Original subtitles

Narrator: After 30 days in the drought-stricken hell

of South Africa, one final chapter remains.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Narrator: 12 elite survivalists entered the bush.

But intense heat... [ Wretches, coughs ]

...disease-infected tics... Jake: Three on my penis.

One on my eye.

[ Lion growls ]

Narrator: ...And the threat of deadly predators

have taken their toll.

-Holy... -We are right in the kill zone.

-Are you kidding me? -[Bleep]

Stacey: They will snatch you,

and you'll never be heard from again.

Narrator: By day 28, four had fallen...

I need a medic.

-Huh? -Something's wrong.

Narrator: ...And those that remained began

to turn on each other.

Darrin: He says everyone over here is just lazy

and waiting to survive.

Absolutely did not say that.

Steven: For Darrin to twist my words around

makes you want knock his [bleep] lights out.

Narrator: Then, after moving to the deadly shores

of the mkuze river on day 29,

Africa dealt a devastating blow...

Jake: Don't eat the fruit!

-What? What? -Huh?

Narrator: ...As contaminated fruit

wiped out three more survivalists

in a single 24-hour period.

[ Siren wails ] Now, in the final days...

Jake: [ Groaning ]

Narrator: ...Extraction looms as Jake fights the pain

to stay in the challenge... -Ohh!

Narrator: ...And his teammates find themselves outnumbered

[ animals growling ] By deadly predators.

The lions are super, crazy close.

[ Rustling ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god.

[ Growling continues ]

[ Elephant trumpets ]

Stacey: Yesterday was extremely traumatizing.

I don't think any of us got much sleep.

So it was a pretty hard night last night.

We barely had any time to get our perimeters established.

And we're waiting to hear about Jake, phaedra, and Kim.

So hopefully they come back to us this morning.

Steven: Nobody knows what's going on.

People are dropping like flies. It's terrifying.

All you can do is sit and watch.

It's an incredibly helpless feeling.

[ Elephants trumpet ]

Jake: I have risen.

-Jake! -All right, buddy.

Alyssa: Oh, my god.

You still hurting pretty good or are you --

Jake: Yeah, it feels like I had a baseball bat taken

to my abdomen about 50 times, yeah.

Alyssa: [ Laughs ]

Steven: I'm glad you're here, buddy.

-How are you? -Uh, I'm better.

Last night was probably the worst pain

that I've ever experienced.

I woke up feeling intense seizing of these muscles,

which stopped.

So right now, it's just, like, if I cough or laugh,

I feel really bad.

Narrator: Medics have cleared Jake

to continue with the challenge

but will monitor his health every 24 hours.

Steven: So what happened?

Phaedra was right next to me and screaming and yelling.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

[Bleep] I feel like I can't breathe.

[ Groans ]

It was absolutely awful.

So, that's when I think they made the decision

she had to go.

Oh, my god.

Stacey: It was heart-breaking.

I could totally empathize with her.

On my challenge, on day six, I was burnt

by a pot of boiling water, and they made me leave.

I do everything I can out here every single day

to make sure that does not happen to me again.

[ Voice breaking ] I just want to --

I want to win this one.

I just heard about Kim. What happened to her?

We woke up to her screaming bloody murder.

Kim: Oh, god.

[ Groaning ]

[ Screaming ]

[Bleep]

Darrin: I already miss Kim.

It was just me and her for so long.

Next thing I know, Kim's gone.

Alyssa: Man, I'm just glad you're back.

Thank you.

Stacey: We almost lost Jake, and he has been

the leader of the group from the get-go.

Alyssa: Glad to see he's back.

So, do you think you could eat?

I don't know.

We're gonna try and get stuff

so that we can at least have something in our stomach

besides these fruits right now.

Steven: We want you to just recover.

We need you.

There's absolutely safety in numbers

when it comes to survival,

and we need everyone that we can have.

[ Elephant trumpets ]

Super rocky over here.

Right over there -- that's extraction zone.

[ Sighs ]

So, we got to get through a week.

