Original subtitles

[Amber] This is different.

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

[Matt] You've got to watch your back for not just animals this time,

but for the other survivalists.

[Jeff] Run!

[shouting]

[gasping]

[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!

[Narrator] Failure means elimination.

[Gary] This challenge is so real.

[Narrator] Who will be the Last One Standing?

Previously on Last One Standing...

-You guys ready? -Yeah.

-Let's get it done. Let's do it. -Let's go. Let's go.

[Narrator] The competitors took on their first elimination challenge.

[Gary] We are charging to survive an elimination.

[Jeff] This is what I live for.

[groaning]

[Narrator] Matt was almost immediately hobbled.

[bleep] my leg is in pain.

No time to slow down. Okay. [groans]

This is my trail.

Ha-ha! Got it.

[Narrator] Steven and Sarah were competing neck and neck.

Yeah! [whoops]

I was so close, and then Steven just comes in

and snatches my victory from me.

[Narrator] Leaving his former partner to be the first survivalist

eliminated from the competition.

-You want to tell me what happened? -I lost the trail and--

And ended up on mine?

Steven really [bleep] me on this one.

Down to six.

-[Steven] It's all men from here. -A lot of testosterone.

-Oh, God. -[laughs]

[Jeff] Open that scroll, baby. Open that scroll.

"Congratulations on making it through day 28 and avoiding elimination.

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

Your next migration will take you to a new survival location

two miles downriver."

-[Waz] Woah. -[Steven] Two miles? That's a long way.

Well, and also the rocks and the boulders.

I mean, we don't want any broken legs and ankles and crap.

[Narrator] Over the next four days, each team must construct a raft

that can withstand the most dangerous part of the Umzimkulu River.

If they can navigate the class three rapids

and maneuver around two-ton boulders in fast currents,

they will land in zone five.

[Matt] The elimination is over. Now it's back to survival. [exhales]

Leg burns like fire.

Hey, hey. You look like you're limping your leg.

-Yeah. -Did you hurt it on this?

Yeah, on this way back in the beginning.

Goddammit.

-[groans] -[Steven] Wow, you're cramping good, huh?

Does not feel good.

Somebody get a medic over here.

[groans]

This adrenaline, it wore off as soon as I crossed that line

and that's when the leg really set in.

It hurts.

-[groaning] -Leg is all twisted up too.

-Yep, yep, a little bit. Yep. Oh yeah. -You have a leg cramp?

[Waz] Which part of your calf is it?

[Matt] It's like the whole... This whole back.

[groans] I just had to keep running on it.

There was no way to stop, no way to like, sit there and take it out.

So it... I'm assuming it locked up extra hard because of it.

[Narrator] By continuing to run while his leg was severely cramping,

Matt might have torn his calf muscle,

resulting in long-term injury.

[Matt] Hope I didn't [bleep] rip something.

[medic speaking]

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

-God gave me two legs for a reason, right? -Yeah.

[Jeff] My biggest competition, Matt, can barely even stand right now.

He clearly has injured himself.

I mean, I don't want to sound heartless, but the facts remain.

Every person that drops out, I'm one step closer to $100,000.

[Matt] This is some good damn teammates here.

I got to say. Just competed against them essentially

and they still got my back. That's awesome.

[Steven] Matt's hurting.

As a brother, as a teammate, I'm a little concerned.

But I tell you what, out of anybody out here

he's my biggest competition. He always has been.

So it just... It changes the whole everything.

I could win this.

[snuffling]

-[Jeff] We made it, buddy. We made it. -[Gary] Yeah, we made it.

It's just me and you.

[Jeff] I'm happy with how things are turning out.

I think what I'm gonna do here, Gary,

is I am going to cut through this log

and save... Save this back section for raft material.

-[Gary] That could be a smart idea. -Okay.

We now have to build a raft for the next migration.

The raft has to float and we have to use it

to carry all of our items downriver.

As a two-person team, it means that we can build a smaller raft,

so that's going to save us some time.

It's kind of nice only having to run ideas

-off of one other person. -Yeah.

[Gary] Sarah was eliminated, so it's getting real.

If I had to guess who would be the last one standing,

initially I would think Matt, but now Matt's got an injury.

That's how this game works.

You don't know what's coming around the corner.

-I look forward to having some good bro talk with you. -Yeah.

You know, we've had to behave ourselves with the lady in camp.

-Yeah, right. -[laughing]

[Gary] Jeff's a game piece.

And I can utilize the game piece for my own survival.

[Jeff] I'm gonna go find a cork wood tree and chop the bitch down.

[Gary] Yeah.

[Matt] Oh [bleep] it burns, man.

-[exhales] -[Waz] You might just have to baby that

for three or four days, man.

[Matt] I hope it's just a cramp that got jacked up 'cause I ran on it.

If that's what I'm... I'm still going for,

-best case scenario. -[Waz] Yeah.

-[Steven] Hydrate up hard, take it easy, dude. -Yeah.

We got another migration coming up in three days.

What's that thing say again?

"Your next migration will take you

to a new survival location two miles downriver.

As a team, you must build a raft to transport your gear."

[Dan] We absolutely could use some of the bamboo.

-It's the best material out here. -[all] Yeah.

[Matt] On the map, it shows bamboo.

Bamboo is incredibly light, but also very strong.

It's almost all air, very little weight, and it's incredibly helpful.

We're going to harvest enough bamboo to make an entire raft.

-And once it's dried out too, it's like, super light. -[Matt] Yeah.

-12-foot length, you reckon? -12 foot would be a nice raft for the four of us.

Let's just go get it.

I think you can sit that one out, but we'll get that.

[Waz] We just want to baby Matt as much as we can

until we get him in a place where he's a lot stronger.

I don't want him out of the competition because he has a sore leg.

I'm just gonna do everything I can to get him back in working order,

so he can perform at his best, so that when I beat him he's got no excuse.

-[Matt] All right, boys. I wish I could help you. -It's all good, buddy.

Three of us is more than enough.

[Gary] I'm gonna go find something to scavenge.

Me and Jeff got to build a raft, but I'm starving.

I haven't eaten anything substantial really in a while.

Just getting emaciated.

You get short of breath. You have to sit down a lot.

It's exhausting.

Oh yeah. Look at that.

I found mulberries.

I decided to keep these for myself

because it's not enough to share, you know.

It's important to take care of some things for myself

because down the line, we'll probably be pushed into a corner

where we have to compete against each other.

[Jeff] So I'm looking at this cork tree right now

for potential material for the raft build.

I think that this is gonna be the ticket to buoyancy.

It's lightweight and it floats well in water.

There is a limited number of these trees in this environment,

so I'm going to harvest this now

minutes after we just got the news that we have to build a raft

because that other group, they're probably going to be looking for something similar.

Another benefit of chopping this tree down now

is it's gonna be able to dry out for the next three and a half days,

which will give it more buoyancy.

I can't really lose here gathering this cork wood.

-What's up, fellas? -[Dan] You doing firewood?

[Jeff] Uh, collecting materials for a raft.

-[Dan] Oh nice. -[Jeff] What are you guys up to? Firewood?

-Firewood, raft, shelter. -Yeah.

[Steven] I don't think they're going to be able

to make it float with that wood.

If they don't build a raft out of bamboo, they're [bleep]

Yeah. There's no way it's going to float. Impossible.

[Waz] We see Jeff cutting down some small branches and some weird stuff.

We asked him what he's doing and he said collecting raft materials.

So maybe in his head he hasn't put two and two together

and realized that bamboo which is the best raft material known to man

is just down the road a little bit.

And if he's not thinking that, we don't want to give it away.

[Dan] Here we are.

Let's start mowing.

I think we're being really smart about our resources

and our time and calorie expenditure out here.

That bamboo is going to be very, very, very light and great to work with.

We have the materials, we have the knowledge, we have the people.

We've really, really set ourselves up for success.

-Yeah, we're getting good stacks over here. -Yeah, looking good.

Bingo!

If they're trying to use that [bleep] cork wood,

I think we should just stash it and not tip them off to the idea.

[Waz] Yeah, I don't want to plant that seed in their brain.

