Fire!

My name is warrick.

I'm from east london, south africa.

I guess I've been preparing to do this challenge since I was a teenager,

When I first started hunting and going for camps in the bush.

I'm definitely gonna be the first south african to complete the show.

My brother, shaun,

Recently did this challenge also in zambia.

He had a great experience in the bush,

But unfortunately, he didn't make it.

Shaun?

Medic! Medic! I need you here now.

- Mr. Shaun? - Shaun fell and hit his head on a rock.

Shaun? Shaun?

Open your eyes for me, mate.

He got medically removed.

He did sound a bit disappointed in himself

And it kinda made me feel a bit awful.

I'm feeling a lot better now,

And I've been trying to give warrick all the advice that I can.

I know warrick can do this.

I'm proud of you, my brother.

My brother means everything to me.

I've got warrick's name on my shoulder,

- And he's got my name on his shoulder. - Yeah.

The only thing I'm worried about

Is that my brother's got a bigger one than I do.

Warrick!

I'm definitely gon try my best to finish this for my brother, shaun,

And for myself.

I'm ready.

The nerves are kinda setting in now.

I've never been to this country

And it's totally different.

I know it's gonna be super hard and tough,

But if you want something really bad,

And if you put your mind to it, you can do it.

Just seeing these hippos is pretty intimidating.

Luckily, they are a bit far away,

But I can imagine when they're very close,

It's super scary.

Oh, my gosh.

Wow.

My first hippo sighting.

One of the most dangerous animals in the zambezi river.

And he just went under.

Hopefully, he's not coming for my boat.

My name is kat. I am 40 years old and from louisiana.

I am definitely not a barefoot,

Pregnant in the kitchen kind of woman.

I kind of like a little bit of danger and challenge in my life.

The toughest to date that I've done is doing the mongol derby,

A 1,000-kilometer horse rac across the steppe of mongoli

To have that to draw on

Definitely will be a big boo in my confidence and morale

When things get tough.

Pedicure day!

I live on a little farm with my fiance and my son.

I have 20 dogs, 20 cats.

Don't judge me.

I have chickens and five horses.

I'm fully expecting this challenge to be

One of the hardest things I've done in my life.

If I didn't think it was gonna be hard, I wouldn't be here.

The zambezi river is a pretty lethal river.

There's a lot of dangers her

Just gotta be super careful out here.

I've got a fiancee at home,

And we've just had a newborn baby.

I'm gonna miss her so much, little babette.

When I get back, you're gonna have grown so much.

Some people may think I'm a little bit bad

For leaving my fiancee at home alone with the baby

But she was one of my biggest encouragers.

We are super confident that warrick's gonna ace this challenge.

My family means everything to me,

And I definitely want to make them proud.

I would say I'm feeling pretty nervous,

But excited at the same time.

Naked and afraid, here I co!

It looks like we're getting close.

My biggest concern is swimming in the water.

Hopefully, a crocodile doesn't come up

And pull me down and drown m

I'm not so concerned about shallow areas,

But hippos can hold their breath for up to five minutes,

So you have no idea that they're there.

Same with crocodiles. They can hold their breath for even longer.

I'm just gonna have to push through my fear.

Well, it looks like I'm on an island.

I've never really been nake in front of people before.

This could probably be a little awkward at first.

I'll just try not to look down.

Zambia, I hope you're ready for me.

Man, this place is beautiful!

It's gonna be my home for the next 21 days.

It's been a couple years since me and my fiancee met

So I haven't seen any other naked women since then.

So, it's gonna be a little bit weird for me.

Off to meet my partner!

I'm feeling pretty cool.

Feels quite free being naked, actually.

It kinda feels like...

We're on a deserted islan

This looks like fresh elephant dung.

Definitely gonna have to be careful.

This is probably an elephant highway.

-Hi! -Hello! Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. I'm kat. - I'm warrick.

So excited!

- I think we're a bit underdressed! - Yeah, yeah.

Um, and where are you from?

I'm from louisiana, which is very swampy.

- Okay. - It's a lot different than this. It's really wet.

Uh, I've heard about louisiana.

Is that where all the cottonmouth snakes are?

- Yes! - Okay.

- A lot of things that bite down there. - Yeah, yeah.

- And you? - I'm from south africa.

Wow! You might have a little, hopefully, knowledge

- Of this area. - A little bit, I guess. Yeah.

You have a lot of skill?

Um, yeah, with hunting and stuff, I guess.

Wow, yes!

Yeah. I'm a bow maker, so I make longbows.

That's exciting.

My partner's from south africa.

He brings a good vibe.

And what would you say your skills are?

- I'm good at shelter making. - Okay.

- I'm decent with fires. I can make some traps. - Okay.

Ever done anything like this before?

This will be a first for me.

Okay. That's awesome, man.

