Original subtitles

Ej: Hey, man, you see that electric eel?

That one's bigger than the one I caught in the Amazon.

Here, Mr. Eel.

Come on in here just a little closer, man.

Ej: All right, he's cutting in.

You got to get him right behind the head.

Got him. Good stick, man.

I don't want him to electrocute me, dude.

[ Electricity zaps ] [ Screams ]

Narrator: 21 days ago, 12 "naked and" afraid veterans

began an impossible challenge --

to endure 40 days and 40 nights...

Take that, Colombia!

...with no food, no water, and no clothes.

Oh, this is hard.

Laura: Quickly, quickly.

Luke: I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it.

ej: I love it!

Give it to me!

Narrator: After 21 days in the badlands of Colombia,

where the temperatures are scorching

and the wildlife can be lethal,

these "naked and afraid" veterans

have reached the halfway point of the challenge.

These cramps are so insane.

Dehydration has claimed one victim.

I'm feeling very attacked.

Hunger and fatigue has brought down another.

I think you're lazy.

Survival has to be lazy.

Teammates clash over survival strategies.

[ Thunder rumbles ]

I just really hate

that everyone thinks I'm just an ass[Bleep]

It's so [bleep] hot. Should have left hours ago.

Narrator: Now, scarce resources

are sending the survivalists on a collision course.

Luke: It's a long damn time -- 40 days.

If you have limited resources,

you're splitting those resources five ways.

Ej: We've got to get water soon.

Oh, look. Hey!

Hey!

Narrator: On "naked and afraid,"

day 21 marks the end of the journey.

Now the 10 who remain enter uncharted territory.

40 days is a far cry from 21 days.

It's getting worse.

It's gonna get a whole lot worse.

Day 21, we all know

that normally, we'd be done by this time.

We're in bad shape right now.

We're skinny, we're getting weak and fatigued.

[ Shouts ]

Shane: 21 days you can wait out.

You can't wait out 40 days.

You have to make an effort.

This is where your gut really gets tested.

Day 22, and we're coming!

[ Snake rattles ]

We're heading on our way

to the piranha lake that's on the map.

Yeah, I'm thinking about going with you guys.

Narrator: After days of walking through the scorched Savanna,

Jeff and ej have stopped for the night in El bosque.

Shane: Very excited to see ej and Jeff.

I haven't had any significant source of protein

since the morning of day 1.

21 days is the limit

that a human body can go physically with minimal food.

There's not enough protein here for me,

so I would like to go with them.

Narrator: Starved of protein,

Jeff and ej plan to walk 7 miles to piranha lake,

which his just four miles from their extraction point --

the place they will end the challenge on day 40.

The Alpha males are risking everything

in the hope that this body of fresh water

will have enough fish and game to sustain them

for the last half of the challenge.

Jeff: Ladies!

-Hi! -Hi!

We're so glad to see you girls.

So glad to see you guys.

Jeff: Holy crap.

Danielle and Alana get there, and Shane shuts down.

I don't know what happened between them,

but it was big, and it was personal,

and none of them are over it yet.

I wanted to offer my help.

I'm not sure how many times I have to say that to you

without you -- and I'm saying we don't need your help.

Narrator: After clashing with the girls for weeks,

Shane built his own camp and has spent

the last nine days struggling to live alone in the jungle.

[Bleep]

Dani b.: Do you mind if I come watch you guys

and kind of, like, learn stuff?

Jeff: No, that's cool.

I think we're gonna move on to the piranha lake tomorrow.

But first, we're gonna teach Dani a few things about fishing.

Jeff: And if a fish takes a hook,

you're gonna make sure you hold it tight.

Oh, he's going for it right now.

I can't see.

Pull on that thing.

-Hey. -Yes, yes, yes.

Get him far enough away from the water.

I caught a fish.

Give it up, girl. Nice job.

I'm gonna get vegetarian hate mail for that.

Ej: Yes, you will get vegetarian hate mail.

At the piranha lake, we're gonna have nearly 20 days

to figure all the fish out in that entire lake.

I have to pull in a piranha.

Have to, boys.

