Steven: I'm gonna get about a baseball-size rock.

When a big old herd comes down there again,

I'm jumping out of my blind, and I'm hitting one of them

and tackling that bitch like an NFL player.

Narrator: In the drought-stricken s

a group of "naked and afraid" veterans

are taking on an unthinkable survival challenge...

[ Pig squealing ] Go, go, go, go, go!

...to endure 40 days and 40 nights

in the most savage wilderness on the planet.

[ Shouts indistinctly ] Hey!

Narrator: To make it out alive,

they must push their limits,

master their environment... Oh, my god!

...and survive each other.

Woman: I think its gonna be tremendously difficult.

Narrator: This is "naked and afraid xl."

halfway through the 40-day challenge,

nine survivalists are still standing

in the scorching heat of South Africa,

under constant threat of deadly predators.

Woman: We are right in the kill zone.

-Oh, my god. -Holy [bleep]

Narrator: They've merged into one group at swati valley

to achieve safety in numbers

but are now desperate to secure enough protein.

Africa's no joke. It's definitely beating me down.

Jake: And we cannot just get by on a few fish

when it's a group of nine.

We need a substantial source of meat.

Just a piece of advice -- you really should be covering

your feet and your hands in mud and stuff.

Bitch, please.

Narrator: And conflicting strategies

are creating tension within the group.

Ryan: The group that has been here the longest

are not the best hunters.

So I set snares

where I felt something big was gonna come down.

It's not gonna get through this one.

There's a snare right there.

That looks so good.

They're right there.

-[ Gasps ] -We got a snare. Snare!

-She's in a snare. -Snare!

Woman: Ryan!

Snare! Ryan!

[ Water splashes ]

-Ryan! -Yeah.

He's in the snare.

Jake: It's go time for me.

Complete starvation-fueled Michael Phelps explosion.

-Yeah. He's at the beach. -Ryan!

Go!

Oh, my [bleep] he's off.

[Bleep] [Bleep]

Damn it.

Snares were set up pretty good.

-Yeah. -Which one was it?

I had two of them set here.

Second one's gone.

It's gone?

-Is the rope gone? -Yeah.

Oh [bleep]

So maybe it was my tie-down point.

This branch right here is gone.

It must have taken it.

Jake: It seems as though one of the nyala

has gotten caught up in one of Ryan's foot snares.

However, his tie-off point was way too weak.

I mean, they're strong.

That's the thing is, like, we need bases of trees.

Yeah, it's got to be wrapped around

like a 3-inch-thick green tree.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Well, working with what I got.

I took it upon myself to utilize the material that we have.

You know, it wasn't a failure. It snared the animal.

Yeah, it got away, but it's not gonna get away a second time.

I got like six, seven more snares I'm gonna put up there.

Just got to tie them off to something heavier next time.

When I was a kid, an old-timer took me out

and taught me snaring, like, hardcore.

I mean, for a couple years,

I killed hundreds and hundreds of animal,

like, up to deer size.

I also always, like, put brush up against my neck snares

so they think that they're pushing through brush.

[ Sighs ] I'm gonna go rinse off.

It's a lot easier doing this by myself yesterday.

Steven: If you don't, you know, set up the snare right,

it's not gonna work.

It's a big loss. I mean, that was a lot of meat,

and it really -- it would have done a lot for everybody.

So we can't make that mistake again.

[Bleep]

[ Wind gusting ]

[ Fire crackling ]

Super-windy night.

The fire is throwing coals and little embers

into our hair and body and burning us.

And it's just kind of not the funnest in the whole world,

so we're not really able to fall asleep.

[ Wind howling ]

The wind is whipping.

Sparks flying everywhere.

Luckily there's no rain.

[ Thunder rumbling ]

[ Rain falling ]

Woman: Not gonna be a fun night.

It's early morning on day 23, and it's miserable.

[Bleep]

[ Thunder crashing ]

I'm really hungry right now,

which does not help these kind of situations at all.

[ Insects buzzing ]

Last night was a little rough, to say the least.

