Original subtitles

[Scott] Oh, you son of a bitch!

I got a turtle!

[Scott laughs]

There you are!

Do you know how to cook terrapin?

Nope! But I think I know a way to humanely kill him.

- [Scott] Please. - [Kayla] We take our finger

- and put it in his rectum. - [Scott] Okay.

His head will poke out and then we can chop

- his head off. - [Scott] Chop his head off?

Am I sticking my finger in his butt?

Or you wanna stick your finger in his butt?

[Kayla] I think I should probably stick

my finger in his butt so you can chop his head off.

- So, this is a tag-team action? - [Kayla] Yeah.

[Music playing]

[Man1] There is nothing easy about this.

[Man2] We got hail.

[Rhino growling]

[Animal groaning]

Whew, my heart is racing.

[Woman 1] If you don't fight, you won't make it.

It's so hard!

[Scott] I ain't done yet. No way.

Got on naked and afraid!

[Cheering]

I'm so excited to be part of the fan talent.

I think we've seen just about every single episode.

My partner better not let me die.

[Laughing]

This is insane. I cannot believe it!

I made it on naked and afraid!

Yeah!

I did that!

[Scott] That guy is badass [indistinct]

They were bombarding this episode where he wavers really off team.

The fan challenge is my favorite.

All these people are nuts

and I guess I'm just as crazy as they are.

It can't be any harder than this, right?

[Child laughs]

- [Kayla] Say hi! - Hey!

You've heard of octo-mom, I'm "nueve-mom."

I have nine kids.

Six of my own and three adopted children.

And then I worked as an optician for 13 years.

If I can survive nine kids,

I can survive naked and afraid.

I consider myself an aspiring survivalist.

One of my strongest skills is starting a fire.

At that time I'm gonna sanitize my water.

Cook the food that we catch. It's going to keep us warm.

Fire!

I'm always looking for new challenging opportunities

and I think this one is the biggest of them all.

[Scott] So, I'm gonna go ahead

and toughen the feet up a little bit.

The wild, that's where I [beep] belong.

I wanna roar like a lion.

I wanna get out there and take what's mine.

I'm a hardwood-floor technician.

My job title has the word "hard" in it.

I've run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

On the rugby pitch, I'm a monster.

You come at me, I'm coming at you.

[Men hollering]

When it comes to survival, I've never truly been tested,

so that's a mystery for me.

Why not push myself as far as I can?

I'm leaving for Africa today!

Are you gonna miss me?

- No? - Yes!

Africa, here I come! See you, butt naked!

[Music playing]

Holy crap, look at that! That's a rhino! That horn...

I don't want a rhino enema, let me tell you that.

[Scott laughs]

[Narrator] South Africa's badlands.

Named after its many dangerous predators

and its oppressive heat.

[Kayla] I think my biggest fear out here

is definitely the sun.

I'm very fair-complected, so I'm very scared

that I'm going to burn.

They could take me out for a couple of days

before I recover, so I'm hoping that I can find

some protection out here.

[Narrator] The only relief from the heat

in these feral grasslands is a labyrinth of waterholes,

attracting both predators and prey.

Herds of local elephants rely on these pools

and drink up to 40 gallons of water a day.

Packs of hyenas competing with prides of lions,

whose roar can be heard from five miles away,

also hunt these shores,

but the badlands' biggest threat

are the extremely aggressive black rhino.

At almost 3,000 pounds,

and armed with two penetrating horns,

they will charge at incoming threats,

reaching speeds of 35 miles per hour.

[Kayla] I'm really excited. I'm also nervous.

I'm kinda questioning what was I thinking.

[Laughs]

[Narrator] Juggling nine kids and a career,

Kayla thrives in high-pressure situations,

but she'll need to muster

all of her mental and physical resources

to survive south Africa's badlands.

This fan begins with a PSR,

or primitive survival rating, of 4.5.