Shane: When I heard there's piranha lakes,

I'm like, "I want to kill them with a bow.

Spearing them." Like, "I want to [bleep]"

They might not be big enough.

That's not gonna work.

Shane: I'm so over being at this location with Alana.

It's just incredibly frustrating.

You know, every time I make a comment

or a suggestion or anything,

immediately she shoots down my comment.

I'm just -- I can't wait to get out of here

so I don't have to deal with that [bleep] anymore.

I'm just so [bleep] aggravated and sick of that [bleep].

I'm just -- ugh!

Did you catch what happened?

What?

Yeah, I meant to ask you about that.

I thought I caught it,

but I want to make sure I caught the right thing.

That was a prime example of what I've been dealing with,

you know, from day 1, dude -- day [bleep] 1.

Every time I say something, she immediately shoots me down.

You know, it's like, "come on."

That's what I thought you were talking about.

I'm like, I'm over it. That why I'm like, I'm done.

I've been dealing with that attitude since day [bleep] 1.

You can't be getting poked and poked and poked.

I can't keep getting poked, man.

I can't keep getting jabbed.

It's too stressful a situation.

Ej: When you see a fellow man in trouble, you know,

it's not in me to turn my back on somebody.

Well, we got your back, okay.

We want you to go with us to piranha lake.

I appreciate that, man. It means a lot to me.

We got your back.

With this particular situation,

something drastic happened, something bad.

And the best solution for the whole group

is for us to take Shane out of here.

You know, I just wanted you to understand.

Yeah, yeah, you're good.

This is definitely a blessing from god,

so really stoked.

I think, tomorrow morning, first light,

we should push toward the lake.

Alana: Is he teaming up with y'all?

Yeah, I think it'd be better for you guys.

He's itching to go to the lake.

And we're going that way anyway.

So, I know you got to stay here longer

'cause of the vegetarian. -Yeah.

With all the resources that are here,

we're gonna stay as long as we can.

I am in a spot right now where there's a lot

of fruit and nuts for me to live off of.

I'd rather do everything I can now

to prepare for what might be ahead.

We don't want to be completely depleted

before we get to extraction,

so we're gonna have to time it. -Yeah.

Ej: Dani's a vegetarian.

I get why they're staying here, but I just think

there's not enough protein in this area at all.

And when you guys eventually get over there,

we'll leave the light on for you.

Narrator: Five miles north of El bosque lies cao verde,

where Laura, Eva, and Dani have joined Chris and Luke

to form a second five-person group.

[ Animals chattering ]

Eva: This is probably the longest swim

I've gone for in years.

[ Chris sighs ]

Chris: When the girls came to camp,

we had decided we'd give it a 24-hour "go" period,

and if it worked, it worked, and if it didn't,

you know, no harm, no foul.

But, no, it's been a couple days,

and everything's still going full steam ahead.

Unfortunately, five mouths to feed's

a lot of mouths to feed.

Eva: Oh, there's some fish.

We could put this really low.

We wouldn't have to pull this up super quickly.

Luke: The mosquito net is the biggest resource

that the girls have brought us.

They've had success catching smaller fish with it,

and I'm putting my faith in the girls and their net

that, you know, I can get protein --

something that Chris and I haven't been able to get.

And let's make sure we pull tight.

That's super important.

Go, go, go.

Ay.

[ Sighs ] They're fast.

Guys, just don't hesitate. Just go up.

Yeah, keep this end high

so they're only coming in from one way.

Go.

-Got him. -Got him.

-Wow. -See?

All right, you guys take it.

He's tiny, but...[Bleep] Little tiny.

Luke: Going 22 days without protein,

it feels like you got a film over everything --

like this weird, like, coat over your body.

And nothing feels like it should be.

It's not moving the right way.

It feels like you need, like,

oil in your joints or something like that.

I don't know how to describe it.

Narrator: The body stores much of its protein reserves

in fluid around the joints, so a lack of protein

makes movement difficult and painful.

Laura: Feel like they're pretty damn done.

Dani j.: Some of them are super tiny, but...