We had a pretty steady rain for most of the night.

You kind of have to grin and bear it.

Hopefully have a productive rest of the day

and get a little food and, um, keep pushing through.

After that nyala got snared yesterday,

that had to freaking [bleep]

Like, "oh, my god, I got to get something now."

-Yep. -So sick of setting snares.

It's gonna pay off

'cause I put a lot of time and effort into what I do.

I don't know.

I mean, I feel like at this point,

it's almost worth finding a different hunting ground

that's completely clean of smells and [bleep]

Darrin: Yeah, like, I really want to go back

and try hunting back at Alpha camp.

I see more animals over there in the first two hours of day

than I've seen the whole time I've been here.

Steven: It's like a freaking zoo over there.

Yeah.

I want to go back to my old camp

just because there's so much more game there.

100 animals a day come down to drink there instead of 20 here.

It would be 10 times more effective over there, I think.

Earlier we can get big game, the better.

I want the best hunter in the best location

to secure food for us.

It's a risk, but at this point, we really don't have any food,

so something's got to be done.

Ryan: Well, how long you plan on going?

I'd say two days.

If nothing's caught by day 25, are you both gonna come back?

No matter what, on day 25, both of us are gonna be back here.

Yeah.

I'm one of those people that likes

being able to take care of somebody,

you know, have people to take care of.

I grew up hunting. That's what I love to do.

One of my main goals was to kill an animal with my atlatl.

It's the most primitive weapon on the planet.

This is my opportunity right now.

Darrin: We only have two arrows left.

Just got to get some bone points ready

if we're gonna go on a hunting trip.

Kim has a bow, but I have the best success in this group

with that bow to get an animal.

I have indigenous living skills.

When I was a small child,

I learned to hunt and live off the land with primitive tools,

to make my own tools to hunt with.

When you're notching those hot,

you might end up snapping the whole thing.

Jake: There's a lot of lions in the den now

as far as skill sets.

Darrin has the most to offer, as we've been reminded...A lot.

Darrin: Saw two grooves, not just one.

And never twist your knife

'cause if you get a crack going down that,

you hit a bone like a rib bone, instead of it going through,

it'll crack your shaft back and split it.

Could you not watch me?

You're making me very nervous right now.

-Oh, sorry. -Okay, thank you.

[ Laughs ]

Darrin's enthusiasm combined with his knowledge, you know,

sometimes does come across as a bit of a know-it-all.

Take this one, too, Steven.

Never put all your faith in one tool.

Yep.

They're gonna kill each other.

100%.

All right, team.

We will see you in two days -- day 25.

-See ya guys. -Bye.

Or earlier with a massive, delicious carcass.

Ryan: You know, the hopes are really high

for those twto be successful

and come back with that big game and that red meat.

It's for us to live off of for the next few weeks,

maybe all the way to day 40.

May your spear kill everything it touches.

Yeah.

Stacey: This hunt is so important

because all of us are starving.

But there's, you know,

active lions constantly prowling the area.

It's an extremely dangerous task to take on.

Steven: There's some fresh [bleep] super fresh.

You noticing how much scat's on this hillside on this trail?

Yeah, man. And there's lots of different kinds of it, too.

I mean, there's still lions.

They're probably still out here.

They're probably just in the shade right now.

Steven: Nothing here is safe.

Our journey from point "a" to point "b" is always treacherous.

This is one of the few places on the planet

where half the animals can kill you.

[ Insects buzzing ]

Holy [bleep]

Would you look at that?

Little dead warthog right there?

There's sign -- lions, leopards.

The threats are real,

and it puts you in your place real quick, I tell you what.

On day 2, like, right near my blind, we saw two male lions.

Yeah, I mean, just 'cause they're nocturnal hunters

doesn't mean they don't hunt during the day, too.

Yeah.

[ Animal growls ]

Oh, stop. I just heard something.

On day 2, like, right near my blind, we saw two male lions.

Yeah, I mean, just 'cause they're nocturnal hunters

doesn't mean they don't hunt during the day, too.

Yeah.

