Original subtitles

[Cheeny] This is different.

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

[man 1] You've got to watch your back for not just animals this time,

but for the other survivalists.

[Gary screaming]

[man 2 screaming] Yeah!

[Sarah groaning]

[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...

[whooping]

[laughs]

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

Yeah!

...and win $100,000

This is what I live for!

[narrator] Failure means elimination.

[man] This challenge is so real.

[narrator] Who will be the last one standing?

Previously on Last One Standing...

Your next migration will take you

two miles downriver.

[narrator] The survivalists were tasked

with making rafts for the first river migration.

[Jeff] This river is terrifying.

Somebody would die.

-[Dan speaking] -[Gary groaning]

[narrator] While Gary and Jeff narrowly avoided serious injury,

Matt's injured leg

-came out the worse for the wear. -[Matt] Oh [bleep].

This leg injury is no joke.

It hurts like hell.

[Jeff] I have a feeling that

the others are gonna ramp up their attacks on me.

[narrator] With only 12 days remaining,

and three elimination challenges looming,

the competitors are racing to recover maps

that will reveal new caches in zone 5.

[Matt] I know what I'm capable of,

but now I have to do it, literally,

with one leg behind me.

But at the same time, I'm using that

warrior spirit inside that says,

"You know what? There's no giving up."

Just because my leg's injured doesn't mean

I don't have any good a chance as I ever did.

[Jeff] I'm among the front runners of the entire group,

only second behind Dan,

which is huge.

when I'm doing this by myself.

[Dan] Got it, guys.

[Gary speaking]

[Gary] "Navigate through the razor grass to find a survival tool."

"Look north-west, through the keyhole,

to guide you to a fishing asset."

"Track feathers to hunting grounds."

[narrator] Three different caches

will be available in this location.

A survival asset in the razor tall grass

with blades capable of slicing skin that brushes against it.

A fishing asset on the river banks.

And a meat cache

camouflaged in the heavily-forested hunting grounds.

"Feathers to the hunting ground."

[Steven] Probably gonna go for the hunting ground.

I'm gonna be going for the hunting grounds,

'cause I know the others won't share anything.

At this point in the challenge,

protein, obviously, is a much more valuable resource.

It's gonna take everything I got to get to day 45.

It's all the way over that side of the lake.

Yeah, our strategy with the meat cache is that

someone has to be always on Jeff.

Dan's really quick moving through this thick brush.

Dan can stay a lot closer and tighter.

[Dan] I start running for the meat cache immediately.

I'm the quickest one in our group by far,

and Jeff is known for sprinting around on these challenges, too.

So immediately I try to stay on Jeff,

and he's five steps ahead of me.

[narrator] Survivalists chasing the meat cache

must track feathers from the aggressive Egyptian goose,

known to lose their feathers

attacking intruders who encroach on their territory.

[Dan speaking]

So right now I'm headed towards

the feather.

I can see on the map that there's an island

in the middle

of the river, so I may be getting close.

You know, I've got navigational

and survival tracking skills

that I'm gonna be able to complete this challenge.

[Dan] Where do you think you're going?

[Jeff] Apparently, Dan's strategy was to

tail me everywhere I go,

thinking, if I follow Jeff, he'll lead me right to it.

-[Dan] Waz. Hurry. -[Waz] Yeah?

[Dan] Where you at? Hurry.

[Jeff] Yeah, you guys better hurry.

-[Dan] Keep talking. -[Jeff pants]

You better hurry real damn fast.

I am slow, because I have

significant leg injury.

So I don't exactly

have the ability to keep up with others

on this trail right now.

Because of that,

my best bet is probably going to be

find a fishing asset.

[narrator] To locate the fishing asset,

Matt will need to track a piece of driftwood in the river.

Then he must identify a keyhole.

North-west from the keyhole

will reveal the location of the hidden fishing item.

[Matt] I'm gonna kinda work down the side of the river,

look across to see if I can't spot the driftwood,

and look for something I see no one else looking for at the moment.

Even though my leg is screaming on fire,

I'm still able to swim.

[Waz speaking]

[Dan] Keep going.

[Jeff] Everyone's tracking the feathers

because everyone is so hungry.

They need some food,

we're burning so many calories every day.

[mouthing]

-[Waz] We're looking for feathers, yeah? -[Dan] Yeah.

[Jeff] I might not be able to compete with five

on an even playing field,

but if I'm smarter than everyone else,

if I use more strategy than everyone else,

I can flip the tables.

I was the first one to find the feather.

I started picking up all the feathers,

putting them in my bag.

As I walked around,

I'd toss feathers

on random trails

and create paths that lead to nowhere.

Anything I can do

to keep them off the trail.

Whoa! Up here!

[chuckling] I'm having fun.

This is my playground out here.

[Matt speaking]

On the map it says, "Look for the keyhole,

go north-west to find the fishing asset."

Well, straight west is gonna be that way,

north that way.

And it brought the bearing to right in this slash here.

This patch of grass is my bearing.

It could be slightly off, I have no compass.

What I'm doing now is basing it off off

my orientation on the map

and where the river's orientated on the map.

And this is giving me a pretty,

a pretty narrow, you know, slot to look through.

Knowing that my leg is still not too good,

the only way for me

to handle this situation

is to put everything I've got.

I'm gonna keep pushing harder than anybody.

That is my nature. That is how I want to take this challenge on.

[Waz] Dude, I've not seen one feather.

-[Steven] Not one at all? -[Waz] No.

He might've just picked a few up

and just left it, he might come back another time.

Kept dropping 'em?

[Waz] He's not gonna find it while we're on him.

[Jeff] Seems like you're following me everywhere I go, Dan.

-[Dan] I don't know. -Is that a strategy?

[Dan] Not really.

[Jeff] Based on the first 33 days,

I'd say it's a pretty good one.

You can follow me across that finish line, too.

[Dan] I think, with some of the feathers,

Jeff has been trying to

pretend to pick 'em up,

or plant 'em, that kind of thing,

try to do stuff without me seeing it.

[Jeff] You know that saying, Dan?

[Dan] Hmm?

If you always follow the leader,

all you're ever gonna do is follow the leader.

[Dan] That's what I've heard.

[mouthing]

[sighs]

Well, I've, um,

I've now lost the trail.

Um, and, uh,

I'm heading back to get some water.

I don't think...

I don't think this is worth it.

It's hard. [sighs]

[mouthing]

They're all falling for every trick I throw at 'em.

This has been my strategy from the beginning.

They are all, literally,

on a wild goose chase right now.

That'll keep 'em busy,

and now I can go after the other items.

Yeah, baby.

Looking up.

Looking down.

I had the feather trail.

Lost it in this thick stuff.

Gonna go back to the last

feather location

and, uh...

see if I can pick it back up.

I'm trying to use my skills as a tracker,

but, man, it's really hard.

I have been struggling

in this challenge and, um,

we haven't had protein in ten days.

And everybody wants it,

because it is the most valuable cache that there is.

So I can see Matt on the other side of the river.

Matt's looking for the fishing item.

But Matt's injured right now, so that's all he can really do.

Meanwhile,

all my competitors are chasing some false feathers.

It says,

about 300 feet from the river.

We're like,

you know, I think,

they could be too far up.

So we're still searching for that meat cache.

We're looking for it,

and not seeing feathers.