I got to try to do everything I can

to put food in everybody's bellies,

and we're going to have to get an adequate source of protein.

We're going to have to get something.

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

It's simple as that.

We're dropping like flies out here,

and it's the last push.

And we got to stick together as a group.

I feel pressured to get some food for these people.

You know, one kill, even if it's a small animal,

is gonna totally change this game for us.

There's no way I can get to those females

without them spooking.

They've already sounded off their alert calls once.

But we got lions here every single night.

We got leopards that are known to hunt humans.

The dangers here are 10 times what they were

at our last place.

[ Animal growls ]

I have a very small, tight-knit little family here

that need me.

Jake's sick, and they really need me now.

There's lots of bird over here in this tree,

so hopefully I can get something with the slingshot.

I believe that if I use Steven's slingshot,

I could get a bird.

[ Bird chirping ]

Stay.

Yes!

Oh, I got him!

Oh, my god, this is incredibly amazing.

Oh, my god, I'm going to cry.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.

[ Laughs ]

[ Sobs ] Thank god.

[ Cries, sniffles, sobs ]

This is so important this happened today,

because we lost three people yesterday,

and there's just this huge loss of morale

[ sniffles ] And loss of hope.

But if I can get this bird with one shot at that tree,

then we have so much hope left.

[ Laughs ] Yay!

[ Breathes deeply, sniffles ]

Did you get anything?

Darrin: No.

You're not going to [bleep] believe it.

-What? -What?

I actually pegged one with the slingshot.

-Did you, girl?! -Shut the [bleep] up.

Stacey: It's not much but -- [ laughs ]

Darrin: It's like the tiniest little Turkey.

I'm so proud of it.

I say this little birdy is done.

It's hot.

Oh, wow, it's delicious.

Mmm! Oh, my god.

The bird tastes like chicken, and it's delicious,

but it's certainly not enough.

And we still have a huge extraction ahead of us.

Stacey: It's like the saddest-looking

little thing ever.

Alyssa: So good, though.

[ Thunder crashing ]

[ Rain pattering ] Alyssa: I'm cold.

It's windy. It's rainy.

It's thundering and lightning.

[ Thunder crashes ]

We're sitting in dirt, and we're all wet.

And we stink.

[ Thunders crashes loudly ]

And this is miserable.

[ Thunders rumbling ]

[ Thunder crashes ]

Jake: Last night was definitely brutal.

I don't think anyone here slept well.

And I'm worried.

Being sick out here is entirely different.

You don't have any of the luxuries

of being sick at home.

Narrator: 24 hours since Jake's return,

medics check on his condition.

Jake: Now more joint stuff.

Yeah.

How's the blood pressure?

Uh-huh.

Do my eyes look that yellow?

Pretty yellow, yeah.

Stacey: All I'm thinking is, "you do not look good.

There's jaundice in your eyes, which means

your liver's having a hard time processing the poison."

Jake: Yeah.

I don't want to leave.

I feel like I should be owed a little bit more time.

Okay.

All right. Yep.

Well, I definitely disagree,

but just gonna do what the medic says.

Stacey: This one hit us hardest,

because Jake was the leader,

and he was the one that kept everybody civil

and good to each other,

so it's very much like having a death in the family.

Bye, sweetie.

-[ Cries ]

-I love you. -I love you.

Jake's pretty much the thing that kept me here.

-I love you, sweetie. -[ Crying ] I love you.

[ Sniffles ]

It would've been nice to finish with him.

[ Sniffles ]

Jake: All right, guys.

Stacey: Be safe.

-See you, brother. -Kill it out here.

We will.

Steven: They say only the strongest survive.

But that has nothing to do with it.

There's so many factors out here that can kill you.

The ones with teeth are threats,

and the ones you can't see are threats.

Stacey: We're all ticking time bombs

and potential tap outs.

You cannot underestimate South Africa.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Siren wailing ]

[ Elephant trumpets ]

[ Leopards growl ]

[ Buffalo snorts ]

From 12 to 4 -- I'd never would've thought.

I'm [bleep] hungry.

Steven: My mind's been moving really slow.

