All right. This is good trail right here.

We all, we're in high intensity survival mode.

Seven elite survivalist charging to survive elimination.

[Gary] Another bone.

Bones.

[narrator] With no caches claimed,

Sarah, Dan and Gary are making progress on their trails.

But Steven is on the same trail as Gary.

[panting]

Another bone.

I'm on my third one.

If you know what to look for, if, if you look at the ground

and you see the debris kicked up,

these are these tiny signs that, that help you in tracking.

[exhales]

Trump's cache [bleep]

I picked up a trail,

and, uh, by the time I was on bone three, Gary already found the cache.

So, I, I had to pick a new trail.

By this time, trails are being picked up.

[Gary panting]

It's a knife,

some cortege,

and a map.

"Use these tools to build a working spring trap."

I gotta make me a spring snare trap.

[narrator] To build a spring snare,

a cortege lasso is tied to a branch.

Then kept under tension with a notch trigger stick

attached to a stake in the ground.

When an animal walks through the opening of the lasso to eat the bait,

it knocked the trigger off the stake,

'causing the branch to snap back up,

cinching the lasso around the prey.

[panting] Eight.

Nine. One more, one more.

Found it.

Oh.

[bleep] Are you kidding me?

"Use these tools to build a working spring trap.

"When you have successfully tested your trap, reset the snare,

"then navigate to the water hole to avoid elimination."

Okay.

So, looking for something good to make a spring snare out of, uh...

I gotta do this and then go to the water hole.

[panting]

-[Waz] You on anything yet? -Yeah. I'm on that trail.

[Waz] Okay.

After looking around, I've noticed a couple of other people on trail.

So I don't know how many are left.

What I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna head for that second tree

and see if I can get on a bone trail real quickly.

[narrator] Two caches have been claimed.

Five more are still available.

A bone.

[exhales]

Yes. Okay.

Okay.

Yeah. Whoo!

Whoo!

This is what I live for!

Baby, I found the knife, I found this scroll with further instructions.

I'm stoked right now.

Yeah, baby.

Whoo! [echoes]

-Yep. -[Jeff] Whoo! [echoes]

-This is what I live for. -[Gary] Great.

We got a competition right now.

All right. Here we go.

This is number one.

Two.

So that's three.

Maybe this is four.

As I'm finding the first couple of bones,

I'm, what I have trouble about, the fourth bone,

sort of, just walked out, did a bit of a circle till I found that next bone.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

This might be 10.

I'm gonna dig this one and see.

And once I found that tenth one,

I, I dug up that cache straight away.

So I've got a knife. I've also got a map.

I need to build a spring snare trap,

which I'm pretty familiar with.

So I'm pretty comfortable with this.

I'm, I'm just gonna find a bush class bark, gonna set this up real quick,

And then, uh, follow the next instructions.

[narrator] Gary, Dan, Jeff and Waz found their cache,

and now move on to the spring snare.

Matt and Steven are still searching for a trail,

while Sarah tries to locate her tenth bone.

[Matt] We have one.

[panting] Two.

Pain, it is bad. It is sending shockwaves to my brain.

And it's hard to turn off the pain.

But I'm in a war. It's amidst a battle right now.

And I'm pretty sure I'm behind some of the other survivalist.

I don't wanna get eliminated.

Sixth bone. [sighs]

But I can track an animal anywhere on the planet.

Oh, right here.

[groans] It could be possible this is the tenth one.

Hey. Come on.

Oh, come on.

There we go. There we go.

Okay.

Oh, my [bleep] leg. Oh.

To move on this leg, right now, is rough.

I'm in a foot race for time.

And I have only one foot in it.

Oh, gee.

[narrator] Matt joins the others to build his spring snare,

with only Steven and Sarah searching for the two remaining caches.

[Steven] All right. We gotta find your bone here.

Bones.

[grunts]

[Sarah] Eight.

Eight or nine. Somewhere in there

there is a bone... that I missed

when I started looking.

So my numbers are off.

I got a bone right there. It's my third bone.