And it's just very, very frustrating.

Did you come this path?

[Dan] Uh, I think so. Something like that.

I'm gonna head back down the hill

because I have not seen a feather since I've been up here.

There's a chance we're following feathers that,

uh, Jeff placed.

[Dan] Maybe.

And I don't feel like we should be this far up.

I'm thinkin'

maybe I'll help with the fishing asset.

To me, it makes more sense

to spread out the eyes of the team.

[Jeff] I have some burlap

from one of the previous items I found.

And I have a piece of corkwood.

I'm gonna wrap up the piece of corkwood

to make it look like a fishing asset.

I'm just gonna make them think I have it

so I can them to stop looking.

It means none of us will find it,

which puts me on

even playing ground with everyone else.

Right now, it's five versus one.

But if they don't have it and I don't have it,

it's even.

I feel like I'm playing with a bunch of children out here.

They didn't know what they signed up for.

[Matt] Doesn't say exactly the degrees north-west.

North-west is pretty varied. North-west is...

is a lot of degrees to north-west.

I've been looking for this fishing cache

for about an hour or so.

And at this point, my leg, it hurts like hell.

Gonna take a little break.

-[Jeff] Hey, buddy. -[Matt] Oh, hey.

-[Jeff] How are you? -[Matt] Not too bad.

-[Jeff] Your leg doing all right? -[Matt] Yeah.

-What's that? -I could care less.

I... I just...

-I'm gonna keep things close to my chest. -Yeah.

I don't really need it, so I don't really care.

-Good luck. -[Jeff] Okay.

[Matt] We'll talk later.

-[Jeff] Take care, Matt. -[Matt] You too.

You know, we've been playing this entire thing like a chess game.

Trying to figure out what we need to do to move and place

for a couple of moves ahead.

And I'm not about to give Jeff an inch.

I haven't been to that side yet.

Hopefully there's a feather up here.

I know the game that Jeff is playing.

I know him better than anybody.

But everybody else is playing a different game.

So I see a feather in a tree over there.

Here's another one.

[exhales sharply] Getting there.

Here's one.

I'm finding

a feather about every 45 to 50 steps.

I know for sure I'm finding it.

There's two more.

Here we go.

[Steven] So I see a feather in a tree over there.

Here's another one.

[exhales sharply] Getting there.

Here's one.

I'm finding

a feather about every 45 to 50 steps.

I know for sure I'm finding it.

There's two more.

Here we go. Yeah!

Yes!

Yeah!

[whooping triumphantly]

Look at that goose, baby.

[whooping]

Yes!

Yes!

This means a lot for us,

uh, for the next...

You know, this is gonna be food for us.

Um, this is gonna give us

sustenance for the next few days.

We haven't had protein in a long time.

This right here, this is

the most important food cache that we've had yet.

This is a score.

[Waz] You little ripper!

[Steven] Yeah!

[Waz] Yeah!

-[Steven] Yeah! -[Waz whooping]

[bleep] yeah!

[Steven] The main goal was finding the meat cache,

and I found it.

And that feels really good.

Makes me feel happy

for my team and myself.

Jeff's not getting one bite of this, he doesn't deserve it.

[Steven] Nope.

[Waz] Uh, he's proven himself over the last 33 days,

and, uh,

-that kind of person doesn't get any help from me or... -[Steven] No.

...or any of my guys.

And it's, uh, it's game time.

[Jeff] I'm gonna go across the river,

I'm gonna celebrate

like you've never seen me celebrate before.

Everyone here is gonna hear that and think,

Jeff just found the fishing asset.

[Gary] Hey, bro.

That's the log with the keyhole?

-[Gary speaking] -[Jeff] Yeah, so this is north-west.

All right. [chuckles] We'll see what happens.

I'm gonna pretend that I'm looking at the map right now.

And I'm just getting ready for my celebration.

If it works... Oh, my God.

Hey, Gary.

Are you ready for some...

Are you ready for some fun?

[screaming] Yes!

[screaming] Yes!

This is what I live for!

This is what I live for right now!

[whooping]

Yeah. I hear a narcissist in the distance.

The luckiest!

I mean, so obnoxiously yelling.

-[Steven] Still. -[Matt] That's a child.

That's a petulant child right there.

Little petulant child.

[whooping] Take that

South Africa!

[Matt] Sure, you find something.

You're still a [bleep] adult, Jeff.

Like, act like one.

I think I'm gonna play this one

a little close to my chest.

Jeff just found the fishing asset.

Gary, I feel horrible.

I just got here,

and I jump on it. What?

I have no idea what it is, and he doesn't want to share.

And I don't blame him.

What kind of world.

I couldn't have planned this any better.

I guess this saves you from searching for another five hours.

[Gary] It was like he knew where it was. I stepped right over

five minutes before. Maybe three minutes before.

I stepped right over it, and then he stepped on it.

Right now, I'm gonna go see about that survival tool.

I officially have showed up

and I've decided to play the game.

What's up, guys?

-[Steven] What's up, buddy? -[Matt] Hey, what's up?

Heard you whisperin'. Did you find somethin'?

[Jeff chuckles] You heard that, huh?

[Matt speaking]

That fishing asset there, you found it pretty quick.

[Jeff speaking]

Yeah? Like, I mean, I barely

made it over to the other side.

Same area that, I guess you guys were already searching...

Oh, yeah. Just under water a little bit?

-[Jeff] Yeah. -How deep do you think?

Seven inches.

On the other side of the big rock?

-Or on this side of... -The other side.

-The other side? Deeper... -Right on the other side.

What was it? Was it a net?

-Um... -[Matt] Or a fish hook or what?

I, um...

Or you don't want to say? I mean, I...

I don't know if I've made up my mind yet.

-Okay. Okay. -[Jeff chuckles]

-Yeah, I... -It doesn't matter.

-Yeah. -[Matt] I don't want any of it.

-Yeah. I know. -[Matt] Just curiosity.

-It's all good. -I know. I know.

[Jeff] Yeah?

Whoa!

Whoa!

Steven!

[Steven] Egyptian goose.

Dude!

Great job, bro.

[Steven] Yeah, buddy.

Wow!

I wasn't expecting to see Steven with the goose.

However, they burned

more calories looking for that bird

than they're gonna get by splitting it five ways.

But also, there are still two items out here,

and no one's gonna have 'em.

Wow. Well, great job, man.

-[Steven] Taking a breather. -[Jeff] Yeah.

Hey, persistence is key.

[Steven] Yup.

[Jeff] Hey, Gary!

Hey, come on down.

All right, so this is where I finalize my plan.

This will seal the deal.

Nobody will look for these items anymore.

If they want to gang up on me...

I'll gang up on them.

-What's happening? -[Jeff] All right.

Uh, I just wanted to do you a solid, man.

I... I tore myself up

in the sawgrass earlier,

and I knew you were coming to look. I...

-I found it. -Oh, that's fine.

I wanted to save you time,

wounds and everything else.

-Thank you. -[laughing] Yeah.

You found that too?

-What's that? -You found that too?

I found it before I even found the...

-Oh, dude. -...fishing tool.

-Good for you. -Yeah, thank you.

-So... -Man.

Yeah.

[Jeff] Yeah, I... I'm all cut up.

Yeah.

Did you? Yeah.

