Narrator: These eight veteran survivalists

have endured the harshest terrains on earth...

Africa!

...With no food, no water, and no clothes.

For their next challenge,

they're attempting the impossible --

to watch a new season of "naked and afraid xl"...

From a comfy couch.

For one night...

Oh!

They'll share reactions...

It's hot, and not just because makani's here.

Hey!

...Insights...

That's a "get me the hell out of here" face.

...And opinions...

She's the drama queen!

...If they make it out alive.

She is in need of social distancing

more than the rest of us.

jake: Hi!

Aah! I miss you!

Oh, I miss you too.

Hey, stace. Good to see you.

Today is the first time that I, like, looked in the mirror

or bothered to brush my hair in weeks.

It almost seems like "naked and afraid."

we're 6,000 miles away, so we are like the epitome

of social distancing right now.

Yeah, I think that's far enough.

You ready? Let's see it!

Let's watch this show.

Let's do it!

Here we go.

Who's gonna get banished?!

I can't wait to see what happens next.

Neither can I. We left on some good cliff hangers there.

Hello, plant. We're gonna eat today.

They just ate aloe vera, which I was just like.

"major score."

maybe they should have cooked it first

because we all know, in africa, don't eat the fruit.

Yes. I learned that the hard way...

Or the soft way, if you will.

Ugh.

I'm glad it's out.

There's definitely something in that plant

that's [bleep] up both of our heads.

I'm gonna have to call a medic.

The medic comes in. It's never a good sign.

Please don't tap me out. Please don't take me out.

I know, right?

It's a different kind of banishment.

It's not your your fellow challenger is banishing you.

It's the medical team banishing you.

And, I mean, you have no choice.

Medic: Gwen? How is your breathing?

Now, I haven't seen too many people on oxygen before

on this challenge,

like seeing the oxygen hooked up to her nose up.

That's scary.

But whatever already started processing inside me

is doing a number.

I think he's high.

What you've eaten is -- it's called bitter aloe.

There's nothing poisonous in it.

There's nothing dangerous in it.

Well, there's something in it that is dangerous.

[ laughs ]

man...

All for some aloe.

Mm-hmm. There you go.

Stretch those hammies.

Thank you for the reminder, makani,

because this actually does feel really good.

Ooh! Something popped. [ laughs ]

makani: Eating meat out here is very difficult.

I think it just took a large toll on me, especially.

I'm not sure that's the way.

I'm thinking makani might be my perfect partner.

You can eat her share.

Yeah. [ laughs ]

I don't have to share a damn thing.

Bulent, he shouldn't be complaining right now, man.

He's got it made.

Animals out here -- I just want to be one of them.

seth: I just heard thunder.

[bleep]'s about to get real.

That's a storm a-brewin'.

Uh-oh. No.

When you hear those storms coming

and you know you're gonna get hit, it's just a matter of time,

it is the worst feeling in the world

and it just sucks.

Suzanne: We are getting ready for the evening.

But the wind is crazy right now.

Preparation is key.

So hopefully these two are prepared for this storm.

Suzanne probably already made a storm shelter.

She's got a backup shelter that he doesn't know about.

[ laughs ]

it's super windy.

Go away!

[ laughs ] go away, wind!

[ laughs ]

I don't think stick will keep mother nature at bay, stacey.

Not today, buddy.

The wind is nasty.

I think I just saw [bleep] lightning. Give me a break.

The storm always catches you.

And I bet you nothing the storm's about to catch

kate with her pants down.

Her pants off. [ chuckles ]

oh, god.

Oh, there you go.

Oh, god.

The hardest moments of the whole thing, at night.

[bleep] [bleep].

[bleep] [ crying ]

she's crying.

Oh, man.

And it doesn't even look like the rain has hit yet

and she's already in tears.

This might be one of the worst nights of her life.

[ sobbing ]

[ screams ]

whoo! The scream of kate.

[ laughs ] she needs to trademark that scream.

[ screaming ]

[bleep] cold!

Being in quarantine and the whole social distancing thing,

I also curl up into a ball every night

and just scream now, so I find kate very relatable.

Her one yell outburst from her first challenge

ended up at the beginning of literally every single episode.

It did. It did.

Get me out!

have you ever seen two people cuddle back-to-back?

No. [ laughs ]

that looks miserable, dude.

It doesn't matter if you like

or hate the person, you still need that.

