[Music]

oh my god

[Music]

the whole thing's gonna go oh my god we

have to put this out I need to stop it

how coming huge you guys we gotta stop

this one before it hits the street

chef's dying

oh my god so I'm packing right now I

always find it really funny to pack for

this all I need is myself the 14-day fan

challenge was the hardest thing I've

ever done and I'm here to top that I'm

ready to graduate and take on 21 what's

up America

look what is on TV I'm learning from

some 21 day experts right here they

kicked Florida spot and hopefully that

will be the case with me and my partner

in Bulgaria

[Music]

a lot of steep terrain so you're walking

on terrain like that that is gonna

absolutely tell your feet apart now

we'll take you out of this challenge

quick

welcome to the balkan mountain in the

rugged mountains of eastern europe lies

sir simcha lay thick pine forests and

thorn bushes give way to steep ravines

that create the perfect funnel for

brutally cold winds as fall sets in the

temperatures will continue to drop into

the mid-40s dangerous animals out here

but that might change lurking in the

woods are jackals aggressive boar and

packs of eurasian gray wolves who can

run at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour

and are able to take down prey as large

as an elk

fascinating how many bugs are out

hearing luckily none of them have fit me

yet definitely not in a jungle this time

so it's gonna be a whole different

experience during the 14-day fan

challenge my partner gave up the morning

of day three let me go home wanna get

out of the woods I want to go home and I

had to complete 11 days by myself but I

still feel like I have something to

prove out here they'd give him a little

more than a fan though this 21-day

challenge is that next step for me I'm

hoping that my partner sticks around

this time since my last challenge I

learned a ton primitive survival skills

fire shelter building I've been walking

barefoot getting really strong so I feel

like my body is ready to take on this

challenge I was cold in Guyana and that

was hands down the hardest part of that

challenge for me

and here I'm gonna be getting cold every

single night and that terrifies me but I

have this determination to never give up

and literally anything I do so I'm

stoked that I have a further finish line

I'm gonna make it 21 days I don't know

what is in store for me out there but

there's only one way to find out I love

a challenge

I love going outside of my comfort zone

I'm real big in the nature hiking

bushcraft hunting and fishing and

trapping feel at home here so I'm

positive I can make it I just need to I

was an AW district basketball player

back in high school my senior year me

and another guy we actually went into a

convenience store and took money from

the register you know just being stupid

kids just one stupid mistake can cost

you so much I ended up being locked up a

little over two years when I got

released that is when I started taking

longer hiking excursions you know

staying off-grid for five six seven days

at a time welcome to my backyard that's

where my love and my passion for

bushcraft started when you talk survival

one of the sayings is improvise adapt

and overcome you know I've had to adapt

so many times in my life and overcome so

many obstacles I don't think there's

ever been anybody in the history of

naked and afraid that is more ready to

take this on than me

I guess this is go time it's time to get

Nike can't believe I'm doing this again

America this is just as weird as the

first time off to meet my partner with

14 days under her belt

jen is no stranger to the demands of the

challenge but her fear of the cold could

be her undoing

she begins with a primitive survival

rating she earned at the end of her fan

challenge 6.4 here goes nothing

Brandon is no stranger to adversity but

is untested in a primitive environment

he begins with a PSR of 6.0

how are you either you're my partner or

it's your loss than it's your birthday

I'm Brandon it's nice to meet you where

are you from I'm from Wisconsin how

about you Arkansas okay so this is a big

weather change for us both us thank you

this is a little similar to Wisconsin

but we don't run around this naked there

yeah yeah well it's like over 100

degrees in Arkansas right now yeah we

run around naked yeah so you ready to do

this I guess so yeah I mean yes yeah I

wanna go see what we brought yeah let's

go check it out I brought my bush knife

oh it's gonna come in handy so what did

you bring I brought pie which is great

for boiling water yes and in order to

have a chance to survive the extreme

cold of Bulgaria yes the survivalists

are also given a firestarter okay we

must be in this meadow right here yeah

our top priority would just be to into

the water to the water it looks like we

have to hike downriver looks like

there's you know snake wild boar wolves

I mean it was like a pretty dangerous

area

some things to watch out for it

absolutely so we should probably head in

let's go

watch your step because there are thorns

right here

this is pretty steep have you been

walking around barefoot at home I walked

around barefooted for like the last

month I walk mostly on pavement asphalt

oh wow look at this Hey that's water

this is crazy

it's steep then we're gonna have to kind

of figure out a way to get down go

straight 90 degree drop I mean that is

insane so definitely don't want to get

hurt definitely want to do it safely

let's figure out a path to take slow and

steady

good Wow this ground moves yeah yeah

this will definitely slide out from

underneath your feet be extremely

careful I think we can get down over

here careful thank you

[Music]