-Hey, right there. -Yeah. By a...

And you would've only seen it if you were in there, right?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Yeah, 'cause it's a little open area.

Yeah. Yeah.

So there's nothing left on the table

other than dinner tonight.

Congrats. Enjoy that.

Yeah.

Right now, I'm keeping the ball

away from the competition.

The ball is in my court right now.

And that's where it's gonna stay.

I'm the only one using strategy right now.

Everyone else here, they're just playing

the same game they've been playing for 33 days.

I mean, is it clear by now who's in the driving seat?

[Gary] Man, I stepped over it.

He made a beeline right to it, like he knew where it was.

Three minutes later, he stepped on it.

He won't show me.

He held it up and he just...

He won't tell me what it was.

[Jeff] In competition, the greatest doesn't

always win.

It's always the smartest.

And they bought it, hook, line, and sinker.

It's done. Everything is gone.

[narrator] Despite what Jeff is telling the others,

only one cache, the meat cache, has been recovered.

The fishing asset on the river banks

and survival cache in the razor grass

have still not been claimed.

[Dan] All the caches are gone.

It seems like all the caches are gone,

-but, you know... -He might not have found the survival tool.

-No, he did. Yeah. -He did?

[Matt] He definitely got it. But he's trying to play

some sort of strategy by not letting anybody know what he's got.

But I could care less.

You can go next membrane. Yup.

[Dan] One goose is good, but split between four, five people...

it's a little goose.

That's one meal.

Now you get to the liver, heart, in there somewhere.

Maybe. That's some, just coagulated

reaction here.

-[Jeff] Great job, man. -[Steven] Thanks, man. You too.

[Jeff] Steven is very quiet.

His vibe is silence right now.

And, you know, these others, whatever.

If they don't want to be my friend, fine.

I'll beat 'em in the end.

But Steven, I love him.

[Steven] This challenge has just been

really, really hard on me.

I don't like...

some instances in how this challenge has made me

react.

You want to tell me what happened?

I've lost the trail and...

-Ended up on mine? -[Steven] There's...

-I was on bone number 9. -[Steven] That's...

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

[sighs] I'm feeling really [bleep] by Steven right now.

It's gonna be hard to forgive you, dude.

[Steven] It's been really hard.

And...

I don't want to leave this challenge...

not learning something from myself.

[Jeff] I, um...

I guess I should've asked.

Are we cooking it in our camp?

[Steven] No, I'm cooking it over there.

-Oh, you are? Oh. -Yup.

[chuckles softly] All right. I was...

Just to be real with you,

I assume...

you guys are gonna talk to see if I'm invited.

Right? [chuckles]

-Have a little convo. -Yeah. All right.

I... I understand the,

you know, the situation, so...

Yeah, it's a whole different game out here.

[Jeff] Yeah.

This is the not great part of this gizzard,

so I'll give you this first. Here, bud.

I'll give you that first, 'cause you're...

-[Waz] All right. -[Matt] It's not...

-[Waz] That's better than nothing. -[Matt] Mm-hmm.

[Gary] Oh, that heart is good.

[Matt] Nice, good piece of meat, yeah.

Tougher heart than you'd almost think, but delicious flavor.

-Oh, it's amazing. -[Gary] Yeah.

[Steven] The fact that we're not sharing the goose,

I feel bad for Jeff.

But I need to stick to my guns.

It's hard for me to do,

because I'm an emotional guy.

I'm incredibly empathetic.

But I'm loyal

to the people that have been loyal to me.

And I have to be.

-[Jeff] What's up, guys? -[Gary] Hey, bub.

I actually came just to

-say, you know, like... -[Matt] Yeah.

...enjoy your dinner, and, you know,

I... I understand we're...

all in some crazy competition

and I just want you guys to know I...

I don't take anything personally.

-Okay, that's good. That's good. -[Jeff] You know. Never.

It's not personal. It's just how, you know,

we established it from the beginning, so, that's perfect.

You know? Glad we're on the same page.

Well, enjoy.

-[Matt] Yup. -Enjoy.

Good luck on catching food or wherever you're going now.

-[chuckles] Thanks. -[Matt] Yeah.

There's food out there some place.

[Jeff laughs] Yeah, I'm sure.

[Steven] It's not personal.

It's not.

I don't think he would share any food with me.

He hasn't shared anything with us since day one.

I'm not mad.

But I feel bad.

[Jeff] Okay.

So the goose was a loss.

But I may be able to get something still.

I'm going for this item. I'm close.

So I need to go down here, maybe 50 yards,

and look in the razor grass.

So based on the icon,

the center of it is

near-ish the edge of the water.

I do believe it's gonna be somewhere near here.

Ooh.

Damn, that's sharp.

This razor grass right now,

it slices you like a knife.

Right now, these needles here

are stuck all throughout my body.

[narrator] Razor grass, which can grow up to eight feet,

carries leaves that are lined with piercing sharp teeth,

primarily to discourage herbivores

from grazing.

[Jeff] Whatever item this is,

it's gotta be a good one.

[whispering] Yeah, baby! Yes!

This is what I live for right now.

A freaking axe. Yes!

Oh, my gosh.

Yes!

Oh.

[Matt] All right, Steven, try that broth out, see if it's...

It may be too hot. I'm not sure.

[Waz] Last night, we had protein for the first time in ten days.

We had Egyptian goose. It was amazing.

It didn't even taste like bird,

it tasted like steak.

As soon as you put that protein in your mouth,

you can feel it energize your body,

and start to fill you up.

That gave our body a little bit of the ingredients

that are needed to repair some of the damage

we've been doing over the last week.

And I'm feeling a lot better this morning.

[Matt] Try to see if you can gnaw any of that off there

and then break that in half.

You can crack open the brain section if you want the brain,

or you leave it in there and get the brain out separately.

You just boil the whole thing?

Then just, yeah, just cook it in a big pot.

[Dan] The past meat caches we've gotten have been

decently sizeable.

But this one's smaller.

It's a little goose.

It means less food per person,

especially if we're

splitting it five ways.

So, we need to

try to do anything to get ourselves more calories.

I think today, I'm gonna try to

make fish traps.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

[Dan] In the last location,

I found a big cast net.

[sighs] I just got to get this done quickly.

I've been racking my brain for a way to put it to use.

In my job,

I'm a marine biologist, I've worked

accessing fishery populations

off the south east coast of the United States.

And we drop big metal traps,

like, basically a big cube,

and one side has a little funnel and a hole,

and bait is suspended on the inside.

You drop it down on the ocean floor,

and fish come in and can't get out.

[Gary] Oh.

Wow, look at that chandelier.

[Dan] Mm-hmm.

My first thought is, I can make

a big trap, just like the ones

that I have worked with in the past,

with net surrounding it.

All I need to do is make a bamboo frame,

surround it with net,

and make a little funnel,

and put bait inside,

and fish would be able to go inside, and that's

proven to work in many, many situations that I've seen.

It's taking shape.

[Waz] I hope it just gets a fat catfish in it.

Yes. That's what I'm hoping for.

I really think it'll work.

[Steven] We're in the home stretch.

Everybody working together benefits everybody.

That's why we've been so successful.

But I'm also out here to win this as an individual.

I've been doing this for better part of a decade.

I'm confident in myself. I'm confident in my skill set.