And there's another one.

[exhales]

[Sarah] It's gotta be around here somewhere.

Are you on my trail?

-I don't know. -Yeah.

[Sarah] This is my trail.

-[Steven] Maybe. -[Sarah] Yep.

Steven and I spent 21 days together.

And it's not a fair way to treat me.

[Steven] All right. Maybe this is bone 10.

Ha-ha.

Got it.

[Sarah] I guess, Steven just found the cache that I was on

after following me to the last few bones.

Well, [bleep]

Steven really [bleep] me on this one.

Ha-ha!

Got it.

[sighs] Well, [bleep]

You know, I was so close and then...

Steven just comes in and snatches my victory from me.

Yeah. I got caught on the same trail here. Let's see.

Sarah was there, um, I started following a bone trail.

Apparently, it was hers that she was on.

And I, I found the cache.

"If successfully tested your trap, reset the snare,

"then navigate to the water hole to avoid elimination."

All right.

I don't feel like I did anything wrong.

[narrator] With six cache claimed, only one remains.

Four hundred yards away on the opposite side of the competition area.

So the issue that I'm facing right now,

is I don't know how many people have found their maps.

I could be going off on any of these trails,

and not know...

if that trail is dead end because the map has already been found.

Steven really [bleep] me on this one.

So smart move on Steven's part. Leech off of my success.

I'm a little surprised and definitely hurt

that Steven, you know, jumped to this, kind of, tactic, honestly.

It's the, kind of, stuff I'd expect from Jeff.

This maybe the best bet.

Gosh. Darn, these are strong.

Gotta find good material to make a spring snare.

So when you're making a spring snare,

basically, the spring portion, you wanna find a branch like this,

this is gonna be a good one.

It's gonna be nice and close to the ground.

And, basically, I'm gonna use a... uh, a little piece of wood.

It's gonna hold it down there

and as soon as the animal comes through and triggers that,

this is gonna fly back up.

I was the first one to find the cache.

So I'm not off to a bad start.

[grunts] So what I'm doing is I pick the, uh, good hardwood here,

because... I gotta pound it into the ground.

[exhales, grunts]

All right. Use sufficient force.

This is the, uh...

It's a pretty strong tree.

But I need...

Oh, [bleep] All right.

I'm gonna need to attach a couple together.

[grunts, bleep]

My leg is hindering me bad. The pain is excruciating,

it's throwing my mind crazy, but I have to stay focus.

And now is no time to panic.

You panic now, you're gonna lose.

But I have made so many of these traps in my life,

that I could do it blindfolded.

Definitely, don't know why I have to make a spring snare...

on the fly like this.

So... it, definitely, might be the fastest one

I may ever have to make in my entire life.

This is, probably, one of the hardest parts,

which is...

getting this thing to stick on the ground

'cause this ground here is tough.

I don't know if it's gonna hold, but we'll try.

[bleep] It's not gonna work.

I can't bury this into the ground. The ground's too hard.

So... I'm not gonna waste time trying to bury this in the ground.

This has to hold the force.

It's very difficult to dig a hole, put a post in.

Rather than putting that post into the ground I've tied it to a rock,

that's gonna hold that post in place,

so when I pull up on it, it's got nowhere to go.

Sometimes you need to think outside the box here.

And that's exactly what I'm doing.

I have no idea who else has found anything.

But now...

I need to find a new trail to track.

It's seems like there's not too many people out here right now.

So I think what I'm gonna do is head over to the other tree.

See about tracking from there.

This is good for small game, like...

rabbits,

one of the little small mammals.

They follow predictable trails,

a lot of time you can put bait around these snares

to lure them to a certain spot,

or put debris around to crown through, something like that.

I, really, don't know what's going on with everybody else.

I haven't seen anyone run past me or anything like that.

Ready?

Ready to test it?

Let's see.

Got it.

Okay. Reset the snare.

I'm out here with some strong skilled people,

but I'm not even thinking about them.

I just need to move on to the next level of this competition.

