Just kind of keep your ears open,

keep a look out in the trees right now.

[Jamie speaking]

[Boar squeals]

[Brandon speaking]

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Brandon] There's nothing easy about this.

We got hail.

[Boar growling]

Phew! My heart's racing.

[Jessica] If you don't fight, you won't make it.

Why is it so hard?

[Brandon] We're ready for war.

[Tense music playing]

[Brandon] This landscape looks like it doesn't want me here.

But I'm an American. Americans don't quit.

This is a lot different from Indiana, I can tell you that.

But I'm going all the way, day 21.

So this environment is completely different than Canada.

I'm very excited to be here. I'm representing my country.

Let's do this.

I'm gonna be showing the world how the Scots do. But...

[Jamie speaking]

[Narrator] In this two-hour event,

two teams from different sides of the world

attempt to survive one of the most inhospitable

and shifting terrains on earth,

South Africa's Pondoland.

Here, deadly predators hide in plain sight,

and 25-mile per-hour winds can make

for frigid conditions, day and night.

One team represents the USA.

- [Brandon] Yeah. - Too easy.

[Narrator] The second team is a pair

of international survivalist.

Still stronger than ever. God!

[Narrator] Both teams will have to survive

in two separate camps for the first 10 days.

If they make it to day 11, they will merge

to become a single tribe of United Nations.

Who will survive?

[Jessica] Mother nature is a bitch sometimes.

[Narrator] And who will succumb?

And which team will make their home country proud?

Bring it on.

[Dramatic music playing]

Wearing the famous tartan kilt.

I'm gonna put Scotland on the map,

make sure it's known for its survival.

So you want to try and take the moss off.

This should roll up like a carpet.

I've always been doing survival and bush craft

about a year ago, started my YouTube channel.

Hi, everyone.

Welcome back to another episode of wild man.

That is a big beetle.

Teaching people about the outdoors

and how to handle themselves when they're out there.

I feel alive when I'm the wild man.

Woo-hoo.

Water purification, finding suitable water sources

is probably the best skills that I have.

Oh. Nice and fresh.

Scottish people, I would say, are pretty tough.

We're mentally strong, the hard workers.

Tapping out doesn't exist in my world.

[Narrator] Jamie has experience in primitive survival,

but strict game laws in Scotland mean he has

limited experience trapping and hunting.

Jamie starts the challenge

with a primitive survival rating or PSR of 7.1.

[Beverly] I am extremely excited to go hunting Kudu, impala,

just a little bit of everything out here.

Oh. First shot of the day.

Couldn't get any better than that.

I am a hunting guide.

I was... wasn't born in the woods,

but I say I got there as quickly as I could.

And being from Canada, we are known for our hunting,

trapping, fishing. So my experience, um,

hunting and working with black bears

is definitely gonna help me here in Africa.

So I'm eager to get out there, meet my partner,

and knock this thing out of the park.

[Narrator] Beverly has a lifetime of experience

hunting creatures three times her size.

She begins with a PSR of 6.8

[Brandon] It's about to get weird.

The sun's gonna see things

that have never seen the sun before.

So it's my last night at work.

[Man speaking]

[Brandon] All right. You guys gonna miss me?

- Suck it up, buttercup. - Suck it up, buttercup.

They're gonna miss me.

I grew up in New York state and running barefoot

in the woods and shooting slingshots at squirrel.

I have seven children.

A day in my house is like a circus.

What do you guys think I'm gonna see an Africa?

- Hippo. - A hippo, black bird.

Black mamba.

[Brandon] The skills that I have now,

I learned in the military.

Part of my drive to do this is the American spirit,

just a drive to want to be the best that I can be.

And I don't like to accept defeat.

I would never tap out.

[All] No one's tapping.

[Narrator] Brandon has battled-tested experience in survival.

He sets out with a PSR of 6.9.

[Tense music playing]

There's a whole lot of animals out here

that we don't have in Indiana.

[Laughs] It's only on my wall, thankfully.

If it was this close out there,

then it's too damn late.

I joined the national guard when I was 33.

With my military training, I'm coming into this

with skills for survival.

Shelter-making, fire.

I've done this before.

I was in a 21-day challenge in Colombia,

but I only made it to day 20 last time.

I said 21.

And that's what I'm doing this time.

I'm here to serve my country right

by proving that I can do this.

[Narrator] Jessica has shown resilience both in the army

and in the wild.

She begins with a PSR she earned

at the end of her last challenge, 7.3.

Ooh, boy, this is happening.

[Jamie] So everybody asks, are you a real Scotsman?

And what they mean by that is are you wearing any underwear in your kilt?

The answer is no.

[Instrumental music playing]

Time to go. Let's get this done.

I don't really care about being naked.

I'm gonna rock out with my [bleep] out.

The ground is soft, which I hope it stays soft.

- Hello, partner. - Another naked person.

- [Laughs] Hi, I'm Jessica. - Jessica. Brandon.

- Nice to meet you. - Brandon, nice to meet you.

- All right. - Nice tattoo.

- What's that all about? - Oh, thank you.

That is representing native American heritage.

And also I served in military.

- So did I. - Yeah?

I have quite kind of the similar thing

- going on in the back. - Oh, nice.

[Brandon] Both military and law enforcement for me.

- [Jessica] Okay. - So how do you feel about being naked?

Uh, I've done this before, so.

- You've done it before? - [Jessica] Yeah.

- How? - I was, uh, in Columbia.

- [Thunder rumbling] - [Jessica] Everything's wet.

- Cold. - [Man speaking]

It was actually, um, a situation where I had a partner

and he tapped out in the second morning.

Really?

- [Man speaking] - Okay.

I couldn't leave somebody like that.

So I went as long as I possibly could.

- [Brandon] By yourself? - By myself.

Made it to day 20, and hypothermia kicked in

- and kicked [bleep] - Oh.

[Jessica] So damn hard.

This is the coldest I've been so far.

I don't wanna quit.

[Crew speaking]

- [Brandon] That sucks. - Yeah.

- I have some unfinished business. - Right.

When I say I'm gonna do something, I'm going to.

The medical tap out, it was heartbreaking.

Um, and hypothermia, I don't wanna do that again.

Damn sure I'm making it to day 21 here.

[Brandon] We're gonna make it through this one.

- Hell yeah we are. - Together.

Yeah. Knuckle bump.

I'm looking forward to seeing,

um, how this partnership will go.

Um, it's still kind of early.

He hasn't done one and I have,

but I'm gonna be optimistic.

Let's not let mother nature kick our asses here.

- Yeah. She's gonna try though. - [Brandon] She's gonna try.

Yeah.

I think that's my partner there.

Wait. My partner's walking towards me and thought,

wow, she's very attractive.

I kept having to tell myself this is a challenge, Jamie,

this is a challenge, a survival challenge.

So I'm starting to see my partner in the distance.

Uh, he's definitely a little bit easy on the eyes.

- Hello. - Hi.

- I'm Beverly. - Beverly, my name is Jamie.

- [Beverly] Nice to meet you. - Yeah. Where are you from?

- [Beverly] I'm from Canada. - Canada.

- [Beverly] Yes. - Can you guess where I'm from?

- Somewhere with an accent? - Scotland. [Laughs]

Scotland. Okay.

That was gonna be my next guess.

- [Jamie] Uh, yeah. - Yeah.

So naked in Africa.

[Beverly] Well, yeah, exactly.

I mean if you wanna have a good look, this is me.

- There you go. - [Beverly] There we go.