oh wow I can see the water now yeah

dreamy softer well now

yes water good job man looks like it's

gonna be time to get wet oh my god

you good Jan yeah haven't had a good ice

bath in awhile

Brandon's awesome so far I think we've

worked really well together

I'm seems very helpful it's such a

relief to have a good partner so what

kind of survival bushcraft areas are

your strongest this is actually my

second time around so I did the why I

did the 14-day fan challenge with a

certified badass be complete 14 days out

here that's awesome I'm totally looking

forward to the 21 days here with her who

was your partner he tapped out after 48

hours so 48 hours I trusted him and I

needed him to be there with me but

ultimately he left so this time around

I'm really hoping for a partner to see

21 absolutely I'm gonna be here for the

long ride I'm not gonna be like her last

partner and just be done after a few

days I get like that just slap me real

hard you're like he's stayin right

definitely be careful

[Music]

my feet hurt my little jagged rocks they

get me I'll be glad when we get out of

these rocks for me the biggest challenge

being naked is not having shoes here you

know being barefooted to go a mile might

take four or five hours that's a really

rocky hey just trying to go slow cuz I

definitely don't wanna hurt myself

I'm not as nimble and agile as you I'm

just trying to stand the dry ones

okay oh yeah I'm good it's just so

slippery I still don't see any good flat

places to the post up account these

banks are too steep we're gonna have to

keep going until we can find a path out

I just want to get somewhere before the

Sun Goes Down completely keep looking

I think you were absolutely great

oh gosh are you okay yeah

dad my well there's not any flat we need

to keep going it's cold again

he leaves the body 25 times faster in

cold water than it does in cold air

putting the survivalists at extreme risk

of hypothermia a fire it's not gonna be

much longer before that Sun Goes Down I

don't know if shelters gonna happen any

day left

yeah we're trapped in the river I'm so

cold

the forest and everything here is so

dense it's getting dark and I know the

temperatures gonna drop so I'm getting

really scared

if we can't find spot freeze to death

[Music]

it's freezin

it looks like it's clearing up up here

like a good spot for camp careful yeah

we can't see nothing looks like there's

a clearing up here sweet

it's cold well fire for sure I can make

a tinder bundle like a bird's nest it'll

hold your shavings right in the middle

of it just seems dry so can probably

help start the fire it's so cold and

we're shivering uncontrollably without a

fire you're gonna freeze and I don't

want to tap outs because of the cold no

idea

[Music]

Tyron a blast right here oh yeah oh my

god that feels so good

check out our fire how do you feel oh

man this is amazing I was so cold this

is how we roll dude if we end up like

blowing up this phone that up to a

forest fire yeah we gotta watch this

night one press of variance never give

up this is what happens

I'll no other jackals out

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

we wouldn't have that fire I don't think

we would have you know made it to night

number two it was that cold it was

brutal oh my god I wouldn't don't you

always amaze look at this two teammates

I'm grateful to have the partner that I

do thank you for not trying to tap out

yet well thank you for not trying to tap

out yeah my experience have been totally

different in Guyana had someone stick

around but this time around I'm really

looking forward to the entire 21 days

with Brandon well might you want to come

back Luis Chavez Pete I love it like you

get such it as own like it's so cool and

it's really fun to like just push

through Jim is an amazing partner she's

positive she hasn't been negative about

anything yet so far we haven't had any

food any water so it is definitely time

to go get some water

mhm oh there's thorns everywhere right

here yeah ah laying on the tree they're

falling on the ground

the hike in was long and brutal on the

feet so my feet are really hurting today

hmm how you doing

it's brutal you know choose no takes a

lot of time I just think it'd be nice to

make shoes at some point have you seen

any good bark that we could pull through

cordage everything so dry and brittle

here I mean to get the winner traffic

okay

I'm worried about Brandon his feet hurt

and he's struggling a bit uh but same

here both of our feet have got some

thorns in them I bet you can read that

now

like obviously this is not an easy

challenge we're not here for comfort you

know you're here to push through I think

a shelter would be cool maybe tomorrow I

was fine after we had fire last night so

I mean shelters not really as important

we got to get some food my stomach feels

okay has hit me pretty hard we've got to

be wild edibles I don't know why

Brandon's looking for food right now he

said its hunger pains are kicking in but

it's only day two honestly getting ready

for the night should be our top priority

and I can't build a shelter without him

I know we'll need more wood I hope to

find some sort of fruit like berries

that would be a big huge mental boost

mmm I wish I could just find like a hot

dog tree or a pizza tree a double

cheeseburger tree hunger sucks

Oh phoo here I looked everywhere there's

a bunch of fish oh wow I see them now

there's a ton what you making over here

rock star a little fish funnel it comes

out funnels back in almost like a heart

shape up top without it connecting that

way the fish swim in and they can't get

out it's so hard to do on zero energy my

feet are about to give up on me today

[Music]

there's a lot of fish out here we will

eat them

so it's not yet

you know my body's exhausted my feet are

exhausted I'm definitely surprised at

how hard this is you know coming in you

have the mindset of thriving but I'm

telling you people it's harder than it

seems to be

[Music]