Okay.

I did it.

See what I got what we need. All right.

Ooh, my God.

Man, this ground is rock, rock hard.

Okay.

So what I'm gonna do... is I'm gonna try to use...

one of these that's already in the ground.

So what I decided to do is use a plant growing up out of the ground already.

That plant is anchored into the soil by roots.

And I'm gonna cut a notch on the stem of this plant,

in order to hang my trigger stick from the spring snare.

There's been so much trash talking, lately.

People talking bad about me.

And now, I finally get the chance...

to... eliminate someone based on skill.

But pretty soon... it's gonna be five versus one.

Looking for a tree that's got a good limb on it.

And a sapling close to it, so I can build a spring snare.

This is something I've done before, multiple, multiple times

in, uh, Louisiana.

I have, literally, spent hours and hours setting these up in the field.

I can, literally, do this with my eyes closed.

Got my sapling... base.

Now I gotta make my spring snare.

Oh, [bleep]

[grunts, exhales]

[bleep] My leg is in pain.

It is, without a doubt...

I am in a...

in a rough...

rough place when it comes to... the pain right now.

[exhales]

All right.

The trap animal goes in.

[exhales, grunts]

Okay.

[grunts, bleep] Okay. [grunts]

No time to slow down. I have no idea who's there.

There should be no reason why any single person here shouldn't beat me.

I'm moving so slow that I anticipate now that I may be eliminated.

[exhales] Geez.

There is it. Ten. Right there.

Let's see what we got.

[groans] Looks like we got something. All right.

Oh, look. A knife.

I see that I'm the last person to find the cache,

but on past challenges, you know, I've faced a lot of adversity.

But, no matter what, I continue persevering and that's just my nature.

"When you have successfully tested your trap, reset the snare,

"then navigate to the water hole to avoid elimination."

[bleep] I've gotta hurry.

Okay.

I'm ready. Let's test it.

All right. So now...

I'm gonna test it out. So the animal comes through here,

walks through the snare.

It gets caught around the neck. Tries to get away,

and...

And it gets...

And it gets hung up.

Growing up playing sports, my coaches always taught me,

"You win before you ever even step on the field."

Okay. So... I've got the snare complete.

Now to the pond.

I came prepared.

And all of my competitors, And all of my competitors,

they're not comfortable with this level of competition.

Me? I thrive off this.

Feels great, baby.

All right.

Let's see how this goes.

This ground here is so hard. I had to improvise, so.

Rather than putting that post into the ground,

I've tied it to a rock and put a heavier rock on top of that rock.

That's gonna hold that post in place.

So when I pull up on it, it's got nowhere to go.

This is a little temperamental bit.

Here's the animal.

Animal comes through,

pokes its head through,

and...

Hold the gap off again.

I need to reset it.

It's just a case of keeping your cool.

You're able to, logically, solve problems, if you, if you keep your cool.

If you let yourself get worked up by emotions,

you're never gonna problem-solve anything.

Reset, ready to go.

I got one knife and I'm heading back to the... water pond.

Ready.

I did it. Whoo!

Six sets here.

Doing good, apparently.

Did something right.

"Congratulations on making through Day 28 and avoiding elimination.

"You are now among the elite few remaining in this challenge."

Whoo!

There are six.

I'm the first.

That is amazing.

Ooh, my God.

[Matt] Whoo-whop.

I can see you're here, Dan.

I'm sorry you're number two.

[Matt] I'll let you have a one spot once in a while.

Get down here.

[groans]

[Matt] First thing surprised me

was that how the hell am I second place here

when I had this leg slowing me down worse than anybody.

It, uh, so I just, uh...

This guy looks good.

-You fall? -[Matt] No.

No, it just... I don't, I don't know.

I don't know.

-[Dan] Just caught a... -Just caught a little gofer hole or somethin'.

-And it, uh... -Twisted a little bit?

No, just like...

It just, like, seized up.

Oh, sweet Jesus.

[Jeff] Whoo!

Whoo!

