Previously on "naked and afraid xl,"

six days into the 40-day banishment challenge...

I'm so thirsty.

...South africa's relentless heat

and deadly predators...

- Hey! Get! - Get!

...Turned up the pressure

on the remaining survivalists.

Especially the team of makani, bulent, and kate...

Kani, you're not hearing me, man!

...Where conflicting survival styles...

Oh, my god!

...Pushed kate's mental resolve to the brink...

You're an arrogant.

...And led to a drastic decision.

I'm self-banishing myself.

And she's leaving. That's fine.

The problem with kate is her mental toughness isn't good.

I don't think she'll make it.

- I'm done with them. - I'm done.

Now, with 34 days left

in a land where compassion goes to die...

You're not even giving me a strawful?

...And exile is the ancient law of the land.

The sarwa people lived here, and they cast out the weak.

Can they harness their skills...

- Yeah, buddy! - ...To prove their worth?

- Yeah! - Attaboy!

With my bare hands!

Aaah!

...Or will they be cast into the wild?

Tomorrow morning, we would like to see you go.

We're gonna banish you.

...To fend for themselves.

This is a death sentence, to be alone out here.

- There's something over there. - Oh,

it's getting closer.

Aah! Aah!

Oh,

Since I can't banish makani and bulent,

I self-banished myself.

I don't want to worry about holding makani's hand

for the rest of the time.

And bulent... all he does is sleep and snore.

Like, if you're not doing anything

that's gonna benefit me,

I'm not gonna do anything that's gonna benefit you.

I'd rather just go on my own.

To reach the nearest water source,

kate must head 4 miles southwest

across the sun-scorched valley.

Her journey will take her through open hunting grounds

as she follows the same game trails

as the lions and leopards.

Being alone out here, it's not easy.

Like, africa is a very harsh environment.

It's pretty dangerous 'cause of all the wildlife around me.

I have to figure out how to set up my own camp

and get everything by myself.

Like, that's a lot for one person to do.

Just need to get to water.

Kate self-banish herself,

so I know we won't have a headache.

You know, her problem is not being able to work with people

and understand people.

All she brought was negativity.

And I don't take from people like kate.

I'm a buddhist.

Doing yoga and meditation is a part of my practice.

It's my place of peace, no matter where I go.

What in the are you doing, woman?

Oh, she's doing yoga.

My partner does yoga in the wild.

Normally, I would just look at that person

and say, "are you done?"

but at least she's trying to do yoga

to keep her mind straight.

You got to respect that.

As long as you keep your mind-set positive,

you'll be alright.

And me and makani, at least we have that understanding.

I mean, compared to kate,

she's 10 times the partner kate can ever be.

Alright, let's go.

It is so muddy you can't see anything.

You have no idea where they are.

Whoa!

They feel you come, and they move.

Come on. Come in here.

Oh! You scared me again.

Every time I move the stick, they just move out of the way.

They're just with me.

Ugh!

I'm done.

The fish.

We might have to change the strategy for this one.

3 miles to the south,

seth's productivity

has withered in the heat...

Whatever's going on with seth,

that's a problem.

...And now puts his team's success at risk.

Hey, seth.

How goes it?

I'm in rough shape right now.

You don't drink water, you're gonna dehydrate.

Can you get more water in you?

I would like to try fishing.

Do you think you can help?

Need to cool off.

I am very concerned

that we have all these tasks to do

that he's not able to help.

But I don't want to just banish seth,

because then I'm alone.

And being alone in africa is exceedingly difficult.

Just gonna set this up.

Okay.

Let me just get back and check on seth.

Being in this water right now

is very refreshing.

This is the most comfortable spot in south africa.

It's nice. It's worth a try.

Well, I would, but I just hate

having the leeches up in me.

My body parts are different, you know?

The last thing I want is that.

I hope that seth has

cooled down his body well enough.

Ugh!

I'm gonna try to help him not overexert

and not do too much.

But I do want this to be a partnership

and not just me taking care of seth.

Suzanne? What?

I'm covered in leeches.

Oh, man.

Many of africa's muddy water holes

are home to legions of tiny freshwater leeches,

which grow to only 30 millimeters in size,

but can burrow under the skin of its host,

introducing serious infection into the bloodstream.

I'm gonna need you to check my back and stuff for me,

if you would, please. Okay.

Here, hold still.

Turn your... Just turn your head.

There you go. Hold still.

Well, don't put... You're in my eyesight with that.

Sorry.

