[gagging]

[ryan] oh [bleep]!

[matt] you all right, buddy?

[ryan gagging]

[matt] so, ryan has been having a lot of problems

drinking this water.

And right now, he is not looking good.

[ryan gagging]

to throw up and not be able to hydrate,

that's super, super dangerous.

That'll take you out.

[ryan gagging]

this is an issue.

[ryan] I drank some pretty nasty water

and there's just something in this basin, doesn't sit well with me.

I don't know what it is.

It's like really burning.

It's like the most acidic throw up I've ever had.

Now, I feel a little better.

-Yeah. Everybody feels better when they throw up. -[matt laughs]

[matt] that's good, I guess.

I mean, I felt it, so I just chugged.

[matt] yeah.

It was like in there, I just didn't want to get it out,

- so, I just like... - [matt] yeah.

Four full gulps...

And I was like... Instant.

-[matt] oh man, that's... Yeah, that was... -[rylie] rough.

-[matt] just seconds after you took some drinks. -[rylie] sorry, dude.

[rylie] we're not even a week into the challenge.

Both of my partners are having problems.

Matt has got like a roundworm parasite,

feasting on his twig and berries.

It's called nutria itch.

It's from the feces of the nutria that live in the swamps here.

[rylie] right now, we're not in good shape.

Just wish drinking water wasn't such a [bleep] chore.

[rylie] yeah!

[matt] well, hell. At least you don't have to worry about

a microscopic round worm burrowing into the scrotum.

[ryan] yeah! Yup. For sure.

[matt] I'm still itching some more,

but it's getting better.

I'm on the road to recovery from this nutria itch, I believe.

It now seems as though I just have scabbing

over my nether region.

[ryan] big grey squirrel.

It's coming. It's coming.

The tree that the bow is hanging on,

he's coming down it.

[bleep]

that jump is even closer

[matt] got it!

- [ryan] yay! - [rylie screams excitedly]

-[rylie] oh my god! -[ryan] matt! Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

[ryan] oh matt, you are the man!

- [rylie] oh, yeah! - [ryan] good job, buddy.

[matt] this squirrel is a small meal, but...

You know right now, this is the moment we need, this is the food we need,

and this is a huge morale boost for our camp.

Dinner time.

- This is like a big mac, right here. - Yeah.

[rylie] I love that.

-Let's call him big mac. -Blessed. We got big mac for dinner,

[ryan] and matt's beginning to process the squirrel over here.

We're going to be using one of the arrow tips to skin it.

A little more fine work, fine detail.

So, we're not skinning this small creature with a machete.

- Look at that. -[ryan] oh man, that looks enormous.

[matt] cooked to perfection.

Now, we're talking.

First squirrel I've ever had in my life.

- What? Yeah, buddy! - [matt laughs]

[matt] big old chicken wing, right here.

The grey squirrel was a huge morale booster.

I ate as much as I could of the squirrel meat,

but my mouth was so dry

and I knew if I took a sip of that water,

that everything I ate was going to come back up.

Oh, my god. No seasoning. Nothing. It's beautiful.

[matt] oh, that's fantastic.

A louisiana delicacy is to eat the squirrel and suck at its brain.

It is good.

It tastes like dessert.

[rylie] what?

It's creamy.

The squirrel is delicious

and ryan is just perked up like a little flower.

Like, he is just moving around, happy, no nausea.

I just... I'm so relived.

You know, fingers crossed, things are looking up.

[ryan] squirrel brain...

Is little, but it's for dinner.

[narrator] as matt, rylie and ryan start to rebound in the north,

their fellow legends to the south are on the hunt for a bigger prize.

[max] if I was a gator, I would eat this in a damn heartbeat.

Peace out, flies.

Whoo, look at that.

Lord of the flies here.

[amber] oh, that's going to be perfect...

[max] that's so good.

Oh, goodness. Goodness.

[max] amber caught a catfish yesterday.

So, I'm heading to my gator hook,

I'm about to bait it.

Going to throw the catfish head on there

and we are just praying and hoping that we can get a gator on there.

[amber] gator be on the line. Gator be on the line.

[max] come on, gator.

[amber] will it to happen.

- [max] come on, gator. - [amber] it's going to come.

I think that with max, he feels that he is not the provider

and he can't stand that.

He needs to be the warrior that goes out there and gets food that we need.

These men and their egos,

I have been dealing with it my whole life in the army.

It's not about who can do the best or what.

It's about really just working together.

[max] it's still hanging.

I'm going to rehook this.

[gary] me, max and amber, we got a little bit of a roof over our head.

We need to get more.

And here we go.

Right now, we just have one lean-tube.

But my plan is to add another to make it a-frame,

so we can insulate ourselves from the rain and cold.

Because winter will be here before we know it.

All right.

Doing these challenges

has really expanded and exploded my shelter building techniques.

You know? So, just work on the shelter.

It's what needs to be done right now.

This is survival.

This isn't camping.

This is survival.

[max] should I not leave?

The other stuff on there?

[amber] I would leave it on.

-[max] just leave it all on there? -[amber] sure.

-[amber] the more, the merrier. -[max] yeah, right.

[amber] they have really crappy vision.

If it does snatch it,

it's going to need enough to go under and swallow it.

If it gets resistant, it might let it go.

- Does that make sense? - [max] yeah

I think, that's perfect.

[amber] looking good. Line set.

I'm the master baiter here.

[amber] oh, my god.

[max] keep your eyes open.

Can't be looking too far ahead here.

[amber] got it.

[max] ooh, we got a snake right here, baby.

[amber] let me see.

[max] we are about to eat.

Ah, this is [bleep] dinner, baby!

We are going to bed, honey.

[amber] careful. What kind of snake is it?

[max] it's a water moccasin.

- [amber] where? - [max] right there.

[max] chill out, I got it.

I got it.

[amber] here, let me help you.

The first thing max did was show protection on me.

No, so what you need to do is brace it's head. Just watch.

I'm definitely not one that needs to be protected.

I'm the one that's gonna stand by your side

and be your battle buddy, who you go to war with.

[max] don't get too close.

[amber] I am fine. I am fine. Just stop.

Wait for it. He's going to try to strike.

-[amber] careful. Dude. Careful -[max] I got it. I got it.

Yeah. Dinner, baby.

[amber] right there.

Good job, max. Crushed it.

Water moccasin, baby. Whoo!

Moments like that...

That's the reason why you are out here.

Just the beginning.

[narrator] eight miles north...

Ej, sarah and suzanne

finally have their shelter completed.

And can now turn their attention to protein.

[suzanne] this morning I'm braiding

three strands of our fishing line together.

And then I'll add couple of hooks

to make a little bit of a treble hook and then

use the fishermen's knot to put it on to the line.

And hopefully have us some gator dinner tonight.

I want to contribute

and put my survival skills to use.

But I'm with ej.

You know, I have to really perform.

I have to outperform what I have ever done before here in the swamps.

That's a lot of pressure.

[ej] my team, yeah, we are getting our dynamic together.

Suzanne, she has a lot of great ideas.

She is a big planner,

but she is a talker

and she is opinionated

and she thinks out loud.

Sarah is a bit more quieter than she is,

and I'm a man of action most of the time

and speak when it needs to be said.

Here's another pile.

We are both willing to just

kind of figure out how we are going to operate together.

A lot of this stuff will just work itself out.

And that's awesome looking.

[suzanne] here. About ten feet of line and there's a treble hook.

[ej] yeah, that's a great job.

That is impressive.

Let's get a gator.

[suzanne] let's do it!

[ej] now that the sun's kinda breaking out, periodically,

the water moccasins are gonna be out, looking to get warm.

Eyes peeled.

[sarah] so, where are we going to string it?

We got to find an overhang somewhere.

[ej] I mean, I could dangle it off of this one.

There's one right there.

[sarah] where?