[groans, bleep]

This is what I live for.

Whoo!

I'm not, I'm not gonna be seen sitting on the ground.

[Jeff] We got a competition now, baby.

Whoo!

[Dan] Took so long, I almost took a nap.

-[Jeff] Uh-huh. -[Dan] No, I'm being for real.

Oh, whatever.

-How are you two? -Good.

-[Jeff] It's good, -Get your scroll.

[Jeff] I'm stoked to be here. I'm here with Matt and Dan.

And they don't seem too excited to see me, to be honest with you.

-Are you guys the first two here? -[Dan] Yeah.

Now we gotta wonder who's gonna be eliminated.

-Yeah. -[Jeff] Yeah.

-Whoo! -[Dan] Come on, Awaz.

Let me see you sweat.

-[laughs] -[Dan hoots]

Pick one of these.

[Waz] I'm fourth.

We've got Sarah, we've got Gary,

and we've got Steven Lee Hall Jr. out on the field still.

There's only two more spots.

[Gary] Oh, damn.

It's 28 days in and someone's got to go.

And I'm thinking it might be me.

It definitely throws me off to be screwed over

in the middle of this challenge,

especially by somebody who

you know, I spend 21 days out here with that I thought was my friend.

So, I got my spring snare, I got my noose...

All right.

All right.

[Steven] I'm really not paying attention to what's happening around me,

I have a set goal, because once I finish this,

I go to the finish line,

and once I go to the finish line, I make it... to... to the next day.

Got my stick.

Good.

I busted out that spring snare.

Lickety-split, good five minutes I was dunzo.

[Sarah] [bleep]

I gotta [bleep] hurry.

Uh, crap man.

I'm having trouble with the spring snare

playing with it, trying to get it work.

My original noose here.

This is just too... high.

-Whoo. -Yeah.

-Come on... -[all cheering]

I'm running.

[Steven] So, I'm running to the lake

I'm looking and there's... there's four of them there.

And I know that Gary and Sarah are the two people behind.

Grab you one of them bud, grab that, grab that.

Yeah!

You know, one of them is not coming back.

-[all exclaiming] -Ah!

[indistinct chatter]

I can't care about what's happening over there.

[Gary] It's the second time where I'm the first one to the first part of then challenge.

And then almost last on the second part of the challenge.

[Sarah] When you have successfully tested your trap

reset the snare then navigate to the water hole to avoid elimination.

That means I gotta [bleep] hurry.

[Steven] This time,

the last person to succeed will be removed from the challenge.

-Okay. -[man] Woah.

[narrator] For this competition, PSR or Primitive Survival Rating

weighs an individual's survival skills and items collected

to determine the likelihood of becoming the last one standing.

Working on getting this fishing cache A long time...

Ha-ha, Whoo.

[narrator] Dan successfully found the fishing net.

Okay, I did it.

[narrator] As well as finishing first in the elimination challenge.

I am the first, that is amazing.

Oh, my God.

[narrator] These wins boost his PSR up from nine point two to nine point four.

I can see you here, Dan.

I'm sorry you're number two.

[Matt] I'll let you have a one spot once in a while.

[narrator] Though he achieved a second place finish in the day 28 challenge...

Ah!

...a leg injury put Matt's challenge in question...

Uh-huh oh, jeez.

...dropping his PSR from nine point eight to nine point six.

Yeah! Got me a fish.

[narrator] Despite her many fishing successes...

[Sarah exhales] This is my trail.

-Maybe... -Yeah.

[narrator] ...the bone trial challenge leaves Sarah

the last woman in the competition at a high risk of elimination...

Ha-ha. Got it.

Steven really [bleep] on this one.

[narrator] ...dropping her PSR from eight point four to eight point two.

[narrator] For additional PSR information visit Discovery.com/PSR.

Dang. It worked before.

That's frustrating.

[bleep]

Wait, who's that?

Someone coming?

Who... who is that?

-[Steven] It's Gary. -Uh-oh.

[Matt] Gary!

[Gary] Oh, my God. [panting]

Gary run!