[Scott] The toughest thing for this challenge

is gonna be me. As a kid, growing up,

I doubted myself and it took me a long time

to overcome that doubt.

Completing this challenge

will give me so much confidence,

knowing, "hey, I did this.

What else can I do?"

[Narrator] A born competitor, Scott is determined

to show he can succeed on any plainfield,

but his lack of true survival skills

could be his downfall.

He starts his challenge with a PSR of 4.4.

All right, I guess this is it.

Ready, south Africa? Here I come!

Being naked is pretty freeing.

I wish I could just be naked all the time really,

and it would be okay with everyone.

All right, let's do this.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I have never been naked with a stranger,

so I feel nervous.

Here we go!

Oh, boy, I'm in this now.

[Kayla] It's extremely hot out here.

I can already feel the sun already burning my skin

and the rocks are extremely hot.

- [Scott] Ah, hey! - [Kayla] Hey!

- [Scott] How are you doing? - I'm good! How are you doing?

[Scott] I'm doing pretty well.

- [Kayla] I'm Kayla. - Kayla, Scott.

- Very nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

All right.

Well, we're in it now, hey?

We're in Africa!

- So surreal to be here. - It is. It is, isn't it?

Can you tell me a little bit about your survival skills?

'Cause I'm going to be upfront with you.

I've got basically none. I can fish, definitely.

[Kayla] Scott seems really nice.

I'm glad he told me upfront

that he didn't have any skills,

but that concerns me a little bit,

so I'm curious to see how that's going to unfold.

My biggest skill is fire making.

-Oh, thank god. Thank god. -[Kayla] Yeah.

I think fire's going to be our big protector out here.

Okay. I'm going to follow your lead on this.

Yeah, awesome. I think we got some bags behind you.

[Scott] All right.

- [Kayla] Let's see what we've got. - Let's go.

[Narrator] To help protect them from the threat of large predators,

the team has been given a kukri knife

and a fire starter.

- You're in charge of the fire. - Awesome.

[Narrator] Scott has brought a fishing line and hook.

And Kayla, a pot.

[Kayla] So we can get some fresh water.

[Scott] Thank goodness!

Looks like we've got ourselves a nice little map here, finally.

That's so neat!

You see it on the show, it's so surreal.

- This is great. - [Scott] Looks like

we're right here on the map.

It'd be great if we went down here.

Just get around the water.

Looks like we've got some rhinos here.

[Kayla] They're extremely dangerous.

[Scott] Well, we'll just keep our distance then.

Let's do this.

- [Kayla] Let's do it. - All right.

[Music playing]

[Scott] Loose rocks, be careful.

[Kayla] The rocks feel like glass.

[Kayla groans]

- This is terrible. Okay. - [Scott] Are you all right?

[Kayla] Yeah, I just need a minute.

[Scott] Need a minute? All right.

[Kayla] Sore feet.

My first impression of Kayla is that she's got

some pretty good survival knowledge,

but one thing I'm worried about

is her ability to really brave the environment.

Let's keep walking.

[Scott] You wanna keep walking?

- Yeah. - [Scott] You got it.

[Kayla] We'll just take a break when needed.

[Music playing]

[Scott] Look at that.

[Kayla] Oh, it looks like a lion.

[Scott] Oh, boy.

One right there. One down there.

Yeah, let's get to that water source,

and then we can start making our boma.

Wow, look at that!

- [Kayla] Finally! - [Scott] Yeah!

I thought I was gonna have to cut my feet off back there.

No, please don't cut your feet off!

- I need you walking. - This is great. We made it.

[Scott] We made it.

So, that means the next step is, what?

You wanna search out some boma territory?

[Kayla] Yeah, shelter and fire.

All right. So, I don't feel comfortable

being close to the water at all with the boma.

[Kayla] Especially with all the animals.

- 'Cause they drink out here. - Yeah.

Ugh, these rocks are a killer to walk on.

[Scott] Yeah?

You mind if I go ahead and just scout this area?