You know, God willing, I cross that finish line,

and I get the job done.

[Waz] This is the guts

from the Egyptian goose that we ate.

Bait ball, pretty much.

[Dan] Fish trap is huge.

I need to get it in order tonight if it kills me.

Look at that.

[Waz] It's impressive.

[thunder rumbling]

[Jeff] Even though I didn't find the goose,

I converted the majority of my meat

from the first impala on day two into jerky.

Butchering up this impala

with these awesome survival knives.

This is, like, my best friend right now.

Uh, and I've been preserving that jerky

for weeks now.

So today I'm gonna go on a little scout.

I know that in two days

we meet for an elimination challenge of some sort.

[narrator] On day 36,

the remaining six survivalists

will face an elimination challenge,

where one person will be sent home.

Their task is still unknown,

but the location where they will meet

is marked with a purple "X"

on the maps they received yesterday.

[Jeff] So, as I map this out,

I want to find out exactly where this fork is

on the map.

That way, if it is a race to the "X,"

I know exactly where to turn,

and how many steps I need to take to get there.

It appears there's a storm moving in.

Any advantage over the competition

is very important,

because the competition at this stage in the game

is so intense and so close.

If there's an opportunity

for them to gang up on me,

they will. They absolutely will.

If I'm gonna beat

their group of five versus one,

I can't make a misstep.

And I know this. And I'm focused.

So then that means directly across...

should be the trail.

Good thing I scouted this now.

Excited about this, as...

I'm getting in the water tonight.

That's pretty cool.

You know, it's taxing when you have to...

when you have to try to survive in-between

migration and everything else.

If my leg's not working right,

so be it.

I can't fix my leg by just wanting it to be fixed.

So right now I gotta rest my leg.

The most important thing

is to get myself better to keep in the fight.

[Dan] Just gotta tie this on in three points.

That's it.

Look at that [bleep] trap.

-[Steven] Cool. -[Dan chuckles]

[Steven speaking]

[Dan] Throw this in the water.

I just saw fish move right there.

Fish literally just hit the top of the water right there.

So I made a trap that's basically a big cage

with a funnel and a hole in it

that fish go into,

and you drop it down, and fish enter and can't get out.

If something gets inside of this trap,

it's weighted down with rocks.

It's a big trap, it's not gonna move well through the water.

And it is tied to an anchor rock.

-[Steven] Good job, buddy. -[Dan] Thank you.

[Steven] Nice.

[Dan] Locked and loaded.

[Steven] That's good teamwork.

Good plan, good execution.

[Dan] Yup.

Check that early tomorrow morning?

Yeah, hell yeah.

[thunder rumbling]

[Matt] It's raining like a son of a bitch outside.

And there's no proper shelter

that we've gotten to be able to establish on this.

But when you're migratin' around,

it's tough to actually have a proper shelter.

I'm sitting under a tiny little bit of hide

that I stuck over my head.

And when it's out here,

and it's raining, and we're 34 days in.

[thunder rumbling]

It is a mean thunderstorm.

So we are stuck in a super-mega-death-storm.

I mean, literal thunder

ricocheting off the canyon sides.

I mean...

"God bless the rains down in Africa"

type stuff.

[Matt] Been raining like a son of a bitch.

Looks like a doozy.

I can't see the lightning flashes here,

but I definitely hear the thunder.

[Waz] A vicious storm overhead.

It's... [sighs]

It's coming down.

Pouring rain.

Lightning, thunder.

Whoa.

[Waz laughs]

Here we go.

[Matt speaking]

[Dan whistling]

[Dan] Water out here is rising.

Damn. Rising fast.

It's not too long before it starts rising into camp at this rate.

Hope the fish trap's okay.

[Waz] We had a fish trap in the water overnight.

We've got to get out to that Kudu skull.

Then we're gonna make our way down

and see if there's anything in this trap.

[Matt] Dan made

probably the largest fish trap in Naked And Afraid history

out of the net that we found.

And Waz and Dan are about to open this sucker up

out of the water, see if there's anything in it.

With these flood waters that came down here,

it may have messed up these fishes' movements a bit,

but we'll see.

Last night, the water rose about two feet.

[Waz] Can you believe this water, how much it's changed?

All right, what have we got?

[Waz grunts]

There's a shrimp in there.

We caught a shrimp!

[Dan] Ooh, it's a good shrimp.

[Matt] Big ol' crawdad.

[Dan speaking]

[Waz] Yeah.

We can eat that for breakfast.

[Gary] Hey, Dan, what you got here?

[Dan] Got a little breakfast.

Fish trap success.

Ah, look at that thing getting all pink.

[Dan speaking]

Mm.

Mm.

That's pretty good.

That's actually delicious.

[Matt] Have a tiny bite.

Oh, I'm not gonna lie...

[Matt chuckles]

-[Waz] That is delicious. -[Matt] Right?

Wow. This is so much better than I even expected.

I could eat a bucket of those in a second.

There is a nice, little prawn that

I grill up over the fire,

and it might not seem like much,

but one prawn

fire-grilled,

fresh, like, still kicking when you start cooking it...

Oh. And it's exactly what I needed.

[Matt] I might go out on a long hunt.

-Oh, yeah? -I'm gonna go the rest of the day,

be gone for a while, so...

It's kind of go-big-or-go-home situation.

You can see me on the other side

hopefully covered in blood.

[all laughing]

[Matt] Just, like, every step,

it hurts as I flex my right foot forward.

So my leg is definitely still injured.

Whatever I did to it, I did a dandy on it.

Definitely makes hunting

a lot more difficult.

All right. So,

I just walked up to the very top of this mountain.

And I'm a little further than I've ever gone.

But I found a sweet spot.

There's water.

This is my shooting window right here.

I'm gonna sit on 'em every six...

Probably, possibly, for six, seven hours.

Only one more thing left to do.

Mud up. Block my scent a little bit.

And also, get myself camouflaged.

What I'm doing here is creating

vertical lines.

They'll block my face as I'm moving.

I think that's it.

Time to get it on.

So now that I've mapped out tomorrow's

route to the purple "X,"

now I'm going to

map out my path to

where there's this catfish.

I said, right at step 70,

it turns off to the river.

Maybe 25 steps to the water.

If I caught a giant catfish...

would I share it with the entire group?

It would probably have to be the length of this valley

for me to even consider it, at this point.

They don't deserve a damn thing from me.

Which makes me think about my old bro, Steven.

He's kind of trapped in this,

uh, group of bullies.

But now, here, he's turned his back on me,

and he's chosen his path.

And it hurts me.

This isn't teams.

This is an individual challenge.

All I know is that I'm in a competition.

I'm fighting for my life out here.

[Matt whispering] So tomorrow's elimination day.

But today

is the time to seize the moment.

I don't care what kind of competition it is,

I'm gonna be feedin' some people,

because that is one of those things that I love to do.

I am ducked in my blind.

It looks prime time.

[intense music playing]

[intense music playing]

[Matt bleeping]

[sighs] I tried to thread the needle,

[sighs] and it hit the tiniest little branch

-that blocked it. -[snaps]

That's frustrating.

Oh!

Tiniest twig.

Hit a broadhead.

With the shape of a broadhead, when you hit a twig...

It just... It just so easily deflects.