Today's hunt day.

Going over the Ridge, gonna check out some new land.

Hopefully, get to come back with animals

over our shoulders like cavemen.

[ Animal growls ]

Oh, stop. I just heard something.

Might be a wildebeest.

-Just keep going. -Keep your voice down.

[ Bird chattering ]

I think I got a good one.

Jake: Haven't had the best success with food

the last several days.

Come on, you piece of [bleep]

So, really hoping to make the most of today,

try to get ourselves back on track,

'cause you can feel the energy dropping in the group.

Come on.

Nothing.

Even though our fuel tanks are emptying,

everybody's still trying their hardest

to really make this group as successful as possible.

-Ooh. -Okay, I'm gonna toss this.

Got it.

Yay, it's happening. Whoo.

We decided that today we could go and get some cattails

and hopefully harvest enough to use sort of like a potato.

And we think that having some starch

will be long-lasting sugar to keep our energy levels up.

These are cattail tubers.

They're the roots of the cattail.

Looks, like, just so disgusting.

But all of us are starving.

They're gonna be so good.

Ready? [ Chuckles ]

I think we're good.

Ryan: While Darrin and Steven are over there,

I think my energy is best spent here.

I'm just gonna inundate this entire hillside

in the best spots with foot snares.

You know, it is just me, one out of nine,

that really thinks that these things are gonna work.

I'm determined, and I'm not giving up.

There's a nyala right there.

It's freaking nuts.

Just showed up to Darrin and Kim's camp.

Had some of the most animal activity I've seen yet.

All the animals come down to water.

You can see where the mud is all churned up from their hooves.

So they all come from two paths.

They either come from over here

or they come from right here.

My game plan is for me to take the blind that is enclosed,

where I can shoot a bow from,

and on the other side of our lake,

there's an open area with some tall grass

where Steven can duck down, 'cause he's got an atlatl.

An atlatl takes more space to throw.

That'd be perfect. I can even stand up.

I'm gonna go build up my blind a little bit.

Cool.

When you're in a blind, you got to position it in the right area

so you're close enough to a game trail

but not too close that it's gonna spook anything.

Right in here, I got my little blind.

When I sit down, basically, just my eyes are over the top.

I can move around enough to where I don't make any noise.

I can see Darrin's blind right across from my spot.

[Bleep] [ Groans ]

Primitive hunting requires the utmost Patience.

The slightest twitch in a blind will scare the animals.

Here, no matter where they are,

there is something trying to kill them,

and they're so on guard.

[ Arrow clatters ]

I can get an atlatl shot off at an impala.

I couldn't stand up.

I had to do it sitting down,

and I clipped a tree branch, broke the tip of my atlatl.

It's, like, a huge bummer.

Ryan: These are wildebeest horns that I found,

and I knew I wanted to do something with it,

so utilizing a little bit of the snare wire,

I'm working on making myself a nice, little headdress.

I've got some high hopes that my snares

are gonna be extremely effective today.

Can't wait to watch one of these nyala get snagged up

and snared for us to have an abundance of protein.

See the nyala? They're coming down.

Woman: I feel like they're way more cautious now.

Yeah, maybe because they already snared one once

and they're super wary now.

There's one coming down right there.

Ryan: There's two or three nyala right now

within 10 feet of two of my snares,

and they know something's up.

Oh, there's one coming around to the other snare.

Two feet in front of it --

two feet in front of that deer is a snare.

Right there -- head down to the snare, smelling the snare.

All he's got to do is take two steps forward and he's snagged.

Mother[bleep]

They're leaving.

I don't know how they know, but they know.

[Bleep]

Stacey: Today we had another failed attempt

on our snares across the lake.

Had quite a few nyala come down, sniff out,

and completely go around some of the snares, so that sucks.

I can't believe that [bleep]

I hope Darrin and Steve are successful today.

Steven: Today's hunt is absolutely crazy.

I've seen over 100 animals, but they're all out of range.

Burned a bunch of calories today

just sitting out there in the sun.

It's a bummer, man.