All right, let's get these all divvied up

so everybody gets their share.

I know they're tiny, but... Luke: Minimal protein.

I can't wait till we catch a fish

that's, like, 2 or 3 pounds. -Oh, my god.

I know.

We might have to go somewhere else.

Chris: Not for nothing -- a fish or two this big

is not really gonna do much for me.

We're eager to get a kill more substantial

that will actually feed five of us

and actually fill your stomach.

Our resources here are coming to an end.

Within the next few days,

I could see making a move just to try and locate some

different types of food sources, or maybe more abundance.

Jeff: Tomorrow's the big move.

All us guys, we're heading to the piranha lake

in hopes of some big fish.

Shane: I'm very excited to spend the next 17 days

with my two new brothers.

I wouldn't want to be out here

with any other survivalist on the planet.

Two cowboys rolled into this camp.

And tomorrow, we'll be leaving a trio.

Yes, that's right --

the Alpha dogs picked up another dog.

We got another boy for the black rock boys.

[ Jeff barking ]

So these banditos are coming to a town near you.

So, piranha lake, watch out.

Ej: All right, girls,

I think we are about ready to head out.

Shane: Ej, Jeff, and I are heading out to the new location.

And I'm excited that my motivation

and purpose for being here

is totally altered in less than 48 hours.

I think that's amazing.

We'll be thinking about you the whole way, guys.

I am relieved that Shane is leaving the group.

Now that he's with Jeff and ej, fine with me.

But I don't think we've heard the last of Shane.

Bye, girls.

-Bye. -Bye.

Shane: I am gonna miss this camp.

The camp was cool.

But I am not gonna miss the girls.

[ Clicks tongue ]

And good luck, Shane.

[ Laughs ]

My number-one fear about taking this journey

is venomous snakes.

There's relatives of the rattlesnake family.

There's fer-de-Lance snakes,

which is one of the most venomous snakes in the world.

So got to watch where I'm stepping.

It's gonna be a bit hot, but you know what?

This is what, you know, hardens you.

This is what makes you who you are.

Narrator: Their journey will take them seven miles

across the searing Savanna,

where the Equatorial sun sends temperatures

soaring to 110 degrees, and the humidity can hit 70%.

The Alpha males will cling

to the jungle's edge whenever possible,

but the most direct route

will over them no protection from the sun.

Ej: Just got to go for it.

Shane: Yeah, agreed.

Because we think it's hot now.

We haven't seen anything yet. -We ain't seen nothing.

In two hours, we're gonna be dying out here.

Ej: This Savanna and this heat is unbearable.

This is not for the faint of heart.

This is a real-life, real-danger struggle out here.

It's gonna be tough.

I'm not sure we can make it.

This is gonna be hell now.

Laura: All right. Another day, another dollar.

Another day, another mango.

Luke: My tongue takes like burning.

Every bite burns.

Narrator: In cao verde,

with so little protein available,

Laura, Eva, Dani, Chris, and Luke

suffer the effects of a diet

based almost entirely on unripe mangoes.

Chris: I just can't wait to eat one meal

where I actually get to chew some [bleep]

Eva: I know. It would be amazing.

The mangos wouldn't be so bad if they were ripe.

But because they're not ripe, you have to cook them,

and they're so much more acidic.

And I have ulcers all over my tongue.

But it what it is.

It's our main staple at this point keeping us going.

It's got a lot of sugar.

When you don't have protein,

I guess sugar's the second-best thing.

So I guess it's a blessing in disguise.

But, yeah, I won't be in any hurry to go buy mangos

when I get home, that's for sure.

Luke: It's never wise

to leave fire, shelter, water, you know?

But if we're making it 40 days,

we got to find another food source.

Narrator: With their resources dwindling,

the group dries out the last of their mango supply

in the hot sun to prepare for a potential move.

Eva: The amount of food that we're putting into our bodies

is tiny and nutritionally incomplete.

You can only eat so many mangos,

and mangos can only make you so strong.

I mean, once we cross that 21-day line,

nobody know what happens.

And what we need if we're gonna make it strong to day 40

is protein.