[Steven] We could put it in the reeds.

-[Waz] Yeah, in the reeds would be better. -[Dan] Yeah, okay.

[Waz] We're going to build a raft with the stuff we got.

It's hidden, so the boys can't get it.

Yeah. Love it.

And hopefully if they build a raft out of branches and cork wood,

then we're just gonna float on by those people on the way to the next place.

That could be an advantage to possibly get a head start.

Might be some caches to find, maybe some food.

-That'll do it. -[Steven] Yep.

I'm definitely being extra cautious with this saw

after I nearly chopped my hand off.

[sighs] Okay.

Oh [bleep] I need a medic.

I just cut myself pretty bad.

I understand that I'm deep into a survival challenge

and I'm probably weaker than I might think I am.

So being careful at this stage in the game is very important.

I'm gonna take apart the majority of this whole damn tree.

But I also need a chunk of the real big tree.

This bottom chunk, this is the part that I really want.

[tree creaking]

-[snapping] -Woah, woah, woah!

I expected that.

One more big cut...

And then I got my cork wood pieces.

[exhales]

Okay.

All right. This is great.

Nothing comes easy out here.

I've already got the difficult stuff out of the way.

This is going to work out perfectly.

-Hey, buddy. -Hey, hey. How'd it go?

Uh, we saw Jeff collecting raft material

Jeff was getting like, big pieces of cork wood.

-Oh, he was? -[Dan] Yeah. So we ended up stashing it.

-[Matt chuckles] -[Steven] It's perfect. We can go grab it tomorrow.

[Matt] That's a smart call, guys.

Oh, it's gonna be prime time then.

[Dan] Now that we have a strategy with the bamboo

and we're thinking 18 steps ahead of the game,

I think we're going to be in good shape the next few days.

They're going to look ridiculous if they make a raft

that doesn't... That doesn't float them.

-Big, cork board thing. -They'd be idiots.

-[Waz] How you doing, Matt? -[bleep] burns, man.

-So it started as a cramp and you just pushed through-- -Well, I don't really know.

I hope I didn't tear... Tear something.

If I did, hopefully it just gets better quickly.

[Matt groans]

[deep breaths]

[groans] Painful son of a bitch.

I'm pretty positive I probably ripped something in my leg.

It feels like an injury that's gonna take, you know, a couple months to heal

because she hurts.

[sighs] Oh man.

I think I slept about an hour or two last night.

It doesn't want to pull up. Still [bleep] hurts.

-It's like permanently tight? -It's weird.

It's actually got some kind of ball in there.

My leg still feels like a dud.

Feels like there's a couple knives just stabbing into the calf.

And it frustrates me.

[sighs] I could just feel it getting ready to like, do something

so I'm trying to like, keep off of it.

Right now at this point in time,

I have to make sure my body heals,

otherwise I will never make it.

[Waz] Here's the thing that sucks if you have torn it.

You don't have the nutrients in your body

or the proteins and the minerals to mend it.

[Matt] Yeah, to help mend it as much.

It's been seven or eight days since we've eaten a proper meal,

so to get our hands on some meat is gonna be a big deal.

Me and Waz, we're going to go hunting.

And you guys will be hiding... You guys will be hiding out

-in those little blinds you made? -Yeah, yeah.

-Alrighty. -All right, crew.

-Good luck. -[Waz] Yeah, see you boys. We'll be back with some meat.

I hope you do. Embrace your savage side.

Get it done.

-I'll just have to go up against some monkey for it. -Okay.

These fruit, we see teeth marks scratched into them.

And that's the nyala that want to try and get into some of this.

It smells good to them, it smells sweet.

So I've collected some of these.

There's a tree that I'm going to go climb up and hunt out of

and I'm gonna put these underneath that tree.

I'm going to break some open so it brings that nyala in,

and once it's right underneath me,

I'll just, [whistles] lights out. I'm getting it with arrows.

Matt's obviously the hunter, but I'm the guy that just is able

to just logically problem solve anything that's in front of me.

So I'm setting up my blind.

I spent about an hour cutting down a thousand acacia plants.

I got shooting window one,

shooting window two,

shooting window three.

This is usually when animals start coming down the next hour and a half.

So they've been coming down here to graze.

The wind is not great for me right now,

but this is the best hunting grounds we've had yet

and we need food. We do.

So Lord willing I'll be able to have a shot.

But we will see. This is Africa

and these animals are not dumb. [snorts]

[sighs] Let's do this.

[Jeff] We only have a couple days left

to get this thing built, tested and in the water.

So I'm gonna chop off the pieces of these logs that we don't need,

the rotted parts, make them a little bit more the same size.

[exhales]

-How's it going, brother? -Good, how are you?

Good, man. Just getting this thing a little organized.

-It's coming together good. You like it? Okay. -I like that.

Jeff's badass. Jeff is a hard worker and he knows what he's doing.

Here's what I was thinking.

These four how you got 'em, and then bamboo across...

-Yep. -...this way.

It'll disperse the pressure like a snowshoe.

-For sure. Yeah. -On top, right? So they--

Or even if I... If I laid down,

'cause if I laid down on it, that would disperse my weight

-throughout the entire raft. -I was thinking that.

That would probably be the best way.

So I'm gonna finish cutting the bamboo pieces,

and then the next step is cut cordage from the hides.

And then, the step after that is put it together down by the water.

It's got cork wood on the bottom.

It's all tied together nice and strong with cordage from our hides.

Gary and I are then going to collect a bunch of bamboo

and put two large bundles on top of the raft.

Not only will this add buoyancy,

but it will also give us a platform

to put our items to get them up out of the water.

-Hey, man. I mean-- -We're a team of two, but we're doing all right.

[Gary] I'd say we are. Yep.

-[groans] -Is it cramping up again?

Yeah, it wants to bad.

Right now Waz and Steven are up there hunting in that field.

To sit here with my bow hanging up, my arrows,

and having to lean against the post to stretch my leg out

just so that I can walk tomorrow,

that hurts. It does.

If I step wrong, it is a bolt of lightning.

[Dan] Sometimes it's important to rest or you risk getting out of the game.

Like Matt's leg for example.

Hopefully that doesn't take him out. We don't want it to.

We want it to be about skill.

I don't want someone to go out

just because they hurt their calf.

May the best, at this point, man win.

[Matt] Right there. I don't even know

how I stepped differently, but [exhales]

-Good God. -[Dan] All right, Matt.

[wind blowing]

So sitting up here in my blind in my little hide in the tree,

right down there in those bushes

I can see two male nyala and then the juvenile male.

Steven's down there in a hide underneath those two acacia trees.

I'm really hoping he's already spotted these things

so he can get himself in position.

[whispering]

[exhales]

Come on, God.

[Waz] These things 'cause they're so big,

you really need to be about 20 yards away to get an effective kill shot.

If they can just get a little bit closer to Steven.

That's it. Keep walking.

They haven't picked up his scent yet.

Something magical might happen here.

Walking straight at Steven's hide.

He knows that he can kill from that range.

That nyala is getting extremely close to Steven.

[bellows]

[Waz] Oh, it's turning perfectly.

Come on.

[Steven] Dammit!

[Waz] Oh, that might be the end of our chances right here.

Maybe they smelled him, maybe they heard him or saw him move a little bit.

[Steven] They just barely stayed out of range.

The wind changed directions.

They caught my scent pretty hard.

Oh, I needed like, ten more yards, man.

Ten more yards, I could have taken a shot.

[sighs]

-[Dan] It's still super tight? -[Matt] It is a little better than it was before.

It's not good enough to... To actually walk like a normal pace,

but it's allowing me to stand when I pee. So that's exciting.

[Dan] We're working on the raft today?

[Matt] Yep, get ready to rock and roll.

I would like to not make a [bleep] raft.

We're the A Team. We got to make some good [bleep]

[Steven] Big day today. We have to build a raft.

On my multiple challenges in Naked and Afraid,

I've made my fair share.

In the Bahamas...

Teamwork makes the dream work, guys.

Also in my Legends challenge in Louisiana...

So I'm thinking two really long pontoons like 22 feet

and easy lattice work, palms on top so we could actually...