What's up, buddy?

Had an atlatl shot.

Broke my tip.

That's tough, dude.

[ Sighs ]

I'm gonna start needing to get some protein, too.

Mind if I try your blind tomorrow with the bow?

I'm sorry. I just -- you know.

I want to be hunting with that bow.

And you've had the opportunity...

-I know. -...And I haven't.

I know, but I need to keep hunting with it, you know?

I'm trying to put food on the table for everybody, you know?

And we're in an environment right now

where that's a feasible operation.

Darrin: He talked up and down about how good he was with an

and then he gets one shot off and says it's no good

and he wants the bow.

You know, I tried to teach him

how to make really nice atlatl dart with a bone point,

and he wouldn't even listen to my instruction.

I don't understand where you're coming from.

I don't want to just get through this challenge, man.

I want to be the guy that's gonna provide for the group.

It's your call, but... Sorry.

Steven: I don't know if he's threatened,

but to make me feel that I'm not good enough,

it really upsets me.

It is what it is, and I'm stuck here with him right now,

but I'm gonna prove him wrong.

[ Lions roaring ]

I'm gonna keep this recording night

in case we get our faces eaten off,

because there is at least two lions moving around our camp.

[ Lions roaring ]

Hear that?

All we can hear are, like, sticks breaking around us,

which is -- it's pretty freaking nuts.

We've heard a roar.

It pierces your soul.

[ Roaring continues ]

I got our death horn over here, too.

Darrin: Assembled?

Yeah, assembled and ready.

[ Growls ]

[ Growling ]

Darrin: Lions were the closest they've ever been last night

to this camp --

way closer than they ever were for me and Kim.

Towards the middle of the night,

it sounded like they were down at our lake.

You want to go down there, mud up, and get back in the blind?

I think I've lost 29 pounds.

I do, too, but I know what my body looks like.

I can see it, and I look gaunt.

So, this porcupine den that you guys were talking about

and went and smoked out --

if anybody's willing to take me up there

and show me where it's at, I'd love to take a look.

Maybe it came back.

We can take you up there and check it out.

-You ready? -Mm-hmm.

-All right. Good luck. -All right, we'll be back.

-Good luck! -Thanks.

Ryan's constantly scheming in his mind,

trying to figure out the next step

in order to get a kill or to get food.

Ryan: I'm thinking a porcupine would

it's been my intention to find an active animal den

and smoke it out and harvest it for, you know,

a larger meal for the group.

I really hope that there's something in there.

It would be amazing.

I don't see any fresh quills or fresh poop.

-Mnh-mnh. -Hmm.

You know, based on some of these tracks

and the flies that are coming out of there,

I don't think this is a porcupine den.

I think maybe a warthog's moved in.

Narrator: The South African warthog

can grow up to 300 pounds

and would yield enough meat to feed the group for weeks.

Ryan: The warthog is definitely one

that you can come face-to-face with.

You know, one little flip of their tusk,

and they could really slice into you

and gash you open pretty good.

Catch an artery, and it could actually kill you.

Okay, well, how do you want to do this?

Let's game-plan that.

We literally just got to get, like, rocks.

The bigger the rocks, the better.

Damn, phaedra, that's huge.

Tons of flies just came out of there.

That means a lot of [bleep] in there.

What do you think?

You're the one that has to stab the thing.

I'll take care of that part. Okay.

Phaedra: For everybody's sake, I hope there's a warthog in there.

There you go. Working good.

That's coming right through.

Sweet.

If I was a warthog,

I don't know how I'd be able to breathe in there right now.

Nope. He's not home.

I think it was a good effort.

Yeah, for sure.

Phaedra: I've been here for 25 days.

Based on the fact that we've been here for so long,

we've already kind of milked this place dry.

Ryan: That means 25 days of traffic,

25 days of human activity, 25 days of fishing and exploring

and dropping human scent all over this place.

I feel that it's time to move on.

[ Animals grunting ]

A hunting blind a little ways up from the lake at the far end

where some trails come together.

[ Rustling ]

Hopefully we get something today.