[sighs wearily]

And hell, without a doubt, this competition,

you know, there are times I'm frustrated as hell out here,

but I'll tell you what, it's keeping me on my toes.

Arrow flexes through the air

and when it flexed, it just... [sighs] touched it.

Damn it.

[exhales]

Close.

[groans] That close.

[Gary] I'mma look around, see what I come up with.

If I'm lucky,

I'll find some sort of resource.

A fruit tree.

A beehive.

A dead animal.

Pile of maggots.

Tomorrow's another competitive challenge

between the six of us,

and we need all the calories we can get.

See that tree?

Weaver bird nest.

I'mma see if they got some eggs for me.

Oh, yeah!

This one's got some in it.

Three eggs. Oh, my gosh.

Mm.

Ah.

Mm.

[in Spanish] Delicioso.

[in English] Look at that tree down there.

It's like covered in

weaver bird ornaments.

There's some more.

A beautiful blue egg.

I decide to keep this to myself because it's competition.

Look at all those nests.

There's a ton. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I got 60 eggs in one location.

That's a lot of eggs for a human being

in a survival situation.

So that should give me some energy for tomorrow.

Mm.

Now that was a feast.

[wind blowing]

[Jeff] Well, on the map, at least, it says

this is a good catfish hole.

The catfish hang out along the banks.

Um, however, the water level has risen and these...

These grasses are under water.

It makes it so difficult

to do any kind of catfishing.

[Steven] I've gathered a pretty enormous amount of spekboom.

It's good protein calorie reset for me.

It's got moisture in it.

It's got sugars in it.

It's got some vitamin C in it, it's got some calories.

I would love, like, this with a little bit of ranch dressing.

It'd be freaking amazing.

[panting]

-[Jeff] Hey, man. -[Steven] What's up, buddy?

[Jeff] Oh, you found some, huh?

-Yep. -Oh, whoa.

There's some...

When we were... I found, like, three bushes when we were looking at...

-For the goose on the first day. -No.

-Yeah. It's not great. -Oh, dude.

-Wanna try some? -Good find. Yeah, can I?

[Steven] Yeah, it's not... It's not like good boom...

-Okay, well... -...but it's boom.

-[Jeff chuckles] It's boom. -Fills the belly.

[Jeff] Thank you, Steve.

-Hey, um... -There should be more up there.

[Jeff] And... And thanks for being honest about where...

-Where you found that. Would you... -Yep.

[Jeff] Would you like a teeny little

piece of, uh, impala jerky?

[Steven] Why, you still have impala jerky?

[Jeff] Yeah, man, I've been saving it for 31 days now.

[Steven] Mmm-hmm.

-[Jeff] Take these two nubs. -I'll take the little baby.

-Thanks, man. -Yeah, thank you.

[Jeff] Nice little... Nice little hit, right?

-Yeah, yeah. -Yeah.

-[clears throat] -Yeah.

Oh, this whole thing's nuts too.

-[sighs] -Whole thing's crazy.

Yeah, whole thing's crazy.

[Steven] This entire "Jeff" thing, like, it's...

It's been tough. It's been the hardest part of my whole journey.

Yeah, I think both me and Jeff,

both of us have kind of

done each other wrong.

I wanted to, uh...

I wanted to talk to you today

and, uh,

just wanna let you know, this challenge has been

-tough. -[Jeff] Yeah.

[Steven] And, uh...

You know, I know we...

We kind of went in

into this two different mind sets,

you know, and two different methods,

and, uh,

I think

it's led us both to kind of

butt heads little bit

on how we were going about it.

And, uh,

[smacks lips] I just want you to know

if I said anything that hurt you,

or did anything that...

I'm sorry, because as a brother,

I should never do that, so...

I do hope you'll forgive me. And, uh...

[sniffles]

[smacks lips] I'm just throwing that out there.

[slow music playing]

[Steven] I do hope you'll forgive me.

And, uh... [sniffles]

[smacks lips] I'm just throwing that out there.

[Jeff] Thank you, Steve. Thank you.

I... I forgive you.

-I forgive you. I... This has been hard, bro. -Yeah.

This has been really hard, and I...

And I have to say too, okay?

My actions or my words, whatever I did, they hurt ya,

and I'm sorry for that.

Thank you. I... I forgive you too, Jeff.

Oh, give me a hug. Come here.

[Jeff] Love you, bro.

-I do. Genuinely. -[sighs]

Even in these circumstances

with a $100,000 on the line in a competition

and you know, the different ways of thinking and taking on things,

you should never

hurt somebody.

In any way. [smacks lips] And if they feel hurt,

you need to recognize that.

Let's put that [bleep] in the past.

-Good day, day 35. -Okay? Yeah.

-It's good. -Let's make it good days

from here to the end, you and I.

We know this is a competition.

-Yeah. -I'm okay with you competing against me.

-Yeah. -You know,

on challenge day if you jump ahead of me

and grab some token and win the damn thing,

-you do it. You do that for you. -No.

You do that for you and your family.

-And you know I'll do it too. -Yep.

-Competition's okay. -Yeah.

[Jeff] Tomorrow is an elimination challenge.

The greatest survivalist out here

could go home tomorrow if he has a bad day.

And we've been needing to have this talk for 35 days.

It was so healing.

And I just feel like I have this huge weight off my shoulders.

But we're both gonna go about this challenge

the same way.

Tomorrow being elimination day,

I hope I don't go home.

If I do end up going, I... I will...

I will go with my head held high.

-That was good. -That was needed. Thank you, man.

[Steven] Oh, thank you, too.

[exhales] Well,

nine hours I've sat

waiting for an opportunity to happen,

and it didn't happen today.

The wind, it swirled around every direction possible

and, uh, just kept everything that was coming down at bay.

Without a doubt, it's... It's a tough place for, uh,

not just your emotional spirit but morale.

You know, I'm the savage.

You know me as the guy that comes back

and brings so much food that everybody laughs and has fun

and it kills me on the inside.

I'm used to being an apex predator,

and right now, I'm being an apex forager.

It's not good.

[Matt] My leg is killing me, my back, my hips, my knees.

[Dan] Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that, Matt.

[Matt groans]

[Dan] I hate to even think it out loud, but...

[Matt] There's a real good chance that

if this next, uh, elimination challenge requires running...

-Yeah. -...there's a good chance that...

[Dan] Matt, the first... The last one did

-and you came in second place. -Yeah.

-Like, way ahead of everyone else. -That was a long run too.

[Dan] And you were way more [bleep] up.

[Matt] That's true. But [exhales]

it's still on my mind.

[Gary] Day of the elimination challenge

and one of us is going home today.

It's, uh, one of those days that...

That weighs on the nerves

because I'm weak, I'm tired.

I'm feeling like my body is just trying to recover.

[Dan] I have no idea what's coming up today.

There's so many unknowns, so many uncontrollables

that you just have to let go and accept it.

And I'm totally ready for it.

I'm actually kind of excited about what today might bring.

[Gary] So what knives are you guys bringing?

[Matt] I'm bringing a machete.

-[Gary] Machete? -Yeah.

-[Gary] I was thinking the same thing. -Yeah.

[Waz] I'm gonna take this knife just 'cause

I think between this one and the small one,

uh, this is the most versatile.

It could chop. It could do fine work.

Preparing for war basically,

getting ready for whatever battles lie ahead

and getting myself in a position

where I can be as unbeatable as possible.