[Kayla] Yeah, go scout. I'm gonna look around.

You'll have a clear eye on me, all right?

- [Kayla] Yeah, let's do that. - Okey-doke.

It's a real big mudhole.

That's rhino territory, right there. Look at that.

Oh, man.

I wanna stay away from...

Up and away from the water, it looks like.

I think my feet need a rest.

I'd like to go ahead and get started,

but I know my partner wanted to scout that area over there.

I don't think it's worth spending

hours researching where to go

because we still need to make a fire,

I wanna boil some water. I'm thirsty.

- Hey, Scott! - [Scott] Yo!

You coming back?

[Scott] Give me your opinion about right over here.

There is a lot of thick brush.

I'm thinking back here because I don't see any tracks.

[Scott] I mean, that ain't comfy up on the rocks.

[Kayla] Where would you feel comfortable going?

It's just, like, right at the end

of that trail to the left there.

Let's go look at it.

You want a piggyback ride?

- Okay. - [Scott] Do you?

- Yeah. - [Scott] Okay.

- If you're willing. - I'm willing. Come on, hop on.

- Come on. - Thank you.

[Scott groans]

- You got me? - I got you. Let's go.

- Teamwork makes -the dream work. - [Scott] I got you.

Thanks for carrying me.

[Scott] No problem.

This tree right here.

[Kayla] Okay. Let me down here.

- [Scott] Are you good? - [Kayla] Yeah.

[Scott] Okay. So, here.

We've got overhanging branches.

If we do come up against a black rhino,

we got these guys that are gonna protect us.

All right, let's... We'll stay here.

- You sure? - Yeah.

Start building and I'll start fire-making.

[Scott] Yes, ma'am.

[Music playing]

[Kayla] I don't think we have much daylight left,

so I hope I can get this fire started soon.

[Scott pants]

[Scott] I'm working myself too hard.

[Kayla] Yeah. Rest when you need to rest.

[Scott] Yeah. Yeah.

[Kayla] What the [beep]?

I knew this would happen. I would get out here

and I wouldn't be able to make a fire.

[Scott] Kayla seems to be struggling

to get the fire going.

I am panicking a little bit.

The fire can be a difference

between life and death out here.

I can't get it to stay lit.

[Announcer] They've survived extreme environments.

[Announcer] They've survived extreme wildlife.

(Elephant trumpets)

Come on! Yes!

(Sobbing)

[Announcer] But can they survive... (Bleep)

- (Exhales) - Mmm.

Extreme dating?

(Laughs loudly)

No.

♪ Everything you want we got it ♪

[Announcer] Some get down.

[Man] I haven't seen this much action in years.

- Goodnight. - (Giggling)

He had a (bleep).

I'm cute, what can you do?

[Announcer] Others break down.

There's just certain things I just don't

want to deal with right now.

There is zero percent sexual attraction.

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

[Announcer] This is dating... he's so beautiful.

- Gone... - Eyes up here, bud.

Wild.

(Screaming)

I'm sorry, mom.

[Announcer] "Naked and afraid of love"...

Streaming now on discovery+.

[Scraping]

[Kayla groans]

[Kayla] Never fails.

Someone talks about how confident they are

with their fire-starting skills

and then you can't start a fire.

We have fire.

[Laughs]

Such a big relief.

I thought I was gonna sit here for another six hours

and not have a fire.

Hey, Scott!

[Scott] Yo!

[Kayla] We have fire!

[Scott cheers]

You're my hero right now.

[Kayla] You're mine, too, so...

- All right. - We got this.

[Scott] Kayla just made a dang fire.

And to tell you the truth

I doubted her for a little bit,

just watching her, but she got two things under,

fire and water.

[Scott pants]

[Scott huffs]

I gotta slow myself down.

I'm being a dumbass about this.

[Kayla] Positive thoughts, Scott. You're not a dumbass.

Here I am, lagging behind,

and I'm just trying to get this boma made.