I want one of those yummy, little nyalas.

Steven: I asked Darrin if I could use the bow,

and he's not giving it up, so whatever.

I came out here to bag a mammal, and that's what I'm gonna do,

and I'm gonna work as hard as I can to do it.

[ Sighs ]

With the hunger, the fatigue, the heat...

[Bleep] Waiting game. I'm tired of this

I have to do something completely different.

I'm gonna get about a baseball-sized rock.

When a big old herd comes down there again,

I'm jumping out of my blind, and I'm hitting one of them

and tackling that bitch like an NFL player.

[ Thumping ]

Aah

[Bleep] [Bleep] Go!

Holy [bleep]

Darrin: Steven just took off running after a nyala

with a rock in his hand.

-I mean... -[ Sighs ]

...that is not good judgment, and it kind of scares me.

"A," you don't have a chance to catch them that way.

And "b," you grab one of those things,

you're gonna get kicked and clawed up.

Really, what he's doing is spooking the animals

and making a fool of himself.

I feel like I need to put in as much time in here as possible

and utilize my skills.

[ Wind howls ]

You know, I gave my word that we'd be back.

I told everyone we'd be back.

We have all this massive amount of protein around here,

and we're not utilizing it.

I know, but when we make a plan as a group,

we're supposed to stick to it.

We're supposed to go back to camp tomorrow at day 25,

and I'm a man of my word, you know?

If I said I'm gonna be back, I'm gonna be back.

We're gonna lose a whole hunting day.

This is survival.

We haven't eaten in three days.

What are we gonna do, fish for 14 days?

I mean, that's good food, and -- it's laziness.

I don't think it's the fact

that he's worried about not keeping his word.

I honestly think he's a lazy ass,

because he hasn't done [bleep]

I'm not trying to do what I want.

I'm trying to do what's best for the group right now.

I'm really, like, apprehensive right now

about breaking our word to the group, you know, 'cause, like...

Why don't you go back?

I know, but if I go back, I got to take that bow.

Why?

I just want to make sure that, like,

you don't lose any more of those arrows on bad shots.

Okay. I've got probably 20-something years

of bow experience, you know?

[Bleep] Credit, man. Like, give me a little

like, you're making me feel like I'm a novice out here.

Dude, I watched you [bleep] chase a nyala with a rock today.

You're right, I did. It was the end of the day.

That's what I was doing.

I mean, that makes me worry about your judgment calls.

Oh, my god. You're being a smartass right now.

And you're negating my abilities.

But you've had a bow, and you haven't bagged anything.

-I know. -So what's with that?

But I've got, like [bleep] 40 shots off.

Oh, 40 shots? So that's zero in 40.

Zero in 40.

This is the thing -- I'm staying here tomorrow,

and I'm staying in that blind with the bow.

Good luck. Thank you.

You've had 40 shots, and you haven't killed anything.

You know [bleep]

I know he thinks he's, like, super survival guy.

Well, I haven't learned a [bleep] damn thing

from him out here.

All I've heard was excuses and stories.

I can get the job done myself.

Steven: I finally got the bow.

It's been guarded by Darrin.

He's had 40 shots, and he hasn't put any food on the table.

And I finally have the opportunity to use it.

I mean, when you're zero in 40,

it's probably not equipment error.

It's probably user error.

Darrin: Steven wants to be the big man and get a big kill.

He's putting me in a dangerous situation hiking by myself.

Leaves him in a dangerous situation to stay in by himself.

But as a group, we made a deal that on day 25

we would come back over there, and I'm sticking to it.

It's already getting warmer.

Steven: Get to be here alone.

So stoked about today.

This is my bread and butter right here.

Hopefully today I can prove

that sometimes you need to pass the torch

and think more about the group than just yourself.

Already a nyala bull up there.

That's a good sign.

I think we're tapping out on our resources.

It's been three days of almost nothing,

which to go from such extremes is pretty crazy

since we've gone from being successful to getting skunked.

Yeah.

I think regardless, when they come back,

we need to think about moving to Darrin and Kim's old camp.