- struggling my feet like so swollen hi

thorn sores blisters this is just day

two is this like what you expected I

must not say worse than I expected

accident

yeah let me do this yeah any doubts

about this 21 days I feel like tapping

out is like a hundred percent of choice

and nothing that like you really feel

like no I would get anywhere near for

any reason have you thought about

tapping off

[Music]

if you're not at all ready to leave yet

it's a little deja vu we're at less than

48 hours then my partner just drops a

bomb on me that he thinks he's gonna

leave like we don't even have a shelter

started I'm ready to go you're not

like you're not at all ready to leave

yet without a fight

we're at less than 48 hours then like we

don't even have a shelter started my

partner just drops a bomb on me that he

thinks he's gonna leave me do this it

kind of blows my mind that we're having

this discussion I think I have to do

that again maybe you should sleep on it

[Music]

[Music]

like I could throw up I don't know if my

partner is gonna stay

like deja vu you know you said at the

beginning like that we've got this and

you are never gonna leave and like I'm

only here again to have a different

experience I didn't come here hoping

that I'd get to finish 21 days alone

I've already done this by myself I

wanted to be here with a partner and do

this together and have that feeling in

that connection and that lifelong person

who understands like what this is

because you can you can tell people

about it but it's like no one gets mad

it hurts my heart knowing that I'm

letting you down like it really kills me

inside I'm gonna tap

I'm so sorry 100% sure say goodbye to

your partner and we'll get you out of

here I know you're gonna rock this okay

it's wrong you're gonna do amazing on

that way

safe travels home be well

[Music]

I feel like I gave it my all even though

I don't leave it this is more extreme

than anything I've ever done

[Music]

I don't know what's going through his

mind I mean he said that the hardest

thing is leaving me it seems like a weak

move right now I'm gonna hold my head up

and know that I give it my best so

long-lasting barely 48 hours in the

frigid mountains of Bulgaria

Brendan's primitive survival rating

plummets from 6.0 to 2.7 there was a

thousand times harder then I thought it

was going to be I'll be a tall group for

Eugene seriously I hope you make a

kick-ass

[Music]

my partner just tapped out I tried to

say what I could but if you don't want

to be here you know get out of the way I

guess you just have to tap into this

whole other level of being that I think

he got nowhere near I don't want to come

off as like insensitive him but dude

you're leaving me stranded it's hard to

sugarcoat it so

[Music]

see ya what's his name I don't know just

gonna bring everything up first I know

that I need a shelter at some point but

in Guyana I had a pretty awesome shelter

but I always ended up directly next to

the fire every single night so I'm going

to kind of make my own little nest what

I'm gonna do is make some walls and then

fill it with grass and padding it'll

kind of be my mattress without a partner

I just to stay warm from my own body

heat so I'm thinking with lots of

padding hopefully I'll be nice and warm

tonight I completed 14 I'm here for 21

but you know I've got my game face I

know that I can do this role I'm

fiercely independent I can do anything

on my own I know what it's like to be

alone you know a lot of females finish

this on their own

that Sooners that's what initially

inspired me to do this

[Music]

hell yeah nine three sweet got fire

[Music]

I really hope those are holes

[Music]

is the start of day four I'm a little

chilly but I have a good fire had a

mattress that I slept on but I was still

getting cold because without a partner

one side you're warm the other side of

your body does get cold Jen is burning

400 calories per hour shivering a night

rapidly depleting her body's energy

reserves I'm already feeling it my

stomach kind of grumbly that I'm gonna

need some food

here's Brandon's trap he started it and

didn't finish it but there's not one

fish in sight

[Music]