It's a lot harder than it looks

on the television episodes.

I'm trying to stay calm, but in my head,

right up here, it's my worst enemy right now.

I'm not gonna be happy with myself

until this boma is done.

I gotta get myself in a better mindset.

Scott, my man, get it together, bro.

[Music playing]

[Kayla] It's a really great shelter.

He did a really good job with this.

All right, Kayla, I'm gonna move

the fire towards the entrance. It'll be deterrent.

[Kayla] Okay.

[Scott] What else do we need to do

for the boma tonight before the sun goes down?

- [Kayla] I think we're good. - [Scott] You think we're good?

- [Kayla] Yeah. - [Scott] Okay.

[Kayla] I'm a little nervous

to go through my first night in this challenge.

I don't know what to expect, but we have fire.

We've got water.

We have shelter, thanks to my partner.

You know, we've made it farther

than some survivalists, so keep it coming.

[Frogs croaking]

[Scott sighs]

[Scott] All right, I gotta feed the fire, okay?

[Kayla] Yeah. Scott's gonna feed the fire,

so I'm gonna be his lookout.

It's our lifeline, so we need it to protect us

from anything lurking out there.

[Scott] And we gotta use nature as a warning sign.

So, those are bullfrogs.

If that stops, that's when you know

there's something around because they stop

- when something comes by. - [Kayla] Yeah.

[Frogs croaking]

[Frogs stop croaking]

[Scott] Okay, listen.

You notice how the bullfrogs stopped?

[Kayla] Uh-huh.

[Scott] I'm gonna go ahead and just get a view

of what we're dealing with out here.

[Kayla] Okay.

[Scott] Oh, my god.

- I can't see anything. - [Scott] No, you can't.

It's pitch black outside.

[Frogs croaking]

[Scott] But they started up again, see?

Started up again, so it's all right.

Last night was forever.

Dragged on.

Bullfrogs messed with me.

[Kayla] First night was a little bit harder

than I thought it would be.

Nothing can really prepare you for actually being out here.

[Scott] I'm just trying to create a better barrier.

Last night, one of the things I was worried about

was this side of the boma, it's really exposed,

open water, grassland.

If I can give us a little more protection

from the predators, that actually gives me

some peace of mind and maybe I'll be able to rest

instead of moving at every sound I hear.

[Kayla] That's a good one.

[Scott] Having fun?

- [Kayla] No. - [Scott] No?

[Kayla] I'm not feeling too great.

It's hot as hell.

[Scott] You think you can chug some water?

[Kayla] Yeah.

Thank you.

[Scott] Chug it.

- You gonna be okay? - Uh-huh.

[Scott] Okay.

[Kayla] I'm trying to stay hydrated,

but the water tastes like lake water

and I'm gagging quite a bit.

[Kayla gags]

Kayla, you all right?

[Kayla] Yeah, just a little nauseous.

[Scott] Okay.

[Kayla] Keep doing what you were doing.

I'm good. Just gonna vomit a little.

[Kayla gags]

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Speaking]

[Scott] Watch your head.

You want me to come with you?

[Speaking]

[Kayla gags]

[Kayla gags]

[Speaking]

[Speaking]

[Speaking]

[Speaking]

[Percussive music playing]

[Scott] Day three, here we go.

This is a lot tougher than I ever thought it was.

Kayla is gagging a lot, that sucks energy out of you.

The last thing I wanna do

is have my partner have to tap out

because she's dehydrated.

I think my job today is to make sure

she keeps drinking water.

Get some food if I can.

Whatever I can do to help out, I will.

[Scott] C'mon, take the damn thing.

Oh, you son of a bitch!

I got a turtle!

[Scott laughs]

Oh, my gosh! This is insane.

Kayla, you know how to cook terrapin?

[Kayla] Nope! That's great.

[Scott] I feel bad for him,

but also at the same time, we're lucky as heck.

I think I know a way to humanely kill him.