-You know, we're not falling through the cracks and stuff. -[man] Yeah, of course.

-[grunts] Beautiful. -[Steven] Whoo-hoo!

And the four of us, we built just a badass raft in the Amazon.

[grunts]

But cruising down a slow tributary in the Amazon is way different

than this raging monster I got behind me over here.

There is white water in this river, massive boulders.

So we need a good game plan.

We have to navigate and because of that

it needs to be a light, but fast boat.

Too heavy, and we find ourselves getting stuck on rocks.

[Waz] We're building this raft out of bamboo.

It's quite strong. We're gonna build it really sturdy.

I think you wrap it up in two separate bundles.

Tie it up, tie it up.

[Dan] Then flex them backwards, tie 'em together.

[Steven] We want, uh, two braces in the middle.

[Dan] This is like a white water raft combined with a canoe.

I mean, it'd be dope to white water raft

-down an African raging river. -[Matt] Yeah.

-[Dan] Yeah. -You know? Like, it'd be awesome.

[Dan] Make some paddles.

We got four of these.

These scapulas that I've collected along the way

are gonna make really great paddles.

-Rock star. -[Steven] Good job, buddy.

[Dan] Shaped just like a paddle,

it's thin, strong, and lightweight,

I've even carried 'em from location to location

to use as shovels for the ground

and that kind of thing.

It couldn't be a more perfect object out here.

And it's gonna look pretty badass at the same time.

-Start the raft, boys. -[Waz] Let's do it.

[Matt] I'm on paddle duty.

What I'm doing is making a shorter blade

from a wildebeest, and latching that on.

Having a bum leg kinda sucks.

You know, I'd like to get over there and help the guys with the raft,

but at the same time, it's still nice to be able

to actually have something that is very important to make here

that doesn't involve moving around,

and I'm glad to be able to do it.

Pretty good looking paddle.

Perfect.

[Jeff] I think the first step of the day

is getting maybe 75 feet of cordage or something

-from your two hides. -[Gary] Yeah.

Wheel that thing down by the river.

-Yeah, we need to do that too. -Yeah.

-So, let's, um... -Start cutting some cordage, I guess.

Start cutting some cordage.

We're going to take all the pieces down to the river's edge,

and we're going to construct it there.

Then all we have to do is gently pick it up,

put it in the water, and we're on our way.

[Gary] That's it. You keep tension on one end,

-I keep tension on the other, and we'll work our way down. -Mmm-hmm.

And then, between your cordage and my cordage

from my hides, we should be able to lash this thing...

-[Gary] Yeah. -[Jeff] Down by the river.

[Waz] Probably, like...

...that?

-Yeah? For the pontoon? -[Dan] That's about right.

[Waz]

[Dan] We cut that bamboo yesterday,

and that was allowed to dry.

So, that bamboo is going to be very, very, very light,

and great to work with.

Yeah.

Is that not too thin?

That's, like, half the size of that.

[Steven] I don't think so. I think it's pretty good, actually.

We want two big pontoons.

Probably 24 inches in diameter.

[Dan] And I can kinda pull it back, too, when I do the rest.

[Steven] So, we'll put the spacer in the middle,

and then we'll bow in the front and the back.

[Dan] 'Kay.

We want, uh, two braces in the middle...

Yeah!

[Dan] Okay, that looks good.

[Steven] That looks good, man!

See? That is stability right there.

After we tie both the front and the back together,

the braces are gonna add stability

by adding tension to the two pontoons,

and then we're gonna weave a floor underneath that,

which is gonna add more tension and stability to the boat.

This is, basically, gonna be a torpedo.

-[Waz] Yeah, that's pretty [bleep] solid. -[Dan] Yeah.

Really gorgeous.

-[Waz] Yeah. -[Steven] That's just really gorgeous right here.

[Dan] By the time water pressure and stuff get in there,

it's gonna be, like, prime time.

[Matt] Pretty sure that's a raft, boys.

-[Dan] Cool! -[Steven] Hell, yeah!

-All round, yes! -Whoo!

[Dan] We're gonna float-test it tomorrow morning then?

-[Steven] Yeah! Hell, yeah. -[Dan] Mmm-hmm.

[Gary] Okay, just stop.

Oh, [bleep]!

-Oh. -[Jeff] It was weaker at the...

That sucks!

-[Gary] This is hard. -[Jeff] Yeah.

It just... It's tedious, and it takes a long time.

[Jeff] I do these challenges for one reason:

because I always want to be the best.

And it's kind of a little agonizing right now.

I would love to have this thing done.

I'm an over-planner,

and right now, it's going a little slower than I wanted.

So, I am worried.

How much we got?

[Gary] I'd say about 50.

[Jeff] Fifty? Cool.

-[Gary] Now, let's just take a break. -'Kay.

[Gary] I just wanna lay down.

Building a raft, you know, with hardly any food,

it's pretty rough. You know, you feel it.

And I'm definitely losing mental sharpness.

It's... It's a rough place to be.

[Waz] Yeah, boys. Maiden voyage.

[Dan] Wanna take this down to the river?

-[Steven] Yeah. Hell, yeah. -[Dan] Mmm-hmm.

We gotta go through part of the rapids today.

[Steve] And then see how it rides.

It's super important to find out if it's sound,

it's built right, it's gonna be able to handle the rapids,

it's gonna be able to float what we need

and to handle the currents.

That looks like a boat.

Could try one person on it first?

[Steven] Yeah.

Get on it.

[chuckling] Floats one person pretty good.

Whoo! Heck, yeah, boys!

[Waz] Yeah.

[Dan] It's intense.

Get in the water, it sinks a little bit lower

than I think the other guys were expecting,

but the thing floats.

There we go.

-[Dan] Oh, navigating the rocks! -[Steven] Yeah!

If we get our gear back down there,

I think we'll... I think we'll be doing just fine.

It's, uh, streamline, it's stable.

You gonna walk down to where they dock at all?

[Waz] Yeah, probably should help them pull it out.

Stick it right there, yeah? To the right of that rock in the middle.

[Steven] We were able to test the raft today.

You know, we gotta be cautious,

we gotta do this the smart way

because this river's not the lazy river,

you know, that you just innertube down.

This river is dangerous.

I mean, I know firsthand.

There's another big rock right here.

[Gwen] Yep.

[Steven] These waters are moving incredibly fast.

It's easy to slip, and once you slip,

you're going as fast as that river.

-Straight ahead, but we're gonna wanna go that way. -[Steven] Yeah.

[Dan] Totally insane. I love it.

But it was just, like, traumatic at the same time.

I'm guessing their hearts are skipping a beat right now.

Just keep it straight, you'll be good.

[Dan] When you have one person who's trying to steer it,

you can't really push it in one direction

when it's going around these rapids.

[Waz] Dig in. Dig in on the left. There you go.

-Ohhh! -[Dan] Oh [bleep]!

[Waz] You're all right.

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Stay on! Stay on!

That's it, that's it, that's it.

Get back in, Steven, get back in.

Whoo!

[Waz laughing]

Yeah, boys! Dig in!

Whoo! That's it, that's it, that's it.

[Steven] To the left. There you go.

[Dan] Whoo!

-Whoo! -[Steven] Whoo!

-Yeah! -Yeah, buddy!

[Waz] Yeah, boys!

[Dan] Whoo!

[Steven] We are the A team for a reason.

It's one of the sexiest, prettiest, most agile rafts

I've ever made on a challenge.

-That was intense, man! -Yeah!

[chuckling] That was insane.

[Gary] What's up, buddy?

That's nice!

-[Waz] What's up, buddy? -Does it support one of you guys?

-[Waz] Yeah. -[Gary] Hey, what's up?

That was from bamboo cane? [chuckles]

-[Steven] Ain't that cool? -[Gary] That's pretty cool.

It's, like, a bamboo canoe.

[bleep] That's pretty crafty.

[Waz]

-Yeah! -[Gary] Oh, dude.

That's really cool.

That is one righteous looking bamboo canoe.

I saw the other guys' raft,

and I think if we hit some rapids,

that thing could maybe get beat up.

It's more tender.

It's more streamline, though.

