[ Buzzing ]

Medic: That’s very important, not to touch your foot at all

with your hands, or avoid contact.

Oh! Crap!

We’re being picked off one by one by this jungle.

It’s like this jungle’s, like, hunting us.

Like, this is it.

Let’s do this. Oh!

I just knew it was gonna be bad.

Narrator: Deep in the heart of the Amazon jungle,

nine "naked and afraid" veterans

are tackling an unthinkable survival challenge --

to endure 40 days and 40 nights

in the most remote wilderness on the planet.

-[ Gasps ] -Aah!

Narrator: To make it out alive,

they must master the environment... [ gasps ]

[ Thunder ] Holy [bleep]!

And push the limits of human endurance.

-[ Gasps ] -[ Screaming ]

Call a medic. Narrator: Then,

for the first time ever...

What is that? The survivalists

are stunned by unexpected guests.

Oh, my god!

I did not see that coming.

Narrator: As worlds collide... holy [bleep].

Narrator: On "naked and afraid XL."

after two weeks

in the bug-infested jungles of the Amazon,

only six survivalists remain.

At Rio Mortal... holy [bleep].

Lacey’s sudden injury forced her out of the challenge...

[ Grunts ] Okay. Leaving Amber and Giovanna

to struggle without a leader.

At Punta Araña, major successes on both land and water...

Holy [bleep] dude!

Yeah, buddy.

Led Matt and Russell to set out in search of new lands.

Hello? Hi!

What up, y’all?

Giovanna: You guys are actually thriving out here.

Now y’all are thriving.

And in Laguna Negra,

Shannon’s struggle with lack of sleep

and extreme hunger worsened.

Don’t -- just don’t talk.

I keep feeling like you’re telling me to leave.

[ Growling softly ]

We haven’t had a fish in about three days now.

Oh, yes, we’re definitely...

Feeling very tired and lethargic.

They’re just not biting.

Yeah, I doubt they’re gonna want this.

This is just old.

Shannon: Now, the hunger, you know, it’s a real issue.

It’s really hard to be going days without food.

I definitely have a greater tendency to nap a little,

but Fernando’s like my brother, so we’re probably still fine.

Fernando: We know there are other teams out there,

and two people deep in the jungle versus...

A whole community out there.

To me, it seems like the way to go.

How’s your energy feel now?

Um, low.

You know, the way the fishing has dried up here,

it almost feels like a sign to move on.

Going on with, like, no freaking, um,

reserves whatsoever,

I don’t know how well my body’s gonna tolerate that, you know?

Will it work? It’s scary for us.

If we keep not getting food

and we kind of maroon ourselves here,

you know, like, at what point do we have to, like,

take a leap of faith and go for it,

versus being stuck here and never being able to leave

’cause we’re too weak.

Well, yeah, yeah, for sure.

What are you thinking?

Do you think you want to leave in the morning?

Yeah.

That seems like the right thing to do.

The car’s already packed. Let’s go.

[ Chuckles ]

Let’s do it. Get out of here.

I think the roof looks amazing.

It should be pretty darn good.

I’m gonna put a couple more on there

just to help keep ’em tight.

Well, you guys just really made our day.

I just want you to know that.

[ Laughs ]

I’m hoping we can continue more of that success out here.

Nice.

This challenge completely changed 48 hours ago.

We didn’t actually have that actual protein

that we needed that Matt brought to the table

and so did Russell with the cast net,

bringing in fish.

I’m gonna get a big tree and cut --

I’m gonna attach it to there

all the way to that tree over there.

Amber: If you wanted a warrior in the Amazon,

it’s Matt Wright.

I’m gonna hand you this pole.

Put it on the other side of that pole.

He’s incredibly knowledgeable.

His skill set’s on point.

And then put it right on top of the center,

very center.

He’s like a tank.

He can tear down one tree with one swipe.

He’s intelligent, smart, good-looking,

and to top it off, he is incredibly nice.

We really can’t ask for much more.

Yeah, that’ll work.

Yeah, that is looking really nice.

It’s awesome to have a tall person do this.