[Scott] Please, yeah.

I've watched a couple of videos on this.

- [Scott] All right. - So if we take our finger

- and put it in his rectum. - [Scott] Okay.

[Kayla] His head will poke out and then we can chop

- his head off. - [Scott] Chop his head off?

So now we're gonna poke at him...

[Scott] Am I sticking my finger in his butt?

Or you wanna stick your finger in his butt?

[Kayla] I think I should probably stick

my finger in his butt, so you can chop his head off.

So, this is a tag-team action?

- [Kayla] Yeah. - [Scott] All right. Super.

All right, thank you.

I appreciate your sacrifice.

[Scott puffs]

Okay, let's go.

It's all right.

[Kayla] Oh, this is terrible.

[Scott] This is not humane at all.

[Kayla] No. Let me...

[Scott] You know what?

Sorry.

Kayla, I think I'm gonna need your help here.

Okay, what do you want me to do?

I need...

Pull... pull this tight. Pull it tight. Okay?

Keep it tight, please.

- Okay. - Kayla,

it's all right. It's all right. It's okay.

It's okay.

All right, it's almost over, okay?

[Scott] It's almost over, okay?

[Kayla whimpers]

[Kayla] Oh, that's terrible.

[Kayla sniffs]

[Kayla huffs]

Turtles are such sweet creatures.

They don't hurt anybody.

[Scott sighs]

I did not think I’d be feeling this way.

I'm pretty sensitive with animals.

Oh, man! I can't believe I’m...

Wow.

This is survival and I have to look at it

through a different lens.

I need to eat it

to keep going forward with this challenge.

Other than fish,

it's the first thing I've ever killed.

[Kayla] It's just sad because they're so cute.

[Scott] They are cute.

[Kayla] My daughter has, like, three turtles,

so I'm starting to feel really bad.

But we gotta do what we have to do.

I just needed a good cry.

[Scott] It's all right.

Have a good cry and let it out, and then, move on.

Yeah.

[Suspenseful music playing]

All right, let's eat this before the flies do.

Yeah.

I thought I was gonna have a problem

with eating this, but...

Not at all.

No?

I mean, it's okay.

[Scott] You don't gotta eat it.

[Kayla gags]

[Kayla] I think I already have it in my head

that it's a turtle, so yeah.

[Scott] It's all right.

[Music playing]

[Scott] Here you go. Drink up.

[Kayla whimpers]

[Kayla gags]

[Kayla gags]

[Kayla gags]

[Kayla gags]

[Scott] I'm getting worried about Kayla.

She doesn't seem too keen

on drinking a lot of water right now

because of the nausea she's feeling.

[Kayla spits]

- You all right? - [Kayla] Yeah.

And it seems she's headed down

the wrong path right now.

[Speaking]

[Suspenseful music playing]

All right, I think we've got extra shade, Kayla.

What's up?

[Kayla] Just feeling a little down.

[Scott] What's going on? Tell me.

[Kayla] I just don't wanna be here anymore.

[Scott] You don't? Why?

[Kayla] I'm tired.

The nausea is really getting to me.

Yeah?

Have you pretty much made up your mind?

I don't know yet.

[Scott] Okay. Well, let's talk,

because I want you to stay.

Yeah. I think mentally I can do it,

I just, physically, my whole body hurts,

the thought of sitting on this ground

one more night...

- I know nights are tough. - [Kayla] Yeah.

I really do. They are. They are tough as heck.

[Kayla] The nights are the toughest.

And that's all I can think about.

I like having you here, I can tell you that.

And I'd feel like I’m sort of failing, too,

if you leave, to tell you the truth.

No, you're doing great.

[Scott] No, I know, but I mean, this whole...

I just think I could've mentally...

Well, mentally and physically

prepared myself for South Africa.

It's hot. It's so humid. It's hard to breathe.

[Scott] It's okay.

You're supposed to have these emotions.

Look at this, you get to do this.

