Because It'S Going To Get Real.

[ Elephant Trumpets ]

Steven: Ryan?! [ Whistles ]

Ryan?!

Oh, No, His Spear'S Here. That'S Weird.

Yeah, That Is Kind Of Strange.

'Cause It'S The Heat Of The Day.

There'S No Way He Should Be Running Around.

And All Of His Tools Are Here.

Ryan?! [ Whistles ]

[ Lions Growling And Roaring ]

¶â¶

It'S Night 28.

There'S Lions Out There.

My Diaphragm Is Killing Me.

It'S Probably Like An 8 Out Of 10 Pain.

[Bleep]

[ Retching ]

God.

9 Out Of 10 Pain.

10 Out Of 10 -- I'M Passing Out.

There'S Lions. I Can Hear Lions.

This Is Not The Best Time To Be Sick.

Oh, My God.

It Hurts So Bad.

God.

[Bleep]

[ Men Singing In Foreign Language ]

Narrator: Africa -- The Most Primal Place On Earth.

A Merciless Land Of Predators And Prey.

Here, Searing Temperatures Blast The Landscape,

Creating South Africa'S Worst Drought In 50 Years.

Now 12 "Naked And Afraid" Veterans

Will Put Their Lives On The Line And Attempt The Impossible...

Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!

...To Survive This Unforgiving Wilderness

For 40 Days And 40 Nights.

Ha!

On "Naked And Afraid," They'Ve Already Endured 21 Days Of Hell.

[ Crying ] I'M Not Quitting. I'M Gonna Do It.

Narrator: Now It'S Hunt Or Be Hunted...

Stacey: I Feel Like I'M Being Watched. I Feel Like I'M Being Stalked.

[ Indistinct Shouting ]

Narrator: ...In A Desperate Fight For Food And Water.

[ Lions Roaring ]

They'Re All Around Our Camp Right Now.

To Make It Out Alive, They Must Master The Environment,

Push The Limits Of Human Endurance,

And Survive Each Other For 40 Days.

Holy [Bleep]

Stacey: I Think It'S Gonna Be Tremendously Difficult...

Aah!

...And It'S Gonna Hurt.

I Can'T Breathe.

I'M Going To Dehydrate And Die.

This Is So Much Harder Than I Thought It Would Be.

[ Siren Wails ]

Fear Will Kill You. If You Panic, You'Re Gonna Die.

[ Screaming ]

[ Voice Breaking ] Make The Pain Stop, Please.

Please! [ Crying ]

Narrator: This Is "Naked And Afraid Xl."

There'S More Dangerous Animals Out Here

Than Anyplace I'Ve Ever Been In The World,

So I'M Not Gonna Lie, It'S Nerve-Racking.

Damn, Look At That Elephant!

21 Days Is A Challenge, But Now I Got 40.

So, We'Re Basically Doubling

What The Human Body Is Capable Of.

Steven: There'S Giraffes, Wildebeest.

Oh, My God. That Is So Crazy.

Stacey: I'M Extremely Concerned.

If We Don'T Have Our Wits About Us,

We'Re Gonna Be Victims Of This Place.

We Could Die Really Easily.

Jake: 21 Days Is One Thing, But 40'S Entirely Different.

You Can'T Let Your Guard Down For A Half-Second.

All Right.

Clarence: My Job For The Next 40 Days Is To Stay Alive.

I Mean, This Is Next-Level Biblical.

Like, This Is, Like, Adam And Eve After We Got Kicked Out.

Here We Go.

Just Got Real.

Nobody'S Qualified To Be Out Here Naked For 40 Days.

I Don'T Care Who You Are, How Big Of A Survivalist You Are,

This Is "Naked And Afraid Xl."

This Is 40 Days.

This Is 12 People.

This Is In Africa, With The Biggest, Baddest,

Meanest Predators On The Planet.

And It'S All Gonna Start Right Here.

Let'S Do This.

You'Re Welcome, South Africa!

Narrator: The Challenge Takes Place

In The Foothills Of Africa'S Lebombo Mountains.

Here The 12 Survivalists Begin Their Challenge

In Four Groups Of Three,

Each Reflecting A Unique Social Dynamic.

In The West, One Woman Joins Forces With Two Men

In A Disparate Trio Of Survivalists

With Conflicting Strategies.

They'Ll Descend Sotho Gorge,

A Dry, Narrow Canyon Plagued By Scorching Temperatures

And Legions Of Bloodthirsty Ticks.

This Is Ridiculously Hot.

People See Me, And They Say, "Hey, This Guy'S From Baltimore.

How'S He Gonna Make It, You Know?

He Didn'T Grow Up Hunting. He'S Not A Mountain Man."

But I'Ve Been Homeless.

I'Ve Lived On The Street.

I'Ve Made It Through The 21 Days.

I'M Not The Best Swimmer, But This Is The Only Way.

It'S The Only Way.

I Will Endure.

Hello.

Hi!

I'M Assuming That You'Re Here Doing

The Same Thing I'M Doing.

Right. I Hope So, Or Else...