And the only way to do that is to walk across that Savanna.

Chris: So, what are we thinking?

Eva: As far as hunting goes,

this is gonna be one of the most productive areas.

I think, as long as we can just kind of hightail it

across the Savanna, I think that's the best bet.

And then we'll be pretty close to extraction.

Narrator: The cao verde group plans a 6-mile hike

across the sunbaked Savanna to piranha lake,

which will put them on a collision course

with Jeff, ej, and Shane.

Now, halfway through the 40-day challenge,

the group must make the journey

while they still have enough strength.

Eva: Cool. It's a good plan.

We leave tomorrow. -Yep.

Laura: Looking at that map,

we're not sure exactly how far it is,

but it's longer than any of us have traveled out here,

so to sit here and stock up on our food and rest

is the smartest thing, survival-wise,

that we can be doing right now.

It's something that we want to plan well for.

We don't want to get caught out anywhere

and be in a situation we don't want to be in.

Laura: I'd rather not get caught

out in the sun all day with no shade.

Eva: Oh, forget it. That's a death sentence.

Is the pace okay?

Shane: I'm trying to keep up a little bit.

[ Sighs ]

It's [bleep] hot, man.

Narrator: On the Savanna, Jeff, ej, and Shane

are still three miles from their destination.

But as the day lengthens, the sun shows no mercy.

Ej: Ow!

-Cactus? -No.

Just that hard dirt.

We've been walking for probably five hours

through this heat of the day.

The ground's been rough.

Lava rocks, thorns, cactus everywhere.

And we're still going.

Oh, this is hard.

[ Groans ] Hot rock.

That [bleep] hurts.

Shane: My body is so weak,

and my left knee is balking at me.

It's nasty. It's hard. It's hot.

You know, it's difficult.

If there isn't protein when I get there,

I'm not gonna make day 40.

This is crazy.

Ej: Yeah.

When you have this wind going across a Savanna with that heat,

it convects all the moisture out of your body.

And when you only got a pot

that carries maybe 4 cups of water,

that's not a lot to go on.

We're in hell now, Jeff.

I didn't realize how much more difficult it could be.

-Yeah. -After I did 21 days,

it was the toughest thing I had ever done in my life.

Jeff: Couple days ago, it was day 21 --

this big, monumental day.

We all know that, normally, we'd be done by this time.

And we're just halfway.

I'm nervous about this one because 40 days --

that's plenty enough time to kill you.

Oh, man.

It's getting worse.

It's gonna get a whole lot worse.

Narrator: After covering six miles in seven hours,

the Alpha males are down to their last drops of water.

[ Groans ]

Ej: Look ahead -- there's an opening.

Jeff: Dude.

I'm crossing my fingers that when we walk in here,

we see good things.

Hey. Look up ahead.

You can see it's open.

I see what you're talking about.

I can see daylight through the trees up there.

Yeah.

Oh, my.

I think I see the lake, man.

-Dude, I see it. -I think I see the lake.

-Holy -- -oh!

-Oh! -Oh!

It's water!

-Water! -Yeah!

Shane: Whoo!

Narrator: Jeff, ej, and Shane have arrived at piranha lake,

home to some of Colombia's greatest underwater predators.

Oh.

And you know there's piranhas in here, yeah?

I guarantee you those eels are in there with them.

Piranha lake is a breeding ground

for aggressive electric eels that reach 7 feet in length

and generate shocks of up to 600 volts,

powerful enough to be fatal to humans.

Ej: This lake can give us life, or it can take it away.

There's anaconda in there.

There's caiman, piranha, more of those electric eels.

If they hit you while you're out there, you're done.

Not drinking this water without boiling it.

This is a dangerous place we're at, but you know what?

It's gonna be our savior.

It's gonna get us to day 40.

Ej: Nice job today, guys.

Way to walk. Way to kick that in the ass.

It was a good bonding day, I think.

Yeah.

That was our first test as a team.

And I'm just damn proud that I done it with you boys.

Yeah, man.

[ Voice breaking ] That was a hard [bleep] walk.

That was a tough one.

Whew.

