OH, MAN. IT'S INTIMIDATING IN HERE.

Sarah: THIS IS MAYAN TERRITORY.

AND IT CARRIES WITH IT A LOT OF LORE,

A LOT OF HISTORY.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS,

BUT THIS PLACE LOOKS A LITTLE EERIE.

Narrator: SIERRA DE SOCONUSCO,

LOCATED IN THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF CHIAPAS, MEXICO,

BURIED IN THESE MOUNTAINS BY THE REMNANTS

OF THE ANCIENT MAYAN CIVILIZATION,

SOME LOCALS BELIEVE THE AREA TO BE CURSED BY EVIL SPIRITS.

MANY FEEL THE SOULS OF THEIR ANCESTORS

ARE STILL ROAMING THE JUNGLE TODAY.

I WON'T LIE. I THINK THIS IS THE MOST NERVOUS I'VE BEEN

GOING INTO A CHALLENGE.

Narrator: THE DENSE JUNGLE TERRAIN

IS HOME TO A HIGHLY VENOMOUS PIT VIPERS

AND SATURATED BY OVER 100 INCHES

OF UNRELENTING RAINFALL EACH YEAR,

THREATENING FLASH FLOODS, AND LANDSLIDES WITHOUT WARNING.

NOW TRENT AND SARAH, TWO "NAKED AND AFRAID" ALL-STARS,

WILL ATTEMPT TO SURVIVE IN THIS

HAUNTING AND UNFORGIVING LANDSCAPE.

♪♪

Sarah: PEOPLE OFTEN UNDERESTIMATE ME.

THEY SEE ME AS VERY SKINNY, JUST A SMALL PERSON,

BUT THEY COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG.

I CONQUERED TWO CHALLENGES SO FAR.

THE FIRST CHALLENGE I DID IN THE EXUMAS CASE

WAS ON A DESERT ISLAND.

Woman: GET THAT FIRE READY.

Man: WHAT'D YOU GET?

A LOBSTER.

THE SECOND CHALLENGE I DID WAS IN AFRICA.

I ALMOST STARVED TO DEATH.

MY BODY IS DETERIORATING AWAY FROM ME.

I DON'T WANT TO DIE OUT HERE.

AFRICA WAS STARK, BARREN, AND DRY.

THIS FEELS ALMOST LIKE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE.

TAKING ON CHIAPAS IN THE RAINY SEASON

MAY BE THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE YET.

*BLEEP*

♪♪

Trent: YOU KNOW, PERSONALLY, I DO HAVE

A BIG CONNECTION TO THE UNKNOWN.

WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH BIGFOOT.

I WAS IN A TENT AND IT LAID DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE TENT.

AND I ACTUALLY HAD TO PULL OUT OF UNDER IT.

EVER SINCE, I DON'T LIKE THE DARK.

SCARES ME TO DEATH.

VERY PROUD THAT I COMPLETED A 21-DAY AND I COMPLETED A 40.

I'VE DONE BELIZE FOR 21 DAYS.

IT WAS A SIMILAR AREA TO THIS.

MY PARTNER, AFTER THREE DAYS, LEFT.

WELL, GUESS IT'S JUST ME.

AAAH! GET OUT OF HERE!

OH MY GOSH. CUT THE CRAP.

I DID AFRICA FOR 40 DAYS.

WHEN I WAS IN AFRICA, I HAD MALARIA.

MY BODY, I COULD FEEL IT GOING DOWN.

DID I QUIT? NO.

I AM VERY NERVOUS TO BE OUT HERE.

THE FOLIAGE IS SIMILAR TO BELIZE.

THE CONDITIONS ARE NOT.

THESE CONDITIONS ARE GOING TO BE COLDER,

AND THEY'RE GONNA BE WETTER.

I AM PRAYING THAT MY PARTNER IS A VERY STRONG PERSON

AND WHO WILL BE ABLE TO HELP GET THROUGH THIS.

WELL, TIME TO PUT ON MY SURVIVAL UNIFORM.

EXPOSED TO NATURE'S MOST GRUELING CONDITIONS,

TRENT BEGINS WITH A PSR OF 8.2.

SARAH HAS PROVEN HER METTLE, ALREADY SURVIVING

TWO VERY DIFFICULT AND DIVERSE ENVIRONMENTS.

WILL TEST THIS VETERAN'S RESOLVE.

SHE BEGINS WITH A PSR OF 8.3.

NO. YOU!

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

OH! TRENT!

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

OH, MAN. IT'S BEEN SINCE AFRICA.

NO KIDDING.

I'M SO EXCITED.

WE SURVIVED TOGETHER IN AFRICA ON "XL,"

AND THAT'S CERTAINLY AN ADVANTAGE TO US NOW.

REMEMBER THAT RAIN IN AFRICA.

NOT FONDLY.

IT'S HAILING. THERE ARE ICE CHUNKS ON THE GROUND.

WE ARE TOTALLY EXPOSED OUT HERE.

I FEEL LIKE A WET RAT.

LET'S SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT IN OUR BAG.

ALTHOUGH THIS ENVIRONMENT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN AFRICA,

I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE THAT BOTH HE AND I

ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ROCK IT OUT HERE.

LET'S SEE WHAT WE HAVE.

Narrator: TRENT AND SARAH HAVE BEEN GIVEN A MACHETE

AND BROUGHT ALONG A PERSONAL ITEM,

A FIRE STARTER AND PARACORD.

YOU CAN DO SO MUCH WITH THIS. ANYTHING FROM TRAPS TO SHELTER.

THE OPTIONS ARE LIMITLESS.

THAT'S AWESOME.

WELL, WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE'RE GOING.

WAS THERE A MAP IN YOURS?

YEP. GOT IT RIGHT HERE.

HERE'S THE ROCK.

I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT HERE.

WE GOT SOME MOUNTAINS, GOT THE RIVER,

AND DOWN HERE, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S GOING TO BE A WATERFALL.

THAT'S GOING TO BE EXTRACTION.

SO I THINK IF WE HEAD DOWN THE VALLEY TOWARDS THIS BAMBOO,

BAMBOO IS GOOD FOR BUILDING SHELTER.

YEAH, I LIKE BAMBOO.

YEAH.

WOW. WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS ROCK HERE?

THAT IS MAYAN.

SOMEBODY ACTUALLY CARVED THAT. THAT'S HISTORY RIGHT THERE.

A LITTLE SPOOKY. OH, YEAH.

Narrator: SARAH AND TRENT HEAD INTO THE DAMP, UNTAMED JUNGLE.

LURKING BENEATH THE CANOPY ARE NORTH AMERICAN JAGUARS...

I NEED TO GET BAMBOO. WE NEED TO CROSS THE RIVER

THERE'S NOWHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER

THE LOCATION WE'RE IN IS THE BEST SUITABLE

FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING.

*BLEEP*.

WE NEED SHELTER, AND WE NEED IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WE'RE IN FOR A STORM.

THE CLOUDS HAVE MOVED IN.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME.

WE'VE GOT TO BUST OUR BUTTS NOW.

EVERYTHING IS WET.

EVEN IF IT LOOKS DRY, YOU CAN GUARANTEE

THERE'S A GOOD AMOUNT OF MOISTURE CONTENT THERE,

WHICH MEANS KEEPING OUR FIRE GOING

IS GOING TO BE REALLY DIFFICULT.

THIS IS GONNA BE A FULL-TIME JOB.

JUST GONNA BE A BIG A-FRAME SHELTER