- And you? - This is my first time doing the challenge,

Um, but my brother has done it before,

- So I'm doing it now after him. - Wow!

- He got medically tapped, so... - Oh, no!

But me coming here is also

Trying to get that, um...

Make everyone proud back home.

- I gotcha. - Yeah, yeah.

Oh, man. That's the worst way to go.

- Yeah, on day three. - Wow, what happened?

His blood sugar was a bit low and he fell over,

And then he hit the back of his head on a rock.

Well, let's make sure that doesn't happen.

- We're gonna eat good so we're not gonna pass out. - Yep. Yeah, yeah.

I was kinda surprised to find out that his brother medically tapped out.

Hopefully, he's gained a little bit of knowledge,

Uh, that he can help us out with this challenge.

Well, are you ready to see what we have?

- Yeah, let's go have a look. - Okay.

So, I brought a machete.

Here's what I got.

Awesome!

- Did you make this bow? - Yes.

- Really? - Yeah.

I've been making bows since I was three years old.

I've been doing it as a full-time job for eight years.

We're gonna eat really well.

I see we've got some extras.

To ensure they'r safe from predators,

The team has been given a fire starter.

They also receive a pot to boil water.

Okay, so I've got the map.

Looks like there's a... Quite a few islands.

We're gonna do a bit of island-hopping.

We're gonna have to swim through the zambezi a bit, yeah?

Maybe try to get to this island.

- That might be our best bet right now. - Yeah.

I am a little concerned about the river crossings.

Worried about the crocs,

- Especially in the deeper areas. - Yeah.

So, maybe we need to go ahead and get started while we still have some daylight.

Let's go for it.

Based on their skills and experience,

Warrick enters the challeng with a primitive survival rating, or psr, of 6.7.

Kat begins with a 6.4.

They have been dropped off on a series of islands

In the middle of the zambezi river,

One of africa's longest and most lethal waterways.

In these waters,

Aggressive hippos fight for territory.

Lurking beneath is the nile crocodile,

An ambush predator capable of lying in wait for its pre for up to two hours.

When ready to strike,

It uses its powerful tail to propel itself out of the water.

From the island where they have been dropped off,

Warrick and kat will head north

To another island with more resources,

But the journey will requir two river crossings with strong currents.

I think we need to just be careful when we move and watch for snakes.

- Yeah. - They have a lot of really poisonous ones.

Some of nature's most venomous snakes inhabit these islands,

Like the green mamba,

Whose bite can cause paralys and even death within minute

Along with the snakes,

An aggressive herd of territorial elephants cla these islands as their home

Weighing up to six tons,

These mammoth beasts consume up to 330 pounds of food each day,

Uprooting trees and destroying anything that gets in their way.

There's quite a lot of elephant around.

- There's all this dung here. - Yeah.

These elephant highways make it a little better traveling.

Definitely, eh?

Otherwise, we'd have to be going through thick stuff like that.

Thank you, elephants.

Just don't charge us.

I feel kinda relieved about my partner.

She seems like she's an outdoors person.

I think, too, we're gonna get along.

Wonder if there are any warthogs here.

I don't know if there'll be warthogs here

'cause it's kinda like an island.

I haven't seen any antelope or anything that I normally hunt,

So I was expecting to be on the mainland.

- I see... See some feathers there. - Yes.

That looks like a guinea fowl.

We'll definitely be having to go for birds and guinea fowl,

Which is quite difficult,

So maybe... - they're pretty good eating.

Yes, they're very good eating.

- See some water up ahead. - Yeah.

I'm sure we'll be able to find some, like...

Fishes in these little pools.

- Oh, yes! - 'cause they'll be a bit safer, you know?

You can still see the bottom here.

There's some fish. Check it.

- Oh, yes! - Look at them all coming here.

Hundreds, looks like.

- This might be the sweet spot later. - Yep.

Are you skilled with, like, weaving baskets and...

- I'm actually pretty decent. - Okay, awesome.

- I think we can catch some fish. - Yeah.

My grandmother was part choctaw indian,

And she showed me plants to eat and some traps to make

And things that she learned from her ancestors.

You see there's also snails.

Are they good to eat?

I've never eaten them, but I know they are edible, so...

see, there's hippo tracks here.

Does it look like kind of a small one?

Um, no.

Good to know.

Hippos just kill you for fun.

- They don't even want to eat you. - Yeah.

I was thinking we cross to that little island just here.

- Then head straight over? - Yeah.

There is some fish. Small fish.

- I'm just gonna go nice and slow here. - Okay.

It's moving pretty fast!

You can feel that water trying to take your feet, eh?

Yep!

Do you need a hand?

- Got it. - Okay.

- Give you a hand. - All right.

- That's good. - You got it?

Okay, one more section.

Holy crap!

- Maybe it'll be a little more shallow than back there. - Maybe.

- I think that's deeper, though. - Great.