Oh, I see him.

[ej] you know what I'm gonna do is to set that gator-hook

with some of the old dead water moccasin

that was in the belly of the other one, for bait.

[sarah] the digested one?

[ej] yeah.

What I'm going to do...

Is screw them up.

[sarah] oh, I see, you're dangling it from there

and then you're gonna tie it to tree... Okay.

Yes. Good job.

- Let's get a gator. - Let's get a gator.

Gator for the team.

[narrator] ten miles to the east

jeff, steven and lacey are still trying to find their footing

at their second camp location.

When winter comes, the breeze will be a killer.

Yeah, so the more [bleep] we can all stack on that back end

and prevent any kind of breeze coming through...

- [steven] it really helps. - [jeff] yup.

I am sick today.

I spent all night throwing up and puking.

Come on, louisiana. Is that all you've got?

[jeff] my teammates, they're being great teammates.

We are all pitching in together.

We are banding together and we are making it happen,

because we've got to get our shelter put together.

[steven] I'll go get the palms cause...

- and I'll get some more willows. -[steven] yeah.

'cause what we don't use for thatching, we can use it to lay on.

[steven] hmm. As bedding.

You know, everybody gives lacey a bad rep,

but her attitude towards this challenge

is different than any other attitude she's had coming into a challenge.

She wants to cross that finish line on this one

and I want to help her do it.

[jeff] oh, cool. Thank you.

I mean, we are literally knocking out tasks,

left and right.

So I'm feeling good about that.

But there is something definitely not going good...

...Down below the waist.

If you know what I mean.

Hey steven, is your nutsack burning?

Is this a start of a joke?

-[jeff] no, I am genuinely asking... -[steven] no!

[jeff] because my nutsack feels like it's on fire

and has been, the last 12 hours.

[steven] no, I think mine's fine buddy.

[jeff] yours doesn't feel like papier mache.

[steven] no, god, no.

[jeff] wax paper, that's about to crinkle and fall off?

[steven] no, my nutsack has never felt like that.

That's not good.

[lacey] I bet you, it's like a fungus or something.

- Ball fungus? - [steven] yeah.

[jeff] no way.

[narrator] a medic is brought in to treat jeff

for the same parasitic infection that afflicted matt.

[medic] on area, I have heard of nutria itch

from the water.

[jeff] nutria itch?

'cause they go into water and they leave some sort of tick or bacteria.

Like that is a local thing I've heard about.

I caught a glimpse, and it's terrifying really.

It's "ripley's believe it or not" worthy, for sure.

[medic] you can, maybe stay out of the water for at least a while.

- Yeah, I'll do my best. - [medic] yeah.

[lacey] that puts him out of the game.

Well, he can't go in the water now.

Like, he has to stay, you know, as dry as possible in louisiana.

Any kind of ball sack itch named after a nasty rodent...

- [steven] yeah. - That's not good.

This stuff sucks!

But I don't know what tap outs are like.

I have never experienced one and I don't plan to.

[steven] yeah, so I'll go over there and check the gator traps.

[lacey] that's a good idea.

You check and whistle back,

'cause I'd rather you didn't get in the water, unless you had to.

-[steven] yeah. -[lacey] let's hear a whistle though.

[whistles]

[lacey] I'm really glad I plugged my ears.

[jeff] I think we'll hear that.

-[jeff] all right, so that means, gator's on. - Yeah.

[jeff] gator is on. Come quick.

[steven] yeah, if I whistle like that, that means it's gator time.

Steven, he knows that my balls are in jeopardy

and I can't get them wet.

So he is the one taking the trek across the river today.

[steven] for me to check our gator hooks,

I have to cross the tributary

and it really wasn't bothering me.

But knowing that there is this parasite that can infect my manhood...

That's a wakeup call.

That's the most terrifying thing I have found out in the swamp yet.

- [lacey] don't die out there. - [steven] okay.

But what it comes down to is, it's going to be winter.

We're out here for 60 days

and we need an alligator.

[lacey] I am worried, I'm just standing here waiting for him to give me the signal

whether there's a gator on the line.

He's been over there for a really long time.

I am getting worried.

Looks like we got a gator.

The line's pretty taut.

It definitely pulled some slack.

It could be just stuck on a log,

but we're going to find out here in a minute.

Holy [bleep]!

This is [bleep] sliding.

[lacey] I don't know.

I'm going to wait a couple more minutes.

I think it might be time to go after him.

Go look for him.

[loud thrashing]

[steven] holy [bleep]!

[lacey] steven?

[steven] holy [bleep]!

[lacey] steven?

[steven] dammit!

He got away. Looks like, he might have grabbed it.

Drag it down a little bit but...

Yeah, that will make you pucker up when your balls deep in the swamp.

I grew up in the swamp.

I live in florida. I've lived there for over 25 years.

So I know, hooking an alligator isn't like hooking a fish.

Their entire skull is made of bone

and you can't just set a hook.

You have to let them swallow it

and you got to let that hook sit in their gut

and once it in their gut

then you can bring them into shore.

But it was playing with our bait

and never decided to quiet swallow them all the way.

So that was a meal that got away.

We're going to get one.

It's day three.

It's day three that we've had one on.

Steven?

- I think he is... - [steven whistles]

one whistle means no gator.

Major, major, major bummer.

But he whistled, so I know he's alive.

At that point, I was just like, any noise will do.

A gator would have been...

Gator would have awesome.

You know, getting us through the cold nights.

It is getting cold

and rainy.

- [max] all right. - [gary] who's hungry?

- [max] get some protein. - [gary] yes!

[amber] you should've saw his reaction.

It was even better.

He was like, "snake!"

and he went towards it.

[max] I was like "dinner."

[max] add that notch on the belt.

I killed a freaking water moccasin.

[amber] very cool!

Max caught a snake today

and it was great.

Like you know what,

I would have handled the situation a little bit differently.

But I'm grateful to have food tonight.

You have to eat everyday actively.

So that way, you can survive 60 days in the swamp.

If not, you're not going to make it.

[max] mmm. Tasty.

[amber] that back meat's so good.

[gary] yeah.

[amber] I can feel this protein give us energy.

[gary] oh, yeah.

- [amber] it's like snake. - [gary] it's like snake.

[ryan] morning of day six.

Yeah, we heard some heavy thunder, lightning this morning.

But I think it's a storm that is just missed us.

So that's good.

We're going to go check the gator line.

See if there's anything on the hook.

[rylie] any action?

It is not... It is not hanging, guys.

[ryan] it's not in the tree.

[rylie] let's find out.

[ryan] some tension?

[gasps]

[ryan] caught on a stick!

[amber] I can see the stick.

[bleep] yeah. Dammit.

[ryan] ah, my heart skipped a beat.

[matt] something stole it.

[ryan] something got it though.

[matt] well, that's good news, right there,

something went after it.

[ryan] it's going to take a little persistence.

[matt] what's happening here is when our bait is not big enough...

- [ryan] they can see the hook. - [matt] they feeling it.

So it's teeth is feeling it,

and if he doesn't think it's right,

he's gonna be like, he doesn't want to swallow it.

[ryan] there's a gator over there guys,

waiting for us to leave so he can come and investigate.

[matt] he just got a free snack,

so he might dang well think that we are hand feeding him.

[ryan] just need to find more bait.

We'll get the next one.

We going to get a gator.

[matt] check it out, guys.

The fish are right here. There's fish right here.

Oh [bleep]. Might be a mullet.

Should we shoot one of them mullet?

Yeah.

[matt giggles] we definitely should.

You know just a small fish,

made to become a meal or gator bait.

So anything we can kind of get is going to actually help us become successful later on.

Oh, it jacked him up.

He is all jacked up, ryan, if you can swim out there.

[rylie] go, go, go, go, go.

[matt] I'll keep an eye on him.

Oh, get him!