[Dan] One, two, three.

-Perfect. -[Steven] All right

-Yeah, buddy. -Good job!

[Waz] Well done, boys.

[Dan] Considering all we just went through,

it looks exactly the same.

We did it.

Got it to where we needed to.

It sat down a little farther in the water

than we thought, but it's durable as hell.

-It took a beating. -Maneuvered.

-Maneuvered great. -Maneuvered great.

We smashed into some pretty good sized rocks

going at a good clip, and, uh, she still held together.

So, that's a huge win for us.

Uh, we can sleep good tonight.

Uh, just focus on getting our gear together in the morning,

uh, strap it to her, and, uh, and head to the next location.

Paddle five!

-Whoo! -Whoo!

[chuckling]

[Gary] So, I saw their setup.

-[Jeff] Okay. -They left the bamboos super long...

[Jeff] Uh-huh.

...and made a bamboo canoe.

And then they cut a bunch of short pieces...

-Yeah. -...and put between it to make the bow out,

so, there's bench seats and they got a paddle.

[Jeff] Interesting.

-It's pretty good looking. -Wow.

And it's working, huh?

[Gary] It's floating.

-Dan and, uh, Steve. -Oh, right on.

[Gary] They're keeping it down there.

[Jeff] Oh, I see.

Yeah, so, they're ready, like, down there tomorrow.

[Jeff] Oh, interesting.

Here's what I'm saying,

you know, by them parking their raft away from their camp like that...

...someone could theoretically come up...

...push it in the river.

[laughing]

Overnight.

And it's gone.

[laughing]

[Jeff] And then they wake up tomorrow morning,

and what do they have to do? Build another raft.

[Gary chuckling] Holy [bleep]!

[Steven] Our raft's gonna be primo.

Is it safe or is it in the sabotage zone?

[Matt] Yeah, I wonder--

[Steven] We wanna make sure that we're not gonna go down there,

and it's just gonna be a pile of sticks.

[Dan] Or, like, have some lashings cut or something like that.

[Waz] Jeff will go cut that [bleep] for sure.

[Matt] Yeah.

[Waz] Seeing what Jeff's done,

there's no honor or dignity to what he's doing

out here at all.

It's, uh, worrisome.

As long as you, you know, play by the rules, which, technically,

sabotage is allowed in this competition.

And if they can't get one built in one day,

will the whole team be gone?

That's a thought, right?

[Gary] It is a thought.

I can tell you, they would throw me off a cliff

in a second to gain an advantage.

And I know that, and I'm gonna protect myself from that.

And you know what? I might push them first.

[Jeff] By them parking their raft away from their camp like that,

someone could, theoretically, come up...

...push it in the river, and it's gone.

That's a thought, right?

[Gary] It is a thought.

[Steven] We wanna make sure that we're not gonna go down there,

and it's just gonna be a pile of sticks.

[Waz] Jeff doesn't have any access to it.

[Dan] But I think that pretty much answers our...

-[Matt] Yeah. -[Dan] ...our question?

-[Steven] Yeah. -[Waz] Yeah.

[Jeff] You know what, Gary? Old Jeff, he'd do that in a second.

[Gary laughs]

[Jeff] But I'm playing this game differently

than how anyone thinks I am

or expects me to.

Them just thinking I might do that already...

...you know, gives me a little advantage.

-That's my strength here. -[Gary] Yeah.

[Jeff] I don't care about the other team at all.

My mind is absolutely focused,

100% all-in on this raft build.

We're building a raft, baby!

These are the things every survivalist has to master.

I've learned a lot from all of my previous challenges.

I made one in Louisiana.

Made one in the Philippines.

[shouting] This is what I live for right now!

Made one in the Bahamas.

Made one in Colombia.

I've learned the big risk with any raft

is when you get it in the water,

and the logs start moving and shifting...

[Gary] Oh, yeah.

[Jeff] ...what was once tight cordage becomes loose cordage.

[Gary] Oh, this cordage is looking great.

I know. I'm confident this cordage...

...will hold.

We're using dry cork wood for the foundation of the raft,

which is very strong and also floats very well.

[Gary] My end's pretty damn solid.

Oh, hell yeah!

Do you wanna put the two sections of bamboo on here, and then test?

That way, you can be sitting on 'em,

and it'll look kinda badass.

[Gary] Heck, yeah.

We're gonna tie it all together with dry bamboo,

and give it the buoyancy that it needs.

Okay.

-[Gary] And then we tie 'em down. -Yeah.

[Gary] Things are getting real out here.

Tomorrow's migration day, and we gotta hustle.

To finish out the raft, we're gonna have to make sure

it gets our stuff there.

I'm always realistic, and I'm not gonna say,

"Oh, we got this down the river, that's nothing."

No. The river's gonna be hard.

Looks like it.

-Final steps, my friend. -Yeah.

You ready?

[Jeff] Okay? All right, it's yours.

Look at that. That's floating pretty good right there, Gary.

[Gary]

[Jeff] Yeah, I know.

[Jeff chuckles]

[Jeff] Yeah.

I mean, basically, use it as, like, an E-Board.

[Jeff] Yeah.

Yeah.

Yep. Exactly.

[Gary] Really... Yeah, this is gonna be precarious.

The foundation of our raft is a tank.

It's held together with leather, strapping,

and big old logs.

I think it's gonna be rough moving a tank down the river.

[Jeff] All right, cool, let's get this baby out of the water.

I'm very confident that our raft is gonna be strong,

durable, and it will float.

Awesome. I'm happy.

Good job, buddy.

-Think we did it? -Yeah.

And our raft floats!

Ah, it floats, baby.

[Gary] It's gonna be rough, but it floats.

[Jeff] Yeah!

Migration day, my friend.

We've got the best raft, uh, possible, and...

[Gary] Yeah, that we could... That we could make here.

[Jeff] Yeah.

[Gary] Once again, I recommend, when you're behind that raft,

if it gets jammed up,

the current will press you against it.

-Yeah. -Don't think you're safe

-behind that raft. -[Jeff] Right, right.

It's dangerous being in front or behind that raft.

-[Jeff] Yeah. -[Gary] Well...

Time to pack our stuff.

[Jeff] All these hides, all these knives,

every possession I own out here,

these survival items are intricately linked

to me getting to the end of this challenge, stronger than anyone else.

All right, you ready, Gary?

[Gary] I'm pretty much ready, man, as I'm gonna be.

[Jeff] I'm excited to see what the next location holds.

I hope Gary and I can stay in our partnership there,

but we'll just have to see what the new rules are when we get there.

You rockin' and rollin'?

[Gary] Rockin' and rollin'.

Okay, today's the day.

Oh, it was a great decision to move our raft down there yesterday.

We don't have to spend the calories on it,

all we have to do is cruise down.

[Matt] Heck yeah. It might be a little slower than normal guys,

-but, I think we'll be doing all right. -[Dan] You're all good.

There's nothing that says I can't win this competition

even if my leg is messed up.

Savage knows no way but forward,

and I will continue.

I will keep going.

[Steven] Slow and steady.

[Narrator] With their bamboo canoe already in place,

Matt, Waz, Steven and Dan

are taking their gear over by foot.

However, Jeff and Gary

still need to move their raft to the designated launch point.

Once there, the survivalists will receive maps and instructions

about their two mile migration down the river.

[Jeff] One, two, three.

[Gary] Whoa, we're in.

[Jeff] Now, we need to position our gear on top.

I hope to be able to sit on it.

-[Gary] Okay, here you go. -[Jeff] So...

-[Gary] Yeah. -[Jeff] Beautiful.

Sail on outta here.

All right.

[Dan] How you doing, Matt?

[Matt] This is the furthest I've walked in like, three days.

About every fifth step feels like it might tear a calf in half.

[Waz] Matt's obviously, uh, he's on a bit of a go slow.

We don't want him to injure his leg anymore.

And we also need to get out to the launch point as quick as we can.

Just hoping we get there before Jeff.

[donkey brays]

[Matt] Where is the donkey?

[donkey brays]

Full steam ahead!

[Matt] Okay, that's a different jackass over there.

Who wants to pop some champagne, baby?