Okay, let's go.

- Here we go. - Yep.

Let's do it!

I'm so worried about falling

- And going down to where the crocodiles are! - Yeah.

Moving pretty fast!

Yeah, so it's gonna get a little bit deeper here now.

- You can feel the water trying to take your feet, eh? - Yep.

I'm just gonna stay here where I can keep myself pushed against these rocks.

Warrick!

I'm just gonna stay here where I can keep myself pushed...

- yeah. - Against these rock

Warrick!

- Okay? - Good.

- Okay. - Thank you!

Maybe we try to go around that rock there.

Thank goodness we didn't cut our feet on a rock.

Yeah, I was thinking that.

Good job!

- Done! - Yes!

So, that means we're on the island that we want to be on.

- Okay. - So, I think we just gotta walk a little bit more

- And find a place where we can build our shelter. - Okay.

It's pretty strong out there

I was pretty worried about getting swept away...

Into the crocodile and hippo land,

But my partner was amazing

And held onto me,

So, he saved the day.

See how big these elephants' foot are?

- Check it out. - They're huge! Wow.

I was thinking, with our shelter,

Let's definitely be, like, close enough to water,

- But... - okay.

- Also definitely off the elephant highways. - Right,

And maybe up a little higher so it'll be hard for something in the water to come up to us.

- Yeah. - Especially at night.

Yeah.

What do you think about here?

- Like, over in there? - Like, in here.

Doesn't look like the elephants cross here too much.

I'd say let's go for it, and then we'll see how the night goes...

- Okay. - And if we feel it's a little dangerous,

- Then we'll just move tomorrow. - Yeah, yeah.

- Okay. - Maybe, um, we get the fire started.

- We can boil some water. - Okay.

Do you want this here?

Sure, perfect.

There we go.

Nice one!

- I'm gonna go get some water quick, okay? - Perfect.

When we're filling up with water and stuff,

Just gotta be careful.

There is for certain, uh, big crocs here.

Okay, so here's some water.

- Awesome! - I'll heat this.

How big do we wanna make our shelter?

So, do you see, like, how these...

These branches of this tree just, like, wrap around us?

We can kinda maybe just...

Close it off in front of us.

This type of shelter that we're building here

Is called a boma.

We're gonna be kinda surrounded

By all these thornbushes and branches.

Nighttime is coming pretty quickly,

And our shelter is coming along really nicely,

But I am pretty concerned.

Um, there's a lot of elephants.

A lot of evidence around her there's some elephant dung.

I'm hoping just every night we can just add to it and make it stronger,

And the elephants leave us alone.

I don't know. That feels pretty hot.

Uh, like, I could just pour a small sip here.

I have been, uh, worried that I might be overworking myself a bit,

But I've still got, uh, quite a bit of energy,

Um, but I am also trying to conserve my energy.

My brother did warn me before coming out here

Just to try not to overwork yourself too much.

The cause of my brother tapping out

Was that he overworked himself in the heat

And it led to low blood suga

So, I am definitely keeping that in mind.

First night! So excited!

And I'm already hungry.

- Yeah. - Food tomorrow for sure.

Okay, so we have elephants.

The elephants are very close.

Do you hear that?

How do you know it won't come in here with the fire?

- I think I got maybe an hour of sleep total. - Yeah.

I'm not elephant savvy.

They were literally right there.

They could just push over this tree and stomp on us.

Yeah. While this boils, I'm gonna go see

If I can find some food.

And I could go ahead and at least get started on the fish basket.

Yep.

I'm keeping a good eye out for elephant

It does make you feel a bit vulnerable.

I eat quite a lot.

Um, probably six meals a day

I'd say the longest I've gone without food is

Just, uh, one day.

We're gonna have to try to find food just to keep us in the game

this is gonna be part of my fish basket.

Nasty little things.

My grandmother actually did teach me a lot about traps.

And I would love to see it actually

Work for us and bring in food.

Too many branches in the way.

That was close.

It's difficult to get these tiny little birds with my bow

Because they're like that big and they never stay still,

Left and right, one branch to the next.

Oh!

Damn!

I brought my bow because I thought there was gonna be

Black warthogs and big game that I could shoot.

But on a smaller island with only bird life and fish life,

It's extremely difficult to get food.

- Day three. - Oh.

Yeah.

Today is day three,

And it's the day that my brother got, uh, medically pulled out

So, very tough for me because I really wanted to, uh, finish the 21 days.

It's important to me that warrick watches his energy levels.

I know he's feeling pretty weak right now.

And I don't want warrick to leave.

I really don't want to do this challenge alone.

I'm hoping to keep positive thinking today

And hopefully prevent him thinking about his brother.

My partner is pretty awesome.

Kat made a brilliant fish trap.

Definitely teamwork is gonna be a crucial part

Of making it through this challenge.