[matt laughing]

oh, you had him for a second.

That was pretty cool. You had him right in your hand.

It slipped like a damn wet bar of soap.

[ej] so, shall we go look and see if we're having gator for lunch?

[suzanne] let's do it!

[ej] you ready?

We are heading out to check the gator line

because we are all out here for 60 days

and we need to get after food.

[suzanne] I just feel like we're gonna see a moccasin or two.

Keeping a bright eye out for it.

Hey ej, you don't have to run.

[ej] I'm not.

[suzanne] my legs about two feet shorter than your legs.

[ej] just trying to stay a little bit ahead,

just in case there is a snake.

-[suzanne] I hate this area. I hate this. -[ej] shh!

-[suzanne] I will not go here at night. -[ej] shh!

-[suzanne] I don't smell any water moccasin. -[ej] shh!

[ej] sorry. Got to be quiet.

I wasn't shushing her to shush her off.

It was just... Hunting is about kind of being quiet.

And we're getting to the area where we laid the bait.

So that means it's quiet time.

May be a gator up here.

Nah. A snake is still hanging.

[suzanne] darn! [bleep]

dang it. I was so hopeful.

Wow. Look at that gator right there.

[suzanne] I see him.

[ej] sometimes, when you splash they'll be very curious,

'cause they think it's a wounded animal or a free meal.

And this guy is very curious on us.

[suzanne] he is coming this way.

So come on over.

[ej] shh!

[suzanne] have some lunch, so we can have some lunch.

[ej] shh!

[suzanne] swing the bait. May be he will think it's a chicken.

[ej] got to be quiet.

-[suzanne] ej is your blade bothering you or you are good? -[ej] no, it's not.

I'm good.

I'm in fighting mode.

- [suzanne] I'm good. - [ej] shh!

[suzanne] ej, you knows he naturally knows this stuff

and it's his environment, he loves it.

So he is naturally excited to say everything.

Then that doesn't give either sarah or I a chance to say anything,

point anything out or make suggestions.

And I don't want to feel like a side kick.

-[ej] crap. -[suzanne] our lunch just swam away.

[ej] dammit!

[sarah] it's not the right bait.

It's out there eating the fish.

[ej] I know what it takes to hunt.

I'm very successful at it.

And if we're going to get to 60 days,

I don't know how I'm going to continue to... Try to be patient

and it gets to a point where it might break

and I got to say something.

[ryan] first shot, that was bigger... The biggest school.

I think they're already figuring us out.

[matt] I need the fish to stay on the arrow.

But I can't tie a line to the arrow

and to my body.

If the string gets stuck, then razor sharp arrow will fly back

and it's a bad combination.

So, I had to problem solve.

You know, what I could do for that?

It's going to be kind of weird in a way,

but I could take an arrow, unthread that hair.

So if you tie a toggle, like wrap it around a little bit,

when it sticks through a fish,

it will stop on a toggle

and the arrow will stay in that fish,

help us locate it

and also help that fish not get anywhere.

That toggle is to let the fish get skewed by the arrow

but it stops it at the end of a the toggle.

Keeping the fish centered on the arrow

is key to getting that fish.

Get a nice, flexible twig

and I'm just going to give it about 10-inches of line.

Should be sufficient.

And this is going to stop the arrow from flying all the way through the fish.

Hopefully keeping the fish on the line,

long enough for us to jump in,

grab the line,

grab the fish.

I just have to hit him solid enough that it's going to stop.

What this is going to do is

keep this arrow from zipping all the way through it,

while these guys are coming over him.

Coming to party.

[ryan] yeah, you can see all their backs.

[matt] get one of these mouths to just look like I could see real good.

[ryan] just disappeared.

[matt] just enough glare...

[ryan] I know.

[matt] it's not the closest shot to hit a hotdog size target.

No. It would be a [bleep] trick shot for sure.

[matt] okay, we got a shot here.

Come on up. Come on up.

The light changed little bit.

Okay, here we go.

[ryan] oh, we got him. Get him. Get him. Get him.

- [ryan] yes! - [matt] yeah!

[matt] oh, we got him. Get him. Get him. Get him.

[matt] yeah!

- [ryan] whoo! Whoo-hoo! - [matt] yeah, buddy!

[ryan] you are the man.

[rylie] awesome!

How crazy is matt right?

He just like shoots into the water

and nails this tiny ass fish,

which is just bananas.

It's the opposite of shooting fish in a barrel.

Like, there is no reason that should have worked.

- Total, dude! -[matt] it worked like a champ.

Oh, my word. You see that? See it struggling there?

[rylie] genius. Good job.

[ryan] have you done that toggle idea before?

I've never done it. Just thought about it right here, right now.

[rylie] awesome.

[matt] it's a louisiana swamp.

[matt] it's an absolute victory for us

because it shows that we have advanced in our techniques,

coming up with new ideas in a world.

Trying to keep this arrow from flying through the fish...

Big win today.

And I couldn't be happier.

Now we got to decide

do we eat a little meat

and then save the gut and the skeleton

for the gator bait.

This is a small meal.

But if we turn this small meal into gator bait,

then we're gonna get a gator.

- [rylie] feed a gaiter. - Yeah.

[ryan] I think it's a good idea to use the whole thing as bait.

[matt] heck yeah. Thank you little buddy. Appreciate it.

[rylie] go big or go hungry.

[ryan] that's one of the wildest things I have ever seen.

[ej] once it gets cold, everything stops moving.

Food is going to be more scarce.

Going to have to work double hard for it.

Take a break. Get back to it.

And I would say, as far as that gator line,

I think we should just wait till the morning.

Let that guy be curious.

Yeah.

- We chummed the water. - I know but he threw that out.

He is either going to want the bait or not.

I'm anxious to get that dang thing.

[suzanne] I know but if he doesn't get it over this night,

then it's not the right bait.

It's either too rancid or...

No, they like stinky chicken. Like stinky stuff.

[suzanne] I know but they might know about the moccasins.

You know, may be there's some little special relationship they have.

[ej] who knows? We'll just see...

[suzanne] it is. They didn't jump at it.

He wasn't like excited.

Yeah, 'cause we were all sitting there.

[suzanne] yeah.

[ej] suzanne has a habit of always chiming in over somebody

or trying to one up everybody it seems like.

[suzanne] you're doing it from the inside or outside, ej?

[ej] we are getting it from the inside at the moment.

So I'm going to have to have a sit down.

I mean this discussion has to be had.

Just deal with it, so we can clear the air and move forward.

It's been a pretty big week.

I think

[suzanne] yeah.

I mean, getting to know each other and so things don't pester over time,

I'm just going to get it out there.

'cause I've been getting a little bit driven baddy

and a little bit frustrated, sometimes suzanne with...

Sometimes I feel that... And I'm just gonna be... Being very honest.

Sometimes when we are doing things,

you tend to chime in...

At points...

And you're opinionated on things,

but it just causes me some time to get snarky and make faces

and I don't want to be that way.

I am not a negative person.

So, I am letting you know.

Well, I apologize.

I definitely appreciate him telling me.

I am well aware of the fact that I tend to think out loud.

I just always have.

I know that I am a talker.

I know that I do that. Like, I'll totally own that.

And I think it's biggest part is because I am out here with ej.

I'm out here with the great ej, you know?

And why would you say that?

[suzanne] well no. It's serious.

Like you're a legend. And I just don't want to be a sidekick.

I just don't want to feel like I'm just...

...Here.

We're out here as a team

and we all bring our assets, our skillsets to the team.

Whatever they are. One's no more important than the other.

You're an asset to me.

Sarah is an asset to me.

I'm an asset to her.

And I'm an asset to you.

[ej] I got my load off my chest.

I think suzanne and sarah and I are going to have

a great... Moving forward from here, effort.

Oh, I will try to...

[ej] you're good.