[Laughter]

So now we got that awkwardness out of the way.

- [Jamie] Yup. - Uh, why don't we check out our stuff?

- Yup. Yeah. Let's see. - [Beverly] All right.

[Narrator] Each team has brought a weapon

for a hunting game.

I have my arrows here and with my, um, recurve bows.

- I brought a slingshot. - Okay.

[Brandon] Small game out here is abundant.

[Narrator] As well as a blade.

They've also been given a pot for hydration,

and a fire starter as fire is essential

to protect against deadly predators.

- This is what I got. - [Brandon] You got the map?

- Let's check this out. - Quick gander.

[Brandon] Oh, I think we're right here.

We need to establish a camp near water.

[Jessica] Mmm-hmm. We got rhino.

[Brandon] And hippo. Make sure we're keeping

- a good distance from them. - Yeah,

let's take advantage of this weather. It's not too hot right now.

-[Brandon] Absolutely. Let's get going. -And I guess head that way.

[Narrator] For the first 10 days of the challenge,

Jessica and Brandon will attempt to survive

along the Kowie river,

an area with aggressive black rhino,

who establish territory by challenging another bull for space.

Black rhino will fight themselves to the death

and have the highest recorded rate of mortal combat of any mammal.

Let's hit the road and see what we can come up with.

All right. Let's do this.

[Narrator] Jamie and Beverly will try to survive

in an equally threatening environment.

In a valley where leopards target their prey from trees,

and share canopies with territorial baboons

who will retaliate when threatened

and are known even to attack leopards.

[Jamie] A bit chilly, isn't it?

[Beverly] It is a wee bit chilly, yeah.

[Narrator] Both teams will need to be prepared

for weather swings. The summer months

are the windiest time of year in Pondoland.

Here, elevated terrain along the coastal belt

channels southeasterly winds that can bring

powerful storms, and make it feel 10 degrees

colder than the air temperature.

Both having military backgrounds,

- I think that gives us a good... - Right. -I think...

Opportunity to handle this together well.

[Jessica] Hopefully.

[Brandon] That's a black rhino marking.

[Jessica] We can tell because rhinos dump their dung

into the ground to mark their territory.

- [Brandon] Yeah. - It's nerve-racking

because we don't know where they're at.

They could be, you know, 20 feet in front of us

behind a bush that we don't even see them

until it's too late, and they're charging us.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Beverly] Oh, wow. Look at that view.

-[Jamie] Oh, wow. -[Beverly] Oh, man. I feel like...

[Jamie] So we must have started the way over there.

- There's progress. - [Beverly] There is.

But we're staying on track.

- [Beverly] Oh, look at this. - [Jamie] Oh, wow.

Wow. Look at this.

Something got ate and scattered all through here.

[Jamie] I know.

-It's a great ambush point. -[Beverly] It is. Oh, absolutely.

[Jamie] It is.

[Tense music playing]

Oh, there's our water source.

- [Jamie] Oh, yes. - [Beverly] Oh, my gosh.

That is so exciting. I was getting so thirsty.

- Woo. - It's very murky.

- I would say we're gonna have to boil it. - [Jamie] Oh.

- A lot longer than what we have to. - [Jamie]Yeah, without a doubt.

[Beverly] We are definitely gonna need

to build a boma, that's for sure.

- [Jamie] Let's see what we can find. - [Beverly] Okay.

That tree over there, do you think that's good to build around?

That one's already got all the thorns and everything on it.

Our water source is right there.

- [Jamie] Yeah. - [Beverly] Uh, we don't have to go too far.

- Yeah, let's get to it. - Let's get started. All right.

Let's get started.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jamie] What we're building right now

is what you called a boma.

Just a surrounding wall of your camp of Thorn bushes.

And what it does is it deters any predators

from entering your camp.

[Brandon] Down in here is the riverbank.

It actually smells like [bleep]

[Jessica] You know what that means.

[Brandon] Yeah, animals.

This bank is steep.

If we're gonna be close to the water,

that's the best spot.

If there are hippos in this water,

they can't climb up a steep bank.

So I like this spot in here.

We can set up a boma for the night.

- Yeah. All right. - [Brandon] All right?

- Good deal. - [Brandon] Let's get to work.

[Suspenseful music playing]

Ouch.

[Beverly] Okay. We're getting there.

What do you say we get some water going as well?

- Yeah. Let's do that. - [Beverly] Okay.

We are losing water fast.

I'm starting to feel a little bit tired.

Jamie is gonna continue working on boma

and so I'm actually just getting ready

to, um, build a fire.

Yes. Keep going, keep going.

Jamie, fire.

We have fire.

It's just very exciting knowing that we got fire.

We can get some water boiling,

we can finish our boma, um, especially I don't know

how long it's gonna be, maybe a couple of hours before nightfall.

Um, it's gonna be a lot of predators are coming around

especially to, um, the water source.

Get this boiling.

[Thunder rumbling]

[Jessica] All right. Hear that thunder?

- Yeah, I heard that. - [Jessica] Yeah.

[Brandon] We're gonna be all right.

- [Jessica] I know. - We're not gonna panic,

- we're gonna be fine. - [Jessica] I know.

I don't like the clouds when I see them coming.

Brings back memories of cold, wet, and hypothermia.

I don't wanna have that happen here.

If we don't have fire, we won't make it.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Brandon] How are you doing there?

[Jessica] Got better days. This fire is not working.

-Okay. I can't right now. -[Brandon] Help me out and don't panic.

- I'm doing the... - I'm not panicking,

I'm just getting frustrated.

- I'm really... - [Brandon] Worried about rain?

- [Jessica] Yeah. - [Brandon] Okay.

- Like we got it all. - If we don't get fire,

we're gonna be suffering tonight.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jessica speaking]

[Brandon speaking]

[Jessica speaking]

[Suspenseful music playing]

They've survived extreme environments.

They've survived extreme wildlife.

[Roaring]

Come on! Yes. [Crying]

But can they survive... [bleep]

Extreme dating?

[Laughing]

No.

I haven't seen this much action in years.

Good night.

He had a [bleep]

I'm cute. What can you do?

Others break down.

There's just certain things

I just don't wanna deal with right now.

There is zero percent sexual attraction.

I honestly feel like I'm about to throw up.

This is dating... she's so beautiful... gone...

Eyes up here, bud. Wild.

Sorry, mom.

Naked and afraid of love.

Streaming now on discovery+.

[Jessica] You got it.

Yes. Man.

I smell fire, good job.

You keep doing that, I'll keep doing this.

[Brandon] We have to keep pushing

to get this done before dark.

We're running on daylight.

[Jamie] Is that rain?

- It is rain. - [Jamie] Great.

Yeah. You're good chopping that.

[Jamie] Just trying to stay focused,

clear the vein out of my head and just keep on going.

Even though it's raining, it's still quite warm

and we're perspiring quite heavily.

[Beverly] This water should be cool down enough

- if you wanna have a drink. - [Jamie] That looks so clean.

- [Beverly] It does. - [Jamie] All right.

Oh, that tastes awful, but we need it.

[Coughs]

Hopefully I can just get used to drinking this water,

but, oh, my god.

It's not really setting well with my stomach.

Oh, I might be sick.

[Coughs]

[Jamie speaking]

[Beverly] Oh, not gonna have any more of that tonight

as much as I need water.

Hopefully no more throwing up because that was not fun.

[Beverly coughs]

[Beverly speaking]

[Jamie speaking]

[Beverly speaking]

[Jamie speaking]

[Tense music playing]

[Jessica] The rain's kind of scary.