- [Kayla] Yeah. - This is an opportunity

no one ever gets to do. I think you can stick it out.

You are a mentally strong person.

- Yeah. - [Scott] And you don't want

- to mentally break now. - [Kayla] Yeah.

All right, well, let's see what tonight holds

and hopefully tomorrow we'll be back in.

[Scott] You're strong. You got this. All right?

- All right. - [Kayla] Okay.

Thanks, Scott!

[Scott] If my partner leaves, I'm screwed.

I have fire because of her and I don't know

if I can maintain it by myself.

I need her just as much as she needs me.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Kayla gags]

[Scott] Hey, it's okay.

[Kayla whimpers]

You're okay.

[Kayla] Oh, god.

[Kayla gags]

[Kayla spits]

[Scott] I'm sorry, I wish I had let you tap out.

[Kayla gags]

[Kayla gags]

[Kayla] Yeah, I can't do this anymore.

[Scott] Yeah, I wouldn't be able to either.

[Suspenseful music playing]

Yeah, last night was rough.

Yeah, it was.

If you're sitting there watching,

don't think that you can do this,

it's harder than it looks.

[Scott] It really is, actually.

It really is.

[Scott] I gotta tell you,

I wouldn't have made it past day one

if it wasn't for you. Like, really.

Two heads really are better than one.

- [Kayla] Thank you, Scott. - All right?

- [Kayla] I appreciate it. - All right.

- [Kayla] Best of luck to you. - Best of luck to you, too.

- [Kat] What's going on, Kayla? - [Kayla] I'm ready to go.

[Kat] You're tapping out?

[Scott] All right, Kayla.

- [Kayla] Goodbye, Scott. - Bye.

[Kayla] Best of luck to you.

Thank you very much. I appreciate everything.

[Kayla] You got this.

[Kayla sniffs]

Thank you.

I was lucky I got a really good partner.

I feel a little bad leaving Scott,

but I feel a lot better because I know

he's got the skills to make it on his own

and I wasn't providing much.

I don't have any regrets leaving.

I gave it my all and I’m proud of myself for trying.

[Narrator] The harsh conditions and excessive vomiting

forced Kayla from the challenge.

Five pounds lighter, her early exit

drops her PSR from 4.5 to 3.1.

[Kayla] Goodbye, South Africa.

I gotta admit it's nice being able to, uh,

have all the water to myself

and not monitor how much I drink.

I don't have to worry about Kayla now, I guess.

Not that I had a problem doing that, I really didn't,

but now I'm gonna go ahead and just focus on me.

Oh, no. This is getting hard.

I'm a little nervous.

I'm gonna have ten days on my own.

It's extremely crucial

that I stay on top of every aspect of survival,

especially maintaining the boma,

keeping the fire going.

Why is this being a problem right now?

I need that protection from the predators,

especially when it's just yourself.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Scott] Tonight is my first night

spending it alone in South Africa.

I got a fire going, my boma is pretty built up.

I'm a little nervous, but I can handle this.

[Music playing]

So, we got something rustling around the bushes over here.

Don't go after my boma now.

C'mon. What is it?

Something's out there right now.

It's pretty big and pretty close.

I don't know what it is.

I gotta keep my ears peeled

if I gotta jump up in the stream... [animal growling]

Just woke up. Day five.

Last night I didn't really get much sleep.

I heard a bunch of movement in the bush around my boma.

Black rhino right here.

One, two, three.

Yeah, you can smell the urine, too.

It was right here, right by my boma.

They smell me, they definitely do.

They know I'm here

or else they would not be doing this.

That scares me.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Scott] I'm almost through my first pile of wood

and I don't even know

if I'm halfway through the night yet.

I wish I could just sleep through the night,

I'm so tired. I know I can't.

I just wake up because I gotta tend to the fire.

If it goes out, predators come.

Just another rough night in the boma.

[Music playing]

[Scott] I really like that rock right there.