I'm gonna sing what kind of trees are

around oh here's some dog rose

these are everywhere native to North

Africa and Europe dog rose berries are

high in vitamin C and are often used to

treat the common cold

I might make my own dog rose tea and try

and get some vitamins and minerals in me

and just some flavor oh yeah

[Music]

hmm the flavors really good they're good

after they're boiled mm-hmm luckily I

don't feel too hungry it did eat a lot

of pizza before I left so I think that

helped so right now my body is eating

its own pizza which is kind of lovely to

think about pizza so grant so that's

probably why I'm doing fine to be honest

this guy is really pretty tonight

I won't on daylight forever and I want

it to stay this temperature

[Music]

since I have so many rocks and they get

very warm I've put two in my bag and I

think I'm just gonna kind of set my bag

on my feet lay on them you know put them

on top of me and we'll see if this helps

through the night

[Music]

Oh

I'm trying to heat my body in so many

ways you know I don't have a partner

anymore

[Music]

sleeping

[Music]

so last night sucked that's probably the

coldest it's been burnt some of my bed

I'm like good and I'm not gonna lie the

cold rainy nights in Guyana gave me PTSD

for a while after that challenge and I

came out here knowing that it was gonna

be cold but when you don't have someone

to take turns doing the fire it's like

no sleep at all my body's not handling

this so I mean I could make a shelter

that's more enclosed that keeps the fire

heat in but I just don't feel like I

have the energy to put in it I wish I

had a partner still here who could like

help make the shelter but I don't wanna

like give up I'm making some

modifications on my camp tonight I'm

going to build a trench fire on one side

of my bed so I have two fires along both

sides of me and I'm hoping that having

fires on both sides will help me out

building an elongated fire on one side

and her fire pit on the other will allow

the heat to reach more of Jenn's body

while the trenches should protect the

flames from the wind running out of wood

isn't really an option out here

hoping this new fire pit works and we'll

be good to go

oh that's far too small I know my bed

we're already starting the forest on

fire I'm hoping that I can contain it

through the night and that I don't catch

anything else on fire like this whole

meadow gonna be toast I made it through

the night

much warmer slept a ton more had to put

out a couple early forest fires minor

but yeah this was definitely my best

night here I'm feeling a little weak I

could definitely use some food getting

cold and shivering takes up a lot of

energy I would love to trade out one of

my survival items for a jar of peanut

butter if I make a spear I'll have a

good shot at getting some fish

[Music]

I just want to eat food I'm definitely

moving a little slow I feel dizzy

and almost all over my legs just buckled

out all these things are incredibly

challenging it's hard out here it's just

hard to get through there's some fish

over there it's a huge fish might be a

ton of trial and error

oh they're so fast fishings really hard

well just found some medals I've been

told they taste like spinach so this I

have to be careful of because it's

pretty icky not exactly sure how to get

these off the Nettles burn when you

touch them and then it'll leave kind of

a reaction on your skin and you'll keep

itching for a while but if you just cut

off the leaves you can boil them in

water and make a tea or soup or eat them

see I'm already already here

[Music]

oh I think I'm just gonna put this all

in there like like it's spinach and let

it boil down some gold for it

[Music]

just gonna try one I don't know it's not

back and then it's not bad it was a

little cold there last night

still stoking the fire even though the

Sun's up it's all I can do

smoke is my least favorite thing to

inhale

[Music]

the whole thing's gonna go

everything caught fire I was able to put

it out using a rock and a stick but like

I could have been right in the middle of

that

I just wanna go home

see a big fire hello

only God

[Music]

the whole thing's gonna go

[Music]