Wouldn't have had it any other way.

[ Sniffles ] -Not one step.

I wouldn't have had it any other way.

That doesn't make it any easier.

Yep.

Or any less, you know, emotional.

Just, man... That sucked, man.

Today was really our first major event

we got to do with Shane.

And we solidified on that march

our partnerships, our team.

I needed that today,

'cause we're -- we're halfway through.

We're just past that Mark.

We're on the downhill.

And I wanted to march into this lake like a warrior,

and I felt that.

I think we should move back up to the flat spot

where the grass was kind of nice.

I'm game. Sounds good to me.

I don't think sheltering up in here is --

it would be good for us at night

for safety reasons and other things.

Up there, it's nice and flat.

I could sleep on that grass.

I don't think anything would bother us.

The three of us will put our heads together,

and we'll figure out a plan of attack

to get sustenance and get protein.

And then we're gonna get busy

and set up a decent lodge and start working.

Right now, this is Alpha team lake, baby.

That's right -- the alphas.

This is Alpha team lake.

All the resources here are ours.

[ Insects buzzing ]

[ Groans ]

So, we're gonna show you Laura's beautiful collection

of, uh, brand-new bee stings.

We got one, two, three, four, there,

and another one right there.

Yep.

I feel like [bleep] right now.

-Aw. -I can't move my neck.

It's all swollen.

That's the price you pay for living in the jungle.

I'm alive.

I got pounded by bees.

And I'm feeling a little bit out of it.

But these things happen.

And, um, I'm gonna go to bed -- shake it off.

Back to usual in the morning.

[ Insects buzzing ]

Jeff: It was a build-up getting to this beautiful lake,

this area where there's eel and big fish.

Like, holy cow, that's awesome.

Just as an expression of how dangerous this environment is,

it is 7:00 at night, and we all just pulled out

some serious blades and laid them next to us.

So that's how serious we're taking this moment.

[ Animal growls ]

[ Animal growls ]

He was close, wasn't he?

Jeff: Nothing is safe down by the lake

because there's a lot of stuff in that water,

and we have a lot of stuff

that can kill things in the water.

There will be blood.

You hear me?

There will be blood.

[ Rustling ]

Eva: Damn.

We did good on drying mangos.

Narrator: After deciding to move closer to extraction,

the cao verde group prepares for a long daytime trek.

Laura: We're headed out across the Savanna

to hopefully find a really good protein source.

But we don't know what we're gonna find.

We could get there and be really disappointed.

So having these mangos is kind of a little security blanket,

knowing that, no matter what,

we're gonna at least have a little bit of food

to get us through if we face hard times when we get there.

Luke: Fire's out.

Everyone got their original survival items,

everything important?

Yep.

-All right. -You guys ready?

-On the road. -Let's get across the Savanna.

I couldn't be happier that we came here,

but it is time to go.

We know there is potential

for some huge protein across the way.

And we need a big meal to split between five people.

So that needs to happen soon,

'cause day 40 is a long way away.

Thanks, camp.

-Yeah. -It's been good.

Laura: So long, swimming hole.

-Right? -Miss you.

Adios.

Narrator: The group is heading 6 miles

across the Savanna to piranha lake,

where the Alpha males have already set up camp.

Dani j.: We're gonna be hiking, and it's gonna be hot.

So I'm a little concerned about everybody

making it all the way there without any mishaps.

Lizard tracks all over.

Mm-hmm.

Chris: For me, the biggest dangers

are the ambush predators hiding in the grass.

There's no secret that the largest anacondas

in the world come from Colombia.

It's a pretty hellacious place.

The last thing I want to do

is get wrapped up or bit by a snake.

Luke: Already feels good to be out of there.

Eva: Just endless possibilities in front of us.

[ Bird cries ]

Try to bring this fire around.

Jeff: We'll get some food in us today

to just replenish some of our energy.

Shane: This is an inlet, so there's usually

really good fishing right on the inlet.

Narrator: After the exhausting journey to piranha lake,

ej, Jeff, and Shane need to find food quickly

so they'll have energy to build a shelter

in this hostile environment.