Use your bodies for what they are,

Having somebody next to you literally keeps you alive.

I'm not gonna push.

No, no, no, no. That's pushing.

Yeah. That's how we're gonna do this.

I'm not pushing all night.

Maybe he needs to work on his cuddle skills.

I don't know. [ laughs ]

I feel like that's how turtles would cuddle.

So knock it off. It's not just about you.

Ooh. Yeah, that's nice.

You really feel that heat in your shoulder blades.

You're welcome.

Who's your bet to tap it next? 'cause somebody's gonna tap.

I think kate's gonna tap next.

Handshake to make the bet?

Hold on. Where the hell are you, stacey?

I lost you. There you are.

♪

last night was complete [bleep].

I know that face. I've been that pissed off and miserable before.

That's a "get me the hell out of here" face.

Don't let me down, kate.

There was a lot of thunder, a lot of lightning.

Add the you add the winds on top of that.

It was freezing -- freezing cold.

I just feel like I've exhausted all my internal resources.

Why is she putting her fire out?

Kate, stay. Kate.

I feel like she's gonna quit. I told you.

There's no other reason to stifle your fire like that.

It's kind of hard when you're by yourself, you know?

Oh, she's just done with that, though.

Kate knows where it's gonna tap.

This is my map.

She's gonna go somewhere else.

She's looking up airplane tickets.

[ laughs ]

bulent doesn't seem to care too much what I feel.

It seems pretty clear to me that his priority is himself.

What's she doing?

I don't -- carrying mud back to the boma.

No, not in your bag!

[ laughs ] yeah.

That's a rookie move there.

You should know better than that.

Just putting some mud in my sack.

Oh, my god. I would never put mud in my bag.

No, that's like...

It's your pillow, it's your hat during rain storms.

It's your everything.

You don't put mud in your everything.

I kind of wanted to talk about something

that's just been on my mind lately.

Oh, god.

He's gonna blow.

Then stop. Just stop.

No. Get it, girl.

I'm trying to work for us,

and I'm trying to, like, work for a team.

But this definitely doesn't feel like a team.

I honestly don't think that they're gonna last

very long together because they're so different.

I'm here to work with someone, not for someone.

I can banish myself,

and then you'll be happily ever after

and you don't feel like you're working for anybody.

That's a little extreme.

Yeah, that's kind of a nuclear reaction.

I'm not happy with this team.

Okay.

I have so much respect, however,

for this conversation,

that she's trying to just sit down --

me, too. Absolutely.

I'm proud of her, dude. She's killing it.

Oh! This is like watching a breakup happen in real time.

Makani: To be honest, I can't wait to get out of here.

She'll eat a little yogurt, eat a couple of leaves,

and she'll be okay.

He's gonna lose his mind.

Who knows how far the journey ahead is going to be.

I just want to prepare.

Oh, she made some hay shoes.

It's not gonna work.

I mean, you got to have faith, right?

And people do have faith in hay shoes.

Yeah! [ laughs ]

oh, my god!

I mean, I don't care how well they work,

I would not be caught dead in those hideous shoes.

So, I just left the camp and bulent,

and now it's time to find my tribe.

I'm super stoked, super happy.

Look at her in the background! [ laughs ]

with the grass on the feet!

[ laughs ]

she hasn't even left yet and he's saying how happy he is!

She's like disappearing into the sunset.

She's only 30 feet away!

There's all my primitive-survival problems

leaving right now -- all of them.

Whoa.

That's not cool.

All the primitive -survival problems are leaving right now!

All of them.

I think they're just starting, pal.

Narrator: Coming up...

Seth: [ whistles ] hey!

kate: It's too [bleep] hot out here.

I'm fried.

Oh, let's see how kate's holding up.

Oh, I'm so curious about this.

That's always a good sign, when you're singing

"don't lose your [bleep]" to yourself.

Oh!

Aah!

That looks hot.

Like hot asphalt, man.

Ooh! [bleep].

Aah!

[ laughs ]

imagine being out hunting and having that

come running into your camp.

I would take out the bow and I'd just shoot it.

Oh, they're naked people.

We should go find out who it is.

That's always a memory you'll never forget,

when you see another naked person just, like,

walking across the landscape.

Wes!

Wes: Yeah?

We got visitors!

Do we?

Come down to the watering hole!

Hi, there. You need help?

Oh, no. Gwen does not look excited about it.

No, she doesn't.