see a big fire hello

oh my god there's someone here hey how's

it going what's going on I've been here

for a bit

did you just get here yes cool what's

your name Brandon Brandon oh my god

Brandon I had another partner his name

was Brandon this is not surprised and

just thrown off I feel really bad for

her than she needs help I'm just glad

I'm here now to make it easier for and

where are you from Arkansas oh my god he

gave up after 48 hours you will be the

better one I've been let down by a

couple too many Southern gentleman so

hopefully the third one's the charm this

is my second oh really my first

challenge I was down in Mexico on a

small island oh my god I made 14 days on

my first 21 adventure so was it man

Tapper did you know I chose I've been

trying to get back out for a redemption

after Jen's first partner quit the

challenge Brendan was given another shot

to redeem himself the deserve another

shot every dish I tapped on day 14 my

first time and down in Mexico it's we're

running for four days straight I'm

failing out I've never put my body up

there anything like this before I

thought I would be able to handle it

yeah how long have we tapped together

because mentally and physically I was

just beat down at that point

I regretted that decision

moment I stepped in that boat I remember

just looking off and just thinking to

myself what did I do

I can't believe I just quit I gotta

write that wrong I have to I have to

make it since then I have made it my

mission to become a better survivalist

my hunting skills have dramatically

increased and I can fish really good I

know what to expect mentally and

physically I would never leave a partner

behind we start something we will finish

it I will not will not let y'all down it

says to be careful what I wish for

Brendan's experience dealing with

hypothermia in Mexico should give him

the knowledge and mental preparedness to

deal with the cold in Bulgaria in real

unchanged from the day he tapped out his

primitive survival rating remains at 6.1

I'm worried that he taps before us but I

know that he's coming in to prove

something so I'm hoping that he brought

his game face what's your background so

I've completed the 14-day fan challenge

my partner in that challenge also left

after 48 hours the fact that every

partner djinns had so far is tapped out

I don't get that I don't understand why

but I'll break that curse do you have an

item oh yeah I do have an atom I have

cool hair core nice I got a bunch of it

so yeah link build their shelter okay

you burn it down before I got to move in

this is my home it's now on fire

surprise you single-handedly destroyed

Bulgaria great if I did that that could

have been bad so you're just gonna sleep

in out there yeah I'll be out in the

open so this is my living room I have

two fireplaces and a skylight I'm sure

that caught him off-guard and wonder

what do you think's in me but here I am

this is what you get so we're gonna have

to do something different we can take

this and you know with paracord you can

use it to build my shelter but I think

will be our

it's not I think with a few changes this

could actually be a really really nice

spot we'll get it done yeah totally

there's probably like 45 minutes so it's

it sorry okay we should gather firewood

okay for now I guess we just ride this

out

[Music]

my god what a game change you have a day

[Music]

first I wouldn't have that

firstly I was solving got a new eye on

the prize mm-hmm I have such a new

energy with Brandon here I feel way

better just like a new person

today shelters priority today and that's

gonna block the wind so what I was

thinking was taken to decent size logs

and I liked his energy and his focus is

readiness this is what I've always

wanted is a partner here to work

together with and to conquer this way

all those skin treatments search along

the river yes that would be great I

gotta find the right wood around here

you got to work with what you got to

work with so yeah what the hell is that

smoke

[Music]

oh my god that looks like that's at our

camp oh my God we're gonna make a

shelter

over the last eight days Jen has faced

the loss of her partner battled the

fierce bulgarian coal and fought

multiple brush fires then a surprise on

day seven is someone here a former naked

and afraid' survivalist who abandoned

his first challenge on day 14

was brought in to redeem himself and

help Jen complete her 21 days welcome to

my home

no the new pair of survivalists are

searching the river area for building

materials oh my god that looks like

that's better can

[Music]

holy there's fire everywhere do we do

now oh my god we have to put this out

yeah coming huge oh my god some of the

beats yeah

[Music]

oh here's the satellite you guys we

gotta stop this one before it hits the

street help me this tree goes up this

one I'm worried about this is gonna go

up

[Applause]

our fire was out there was nothing it

just spread so fast

nothing we saw it it was contained it

was like reasonable and it just blew up

States who for me I just got here so we

have to leave now to get across the

river

well I'm Brandon let's just get across

the river

[Music]

thank you what is a felony

[Music]

it's taken about two hours but the crew

has been able to contain the fire but

everything is still very hot and

smoldering lectures all the things it

mr. Rotter democratically dynamic atomic

action toward Emeco degree which goes

below

[Music]

looks like the fires out yeah let's see

what's left there's anything left at all

Wow

the fire is no longer a threat but the

meadow where they set up camp has been

charred across an area the size of a

football field it looks completely

different

or just scorched polute leader thank god

the fire does not deter me at all from

completing the challenge set us back a

little bit but it's nothing we can't get

past still got 19 more days to go

I mean it can't get much worse than what

it's already been what do you see over

there maybe we can move our shelter back

in here

Brian we already have some natural shade

yeah this happened because the wind just

came through and sparked it up real

quick and it caught all the grass on

fire so now I'm thinking spy safe

[Music]

I can move our fires and our rocks over

here we have a little bit more wind

breakage the new plan is to move our

shelter out of the open area hopefully

we'll be safer now that everything's

basically burned we're just gonna

rebuild our home add some walls and

contain everything a little better we

need to get up at least one wall before

we go to bed chopping the wood it takes

a lot of physical exertion out of you

[Music]

Brandon is awesome for cutting the wood

that was really helpful we had some good

teamwork with our shelter see how I got

this like this do the same thing on the

other side it's nice we have paracord

mm-hmm

then all we have to do is stack them on

top of

and I like this it feels cozy and like

more enclosed and you starting your

tires is an exciting day we've got our

cute little shelter going on looks good

dude check out this view it's beautiful

we're trying to stay alive so push

through we're here yeah while Gary has

been a unique experience and definitely

one we're always gonna remember

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you're on day nine it's only day three

for me so

dude this partner is stuck around the

longest side of anyone so that's pretty

awesome beat two two guys already yeah

yep I've never had a partner last this

far into the challenge with me

so having Brandon here has been really

nice just for my sanity he's got my back

and we can split the tasks and get

things done together I'm really thinking

about food quite a bit it's getting

tough getting a little skinny

[Music]