[Brandon] Did your guys' fire go out in Colombia?

[Jessica speaking]

- Holy [bleep] - [Jessica] yeah.

So this is your luck?

[Jessica] This is horrible.

First night in the boma together.

- [Jessica] Yeah. - And we're [bleep] naked.

[Thunder rumbling]

[Jessica speaking]

[Brandon speaking]

[Beverly] It was very cold last night.

- [Jamie] Yeah. - [Coughs]

I am not feeling good at all.

Once again I threw up this morning.

I definitely can't drink that water.

So we're gonna have to figure out a way

where we can filter the water and purify it

a little bit more so hopefully I can keep it down.

[Grunts]

How are you feeling?

[Beverly] Not good at all.

I'm just struggling to even walk.

I'm just trying to get materials so I can make a filter,

but I cannot even do that right now.

If you want you can just sit in there by the fire.

Yeah.

Okay.

[Brandon] I'm worried about rain without shelter.

We're gonna utilize bark-like shingles to create a roof.

[Brandon] It's like a lean-to.

Let's knock this out.

[Brandon] Day one was pretty awful.

Definitely a reality check like we're in South Africa

and South Africa decided to [bleep] on us night one.

So we're gonna building a lean-to structure

inside our boma which will kind of help retain

our body heat and the heat coming off the fire at night

and the roof does provide protection from the rain.

- What do you think? - It's looking good.

- [Brandon] Yeah? - And gonna get better, yeah.

-[Brandon] You gonna get more bark? -Yeah.

Yeah. Raining and cold did bring back memories,

but it also kind of instilled the fact

that I've done it once, I've pushed through

I can push through again, at least I still have my partner.

Brandon gets it, he's thinking of solutions

instead of letting panic set in.

- You got this? - [Brandon] Nope.

[Jessica] Too easy.

[Brandon] Too easy.

Too easy is a military term,

kind of like reverse psychology

just yell out and like "too easy"

and it kind of motivates you to get moving.

It's gonna slow down the beat of the raindrops, you know?

Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

Every little bit helps.

Too easy.

[Coughing]

Oh, god.

I'll be back.

[Beverly] Mmm-hmm.

[Jamie] To prepare for this journey,

I start to train myself to drink a lot

of manky river water.

She's just too sick, she can't even stand up.

Just reacts different from person to person,

happens all the team, so we need to come up

with a better water source for us.

So my next move is a gypsy well.

The main function of a gypsy well

is it creates a hole next to a water source.

The water seeps through over the sand

and the grit to the site and enters into the hole

and hopefully, it filters the water

and it get rids of any big bits of bacteria,

any parasites, things like that.

[Beverly coughing]

I can hear Beverly being sick,

so this is very important that we get this.

[Beverly] I already feel like I'm a letdown to my partner

because I should be helping getting firewood,

I should be enhancing our boma,

but I feel like I can't do anything right now.

[Jamie] The gypsy well maintains that you can drink

straight from it, but I'm gonna make sure

that's boiled for at least 10 minutes.

I'm gonna chuck this to the fire

and see if you like it.

[Beverly] Better than the other.

[Jamie] Yeah?

But it's still not good.

- [Jamie] All right. - Ugh, my god.

[Narrator] Dehydration can cause nausea

which can lead to vomiting making symptoms worse.

[Beverly] I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I can't go 21 days without water.

[Brandon] I'm trying to get a lot more firewood.

Remember what happened last night?

[Jessica] I mean I feel like we're definitely

ahead of the game from last night.

[Intense music playing]

Look at our wood production.

We're [bleep] ready for war.

[Ominous music playing]

[Brandon speaking]

- [Jessica] Yeah. - [Brandon speaking]

Is that too far from around here?

[Ominous music playing]

[Brandon speaking]

[Brandon speaking]

[Jessica speaking]

[Brandon speaking]

The rhino came in and was right over in here,

which our boma is right here.

- [Jessica] Right. - We sleep right there.

[Jessica] See how close it was.

[Brandon] It's a big animal that'd be coming

into where we sleep.

Good thing we have a boma.

[Brandon] Mmm-hmm.

Scary to think of how close the black rhino was

because for people to be that close to one,

they usually don't survive.

[Tense music playing]

How are you feeling, Beverly?

Um, not good at all.

I have no water, I have no energy,

I have nothing in my body right now.

I'm shaking because I'm a little bit cold,

but that's because I'm so weak.

I'm trying to run on empty

and it's proving to be quite difficult.

Ugh.

This is the lowest I have ever been in my life.

Uh, with all due respect to Beverly,

for the past three days of being constantly

doing all the work,

but it's that just we've got to do.

If you're in survivor situation with a partner.

I don't want Beverly tapping out,

jeopardizes my challenge,

so just weaving a little basket.

That's honestly the last resort.

I can't afford to lose my partner.

I want us both to succeed in this.

[Intense music playing]

Too far.

Last night, we heard a black rhino

and it's just a reminder

not to get complacent out here.

But I generally feel like I'm slowing down

at this point and I know I have to eat

so I'm motivated to get out and find something

for both of us to eat today.

There's a baboon sitting right up here

looking down at me.

There's a couple of ducks.

So I went around to take the shot,

they just scattered.

The ducks are hard to get.

Their eyesight is really good,

so I'm gonna have to be a lot sneakier

if I'm gonna catch them.

There's crabs all over in here.

There's one there, and there's one out there, too.

[Bleep] Come here.

This is definitely edible.

You're gonna be dinner.

Yay, dinner.

There's more in here.

I saw two of them, so I'm not done.

There's one.

Success.

Lunch, breakfast, whatever you wanna call it.

We're gonna eat these for sure.

It's not a lot of proteins, but it's better than nothing.

I think the baboons are getting curious.

They're a bit loud.

All right. I'm gonna start heading back.

There's definitely a group of baboons.

Their calls are getting a little closer.

I know they can be dangerous.

I mean they could move down this cliff-face really fast

if they wanted to.

Baboons usually send, uh, one or two scouts

to see what's actually going on

before they move in their whole troop.

I don't need to be attacked by baboons.

- Hey, partner. - Yeah.

[Upbeat music playing]

[Jessica] Oh, we're gonna eat good.

- Yeah. We got dinner, baby. - Hell, yeah.

Woo.

- There we go, too easy. - Too easy.

I don't know if it's just happiness or smoke in my eyes,

I'm getting teary-eyed.

[Tense music playing]

[Jessica] We have food. We have two crabs.

We don't have to fight over one.

I'm just looking forward to eating.

I'm hungry.

Cheers.

Tastes great, even without the butter.

[Brandon] It actually tastes pretty decent, too.

I just saw a group of baboons.

[Jessica] I could hear them. We're really gonna need

to make sure we keep our fire going to keep them out.

Yeah.

Really hope this works to finish

the structure of the water filter.

So first, I'm just gonna put some stones in the bottom

to stop any grass and sand mixing in with the water.

We'll get a layer of grass to put on top of that now.

I'm gonna put a slight layer of charcoal.

It really just purifies the water.

The moment of truth.

Here we go.

[Ominous music playing]

[Jamie] It's crucial to survival.

Okay. I would say that's about done.

It's boiling pretty well.

I really, really hope this works.

[Beverly] Thank you.

[Jamie] I'll hold it.

Is that a better water?

Um, no, it's okay...

- Is that all right? - I'm just gonna

- take a few sips for now. - [Jamie] Yeah.

- Just little sips. - Thank you.

It tastes better than what I've been drinking before.