- I think it's good. What do you think? - I think it's good.

Let me go right in there.

I got a bit of a headache today.

I'm hungry. Very hungry.

Let's go shoot some birds.

They move fast, eh.

They're so small.

For anyone, even the best archers in the world,

To hit a tiny little bird is kind of gonna be a lucky shot.

I'm quite concerned about him.

He went on four treks yesterday,

And I had trouble making a couple short ones.

So, we're just running on empty right now.

Warrick. I'm gonna go sit right here.

Hey.

Warrick.

Warrick.

Warrick.

Warrick.

You okay?

I'm feeling a bit faint, so...

Think I'll have a little rest.

I know warrick is having a really hard tim

And just mentally drained right now.

And I am, too.

I know he's just trying to push through today.

I'm concerned about his health, though.

'cause he eats 6,000 calories a day.

I'm like 1,500.

People wonder sometimes if this is real.

It's pretty darn real.

With the lack of food, my energy levels are rock bottom.

When I stand up, I get dizzy.

You know, not getting enough food

Plays, uh, mental challenge with your brain.

Kind of makes you feel down

And miss home and miss your wife and miss your baby.

So the most important thing is finding food.

I'm gonna just have a look for some mussels.

That would be an amazing find.

I really don't want to get to far out there

Where it drops off and the crocodiles might be.

Found a mussel.

Caught more.

Second one.

I think this is gonna help warrick a lot.

- Hey. - Hello.

Got the water. Did find something else.

Whoa.

- Jeepers! What a good find? - It's good.

I'm super... - that's like the best find so far.

Bless you.

Seeing kat pull those mussels out of her bag,

Um, feels so awesome, knowing that we have food.

And that we can go back ther and look for more at a later stage.

End of day three, I'm really excited.

Warrick is still with me.

We're just gonna try to watch each other's back.

So, we can help each other make it to the end.

Chewy.

Zero flavor.

Mmm.

It's day four now

And I've past, uh, my brothe

So I feel like I'm on my way now

To accomplishing this challenge.

Let's go and check this fish trap.

We're still really hungry.

Once we get food, we're gonna be great.

Nothing.

We are so hungry that we are starting to freaking lose our minds.

Okay, so, let's go explore some new grounds.

Do you think if we go up here, we can follow those elephant footprints?

Feeling...

My energy drop today, for sure.

I already had to sit down once.

Sounds like there's elephant

Up ahead.

Shh.

You don't wanna get too close...

Because if that thing chases you and wants to kill you, it will.

And when you try to run around all these bushes

It will just run straight over everything.

Just stay still.

You see how they run over everything?

Imagine if it wanted to come this way, like...

These trees can't save you.

That was exciting.

Made my heart beat...

Really hard.

Today, we wanna go fishing,

And I'll definitely try avoiding the elephants.

Let's have a look.

Unfortunately, there's nothing in here.

I really want fish for dinner tonight.

Did you catch anything?

- No, no. - No?

Okay.

What if we take the trap across the river?

What do you think?

Something's not working and you just have to try to be creative and...

- Come up with something else. - Yeah.

We are going to cross the river

Where we saw tons of fish on our insertion walk.

I know there's fish in there.

We've been having pretty rotten luck catching any food.

The river is pretty fast-flowing

And can knock you off your feet.

I know it's a risk but a good chance for us to get some food today.

Cross here on these rocks.

Crossing the river was very sketchy the first time

And I actually fell on one spot.

And warrick saved me and he doesn't have the energy to save me again.

So it's very important that we get a meal today.

I've never gone so long with so little food.

I don't know if my body is gonna be able to make it

It is definitely a concern when crossing the river

Because there's crocs just right here in front of us.

Guess these rocks are sharp, eh.

Almost there, though.

I'm already seeing the fish.

- Yeah? - There, the fish are there.

Yes.

There was another place that had bigger ones, not far from here.

It was like this shallow.

- Oh, yeah? - And there were bigger ones.

- Do you wanna go check it? - I can.

I'm looking for the very shallow clear water we saw on day one.

There were lots of fish.

I just don't wanna use all my energy walking around

Starting to feel weak.

Like even just lifting your arm is, like,

Quite a mission.

That is a...

Hippo.

This is what I was talking about.

But birds may have had the same idea...

As me.

Really disappointing.

But maybe we'll catch some fish

Where the fish basket is now.

Well...

being here and suffering,

It almost seems like, "what the hell am I doing here?"

You know.

I'm sure my brother is at home

Hoping that I keep on staying longer and longer

And what's keeping me here is I don't wanna be a failure.

Um...

I think that's the main thing.

I just have to find my way back.

It's kind of easy to get turned around here.

Hey, warrick! Where are you?

Warrick!

Warrick!

I'm just worried.

I'm worried I'm getting lost right now.

Warrick!

I'm worried I'm getting lost right now.