I think we got to get serious with this shelter.

[steven] yeah. I'll get the palms,

'cause specially looking like how today is looking.

I don't like these clouds.

[lacey] it's day six

and our shelter isn't done yet, which is like unheard of.

We know that rain is going to come.

We all have a job to do

and we just set out to do it.

I know I can get food, I know I can get water, I know I can do shelter.

My main challenge has always been my mental game.

But it is wild out here.

And it's only day six.

Did steven yell?

No, I felt a raindrop.

A big one.

Yeah, it's raining.

[steven] right.

I am going to try to get as many as I possibly can.

So I don't have to do this too many more times.

Make sure I don't step on nothing with scales.

Definitely not the safest place, but we need these.

You can't waterproof a shelter with just willow leaves

and oak leaves and grass.

You can't do it.

So the palm fronds are essential,

but it's not a quick journey to get to these palm trees.

If I can get a majority of these,

looks like we're going to have some rain,

it'll save us.

[thunder rumbling]

it's coming.

I need to get back to camp asap.

If we don't have these at the camp site,

like right now, it's going to be a terrible night for all of us.

[jeff] here it comes.

[lacey] [bleep] we don't have enough time. Uh!

[jeff] very, very scary.

Because this roof isn't done yet

and steven is not back with those palms.

[steven] trugging through this swamp is more dangerous

than checking any alligator trap.

There could be cottonmouths, rattlesnakes, alligators

all up in here.

[amber] here it comes.

Do we have anything we need to get out of the rain right now.

-[max] yeah. -[amber] all right, we are running out of time here boys.

- [max] yeah. We got it. - [amber] all right!

Ugh. We need to keep as much of this dry as possible.

[max] you should come in to stay dry.

[amber] all right. Dang it.

[gary] so thankful we got the roof done.

[max] yeah, we finished it just in the nick of time.

[amber] we really did.

[jeff] that is no joke.

[lacey screams] [bleep] cold!

I'm hearing the thunder getting louder and louder.

I mean, it is rolling in.

And I'm looking around, I'm like "crap, steven is not back yet."

can you save it?

- [jeff] I'm trying. - [lacey] bring it over?

[jeff] I'm worried it's going to rain all night long

and just in the nick of time.

[steven] holy [bleep]!

[lacey] oh, my god.

[steven] it was a journey getting these [bleep].

Oh, my god.

[lacey] I don't know if this is going to be a shower

or a full-on torrential downpour.

Hope it stops raining by night time.

[steven] yeah, that would be nice.

[ryan] oh, my word!

That freaking thunder better stay away.

[rylie] oh, my god. I don't want none of that.

[matt] hey ryan, let's throw some of this on while it's raining.

[ryan] hey, you getting right on top.

- That's good. - [matt] yeah. Yeah.

[matt] we got a smoke.

- We got to hold it in there now. -[ryan] oh, yeah.

That's when you know you did something right.

[rylie] oh, no!

It's really coming down.

[matt] that's when a challenge becomes like tough

to like, miserable.

[ej] at least we got a dry spot to run to.

[suzanne] yup

my roof is holding up.

[sarah] this is really quiet a storm.

It's a pretty intense storm.

[suzanne] it looks like we're having a sort of water seepage going on here

-from low ground... -[sarah] yeah. We got to pull.

[suzanne] ...And that sucks.

[ej] we got indoor plumbing at the moment. We don't want that.

[suzanne] take a look. Here comes the water.

[sarah] this rain is really intense.

If this rain keeps up all night,

I'm not entirely sure that we'll be able to keep this fire.

[suzanne] yeah.

[ryan] it is coming down.

- [matt] wow! - [rylie] whoo!

- Bring it on! - Bring it on!

[matt] you got it.

[matt] [bleep] dang!

That was close.

Damn, that's cold.

Hope everyone else is staying warm.

I'm really bummed out about just being cold.

And I know, I'm not going to get a lot of sleep.

I'm just you know, brrr, whatever, struggling.

All the thoughts about

night time as it gets darker

and colder,

creeps up on me.

[narrator] by nightfall, the rain relents.

But a frigid wind takes its place,

causing temperatures to plummet.

[sarah] it's super cold tonight.

Got the fire raging.

Boy, it's bone-chilling today.

It is absolutely cold.

When the swamp gets cold, it's a wet cold.

That'll cut right to your bones.

So now there's a threat of hyperthermia.

Some of us could get sick.

Any one of us could get taken out of this challenge just from the cold alone.

That's why we call it the suck.

[lacey] oh, I'm so cold.

It's amazing how much the temperature dropped.

[lacey] it's just so hard, when you're hungry and cold and tired,

to focus on anything other than how miserable you are.

I haven't slept a lot.

It's just easier to be up tending the fire than it is to get any sleep.

I hate it.

This miserable place.

[matt] there's a bit of a breeze coming down from the south

right through our entrance way.

So we need to definitely hunker down a better shelter tomorrow.

We'll just be filling in the end wall,

put some more material above me on the roof.

But, going to be a cold night.

Real cold night.

[max] it's [bleep] frigid.

Got this really cold wind coming through.

Pretty sure this is just the beginning.

We have to make our way through

December and the winter.

Still got to figure out ways to stay warm.

We got to start innovating and get this going.

It's the coldest night yet.

It's pretty darn cold.

And we're all three pretty cold here.

I have resorted to

sleeping on the ground,

under my bed.

And... This is going to be a tough one.

We all know we got to do something about this.

Otherwise...

You're going to suffer in the swamp.

- [amber] last night was rough. - [gary] yeah.

[amber] I was in so much pain like my body was shaking, frozen.

- And I couldn't control it. - [gary] yeah.

I was like, I don't have enough fat on me to sustain this.

Well, you can see my breath.

We woke up and it was freezing cold.

And it was horrible.

It was just kind of little foresight to what's to come.

You know, we're going into winter.

[gary] we making a log [bleep] cabin today.

Figure out that we need wind blockage for sure.

[max] that's what we're going to do today.

We'll each do our own side.

[max] so we have to battle down the hatchet

and create a shelter that's going to keep us warm,

keep us away from the wind, reflect heat and hopefully, keep the bugs out.

[screams]

we're each going to build our own wall.

We're going to need to cut down more trees.

We need to stack them like a log cabin.

And then we are going to need a mortar around all of the cracks

in order to prevent that wind for coming in

and making it just bomb proof.

[amber] what are you doing, gary?

I am building a log wall

up against our shelter.

I am going to build up my wall right here.

Boys are building up... Gary's doing his wall.

Max is knocking out his wall super quick.

-[amber] that looks great, max. -[max] thank you!

[gary] we're building a fort.

Nice!

[jeff] we do need to put some serious work in today.

Yeah. I'll do another palm run today.

[jeff] okay, sweet!

Today's main priority is we need to fortify our shelter.

We need to get it super strong and as waterproof as we can,

because the worst thing out here

is being cold, it's miserable,

it hurts your morale.

It's painful in so many ways.

[lacey] I am so tired.

It's hard to put that aside and focus on, you know, what needs to be done.

I don't want to let my partners down.

Ugh. [bleep]. Ant hill! Mother hell!

Don't want to let myself down.

But we'll see.

Okay, I am walking with my one stick.

[steven] hey, every bit helps babe.

Lacey, I mean, she literally took one for the team.

Keeping fuel on the fire.

Me and jeff didn't sleep very long.

But the little sleep that we did have

gave us enough energy to get some work done.

[jeff] starting to get a pretty damn good pile.

Yeah!

Lacey is exhausted. I can just see it in her face.

You need sleep out here.

If you don't get it, you're going to hurt yourself

or you're going to hurt somebody else.

I don't think I'll ever have my spirits back.

I think the bayou stole it.

[jeff] I'm a little worried for lacey.

She is definitely suffering from sleep deprivation out here.