Ryan: Yeah, I think it's a good idea to move.

The new opportunities for figs and dates and nuts

and the new opportunities for fishing holes.

Exactly.

I think we're all kind of set

for pushing on from this location.

I feel like our best bet at this point

is gonna be to try to harvest Darrin and Kim's old camp.

You know, we need to get as many fish

and as many turtles out of there in the next couple days.

Yeah, well, let's hope for the best for their return.

I think we should start gearing up

towards making that move after they get back.

-Good morning, naked people. -Whoa.

-Hello. -What's up?

Darrin: No luck so far.

I promised you guys we'd be back today.

-That was the word to the group. -Yeah.

And we saw 200 animals yesterday.

Did you guys catch anything with the hook and line?

No.

So, you guys haven't eaten yet?

No, we haven't eaten for three days.

Neither have we.

So, we're talking about moving.

-Everyone? -There's no fish.

-No fish? -It's dried up at this point.

-Where's Steven? -He stayed to hunt.

Ryan: Really?

Yeah, Steven would not come back today.

He insisted he keep the bow to hunt.

He absolutely refused to hand it over.

Ryan: You know, I'm not entirely sure what Steven's reasons are

for staying over there, refusing to come back,

and refusing to bring back the bow and arrow,

which is a group item and a group weapon --

absolutely key to our success out here.

Steven kind of worried me. We had a little argument.

At the end of the day, he, like, got frustrated with his atlatl

and literally, like, started chasing a nyala

with a rock in his hand.

Like, that's how desperate he is to make a kill.

Someone making decisions like that

jeopardizing all of our safeties.

Kim: We depend on each other,

and when we make a plan that someone's gonna come back

in a survival situation, it's pretty big.

And then he says everyone over here's just lazy

and waiting to survive.

Phaedra: Seriously? He said that?

Yeah.

But he really said, "everybody over there's lazy"?

Yeah. Everyone's --

you know, he was like, "we're just waiting it out."

I'm like, "no, I don't see anyone over here being lazy."

Jake: Well, if he's calling us lazy,

might have to talk a little sense into Steven.

It sounds like that's gonna be more challenging, then.

Well, I definitely want him to air his side of the story, too.

I don't want to just jump the gun.

Jake is the best person at this point,

and then we can talk to him as a group.

That's the best way.

Jake: Hopefully we can talk it out.

We'll see. You know never know.

People are starting to get really hungry right now,

which does not help these kind of situations at all.

[ Hissing ]

It's been good to us.

It's been good to the whole group, honestly.

But it's time to move on.

-Are we ready? -Yep.

Ryan: So, the plan is the whole group

is gonna move over to where Steven is and utilize that camp,

you know, build up some energy,

and the discussion that needs to happen with Steven

needs to happen as a group.

Jake: When I get to the camp,

I'll go over and have a little conversation with Steven.

He basically made the executive decision to take the bow

even though that was supposed to come back to camp.

I want to hear what he has to say,

but the bottom line is,

the group have given me permission to take it back.

[ Animals grunting ]

Narrator: On this 40-day survival quest,

the survivalists earn a group "naked and afraid xl" rating,

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

Although the survivalists collaborated

to catch fish at swati valley...

[Bleep] Yeah. Got one.

Narrator: ...They failed at snaring and hunting the big game

needed to support the group.

Woman: Oh [bleep] he's off.

Narrator: And now personal conflicts

are threatening to tear the group apart.

You're being a smartass right now.

And you're negating my abilities.

As a result, the group's xlr falls to 6.4.

For more information on "naked and afraid xl,"

go to discovery.Com.

[ Grunting ]

Steven: The buffalo are a couple thousand pounds.

It's literally a ton of animal that can crush you.

They don't back down to anything.

They take on lions. They take on people.

They're one of the most aggressive animals out here.

You kind of let them do their thing, keep your distance,

and hope they don't mess with you

or they go right through you.

That's better.

[ Whistling ]

[ Bleep ]

Hunting blind's over on that far left side of the dam,

big bushes down there.