She's just like, "here we go."

we got tribes breaking apart,

self-banishers coming together with other tribes.

We got mom drama in seth's camp.

Absolutely.

Hey, I'm kate.

Gwen: Hey, kate. Straight ahead, my dear.

It's an immediate red flag to see somebody arrive alone,

especially in the valley of the banished,

where you don't know if a person has been banished.

Gwen and I have been such good partners so far.

You know, we don't need any drama or anything like that.

Oh, you're gonna have some drama, buddy.

She's the drama queen.

You by yourself? I am.

Holy crap! I have stories.

I got inserted solo. But then I met people.

And then I banished myself.

Gwen: Did you really? Yes.

I feel bad right now.

I kind of invented the whole

neighbors, not roommates thing

and now it's an actual thing for people, like,

a full year or two later.

You should feel bad.

Let's talk real quick. [ chuckles ]

it's kind of like the people that built the nuclear bomb

and then later they said that, "we just created

the worst thing the world has ever..."

I feel like I just created a nuclear bomb

and now they're about to use it on kate.

As long as she contributes and brings something to the table.

It's all about somebody wanting to try.

If they want to give it a try, we'll give them a shot.

I think this is the best group that she could have joined.

They have already proven they have no qualms

with banishing the weak and staying strong.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna try to put in a lot of effort

into getting my hands on some meat.

Rest.

There'll be plenty to do. We got lots to do.

I say by the end of today, they have banished her.

'cause that's what I would have done.

Yeah, but they're not like you, though.

They're nice.

Touché.

You know who we haven't seen for a minute,

is sarah and jon and ryan.

That is true. That is true.

The only team of three that remains.

Yeah.

Anything yet?

No, nothing.

Mm-hmm. Here comes the crocs.

God, this just sucks. There's nothing.

I know.

I'm starting to get hot, man.

This is the trio of alphas that we thought

were gonna make it to the end.

This is where they fall apart.

Are you drunk?

No!

Maybe.

Ryan: I would really like to land some meat.

Big or small game, it doesn't matter.

We got hyrax.

Damn.

He's gonna ruin those arrows, man.

Our team trashed a lot of arrows

trying to shoot at those little sons of bitches.

I'm trying to get a shot at them.

But soon as I shot, my arrow's ruined.

You can't just count calories and sit and rest.

You'll never make it.

At some point, you do have to risk it for the biscuit.

Arkansas versus african.

Africa always wins.

That's the scary part about africa.

There's dinosaurs at the murder pond.

You know, you got 600-pound death cats running around.

Hyenas that eat femurs. I mean, come on.

You could be the best survivalist and hunter

in your own hometown.

You get to the amazon or africa,

it's a whole new ball game,

and you're starting from scratch.

What's at stake for me here is actually my own life

Oh, nice.

He's doing a little noodling.

This is exciting.

Who's fishing who, bro? Come on!

Get your hand in there.

Stacey and I have hand-caught catfish.

It's possible.

They'll bump into you and scare the crap out of you.

You pretty much just got to grab them and just chuck them

They don't bite, right?

Oh, hell, yeah, they bite.

When they get on the bank, you bite them.

That's right.

There we go! Look at that!

He didn't even do it. It ran out on its own.

You got to throw it.

Throw it onto the shore.

We were doing that in, like, an 8-foot pond.

It was like one twentieth the size of that.

It was impossible to get him.

Seth: Sitting in the blinds.

And I have to kill something today.

Seth looks like he's got his hunting makeup on.

Yeah, he's going straight rambo zone right now.

List your three strengths and your three weaknesses.

What can you do for me and my situation?

I've been gathering mopane and buffalo thorn leaves.

What did you go to school for?

Where do you see yourself in five years?

I've been working really hard,

but I honestly just felt like it wasn't appreciated

where I was.

Can I have a list of your four previous employers?

I need references.

I'm guessing you might want a moment.

That would be nice.

Yeah. All right.

It's not just open arms, which I was hoping for,

and it's terrifying.

I feel like my challenge is in their hands.

Having another person helps to share tasks better.

It's makani.

I think she definitely has heat stroke.

She's not perspiring. Temperature's high.

She's delirious, confused.

Oh, man.

It sucks.

Makani, do you want to stay in the challenge?

Come on, makani.

That's really scary. That's really sad.

You know. It is.

'cause it seemed like she really wanted it and was working.