Coming in from eleven o'clock here he is.

[panting]

-You're good... -Slide, slide... Coming in hot.

[all] Yes!

Safe.

Huh. [bleep].

-You're good buddy. -Ah.

Gary stand up. I mean come here.

Come here, come here.

-Come here, yeah. -Congrats buddy.

I made it.

I made it, the first elimination challenge.

I actually conquered.

And I made it.

It's gonna be me and survival legends.

-Bitter sweet, Sarah's gotta go. -I... I wish, I wish.

It's the nature of this kind of competition

is there's going to be an elimination somebody's gonna go.

You know what, I don't wanna see Sarah go.

But I'd rather be partnered with Gary.

Gary's been coming around the past few days,

uh, he's opening up to me a little bit more.

We've been working closely together.

-She's been the last female standing. -Yeah.

And it's a... And it's a...

-That's... That's a credit all in its own. -Yeah.

You know.

[Sarah grunts]

Uh, I'm feeling really [bleep] about Steven right now.

That's what I'm feeling, but you know,

this is the competition it's how it goes.

I really wish things could've panned out differently.

There she is.

-Sarah! -[all cheering]

[Gary] Yaay.

Well you'll get the beer and the burger.

Yeah, thanks to you.

[Steven] Ha-ha, sorry.

You wanna tell me what happened?

-I lost the trail and... -Ended up on mine.

-I mean it's... -I was on boat number nine.

At holes all of us do that.

I'm sorry, I don't know... I don't...

I stayed on every trail that I tracked.

I didn't have that problem.

-I... -I had the same problem.

Gary... Gary was in front of me on mine.

Well I didn't go out of my way to take your glory.

I even said, "Oh you're on my trail."

-That would've been a good opportunity. -All the other ones

were taking Sarah, what do you want me to do.

-Go to a different trail. -He didn't... he didn't.

-They... they were gone. Matt took... -I know.

I followed one and Matt found his,

I followed another one, Gary was on his.

-[indistinct conversation] -You... you walked back to the thing and I

found that other one and there it was.

-[Sarah sighs] -It's not personal... I didn't what was I supposed to do?

Find a different trail.

That's what I would've done.

How... how was I supposed to find another trail

when three of them are already gone.

Still sucks dude.

It's gonna be hard to forgive you dude.

[Steven] You know for her to come to me and

say that she is super upset with me and

she might never forgive me, she might never forgive me,

It... it took my joy away.

You know I completed it.

-You were a warrior out there girl. -Yes.

[Sarah] I guess it's time to pack up and say goodbye.

Not the way I wanted to go but you know, it's better than being medically evacuated

and I certainly didn't want to tap out so uh,

I still consider this a win.

You did good girl, proud of you.

[Sarah] Thanks guys.

-Be proud of yourself. I love you so much. -You did great.

-Thank you. -I... I just wished I could've accomplished more.

Hey, what you did never can be taken away.

So don't ever let it diminish okay?

[Sarah] The other thing that kind of stinks is the fact that

it's gonna be the last man standing because I was the last woman out here.

And I wanted to be the last woman out here.

[Sarah sighs]

[Gary] It's bitter sweet you know it puts everyone

one step closer to the grand prize.

And uh...

It's sad to see her go.

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

[Steven] I didn't wanna be the one to eliminate my own first partner out here

but this is a competition,

I didn't break any rules, I completed the challenge.

Somebody had to be eliminated and um,

I live guilt free.

Wow! Half of us are left.

We're down to six.

It's a weird moment.

-The eliminations begin. -They have to.

This is the all-star crew right here.

Till the... till the next chapter of this adventure comes.

You know, my legs hurt, and so right now, most important thing,

is to get myself better to keep in the fight.

-You good? -I'm good.

-Yeah, I'll make it. -Let's do it.

[Matt] But without a doubt, it hurts to move right now.

-Can I help you out Matt? -I don't, ah!

[bleep].

[Matt] And there's a good chance that I might be eliminated.