[ Bleep ]

I'm gonna shoot over there now to talk to Steven.

-Good luck. -Thank you.

I think it's best that Jake goes over, talks to Steven,

kind of defuses the situation a little bit

before we have a conversation as a group.

Jake: It's not even a "who to believe" thing for me.

For me, it's more "secure our weapon for the group"

than anything else.

-How's it going? -Good, man.

-I didn't expect anybody. -Yeah.

A conflict at camp that we've got to get sorted out.

Come on in, buddy.

What's the word? What's going on?

Darrin came into camp,

and he had mentioned you guys had a bit of a heated argument.

The plan was to come back with the bow and arrow,

and I think it rubbed some people the wrong way

as far as, I guess, you mentioned

that the group's been kind of lazy and...

I never said anybody was being lazy.

Yeah.

You know, it is what it is,

and I think we just have to take a step back,

think about the group.

I mean, as of right now,

they asked if I could take the bow and arrow.

Jake came all this way, you know,

just to basically take the bow out of my hands.

I'm pretty pissed off right now.

Oh, yeah.

All right.

I'm just trying to put meat on the table for everybody,

and now I'm the [bleep] bad guy.

Hurts my feelings, man.

I think some words got turned around,

and we need to nip this in the bud, I think.

I made an executive decision yesterday

to kind of stay and hunt.

I never had a chance to use the bow.

I was really hoping to get the opportunity

to put food on the table.

I mean, I feel like I'm a provider.

And that's what I do at home,

and that's what I try to do here.

But that's not what we agreed to as a group,

and that's why I left.

When you make a plan, you stick to the plan no matter what

in these situations. Yeah.

Obviously, Darrin, I'm -- I'm really --

I can't get into it with you right now.

Me and Darrin really got into it yesterday.

He -- he twisted a lot of words around.

He said that I called you all lazy and a few other things.

You did say some remarks to those lines.

You put words in my mouth.

You said, like, you know,

"everyone's laying around when they should be doing something."

No, I never said that, Darrin.

And like I said, I'm not gonna do this back-and-forth thing.

I'm sorry you guys got the wrong impression,

but I feel like I kind of got ganged up on

and I couldn't defend myself.

I know that I never said anything derogatory

or down-putting.

But you can take with it what you want.

I would hope that you all's impression of me by now

would be that I'm looking for the benefit of the group.

He said that we are lazy over here.

When I asked at least three times

and you repeated, "yes, that's what he said,"

and you're saying, "absolutely not.

-I didn't say that." -He did make comments about --

not comments. I said, "did he say that?"

I absolutely did not say that.

And you said, "yes." And so --

I know that came out in a conversation

about everyone laying around over there, not doing anything.

That's not true, either, Darrin.

If I'm being honest,

I feel like I just don't know what the true story is.

Trust is a big deal out here.

We need to trust each other because that's all we have.

We only have each other out here.

Someone betrays my trust after I give it to them 100%,

it's gone 100%.

They won't ever get it back.

Kim: There was a breach of trust.

It may seem small, but it's big out here.

This is new to me.

I don't feel this way.

[Bleep] Look at me. And phaedra didn't even

like, she didn't even look up at me.

I don't feel, like, comfortable, like,

talking and hanging out with you

'cause I feel like you kind of

stabbed me in the back a little bit

and made me into something that I'm not

with the only family that I have out here.

But, like, as of right now, I just kind of need some space.

For Darrin to twist my words around

and turn me into the bad guy

makes me want to knock his [bleep] lights out.

Darrin: I knew he would call me a liar.

He's not gonna admit to the group

that he talked [bleep] about them.

He knows that a loner out here is a dead man.

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

Look at the size of these lion paws.

It's bigger than my hand.

We got leopards that are known to hunt humans out here.

Big cats like to pick out the weakest animals in a herd.

-Oh, my gosh. -We need a medic, like, now.

Lions. I can hear lions.

[ Lions growling ] I can hear them coming.

[ Moaning ]

[ Lion roars ]