It's not as bad so hopefully, I can keep this down.

I hope so.

I just can't stop shaking.

[Jamie] This is day three.

In normal conditions,

you can go three days without water

but in these conditions, one day, two days,

she's lucky she's made it this far.

[Vomits]

[Jamie] That's it.

Jamie to medic, Jamie to medic.

Jamie to medic, Jamie to medic.

[Francis speaking]

I'm not good at all.

[Francis speaking]

Okay.

[Francis speaking]

- So, zero water. - [Francis] Okay.

- Very, very weak. - [Francis] Very weak?

- Yeah. I can barely move. - [Francis] Okay.

Your heart rate is up.

So it's... this is quite concerning

from a medical point of view.

It's, uh, extremely important, uh, to rehydrate.

Uh, severe dehydration could lead to organ shutdown.

Beverly's been vomiting and nothing is staying in

even though she's tried to drink the water.

This is quite concerning.

It's my medical opinion that she should be removed

from the challenge.

[Jamie] That's horrible.

I didn't wanna go out like this.

Just whenever you're ready, take your time.

- So sorry. - No, don't worry.

You're a freaking rock star. You got this.

- You got this. - Don't worry about it at all.

I'm gonna leave my bow and arrows with you, so...

I really appreciate that. Thanks very much.

You're gonna do great.

[Dramatic music playing]

[Producer speaking]

[Medic speaking]

[Producer speaking]

Right now, I'm wishing that I wasn't tapped

for such a stupid reason

like not being able to drink the water.

Guys, there's different stuff in this water

that my body just can't handle.

I am very disappointed.

I came in here to do 21, only to do three days.

I am very sorry to leave my partner.

I let him down so much.

He is a warrior, he's a fighter,

and he's got this challenge to day 21 a hundred percent.

[Narrator] Beverly exits the challenge

more than 10 lbs lighter than when she arrived.

Her PSR drops from 6.8 to 5.2.

[Jamie speaking]

I'm ready. Bring it on.

On my first day alone, time to go hunting.

Back home, hunting is really hard to do,

bow hunting especially, that's completely illegal.

I can some tracks.

It could be a very small impala.

[Bleep] Too far away.

[Brandon] We've had minimal protein.

We've had a couple crabs.

I noticed the weakness starting to set in.

So I would like to do some more duck hunting today.

[Jessica] So my partner went to go look for some food.

Go, Brandon, go.

And it's my time to do my part.

So I'm going to look for scorpions.

You can stop right there. Sorry, dude.

[Narrator] South Africa is home to three species

of highly dangerous thick tail scorpions

whose sting can be deadly,

but they also provide significant nutrition

and contain over 50% protein.

[Jessica] Oh, there's another.

[Brandon] I missed another duck.

[Jessica] I went out to go flip some rocks

and found two scorpions.

[Brandon] Nice.

[Dramatic music playing]

[Brandon] I'm pretty hungry.

Yeah.

Crispy, and toasty, and burnt, just how I like it.

Like my marshmallows.

Good job on this, by the way.

I could eat, like, 20 more literally.

- Yeah. - That's cool.

[Dramatic music playing]

This is probably where we'll see some hyrax.

Those hyrax are descendants of elephants.

It's strange to think that.

They're so small.

It's a hyrax and it's watching me.

[Bleep]

[Dramatic music playing]

I got so, so close.

It's a disappointment.

[Dramatic music playing]

[Jessica] Well, I can feel the breeze coming in.

Oh. [Bleep]

- [Brandon] You all right? - [Jessica] I'm good.

[Jessica speaking]

[Brandon speaking]

[Dramatic music playing]

- [Brandon] This morning... - [Jessica] Yeah.

[Brandon] ...I woke up with vertigo.

- [Jessica] Oh. - [Brandon] Which was discerning to me.

I think it's the lack of sleep because it's a mind thing.

[Narrator] Stress, ear infections,

and other factors can cause vertigo,

the sensation that the environment is spinning.

[Jessica] Last night was horrible.

Gather more greenery for the top of the roof

to help plug in any extra holes or gaps.

- Hopefully, this will help them. - Yeah.

I haven't had luck duck hunting,

so we're running low on energy sources.

We need to focus on what's important,

and that's making it through the night right now

when we have no calories to burn to stay warm.

[Dramatic music playing]

Been drawing my wee pal, sir Benjamin Littlefoot.

My little dog is 13.

I didn't think I'd be craving company

as much as I am right now.

But when you have nothing,

when you have no food, you have pond water to drink.

Me wee stone of Bennie and you've only got that

to look forward to, you get a bit lonely.

I'm actually starting to crave some human company,

just someone I can talk to.

[Dramatic music playing]

Yeah, okay.

[Bleep]

It doesn't stop.

[Brandon speaking]

- It's okay. - This one's lasting longer than the last ones.

Brandon, he's been having his bouts of vertigo,

which was nerve-racking.

I hope he can hang in there.

It's kind of scary, for me being alone

and for my partner and his health.

[Brandon speaking]

Almost makes me wanna puke.

[Dramatic music playing]

This isn't good.

It's raining. My fire.

My fire was just smoldering away.

It's still going.

[Jamie speaking]

[Groans]

It's [bleep] freezing.

This is where I ask myself why the hell am I doing this?

Back, still stronger than ever. God!

[Jamie speaking]

[Yells]

[Thunder rumbling]

[Jamie] Horrible, dreadful, freezing cold.

[Jamie speaking]

Last night, we got some heavy rainstorms.

And unfortunately, wee Bennie's face

kinda got washed out.

I just feel as though I spent my time here

getting really, really, really lonely, hungry.

Today, the plan is to hike on out of here,

try and find a new location for a couple of days

to see me until merge.

And I'm hoping there's gonna be some big game as well,

more than this area. Do a bit of hunting.

I really don't know what I'm getting into,

but I'm willing to put in the effort

just to get out here and experience something new.

And then on merge day, on day 11,

it's just a nice wee stroll down the river.

Got my grass kilt for now.

I'm really doing Scotland proud.

Doing this hike today, I would've needed

to do a similar hike on day 11.

And, of course, if I waited till day 11,

I'd have probably expelled more energy.

But I've got a long way to go.

[Narrator] Jamie is choosing to leave his survival area two days early,

deviating from the direct route

that leads to the merge point.

He follows the river.

[Dramatic music playing]

- [Brandon] Freaked out. - [Jessica] Oh, yeah.

What your body's going through,

what it's been through.

Lack of sleep, the heat, the cold, lack of food.

[Brandon] Oh, yeah.

[Jessica] I should go out there and go find

a bunch of scorpions for you or something.

My partner in Colombia left on his own terms

because he was hungry and it was raining.

He just wasn't in the right mindset.

This time, with my partner, Brandon,

is in the right mindset, but unfortunately,

we're just kind of running low on resources.

My goal is for both of us to make it to day 21.

[Dramatic music playing]

Got me a lizard.

[Brandon] Yo, yo.

So I got you a lizard.

[Brandon] This looks just like a leopard gecko.

[Jessica] Mmm-hmm. That's my battle buddy.

We watch over our battle buddies and I'm nervous.

So he's been having vertigo.

It's been four days since we had anything to eat.

Scorpions and a small lizard aren't enough.

What we could do... [Brandon speaking]

[Jamie] I think it's a good call.

[Brandon] We wanna move out of here as soon as possible

and have more of an opportunity to thrive

versus totally just being resilient and surviving.

[Jessica speaking]

A little bit. Let's look around and see

if we can find a couple crabs and...