Yeah, I'm ready for this day to be over.

[Steven] I could have literally spent my last night here in Africa.

I wanna stay in this. I'm... I'm close to the end.

Crossing that finish line is important to me.

[Matt] Looks like

all we have to do...

[Waz] Go up Kudu Hill.

...is just go up here, get through that bush, right?

-Up that trail. -[Gary] Okay. Ready?

-[Steven] Let's do this. -[Gary] It's about to go down. Let's go.

[Matt] So my leg is definitely still injured.

Whatever I did to it, I did a dandy on it.

And I know that today's gonna be painful.

Is it gonna hinder me? I don't think so.

I'm not gonna let it.

[Jeff] I get nervous, I get butterflies in my stomach,

I know that at any moment,

I could be eliminated.

But if I had to bet on anyone

to be the last one standing,

I'd put my money right here.

[Waz] Six of us are gonna go in,

five of us are gonna come out.

Don't know who that's gonna be, could be me, could be any of these guys.

We... We never know with this competition, how they're gonna play out.

I'm not gonna let my opponents,

I'm not gonna let the other side push me over.

Um, I'm gonna do everything I can do to win this.

[Steven] All right.

[reading] "To be the last ones standing, you must master the elements.

Today you will use your bushcraft skills

to transport and store a precious survival resource."

[narrator] In order to avoid elimination,

survivalists will embark

on a multistage water transport challenge.

The first phase begins on a stand of bamboo near the river.

There they will discover further instructions.

Expertise in carrying and storing clean water

is a critical survival skill.

Just test this to see if it'll hold water,

and looks like we're in business.

[narrator] Water is the most precious resource

in any survival situation.

[woman] Oh, it tastes so good.

[narrator] Without it, the human body

can only survive three days.

[man] We have to get out of here very quickly,

or we're gonna die of dehydration.

"Remember, you are all competing as individuals,

so you must work alone.

The last person to succeed will face immediate extraction

and be removed from the challenge."

[Matt] All right, boys, good luck to all of ya.

Good luck, all of ya.

[Gary] I see them all jockeying and kind of positioned

to be in front of that little running line.

I am the last one in line.

Holy [bleep]!

I'm out here with the toughest of the tough,

the best of the best,

that's a reality of it. It's time to move.

[Matt] You gotta take advantage of every second you got.

[Jeff] This challenge is unbelievably complex.

What I have to do right now

is run down to a patch of bamboo,

find that first scroll and try to find out

what to do in the next location.

[Dan] Definitely a scramble race.

People are running around, looking for little scrolls.

[Waz] I can't see [bleep] in here.

[Jeff] Has anyone seen anything?

-Oh. -[Dan] Yeah, Gary found one.

Where was it?

I'll find out. [bleep] hell.

[Steven] We're competing as individuals.

This is a whole different animal out here right now.

Got it.

[Dan] Yes, come on.

[Matt] To move on this leg right now is rough,

and, uh, it's still a little hard for me to find that scroll.

Oh, Jesus Christ!

[reading] "You must use these reeds

to transport water to the gourd,

fill it completely

and craft a seal for the top."

[narrator] Survivalists must utilize only bamboo

to transfer water from the river

into a gourd

located 300 yards uphill from the riverbed.

[reading] "Here you'll find a gourd to store water."

"Fill it completely and craft a seal for the top."

"When your gourd is completely sealed,

"claim one of the five scrolls to avoid elimination."

I open my scroll and then I see it's a transporting water race

and I'm, like, instantly, it comes to me pretty quick

that, you know, bamboo has cups.

[narrator] Bamboo has hollow chambers

separated by a solid ring joint.

When cut with precision,

these sections are ideal for storing

and carrying water.

I'm trying to use the sawback of my machete

as gingerly as possible,

making sure the bamboo doesn't splinter

and using green bamboo in particular

as green bamboo

doesn't splinter as easily as old, dry bamboo.

Ah!

[Steven] I'm thinking of the most efficient way

to get the job done.

I'm cutting the bamboos

so I have as many open cylinders as I have

to transport as much water as possible.

I don't wanna have to make multiple and multiple trips.

[Waz bleeps]

[Waz speaking]

[Waz] It turns out that, uh, it would have been good

to have saw on the back of my knife

because the bamboo that I cut is the dry, brown bamboo.

[Waz speaking]

If I try chopping it with a blade

then it just splits open. It doesn't chop at all.

This is a race and someone's about to go home.

And, uh, it sort of pops a little problem up in front of me.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

[Waz] The bamboo that I cut is the dry, brown bamboo.

It doesn't chop at all.

I realize there's green bamboo there as well,

which is not as hard and not as brittle.

[continues speaking]

[Gary] And I started chopping bamboo right away, making up some little cups.

I only grab about four

and, uh, I head off

to go look for this gourd.

[narrator] With the bamboo processed,

survivalists must choose

to either navigate to the gourd first

or head to the river to collect water.

Both locating the gourd and utilizing river water

are essential to avoid elimination.

[Jeff] This is crazy.

Uh, this is quite the challenge

with a lot of moving parts.

[Matt] This is a full-out ready-set-go race.

[narrator] Gary, Jeff and Matt race to the gourd

while Dan runs for water

leaving Steven and Waz processing the bamboo.

[Jeff] Matt does have a leg injury right now.

Honestly, I don't think it's gonna slow him down much.

Matt will push through the pain.

I'm not underestimating him at all.

What I have to do right now is try to find my gourd.

[Matt] Oh.

[continues speaking]

[Steven] I see Matt chopped a couple solid branches of bamboo

and then went off to go find the gourd.

Uh, while me and a couple other people

actually cut the cylinders there,

tied 'em together, uh,

to make almost like a bucket to take 'em to the gourd.

[Waz] This is a race and someone's about to go home.

So, I'm not focusing on the other people around me,

how they're doing, who's doing what.

I'm just focusing on myself and my goals.

My strategy for this challenge

is to try to minimize my trips,

minimize my movements as much as possible.

[Dan speaking]

I'm just running on fumes and adrenaline at this point.

[Waz] I think pretty logically and clearly

in situations like this,

so I'm just gonna get this one done.

[Steven] I go to the water before I even go to the gourd,

so I can get my water first, make one trip to the gourd,

try to fill it up on that one and just be one and done.

[birds squawking]

[Gary] I think

going to

this gourd

in the map...

I can't say I'm sure I know where I'm going.

[exhales] Jeez.

I never use a navigation when I've hiked.

Well, I figure the trails.

Maybe there's a trail up there.

I'm trying to find a way to punch up into there.

There's no real trails.

[bleep]

-[Jeff] Hey, buddy. -What's up?

[Jeff] You wanna share some info?

-About a gourd? -Yeah.

-Did you find one? -No.

[pants]

-Did you? -No.

Did you look in the hills?

Not yet. I...

I'm trying to get to the right location.

[narrator] To avoid elimination,

survivalists must use their navigation skills

to find the gourd location

300 yards uphill from the riverbed

in a thick stand of trees.

[Gary] Maybe there's a trail up there.

[Jeff] Like, you're thinking maybe we passed it?

[Gary] That's what I'm thinking.

Gosh, damn.

I know it's this direction,

but could be up in the hill more.