-Oh, whoo! -[Dan] Oh, I see him.

-[Jeff and Gary whooping] -[Dan] I see him.

[Jeff and Gary yelling]

Whoo!

[Matt] Their raft looks like it's a catastrophe waiting to happen.

The square, you take a square through these kind of rapids

you're gonna get hung up on a lot of rocks.

You're gonna hit the square edges of things

and you're gonna capsize and flip.

And so, down here where all those boulders are to the right,

that's where we need to pick up our map.

[Gary] Our raft's made out of heavy logs.

It's dangerous. We could get sucked under our raft.

If you're in front of it, it could hit you.

[Jeff] Okay, we-- we're about to go.

Turn right, we got a boulder.

Turn right, aggressive right.

[Gary] I don't know, if we're gonna make it

our destination in one piece.

[Jeff] To the right.

[Gary] That's a big fear.

We're about to go over a rock

right here in front of us.

Oh, we need to go to the right.

We need to go to the right.

[Gary] We're hitting rapids on a primitive raft

that barely floats one human.

We have five hides.

You get those babies wet, I think that's gonna be, like, hundreds of pounds.

Oh, there's a rock right in front of me, six feet ahead.

So, we need to go to the left.

[Steven] So you get to this section here, that water picks up.

You're just gonna go from about two miles an hour to about 15-20.

-[Waz] He's-He's coming off that pretty quick. -[Matt] Oh yeah, he's-- yeah.

Oh, yeah.

[Steven] I mean, that-that high of a center of gravity going that, that fast?

[Jeff] Okay, we're get-- we're about to go,

to the right, Gary let's...

[Jeff] Oh [bleep].

All right, there we go...

[Waz] Oh, straight through.

-Straight through. -[Jeff] Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.

Oh, this is nuts!

Oh, big rock.

Big rock. Oh!

Oh. Ah!

[Jeff grunts]

All right, big rock.

[grunts]

[Gary] All right, well...

the boat did exactly the amount of crappiness I thought it would.

[Jeff] So, if you can get us unstuck, I can get here and push back.

[Matt] It's now hung up on a rock.

They've only got a few hundred feet,

and it's already turning into a challenge.

Okay, push, push.

Push.

[Matt] We've been playing this entire thing like a chess game

and are trying to figure out what we need to do to move in place

or a couple moves ahead.

And my doing that, we moved our raft down already.

[Jeff] Okay.

Straight ahead.

[Jeff grunts]

Our maps should be somewhere around here unless we just walked past 'em.

[Waz] Our map's on the rock there.

On the rock to the left in the water.

[Dan] There you go. One for each team.

Take a look at this.

-[Matt] Moment of truth, guys. -[Dan] Whoo.

-Got a hell of a trek. -Whoo.

What's the back say?

[Steven reading] "This map will lead you to your next camp location

and a new test of your survival skills.

You all travel downriver as a group."

[Dan] As one group? Or this might just mean us?

No, I think it-it says we leave as a group.

So, "You all travel as a group."

[Dan] Gotcha.

I got it.

New instructions await when you exit the river at the kudu skull

[Dan] Okay.

-All right I guess we're joining up as a group. -[Steven] Yup.

[Narrator] For safety reasons,

medics must be ready to respond immediately.

So, producers and medical staff

have decided both teams must travel together.

Each primitive raft will navigate two sections of class three rapids,

with jagged boulders and water speeds up to 20 miles an hour

to reach survival zone five,

signified by a kudu skull on the map.

[Matt] We're now gonna have to be stuck in the elements

-with Tweedledee and Tweedledum over there. -[Dan] Yeah.

[Jeff] Straight ahead.

[grunts]

Oh, we're gonna get stuck on a lot of 'em now.

[Steven] We have to stay with Gary and Jeff which, um,

is kind of a bummer, because uh,

their raft is less of a raft and more of like a,

a shipping pallet with bamboo on top.

[Jeff speaking]

[Gary] Okay.

[Jeff speaking]

-[Gary] Yeah. -[Jeff speaking]

[Gary] Okay.

[Steven] You can't steer a square, you can't.

I mean, this ain't Huck Finn cruising down the Mississippi.

This is Oribi Gorge, boulders and-and whitewater.

So, I'm concerned. I wouldn't want to sit on that raft, going through that.

[Jeff] We did it.

Holy moly!

Let's beach it right here.

All right.

[Waz] You made it. Congratulations.

-You made it to the start line. -[Jeff] Yeah.

Yes. All right, push.

Push, push.

-Push it in. -[Steven] Yeah.

-Those rapids, man. -[Steven] Yeah.

[Jeff] I built this raft

uh, the way I've built all of my rafts on my Naked and Afraid challenges

and they've always held up.

But they've always been in lakes, oceans,

slow-moving swamps.

This is a raging river.

[Jeff] Ah, all right.

Let's see where we're going, huh?

All right, it says,

[reading] "This map will lead you to your next camp location

and a new test of your survival skills.

You will all travel downriver as a group."

Oh, the time is now.

-Wow. So right. -[Gray] So, we're going as a group?

Yeah.

[Jeff] Okay.

The challenge has changed again, huh?

[Matt] Yup.

It's crazy.

Well, we're gonna need to make some improvements

before we, uh, hit the river.

Those rapids, man.

Let's, uh, just make some repairs and get it straightened out.

-[Gary] What, uh-- -What the heck?

-You should've made a better boat. -Typically--

-You can't put your gear there, right? -I'm disappointed.

-Matt-- -[Matt] That's not very legendary.

That's the first thing you say when we become a group?

As a group, I got to say, our-one of our boats are not as good as the other.

-[laughs] -[Dan] One of these things is different.

[Waz] One of our boats is not a boat, so...

That's not a boat. I wouldn't say it's a boat.

My problem with Jeff is he's supposed to know how to do these things.

You gotta have the skill first, buddy.

Not just items.

-Please, Matt. -[Matt] You could drive a nice car,

-but it doesn't make you, like-- -You--

-[Matt] Does it make you good? -Matt--

I've spent time with you out there,

and what I've seen, has not been impressed.

I don't have respect for Jeff.

He just doesn't earn it.

I've seen boats.

-Hell, I'm a certified boat captain. -Yeah.

-[Waz] The-- -[Matt] That right there, is not seaworthy, my friends.

[Waz speaking]

[Matt] Yeah. Yeah.

I guess we should've made two.

[Gary] They had four people to build their raft.

There's only two of us to build ours.

They had more heads to put together and design.

They could gather a lot more bamboo,

even getting it in and out of the water.

All right, we're good.

[Matt] If this was competition day,

I would guarantee that Jeff and Gary would be eliminated.

-[Waz] Let's push this in the water. -[Dan] All right, let's go.

[Steven] One, two, three.

[Dan] There we go.

[Matt] I'll try to get in the middle here somewhere.

[Gary] We're gonna wait a bit for them because we'll-we'll hurt them with that.

[Jeff] Yeah, yeah.

[Gary] A 500 pound raft is hard to control.

We couldn't send that thing down behind them, it would--

it would smash 'em and it would kill them.

[Jeff] This is really dangerous.

Somebody is gonna get really hurt.

[Dan] Oh my God.

[Steven] This river is kinda scary.

We got whitewater, we got boulders.

It's gonna be a journey, and hopefully we all make it safe.

Oh, that's some leg jammers.

Turn left, turn left, turn left.

[Jeff] Matt's coming in wounded.

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Hit it good, hit it good.

[Jeff] A river voyage can be very dangerous for someone who's injured.

[Matt] Oh, right side rapid, right side rapid.

[Waz speaking]

[Matt] Oh, right side rapid, right side rapid.

Turn right, right, right.

Hard-hard right, hard right. Back from--

All right, straight through the gap, you guys.

Dan?

Oh, left, left, left, Dan.

Only gone a few hundred feet and it's already turning into a challenge.

-Oh, we're gonna be swinging around... -[indistinct]

[Matt] ...because we lost our back row.

I'm with three guys

who are literally helping me because my leg is hurt.

All right, guys, I'm getting out.

I don't want to sit there when it's safer for us all the four

to be in the water, controlling that raft.