Slept like crap last night.

Tossing and turning and keeping the fire going.

I know I gotta keep the predators away,

but man, this lack of sleep,

and constantly maintaining the fire,

I just gotta figure out a better way.

I've seen people in challenges

where they make something inside their boma

to contain any fire, sort of like an oven,

and it will protect my fire, it will keep the embers going.

Mainly because if it goes out

and I have trouble starting it again, I'm done for.

I have a rock base, and I'm building up off that base,

sealing everything in, so that any kind of moisture

isn't allowed to get into this,

so I can store my coals in here.

I'm proud of my little flintstone hut.

[Music playing]

[Scott] This environment is pretty harsh.

Like, extremely harder than I thought it would be.

This should not be so hard.

I've never been this weak in my life.

I haven't eaten for three days.

It's very crucial that I get as much protein

as I possibly can right now.

Really?

Oh, you guys are asking for it today.

Oh, wow.

It's a swallow.

It looks like it landed a little too hard.

[Bird chirping]

It's pretty cool.

Not every day you get to do this.

I'm not gonna kill this thing.

It's too small, there's no point.

I'm getting it somewhere where it can dry off.

We'll get you in the sun.

[Music playing]

I don't wanna kill any more animals other than fish.

I still feel guilty about killing the turtle

and I know I can get through this challenge

without having that weight on my conscience.

All right, well...

He can fly.

Have a nice life.

[Music playing]

[Scott] Let's see here.

Today is the first day

I really actually started to feel

depleted in my energy.

I gotta get some fish, get some food in me.

Oh...

What do I got here?

Here we go. Dammit. Another turtle?

Looks like it's hooked on you.

Oh, you [bleep] swallowed it. He swallowed it.

There's no way I'm getting that out.

I gotta kill it.

I'm sorry.

[Music playing]

[Scott] Feels bad killing this second turtle.

I don't like it,

but I just something you gotta get used to,

in the end.

I have to remind myself that this is survival.

This is food.

[Music playing]

[Scott] I just feel zapped today.

I'm hoping that I can find a backup food source.

I need that energy for the extraction.

Wow, look at that.

I think these are kudu berries.

Once they turn brown,

I can boil them and they're edible.

I'm just actually pretty happy that I found these.

Oh, boy. The wind is picking up.

I can feel the weather changing a little bit.

There's definitely some thunder on the horizon.

Yeah, here comes some rain.

Oh, man.

I'm gonna head back and get prepared for the storm.

[Thunder rumbling]

All right.

That should be enough to ride through the storm.

I need to keep this fire going.

If it goes out, and I have trouble starting it again,

I'm not going to be able to survive.

I'm done for.

[Thunder rumbling]

It just came in hard and fast. I was not expecting this.

It was a nice day out today. I was supposed to rest.

I'm keeping this fire with everything I got.

So far my covered fire pit is really doing the job for me.

[Scott] Look at that!

It's all draining right towards my fire.

This is exactly what I was afraid of.

Getting my firewood wet, but I ain't done yet.

No way.

Oh, my gosh. Look at this! It's up to my ankles.

If it keeps up,

I'm gonna be sitting in a swimming pool all night.

I don't wanna go out this way.

[Thunder rumbling]

[Music playing]

[Speaking]

[Incoherent talking]

[Kayla] Why don't you just pee into the brushes?

[Scott] Because this is not pee.

[Kayla] Oh... [speaking]

[Speaking]

[Kayla] Oh, no.

Do you wanna take a diarrhea can with you?

[Scott] Diarrhea can ain't gonna do any good.

[Kayla laughs]

[Kayla] You got this.

[Lion roaring]

[Scott] Oh, man.

[Scott farts]

[Scott] Oh, my gosh! Look at this!

See how much buildup there is?

It's up to my ankles.

It's all draining right towards my fire.

Looks like I'm getting a blockage over here.

I gotta go back around and loosen it up

on the other side.