Hey, warrick!

Warrick!

Yeah.

- Hey! - Well, there you are.

Got turned around.

- Did you get lost? - Yes.

Lack of food has definitely affected me today.

I got a fright.

How long was I gone for?

- Long, very, very long. - Yeah.

I just kept walking in circles.

I've just see a whole bunch of them swim past.

Are we gonna leave this fish trap here overnight?

I feel like a lot better location here.

Okay.

The location is pretty far away from our shelter.

- Now I hope it works. - Yeah.

I hope we have energy to come back and check it.

Is that where we went out, right there?

- Yeah, the first day. - Yeah.

I think walk with your feet facing that way.

It helps with the resistance of the water.

Whoa.

Thank you.

You would have floated

Straight into the main channel of the zambezi

- with all the crocs and hippos. - Yep.

Crocodile food for sure.

I hope this pays off.

I have literally no fuel in my petrol tank anymore.

It is a lot of energy to expend.

Was that a wise decision?

I don't know but it was worth a try.

It was very tiring.

So, people, starvation is real.

We are so hungry and our bodies had so little calories

That we get lost, we forget what we're doing.

This challenge is so hard.

It's not just because you're hungry.

It's because of what the lack of nutrients does to your brain.

Sitting here wondering, like, how things are going at home

With my fiance and our newborn baby.

I miss them so much...

That I actually, I'm having thoughts of coming home.

Yeah, he said he misses his family...

And his baby and I get that.

It just pisses me off.

We'll see.

I got my family at home.

I miss them a lot...

But...

I'm gonna push through this.

I'm absolutely terrified of staying here overnight by myself with the elephants

Like it's a huge fear of min but I'm just gonna push through till the end.

I know I can do it.

I know I'm staying, so I'm marking my day six.

It's all right here.

Hi, there.

So what are you feeling?

I'll see what I'm thinking at the end of the day.

Fair enough.

He's gonna do what he wants I can't tell him.

I'm not his mom.

You know.

I can't force him.

One of the main things that's stopping me from saying, "yes, I wanna go"

Is...

leaving you here by yourself.

Definitely would suck

- Without you here. - Yeah.

I'm gonna do my be and just try to get some foo in our bellies

Just to give us more energy

If you want something really bad,

If you put your mind to it, you can do it.

And there were like...

Literally just four birds.

Right down up in here.

- You got it? - Kat, we got a bird!

What? I might cry.

Do you see my arrow?

You've got it through the head. I'm pretty sure it's dead.

Through the one eye,

And it literally came out the other eye.

- So, kat... - Oh, my god.

How do you feel about dinner?

I'm so excited.

- We can have a drumstick each. - Yes.

So we are finally gonna eat good tonight.

Yes!

Pretty much one of the hardest animals to shoot, I would say.

It's tiny, eh?

It's a excellent shot.

Probably the best shot I've ever seen.

I've never been so happy to see a dead bird.

Go time. Barbecue bird.

We have literally been starving.

You might have seen us eat

One or two things here or there,

But I promise you, like, that much food.

That may not seem like a lot of meat

To anyone else.

But to warrick and I, it's our mini feast.

No one knows starving until they go five days

- Without food. - Yeah.

There's your drumstick.

I pulled off the meat.

But you eat everything. You eat the bones.

Mmm. This is the best bird I've ever eaten.

- In my life. - Mmm.

- Go. - Got that.

What the!

Go. Go. Go.

Go. Where's it at?

What the!

You all are not gonna believe this.

Guinea fowl came and roosted.

Right above our boma.

And, well,

Warrick took a shot...

And...

Got it!

Whoo-hoo! Oh, my gosh, warrick!

- Look at that. - Yes!

- We are eating tonight! - So hungry.

Damn, warrick, that was amazing.

- Amazing. - Game changer.

Two birds. One day.

Tonight is the first time in six days

That we are actually gonna be full.

Dinner.

On the barbecue, we've got drumsticks and it's back.

It is incredible.

- Mmm! - Smells so good.

- Um, all yours. - Mmm.

What a difference a meal can make.

I shot two birds today.

And I feel like a different person.

I felt like tapping out today.

I was this close to leaving.

But after eating those two birds,

I'm feeling positive again.

The skin's the best, eh?

Actually, my favorite piece was the ass.

He literally ate the ass

I'm so excited that warrick's staying.

Such a relief.

I wanted to leave.

But there was a part of me that was feeling bad

And maybe thinking that it's the wrong decision.

I'm gonna take it one day at a time.

It's a fight between hunger and staying here for kat.

And for my brother.

What I am learning about myself is

I do have a bit of a sense of honor for other people.

And there he is.

On the other side of the zambezi river.

Crazy.

Mr. Elephant, can you please bring

Our fish basket back across the river?

That would be amazing.

I ate my last bit of guinea fowl last night

And now I'm back to hunger pains.