I still feel strong check this check out

this pipe how are you on food I've got a

supply of fat I can live off for days

yeah I'm more worried about you

oh wait

ho oh yeah so I just found a blackberry

tree but if they're red they're not ripe

yet and these are all primarily red

they're red but I don't care oh yeah not

very right whatever I don't care what

you think better none this is what I

live for

[Music]

it's crazy how many leaves are already

falling you see the trees are starting

to turn yeah it's not summer anymore and

we're feeling it the knots are getting

colder the days are getting shorter wish

it didn't get as cold at night you can

feel the temperature changing you know

it's fall right now and everything's

just getting colder every day

[Music]

I gotta get ready for the night again

[Music]

it's only my day three and I'm very

tired already I got really got a pace

myself I don't want to just jump full

head and wear myself out too quick so

I'm just gathering wood and hearing tons

of logs up the hill out this guy means

business this is a workout this

challenge

you're always tackling something because

if you don't you're gonna fall behind

you have to gather firewood you have to

boil water there's always something to

improve your situation or you're just

gonna start to struggle even more brain

is tired

I mean the first few days I was here I

slept a lot so I think he's resting

quite a bit

I'm impressed you can fall asleep this

anything that's the gold silver leaf is

know we'll be up later here's the wood

we have for tonight so far every time I

gather wood I still think it's not

enough nights freaking me out and so I'm

hoping tonight's good

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I can't feel my feet oh if you stand up

you immediately kind of buckle over

there's a lot of smoke you're inhaling

you're freezing just trying to stay warm

it's top

[Music]

I snot was cold coldest night so far

that I've been through out here I don't

think I slept at all last week

good night I shiver like crazy so I'm

shake and this guy warms me up is I here

she doesn't like shiver when she like

convulses like it's just it's unsettling

so then I just take these arms hold her

in and she warms back up I'm thankful

for him very much we made it through it

I'm not gonna let her get cold if I can

fix that I'll fix it she needs this so I

got her back

I'm still not been hit by hunger yet but

Jim's energy level is pretty low right

now I feel really bad for we're just

gonna have to figure out a way to get

her more protein and more food energy in

her one of the keys to making a really

good spirit of fish with is you don't

want just one point you want it to have

multiple points so right now I'm

splitting the wood to give it more

pretty much just you know more surface

area fish would be awesome fish would be

awesome it'll be a big boost I just want

to find another blackberry tree man

moving like a sloth

I'm very little energy I mean my

circulations over the past 10 days jen

has been burning over 4,000 calories per

night shivering she's losing more than a

pound per day because of the cold

her body is also reducing blood flow to

her extremities to help keep her vital

organs warm my feet are numb through the

entire night and into part of the

morning and that's not normal so I get

worried physically because I don't know

what I'm actually doing to my body

[Music]

oh I see a bunch of fish I'm just trying

to stay still enough to see how close I

can get the fish to me and see what I'm

trying to do is push them up in the

shallow water get them up in the

shallows trout right

[Music]

oh my god more blackberry

[Music]

this is what I'm living off them for 21

days even though they don't seem

completely ripe there's still a decent

flavor and some nutrients in them one

blackberry provides barely three

calories to stop losing weight Jen would

have to consume more than 1,300 of them

a day excuse me

how's it going it's going

trying to spear some fish yeah wow

there's some big fish here yeah I'm

about to catch something

[Music]