Hopefully we get some food before our trip.

It's just gonna take every bit of that energy

- and we're gonna be like... - [Brandon] We're gonna need it.

[Suspenseful music playing]

Even though the sun's not as hot just now,

it still burns,

and I can't feel my skin burning at all,

so that's a good sign that the clay's working.

But at the same time, it's very,

very draining physically.

Ow.

This is hard terrain that I'm walking on,

basically just walking on thorns.

Wow.

I see water.

So I'm just heading towards the river

down at the bottom of this mountain.

See anything, partner?

Mother nature is a bitch sometimes.

Let's head back to the boma. It's the best thing

we can do right now, conserve energy.

It could always be worse.

Heading towards these white cliffs here,

maybe some sort of overhang or cave system

where we can call shelter if there's water there.

I need a drink.

Fast.

[Suspenseful music playing]

Holy [bleep].

- This is a surprise. - Yeah.

Another naked person.

I need a drink.

Fast.

Holy [bleep].

Another naked person. What's up?

- Wow. - Hey.

- [Brandon] How we doing? - Yeah, I'm good. You?

- [Brandon] Good. - [Jessica] Yeah.

- This is a surprise. - [Brandon] Yeah.

- [Jessica] Yeah, it is. - [Jamie] These things.

[Jessica] Bam. There's another naked person.

We didn't expect to see another naked person

for a few days.

- Brandon. - Brandon, I'm Jamie.

- Jamie, nice to meet you. - Okay.

- Jessica. Hi. - Jessica, I'm Jamie.

- You got a nice bow. - Yeah.

Thank you very much. This is made by my partner, Beverly.

My partner left in day three, six days I've been alone.

- Damn. - Six days?

- [Jamie] So it's been lonely. - Wow.

Poor guy though, he looks like he's been through the ringer.

That was some hike.

- Yeah. - [Brandon] Right.

[Jamie] No water.

- Well, come drink our water. - Yeah.

Oh, that'd be really cool if that's all right.

- [Brandon] Right. - Let's go for that.

All right. The more the merrier.

So Jamie, where are you from?

I'm from Scotland.

[Brandon] Scotland? That's awesome.

- We're from the us. - [Jamie] Cool.

My partner, Beverly, she was from Toronto, in Canada.

- [Brandon] Toronto? - [Jessica] Oh, wow.

Well, I'm sorry your partner left you, man.

I know how that goes.

You've been on a challenge before?

Yes.

- [Jamie] Oh, wow. - Yeah.

My partner left on day two.

- [Jamie] Day two? - [Jessica] In Colombia.

I made it to day 20 and then hypothermia got me.

Oh, my god.

Jessica seems like a really strong person.

To hear that she's out here,

doing this challenge again,

hearing all that was amazing.

[Brandon] Good. It's good to have you, man.

Thanks very much.

I appreciate that.

[Suspenseful music playing]

Oh, my.

It's nice to just... my mouth is so, so dry.

That hike was, I wanna say unreal.

[Brandon] So you're on the move to get closer to merge?

- [Jamie] Yeah, yeah. - [Brandon] Okay.

One of the main reasons why I had to leave

was I've been there for six days alone,

freezing, with no food.

It just feels as though I had to get away.

And, so today, I've just walked all the way along here,

up a massive mountain, and then back down.

[Jessica] Have you seen any impala on the way?

No. None at all.

Any bushbuck?

No.

[Jessica] So we do need to move, then.

We're looking to also move.

It's been kind of a struggle bus for us,

not getting food, not getting energy.

I may have pushed myself a little too far,

because the past couple days, I've been having vertigo.

- Oh, really? - I'm getting [bleep] spins.

I think we should honestly move tomorrow.

It's really up to youse.

I'm ready to go.

That sounds good, maybe closer to extraction.

[Brandon] Absolutely.

Yeah. Bring it on.

To have two other people along with me

after so long of doing everything myself,

it's a breath of fresh air.

We've came together, we've formed a tribe

it should make us even stronger.

Let's get the hell out of here as soon as possible.

[Brandon] Right.

Jamie is a great fit for Jess and I.

I love his resiliency.

He might be from the other side of the world,

but we have the same goal,

and that's surviving and making it

to the end of the 21 days.

Now it's time to finish this [bleep] together.

Definitely. I agree.

We're out here and we're allies now.

America and Scotland are allies.

[Ominous music playing]

[Brandon] I don't know how we're gonna do this.

[Jamie speaking]

[Brandon] Yeah?

[Jamie] Night, night.

Yeah, it's night, night.

- [Jamie] Yeah. - [Jessica laughs]

And I’m... and I’m pretty [bleep] stoked.

I got... I got two battles now, not just one.

[Jessica] Mmm-hmm. Are you okay over there Jamie?

[Jamie] Yeah, I'm feeling really good actually.

[Brandon] I got nowhere to go.

[Jessica] And I think I'm gonna be

really warm tonight guys, thank you.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Elephant trumpets]

Today we're gonna... We're gonna move forward.

Find a new location.

On our way to warm.

I had really tough fight yesterday,

another tough fight today but never give up.

Never quit.

We're right in here.

We wanna be halfway to extraction.

If we can get as close as those caves

- that'd be cool. - Mmm-hmm.

[Jamie] Hopefully there'll be animals there.

- [Jessica] Oh, yeah. - All right.

- Let's go. - Are you ready?

- Let's roll. - Let's do this.

[Jessica] At this location we've been at,

it's been very scarce with the food

and we've got three mouths to feed

so we've got to move.

Oh, let's do this.

Let's go to our new home.

[Narrator] For the three-mile trek to their new campsite,

the group will head south

past the dangerous baboon caves.

They must also navigate their way through dense forest

and plains carpeted with bindi,

a weed that produces seeds covered with hook spines

that can easily pierce human skin.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jamie] Oh, man.

The sun just beats straight down on top of you,

especially climbing up the mountain.

It just zaps all your calories,

- your hydration. - Right.

[Baboon screaming]

[Brandon] Hear that?

[Jessica] Oh, yeah.

Sounds like baboon.

I want them to stay away.

Let's get out of this place.

Up the hill.

Through the hill.

[Bleep] The hill.

[Jessica] Won't miss those baboons.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jamie] It's a lot more difficult

than yesterday's hike.

My mouth is unbelievably dry.

[Jessica] We're definitely feeling the dehydration

because the sun is just scorching

but we're gonna get there.

We came too far to stop now.

[Brandon] I'm definitely feeling the heat.

My mouth is dry.

There's thorns everywhere.

Both of my feet are covered in little thorns.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jamie] Brandon, did you go away,

just left after the fallen tree?

Brandon.

Watch yourself.

[Jessica] Brandon.

[Jamie] Oh, man.

Brandon.

[Jessica] We're coming around the corner

and I see Brandon, all of a sudden, sitting down.

Something's not okay.

And I'm not sure.

Something's not okay.

I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

I'm gonna throw up.

Like I'm [bleep] spinning.

[Jessica] I definitely see symptoms of dehydration,

maybe heat exhaustion.

I just got this gut instinct that this isn't good.

[Brandon] Now I'm getting a crushing headache.

[Jessica] I know you're tough.

I know it [bleep] sucks.

[Jamie] By staying here, we're actually jeopardizing

in building a secured boma at the new location.

But right now I think it's...

I think it's the right thing to do.

Stick as a tribe.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Brandon] The one thing I just noticed too

is both of my ears are ringing really, really loud.