Today we want to get more birds.

It's gonna spend less energy missioning very far

And we're gonna try shooting them with the bow.

Because eating those birds made us so happ

And we want to stay like that every day

I really want to go get my fish trap today,

But just do not have the energy to go over there

And check it.

Everything that I shot,

They've been very rare opportunities.

And for, like, a guinea fow to come land

In a tree above us again, that was

Like a one in a million chance.

Another day in paradise.

I'm starving.

I'm looking for mussels and snails.

And there's some tiny snails, but not worth eating.

It'd be like ant-sized meat.

Might as well let them grow up.

You know what I was thinking?

I can just put my fish basket right here and catch crabs.

If I go get it back.

I really need to go get it back.

But it's across the river.

But I need warrick with me because I freaking drown

Almost every time I go in there.

Do you want to try to go get that fish trap tomorrow?

You think you can?

Oh, I don't know.

I think I'm gonna waste my energy.

I get that.

Well, you wanna get it and then bring it back, yeah?

I think I'm gonna go get it tomorrow.

But I think I can do it even if you're feeling too drained.

Kat wants to go back,

Far back,

Um, and waste a lot of energy to get a fish basket.

I think it's a waste of time

She seems very enthusiastic about it.

I don't want to kill her dreams.

I'm feeling like I physically could go get it

But it's across the river.

And maybe it's empty, but I just feel

Like there might be fish swimming around in that.

It'd take a lot of work and I would love

To see it actually bring in food.

I wonder how much weight we've lost now.

I was wondering that myself.

You've definitely lost weight.

- You can tell? - Yeah.

Do you really want to get the, uh, fish basket?

Because it is quite far.

I've been thinking about that.

I really think that the risk of going to get it,

- Crossing the river might outweigh the benefit. - Yeah.

So, why don't we just...

- Leave the fish basket. - Yeah.

Mmm-hmm.

Elephants are really close to our boma.

Really, really close.

Wow.

You can hear them cracking the trees.

They just walk over trees like it's nothing.

They are huge.

Eight of them.

- Gorgeous. - Holy

we might have company...

- In the boma tonight. - We've got company.

Guys.

There's an elephant.

Really close by.

Scared out of my mind. Oh, my god.

You don't know real fear until you're lying there

On the ground and there's an elephant

20 yards outside of your boma.

Or six elephants.

And the only thing that's protecting you

Is a little bitty fire and a few branches.

It's ridiculous if you think about it.

Ow.

I think we need to move.

What do you think?

There were elephants all night long.

And it's been hard finding food.

I'm kind of tired of this place.

We haven't been to the end of the island yet

Where there's another food source.

- Maybe we go check it out. - Yeah.

Hopefully, there's more food there

And a little less elephants.

Yeah.

Because that's our extraction.

So, right now, we're there.

If we can get to here,

Then extraction day will be shorter.

- That'll make extraction day a lot easier. - Yeah.

We are moving to the northeastern tip

Of the island.

If we can go tomorrow, like,

- Break things up, eh? - Yeah, absolutely. Just help our minds.

Today's day 12 and we are moving.

We're just ready for a new start.

Let's do it.

We want to stick to the route

And then get to the point.

So, we just want to make sure that we've got

Visual of the water at all times.

To reach the north shore

And the promise of better resources,

Kat and warrick will need to journey

Through a popular grazing sp

For the island's herd of elephants.

Our energy levels are feeling very low.

Short breath but, uh, walking very slowly.

Getting thirsty.

You wanna rest for a minute?

Yeah. Here, sit on the sand.

- Rest about five minutes. - Okay.

Just tell me when you're ready because I don't know time.

Ready if you are.

Ah...

- warrick. - Huh?

- You okay? - Sorry. I almost fainted.

I'm really worried about warrick passing out.

I hope moving isn't a bad idea.

The only thing that's keeping me going right now

Is my brother and knowing what it means for him

For me to finish.

It looks like we've reached

The most northeast part of the island.

Yes.

So now we need to find...

A place that's out of the wind.

Absolutely.

Kat, what about in here?

Let's check it out.

Do you think the wind will blow in there?

It'll be out of the way of the elephants.

- Yeah. - And hippos.

So you just have to clear a little hollow

- And it is already here. - Let's check.

We could sweep all these twigs away.

- I like it. - Yeah.

This might be home.

We just have to clear out inside

And make sure we have a good windbreak

And I think it'll work.

Fire.

We'll just got the fire started.

This is gonna be for windbreak.

Pretty cold morning.

Holy freak, it's cold out here.

I didn't sleep very much.

- Yeah. - That trek, it took a lot out of me.

Hopefully, there's more food in the area.

There, on the far rock there.

Seems to be something lying down.

It could be a croc.

These crocs, they like to come out

And sit on rocks or sit on the banks

And just bask in the sun a bit,

Especially after a long, cold night.