We'Re Really Lost. Oh, I'M Stacey.

I'M Clarence. Nice To Meet You.

Nice To Meet You.

Last Time I Did The Challenge... Aah!

I Was Burned Over 10% Of My Body With Boiling Water.

And They Made Me Leave Because There Was A Risk Of Infection.

So It Looks Like There'S Water Along This Ravine.

I Am Here For Redemption.

Careful Of These Thorns Right Here.

That Looks Like A Porcupine Quill.

That'S Encouraging.

Porcupine'S Good Eatin'.

Ohh! Ohh!

It'S So Hot.

Oh, Hey.

Hey! I Am So Glad To See You,

But I Am So Much Happier To See That Pot, Dude.

Narrator: With Water Scarce, Each Group Is Supplied With A Pot.

All Right.

In Addition, Each Survivalist Has Brought

A Blade And A Personal Survival Tool.

I'M Jake.

Hi, Jake. I'M Stacey.

Nice To Meet You.

Stacey: Oh, God. That Was Hell, Dude.

I'M Clarence.

Nice To Meet You, Clarence.

Well, Okay. I'Ll Definitely Remember It Now.

Thanks...For That Little Tidbit.

I Saw It Looked Like There Was A Bit Of A Pool Upstream,

So I Was Hoping Maybe For Water.

It Looks Like It Opens Up Just A Little Bit.

Shall We Do It? Yeah, Let'S Do It.

God, That'S Blistering.

Oh!

Holy [Bleep] Look At This Skull.

Here'S Another Skull.

This Must Be Where Everybody Goes To Die.

[ Chuckles ]

Stacey Seems Like A Sweetheart.

She Seems Pretty Badass.

Lots Of Thorns.

Tired And Hot.

I'M Very Tired. Very Hot.

Clarence Seems To Be Very Vocal...

It'S So Hot!

It'S [Bleep]Damn-Diculous.

...Jovial...

If Moses Could Do It For 40 Days, We Can.

...And Loud.

Oh [Bleep]

Aah!

This Heat Is Causing Me To Be Nauseous.

The Only Thing That Would Make Me Happy

Is Awesome, Delicious, Regular Amounts Of Water.

I See Water.

Stacey: Whoo! Yeah!

Yeah!

Oh, There'S The Tiniest [Bleep] Pond.

This Is Some Nasty-Looking Water.

I Mean, It'S Disgusting, But I Was Downstream

From You Guys A Ways, And There Was No Pools There.

So, That'S The Only Water Source We Found.

Uh, Guys, This Is Elephant Poop.

It Sure Is.

The Water Has Got Poop In It, And It'S Still,

Which Means There'S All Kinds Of Stuff Living In It.

You Know, It'S Imperative That We Boil It,

And...Hopefully, That Will Be Enough.

All Right, Let'S Go Build A Nice, Safe Shelter.

We'Ll Be Good Tonight.

Being Here Long-Term, I Think, Would Be A Mistake.

Narrator: Two Miles To The South,

An All-Male Group Of Strong-Willed Hunters

Must Push Past Their Pride In Order To Succeed.

They'Ll Make Camp At Pondo Ravine Among Thorny Slopes

Heavily Trafficked By Herds Of Elephants.

Hey, I Think I See Someone.

What Is That?

What Do I See Over The Ridge Over There?!

Whoo! Yeah!

What'S Up, Man?

Hell, Yeah. Naked Hugs, Dude. [Bleep] It.

[ Laughs ] Ohh! Yeah!

Good To See You, Man. What'S Up, Dude?

Nice. Steven.

Hey, Man. I'M Ryan. Pleasure, Dude.

Angel. Angel.

Oh, My God. I'M So Glad We Got --

I Can Already Tell The [Bleep] Man Vibe Going On Here.

Everybody I'Ve Ever Talked To About This Challenge

Tells Me It Can'T Be Done, And I Love That.

Look At The Heart. It'S Still Beating A Little Bit.

That'S Sick. Damn Right.

'Cause I'M The King Of The Forest.

But I'M Steven Lee Hall Jr.

I Mean, There'S Nothing I Can'T Do.

Let'S Do It, Boys.

Ryan: Being In A Group With Three Guys,

I Don'T See Too Much Drama Happening,

Especially With Our Personalities.

I Don'T Want To Jinx It, But This Is Gonna Be Too Easy.

Team Kick-Ass Right Here, Dude!

I Know We'Re Gonna Be Very Successful.

I'M Gonna Try To Find Some Shade

Where We'Re Gonna Build A Shelter.

Yeah, For Sure.

Oh, My God. Dude, Look -- Elephants.

Ryan: Wow.

There'S A Whole Herd Of Elephant Behind Me.

How Crazy Is That?

You Know, There Are No Cages Out Here.

These Animals Can Kill You.

Oh, This Is A Good Spot. I Like This.

We Got Some Big Trees Around Us Already.

That'S The Middle, Pretty Much Where Your Pot Is.

And Then Build Diameter Around It.

Sounds Good.