nope I was close but I'm gonna have to

try something different

spearing I feel like you'd have to be

really quick have incredible aim and a

very sharp spear ya know I like to think

of myself as professional right there's

the trap that Brandon started is that

what that thing is do you think you

could look at it and see like if you

could modify it yeah hey we're just

trying to like a little entrance and a

funnel so they'll come up in that area

and then not be able to come back out

realistically you would want it like an

eel mand have the opening in the middle

of the hill I think that were just like

boost everything's like oh my god we got

a fish then huh

Brandon's gonna finish what Brandon

started some of my strengths in survival

are I like to think myself as being

pretty clever and adaptive I believe

these fish will rested I come back in

the morning

see what I got in here I know that

Brandon has some ideas on like traps and

fishing which I don't and we'll see what

else we can come up with I just just

want to eat something there's a lot of

metals right here

I need nutrients I'm gonna try the

nettles one more time

oh these are so spiky Oh Nettles

my fingers are stinging right now once

these boiled down though they'll be good

for you I'm gonna throw these in that

should be a good amount actually that's

a time boil that up with some dog rows

just to give it an additional flavor

honestly I really want some real food

like I'm gonna make some nettle soup do

I really want a nettle soup do you

really want nettle soup all right here

we go soup you know I just know on

little berries and boil things up and

call them tea and soup fishings really

hard and it's hard out here this is this

is what the challenge is it's just hard

to get through I might cry after Brandon

comes up a bitch any luck no not close I

got some pretty soup on the fire I'm

supposed to eat the leaves you can't eat

the leaves no dark it gets and a you got

dark I'm hungry so you can still see the

little spikes on there though I wonder

if they're supposed to boil offer down a

little warm oh here I'll eat it how much

no my first time having middle

[Music]

I've been told they're like spinach and

they weren't that great but I ate them

anyway my paper

tastes like paper no it doesn't taste

like spit oh I mean it dissolves as soon

as I win my mouth it was it Tate to me

it tasted like wet old paper you like

paper

apparently paper hot wealthy paper I'll

take any bite of food that I can get his

her nasty I need something do not care

for the nettle soup

hopefully fish tomorrow I really want a

fish I really want one of those fishes

[Music]

to be honest Brandon sleeping quite a

bit like five to eight I want to work

those entire three hours and he's

typically snoozing early by then and

that's a little challenging because I

feel tired in the last two nights I've

gotten almost all the firewood winding

down early I'm a firm believer in sleep

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

last night was the worst night we've had

so far I hurt your bones cold I'm still

trying to finish you the are bundled up

with a hot rock you know my body this

the long sleepless nights huddling in

the cold are affecting Jim's cognitive

abilities and the constant shivering is

also damaging her muscle tissue causing

her increasing pain tired

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

he feels like forever that we've been

out there I'm so hungry

I'll be fine

June did not take that's not very well

she's not holding up my man she has

nothing to lose no weight to lose it's

just like it's consuming her soul we got

this we got it okay I'm gonna do what I

have to do to be a team player with her

I just got to keep reminding myself why

I'm here as its that will to finish and

that's what I have now I'm gonna go

check the fish trap if it just being a

big boost if I could get her one fish

I'm trying to be a great partner

this challenge it feels way harder than

Guyana I feel dizzy and I'm just not

exactly sure how to move forward I don't

think that traps gonna work but you know

what as long as one of us can stay

positive and focus it will drive the

other month hey how about if I caught us

something to eat with that boost your

morale a little bit so getting us a meal

for the mouth we be mild Bulgarian thank

God that crab showed up I couldn't let

him go

[Music]

I can't let somebody have because I did

that and I know what that feels like you

it's all yours right now something real

Wow oh my god it's a small portion of

food but anything helps

thank you so much

that game changers I will continue to

push me and find ways the motivation to

do is I'm not quitting on you're the

best partner I've ever had the weather

here is definitely changing not for the

best with how cold it's been getting

every night I say we just stack the

rocks up make like brick walls yeah use

the mud as more so I'm just gonna start

pretty much right here Jen and Brendan

are building a short stone enclosure

around their shelter using mud and rocks

to create a barrier against the wind

[Music]

great wall I'm gonna start on these

rocks once we get this taken care of

we'll get some sleep we will it will fix

one of the biggest problems we have out

here the elements the temperature my job

right now is making mud Bulgarian

concrete maybe you just plop it what's

great about this is that the fire will

actually draw it out and the root fibers

and all the grass that's in this will

help seal it in together even better

feeling better just slow but better it's

hard like I'm badass shelters like a

castle

literally the castle with stone walls

and all oh man

Suns just going down a little

[Music]

you think that's enough we should have

enough stones for right now it should

there's something should hold a little

bit of idiot I'm gonna go gather a bunch

of firewood okay that'll burn a while

I think Brandon's got his game face on

I'm thankful for my partner nice piece

of wood I really want to sleep tonight I

haven't slept in two nights so nuts

gotta be better than what's not it's

gotta be this is really really windy

it's cold the walls aren't really

helping me

Oh

Jen's body already stripped of that

reserves and Lowe and muscle is further

reducing the flow of blood to her

extremities to keep her vital organs

warm and prevent them from shutting down

and the dipping temperatures are causing

her muscles to continually contract to

retain heat causing her increasing pain

[Music]

you okay cuz you just had to move your

own arm with your other arm should I get

a I'm like rocks anymore like my body is

just failing through the night and I

just feel like I can't even stand up the

other day

I feel like I'm continuously breaking

down and just not seeing that up even

when we eat small bites of food I don't

even feel better like I wanted to come

out here and like top my last challenge

but there's so much different like

they're incomparable

[Music]