I kinda feel what he's feeling

but from what I can see, it's getting quite concerning.

[Brandon] My headache's getting [bleep] worse.

I feel like I'm gonna pass out.

[Narrator] As Brandon's condition grows more severe,

a producer steps in.

What's going on?

I don't feel okay.

I'm still having blurry vision

but my headache has gotten worse.

It went from the back of my head to the front.

And now it's started to just push into my whole head

and I can feel, literally,

my heart beating in my forehead.

[Lauren] Okay.

It is the same [bleep] was going on the other day.

It's just now it's worst and it's not stopping.

[Malcolm] Brandon describes vertigo.

His head is spinning.

He's having trouble keeping his balance.

He's feeling weak.

He's feeling nauseous.

Mmm-hmm.

- [Malcolm speaking] - Yeah.

- [Malcolm speaking] - No.

I've never felt, like, this close to passing out ever.

[Narrator] Serious cases of vertigo

can make it impossible to balance or do basic tasks.

It can also be a sign of acute medical issues.

Intense heat and dehydration can make symptoms worse.

[Malcolm] At this stage, he needs to rehydrate.

He needs to rest.

And he needs to allow his body a chance to recover

or that could have potential long-term consequences.

There's no water out here.

I wanna be here but, ultimately,

my health is more important.

I'm gonna tap, 'cause I genuinely feel like I need to.

This isn't worth injuring myself over.

Hey, we'll get you out of here.

Bye.

Saying goodbye to Brandon is pretty sad

at the same time, I kinda feel relieved

in a sense because I want him to take care of himself.

Goodbye, guys. My spirit will be with you.

[Jessica] This isn't my first partner to leave

but this situation is much different.

This is definitely not like my partner from Colombia.

This is a situation out of necessity.

Not mad at him at all and he does not need any haters.

I definitely don't see this coming,

I thought we were gonna be a good tribe

and I thought we were gonna push through it today.

And that's a big blow.

I agree.

[Brandon] If your body tells you to stop,

your body tells you stop

and it's okay to listen to it.

And that's why I’m comfortable walking away.

I'm a tough guy, but I'm a dad.

I have seven kids and that's what I need to worry about.

[Narrator] Dehydrated and weak,

Brandon is unable to fight off

the extreme headaches and vertigo.

His early temp drops his PSR from a 6.9 to a 5.9.

[Jessica] It's time for us to get moving.

The sun has got down pretty fast...

- [Jessica] Yeah. - But we'll get going, yeah.

[Jessica] I definitely believe things happen for a reason.

I believe I'm supposed to be walking out

at day 21 with Jamie.

His partner was Beverly, my partner was Brandon,

two Bs had to leave, the two Js are walking out.

Where do you wanna go?

Like up and over?

Yeah. Let's do that.

[Narrator] With only two hours of sunlight remaining,

Jamie and Jessica must hike another mile

to reach their new water source.

[Suspenseful music playing]

- [Jamie pants] - Ow.

My feet are taking a beating.

These thorns are no joke.

Oh, [bleep].

[Jamie] That'd go right through your foot.

It's a very strange and unfamiliar environment.

It's almost like a desert covered in Thorn bushes.

This is unreal.

Right now, my feet are absolutely torn up

but we've got a job to do today.

And I'm just... I just keep on pushing forward.

That is crazy.

Easy does it.

[Suspenseful music playing]

Wow! There we go.

Nice streams.

Oh.

[Jessica] Be careful.

It's kinda slippery.

It feels nice after walking through some thorns.

Cools our feet down.

We need to look out for some sort of cliffs on the left.

It shouldn't be too far from here.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jamie] Right. So, that is the rock that's on the map.

And that's our water source down there.

We set-up camp here like right there.

Looks like Thorn bushes.

[Jessica] Yeah.

I feel like it's already a good circle.

- [Jamie] And build around it, like a horse shoe. - Hmm-mmm.

As long as you're all right with that then I'm cool.

[Jessica] Sounds good.

[Jamie] I feel excited to see the new location.

It's near water, so we've picked our location

to set up a boma.

All we need to do really is close off the tree gaps

and between the bushes.

It was quite windy and the sun's coming down

pretty hard as well.

So, time is the key here.

Let's get a fire on and I'll get the boma,

so we're getting two things done at once.

[Jessica] I like it. All right.

Just collecting some thorns for our boma

just to secure that.

The wind is picking up big time

so I'm going as fast as I can.

[Jessica] I like the rocks because they seem

to help with the heat.

[Jamie] Definitely, I...

[Jessica] I feel overwhelmed. A little nervous.

I'm thinking of my other boma,

we had a roof and everything.

Had a nice little fire pit

and here I have to settle for a lot less

because the time that we had to make

whatever we have in front of us

and we have to make do with it.

We just need to face it.

I know we're gonna have a shelter tonight.

I'm gonna need you to just lie out,

put the fire right the length of our bodies

and just see what happens.

It's only for tonight.

[Jessica] Right.

Let's do that, yeah.

[Jamie] What a day, man. [Jessica] Yeah.

Just you and I now.

[Jamie] Oh, man. I pray that that wind stops and...

Now I'm just digging my little hole

so I can stay warm.

[Jamie] So that is in the shelter for tonight,

just dug out, like, almost like a grave.

So, winds pretty back tonight

and I've got some firewood hanging in there,

so we're just trying to stay as hot as possible.

[Jessica speaking]

[Jamie speaking]

[Jessica speaking]

- [Jamie] Yeah. - Yeah.

[Jamie speaking]

[Ominous music playing]

[Jamie speaking]

[Thunder rumbling]

[Jessica speaking]

It's cold.

I'm shivering.

Absolutely driving me crazy.

[Screams]

[Jessica speaking]

[Jamie speaking]

[Jessica speaking]

[Jamie] How are you feeling?

Miserable.

I'm [bleep] less than miserable.

Too cold to do anything else than be by this fire.

The last night was brutal

and it made me think of Colombia

when I was medically tapped for hypothermia.

There was a couple differences, though.

We made sure we had that fire going

and I also had my partner, Jamie.

That's one hell of a way

to get to know somebody what they're about.

The change and the contrast

and as weather from yesterday was like a line stretch.

[Jessica] Yeah.

[Jamie] Jessica was so close to tapping out.

So, I'm just hoping that she could get

to the end of the challenge

because I know how much this means to her.

[Narrator] A cold front has swept in

from the Indian ocean across the African plains

plunging temperatures 36 degrees in a single day.

And harsh 25-mile per hour winds

are making the 48-degree weather feel more like 40.

Just gotta wake up and get some [bleep] wood.

[Bleep] About.

[Jamie groans]

Oh, that wind.

[Sighs] Here we go.

Never quit.

Never give up.

You know we could just stuff one on each end.

[Narrator] Jamie and Jessica are building a lean

to inside their boma using two y-shaped beams

that will support a larger crossbeam.

Against this, they'll lean poles

that they'll layer with olive branches

to form a roof, protecting them

from the freezing rain.

[Jessica] It's cold. It's really cold.

I don't wanna have a repeat of Colombia.

I definitely don't wanna just succumb

to the elements that I feel like I can beat.

It's getting there slow and steady.

[Jamie] All right.

Aye.

[Laughing]

I can't do Scottish.

[Jamie speaking]

Right now, I’m... [laughing]

It's like a London accent,

- "right now, I'm just..." - [Jessica] Right now.

He is actually pretty funny.

He's trying to teach me to speak Scottish.

But apparently, I have a London accent.

What's the difference between London and Scot?