Okay, can you look up? Look up for me.

A little bit this other side.

Oh! Okay.

You really didn't have that many on you.

I am in a tough situation right now.

I'm a survivalist,

and I'm doing a really difficult challenge,

and my partner has caused me to slip into the mom role.

Water?

No, you don't want water?

Mm-hmm.

No, you don't want water?

Or no, you don't want water?

I can't keep checking on him

and survive out here in africa at the same time.

That is very hot.

Oh, a potential water source!

Nice.

So, I need to figure out where I'm gonna build a boma.

So, there's algae growing in this pond.

I think that's good.

Algae is life.

Don't know if I want to be too close to the water, though.

I'm still in africa,

so animals can come from all directions.

So I do want to...

I guess, go to a high point up there

and just look around.

Let's see what's up over here.

Hmm.

I just don't see a lot of shade.

This is a graveyard, right here.

Something very big died there,

and there's a lot of bones.

Bones mean there's hungry lions out there.

I definitely need a boma.

Check out this tree.

I think this could work. It's shaded.

So that's what I need, because it's pretty open here.

So I think I'm gonna call this home for now.

I just got to get to work.

Because I am alone, that means a little bit more work,

which is fine.

I think it would be good to just go at my own pace

and not have to worry about

bulent and makani dragging me down.

Kind of like getting rid of extra baggage.

More wood.

Oh,

I got to get out of the sun for a second.

I need to get motivated, but it's so hot out.

I thought I'd be better at making this stuff by myself,

but it's not easy.

3 miles to the north,

the veteran team of wes and gwen

were the first to banish a teammate.

We're not bringing along any dead weight.

You good? Good.

But their attempts to secure protein

have yet to pay off.

Sorry ass.

I haven't eaten in four days now.

And it's starting to irritate me.

- Elephant track, it looks like. - Good god.

And herds of elephants remain a constant threat.

Look at all this elephant.

It's their bathroom. Yeah.

Literally. Look at this.

It's everywhere.

We're super hungry.

We are hoping for some protein today, man.

We need a meal, badly.

I feel incredibly responsible for providing food.

Me and gwen haven't done a real good job at it.

So that's got to improve. It's got to turn around quickly.

My frustration is about at its limit right now.

Unreal.

That should've been done, washed up, finished.

I cannot believe that that happened.

Like, I totally smacked him, and he flew off,

and he's hanging out in a tree somewhere.

I got feathers all over the freakin' place

where I hit this thing... Tons of feathers.

Tons of them.

He exploded feathers and flew away.

When you miss a shot and now not only you don't eat,

but your partner doesn't eat,

oh, it is absolutely heartbreaking.

Totally hit that thing.

That's frustrating.

Yeah, 'cause we would've been freaking eating tonight.

Like, meat. Yeah.

Poultry.

It's very demotivating to shoot and shoot and miss.

The pressure is on with,

if we don't get a kill rather soon,

we're not gonna last too much longer here.

An elephant right there. Where?

There, in the trees.

And there's another one behind him.

Holy crap.

Can you believe how close they are?

He's definitely watching us.

Holy crap.

Man, they are really, really angry.

They're coming right toward us.

Holy crap. Don't move, don't move.

Holy crap.

Man, they are really, really angry.

They're coming right toward us.

Holy crap. Don't move, don't move.

They're going around.

For now.

Unbelievable.

Very cool, and a little frightening.

Like, when he turns and looks at you,

you have that "oh, crap" moment, you know?

Let's just fire up our fire

and get some smoke in the air

just to reinforce that we're still here.

We threw elephant dung on there

to see if it would scare them.

Be like, we're gonna burn your

I want them to get out of here.

2 miles to the south,

ryan, jon, and sarah live in fear

as a ravenous population of man-eating crocodiles...

Oof.

...Force them to abandon fishing

You suck.

...For alternate sources of protein.

What?! I got a bird.

Yay!

Even though it's not much, it's still something.

Mm-hmm.

Damn.

We have the crocodiles literally right down there.

That's some really intense predatory action

going on over there.

I want to walk over here. I know there's no crocs right here,

where those rocks are. It's real shallow.

Because of the croc situation,

it really makes me nervous even going near the water.

But we are very hungry out here.

Look at this.

Clams.

They're just barely buried.

Food source.

Got two in a row.

See, right there, that's a good handful.

Good handful.

Incredible.

This is survival, bitches.

Pure mouthful of energy.

How's your stomach feeling?