And it affects you physically.

But it affects you more up here.

[matt] still got a little dark sky behind there.

We'll lose our sunshine probably here in a minute.

You know, you can't always curse the rain.

Because it brought fresh rainwater.

It literally... It gave ryan a whole new life.

This rainwater tastes so much better.

What it also gives us is crawfish.

- [matt] hey, rylie? - [rylie] yeah?

[matt] I got a good one located in here,

- but my fat damn arm doesn't fit. -[lacey] all right.

[matt] right in that ominous deep dark muddy hole.

[rylie] sticking my hands in the holes in the ground in the middle the swamp

is really counterintuitive to anything even biologically human.

Like we are programmed to, "hey, don't stick your hand in a hole,

hope there is a crawfish and hope it's not a snake."

you know what, you got to risk it for the biscuit.

I can feel it. I just can't tell where those are pinchers are.

He's going to let me know in a minute.

[matt] yeah, he'll let you know exactly where they're at.

- [rylie] ow! - [matt] oh, yeah.

Lobster of the swamp.

-[ryan] is it a big one? -[matt] it is a good one. Biggest one yet, I think.

[ryan] found a hole.

It's in there.

Got it.

[screaming]

- let go. -[matt] I thought you said you got him.

[matt] even though they are delicious

[ryan] I know

[matt] what if we put them on the hook?

[ryan] gator-hook?

- Use these for gator bait. - All right.

I think we can sacrifice two craw fish for a 100 pound gator.

I think it would be good trade.

[ryan] put them on there live?

If they see something live, they might actually...

[matt] I think they would. Yeah.

I think they would actually see a little movement

they'll actually get into attack mode.

[ryan] rylie, you up for using these crawl daddies for gator bait?

[rylie] sure.

[matt] right.

[max] so last couple of days, it's been really cold in the evening

with a really gnarly breeze.

So we've set up a log cabin style.

Bush craft log cabin.

And we mudded it down to make sure there's no wind coming through.

Here we are.

You see that mud?

It's freaking spectacular.

So I just finished up this wall right here

with the help of amber.

Look at that.

Freaking beautiful.

[amber] you guys, we've made some amazing progress.

[max] definitely.

I am going to take this tree down.

Probably about a 60 to 70 foot tree.

[max] oh, that's a massive [bleep] tree, dude.

- [gary] yeah. - Gary, that's huge.

[gary] yeah, we'll get a lot of logs out of that baby.

[max] oh, my god.

Which way do you want to fell it?

[bleep] if I could get it to go that way.

[max] it could land right on our [bleep] house though.

Nah. We're good to go that way.

It's an experience in the wild building shelters.

And it takes a lot of leverage and ingenuity.

And also being very careful,

because it's easy to get hurt.

[amber] I don't want you to burn yourself out, hun.

[gary] this tree right here represents a wall

for a shelter, to keep the wind out.

That's why I'm burning my calories to chop down the tree

because I'm thinking ultimately I'll save it in the night, when I sleep.

[max] gary is just the el macho chopping down a huge tree, you know.

I believe he saw how I built my side of the shelter,

which we are supposed to all build our own walls.

And I built mine, I was done with it.

So I think he is a little intimidated by my survival skills, I suppose.

Whatever. Work smarter, not harder.

Was going to see if one of you wanted to pull on it

while I chopped.

[amber] oh, okay.

[chuckles] I'm going to get hurt.

[gary] I don't know. Don't kinda pull too hard.

But it will help it get the right direction.

So don't...

[amber] I get it. When you chop, I'm going to pull this way,

so it doesn't go that way.

But if it does fall

that tree is going to deflect it just a little bit to go this way.

Do you know that? That's right above our shelter.

[gary] well, it's going to deflect it here.

[amber] all right, let's do it.

[gary] so, I'll tell you when to pull.

- So, pay attention. - [amber] I'm paying attention.

- [gary] pulling? - [amber] pulling.

- [gary] okay. - [amber] just enough pressure.

[gary] there is a little tree removal trick where you tie a rope as high up as you can,

and pull the tree in the direction you want it to fall.

There's always that little crack.

Oh, boy, it's starting to crack a little.

Hold on. I just need a few more chops.

[amber] you see it bending?

It's ready.

[gary] amber got to pull just a little

and we run for cover.

It's unpredictable sometimes where these things fall.

They even go backward to hit the person chopping it down.

Let me check something.

Okay. Here we go.

[amber] I am thinking to myself,

"amber you better be quick to react"

and my heart is pumping.

Oh, it's coming gary.

[gary] okay. Get back, amber.

[amber screams]

[amber] oh, it's coming gary.

[gary] okay. We got to get back, amber.

[amber screams]

-[gary] give me five. -[amber] rockstar. You did it, hon.

Gary bunion in the house.

I'm not going to say that was sketchy, but that was sketchy.

[gary laughs]

I have like a sense of relief over my body. Thank god.

He's taking a risk every time he does things like this.

-[gary] max, would you help me carry that log over there? -[max] yeah, of course.

Just set it right here.

[gary] and now this is going to have to move.

[amber] well, it's actually holding it up.

[max] yeah, that's good there.

No, it's going to go in an angle. So it would be better there.

[amber] oh, okay.

[max] let's just bring the next one in and we'll see where we're at.

[gary] say hold [bleep]

[amber] no, it's bracing itself until...

[max] either way, take it out.

[gary] I'm like... I let you guys build your walls.

- [max] yeah. Okay. - You know? I'm kind of like...

[max] let me know when you need help.

[gary] I mean.

You know even if you know 100% what you are doing,

maybe I have an idea as to how to make your job easier.

But, by all means.

And the thing is the only reason I'm being that way about it,

'cause I'm good at this [bleep]. I know what I'm doing.

[amber] oh, hell yeah. We know that, gary. We're not worried about that.

We're just trying to...

[max] no one ever denied that you're good at it or not.

No, but I mean, I'm just saying I know exactly what I'm doing.

- [amber] okay. - [max] okay.

[gary] trying to show someone something sometimes.

And they think they know more than you with their experience level.

But I'm not just being some wacky weirdo.

I actually have a method.

And I know what I'm doing.

I'm good at this [bleep].

You know, I think, since this rain's kind of subsided a little bit,

and our shelter's looking good

I'm going to take a walk down to the gator hook and just like...

- [matt] scope it out? - [ryan] yeah.

-What do you think? You want to come with? -[rylie] yeah.

- Finished cleaning up in there so... -[matt] all right. Thank you.

[rylie] go for it, guys. I'll follow you.

- [matt] go big or go hungry. - [ryan] yeah.

[matt] so plan for today is, we want to up our game.

We have the right kind of alligator bait now,

that we need to go out and use that alligator bait.

May take a day or two.

But at some point, I'm very confident

that there is going to be an alligator cooking on that fire.

And to get that extra protein

to where we can actually gorge feed ourselves,

is going to be huge.

[ryan] last ditch effort.

All right, so this guy tried a little different technique here.

And let's tie him on there.

[rylie] are we tying them together?

[matt] yeah, we'll tie joe bob on to billie over here.

[rylie] whoo. Trying to give me little handshake.

Guys are about to be really good friends.

Super [bleep] up, but we are going to do it.

[ryan] look out there. Look out over your right shoulder.

Another six footer.

[matt] look at that. That's a nice one.

[amber] that's so meaty.

That's a nice looking bait.

[ryan] oh yeah.

As soon as we leave, he is going to come over and investigate this one too.

So we got one gator investigating the other one

and one going to come to this one.

[rylie] we need it.

[matt] he's facing us. Turning our way.

[rylie] he's cruising right at us.

[ryan] he's got some tail action going.

[rylie] definitely coming over here to see what's shaking.

[matt] hey, buddy, my junk is not on the menu.

[rylie] it's good. Good stuff.