Narrator: To Defend Against Predators,

The Survivalists Have No Choice But To Employ Tribal Tactics

And Build Thorny, Spiked Barricades, Or Bomas,

Around Their Camps.

The Areas In Between The Trees,

We Can Put A Bunch Of Thorn Bushes.

Just A Lot Of Brush In The Way To Deter Those Animals

That, You Know, Want To Eat Us.

Narrator: Four Miles To The Southeast,

Three Determined Women Will Test Their Ability To Survive

As An All-Female Trio At Swati Valley,

A Virtual Oasis In The Parched Foothills.

The Valley'S Steep Terrain Traps Precious Water

And Draws Prey... And Predators From Miles Around.

Tawny: So Hot.

How Do You Guys Feel About This Area?

That Tree'S Amazing 'Cause It'S So, Like,

Shading This Area, You Know?

I Was Thinking Of Starting Fire And Getting Some Water Going.

Cool.

How Do You Guys Feel About That?

Alyssa: Yeah.

I'M Really Glad That I'M In An All-Girls Group

'Cause I Just -- I Like Hanging Out With Girls.

And Sometimes Males Intimidate Me.

Smoking.

Wait, Wait, It'S Still There.

Hell, Yeah.

I Don'T Think That Men Are Necessarily Stronger Than Women

At Surviving, But I Believe A Male Would Be

The Best Complement To My Survival Style.

So, We'Ll See How It Goes, I Guess.

Alyssa: I Was Thinking Of Starting The Shelter.

We'Re Gonna Want It Tonight, For Sure.

[Bleep]

Oh, My God. Are You Okay?

Whoa, That One Hurt.

I Stepped On A Really Big Thorn.

I Mean, Look At The Spikes On That Tree.

Ohh, That'S Deep.

We Don'T Have To Finish This Shelter Today.

We Have All Day Tomorrow.

We Can'T Waste Too Much Time.

We Can Always Improve It. Exactly.

We Just Need To Get Something

For Night Critters Rolling On Us.

[ Sighs ] Ooh!

That'S A Good Wake-Up Call.

Narrator: Five Miles To The East,

A Reclusive Survivalist Contends With Two Tough Women

At Tsonga Basin, An Area Of Blistered, Rocky Terrain

That Amplifies The Punishing Heat.

Just Follow This Game Trail. All Trails Lead To Water.

This Ground Is Rough.

Mm. I'M Just Glad I'M Not Alone.

Yeah. I'M Still Soaking That In.

Kim: My Last Challenge, I Was Alone For 17 Days,

And I Had To Really Rely On Myself.

With Three People, It'S Strength In Numbers.

That'S More Hands, And I Think We'Ll Make A Great Team.

Man, It Is Hot As [Bleep] Out Here, If Anyone'S Wondering.

[ Chuckles ]

Carrie: Most Of My Survival Skills,

I Gained In My Four Years In The Marine Corps.

I'M Feminine, But I Think The People That Are Close To Me

Would Say That I Am Very Tough.

You Know, I Spent My Childhood In The Country,

And Then I Joined The Marine Corps When I Was 18.

Yeah, That'S Pretty Cool.

For A Girl To Be A Marine, I Mean, That'S Hard-Core.

So, I Mean, That Tells A Lot About Her Toughness.

Like, There'S Something Inside Of Her

That I Don'T Think Will Give Up.

There'S A Lot Of Trees Pushed Over Right Here,

So We Know There'S Big Animals Hanging Out.

Yeah.

I Have Indigenous Living Skills.

I'M A Quarter Shoshone,

And I Started Studying The Old Ways When I Was A Small Child.

This Was Somebody'S Scratching Post.

Uh-Oh. Territory.

But It'S Definitely Important To Have Three People Out Here.

I'D Prefer To Have 6 People, 12 People, Especially, You Know,

In A Dangerous Situation Like This.

There'S Water. Hell, Yeah.

I'M Definitely Dehydrated Already.

Approach Very Cautiously.

[ Creature Growls ]

Oops. Stop.

I Just Heard Something Moving Down There.

What In The Hell Is That?

See The Warthogs Over There?

[Bleep] No, That'S Two Lions.

[Bleep] They'Re Both Staring Straight At Us.

Oh, I Know.

Holy [Bleep]

I'M Actually Scared.

I Mean, It Would Only Take Like A Couple Seconds,

And "Krch!" That'S It.

Carrie: [Bleep] There Are Lions Right At Our Water Source.

I Am [Bleep] Terrified.

Definitely Doesn'T Feel Like A Game.

[ Lions Growling ]

[ Whimpers ]

Narrator: After Sundown In The African Bush, Predators Rule The Night.

Under Cover Of Darkness, Carnivores Such As Lions

And Hyenas Can See Six Times Better Than Humans.

[ Creatures Howling ]

So, I'M First Watch.

And I Swear To God, Something'S Moving Around Out There.

I Don'T Know What It Is, But It'S Pretty Freaking Sketchy.

[ Lions Growling And Roaring ]

We'Re All Awake Right Now.

It Sounds Like There'S A Lion Right Behind Our Camp.