Looks like it’s clearing up. We can actually go down

to the water and get some fish, but one person

has to watch the fire, and then you guys are gonna,

obviously, throw the net and catch?

Yep.

I would love to try a couple throws, too.

Um, we’re not doing instructional videos

in the morning.

We will teach you all how to use the net.

But this is another thing.

I know you all said y’all don’t want to be taken care of,

y’all want to help out, so we want y’all to cook,

so that’s kind of like we catch, you cook.

Mm-hmm. Perfect.

Thank you, ladies.

That warms my heart.

Amber: And then there’s Russell, who is very outspoken.

He’s very forward.

He has the mentality of he just doesn’t give a crap,

and we just look at each other like, "where do you come from?"

Gentlemen, I wish you the best of luck in catching fish.

Y’all working for it tomorrow.

You know, I think we definitely made the right call on moving.

Right now, we got four people.

That’s a couple more mouths to feed,

but it’s kind of that extra challenge.

You know, can I step up and, you know, help out all four?

Look at that.

[ Chuckles ]

Pretty good.

That’ll work for me.

Didn’t like the girls being hungry, either.

No, I definitely didn’t like the girls being hungry.

Russell: Matt and I show up and we provide.

It’s kind of like the male instinct,

that we need to provide for the ladies.

How about a celebratory fist bump for that [bleep]?

Bam. Bam!

Hey, welcome home!

We have enough food now to feed a small army...

[ Gasps ] Or four naked people.

Good job. Check that out.

Russell: Yeah, we have probably double what we got the other day.

They’re coming in, man.

All right, well, ladies, look how big that bad boy is.

That’s amazing. Good meat.

This one is gonna have to go to Matt and I.

You know, Matt and I, we earned him.

So these are yours.

But for now, we’ll just make this a stew.

Right, I would love to make a stew.

Whoa-ho.

That... is a turtle shell.

All kinds of, like, claw marks on this guy.

If I had to guess, a Jaguar was trying to get to this guy,

and looks like he did.

That means there’s a Jaguar here who killed this thing recently.

I definitely have come concerns about this big trek tomorrow.

There’s definitely a feel now that we’re almost

at the mercy of this jungle.

Check this out.

So it looks like a Jaguar got to it.

[ Gasps ] No flippin’ way. Yeah.

Something very angry and large killed this guy.

Definitely a reminder that things are out here.

Our last day at this camp.

Tomorrow is gonna be the hardest physical day

we’ve had the whole time we’ve been here.

[ Animal growling in distance ]

Oh, my god.

It’s in the jungle.

It’s like right behind us.

[ Creaking ]

[ Loud rustling ]

It crawled under our tarp thing.

Jeez.

Matt: It’s the morning of day 16, and I’m on the hunt.

If it moves, I’m gonna try to hunt it.

It’s always a tossup between whether you go hunt

or whether you go fish.

We get a few fish, that’s nothing compared

to harvesting a big old pig.

I grew up as a sportsman.

My dad always had me either up in the mountains or out fishing.

As a hunter, I’ve dreamed about hunting with bow in the Amazon.

You know, it’s a dream come true.

Enjoy dangerous situations, and this?

This is dangerous.

Shannon: I think we should start heading south towards this pig.

If I had to pick a spot, I’d go by a pig.

Looks like there’d probably be some fishing over

in that marshy area,

so it’s probably a good spot that we’d find some people.

A lot of jungle between here and there.

This is obviously very dangerous.

I really want to be careful.

Let’s do it.

All right. Let’s go for it.

Good-bye.

That’s it, no going back now.

Off to new adventures.

Shannon: It’s, like, hard as [bleep]

To navigate through those black palms.

Ow!

Argh! I hate those [bleep]!

[ Grunts ]

I think I’d be a little upset if there was no people.

I’d be like, "why did we leave?"

[ Animal growls in distance ]

Shannon, hold up. Hold up.

[ Growling continues ]

There’s something angry out there.

[ Animal growls in distance ]

Shannon, hold up. Hold up.

[ Growling continues ]

There’s something angry out there.

Oh.

Let’s be careful.

All right. Ah, [bleep].

Damn it!

Black palm piece of [bleep].

Ah!