Look. Look at him. Look at him peeping over here.

Just staring.

[ryan] he's creeping.

[rylie] creeping.

[matt] let's see what can happen next, shall we?

[ryan] want to take a walk down to that second hook.

[rylie] keep a little peak.

[matt] yeah.

[matt] it's the anticipation on these.

That moment of anticipation of knowing

we did everything right,

did everything we needed to do.

- [ryan] and nothing. - [rylie] nothing?

Damn. No gator today.

It's a pretty good set up, but I do fear

that this spot has a potential for a serious tangled mess

and a tight fighting corner.

[ryan] yeah. Want to move it?

By our camps so we don't have to walk so damn far.

[matt] I mean this one here,

if something gets stuck on it then we got to wade through,

you know, waist-deep water to try to get an alligator undone.

[rylie] okay, let's snatch it and we'll head out.

[matt] strategic reposition.

[ryan] yeah.

[ej] we have a cold-spell came in here.

We're going to have to operate around that.

We do have pelts.

We're going to have to keep probably a little bit more firewood on hand now.

But this is survival

and we're going to have to get out of the shelter

and get after it.

If we want to eat and keep ourselves alive.

Ah, there goes a squirrel.

We're going to eat him.

There's another one.

I might set some snares up over here.

Make use of that fishline the most we can.

So, I've got the squirrels running up and down this street right here,

as a connector from that side of the lagoon to this side.

I want to strong point this with a couple few snares.

I want to make sure I make it good.

Sliding noose, a simple snare.

And what will happen is when he hits this,

there'll be enough slack that he'll dangle.

There we go. I think we got it.

All right. That one's set. It's perfect.

This is my kill-zone for the squirrel.

I've got a snare right up here, along this main avenue.

And I got that snare right there.

So whether they are coming or going,

we're going to have some squirrel.

[sarah] water level looks to have come up a little bit over here.

I learnt from my experience in africa,

that small amounts of food

for a greater number of days

is way more reliable than

one huge big kill that

may or may not ever actually come.

This is a swamp. There are fish everywhere.

Maybe not huge, big, whoo-hoo fish.

But little ones.

It might not be glorious,

but, it's food and that's what we need.

So, we're going to hang fishing lines.

[suzanne] okay. I just have to untangle that,

but that's like properly 12 to 15 feet of line.

[sarah] good to have that.

[suzanne] down here in the swamps, this is my playland.

I've got all kinds of fishing experience.

And I'm excited to see that these fish that keeps jumping out,

that they are such top feeders.

Because I don't have sinkers or anything to weight it down.

So, I'm really excited about this possibility.

All right, the bait is in the water.

[sarah] excellent.

[suzanne] we should skedaddle.

[steven] end of day seven.

This. Like, it's gorgeous.

But, you know, what I've learnt,

the most beautiful environments on the planet

are some of the most difficult to live in.

So tonight might even be colder than the night before.

[lacey] so cold.

[lacey] wicked cold out.

This side of my body by the fire is hot.

This side of my body, not by fire, is cold.

[jeff] [bleep] we've been hit again.

We're trying to stay warm around the fire,

but it's impossible.

We have built a bush craft log wall. It's pretty epic.

Here you've like clamped between these slacks,

so that way we could have no wind

because we do not want to go through what we did last night.

That was hard.

Winter is coming, baby. And it's going to be hell.

Just no [bleep] sleep.

I'm sorry but...

Having nightmares.

My lack of sleep, it's got me.

I'm going crazy.

The mental part of this, that I knew was going to get me.

Feels like an eternity.

That's torture.

[gasps] son of a...

60 days in a cold environment, that's enough to break people.

[steven] I'm hoping it's just a fluke,

but the firewood to prepare is essential move.

[steven] with no sleep, it's hard to get up.

It's hard to get stuff done.

And everyday, there's stuff that needs to be done out here.

So priority number one, get as much firewood as possible.

And pray that we don't have another event like last night.

[jeff] that's a really good sign when it's so hard to break.

Cause that means it's not rotten and it's solid wood.

Most of the wood around here

a four year old could snap it in half.

This sucker's gonna be good for a couple of hours of comfort tonight.

[lacey] hand me the water, I'm going to go fill it up.

[steven] okay.

[lacey] thinking about last night and that was really hard.

Every time I closed my eyes, it was just horrible.

Thinking about when the sun goes down and that happens again.

And being trapped, out-of-control.

I am a survivalist, I swear.

Lacey, she's been going downhill, the last couple of days.

And on a 60 day challenge,

there is no way you are getting to the finish line,

unless you can pull your own weight.

[suzanne] this will be wonderful.

This kind of wood is really good for the kindling to get stuff started.

I am gathering firewood

and I want so much firewood, that we don't know what to do with it.

So that we have a bit of a stockpile.

Because I really don't know what's going to happen with the weather.

[sarah singing] going on an adventure, out into the swamp.

I'm definitely hungry

because my belly has been gurgling, gurgling, gurgling.

[ej] just keep your eyes peeled sarah, for food.

[sarah] here's one, right here.

Hi, food.

[ej] see how that works?

The rains brought out the crawfish.

That's awesome.

I was just standing there telling you, "watch out for food." boom!

Oh, look, look, look, look.

Crawfish, let him crawl to us.

[sarah] it's two of them. There's one back there.

- [ej] oh, I see him. - [sarah] I'mma go get him.

Yummy, yummy, yummy. It's a big, big boy.

[ej] ah, come here. Here's another crawfish.

[sarah] oh, boy.

Nice! Good job. Add them to the boil.

[ej] ah, here we go.

[sarah] big boy?

[ej] biggun, biggun.

- [sarah] dump them. - [ej] boom!

Ej, I see another one right there.

I'm gonna get him.

Oh, this guy is probably the biggest one yet.

Wow!

[sarah] we got probably, probably ten in there now?

[ej] man, this is crawfish city.

[sarah] hey, these might be oyster mushrooms.

They are oyster mushrooms.

- These are yummy, yummy edible mushrooms. -[ej] oh, my god.

[sarah] look at that.

[ej] is that what the scales are supposed to look like?

Yeah, they go all the way down the stem.

Oh, look at these guys. These are fresh.

[ej] woah. Those pancakes?

[sarah] yup, pancakes.

[ej] we found the grocery store over here.

[ryan] hey guys

[rylie] what's up?

[ryan] just found a piece of bamboo floating over here.

[matt] oh, cool.

[rylie] yeah.

- [matt] that could be handy. - [ryan] I know.

[ryan] we can use it for maybe baiting the alligator hook on it?

[rylie] yeah, that's a good idea.

You know? Look at this thing.

[matt] hell, that's long.

- [ryan] yeah. - [rylie] oh, wow.

[ryan] this thing is like 20 feet tall.

-[rylie] that would be good for bait. -[matt] oh, that's super long.

[rylie] sun is out.

[matt] so what you saying, we should just bayou-d a bamboo pole?

[ryan] yeah.

Bamboo is an extremely resourceful tool.

You can cut it up into containers.

You can boil water in it.

You can store food in it.

We got to come up with a plan to where we want to bait that.

[matt] yeah.

[ryan] or the pole that we found, if we leave it as is,

we can use it as an alligator pole or a fishing pole.

[matt] for now, we should get this gator bait in the water.

[ryan] you got the other cord?

[matt] yeah cord's right there. Bamboo poll's almost over there.

Just bring this with us.

[matt] so we have had two gator hooks weigh down the bank here.

We need to set something new because we've been seeing gators stalking us at camp.

So now, we're hunting in our backyard.

And this set up is similar to the others,

but we needed to get out as far as possible.

There's aquatic weeds and vegetation all along the bank.

Alligators are very visual animals.

They also rely on their sense of smell.

But they need to be able to see.

These aquatic weeds hinder the ability to see the bait.

So if we can get that bait to drop into the open water,

then we're going to have better success.