This croc's about five feet long.

It would be a good meal.

I'm very happy that we've, uh, found this new location

And we've moved here.

If I could kill a croc, that would mean

Challenge is done and dusted

I think I'm gonna get in here

And see if I can get up behind him,

'cause he's facing that way and just maybe

Grab him on the tail.

A crocodile would be a nice kill.

I know they are dangerous,

But I don't have any fear for them.

I actually want to get close

But I think that's, like, part of the starvation

Affecting my brain.

If this works, it'll be a miracle.

It'll be the best thing of this challenge.

He's definitely closer than I thought he would get

If he gets to it,

He's gonna have to have really fast reflexes

So that croc doesn't bite hi

Oh.

He turned.

Uh, slid into the river.

Holy.

Holy [blee.

Warrick!

Oh,.

Croc saw warrick and slid into the river.

Holy.

I'm impressed.

Awesome attempt.

Clever, clever little dude.

I exerted quite a lot of energy

Trying to get a crocodile.

But it was worth a try anyway.

If I can get a croc,

That would be 21 days.

No problem.

Whew.

Hey, kat.

Hey. You got pretty close to the croc.

I saw one fish in here.

Maybe there's more if you wanna go in there

And see if you see more fish.

Yeah.

I'm feeling really hungry today.

Hey, here's a fish.

I probably need to make another fish trap.

Yeah.

I want fish.

We have a good idea for a fish trap.

Number two, yay, get to build another one.

Look at all the fish. They're taunting me.

You see them?

The fish that we're seeing,

We're seeing very small fish

And they may just be too small

And get through the fish trap.

So we'll see how it goes.

This move didn't provide the food

We were hoping for, but...

You make plans and it doesn't work out

And you have to come up with a backup.

Otherwise, you're not gonna make it.

Survival is all about adapting to your environment

Learning as you go, and not give up.

So I'm gonna untie these later and make a "u."

But it's gonna be smaller. What do you think?

Good.

There's a lot of little fish right here.

Maybe you could come sit with your bow and arrow

And if you see a big one, murder it.

So close.

The challenge is proving to myself

That I have grit.

When I decide I wanna do something,

I'm gonna keep going after I

But now I really am ready to eat.

As time goes on,

This challenge gets more and more difficult

And it just seems to go on and on and on.

Heck, yeah.

I just caught a frog and I'm not opening my hand.

I never thought I'd be so happy that we're eating frog.

- Tastes like chicken. - Mmm.

- You have it. - You can have it.

I always try to give warric a little bit more of the foo

Just because he needs more and he's struggling.

But, um, he's hanging in there.

Quite tasty.

- Right? - It tastes like a bird leg.

My mind is all focused on finishing the challenge

And I, I know I will 'cause I'm

Not going to tap out at this point, that would be stupid.

Even though, like, physicall I'm feeling very drained.

It might feel good for you to get in the water

And just kind of float around. It's a little deeper there.

I respect kat and these past couple of day

She has been helping me through.

Every day it has been a huge struggle just to stay

all right, someone's been eating all the muscles.

Warrick's really struggling today.

I was hoping he'd feel good enough to help me do this

But I don't think he is.

I'm going to have to try to get food for both of us.

I'm going to be so excited I might scream

If I get a fish in my fish basket

Because so far I've been having terrible luck.

There's a crab in here.

But no fish.

Show me your little crab.

This is the one he roasted.

He's going to eat it shell and all.

I'm trying everything I kno as far as food

To get him through to extraction with me.

When you get more and more desperate for food

Actually I don't mind what we eat now.

These are termites in the firewood

And they got a bit of protein in them

So we're going to eat them.

Getting them all off.

And they falling into the pot lid.

There's a lot of dirt in here.

Right, let me just put the water in.

So the dirt would sink and the termites float.

That's how desperate we are.

I'll eat anything right now.

A lot of dirt in there.

What I would not give for fish right now.

And nada.

- There's nothing in here. - Yeah?

And we decided to move it to the river.

We're close to the bank where it's slow moving

And we've seen some crab activity.

You all right?

Nineteen days into the challenge,

Kat and warrick have each consumed barely 1,200 calori

And warrick has burned nearly 60,000 calories.

Anemia is setting in and their motor skills

Are now compromised from the lack of nutrition.

He's fighting really hard to stay.

But he's struggling big time.

He's having trouble even pulling his bow back

Right now. He's just... Just has no energy.

I hope he can push through.

But, I don't know.

Doing all right?

Like death.

My body's just finished.

Why don't you just go lay down.

This just in, an all-inclusive resort

On the island of paradise.

Want to lose that last 5 pounds?

Come on over.

Pristine water straight from the river.

I'll just give you the for a couple days

And you'll lose those 5 pounds like that. Guaranteed.

What else do we offer, warrick?