The fact that we haven't eaten definitely starting to hit me.

Because of the heat,

I'm getting dizzy when I'm walking.

While we still have a little bit of energy,

we need to use it to get something that's gonna

give us more energy.

We have to get some kind of a fish.

I just don't want to eat meat, considering

I haven't had meat in like 14 years.

You're gonna have to do things in life

that you don't like. I know.

I've never, ever wanted fish before.

But, you know, the leaves don't seem to be working.

I was planning to be vegan for this challenge.

It's like a spiritual thing for me,

and just respect of life.

But I realize that this isn't feasible long-term.

This is an extraordinary situation.

And the leaves don't provide

as much energy as I need to survive.

And I want to give myself the best shot.

So, need to catch a fish sooner than later.

We're gonna have to find some kind of meat...

Okay... For these damn fish.

Alright.

We have two fishing hooks,

but so far, we have no viable bait

for the catfish.

Bait, bait, bait. I haven't even seen one snail.

If we catch something that we can use as a bait,

that'll be great. If not, we're gonna have to

get creative to find a way to catch a fish.

And if we can find live meat, that'd be better.

You can always volunteer

to sacrifice your pinkie for the team.

Mnh-mnh.

Or, like, a pinkie toe.

No, thank you. Okay.

It's getting frustrating.

You know you have a food source, and somehow you can't get it.

What about noodling then?

Say what?

Noodling. Like, putting your arm out

so they try and take it.

You serious?

You have no idea where they are.

Might work.

Whatever you want to do, that's your freaking deal.

I got to lay down. I'm getting dizzy.

I don't know if it's dehydration.

I just don't got no energy.

You can stay.

Alright. Got this.

I'm gonna try noodling, using my fingers as bait,

and hoping the fish will go for it.

I can just, like, pull a fish out of there.

I have never been noodling before.

I hear some people in the south do it for fun,

which blows my mind.

Aah!

I think, honestly, the main problem

that I'm facing is that I'm afraid of catfish.

Holy

when I touch one or feel one,

it's just like a type of feeling.

So that doesn't help.

Oh, my god. Okay.

Whew! Okay.

Damn.

I can't do that.

I just feel

so physically depleted.

It's concerning that the water is

not helping seth feel better,

and I think he needs some protein.

Going to check the lines that are in the water.

Hopefully, something's on it.

I don't feel any tugging on the line or anything.

There's nothing fighting back.

Maybe it's a fish.

Holy crap.

Oh, my god. Got to love that.

Sick! That is sick.

So sorry, dude.

I got to eat you.

Oh, I'm so happy.

Ah, yes! Yes!

Yay!

We have some terrapin. What's a terrapin?

Turtle. Terrapin.

Holy

so I'll clean this and harvest it

and just put it in a pot.

You rock! Thank you.

Holy crap. We're gonna eat.

I'm so thankful to be able to have

a meal today.

We needed this so bad.

I'm in awe right now. Yeah.

Ugh!

So thirsty.

I'm in my last couple hours of daylight.

I know I have a lot to do, get this boma done,

but it's really hot out there in the sun.

Oww! Hot, hot!

Every step is draining.

I need to get water first.

Whew, it's hot!

Everything's a workout right now.

I can't wait for it to boil.

Alright.

Ugh! Think I just swallowed algae.

It's thick and chunky and like drinking a loogey.

Oh, god.

It sucks.

I'm hot and just want to drink water, you know?

I thought I'd be able to do this on my own.

And it's just not working.

I can't walk.

The ground is too hot.

There's absolutely no shade

anywhere but underneath this one tree.

I have no energy to get materials to build a boma.

The huge, big change from locations

is really with my head.

It sucks.

It's hard.

I just want to feel like I'm winning.

Don't get discouraged, kate. Don't get discouraged.

Alright.

It's a harsher environment, but there's no people.

You know, it sucks here, but at least it's quiet.

I have the strength to build this boma.

Okay, I need to get this boma done.

I have 30 minutes before the sun goes down.

So I'm just trying to make the best of it.

Africa is a very harsh environment.

It's hot, it's hard, but I just need to adapt and overcome.

Getting there.

- Terrapin soup! - I'm pumped.

We're about to have our first meal here in africa,

and it looks good. I'm hungry.

Yay! So excited!

Cheers. Salud.

Mmm, it's very good.

Has a gamey flavor to it.

Like, between fish and chicken.

What do you think?

Similar to squirrel, kind of.

This does not guarantee 40 days.

It was important for seth to have protein.