Ej: Was a pretty tough march yesterday.

And I woke up this morning,

my stomach was screaming to me with some hunger pains,

and I actually felt like I lost five pounds overnight.

It took a lot out of us yesterday,

and we knew, today, it was important

for us to do something about it.

Shane: I'm gonna go look

for some vines to make a fish basket.

I'm retying the hook again.

Okay.

Just to make sure it's strong and ready for us.

Jeff: This is the first time I've ever thrown a hook in this l

and I have no idea what's gonna come back

on the tip of this hook.

So, I'm hoping for a fish about 10 inches, you know?

I'd be very happy with a 10-inch fish.

[ Shane sighs ]

It's not like me to be this weak.

Everybody who knows me knows that I'm...

Really super strong.

And, uh....

This is a very odd experience for me to be this weak.

Jeff: Once that bobber goes under, we know they've taken the b

come on, just take it.

Holy [bleep] dude.

-What, bro? -[Bleep] Eel!

-What? -[Bleep] Eel!

Hold on! Hold on!

Let me get the fishing [bleep] man.

Man, it's a big 'UN.

Here, Mr. Eel.

Jeff: What if we beat him with a stick?

Would that work, if we beat him?

No.

They got a -- their head is so hard.

Come on in here just a little closer, man.

All right, he's cutting in.

Ej.

You got to get him right behind the head.

Got him.

-Nice. -Whoo!

-Nice! -Whoo!

Good stick, man.

I don't want him to electrocute me, dude.

When does his shock go away?

No, if he's pissed, he's already set it.

He's gonna try and dig into the dirt, dude.

I know.

[ Electricity zaps ] [ Groans ]

-You good? -Yeah.

I felt the -- I felt the elec--

[ electricity zaps ] Oh!

-He get you? -[ Groans ]

[ Shivers ]

Get back.

Jeff: When does his shock go away?

Ej: If he's pissed, he's already set it.

He's gonna try and dig into the dirt, dude.

I know.

Let's just let him -- [ electricity zaps ] [ Groans ]

-You good? -Yeah.

I felt the -- I felt the elec--

[ electricity zaps ] Oh!

Ej: He get you?

All right, get back, get back, get back.

Get back, get back. Get back.

He got me. It's dug into the ground firm.

Let's machete that bastard.

[ Electricity zaps ] [ Shouts ]

You're all right.

[ Growls ]

1,500 volts through my body!

-No! -I know, I know.

You [bleep]

See, we need to just hack the bitch.

Here, let me take a few whacks up high.

Yeah, baby.

[ Electricity zaps ] [ Screams ]

[ Shivers ]

[ Shivering ] Good job.

Catch your breath, dude.

[ Wheezing ]

Catch your breath.

The close you get to his head, the harder it is, dude.

Ooh.

He's still got shock in him.

-Let's just sit him there. -I'll take the knife.

See where I hacked it up high?

If you hack it right there real deep,

it might break his spine.

But I'm telling you, Shane, when it hits you,

it's like a horse kick to the chest.

Shane: I'm an electrician.

I've been rapped hard, man -- hard.

We can't let him get away, guys.

Can't let him get away.

Oh, we cannot let him get away.

[ Electricity zaps ] [ Screams ]

Son of a bitch!

We broke his spine.

Yeah, I cut him in half.

-Ready? -Look at all that meat.

That's in half, Jeff. Don't lose it.

Ej: I got to get out of the ground a little bit.

Yeah. All right.

[ Electricity zaps ] [ Shivering ]

Still bad.

-He's still nasty, huh? -Yeah.

Get him up onto shore.

He's got him. Ej's got him.

If you need me, I'm here.

Oh, dude.

Yeah!

Yeah!

[ All cheering ]

Jeff: My man!

Yes!

Black rock boys!

Yeah!

I am so happy.

We are gonna eat so much protein tonight.

Shane: I've never seen one that big before.

It means the world that we took that march to get here,

because this is everything.

This morning just proved why we needed to be here.

Protein heaven.

Yes!

We needed this meal.

We needed it to save us from tapping.