[ Growling And Roaring Continues ]

So [Bleep] Scary.

Morning One In The Books.

How You Feeling There, Ryan?

[ Laughs ] Uh, A Little Rough.

Yeah.

I Thought I Heard A Big Cat Less Than 200 Yards Out.

Didn'T Get Eaten, So...1, Us.

Hey, Guys!

Warthogs.

They Were Very Skittish.

We'D Have To Get Up There In The Morning

And Really Post Up Shop.

There'S No Sneaking Up On These Things.

Yeah, It Would Be A Hell Of A Kill.

We All Need To Get Some Pretty Heavy-Duty Spears.

Yeah.

My Strategy For This 40-Day Challenge Is Gonna Be

A Lot Of Hunting To Get The Protein That We Need --

Something That We Can Smoke And Live On For Multiple Weeks.

Steven: I'Ve Been Working On My Atlatl, My Dart Thrower.

¶ Yeah-Ah ¶

I Think Primitive Man Would Be Pretty Impressed

With My Skills Here.

Nice.

Hell, Yeah.

I'M Killing Something Big Out Here.

Angel: This Is Warthog Bone That I Found, And, Man,

It Has To Be One Of The Toughest Bones I Ever Played With.

I Mean, It'S Just -- It Feels Like Ivory.

Ryan: I'M Working On A Net Using My 100-Pound Fishing Line.

You Know, I Think A Warthog

Would Easily Get Tangled Up In This.

Steven: Yeah, I Agree.

Long Enough For Us To Finish Him.

Finish Him! Fatality!

Narrator: Two Miles North At Sotho Gorge,

Jake, Clarence, And Stacey Have Made Camp

Near A Dwindling Water Hole.

Holy [Bleep]

Don'T Be Stealing My Water, Bitch.

I Am Off To Get Another Round Of Drinking Water.

My Survival Style Has Always Been Balls To The Wall.

You Know, I'M Just Really Gonna Carpe The Diem Out Of It

And Just, You Know, Kick Some Ass.

Oh, My God.

It'S So Good, Huh? No.

It'S Really Swirled Around Like Diarrhea Now.

It'S Gross.

Clarence: There'S Elephant [Bleep] And Leopard [Bleep]

And All Kinds Of Little Raisinet-Sized [Bleep]

All In The Water.

¶ If It'S Brown ¶

¶ Drink It Down ¶

Chug-A-Lugs.

Ugh, I Can'T Anymore. You Got To.

I Just Vomited A Little Bit.

I'M Full On Water. I Really Am.

I Don'T Think That'S A Wise Idea. More Water!

'Cause If You Don'T Do Water,

Then You'Re Not Gonna Be Able To Be Very Helpful.

I Really Want To Move To A Better Water Source

As Fast As Possible, Sooner Than Later.

I Don'T See An Advantage Of Staying With [Bleep] Water.

I Don'T Know How Long You Guys Plan To Be Here, Though.

How Complacent Do We Want To Be With This Water?

Right Now, That'S Our Only Option.

It'S The Middle Of A Drought,

So I Feel Having Access To Any Water Source Right Now Is Huge.

We'Ve Boiled It. It'S Tasted Perfectly Fine.

So, I'M Not Super-Hard-Pressed To Move On.

Okay.

I'M Hoping Clarence Kind Of Kicks It Into Gear

Pretty Soon Here.

I Feel Like He'S Not Really In The Right Head Space

To Get Out There Killing Yet.

Narrator: At Tsonga Basin, Where Shade Is Scarce,

Carrie, Darrin, And Kim Have Made Camp

A Quarter Mile From Their Water Hole In Order To Avoid

The Lions They Encountered There The Day Before.

Carrie: Water'S, Like, Constantly On My Mind.

As It Should Be Here. Yeah.

Narrator: Now, To Fight Off Dehydration,

They Must Make The Long Round-Trip Excursion

To The Lakeshore In Searing 109-Degree Heat.

Whoa. Okay.

[Bleep]Damn It. You All Right?

Yeah, This Ground Is Unbearable.

I Think That We Should Have Built A Shelter Closer To Water.

Like, Even Here, We Can, Like, Look And See

What'S Over The Water, You Know?

We Can See What'S Coming.

Kim: But That'S Also A Bad Thing Being So Close.

A Lion Can Easily Sneak Up On Us.

I Don'T Know.

I Just Know That Just That Walk Right There...

Kim: I'M Sure There Are Many Places

That We Could Have Chose To Have Our Camp.

I Mean, Every Place Has Its Pros And Cons.

Yeah, Let'S Talk To Darrin First.

Oh, My God.

Darrin!

Darrin: Kimberly!

Need A Hand?

[Bleep]

Carrie And I Were Just Thinking

Maybe If We Were Just A Little Bit Closer...

It'S Far.

You Good? Go Sit Down In The Shade.

Yeah.

I Mean, Just Walking From There, Here,

I Am So Dehydrated Right Now.

Darrin: Yeah, We Don'T Want To Build A Shelter Down There

'Cause At Night, Every Animal Comes To Eat.