[Matt] Leg still hurts like a sumbitch,

it's still not moving like it needs to be,

but I'm gonna have a hell of a time hobbling around to not be eliminated.

I have no idea how big this gourd is.

There are different variations of bamboo

and this, without a doubt, is not your Asian-specific bamboo

that's incredibly strong and tough.

This stuff is a little bit brittle.

I'm gonna tie 'em all together

in a nice, strong knot, make sure...

Hope I don't have to go back.

[narrator] At this point, all the survivalists

are searching for their gourds.

With Matt, Dan, Waz and Steven carrying water

while Jeff and Gary still have empty bamboo.

[Dan] So I'm looking at the map,

I can see the icon that was on the map of the gourd,

and I take off running in that direction as fast as I can.

Before I know, I'm running and I look at the ground...

[breathing heavily]

Okay.

[narrator] Once the gourd is located,

they must fill it completely with water

using only bamboo.

Then mastering their bushcraft skills

they must plug the gourd creating a watertight seal.

[Dan] Ah, okay, okay.

I'm a little paranoid about breaking the gourd when I cork it.

So, I want something that's tough and fleshy to cork this gourd

and I know the cactus trees around here perfectly fit that bill.

But I need a stem that's still green

and just bigger than this hole.

And that's kind of hard to find.

Mm, I ripped the good part.

Finally I have it.

And this cork, it works perfectly.

Okay.

And now I need to fill my gourd.

[Waz] I got some water in the bamboo cells.

And I have a pretty good idea just based off where the gourds

that was shown on the map of where that would be.

I have explored that area a little bit in the last few days.

Difference between success and going home

is a matter of minutes, maybe seconds,

but I'm running out of energy.

I haven't been eating a lot of, uh, protein,

don't have a lot of calories to spare

and this one's very energy sapping.

I have a gourd right here.

[breathing heavily]

So the stick is just

if any water's trying to escape.

That water tension will just grab one of the stick and go straight down.

Like when you're filling oil up in your car engine.

Kind of full.

All right, I'm gonna find a little stick here.

Once I've got my gourd filled up,

then I've got to find a plug.

Um, I'm pretty much just gonna use a stick.

Well, I just realized

I've made a pretty big error.

But I gotta whittle down the stick.

I reach into my bag to grab my knife

and I realize I've left my knife

all the way back at the bamboo.

[intense music playing]

It's not what I meant to be doing.

[Waz] Well, I just realized

I've made a pretty big error.

[sniffs] But wherever I chopped my bamboo down

is where I left my knife.

Just have to improvise, adapt, overcome.

I've got to work with whatever around me.

I can't run back and get this knife.

So, I'm trying to make a plug

without a knife.

-[Gary] Steven. -Found the gourds?

-No, did you? -Uh-uh.

I figure there's gotta be a trail up in here, you know.

-You full of water right now? -Yep.

[Gary] Wow, nice.

[Steven] I think this has got to be it.

-Here's one. -Oh.

[Gary] All right, this is my gourd.

I'll fill it down by the water.

Work smarter, not harder.

Why bring water up to this

when you could bring it down to the water?

[narrator] In the lead,

Waz and Dan are both looking to craft plugs

for their filled gourds.

Gary and Steven found gourds but need to fill them.

And Matt and Jeff still have not located their gourds.

[Steven] I'm filling it up.

I'm literally, like, two cylinders short

of filling my gourd all the way.

I have mine almost full.

I should be able to fill it up on this next one here.

To be able to leave as the last one standing

would be incredible, you know.

I am the king, I am kind of a big deal.

Like, you can't take the crown off this guy.

[Dan] I've spent a little bit of time trying to find this cork.

I spent maybe five, ten minutes.

I was the first one at these gourds

and finding this cork put me back a little bit.

Full.

[Gary] I'm going up against the best.

I'm going up against strong survivalists here.

[Steven speaking]

[Gary speaking]

[Gary] I'm definitely the wild card out here

and I'm always underestimated.

Uh, seems to foreshadow, um, what I actually achieve.

And I know that, I'm aware of it.

I asked for it,

but thinking outside the box is key in survival.

There we go.

Now, I'm full.

Now how I plan on corking it

would actually be

a piece of greenwood

'cause greenwood is softer

and more pliable.

And, uh,

you know, more workable and it'll stick.

Okay, now...

I might be up to something here.

[exclaiming excitedly] Oh!

[narrator] With his gourd sealed,

Gary must now backtrack to the Kudu skull

where he will need to collect a scroll

to prevent his elimination.

Please don't show this footage to my mum

'cause she'll kill me.

Using my teeth as a knife.

I got the right sized stick,

I whittled it down with my teeth a little bit

so it was a little bit tapered.

I wrapped some leaves around it

and I put it in the... In the top hole of the gourd.

I'm gonna give this a go.

I don't know if this necessarily is gonna work,

but I've got spare water, so...

I tip that thing upside down

and no drips came out

and the task was over.

[muttering inaudibly]

[breathing heavily]

This one is mine.

[reading] "Congratulations.

You know you are now one of the final five.

This gourd will prove invaluable

if you make it to extraction."

How good is that, people?

[breathing heavily]

[Matt] This is my gourd.

Okay. Now...

I've made it this far.

I don't know

if I have enough.

Enough in each one of these,

but what I don't wanna do is spill any.

Oh, come on.

I've spilled a lot. Just the way they're cut.

Oh, [bleep]!

My leg is messed up. I can't move fast,

but I know if I panic now, it's over.

I have to stay focused.

[continues speaking]

So, I was looking in the wrong location

the whole time for the gourds.

And so I'm definitely delayed right now.

And I might be looking for the last of the gourds.

We'll see.

I'm scared because I know I gave up

so many valuable minutes

with this navigational error.

I have mine.

I get an idea.

I'm thinking, "I'm just gonna take the gourd to the river

and fill it right there with one piece of bamboo.

It's gonna be super-fast

and then I can create a plug

out of green reeds and mud."

I think this is gonna be the strategy that pays off.

[Waz] Danny, you finished?

-[Dan] Where's the scroll? -Right here.

-[Dan] Good job, mate. -Good job, mate.

[wheezing]

[Dan] Gary. How you doing?

[Waz] Good job, mate.

All right, my gourd's filled.

[Steven exhales sharply]

I see Waz up there,

I see Dan, I see Gary,

and I don't see Matt or Jeff.

And now it's like down to the races.

[Dan] This is intense. The two that it's down to.

[Matt exhales]

I'm pretty sure, you know,

I'm behind some of the other survivalists.

-[Steven] Where's Matt? -[Gary] Jeez, how the [bleep] would I know?

[Dan] It's just Jeff and Matt out there.

A guy that deserves to win this challenge

in every aspect

and the other guy that most would agree does not.

[Waz] Oh, I don't know what either of them are doing.

We're sitting here on the edge of our seats

waiting to see who's gonna come, just hoping it's Matt.

[Matt] Leg is slowing me down.

[Gary speaking]

[Jeff] I've now filled the gourd with water

and I'm behind right now.

I have no idea if Matt has finished

with his gourd yet.

[Matt groans]

The four of us, we are just hoping

that Matt is next.

It is Matt. You got it, Matt.

-[Dan] Matt. -Come on.

-You got this. -Matt, run it in. Run it in.