-[Jeff] Let's not get injured. Let's take it slow. -[Gary] Oh, yeah.

Slow.

I'm nervous.

This boat has to float.

"It's not seaworthy." [laughs]

I wouldn't take this thing on an Atlantic voyage,

uh, but it floats.

[Gary] We're hitting rapids on a primitive raft

that barely floats one human.

[Jeff] Right up here.

[Gary speaking]

[Jeff speaking]

[Gary speaking]

[Jeff speaking]

Ah!

[Gary speaking]

[Jeff speaking]

[Gary speaking]

[Jeff speaking]

[Gary] It's made out of heavy logs, our raft.

So, it's dangerous just to be around it

in the river, period.

[Jeff] Can you push your bag up on to the raft?

[Gary] But we're gonna have to hold onto that baby,

make sure it gets our stuff there.

[both grunting]

[Gary] This is gonna be a hard migration.

I don't know if we're gonna make it to our destination in one piece.

[Jeff] Uh-huh.

[Gary] I don't know what the rapids are like down there.

I'm gonna find out.

[Gary yells] Ahh!

[Matt speaking]

Ah, pinch in my leg. Oh [bleep].

Ohhh!

-[Steven] You all right? -[Matt] Yup.

Just, what we didn't want it to do, right?

Ah [bleep]!

[bleep] leg is gonna be fat [bleep].

Whew, leg is gonna be back to ground zero after this [bleep].

This leg injury is no joke. It hurts like hell

But, I know today's gonna be a painful journey.

[Dan] Immediately we realize the rapids are stronger than we anticipated.

[Matt speaking]

[Waz speaking]

[Steven speaking]

First set of rapids is a doozy.

This raft is hitting rocks hard.

It's getting stuck on top of 'em.

If we're not careful, somebody could get hurt.

Waz, you all right?

[Matt speaking]

[Waz] We're going over these rapids,

hitting rocks underwater.

We're getting bruised up in the backs, bruised up in the legs.

It's absolutely brutal doing this.

We've only gone about 80 to 100 yards,

and we've got two miles.

[Jeff] All right, are we ready for this?

[Gary] Let's wait, because I don't wanna harm them.

-'Cause it'll kill them. -[Jeff] It'll kill them.

If we let go right now,

it would strike 'em, hit 'em.

-Somebody would die. -[Gary] Yeah.

[Dan yells]

[Matt] All right.

[Matt] Yeah.

[indistinct conversation]

[Matt speaking]

[all grunting]

[Matt] Guys in three, back end over, back end over.

Back end towards you, Waz.

Keep trying.

This raft, we get stuck on a, on a rock.

The four of us,

we barely have to talk.

We can communicate. We can get things off, unstuck.

One, two, three.

[grunting]

[Steven speaking]

[Matt speaking]

We're in a small eddy right here, we're in a eddy.

After getting through the first set of rapids,

we're like, hey, unscathed. Boat looks fantastic.

Gear is dry. Everything's ready to go.

Then we realize, we're waiting on Jeff and Gary.

-[Jeff] We might not be able to control it. -[Gary] All right.

[Jeff] Wait-- hold on, hold on.

[Matt] And their poorly designed uh, thing they made,

is never gonna make it.

[Gary] Here, hold those these corners.

Hold this corner. Now, now don't get in front of this.

[Waz] Watching Jeff and Gary bring that raft down,

not very maneuverable.

It's not very streamlined.

Looks like it could get dangerous.

Pull, pull.

-Push, push, push. Push, push, push, push. -Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, brother.

[both grunting]

[Gary] Oh, [bleep].

[Jeff] Yeah.

[Matt speaking]

[Gary yells]

[Jeff] We might not be able to control it.

-[Gary speaking] -[Jeff] Yeah.

[Matt speaking]

[Gary yells]

[Gary] Ah!

I went head down, feet up for a while, underwater,

wondering when my head was going to hit a rock and knock me out.

That God it didn't happen.

[Matt] Any one of us could have just drowned.

More?

[Matt] This is no normal Naked and Afraid migration.

We're getting beat up by rocks and rapids,

and their raft is already looking too rough.

Their gear's already wet.

[Jeff speaking]

Hey Jeff! I'll walk up there.

[Jeff] Gary and I, we had no idea

that there were this level of rapids on this river.

This raft isn't going to hold up.

I'm just praying it makes it to the finish line,

because all of these items I've accumulated for the past month

are on this thing.

I have to get my items to this new location.

[Jeff speaking]

[Gary] We wanna keep our raft, but we can't control it.

It's plain and simple, you can't control it.

So we have to take our stuff off the raft,

and we have to send the raft down

and then put it back on the raft when it's safer.

[Dan speaking]

[Steven speaking]

[Matt speaking]

[Steven speaking]

[Matt] His raft is stuck on a rock and he's stuck with [bleep] there.

Literally.

What's he gonna do with all of his stuff?

[Matt] We're traveling as a group now

and, uh, we're gonna have to wait for them.

taking our survival

and, uh, stepping it back.

Three.

[Jeff] And then we'll walk it all the way down.

[Matt] We're gonna be here a little while, guys.

-You guys wanna-- -[Steven] Tied to the reeds over there?

[Dan] This is why you build a raft

that actually works and can go through rapids.

[Waz speaking]

Yeah. Hurry up!

Come on, guys!

[Dan] This is a migration day. We're getting to a new location,

We're gonna have to learn the lay of the land

a little bit and set up a shelter,

and get water and that takes time.

And you don't want to be doing that in the middle of the night.8

[Dan] Don't worry, guys. We're, like, a tenth of the way there.

[Matt speaking]

[Gary] Wow, this is really crappy behavior.

[Jeff speaking]

I'm gonna send it.

I'm just gonna go for it.

This river is terrifying.

All right. Ready, guys?

Looks like it's time to go.

[Matt] We got to wait till they latch their [bleep] on.

It's gonna, like, make--

[Dan] Let's just get down the next rapids.

[Waz] Our raft seems to be holding up quite well.

[cheers]

[Waz] It's also giving us a little bit of buoyancy.

We're able to hold onto it, lift ourselves up

a little bit higher in the water so we're not hitting

as many rocks or we're not hitting the rocks as hard.

[Gary] One, two, three.

[Narrator] Both teams have moved one mile down the river

but still have another mile to go.

Already fatigued, they must cross

the fastest moving section of the class III rapids.

[Dan speaking]

[Jeff laughs]

-[Jeff] Well. -It's actually making noise.

[Matt speaking]

[Jeff] That's all rapids.

This is the worst rapid.

Let's let them go.

I don't wanna put it behind them, that'll kill them.

The raft we have would kill you if it hits you.

I was telling Jeff we gotta wait

'cause we couldn't send that thing down

behind them. It would-- It would smash 'em

and it would kill them.

Let's go, go, go.

Matt.

[Matt] Gary and Jeff are just sitting there waiting.

You know, it's frustrating as hell

because this day is turning into an all-day adventure.

Go on.

Right there, guys.

Hey, Matt, you didn't have to go there,

you didn't have to-- I was actually being helpful.

I was being helpful, dude.

I was being helpful, dude. I was being helpful.

I was being-- Matt, I was being helpful.

Get your ass down it.

Go, go!

Get your ass down it.

Go, go!

Go!

-They have no idea how much we're looking out for 'em. -[Jeff] Yeah, yeah.

This isn't too bad.

We'll stick to the right and ease it down the whole way.

We're gonna push the raft,

it's gonna go down the big rapid.

Do we wanna go down behind it

and, uh, and leave our items on here?

-No. We-- We'll never make it. -Yeah. Okay.

[Matt] We can't go to the right.

It's too shallow in there.

We gotta go all the way to the left

down this path over here.

-[Steven] You sure? -[Matt] Yep.

[Steven] All right.

[exclaiming]

-[bleep] -[exclaiming]

[Dan] We're going through this intense set of rapids.

I'm on one side of the boat, Steven's on the other.

And I can see his face.

And he's just screaming in agony

over and over and over again.

His ribs are getting hit by rocks.

[bleep]

[groans]

[Gary] We could probably take off now.