This is all runoff coming from outside of my boma.

I can't afford that getting any higher.

C'mon, Scott.

There we go.

That should be enough.

Yes!

You can already see the water level lowering here.

I think I'm gonna be okay.

I'm actually really proud of myself right now.

This is what I thought was gonna tap me out.

I've seen shows where their fire just gets drowned,

but I kept the fire going.

I made it through.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Scott] I've never had kudu berry.

This will be interesting.

Plans for the last full day here

are to get ready for extraction

and to get some nutrition in me.

It tastes like dirt, like chewing on bark.

I'm just gonna go at it, I'm gonna eat 'em,

get energy, whatever I can get from them

because I need that energy for the extraction.

And this right here, me eating these,

is proof that I'm gonna make it to the end.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Scott] It's a beautiful place.

It really is nature untouched.

I'm learning a lot about myself out here.

I'm really happy that this experience

has changed me a little bit.

I ended up using more of my empathy

and patience throughout this,

and that's something that really surprised me.

I'm leaving humble and I know

I'm gonna be a better person after this.

[Music playing]

[Lion roaring]

[Scott] Wow.

All right. Last day.

I'll take a gander at the map.

All right, so, I’m following the river.

Definitely heard the lions this morning

down at the path I'm gonna be taking.

I'm a little worried about it.

I'm naked. I'm by myself.

I'm vulnerable to every kind of aspect

of the bush right now.

Just gotta present myself as that apex predator

and just a vigilant eye out.

[Narrator] To complete his challenge,

Scott will have to hike a mile upstream

over rocky terrain

where lions patrol the shores for easy prey.

From there, he must trek north through dense brush,

home to the highly aggressive black rhino.

After a grueling four-mile hike,

Scott will need to locate

a cropping of large boulders, where he will be extracted.

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Scott] I definitely need

to keep an eye out for any lion.

This is around the area where I thought I heard them.

I really don't wanna run into any predators,

especially on extraction day.

[Music playing]

Looks like we're getting into tall grass here.

I definitely need to keep an eye out

for any kind of snake.

C'mon, Scott, almost there.

[Music playing]

Woah, look at this.

This looks like a rhino. It's really fresh.

I haven't seen any scat this fresh

since I've been here.

Which way did he...

Maybe he is heading the way I'm heading.

I gotta be able to keep my head on a swivel.

They'll charge without warning,

so eyes peeled, ears to the ground.

[Music playing]

It's starting to get pretty dense in the bush.

I can only see probably 20 yards around me

at all times and that's if I'm lucky.

If anything, I gotta listen

for any kind of movement in the bush right now.

It's all a lot of down trees.

I might be in elephant territory right now.

They knock them down and eat the leaves.

[Scott exhales]

Oh, my gosh. A heard of elephants.

This I never thought I'd be able to see.

It's beautiful.

I'm just sort of at a loss of words, really.

I don't know how to describe this,

to see them in their natural habitat...

This is worth the 14 days.

[Music playing]

Oh, I'm so damn tired.

I'm seeing quite a lot of big boulders right now.

Is this the big boulder?

This one right here?

Am I done?

Yes, there it is. Dude, it's my ride. I made it.

I'm done.

I freaking did it! Yeah!

All right.

Oh, man.

I made it. See ya later, Bushville.

[Scott cheering]

Being a fan and coming in this challenge,

I had no experience, but I adapted,

I learned a lot about myself,

and now my confidence has been boosted.

I'm not saying I'm a new person,

I'm just a better person because of it.

And I'm in awe of myself a little bit

that I made it, that I did this.

[Narrator] After 14 days

in the untamed expanse of South Africa's badlands,

ten of them with only himself to rely on,

Scott completes the challenge,

losing a total of 27 pounds,

his primitive survival rating jumps from 4.4 to 5.8,

transforming Scott from untested superfan

to proven survivalist.

[Scott] Thank you, South Africa.

Farewell!

I'm out!