Well ryan and I found this branch.

We're going to set up the piece of bamboo we found

and dangle the bait where I think it's absolutely perfect.

It's a deep water ledge.

Alligator is going to come up from the deep. See it.

Grab it, pull it down, take it down,

swallow it and then go time.

Thinking if we do this.

We get entondo-matic,

and we tie it like this.

It's getting... It'd be dark in an hour or so.

If we keep an eye on it from camp, we could always...

[ryan] I know that's awesome we could just watch him from our front door, pretty much.

[matt] yeah. We can just ease it on up.

We just... When he pulls it, we should pull that slack

and just make sure it cascades off this side easy.

We could just kind of coil it on the tree even.

[ryan] this would a good spot to jump on a four-footer.

-[matt] oh, hell yeah. -[ryan] just saw his head there.

[matt] we may have to jump on this one when we get off.

[ryan] all right. Fingers crossed.

[matt] eat it. I don't know where you're at. Eat it.

[chopping]

[sarah] all right, you guys.

- Look at this. - [suzanne] let's take a look.

[all] whoa!

- Oh, man, that looks good. - [ej] that's a pot of chow.

[sarah] that looks awesome.

[ej] both my partners are strong independent women.

And I respect that.

Neither suzanne or sarah are sidekicks.

I'm out here doing what I do best for the team

and they are going to do what they do best for the team.

'cause we got a long haul to go and we're gonna need each other.

And I know there's going to be tougher days ahead.

[sarah] yeah, that's going to be good eating.

Look at that.

[suzanne] yum, yum, yum.

Dinner is served.

- Big score. - [suzanne] all right.

[sarah] yummy. Dig in time.

Oh, so good.

It is. No wonder, it's a delicacy down here.

It's a bayou boil.

We boiled up crawfish tonight.

We eating good at the chateau de la swamp.

[suzanne] that's right. We even have some shrooms over there.

What you thinking sarah?

Bayou bounty.

It's amazing.

[suzanne] really good.

[ej] I'm going to leave the heads if you want.

- I'm going to put them right there. -[suzanne] oh, yeah. Totally.

I will totally suck on the heads.

[groans]

I'm just so [bleep] tired, man.

I'm not strong enough to go another night like that.

That was really hard.

And I kept myself together all night.

No crying. No whining. Just super strong.

I did everything I could do to get through last night

and I thought I was going to be fine.

I pushed myself as far as I could push myself

and I think, I'm okay with that.

I think today is the day, guys. I think, I'm going home.

Taking it one day at a time

and it's been hard but

- [jeff] yeah. - [steven] yeah.

- Last night was so bad. - [jeff] yeah.

My knees hurt. My body hurts. My heart hurts.

It's cold.

[jeff] yeah, last night was rough.

But it's going to get rougher.

I know.

And soon, every single night's gonna be like that.

Every night.

[lacey] I didn't want to give up that easily.

And I thought maybe it will come back, you know?

That drive to be here.

I know it makes me feel like such a weakass.

But the same time, I know my limit.

And I know I can't do another night.

[jeff] when you know, you know.

[steven] that's always sad to see your partner go.

She really wanted to cross that big finish line

and the environment stopped her from doing that.

It's terrible out here. It's brutal.

[steven] triple threat.

- [lacey] thank you. - We love you.

[lacey] it's heartbreaking.

I was here to prove that I'm a legend.

And now, I just came here and embarrassed myself.

I didn't expect it.

I've been to africa. I've been to ecuador. I've been to belize.

This is what has cut me down.

Louisiana.

This is the worst place to survive on the planet.

The louisiana swamps.

Yeah.

[jeff] I throw up for days.

I've got this parasitic infection.

Just so happens you know, it's got my nuts.

The environment out here, it wants to kill us.

And it's our job to defeat her.

So with that comes a lot of suffering, a lot of torture and a lot of hard work.

Because this is a cut-throat game.

If you can't hack it, you're gone.

Honestly, she was the wildcard.

And you know, I figured I'm going to give her the benefit of doubt.

And no matter how bad you want it, in this environment in...

It'll break anybody.

[lacey] bye, louisiana.

And all you freaking mosquitos.

I hope, I never see you again.

[amber] gary doesn't want to stop. He's like a work horse.

Like, he just wants to keep go, go, go, go.

I just want him to conserve that energy

because we are just beginning this marathon.

[max] I mean that might be the last one.

[gary] yeah, I'm going to aim for one more

but it would kind of do for the night.

I might start just putting small ones on and

I'll add one later, if there's time or something.

[max] that back wall is half finished.

If I could've been in charge, we'd be done by now.

So other people want to show their big guns,

and use their tools and do the thing.

I just don't want you to burn yourself out.

[amber] I'm trying to do as much as I can, fishing.

I want to make sure I can do everything possible

to get these boys to take a break and relax.

[amber] yay.

Heard the line move just now

-and I'm like I got a catfish. [amber screams] -[max] come here.

[amber] oh, my god. [bleep]

- gimme a damn hug, baby girl. -[amber] that's caught on everything.

Oh, my god. I'm so happy.

[max] voila! Another freaking catfish.

She is catwoman.

[amber] oh, my god.

Let me see it.

- [gary] oh yeah. - [amber] it's a beautiful guy.

I caught another fish.

Put my hook in there and boom.

I love providing for my partners. I love it.

Boys, we eating so good. Look at the size of this. This is bigger.

Well, I don't know if it's bigger but it's just as good.

Yeah, it's...

- Oh, my god. - I'm so happy.

-I'm so happy for you. -It got both of them. A big group hug.

Ah, I'm so happy for us.

This is for us. We needed this.

[max] it's your win. [amber] no, I needed this. I felt bad,

I was freaking out a little bit, over exhaustion, you working hard.

It's time. This is it. Right here.

[amber] well, guess what. Fish for dinner.

Feelin' like a rock star right now providing for my boys.

And we have worked together as a team getting that, I pulled it out of the water.

We got so much meat, it's ridiculous.

Oh, yeah. Amber's catfish.

-And it's delicious. It tastes so good. - "scrumptulacent."

- [laughs] - fresh fish.

We eating good in the house tonight.

Fresh fish. So good.

[max] fresh fish.

Delicioso.

[matt] can't wait for tomorrow.

- [ryan] for new day. - [matt] new day.

-[rylie] we probably need to get some more firewood. -[matt] yup.

I don't care if it's wet or whatever,

but if we get hot coals, we can burn wet wood.

[matt] yeah.

[matt] that was the pole going down.

[rylie] I think we should check it.

[ryan] oh, we going to go all the way out?

[matt] yes.

[rylie] this is [bleep] crazy.

- All right, let's go. - [ryan] all right.

[matt] so right now, it's super dark, and can't really see much.

But we can hear it.

What do you guys hear?

[rylie] yeah, it's definitely some lurking, and pulling.

[ryan] I just heard him blow out all of his air bubbles an inch underwater.

[matt] you can just hear the branch shaking just now.

That's a huge sound.

Branches shaking. It is go time.

-[ryan] how are we going to sleep tonight? -[rylie] we can't!

[matt] this is a big day.

- And you know what... -[rylie] one week baby, one week.

One week in, sorry for being late to the party.

But there is a gator on that line.

I'll see you later, alligator.

[bleep]

[matt] it is go time as soon as it gets to light.

Can't fight a gator in the dark but

- [ryan] I know. - [matt] oh, my god, you guys.

[ryan] by the sound of that, I'm going to say it's a 99%...

[matt] I bet it's go time.

[rylie] we're going to not be able to sleep.

We're not going to be able to sleep.

It's gonna be crazy.

- Team savage. Go big... - [all] or go hungry.

[matt] yeah!

We are alligator gladiators.

[matt] oh, get him. Get him. Get him. Get him. Get him.