[Gary speaking]

[exclaims]

[cheering]

Holy [bleep].

As we're going through these rapids,

my body is like a rag doll...

...at the will of the river.

If Gary and I get our fingers, arms or legs

trapped under one of these boulders,

our bones will shatter.

[groans]

Oh!

[groans]

[Jeff grunts]

This is absolutely the most dangerous thing

I have ever done on a Naked and Afraid challenge.

[exhales]

[Gary speaking]

[Jeff speaking]

[Waz speaking]

Gary and Jeff seem to be having a lot of dramas.

They can't keep their gear tied on,

and they can't stay on their raft

or-- or even with their raft.

Sometimes, their raft's getting stuck on rocks.

[Gary speaking]

[Waz] So we're just pulling over at the end of every rapids

-and waiting for them to catch up. -[grunting]

[Waz] It's a long process.

-So we're gonna have to hold them spread out... -[Jeff] Yeah.

-...as we go. -[Jeff] I'm just tying them together

so we don't lose them.

[Waz] River rafting's something I've done a lot

and you have to know it's like a good technique.

We have a streamlined, a nice, thin raft

so we can get through the small gaps.

[cheering]

[both grunting]

[Gary] It's our job to keep the bamboos under our bags,

so we concentrate on that as we walk.

[Waz] We're definitely feeling this journey.

The water's pretty cold so it's sucking the heat out of our bodies.

We're losing dexterity in our fingers and toes and legs and stuff.

And we've still got a fair hike to go

and it's already putting us to the test

so it's just one of those ones we're gonna have to endure

and keep pushing.

[Narrator] Battling the river for the last three hours,

both teams are now a quarter mile from the finish line.

But there is one last section of class III rapids

before the kudu skull.

[Dan speaking]

[Waz] Jesus! There's just rocks up there.

The sooner we get across to the left, the better,

'cause it looks like there's a channel.

[Steven] Good.

-Push it left. -[Dan] Got it.

[Matt] We need to position that raft

in a way that hits the rapids correctly.

By just looking ahead,

you can see if you got to go left of one boulder, right of another.

We're executing the part

of those rapids in which we know is safest.

I can see the skull.

You can see the skull?

-Oh, yes. -I can see the skull.

[Dan] Oh, yes!

-[Waz] That rock right there. -[Steven] Big ol' kudu.

[Matt] Big ol' kudu.

Boys, we just built a hell of a boat.

-We did. -Yeah, we did.

-But here on up-- -It held up perfectly.

This thing has travelled two miles down the rapids.

-Yeah. -In the middle of Africa.

Thank God.

Me and my team killed it down the river.

Just, I mean, we're beaten and broken though.

Leg hurts like a son of a bitch.

Right when I've been doing so good with it, you know?

You couldn't do more to an injured leg if you tried

than throw it into this washing machine of a rapid.

It has beaten my leg down.

The leg's already injured, now it's also bruised.

Hyperextended.

[Jeff speaking]

[bleep]

[Jeff screaming]

[bleep]

[both exclaiming]

[Gary] When we hit the last rapid,

the raft, it just... [whooshes] ...blows apart.

Jeff tries to salvage it

and float down on one log with a bunch of bamboo.

I can't do it. I give up.

[Jeff] It's a bamboo fire sale right now. [laughs]

Hundreds of pieces of bamboo floating down this river.

But I can finally see the finish line.

[Gary] Oh, my God.

I'm just holding my bag

and we're just drifting with blown apart raft all around us.

Just trying to keep my head above water because two pelts,

those things weigh as much as me when they're wet.

It's just hell.

[coughs]

I'm weak.

Tired.

-[Matt speaking] -[Gary shouts]

[Matt speaking]

[Gary shouting]

[Matt speaking]

[Jeff] Holy crap.

The rapids appear to be ending.

I can finally see the finish line.

and I'm literally holding on to my last

few pieces of bamboo.

The river's flattening out

and, oh! Gary and I can take a breath

for the first time. [chuckles]

[laughing]

Oh, my God.

Making it to the end, I...

We went till the wheels fell off.

Uh, I guess we went till the logs fell off.

If we had to go any further, I don't know what we would've done.

It was the most dangerous thing I think I've ever done

in my life.

It was scary as hell.

We made it. We all made it.

[Jeff] This is what I live for! [laughs]

Yes!

All right.

[Matt] What the [bleep] are you celebrating?

I'm not talking to you. [laughing]

[Matt] You guys are the happiest failures I've ever seen.

[Matt] Gary and Jeff no longer have a raft.

These two are lucky to have made it out of this alive.

It's amateur hour.

-[Steven] Embarrassing. -[Dan] It's...

[Matt] They call themselves competitors? Ha!

-Not even close. -[Matt] No.

-I could've done that alone better. -Yeah.

[Gary] We're going down the river and the other team's acting mean about it.

No cheering on and they just...

[imitating]

[Matt] I was asking if you needed help

but you weren't listening.

Go on.

Right there, guys.

Hey, Matt, you didn't have to go there.

You didn't have to-- I was actually being helpful.

Matt's ego engaged...

Matt, I was being helpful.

...and so he didn't wanna be seen receiving help

from us.

But it was me, it was Gary.

It wasn't Jeff, it was Gary.

[Matt] No, what was weird is you won't [bleep] listen.

[Gary speaking]

All right, guys, let's get outta here.

[Jeff] It might not have been pretty

but every single one of my items

has arrived safely to this new location.

[sighs wearily]

[Waz] You good, Matt? Need any help?

[Dan] You okay, buddy?

[Matt] My leg was healing but, uh, two miles of rough riding rapids

have dropped me back down a little bit.

That's no worry.

[sighs]

[Waz] Stretch that [bleep] out. Don't push it anymore.

Sorry, man, you have to go through that.

All right.

[Jeff] I'm excited for the new environment

and what's to come, but I'm nervous

how the challenge may change.

"By choosing this map, you've chosen a campsite.

So you will live in two camps of three.

From now on, there are no teams.

You all compete as individuals until only one remains."

It's based on the random skull you have on the map you pull.

-I have, like, the waterbuck. -[Steven] Wildebeest.

-And I have a curled horned one. -So do I.

So mine has a wildebeest.

Steven has a wildebeest. Stoked.

Jeff has a wildebeest as well.

Not so excited about that.

Gary, Matt, and I.

Yep, Gary, Matt and I.

-Me, Dan, and Steven. -Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

-It's a, uh-- -That's that.

[Narrator] In their pursuit to be the last one standing,

the remaining survivalists will spend the next ten days

in zone five competing as individuals.

Tomorrow morning, they will receive zone five maps

marked with new caches.

The next elimination challenge is three days away.

-I guess today we just get to camp. -Okay.

-Cool. -Let's go look for a camp site.

Uh, I'll catch up if need be, I'm just gonna grab my shoes.

I don't wanna tear my feet up, they're all soaked and soft.

[Steven] I end up with Jeff

which I am, uh, not super ecstatic about.

His whole entire personality has changed

seven times on this challenge.

And sometimes, you're best friends.

Uh, the other day, I was the biggest bully on the planet.

I don't know which Jeff I'm getting.

Ignore the [bleep] and, uh...

And you do-- You play how you want

but my suggestion is, from the get-go,

you shut down his [bleep].

Tell him, "Stop talking to me.

Listen, I'm here, I'm sleeping next to you

'cause I have to. And the rest of it's shut the [bleep] up."

[Jeff] Am I doing something wrong?

[Matt] No, no. No, we're just assessing to get our [bleep] off.

-[Jeff] Oh, um, can-- -[Matt] We're just, we're just--

Can I help you?

Can I start handing stuff?

-[Matt] No, we're just- -[Dan] No, you're good.

-We're just staring. -I'm right here, guys.

-Yeah, we're just-- -Here.

-Are you sure? -[Dan] No, Jeff, we're fine. We're fine.

-Are you? Okay. -[Matt] Yeah, yeah. It's-- Yeah.

-I mean... -[Matt] It's just one of those, looking at...

Looking at our [bleep].

[Jeff] No, if I-- if I can help, please, let me know.

[Dan] We're all good.