They're totally different.

Oh, bloody hell.

That is hilarious, man.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jessica] Improvements have happened in the boma.

[Jamie] This is the shelter.

So, we're getting there.

[Ominous music playing]

[Thunder rumbling]

[Jessica speaking]

[Jamie speaking]

- Freezing, man. - [Jessica] Mmm-hmm.

[Jamie] Cold. Cold.

Oh, man.

[Jessica] I don't know how much more a person can take.

[Dramatic music playing]

[Jessica speaking]

Yeah. I mean, I'm only human.

That sun needs to come out and dry up all this rain.

This rain needs to stop...

Or I'm not exactly sure

what's gonna happen for me personally.

[Jamie] We need firewood.

Hopefully, they're gonna stop before we use all of it.

[Jamie] We're not gonna back out,

just got to keep on going

hopefully, there are drier days to come.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Crows cawing]

And just like that.

The rain stops.

Thank god.

It means we have got a dry spell.

Got to take the opportunities while it's there.

Everything is soaking wet.

We've nearly depleted all our firewood

just to try and keep the fire going.

[Jessica] Oh, my goodness.

[Jamie] I have reeds.

You sure do.

You... dude.

- [Jamie] I'm trying my best. - [Laughs]

What are you thinking? Just weaving it and fluff?

[Jessica] Mmm-hmm.

[Jamie] Good idea.

Ooh, oh, that wind.

[Jessica] Get in here, get warmed.

I have been able to reinforce

the boma for better insulation.

I hope tomorrow's warm so we can go out and explore.

As soon as I get decent sleep,

plus I want to do some hunting as well.

[Jessica] Exactly.

[Ominous music playing]

Even though it is about overcast today,

the night is looking good

and Jessica has got a lot done to the shelter,

this windbreaker has been put up,

the fire's going good.

Gonna need to keep drinking though,

and hopefully, we get a good sleep tonight

and I could do a bit of adventuring tomorrow.

[Jessica speaking]

[Ominous music playing]

[Jessica] I'm feeling a little weak.

We definitely need to eat.

We need to stay hydrated as well

but we need to get at least something.

I've been here before,

I think my mind is still in, you know,

in this challenge and I'm gonna keep pushing.

[Jamie] I woke up to a complete sunshine.

It's very important to get some warmth.

Burning a lot of calories just sitting there shivering.

Hunting and trapping back home, it's not what I do.

But we need to find some protein just to keep going.

I'll just tend to the fire and boil some water.

[Jamie] I'm just going up this way.

Good luck.

[Jamie] Thanks.

[Ominous music playing]

[Jamie] There's game trails everywhere,

there's animal droppings everywhere.

It seemed quite fresh as well,

it's very important to get some meat.

I've already done two hikes so far,

so my body is feeling it.

Even though I might feel full of energy,

it can happen at a split second.

I can collapse and that could lead

to further problems.

The wind's picking up and it's heading down that way

which is bad.

I'm sending my scent.

[Growling]

[Ominous music playing]

[Jamie] I thought I heard a bark,

it could be a warthog.

I'm pretty sure I heard noises.

Wow. Isn't that something?

It's a fresh kill from the looks of things.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jamie] It's a fresh kill from the looks of things.

Thought I heard something.

I'm just trying to be silent as possible.

It's a bush buck.

It looks a bit off, but there could be

good meat on the other side,

stomach looks a bit bloated,

I better watch I don't touch that.

I'll try and drag it back

to get as much as I can from it.

I'm not sure how Jessica is gonna feel

about this, of course, it's scavenged meat.

And I don't know if she'll be into that kind of thing.

Oh, my god.

I've been out here for two weeks now

and I'm feeling it, it's only a tiny bush buck

but it seems pretty heavy when I'm dragging it.

Wow.

[Jamie] I have food.

[Jessica] Dude, what?

[Jamie] Yup.

Holy [bleep].

It feels good to see those wads.

[Jessica] Jamie, you're awesome.

Wow.

[Jamie] I don't know if you'll like it.

- Why? Was it dead? - [Jamie] Yup.

[Jessica] Okay. So obviously, it was a kill from an animal.

That's a concern.

The meat could be spoiled inside.

It's bloated but it'll be fine,

that's good meat along the back.

The hide I can turn that using it to make shoes.

[Jessica] Okay.

We need food.

- Okay, I'll dress it just now. - [Jessica] Sounds good.

So, we'll just fry up what we can tonight.

We're gonna avoid certain areas

because we can't be picky out here.

You just got to be smart about it.

It's a wonderful feeling to know

we're gonna have some food tonight.

There's a lot of processing need to be done

and the sun is just about to go down.

So, I need to be really fast.

I'm using here an arrow head.

One little slip of that

and it could puncture the stomach called the gut sac

and that'll just ruin the meat entirely.

I need to really watch what I'm doing.

[Jessica] Hey, you're doing awesome.

I'm gonna start collecting more firewood.

All right. No problem.

Get some shoes out of that.

It's better, I felt it stick.

[Narrator] To avoid food poisoning,

Jamie harvests only the meat that looks red and healthy

about 16 oz along the bush buck's back

and discards the rest.

We should keep away any of those from the boma.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jessica] Tonight is all about keeping our boma safe.

Predators will be out.

They will smell the meat in the air

and they will come to our boma

so we'll make sure we've got plenty of firewood

to keep the fire blazing.

We're gonna make sure we stack high

with our acacia thorns.

We'll do what we got to do.

This is our boma.

[Suspenseful music playing]

- [Jamie speaking] - [Jessica speaking]

[Barks]

[Jessica speaking]

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jamie] I want this to hurry up so I can

get crackin' on this bloody hide, man.

[Jessica] Yeah. We'll tag team this hide. I...

[Jamie] Are you sure?

Can boil the water, I'll come find you, help you.

That sounds good.

Oh, my goodness, it's melting away, and it...

- I need to use a brain. - Okay.

[Jamie] Right now, I'm going to start

processing the hide to hopefully make some shoes

in a couple of days' time.

Smell of that is just horrible.

I'm using my stone and I rub the hide as much as I can

to try and get any tissue out any muscle off,

so it is a nice sheet of skin.

When I'm ready to turn the hide, I take the brains out

and rub it into the hide

and hopefully leave it to dry in the sun.

The brain just keeps it nice, firm, but flexible.

Just dig in and start rubbing.

- [Jamie] Yeah. - All right.

[Jamie] This whole process is absolutely disgusting.

I wanna make bad ass shoes with this, some moccasins.

- That's so cool. - Yeah.

[Jessica] We're definitely making sure

that we're comfortable and that's gonna help us

with our perseverance.

I mean, being comfortable is a huge thing.

I never did this in Colombia, that's for damn sure.

[Jamie] We're working as a good team.

That looks good.

Now, it's time for the drying process.

You can never guarantee how long that will take.

Great job.

[Jessica] Cool. Cool.

[Ominous music playing]

[Elephant trumpets]

Are you ready?

[Jessica] I'm ready. Let's do this.

[Jamie] It looks dry.

It's a little easier to cut.

[Jessica] I'm so indecisive.

Like I'm really shopping for shoes or something.

[Jamie] So I’m just making holes,

this is gonna fold over and latch together.

This has got to be as tight as possible.

Oh, that sun.

Sometimes it's unbearable.

I have low energy, like,

it's hot today.

Just folding it over, pointed toe.

How do they feel?

Feel good.

[Jessica] We got shoes.

[Jamie] Yeah.