like my body does it's my body and I

have to acknowledge that I thought I

could do 21 but just any day just don't

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hi Brendan I've been there I know that

feeling I know what it's like and it was

like watching myself again the night's

got me like I just get goosebumps from

being up here naked in the cold I never

thought that I would be the one leaving

my partner but if this is the end for me

after 13 days in the Balkan Mountains

including four days all alone

Jan's fight with the chilling Knights

ends in defeat despite a strong mental

attitude and a determined spirit her

primitive survival rating drops from a

six point four to a five point six

Bulgaria's of east inugami

so looks like I'm gonna be on my own

13 days by myself this is definitely a

harder challenge in my first made even

more so now that I'm alone I need to get

firewood every day about myself then if

not I need to keep the fire going by

myself also a little daunting you know

it wasn't prepared for that but I can do

because I don't have a choice now wish

we had burned everything down I'd like

to have some greener stuff closer I came

into this challenge with one goal and

that goal was to get my Redemption and

get my 20 more there is no quit there's

no tapping I got this just to nothing

[Music]

it's night I'm by myself it's freakin

getting colder gotta be a special person

to want to do this you got to be a

special person I mean keep hearing stuff

keep hearing something move along what's

[Music]

[Applause]

scary

we're really loving our dirty looks

I'll do the book no it's pretty great

I'm a natural blonde the facial didn't

know I joke this is when I fill in my

eyebrows the most I've I don't have a

one-hour oh wow do I have eyebrows right

now I have one yet your unibrow is

insane and you got rid of your unibrow

yeah I love our dirty chastening it

looks cool me too

[Music]

it first not out here long sucked

they ate just really really windy it's

cloudy today I have a feeling I'm gonna

have brightening my first time and down

to Mexico I tapped on day 14 because the

storm hidden in them hypothermia we have

to keep them warm because the

temperatures get too low and I need to

go to the hospital and get treatment I

knew after I tapped that I could have

finished all I had to do was just just

write out this form a little bit longer

that's what i'ma do just I'm gonna be

prepared stay prepared stay ready

that is a cold breeze a lot of work

today on the shelter walls closing this

whole area so front end I'm gonna use

the main part of the trees for firewood

the branches I can pretty much just

weave them in and out of the holes and

place them where I need them be it's

starting to rain so I need to get as

much these gaps filled in as possible

right now so I'm just looking for

branches with a lot of leaves on with

the temperature already in the 50s even

mild sporadic rain puts Brendan at risk

of hypothermia if his core body

temperature doesn't remain above 95

degrees he could become hypothermic in

less than an hour the only thing that

you can do to keep dries keep piling and

piling more and more on and get more

layers on and make it harder for the

Rhine region

[Music]

oh that rain is cold she left because

she knew this was coming that's pretty

selfish of her not to tell me or give me

a heads up I'm not gonna miss hello my

girl I came here with a mission and a

purpose and that's what I'm gonna do

gotta get those walls done

more rocks in place hope the Sun comes

out get situated

[Music]

this is definitely a harder challenge

than my person I am a little worried

about my firewood getting wet

[Applause]

unbelievably cold this is all I got

going on everything

the water is so cold that rain is

freezing I cannot let this go out

it's barely

can you pull my leg if you have to do

you think Bulova here's my fires breath

away

I'll run the risk freezing to death we

go on half that's half for the first

time because the storm hidden was

freezing I don't want to have to go to

that you

I just want to go home

[Music]

I had made it my life's mission after my

first challenge to get back on her get a

Redemption

but now I've never been that cold I mean

this this cold hurt all the way down to

my bones and I was not expecting it to

be like this I was not expecting it to

kick my ass as fast as hard as it did

you wanna go yeah I am for sure for sure

[Applause]

Brendan's desire to finally complete all

21 days of the challenge cannot push him

through the near freezing nights after

nine days in the woods of Bulgaria he

chooses to abandon the challenge for the

second time the exit sir simcha lay 11

pounds lighter and his PSR plummets from

a six point one to a three point two

both Mexico and Bulgaria did break I

said it a thousand times I want my 21

but just not in the cards for me I don't

have what it takes to make it 21 days

so I tapped again I tried to try no

redemption no more second chances it's

none of this I am officially wiping my

hands clean and making afraid and

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

we're constantly moving three miles a

day at least

[Music]

this son is just killer it's sucking the

life out of me

[Music]

don't the cat track yeah

prints everywhere

[Music]

holy lion

and buying

oh my god

feel like I'm gonna get eaten by a lion