So now, hopefully, he can start helping me

do some of the other tasks.

Tastes like protein.

That's what it tastes like.

I could've never asked for a better partner

than suzanne, but I think suzanne might be

kind of looking at me as the bad guy in some sense,

thinking that I'm not working hard enough.

So I have to step up and show her that,

you know, I do have value here.

First night in my new boma, and I'm sitting here by my fire.

My boma is tight. There is nothing getting in.

Got the whole boma to myself!

I'm pretty stoked to be alone.

Oh, man.

I am super, super, super tired,

and I am going to sleep tonight.

- Aah! - Holy

- ooh, is that what that was? - Think so, yeah.

So we just heard what we're pretty certain is

a baboon getting eaten by a bunch of crocs.

- A lot of croc. - Yeah.

Like, an entire feeding frenzy.

Yeah, there's still splashing going on down there.

I got one thing to say about it...

Better him than me. Yeah.

It's crazy, man.

That's what you get for going down by the water at this time.

This is like murder time.

Yeah.

It's like they're just pushing through everything.

Sounds like a bulldozer is going through there.

Hard to sleep when you're surrounded by elephants.

Seth, do you see that?

Right there.

Something's looking at me.

Like, I don't know what that is.

Yet another reason why I have this style knife.

Oh, my god.

That is a mean-looking footprint.

And it's big, too.

Look at that. Wow.

That's a big cat right there.

I've never encountered cat tracks that were that big.

To be where there are big cats that are definitely hunting,

that's danger, danger, danger for sure.

You can see it going that way.

Right towards camp. Yep.

Want to add to the boma?

You want to put that on our list today?

Yeah.

Oh, everything hurts.

Ow! Oh, god.

First night at my new location.

It was hard. It was definitely hard.

My body hurts, I'm sunburnt, thirsty, dehydrated.

I think I've eaten, like, three mopane leaves.

So I know that I'm gonna need protein.

I just want, like, one win.

So I'm gonna shoot something with this bow.

I know I am. I feel it.

Ooh! Whoa.

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave.

Damn it.

It is so hot.

I can't move right now. I am too thirsty.

I'm gonna get some water.

Okay.

Ooh!

Bulent!

I found bait!

Bulent! Yeah?

I have a grasshopper.

So what is your plan with that?

We're gonna put it on the hook.

It is our first live bait,

and it might be our first real chance at catching a fish.

Bulent, could you grab the sticks?

We have to catch one. I'm getting really weak, bulent.

I want to keep it alive, too.

There we go.

Okay. Let's do this.

Come on, guys.

Aah!

Pull it, pull it, pull it, pull it, pull it!

There we go. Oh, my god.

Whoa!

Good job. Oh, my gosh.

And the vegetarian caught the fish.

So, what does that tell to kate?

Suck it!

Oh, it's bleeding.

- Do you have your knife? - You don't need a knife.

Just step on his head.

It's a fish.

We'll take his...

sorry.

What is wrong with you? Whew! Okay.

You haven't even gutted a fish yet,

you're throwing up.

Ugh!

Oh, I can't look.

You serious?

I've never killed anything before.

I see it bleeding, and I start feeling really sick.

I'm just gonna get in the water.

I feel sick.

I know I'm doing something for the team.

But it just felt really bad.

You serious?

She actually got a fish,

but for some odd reason, she couldn't touch it.

Alright, let's get to cooking.

You just chill there. How about that?

Damn vegetarians.

I've killed.

I'm not okay with that.

It's just not who I am or what I stand for.

Oh,

I think that's a rabbit.

It's gonna be okay, little guy.

Oh! Oh, that was close.

I feel ashamed.

I'm buddhist for a reason,

and to kill is something that I don't believe in.

It just feels wrong.

Oh, yeah. He's here.

Sorry, bubba.

Kate, suck it!

I like doing that.

Look what I got!

Oh, my god. I'm gonna throw up again.

And the good news... his stomach is full of vegetables.

You can eat those.

Check this out.

There's a trail that goes up here.

Yeah, sounds like a good idea.

We were out hiking this morning,

looking for food.

The success level on our hunts so far

has been zero as far as kills go.

So I'm hungry, but if we move around or do too much,

we're just burning more calories that we don't have yet.

I know it's a risk. What the hell is that?

Aloe plant.

Mostly known for the medicinal qualities of its oils,

the pulpy leaves of an aloe plant this size

can provide up to 800 calories.

We're gonna eat today.