Narrator: The razor-sharp thorns of the black palm

can grow to over six inches long

and sometimes carry dangerous bacteria.

Matt: I feel like something shot me in the [bleep] toe.

It hurt like hell.

Shannon: All right, let’s see.

Where -- which way do we navigate this?

[ Sighs ] I hate [bleep]...

That is definitely... Some quicksand in there.

I definitely feel excruciatingly hungry, very dehydrated, thirst.

It’s just hard trying to walk.

[Chuckling] I swear I just heard a voice

that doesn’t come from the jungle normally.

I see smoke. Is that a shelter?

Oh, my god, it’s a shelter!

Hello! Hello?

Anybody there? Ah!

That’s a shelter! Oh, my goodness!

Ow! Woo!

Oh, my god! Amber! There’s Amber!

Oh, my goodness!

[ Chuckling ] This is amazing!

So good to see you!

Welcome to our home!

We have one more. He’s hunting right now.

-Oh. -Yeah, Matt’s out.

Matt is out hunting. He’s already caught a pig.

He caught a pig already?

With Russell, before they got here.

They got a huge pig and smoked it, yeah.

Yeah, dude, look. I’m still working on my gut.

Come on in. Thank you.

Fernando: Once we turned the corner and saw the other group,

it was just awesome.

They were super receptive, super upbeat.

We knew we had come upon a good thing.

So does Matt hunt every day?

We call him the Amazon warrior.

Really? He’s like -- this is like his world?

This is his world. He’s meant to be here.

So, he’s exempt from, like -- like, firewood.

Keep Matt hunting.

No, he does everything we do, and even though -- he says,

"even though I’m a hunter and I’m bringing the pig,"

he goes, "it is our pig, it is not my pig."

That’s like -- you guys are just chopped liver, I guess.

Matt is definitely a go-getter.

Matt!

Hi, Matt.

Look who it is!

Holy [bleep].

We were just in the area.

Nice to meet you, man. How are you?

Good to see you, buddy. Oh, man.

Good to be here, man. Good to...

How the hell are you? Just you?

-No, I want to you meet -- -I’m Shannon.

Shannon. I’ll give you a hug.

All right. Nice to meet you, Matt.

Really good to be here, man.

You guys have a good thing going, it looks like.

We heard about your boar kill, man.

That’s -- how awesome is that?

Hopefully we get more.

Are y’all hungry?

All right, this is our lagoon.

Shannon: Oh, man.

It’s like a whole different world.

It’s so less jungly.

Fernando: It’s not even fair how easy that is.

Russell: Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah!

Fernando: That would be like three hours I was fishing.

Matt: You guys, we’re using our fishing boat.

Shannon: I’m really glad I stuck it out.

I’m so happy right now.

I’m so freaking hungry. I can’t wait to eat that.

I’m so excited.

Russell: I mean, it doesn’t get more perfect than that, bro.

-[Bleep] -[ Chuckling ]

Matt: Oh, buddy!

Whoo!

Hey, we need help!

Too many fish!

Too many!

Fernando: This is my first day here,

and this is what we’ve produced in the last hour,

which is incredible.

There’s serious thriving happening here.

Russell: This is y’all’s celebratory meal.

Eat as much as you can eat.

-High fiver, high fiver! -High five!

Fernando: So, guys, how’s it feel to dominate?

Matt: A good feeling, I have to say.

Here’s the tribe in all its glory.

-Yeah! Yeah! -Yeah, buddy!

-Whoo! -Whoo!

It’s pretty awesome, pretty awesome first day.

Matt: Oh, geez.

Matt, are you okay?

My foot feels like it’s on fire.

Russell: Black palm?

Yeah.

I got real deep one in there.

I can’t even bend my toes anymore.

I mean, look at that right there.

That’s all I got.

It hurts like hell.

Ah.

Your foot okay?

It’s hurting.

Fernando: What?

That toe here is -- like, this whole part

of my foot hurts like hell.

Almost want to call the medic, but I don’t.

Shannon: That looks bad.

Let’s get a medic. Medic!

Matt: It hurts to curl my toes.

That’s, like, the main problem.

Definitely could be.

I’ve had them right there recently.