Makani: I felt like I was slowly dying.

And I don't want to be a liability to anyone.

No! Makani! My girl!

I know what it's like to see people go out that way,

I just finally figured out how to pronounce your name!

Don't leave me!

Bye, africa.

what you got there, buddy?

Ooh.

There's a snake in the roots of that tree right there.

Dun dun dun dun.

Oh, get him.

Hell yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say this is a puff adder

because it doesn't look very black

and it doesn't look like a cobra to me, but it's venomous.

It will kill.

If I get bit by it, I'm out of here.

The one thing I always appreciate about venomous snakes

is they don't run, right. Mm-hmm.

Other snakes will try to get away.

Venomous snakes are just like, "try it."

yep. [ laughs ]

You catch them by hand.

The best part. And it's exciting.

It's thrilling.

You can't be afraid, though.

You make one hesitation move and you're nailed.

This is definitely one of those where you're just

weighing the risk versus reward.

Be nice to have my own kill here, too.

It would be some nice protein, but he could kill me.

What do you think that they can do with that snake?

Well, one, they're great band aids.

The options are really endless.

When they dry up, they shrivel up

and they tighten up like a frog skin.

You make you a sexy pair of crocs.

I would first make a belt for sure.

I could totally make a boot out of this.

I don't know if you'd want to use it for a bag.

And then probably some sort of, like, gorgeous loin cloth.

Mm.

Snake skin amazingness.

I'd definitely be the coolest looking cat.

I think the potato masher technique that he's using

is different but effective.

Oh, [bleep].

Oh, my god. I see him.

Holy [bleep]. That's [bleep] crazy.

I mean, at least he's going in there with some gusto.

Yeah, but how's he gonna pull it out?

Get it! Oh, he's got it pinned.

Oh, I heard something crunch.

He's got it! Smash it.

Don't let it go. Drag it out of there.

There you go. He's yours now.

You've got his head. He's yours!

Don't worry! Just stick your hand in!

Reach into that hole.

Woop, woop.

Atta boy! There you go!

Way to go, buddy.

It's a fat little guy.

It's a nice big chunky snake, too.

Yeah, yeah.

Look at the size of that head.

I'm actually impressed.

I feel positively top notch right now.

There's nothing more thrilling than catching a venomous snake.

There's nothing more thrilling than eating a venomous snake.

Especially when you are hungry.

Good for him, man. He's been all team all day.

I feel like this will probably have as much meat

as like a smallish catfish.

He's not putting on a scene right now.

he'd be feeling a lot better.

They look legitimately happy to see each other.

They do.

If you need a hunter you got one for 48 hours.

Because this is where the game is.

Absolutely.

You going down? I'm going down.

I'll find that blind down there.

Then I'm gonna sit in that tree on the high end,

and then that way, if they come to me, that's great.

If they come in the middle, the wind's blowing that way.

They'll smell me and push on down to you.

I like that they're putting a plan together

that involves all three people.

Hunting doesn't have to be a solitary venture.

You can hunt in packs, like the hyenas do at night.

There's the blind.

Wow, cool.

Oh, [bleep]. That's impressive.

That might be the best blind I've seen

on the challenge do far.

Let's just sit and wait.

It looks like she rode her motorcycle to this hunt.

God, her hair looks so good! Look at that hair!

Looks amazing. The shine is incredible.

Yeah. The dirt really fills it out.

Oh, I saw it, too.

Go extremely slow.

In case he pops up. I don't want to take a chance here.

The anticipation is killing me.

You never want to go after an animal

when you shoot with a bow the second it drops.

If you go over too fast, they may take off running again.

Well, as a master of self-restraint myself --

oh, no.

...I'm sure I would be very quiet and respectful

while the animal succumbs.

No.

Yeah!

Yes! Yes!

Yeah!

Good for you, wes!

That's victory face right there.

That is the only reason why I do these challenges

is for that moment.

Like, yes, like, that is what makes

every bit of pain and suffering worth it.

We both know how it is to go out there every single day

and end up with nothing every single day.

And then to have something like that happen,

that's the moment right there.

He'll never forget that moment for the rest of his life.

Coming in for the big one.

I'm more excited than I've been in a very long time.

This is a done deal.

We have just harvested an animal and we're going to eat today.

It's not the size that matters.

Right, rylie? Right.

Yeah, give me that blood on my face.

There you go, dude. I'll take it.