We were hunting for protein, but that's alright.

We pulled out something.

We've got to fill this hole in here.

We've got like a cat door going on here.

Do you think you can work on adding to the sides

and back of the boma while I get firewood?

Yeah.

We should be in the boma.

Throughout the 40-day banishment challenge,

each team will receive an updated xl rating,

or xlr,

which tracks their progress

and likelihood of success.

Kate's decision to banish herself from camp...

Very hot, midday.

Even the ground is getting super hot.

...Has left her struggling in the african wilderness.

I have no energy, no nothing.

I feel so defeated.

She is given an individual xl rating

of 5.1.

And the teammates she left behind scored

their first significant meal.

What does that tell to kate? Suck it!

But it came at an emotional cost.

I've killed.

I don't like what I'm becoming.

Still, makani and bulent's xlr

rises from a 5.8 to a 6.3

ryan, sarah, and jon have found several alternate food sources.

This is survival, bitches.

But not enough to reach 40 days.

Honestly, there's probably like five calories in each one.

For now, their team xl rating

holds steady at 6.7.

After several near misses... - Ain't that a bitch.

...An aloe plant is a small but welcome food reward

for wes and gwen.

- We're gonna eat today. - We have a nice aloe plant.

Their xlr increases

from 6.4 to 6.6.

And with seth floundering in the african heat...

This water is very refreshing.

...Suzanne provided the team's first food...

Sorry, dude. I got to eat you.

...Increasing their xl rating

from 5.5 to 5.8.

But now a deadly neighbor has come to visit.

Leopard.

We should be in the boma.

If the leopard is out, we should go back in the boma.

I have a weapon, so I'm gonna defend myself if I need to.

Well, why don't we do it in the boma?

That seems like a better place.

I don't want to have a leopard get me this morning.

'cause it's coming closer, so I'm going.

I'm going in the boma, damn it.

Do you want to join me or not?

I think this is a better idea.

Arrow? I don't think that's gonna work.

I am not gonna be out there with a leopard.

Would you not hit me with it, please?

Potentially.

I realize you're scared, but...

Well, there's a leopard!

You can't panic in those situations, though.

Okay, going out there with a bow and arrow is not smart.

It's the only weapon we have.

We have a boma.

Safety is a weapon.

I turn around, I'm like, "let's go to the boma."

and you're coming towards me with a bow and arrow.

I'm like, "no, no, no, the other way.

Back to the boma." it's defense.

It's our only chance if something were to happen.

Then why did you get out of the boma?

There's a leopard out there,

and you're going the wrong direction.

Just stop. Okay? 'cause you're panicking,

and it's causing you to act irrationally.

I'm just gonna forget you said that.

Surf and turf, it is.

You ready?

Just like that?

Would you want it on a platter?

Can you cut it open?

Cut it open? You don't cut it open.

You just pinch it, grab the meat, and go.

Mmm.

That's some good meat.

Mmm.

Ugh!

Oh, man.

Can you put some on a knife for me?

Girl, what is wrong with you?

Here. It's meat.

It's not a lava rock.

She spent all that energy to catch some fish,

and now she doesn't eat it. Given, it's only day seven,

but you don't know how many more meals

you're gonna get for next 33 days.

You don't have to eat it.

But again, you don't have to survive, either.

I feel so sick.

It's almost like, "give me some pity,"

and I don't do pity.

Ugh. Ugh!

I don't know if she knows this is a survival challenge.

This is south africa.

This is not a joy park down the street.

We need to wake up and smell the roses,

'cause there ain't none.

Aloe... It's what's for dinner.

It's our first one, so it made a big difference

and we have an endless supply of it down there.

There's tons of it down there.

So we'll be able to keep going with the aloe.

That's just a tad bit on the bitter side.

Ugh.

The bitterness of aloe

comes from normally trace amounts

of latex in the leaves.

But in some species, the amount can be much more concentrated,

making it extremely toxic.

Tastes like something you'd scrape off a fish tank.

Yeah.

You know what, gwen?

I'm getting that kind of double-vision-type...

Depth perception problem.

I mean, I'm really feeling it, though.

Ah!

Next time on "naked and afraid" xl...

I'm gonna build a paiute deadfall.

I'm pretty much doing all the work.

That's not acceptable.

Do you not want me to be here, is what you're saying?

I'm not happy with his team.

There's all my primitive survival problems

leaving right now. All of them.

Ooh, it just hurts to walk,

it hurts to sit, it hurts to lay down.