And, Like, The Elephants Will Be Like,

"What Are You Doing At My [Bleep] Watering Hole?"

Darrin: In My Experience As A Survivalist,

I Know To Make It A Little More Uncomfortable On Me

To Make It A Lot Safer For Me And My Group.

[ Yawns ]

[ Elephants Trumpeting ]

Narrator: After A Sleepless Night,

Phaedra, Alyssa, And Tawny Struggle To Fortify

Their Perimeter Against Animal Threats.

Tawny: It Was A Really Rough Night.

Pretty Much No Sleep.

And A Lion Came And Really Scared The Hell Out Of Us.

So, We Do Need To Get Our Perimeter Secure

So We Don'T Have Any Visitors Tonight.

So Hot.

I'M So [Bleep] Thirsty.

All Three Of Us Are Sunburnt.

We'Re Dehydrated.

Working In The Sun Is -- It'S Just Not A Good Idea.

Phaedra: I'M Gonna Sit Down For Just A Minute, Okay?

Alyssa: You Want To Go In The Shade?

No, I'Ll Just Sit Here.

How You Feeling?

I'M Feeling A Little Nauseous.

It'S Hotter Than Hell,

And Phaedra Started Getting Nauseous And Dizzy.

And That'S, Like, The First Sign Of Heat Exhaustion.

[ Sighs ]

Coming Into This, I Was Aware Of The Heat.

Once We'Re Out Here, Though, It Really Sets In.

You Know, You Think You'Re Prepared,

But You'Re Obviously Not.

[ Insects Chirping ]

[ Burping, Coughing ]

[ Retching ]

Tawny: Phaedra Gets Sick.

[ Retching, Coughing ]

And Then Alyssa Gets Sick.

And I'M Just Thinking, "Oh, No, I'M Gonna Be Alone."

And I Can'T Do It Alone,

Especially When I'M Trying Not To Die.

I Think I Pushed Myself A Little Too Hard Yesterday.

Tawny: I Agree.

Like, I Think I Got A Little Worried With,

Like, Our Shelter Perimeter And Animals.

And I Kind Of Pushed Myself With The Heat Of The Day.

Alyssa: This Place Has Kicked Our Ass.

It'S Just Really Hard With Three People.

This Is A Hard Environment,

And It'S Unsafe To Be Without A Big Group.

Jake: So Today The Three Of Us

Are Gonna Go Down To Our Watering Hole.

We'Ve Seen Movement In There.

Oh, See That?

I Just Hope It'S As Big As Its Splashes Are.

Stacey Has A Fishing Hook And Some Line,

So We Figured We'D Try Our Luck At Catching A Fish.

[Bleep] Yeah! Yeah!

Holy [Bleep]

Stacey: Get It! Oh!

[Bleep]Damn, It Bent The Hook.

Oh [Bleep] This [Bleep] Not Getting Out Of Here.

Almost Took My Finger Off. Look At That.

It'S Okay. I'M Not Bleeding.

We Found An Amazing Fish, And We Let It Go.

Sorry, It Hurts.

[ Sighs Deeply ]

I Feel That My Body Is Dying For Food Right Now.

Wow, That'S Amazing!

Got It? Ow, He'S Biting Me.

Well, I Can'T Eat This. Why?

I'M Allergic To Lobster And Crabs.

That'S All Right, We'Ll Get You Something.

Famished!

Clarence: All Right, One Crab.

Good Job, Clarence. Thanks Clarence.

That Was Good. No Problem.

Ooh, That Looks So Good.

Oh, Yeah. It'S Really Good.

Mm-Hmm. I Love Crab.

Mm-Hmm.

And The Soup Is Full Of, Like,

Really Good Fat.

I Just Can'T Have Any Of It.

You Can'T Have Any Of The Fat, Either?

Yeah, I Don'T Want To Risk Getting An Allergic Reaction.

I'M Gonna Go Down To The River

And Try To Get As Cool As I Can.

Okay. Enjoy That Crab.

I Can'T Even Eat It.

Allergies. You Can'T Survive [Bleep]

Carrie: Dude, I Just Burned A Big-Ass Tick.

Yeah, You'Re Gonna Want To Check For Ticks.

Carrie: This Place Is Reeling In Ticks,

And I Am Terrified Of Ticks.

And I'M Going To Put A Bunch Of Ashes

From Our First Fire

Inside The Shelter To Ward Off The Ticks

That Were Killing Us.

Bugs Don'T Like To Crawl Through Ash,

So If You Put It Down, Usually,

They Won'T Want To Crawl Through It.

That'S A Really Good Idea.

So, Hopefully, Tonight,

I'M Not Drug Off By A [Bleep] Giant [Bleep] Tick.

In The Marine Corps, You Know,

They Teach Us How To Be Tough And Disconnect.

But I Think That There'S A Lot Of Things Here

That You Can'T Prepare For

And Just A Lot Of Emotions That You Cannot Prepare For.

[ Groans ]

[Bleep]

Oh, My God. This Is Bad.