[Jessica] The sun hit me hard

and started to realize I was feeling really sick,

really lightheaded.

I've been drinking enough water

for a couple hours now.

Slowly feeling better but not a hundred percent.

Oh, man.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

[Jamie] You sure you're okay?

[Jessica] Mmm-hmm.

[Jamie] You don't seem okay.

[Jessica] I thought I was drinking enough.

My body is starting to wind down.

But it's a little worrisome to think

"okay. Am I gonna have the energy

for the extraction hike?"

I don't think I'm gonna be very productive today.

I'm sorry.

[Jamie] Don't need sorry to me.

[Jessica] I might need you to boil mine for me.

That's fine.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Bleep]

We're both drained especially Jessica.

I'm just trying to look out for her.

I can definitely feel the strain myself as well.

I am pretty hungry.

My body's feeling it.

It's been a good few days

since we've eaten a bush buck,

I just need to find some food right now

especially coming up to extraction.

Wow. A massive crab.

Wow, look at that.

Ow, this guy is strong.

Ow [bleep] ow.

[Bleep] Ow.

[Grunts] Ow.

I'm gonna go to the water store.

That was good.

- [Laughs] That was American. - I'm from Texas

and I'm just chopping this tree up right now

just to pass over to my partner, Jessica,

so she can weave it into the roof

- and the shelter. - [Jessica laughs]

- That's no good, is it? - Yee-haw.

- I'm going to get a coffee. - [Jessica] Mmm-hmm.

I live in new Jersey, California.

Like, "oh my god."

Like this tree is, like, being totally destroyed.

Ow [grunts] [bleep].

- Jamie, are you good? - [Jamie] Ow.

I got a big massive [bleep] crab

but it's bitten the [Bleep] out me, man.

Ow, ow.

- Ow. - Did you get it?

I've got it. It's [Bleep] huge, man.

[Jessica] Wow. Oh, my god.

I'm so proud of you.

[Jamie] Look at this, so aggressive this guy.

Bust my nail open.

He was putting up a fight.

But that's good. I'm glad I've got a big crab.

Let's go back to the boma and feast.

[Dramatic music playing]

[Jessica] Oh, he's moving right now.

I'm so sorry Mr. Crabs but I'm hungry.

I'm thankful for my partner Jamie.

It's gonna be extremely beneficial for us

to have that food.

Get ready to feast on some delicious crab.

Bon appetite.

I never had a big crab like this.

They are so amazing.

The first bite just taste like chicken.

Wow. This is incredible.

[Jessica] All right. Delicious.

It's really good.

Tastes like energy.

I can feel nutrients go into my body

that's in desperate need of 'em.

[Jamie] Once I tried some of the crab

my energy and my thought process

just excelled beyond belief.

So...

[Jessica] Just ready for tomorrow.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Thunder rumbling]

[Thunder rumbling]

[Jessica speaking]

[Jamie speaking]

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Jessica] Got a rough night.

So cold.

It's extraction day and it is pouring down,

just raining constant all night,

so everything is soaked.

This place is haunted, man,

they just don't want you to be here,

you get [bleep] here.

- [Jessica] Just ready to go. - Let's go.

Mother nature is definitely giving us

a chilling farewell,

all right we need to get moving fast.

We'll get the map before we go.

That's here.

And we're gonna be walking along...

To the caves there, some stones actually

- we're looking for. - It's gonna be a difficult

walking through this area 'cause of the mud.

And get to that road there

and it leads straight to the extraction.

- Good to go? - Yeah.

Let's do this, man. Let's go. Yeah.

Let's get out of here.

[Narrator] Jamie and Jessica must hike for miles

through muddy terrain, and acacia forests

that conceal boomslang or tree snakes,

whose hemotoxic bite can cause victims to bleed

from their eyes.

And 300 lb warthogs

whose tusks can grow up to 10 in long.

The final stretch is a half mile hike

up a steep mountainside

where they'll meet their extraction vehicle

on a remote game trail.

[Jamie] There's lots of rain

and it's just constantly on my mind

what's gonna happen through this trek,

I'm apprehensive but we need to get it done.

Watch here.

It's cold. It's wet.

I'm not gonna miss this weather at all.

[Jessica] I'm a little nervous.

The rain could pick up, could come down harder,

it could come down colder, I guess.

Hold on.

This is a joke on my feet.

I kicked my shoes off, they weren't working.

Oh, man.

[Jessica] Damn it's steep.

[Bleep] Hey.

Are you all right? Are you okay?

[Jessica] Why me? Why?

- [Jamie] Oh, my god. - [Jessica] You good?

[Jamie] The rain is washing the game trails away

and it's extremely slide up, it's definitely dangerous.

[Jessica] That's what I'm saying.

Could get hypothermia on day 21.

Feel like I did in Colombia.

Cold.

The way of the hypothermia.

I have to take you out of this challenge.

[Jessica] One foot in front of the other.

Very dense vegetation.

- Oh. - [Jamie] [Bleep]

- Wow. - [Jessica] I was like...

[Jamie] That was so close, man, holy [bleep].

If that warthog caught one of us

that would've just sliced our leg to pieces.

That is dangerous, man.

[Jessica] That thing looks mad.

[Jamie] Oh, it's so cold, man.

As I breathe up that puts that chill

right through my body.

I just... I just need to get out of here.

Quick, keep moving fast.

I've came so far, I’m never gonna give up,

ask them all, never give up.

[Jessica] I'm so cold.

What's pushing me through

is to finally get on that truck

and turn around and saying I finished.

I did 21 days.

Oh, I'm just gonna [Bleep] power on.

[Jessica] Is this ever going to end?

You could feel it heating up a bit.

It feels good.

What a climb.

This is using every last bit of energy

just getting up here.

Hanging in there?

My feet are taking a beating, the stones.

[Jamie] Yup.

- All right. - I'm gonna just try

and keep my eyes open for the road here.

I hope that this is it.

I'm sure we are close.

Oh, look, look, look.

- See it? - There's our vehicle.

We're here.

Looks like we've made it.

- Oh, there's our vehicle. - Hey, come on! Yes!

Day 21.

It's time to go home now. Come on!

Oh, my god.

- Yes! - Finished!

The wild Scottish man came to Africa, succeeded,

beaten the weather, beaten all the elements,

I cannot put this into words.

This is the best feeling,

the hardest but most rewarding

and the most enjoyable experience

- in my whole life. - Oh, yeah.

Finishing day 21 it's this relief that I've got now.

It's a whole new sensation of pride,

self-respect, and understanding

of my abilities and my achievements.

And if I could do that, there's a lot more I can do.

We've done it.

- Yes! - [Makes sound]

Me and Jamie have a partnership.

And it's a unique bond.

We learned a lot from each other.

Even though he's in Scotland, and I'm in America,

it goes to show we're all people.

And survival does not mean anything

based on where you're coming from.

Survival, it's about being human.

[Narrator] Over the course of 21 days,

Jamie lost a total of 24 lbs.

His PSR rises from 7.1 to 8.1.

This is what it's all about.

I'm finished!

[Jamie] Yes!

[Narrator] Jessica lost a total of 32 lbs

completing the full 21 days.

Increases her PSR from 7.3 to 8.0.

Never give up.

Come on! Yes!

Starting off those two international survivalists

and two Americans survivalist.

But at the end of the day, me and Jessica

made it to the end and that shows that

humans come together in any circumstance

to overcome any situation.

And that's exactly what we've done.

We did it, partner.

Yes.

I'm finished!

- Yeah! - [Jamie] Yes!