You came in with your knife, you hacked it.

That's a team -- that's a team kill.

Dude, you're as much in this as everyone else, man.

You got in there, you got a taste of it, and helped.

Jeff: We would not have gotten that eel without Shane today.

Shane has stepped up to the plate,

and I couldn't be happier with my two teammates.

Yeah, that's probably --

that's probably about 45 pounds, right there.

50 pounds.

We've traveled many, many hard, grueling miles to get here.

And I am so glad we came when we did

because this meal may have just got us to day 40.

That's the meal we needed.

Yeah, baby!

Chris: My feet hate me so much right now.

Laura: Well, at least there's a sweltering, hot breeze.

Narrator: Four hours into their journey,

the cao verde group has only made it three miles,

less than halfway across a Savannah

covered in lava rocks and razor-sharp grass.

Laura: The ground is really hot right now.

I feel it under my feet.

It's scorching down on the ground.

Eva: Are we headed towards the right mountains for sure?

Pretty sure.

We're exhausted, we're dehydrated, we're hot.

We don't know the exact distance that we're gonna be traveling,

and miles take on a whole different meaning

when you're on day 24 of a survival challenge.

So, I'm thinking, if we just keep walking

towards our shadows and a little bit to the left,

that puts us in a good bearing.

-Totally. -You agree?

Keep an eye on those mountains out ahead,

and we should be going in the right direction.

Yeah.

No one's walked this far on day 24.

And to not know exactly how far it is

and how hard it's gonna be, I mean, that makes me nervous.

Jeff: Everything is so dang slippery.

Sometimes, I'm having an issue keeping everything still.

Yeah, just make sure I don't get grabbed by a caiman.

Shane: I got you, bro.

That's why I'm sitting here with a spear.

For the first time since I've been here,

I am getting real protein.

I mean, for the first 21 days I was out here,

I didn't get a single piece of protein other than a cashew.

So that's why I'm weaker than these boys are,

and I am dying for a [bleep] real feast.

[ Chuckles ]

Jeff: We're not gonna get any sleep

because we're gonna be busy eating all night long.

We're in bad shape right now.

We're skinny.

We're getting dizzy when we stand up.

We're getting weak and fatigued.

This meal is gonna make us three strong men once again.

The way it's sitting, the mango juices

should slide down into the meat.

That is a lot of meat, boys.

We are definitely gonna feel like different people tomorrow.

Shane: I am really excited that these two guys

are putting their ass on the line with me out here.

That's all I ever wanted, was partners and teammates

that are gonna put their ass on the line.

And they did, and we worked together

and got an amazing source of protein.

That's a pretty sight right there, boys.

Jeff: It certainly is.

Shane: That's what I'm talking about.

That's worth the electrocutions this morning.

All right, we're almost there.

We should pray.

Father, we come before you today so thankful.

You blessed us today with a bountiful feast.

Thank you for Jeff's sharp eye, teamwork,

and all everybody's efforts in getting this today.

We ask that you let this food nourish our bodies,

keep us healthy, so that we can make it

all the way to the end together on day 40.

Amen.

-Amen. -Amen.

Laura: Well, hey, there.

-What in the world? -What in the world?

Shane: There's a whole freaking clan of them.

What just happened?

Shut up!

-What's going on, guys? -What?

Oh, my gosh.

What is this?

Jeff: Came just in time for dinner.

[ Laughs ]

Wow.

-Yeah! -Hack it!

Jeff: We got this, baby!

[ Both cheering ]

Narrator: On this 40-day survival quest,

each group earns a "naked and afraid xl" rating,

or xlr, which tracks their progress, skill, and teamwork.

This week, ej and Jeff add a third Alpha male

to the roca diablo group

and make the biggest kill of the challenge,

sending their score skyrocketing to 8.5.

Danielle and Alana's decision to stay behind in El bosque

and stockpile resources raises their xlr to 6.0.

And with more mouths to feed and their inability

to find a significant source of food,

the cao verde group's score falls to 7.5.

For more information, go to discovery.Com.

Pray this in Jesus' name.

Amen.

-Amen. -Amen.