My Feet Are Cut Up.

I Cannot Catch Up On Hydration.

Oh, My God. Oh. Oh, No.

Everything Here Is Out To Get You.

There'S Only Certain Plants That You Can Pull Up

Without Being Covered In Thorns.

Worst Of All, There'S Only Certain Grass

That You Can Walk Through

Without Being Literally Covered In Ticks.

I'M Just Feeling So Tired And Sick.

I Never Thought That I Would Be Saying This,

But I Am Really Having A Rough Time Out Here.

Ryan: What If We Snare Like Two With This Net?

We'Re Gonna Have A Freaking Roast.

Steven: Shelter, Water, Fire, Food.

It'S Just A Constant Thing.

If You Start Slacking On One Or Two Of Those,

It Can Be Disastrous.

I'M Going On A Warthog Hunt In Freaking Africa.

[ Chuckles ] It'S A Dream Come True, Baby.

When You'Re Hunting These Animals Primitively,

I Mean, You Don'T Have Scent Blocker.

You Don'T Have Camo.

You Don'T Have A Compound Bow Or A .30-30.

You Know, You Literally Have A Stick And A Spear.

Ryan: Back In Here Is A Really Nice Area

That Kind Of Overlooks Our Watering Hole,

And It Provides A Lot Of Coverage.

It'S Like A Sniper Position Right Here.

I'M Gonna Put It Right Here

In The Mud Where All Their Hooves Are.

Use That Rock To Bang It In.

Looks Good, Guys. You Guys Are Awesome.

You Don'T Want To Sit With Us, Huh?

I Think The More People We Have Here,

The Worse, You Know, Chances We Have.

Steven: Yeah, I Agree.

Angel: The Less People For A Hunt, I Think, Is The Better.

The Less Noise, The Less Scent.

I Want To Be There.

I Tell You What -- It'S Gonna Be A Lot Of Fun.

It'S Gonna Be Super-Cool,

But I Don'T Want To Jeopardize The Hunt.

There'S Got To Be Some Thirsty Animals Out There.

Watch It Be, Like, A [Bleep] Lion.

Oh [Bleep] That Would Be [Bleep] Terrifying.

I'M All Up For Being A Badass, But Not Lion Badass.

No.

I Heard Something Up There.

Like The Grunt The Warthog Made.

Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!

Ryan: Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!

[ Warthog Squealing ]

Dude, There'S No -- He Was So [Bleep] Strong.

Dude, He Ran Through That Like It Was Nothing.

Steven: A Pig That Size --

He Probably Got 315 Pounds Of Meat, You Know?

I Was Really Hoping To Get Some Sort Of Protein Today.

We Need To Break That Streak Tomorrow,

Or Else It'S Gonna Really Start Affecting Our Energy.

[Bleep]

This Is The Most Primitive Land On The Planet.

Nothing'S Easy Out Here.

We Should Have Just Thrown Spears.

[ Hippos Grunting ]

I Wasn'T Expecting The Sun To Be This Brutal.

I Just Feel Physically, Like, So Drained.

I Just Don'T Know If I --

If I'M As...Tough As I Thought I Was. [ Chuckles ]

[ Lions Roaring In Distance ]

Holy [Bleep]

That'S Definitely A Lion. That'S A Male Lion.

It'S In The Valley. You Can Hear It Echoes.

[Bleep]

There Is Definitely A Lion.

They Do Sound Like They'Re Getting Closer,

So That'S Terrifying.

[ Roaring Continues ]

Carrie: Last Night Was Scary.

The Lion'S Roar Will Shake You.

Kim: I Think We Were All Awake

Whenever We'D Hear The Lion Roar.

Darrin: Yeah.

Carrie: Each Time, We Thought That They Were Coming Closer.

Definitely Don'T Sleep In Africa,

'Cause It Will Definitely Get You.

Ugh. [Bleep]

Carrie, Come Back.

Where'S She At? Just Walking?

Kim: Carrie Is A Very Strong Woman,

But She Slept Out Here Naked,

Listening To Lions Roar.

Ever Since, She'S Been A Little Distant.

[ Crying ]

All I'M, Like, Thinking Right Now Is, Like, It'S Just --

It'S Really Overwhelming For Me.

And It'S Hard To, Like, Know That We'Re Stuck Here.

There'S A Lion.

They'Re Absolutely Scary To Be Just Living Around.

Maybe I Bit Off A Little Bit More Than I Can Chew Out Here.

Oh, There'S An Elephant. Nice.

Yeah, Look, There'S Elephants.

Pretty Cool-Looking. Yeah.

[ Sniffles ]

What Up, Guys?

Kim: Hey. What'S Going On?

So, I Just Wanted To Talk To You Guys.

As You Guys Both Know, I'Ve Kind Of Just Been Having,

Like, A Rough Time Out Here,

Both Physically And Mentally.

Maybe I Bit Off A Little Bit A Little More Than I Can Chew,

And Then I'M Just Not Mentally In The Game Right Now.

And Therefore, I Feel Like I'M Not Up To The Challenge.