We offer starvation. Hard beds.

Dirty body. Yes, very nice.

Come on over. We got a deal for you.

Warrick?

His eyes are rolled back in his head.

- Warrick? - I'm just dizzy.

Warrick, you just passed out.

Okay.

To ensure he's not in any danger,

The producers call in the medic to check on warrick.

- Warrick? - Uh-huh.

I think I was just dizzy.

Try to sit up.

So you've probably got a bit of heat exhaustion.

You are a little bit dehydrated.

Your vital signs and everything else are okay.

I'll get you some water.

He's been doing worse and worse every day.

He has like, turned around his mindset.

He wants this really bad. And I want it bad for him.

So, we'll see.

I drank the pot of water.

And I do feel a little bit more hydrated now.

So, yeah, we'll see.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have more energy.

I can't believe it's been 20 days already.

Today, our goal is to save our energy.

We have a pretty big walk tomorrow for extraction.

Finally caught a fish in the fish trap!

Yay! It's officially a fish trap.

Caught a fish on the last day.

It's little. I don't care.

I'm so happy. I feel validated that the fish trap works.

Fish head.

Fish brain.

Fish skull.

It is evening of day 20.

We are ready to get the hell out of here.

Let us know how you really feel, warrick.

It is day 21.

And I am so excited.

When I get home, I'm gonna enjoy everything so much more.

My family.

Food.

Map-wise, we're at the tip of this island.

We need to head northeast

- To extraction. - Extraction.

Goodbye, boma.

Nice not knowing you.

After 21 days and malnourished,

Warrick and kat must again enter the untamed waters of the zambezi river.

Once across, they will need to traverse their third and final island.

A mile and a half trek over thorn-covered terrain,

Avoiding the constant threa of roaming elephants.

At the end of the island, they will need to make one final river crossing

Through swift-moving waters before reaching their extraction point.

See? This is where we're gonna cross.

Let's do it.

Watch for crocs.

The zambezi river is not the kind of river

You wanna be facing on zero energy.

It'll sweep you right off your feet

And you can end up in the deep, deep waters with crocs and hippos.

Now, we're getting a bit rocky.

Ow.

How do you feel?

My legs are feeling pretty weak right now.

- Like jelly. - So weak. So weak.

I definitely feel like I'm getting weaker.

Yeah, me too.

I don't wanna fall over or be incapable of finishing.

There's a lot of downed vines and trees here.

- Yeah. - Definitely where the elephants travel.

Yeah, the elephants love it here.

Ah!

- A bit thorny, right? - Yeah.

I've had enough of this island.

Yeah.

I hear the rapids.

Go through here.

It's quite a strong little flow, eh?

It is.

That's a long crossing.

And it looks fast.

It's slippery. Feel it?

- Here, let me go a bit forward. - Thank you.

Feel the ground.

Slowly.

Be really careful.

Be careful here.

Okay, I'll stay on this side of you.

Good teamwork.

That's our last crossing.

A bit dizzy.

Oh, okay.

Seeing stars a bit.

If we need a break, just let me know.

No, it's just, uh, feeling faint.

I just, uh, can't wait to... To finish.

Let's head down to the beach.

This looks like the area.

I see something.

- Where? - Look.

What's that?

It's a boat!

- Whoo! - Woo-hoo!

Yes!

We rocked it! Whoo!

That was definitely an experience of a lifetime.

Whoo!

There was a lot of times I wanted to tap out,

But, uh, kat was positive the whole way through.

She helped me a lot to get to the end.

I'm really happy you stayed.

Getting through those water crossings would have been...

- yeah. - Really challenging by myself.

People look at me sometimes and I don't look like

I may be able to survive in a situation.

But I always prove people wrong

And I do feel like I did again.

After 21 days, kat endured the rigors of the challenge,

Losing a total of 22 pounds

Her primitive survival ratin jumps from 6.4 to 7.5.

It's your brother.

So we finally finished. Had me worried, it was the longest time of my life.

He crushed it. He did amazing.

Absolutely, we were partners. It was the only way we got through.

Cheers, eh?

Bye.

- Think he's pretty proud of you. - Yeah.

- Feels good, huh? - Yeah.

Severely weakened warrick willed his way to the finish line.

He completes the challenge shedding 36 pounds.

His psr climbs from a 6.7 to a 7.7.

My family was behind me all the way and supporting me.

So I feel very proud of myself for sticking it out.

Especially being the first south african to complete this challenge.

Even though I suffered so much through this,

I'd love for my brother to get a chance to come bac

So he can feel what it feels like to finish the challenge.

We pushed our bodies to the limit.

I wouldn't have been able to physically stay there one more day.

I did not think warric was gonna make it.

But he just kept digging deeper and deeper

And we definitely helped each other push through.

I wanna stand on here like titanic.

- Yes! - Whoo!

We rocked it!