Laura: Well, hey, there.

What in the world?

What in the world?

There's a whole freaking clan of them.

What just happened?

Shut up!

Oh, my gosh.

What is this?

Wow.

Ej: Is this all of you guys?

-It's all of us. -All of us.

I can't help but notice that you're cooking something.

-Yeah, no [bleep] -Cooking a lot of something.

Is this one eel, or -- Shane: It's one 6 foot eel.

We caught it. We worked hard for it.

And we deserve the lion's share, always, of our meal.

But here comes five people who obviously been walking

for quite some time in the Savanna -- hot, tired.

And we got all this food in front of them.

Should we sit down? Yeah, let's sit down.

Let me grab my thing really quick.

Ej: You may need something from them later on,

so you got to start thinking,

"hmm, what is the right gesture?"

But, ej and Shane, tell me what you think.

I mean, this is our feast,

but we would love to share some meat with you.

I mean, if -- yeah, I'm -- it's a very gracious offer.

-Appreciate it. -Thank you, man.

-I won't say no. Thank you. -You're welcome.

Jeff: I feel like we did the Christ-like thing,

and we offered them meat.

Thanks, guys.

It's totally good.

Thank you.

And I hope they appreciated it.

That's up to them, but it was a nice gesture.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, my god.

Hopefully, it's a token of peace

that we can maintain through the next 17 days.

Well, you guys mind if we -- sorry to dine and dash --

but if we just go settle up.

Go get rest.

-Go get rest. -Is that cool, man?

Camp out. Get your firewood going, whatever.

We'll see you guys tomorrow.

And you guys will feel it tomorrow.

Yeah, I bet we will.

Dani j.: I definitely would love to talk more with the boys,

but I think right now, we really need to focus

on the fact that we need to figure out

what our new home is like, see what's going on around here

and where we want to stay.

Luke: Oh, man.

Mmm.

It's exactly what I needed.

-All right, cheers. -Cheers.

Cheers, you guys.

Eva: Mmm.

Oh, protein.

It's what we've been needing.

Luke: You know, after our little expedition across the Savanna,

some of the people in our group were getting a little grumpy,

a little dehydrated -- things like that.

Feet were hurting, so, yeah, that bite of eel,

that's what we have been dying for as a group.

I'm not saying we're gonna join them, but it definitely --

I see advantages with having a bigger group at times,

especially, you know, when everyone's on the same page.

I'm going to become an eel [bleep] hunter.

Oh, my god.

Oh, that is the best housewarming present ever.

I'm kind of stressed out.

Why?

Well, because, um...

I just don't want that every time I kill something,

people expect me to share it between 10 people.

That's not feasible.

You can't split one fish between 10 people.

And that's why we have to set rules,

and we have to set up a structure

that people are responsible for their own food

within individual groups.

I agree.

And I don't want drama.

-Nope. -I don't want drama.

All these people down here,

all fighting for the same resources?

This could get wild, and it could get nasty.

And I just hope to stay out of the drama.

But let's -- let's enjoy our feast.

We prayed on it.

You know, let's focus on that, all right.

-Okay, all right. -All right.

-I got your back. -Okay.

We'll deal with that tomorrow.

-All right. -Tonight is this.

[ Snoring ]

[ Rustling ]

[ Animal growls ]

-What? -Get up!

Dude, what?!

Hey!

What?

[Bleep] Cat. He was like [growls]

Yeah.

Really?

All right.

We'll on full alert.

All three of us are up.

Big cat just tried to come in here.

Probably smelled our eel.

But he ain't getting no free handouts tonight, kitty cat.

Ej, get your blade.

-It's by that tree branch. -I see it.

[ Animal growls ]

[ All shouting ]

[ Animal growls ]

Narrator: Coming up on "naked and afraid xl"...

I don't know what the [bleep] it is I've done wrong.

Why are you still here?

Everybody else is going [bleep] nuts.

Luke: I hate being so weak.

Alana: You all right?

Oh, geez, he's big.

This is the dumbest [bleep] I've ever done in my life.

[ Electricity zaps ] [ Screams ]