And I Don'T Think That I'M Gonna Stay.

Kim: I Didn'T Expect This. It'S Really Kind Of A Surprise.

The Idea Of Losing One Of The Most Important Resources

That You Have Out Here -- Another Mind, Two Hands --

That Worries Me.

I Hate To Say Goodbye To You.

I Know. But We Can'T Force You.

I Know.

We'Re Down One Partner, And, You Know, That Sucks.

The More People We Have, The More Defensible We Are,

The Stronger We Are.

A Lone Man'S A Dead Man In This Environment.

Carrie: I Came Out Here Thinking That I Could Take On Africa

The Way I Did Cambodia.

But Africa Is Relentless.

The Heat And All The Predators

And All The Ticks Dictate Everything.

And I Can'T Survive 40 Days Here.

How Are We Gonna Do This?

Do What? Just The Two Of Us?

Just Like A 21-Day.

Right. Two Of Us -- Team.

To The End.

Kim: It'S Kind Of A Scary Thing

To See Someone Disappear That Quickly.

It Just Makes You Realize,

Like, How Tough This Environment Is.

[ Elephant Trumpets ]

Okay, Do You Want To Just Herd And Club?

Okay.

Jake: Yesterday, Clarence Provided Stacey And I

With A Crab, Which We Were Very Grateful For.

And Hopefully, Today We Can Return The Favor With Fish.

Is Clarence Coming Down?

No, He'S Resting In The Shade.

Oh.

Right Now, I'M Going To Relax.

Our Water Supply Sucks,

So Until We Move To Where The Water'S Flowing,

I Have To Conserve As Much Water As I Can.

And I'M Gonna Try To Stay Cool And Out Of The Sun

So I'M Not Sweating All My Water Away.

Everything I'M Doing Is For Water.

Everything.

[ Grunts ]

Yes?

Ohh! [Bleep]

Get It! Get Him!

Get Him! Where Is He?

Oh, He'S In There.

Close The Gate!

There He Is. There He Is.

Don'T Jump Back Up. No!

Yes!

Yay!

[ Both Laughing ]

Dude, That Was Awesome.

Jake: I Am So Excited About This Fish.

I Hate Fish, But That Being Said,

I Am Going To Eat The Holy Hell Out Of It.

You Know, Day 40. Pfft! Day 80.

You Know, See You At The See-Saw, Cindy.

Ready For Some Fish?

I'M Not Gonna Eat Any Fish.

You'Re Not Gonna Eat Any Fish?!

Why Is That? Stacey: Why?

You'Re Not Allergic To Fish, Are You?

No. I'M Sweating A Lot 'Cause Of The Heat,

And I Don'T Want To Spend Water Digesting Food,

So I'M Not Gonna Eat Any.

Then We'Ll Drink More Water, Clarence.

Well, I'Ll Definitely Drink More Water,

But I'Ll Wait Till You Guys Finish.

I Am Not Certain About Clarence'S Strategy Out Here.

I Will Eat Anything That'S Moving And Not Poisonous,

And He Seems On The Other End Of The Spectrum.

I Know My Body, And I'Ve Gone

Extended Periods Of Time Without Food.

I'Ve Gone 30 Days Without Food.

I'Ve Gone 21 Days Without Food In Honduras.

I'Ll Be Fine.

Clarence: My Strategy To Get Through This Challenge Is To Fast.

My Secret Item That I'M Bringing

Is Definitely This Fat That'S Stored Up.

To Be Able To Go An Extended Period Of Time

Without Eating, It'S A Survival Skill

That'S Gonna Help Me Get Through This 40 Days.

Clarence, Dude. Really? Come On.

Stacey: You'Re Accountable To Your Body.

You'Re Just Gonna Let It Freaking Die?

That'S What It'S Doing. It'S Eating Itself.

It'S Fish Fry Over Here. It'S Delicious.

I Don'T Know How Much More I'M Gonna Take.

That Just Seems, Like, Really Dumb. [ Chuckles ]

Narrator: All Of The Survivalists On "Naked And Afraid Xl"

Have Previously Taken On 21-Day Challenges

Where Experts Gauged Their Skills

And Assigned Them Individual Primitive Survival Ratings,

Or Psrs.

But On This Joint 40-Day Challenge,

The 12 Must Achieve A Sustainable Existence

In Larger Groups, So Each Camp Receives A Shared

"Naked And Afraid Xl" Rating, Or Xlr.

In Swati Valley, The Collaborative All-Female Group

Begins With An Xlr Of 7.5.

Despite Their Conflicting Strategies,

The Trio In Sotho Gorge Launches With An Xlr Of 7.4.

At Pondo Ravine,

The Strong-Willed All-Male Pack Deploys

With An Expert-Level 8.3 Xlr.

And At Tsonga Basin,

The Loss Of A Valuable Member Has Hurt The Team'S Balance.

Starting With A Rating Of 6.7,

The Group'S Xlr Now Plunges To 4.3.

As The Four Camps Attempt To Brave The South African Bush,

Their Xlr Ratings Will Be Monitored

Throughout The 40 Days... If They Make It.