-[Matt speaking] -[indistinct shouting]

[Steven] You got this, Matt.

-[Gary] Matt, Matt... -[Dan] Quick, just one scroll.

-Run it in, run it in. -Yeah, Matt.

[Matt] My hurt leg has definitely probably giving my opponents

a leg up on the challenge.

But it doesn't mean they're guaranteed to win.

Nobody said a winner can't hobble.

[Steven] You got this. He's not here yet.

All he's gotta do is whittle a stick, shove it in there.

Turn it upside down, he's good to go

and Jeff's not in sight.

And I'm like, "Dude, this is like...

He's gotta be almost done."

[groans]

-[Gary] You got this, Matt. -Don't panic.

[Steven exhales sharply]

[Matt] Here we go again.

[narrator] For this competition,

the PSR or the Primitive Survival Rating

weighs an individual's survival skills

and items collected

to determine the likelihood of becoming

the last one standing.

Yeah!

[Gary] Oh, yeah.

Weaver bird eggs.

[narrator] Gary was the only survivalist

to locate a large protein source

before elimination day...

Look at all those nests.

...and outsmarted his competition

to stay in the challenge.

His PSR rises from 8.7 to 8.9.

[Steven] Where are you at? Hurry!

[narrator] Despite attempted misdirection,

Steven found the biggest protein catch...

Yeah!

Look at that goose, baby!

...cleared the air...

I do hope you'll forgive me.

Come here.

[Jeff] I do. I forgive you.

[narrator] ...and avoided elimination.

His PSR climbs from a 9.3 to 9.5.

Matt struggled with his injured leg

and was unable to locate the fishing asset

or bring down big game,

leaving him fighting to stay in the competition.

[Matt] Leg is slowing me down.

[narrator] This causes his PSR to drop

from 9.4 to 9.3.

[exhales]

-[Gary] You got it, Matt. -[Dan] Matt.

-[Gary] Come on. -[Steven] You got this.

-You gotta go. -You gotta go!

[Matt] Leg is seizing up on me a little bit. [groans]

-[Dan] Don't panic. -[Steven] He's not here yet.

[Jeff] If I can beat Matt,

then I can stay in this challenge.

And that's my goal today:

to beat my greatest competitor.

Now, all I have to do is get this up there.

You got this.

We're all biting our nails waiting to see

who finishes first.

[exclaims in frustration]

Okay, push it straight on, Matt, finish up, buddy, finish up.

[grunts]

-[Gary] Ah, man. -[sighs wearily]

[somber music playing]

It's okay, buddy.

Just take your time now, buddy. Don't hurt yourself.

[exclaims in pain]

[exclaims in pain]

[inaudible]

[Waz] Let's get you up.

-[Gary] Watch it, Matt. -[groans in pain]

Oh.

[Dan] Matt's eliminated and all of our hearts just dropped.

It's a powerful moment.

Ah, it's hard to see

someone you considered family go out like that.

[groans in pain]

-Toughest dude I've ever met. -Seriously.

[bleep] hell, man.

[Dan] He's so not dramatic when it comes to pain.

And he is just...

-[groans in pain] -...in agony.

In absolute agony.

You can see it all over his body, all over his face.

[Matt groans] Ah, who'd have thought, mate,

the savage loses on water?

-[Steven chuckles] -[Matt] And a cork.

Water in a [bleep] gourd!

[groans in pain]

[exclaims in pain]

[Dan speaking]

[groans in pain]

Jeff, you're probably not wanted.

[Matt] So, Jeff, uh, good luck.

It's, uh...

[sniffles] You know, I may not respect you if you win necessarily

but I respect that you're out here doing it, so...

Matt, everything I've ever said to you

is because I respect you as a competitor.

-Appreciate that, buddy. -All the [bleep] I've given you,

every word I said

is because I respect you more than anyone else out here.

-You have always been my greatest competition. -Yep.

I genuinely love you, okay?

[Matt] Thanks, buddy. [groans]

I'd, uh... Ever have that

one moment to, uh... [sniffles]

To tell you guys how freaking proud I am of you guys.

[sobbing]

[Matt] All of you, every one of you.

And, uh, you're doing something out here, something incredible.

There's never a last one, right?

There's never a last fight.

[Dan] You've literally been an inspiration to all of us, Matt.

Thanks, guys.

All right, now, [bleep] this sitting on the finish line [bleep].

Help me stand up.

[Dan] Yeah, sure. Come on.

[Matt groans in pain]

[bleeping]

[Matt] Ooh, she burnin'. [sniffs]

Oh!

[thunder rumbling]

[Gary] There's your ride, buddy. You're gonna be sitting down.

[Matt groans in pain]

[Matt] I'mma freaking miss you guys.

-I'm proud of you guys. -[Dan] Love you, buddy.

[Matt] 'Cause I'm pretty positive

I've probably ripped something in my leg.

It feels like an injury

that's gonna take a couple of months to heal.

[exhales wearily]

-[Waz] Love you, man. -[Matt] Love you.

-Love you. -[engine starts]

[Matt groans] So here it is.

Yours truly, the savage.

Just got eliminated.

Leg hurts.

But it doesn't hurt.

The things that I've accomplished

throughout my Naked and Afraid.

[woman yelps]

Jumbo warrior.

You guys ordered bacon?

I've taken on eight challenges around the world.

[whispering] I'm dangerous when I'm hungry.

Yes!

And I've done over 250-something days on these things.

Holy sheep [bleep]!

-Yeah! -Whoo.

I'm not ready to go yet.

I don't tend to lose.

Savage strikes again.

I can hold my head up high

knowing that there was never a day out here I took for granted

and I accomplished incredible things while out here.

But in the end,

it's the little things that can even take a legend down.

There's those little things that you can't control.

I can't fix my leg by just wanting it to be fixed.

My warrior spirit, you can knock me down,

you can put me back, you can eliminate me,

but you can never stop me.

I'll be back, stalking my prey.

-[effort grunts] -Holy mother!

[Matt] Yeah, buddy.

-[Matt] Inspiring those around me... -[woman exclaims]

[Matt] What's up, guys? [grunts]

Oh, hell yes.

[Matt grunts] and, uh...

[Matt] ...finding and hunting down those epic moments...

We are kings!

...as a promise from yours truly, the savage.

[Gary] That's hard, man. That was tough.

-[Steven] That was tough. -Who would have thought it would ever be like this?

[Waz] No. Never.

[Steven] He's just gonna be missed, you know.

I mean, we were right here at the home stretch,

five of us left,

head-to-head, every man for themselves.

Best primitive hunter on the planet.

And 100% class act in every freaking way, whatsoever.

[Waz] This only just shows what we're facing out here

and the different things that can take you down.

Even if you are the best survivalist

ever to exist, or walked the Earth,

you can get taken down by something like a...

Like a injury, a sore calf,

and an animal, a spider bite. anything like that.

It just shows it could be any of us any day.

You know, [bleep] it, man.

[Jeff] My toughest competition

was eliminated from this challenge.

While everyone feels bad for Matt,

I'm in this challenge for myself.

Matt was not a gentle soul to me out here.

And I believe that this is his karma drink.

I hope Matt learns from it.

I'm not shedding any tears today.

I'm celebrating,

because now I'm one step closer to being the last one standing.

So now it's the final five

with nine days left to go.

This changes everything.