Yeah. Whoo-hoo.

[narrator] throughout the ultimate legends challenge,

each team will be evaluated on a new scale.

The xls or xl success metric,

which calculates their likely percentage of completing

their 60 days together as a team.

After the first storm of the challenge

brought an early taste in winter.

Lacey's inability to cope with the cold

snapped her will to continue

[lacey] I think today is the day, guys. I think, I'm going home.

[jeff] this is a cut-throat game.

If you can't hack it, you're gone.

[narrator] now their xls will be recalculated as a two man team

which based on their skill and experience,

rises to 58%.

For max, gary and amber

conflict and tension has slowed their shelter progress.

[gary] this ain't holding it [bleep]

[narrator] but a steady string of food wins

is keeping them in the game.

[max] yeah! Did it, baby.

[narrator] still their chances of finishing the challenge as a team dropped slightly

from 41% to 35%.

After weathering the first storm.

[sarah] this rain is really intense.

[narrator] and forging new bonds.

[narrator] ej, sarah and suzanne

may have found a recipe for success in the swamp.

[sarah] yummy.

[suzanne] so good.

[narrator] their team xls rises

from 52 to 56%.

[bleep] tied on dude.

Worked like a champ.

[ryan] oh, my lord.

[narrator] thanks to their innovation...

[matt] I think it's a good idea to use the whole thing as bait.

[narrator] and long term strategy.

[matt] I don't know where are you at,

eat it.

[narrator] matt, ryan and rylie

may have the bounty they have been working toward.

There's a gator on that line.

[narrator] with a risky mission at hand,

their team xls rises from 36 to 42%.

- Team savage. Go big... - [all] or go hungry.

[matt] did you guys sleep at all?

[ryan] not much.

[matt] yeah, but 11 hours

and now the anticipation is over.

- [rylie] battle ready. - [matt] get ready for battle.

- What do you think? - Feel a little like a...

[rylie] oh you want to do a little...

[matt] little war paint action.

[rylie] yeah.

[matt] let's take a dip.

[rylie] team savage. Getting into it.

[matt] team savage. Getting our war paint going.

[ryan] legendary battle about to happen.

[matt] all right, let's come up with a game plan and see what we can do.

- [ryan] all right. - [rylie] whoo.

Well, the morning has come. We are after this gator.

We know there's a gator on the hook. It's crazy and we're ready to go.

We are constantly taking big risks to get big wins,

and you know, that's how we're going to make it to day 60.

All right, so...

I think our best bet...

I'll go out on the tree.

I have had a lot of experience with these gators, so I'll come out.

I'll hold the line for a minute,

see what we are dealing with.

Then rylie if you want to follow me. Ryan follow after her.

And it's where at the end of this tree what we're going to find

is the biggest battle is going to happen right out here in this open water.

So this area here

- let's call this the battle zone. Okay? -[ryan] okay.

[matt] during this time in this battle zone

do not fall out of the tree.

You fall out of the tree, you may not get back up on the tree.

So while we get him fighting here,

we have to get him situated in a way

that we're actually able to may be extend the rope...

And ryan if you want to may be extend our rope

- as we're holding it. - [ryan] yeah.

[matt] you extend it. You come over here on the shore.

Then as we let go of the rope,

you can start pulling, we'll walk back over here.

Get in position.

[ryan] okay.

As you're pulling it in,

I will try to lasso a noose around that gator's head.

-[ryan] okay. -[matt] then rylie you grab the rope again.

- [rylie] okay. - [matt] you start pulling.

I'll start pulling that lasso pulled.

And we're gonna have to pull his head in two different directions here.

[rylie] it's really important to even the playing field.

The water is his territory but the land is ours.

And so, we're trying to get him up on the land,

because we don't want anyone getting hurt.

[matt] now when he's here, that's when you ryan,

deliver the kill shot.

You're going to take your knife

that's the spot about the size of a quarter on top of his head.

- That's where his brains at. - Yup.

Remember that little half moon from one of the first alligator in the everglades.

It wasn't very clean but it was quick.

Taking down that alligator in the everglades,

that is a huge advantage to me personally out here.

And I'm really excited to get another one.

This alligator is going to immediately

know he's being hunted, the moment we pull that rope up

and he's going to fight like hell.

His fighting, he's going to try to get away.

Once he realizes he can't get away,

that's when he's going to start every manoeuvre he can.

Alligator death roll.

That's where they actually have to use all their core strength

they roll just like they would rip something apart.

[ryan] yeah, like if it's over a five footer, I'm not getting in the water.

Just letting you know that right now.

[rylie] if it's over five foot, it's bigger than me.

This is the most dangerous thing I've ever done.

And there's no room for error. We cannot screw this up.

There's a lot of trust involved.

So if any one of us don't do our part,

we're putting the others in danger.

So what we need to do is bring him into our home

and dispatch him here.

Most importantly, let's be safe.

[matt] hell, yeah.

[ryan] let's [bleep] crush this.

[matt] let's get out here and get us a gator.

- All right. - [ryan] let's do this.

A lot of things could go wrong.

Not knowing the size of the alligator.

The three of us have never been out on this willow tree before, testing its strength.

A lot of the trees around here are rotten

and they break very easily.

If one of us fell in the water game over.

[matt] see how that ropes?

It's going up the side.

[ryan] that's real taut.

We'll go over there and do the head drilling.

[matt] yeah, he's there.

[rylie] all right.

[matt] hope you got good balance.

Goes without saying, do not fall in.

He's already moving.

-[rylie] he's looking. -[ryan] look, look, look. He knows.

[bleep]

oh boy. I...

- [matt] adrenaline is like... - [rylie] I know. I know.

[matt] please don't fall in.

[rylie] okay, yeah, yeah.

Just going to make sure I don't [bleep] fall.

[matt] all right, so it's good news, guys.

He's definitely here.

Here you go, rylie. Yeah.

[rylie] I'm not sure, there's enough room for me here,

[ryan] yeah we have two branches to balance on.

And have that branch to the left and that's wood.

[rylie] I don't think so. I don't think I should get up there.

[matt] if you're ok there, it's fine.

[rylie] pass me the line and I'll...

[ryan] you can get down like this. It'll be a little more stable.

[matt] so right now, he's on here.

But what we have to do is get him untangled.

He's pretty wrapped up in stuff.

I can't figure out how big he is yet.

He's definitely wrapped around this tree.

Hold this.

- This is the danger zone. - [rylie] right

[ryan] the hydrilla is much bigger than this alligator.

[rylie] it's moving. It's moving.

[ryan] you got it.

[matt] keep pulling, rylie.

Right now, he's tangled up pretty hard.

Going to try to get this log out.

-[rylie] I tell you what, nothing is easy in this swamp. -[ryan] nah.

[rylie] we got to fight for every bit.

[matt] one problem done.

This was not going to be easy.

- [rylie] oh, is he over here? - [matt] he's taking it.

- [rylie] I see the bubbles. - [ryan] yup.

[rylie] [bleep] I think he's over here.

Is everybody solid?

[matt] let's use that bamboo.

I'm going to push things around.

- [rylie] he's right over here. - [ryan] yeah

-[rylie] he's very close to us. -[ryan] he's damn close to us.

[bleep]

[rylie] all right, now he's trying to move out.

He's trying to move out that way

towards you.

-[rylie] you want to give him some slack while we move? -[matt] yeah.

Hold on to that, I'm going to push this into the open water.

[rylie] ah [bleep] he's under the tree.

-[matt] oh, he's fighting under there. -[ryan] he's fighting.

[ryan] oh, man, that's some serious [bleep]

[matt] see if I can get this off.

[rylie] let me get to the side of this before I get snatched.

- Okay, got it. - [matt] he's fighting on it.

What the [bleep]?

Oh he's right here. He's right here.

- [ryan] watch your knee. - [rylie] watch out.