¶â¶

You Want Me To Go Get The Water?

Whatever. I'Ll Do This One.

Okay.

Stacey: Bye, Clarence.

Okay. I Don'T Think He'S Gonna Feel Very Good

If He Doesn'T Eat Something.

Yeah. Yeah.

My Outlook On Clarence Is Extremely Negative Right Now.

He'S Not Eating What We'Re Putting In Front Of Him,

And He'S Not Drinking Enough.

A Man That Size Needs To Be Consuming

Close To A Gallon Every Day In This Heat.

This Water'S Gross.

The Water Hole Is Nothing But A Hole Full Of Piss And [Bleep]

And We'Re Boiling Piss And [Bleep]

And We'Re Drinking Piss And [Bleep] Water.

Ohh, Look At That.

There'S, Like, A Film On It.

I'M Not Handling It Well At All.

I Don'T Like Heat.

I Don'T Like Not Having Access To Water.

I Want To Leave This Location Right Now.

Here'S The Water.

Hot, Muddy Water.

It'S Not Looking Good. I Can'T Stay Here.

We Have What We Need Right At This Very Moment.

Jake: It'S Not That Bad.

Nope.

Well, I Mean, For Me, That'S The Best --

The Only Water Source We'Ve Found.

I Mean, It'S Not Awesome Water,

But I'M Very Concerned About Walking Away From It.

I Don'T Feel Comfortable With Staying.

This Pond'S Gonna Be Difficult.

It'S [Bleep] Africa, Dude.

It'S All Gonna Be Difficult.

Yeah.

This Was, Like, My Biggest Nightmare --

To Be Somewhere With Somebody Who Was Gonna Be Whiny.

I Don'T Mean To Be A Bitch,

But I'M Kind Of Intolerant To That Kind Of Behavior.

It'S Pissing Me Off.

You Know, I Want To See You Drink.

I Can'T, Okay?

Survival Situation --

Maybe It'S Easy For You Guys To Drink Piss Water.

It'S Not For Me. In My Mind, I'M Getting Nauseous.

If I Throw This Stuff Up, I'M Not Hydrated.

Then You'Re Not A Survivalist.

If You Can'T Drink [Bleep] Water,

You Are Not Gonna Make It.

If I Can'T Move To Another Water Source, I'M Not Gonna Make It!

I Like A Reliable Source Of Water

That'S Gonna Get Me Through 40 Days.

Well, Then, Maybe You Should Be Sitting

In A [Bleep] Hotel Room Flipping The Channels!

Anything That Comes Out Of Your Mouth

Is Completely [Bleep] Negative.

"The Water'S [Bleep] It'S Too [Bleep] Hot.

I Don'T Feel Good." The Water Is [Bleep]

It Is [Bleep] Hot! It'S [Bleep] Hot.

Well, It'S Gonna Be Hot For 40 Days.

I Don'T Know If You'Re Gonna Be Here To Enjoy It,

But Get Used To It.

It'S Hot In The Rest Of The Day.

I'M Trying To Conserve Water.

We'Ve Barely Got [Bleep] Water, Anyway.

Yeah, We All Know It.

You Want Me To Lie? It'S Delicious?

No, But We Don'T Need To Hear You Talk About It

Every [Bleep] Time.

But I Carry My Own. I Gather Wood.

If You Carried Your Own, You'D Be Drinking Water,

You'D Be Eating Food, And You'D Be Shutting The [Bleep] Up!

Eating Food Is Not What I Do For Survival, Okay?!

I Study This [Bleep], I Read This [Bleep]

Really? You Do Not Have A Biology Degree Like Me.

Your Body Is Gonna Shut Down,

Your Mind Is Gonna Shut Down,

And You'Re Gonna Be A [Bleep] Liability To Us.

Okay, I'M Done.

I'M Leaving This Area,

And I'M Gonna Go Find Someplace Else.

It'S Not Even A Scout, It'S An Evacuation.

That'S The Stage I'M At, So I'M Gonna Go.

Narrator: This Season On "Naked And Afraid Xl"...

Phaedra: Holy [Bleep]

We Are Right In The Kill Zone.

Leopards Are All Around Us.

Not Only, Like, Around Us,

But They'Re Killing Things Around Us.

Oh, My God!

[Bleep] This Is So Much Harder

Than I Thought It Would Be.

Steven: Go, Go, Go, Go, Go! Go!

We Need To Get A Kill Soon...

Oh [Bleep]

...To Not Die.

Bring The Machete! Whoo!

Yeah!

Jake: This Is Real Out Here.

These Animals Can Kill You.

[ Lions Roaring ]

Stacey: They Will Snatch You...

[ Creature Screams ]

...And You'Ll Never Be Heard From Again.

Kim: [ Voice Breaking ] Africa'S No Joke.

It'S Definitely Beating Me Down.

Darrin: You Know, It'S Like Russian Roulette Out Here.

Like, Eventually, You'Re Gonna Catch The Bullet.

Stacey: This Is What Nightmares Are Made Out Of.