[Jeff] I have a feeling that the others

are gonna ramp up their attacks on me.

It's only evident that the dislike for me is getting worse.

God [bleep] willing.

-Three days, another [bleep] elimination. -[Steven] Yeah.

It'll solve our problems in three days.

[Steven] Yeah, 72 hours.

[Narrator] For this competition, the PSR,

or primitive survival rating,

weighs an individual's survival skills and items collected

to determine the likelihood of becoming the Last One Standing.

Steven was a leader in building the raft...

[Steven] We want two big pontoons.

Tie both the front and the back together.

The S.S. Oribi Gorgeous right here

Push it left.

...allowing his team to successfully navigate class III rapids.

Boys, we just built a hell of a boat.

[Narrator] This increases his PSR from 9.2 to 9.3.

[Jeff speaking]

[Narrator] The raft that Jeff designed deteriorated

before crossing the finish line...

[Gary speaking]

...decreasing his PSR from 9.2 to 9.0.

[exclaims] Pinch in my leg. [groans]

Leg is gonna be back to ground zero after this [bleep].

[Narrator] A leg injury continues to put

Matt's challenge in jeopardy

dropping his PSR from 9.6 to 9.4.

One, two, three!

[Narrator] For more PSR information,

visit Discovery.com slash PSR.

[Dan] Ready? One, two drop.

No more teams. We're all competing as individuals,

but we're going to be living in two groups of three.

[Waz] What are you all taking?

There's knives and stuff over here.

You guys taking 'em with you?

[Steven] Yeah, I got mine.

Steven, you want your fishing line with us?

[Steven] Yeah. I'll take that.

[Dan] We have the greatest arsenal of gear I've ever had

on any sort of Naked and Afraid challenge,

and we're gonna share it equally, and we're all on the same page there.

[Matt] To have a little bit of dry left on this thing?

[Steven] Yeah, I have a little bit of dry

-on my hide. -[Waz] That's impressive.

-You did? -[Steven] I'd say that's a success.

[Matt chuckling] Yeah.

[Gary] I'm camping with Matt and Waz.

There's a lot going on.

Their behavior coming down the river,

it hurts a little.

Do they have enough consideration to care about what I must be going through?

[Matt] So I guess this is our camp somewhere in here, guys.

Mmm-hmm. We got a couple hours of sunlight left,

so we should be able to make good work of this.

This is the first time we've got to a new location

and we don't have a camp map.

It leaves a few questions on the table.

How long are we staying here?

What sort of things are gonna be on offer?

We have to wait till tomorrow for that.

[Dan] Looks like a campsite.

-Here we are. -[Jeff] Okay.

[Steven] Flat, pretty good coverage.

A nice canopy, huh?

We could probably right here, honestly.

-Right here? -I-- I like this.

-Yeah? It's tight. -Yeah.

-Fire right here? -Yeah.

I know things have been bumpy for 32 days

but we got two more weeks to make the best of it, huh?

[Steven] Yep, sure.

-Always love you, man. -You too.

I'm, uh, not stoked about being with Jeff.

We were friends for the longest time

and came out here, he played a game

and tried to villainize me and--

and turn me into a bully, into something that I'm not.

Get a fire going, then cowboy camp.

[Dan] Fire loves chaos. Ow!

It's gonna be an interesting campout.

Jeff lives in this weird fantasy land

despite calling us all bullies,

and all of this stuff

that I don't think he even believed himself.

He's just, I think, trying to be manipulative.

Jeff has this weird way

of acting like everything's just totally okay.

[Jeff] God, doesn't it feel so much better

-when [chuckles] fire turns on? -[Dan] Yeah, it does.

[Jeff laughs]

It just like, the situation improves a lot.

So I'm gonna need some--

Set some clear guidelines and expectations right away

before we start living together.

-[Dan] Hey, Jeff? -[Jeff] Yes, sir.

[Dan] I wanna talk about something really quick first.

[Jeff] Okay, shoot. Let's roll.

[Dan] Like,

-[Jeff] It's for the-- -I'm really not impressed

with how you play the game so far,

and I don't wanna be your friend.

-[Jeff chuckles] Okay. -I wanna just like,

Okay.

[Dan] set some boundaries there from the start, okay?

-[Jeff] I-- I appreciate honesty, Dan. -[Dan] Yeah.

[laughs]

[Jeff] Honestly, I think that's the first time,

maybe anyone's ever said that to me in my life, actually.

[laughs] So, um,

yeah, yeah, I won't try to, you know,

be your friend, or whatever,

but, you know, we'll-- we'll make it friendly.

They took things next level today.

We all put our lives in danger on that river,

and they were laughing at Gary and I.

They-- they were laughing at our struggle.

I've never, I've never laughed

[chuckles softly] at anyone's struggle out here.

[Waz speaking]

[Gary speaking]

[Waz speaking]

[Gary] I understand they don't like Jeff, but...

you don't talk to me like that

when I'm struggling down the river.

Harass the [bleep] out of Jeff all you want.

But you don't be inconsiderate to me,

I'm not a second-class citizen.

I'm not one you're gonna just push around and kick around.

[Matt] Might as well use the fire to boil, I guess.

[Gary speaking]

[Waz speaking]

-[Gary speaking] -[Waz speaking]

[Gary speaking]

-[Waz speaking] -[Gary speaking]

-[Gary speaking] -[Waz speaking]

[Gary speaking]

[Matt] So I walked away to get water, came back.

Waz and Gary were yelling.

[Gary speaking]

I'm being genuine. I'm being real.

'Cause even your friends could [bleep] with you,

and gotta put 'em in their place.

[Matt] Gary, just so you know from my side,

and, uh...

-[Gary laughs] -And, uh, so, I--

I come across--

[Gary speaking]

[Matt] And I-- And I come--

I come across and like,

-[Gary] I'm sorry, too, dude. -[Matt] Okay.

-[Matt] Appreciate you, Gary. -[Gary] Yeah.

[Gary] I-- I understand.

I'm not mad at him now. It's all good.

[Matt chuckles]

[Gary] I bet you--

-I thought you were [bleep] with me. -[Matt] No.

[Matt] Even though Gary and I,

we had a misunderstanding on the river,

there's no hard feelings between the two of us.

We understood that that was the loud rapids talking

and the-- the stress of the river.

-[Gary speaking] -[Matt speaking]

[Jeff] It's the morning of day 33.

Uh, I am supposed to have a couple bunkmates now.

But as you can see,

Dan here,

he's over, uh, visiting with Team Bully.

And Steven is supposed to be right here,

and he's also over, chilling with Team Bully.

[Steven] Today's obviously map day.

-Today's obviously cache day. -[Waz] Mmm-hmm.

And when it's elimination day,

when it's challenge day, you know,

we brotherly contend and, you know,

that's what we do.

-[Waz] Mmm. -[Dan] Yeah, but--

[Steven] We are gonna be more successful working together

-Yeah. -to get this-- these done.

-Just like we have been from day one. -[Dan] ...

[Steven] I mean, we're right here at the finish line.

We got like, ten-- ten plus days left.

Like, we're almost there, so.

[Waz] I think, as far as strategy goes,

-at this point of time in the game, -[Dan] Keep it.

[Waz] we have zero choice but all to go for meat,

if there's meat available.

We have to go for food.

We kind of should have someone on Jeff the whole time,

because if he finds the meat first,

-he might pick the bones up as he goes. -[Matt] Yeah.

[Waz] Well, if he keeps standing under a tree

and the meat's in that thing,

get up there and put hands on and say, "It's mine."

So we've gotta work as a team to get to that meat cache,

and just hoping we get there before Jeff.

These caches are integral for us.

[Jeff] We're all headed over to that, uh, map.

-[Dan] Yep. -[Matt] All right, let's do it.

[Waz] This one especially is the one

that's gonna help us to the finish line.

[Matt] Slow and steady wins the race,

as they say.

[Matt] If I was to say,

I don't have any fear of being eliminated

because of my leg injury,

I'd be lying to you.

[Matt groans]

I'm gonna have to perform way better than anyone else

just to have a chance of winning.

That right now, is weighing heavy on my--

on my soul.

[groans]