I can notice myself mumbling a ton.

Darrin: Extraction's right around the corner.

We got a long walk ahead of us.

Steven: Yeah, we still got a journey.

Stacey: We've only got a little bit

and although it's really hard to even get moving and get going,

we still need to be able to feed ourselves.

Don't know what the demands are gonna be for extraction,

and we're going to need an amount of energy

to be able to hike out of here.

Narrator: If they make it to day 40,

the survivalists face

a dangerous four-mile journey north

through active lion territory

and across the sun-scorched foothills

of the lebombo mountains to their extraction point.

I want to go hunting.

Are you good just fishing, Steven, for us?

I'm going to wait like 5, 10 minutes,

and then I'm gonna go down there

and start doing it up.

Me and Darrin, we're not friends.

We're co-workers right now.

Darrin: Downstream from us,

there's that one super deep hole.

That'd be a good one to maybe throw in

for some big catfish later.

Yeah.

He's always derogatory.

He always thinks he has a better opinion,

but he literally brought nothing to the table --

like, no food at all.

Darrin: When I come back with a bunch of meat,

it'll make everyone feel a whole lot better.

[ Antelope snorts ]

That really sucks.

I was right on him,

and the second I picked up my bow, then he's --

[ clicks tongue ]

I don't have the resources in me

to push myself every day and try to get a big kill.

My body is shot.

[ Animal snorts ]

Alyssa: Oh, my god.

Steven: Aw [bleep]

Yeah, you see him?

Yeah, he's big as hell.

Look how big he is.

Oh, my god.

Steven: He's like a tank.

Alyssa: He's standing his ground right now.

Cape buffalo is one of the big five in Africa,

and they call them the big five

'cause those are what kill the people the most.

Cape buffalo, they're, like, the biggest,

baddest, meanest animals out here.

These things can reach almost 5,000 pounds.

I mean, lions don't even mess with them.

[ Buffalo snorts ]

Alyssa: We're surrounded by some large animals,

and they're getting closer and closer to us.

That really worries me right now.

We're supposed to run if that one charges, right?

Um, yeah, let's -- he's looking agitated.

Yeah.

[ Buffalo snorts ]

-Whoa. -Easy.

So, yeah, maybe it's boma time.

Boma time for a little bit.

[ Buffalo snorts ]

[ Lion growls ]

[ Elephant trumpets ]

Stacey: We're going on a hunt.

[ Buffalo snorts ]

All right, let's do this.

The past few days have been just a roller coaster, man.

But I'm ready to start moving on.

I'm ready to get some protein on the table,

ready to get people fed, and then I'm ready

to get one step closer to extraction.

Steven: It's a big old monitor lizard.

Alyssa: [Bleep] Yeah.

Darrin: I got arrows.

Alyssa: Well, come get him with the arrow -- run!

See him?

-[ Grunts ] -You got him?

Dude. Why didn't you run?

Darrin: 'Cause I got a Thorn in my foot.

-[Sighs] Oh, my god. -[ Sighs ]

Stacey: Is he gone?

I didn't even see it.

Darrin: Hey, in the future, if there's a monitor lizard

like that, shoot it with a bow before you spook it.

-Well, you were walking. -Sorry.

[Bleep] Kidding me, all right? You got to be

don't lecture me when I'm hauling ass

through a mudhole with thorns in my feet

and you want me to wait while you get

your bow and arrow ready and your Thorn out of your foot.

Alyssa: Darrin, you ought to pick it up.

In the future, tell me to come shoot it with a bow

and not run after something twice as fast as a person.

Darrin: I don't have energy to waste,

and I'm not gonna go running after something

that I know I can't get.

[Bleep] Off.

No story.

You know, actions speak louder than words,

and he's a walking dictionary.

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Animal growling ]

Steven: What was that?

Alyssa: I don't know.

[ Growling continues ]

[ Rustling, rumbling ]

[ Animals calling in distance ]

[ Rustling, rumbling, calling continue ]

[ Rustling, rumbling, animals calling ]

Steven: Dude, it was like a stampede down there.

Dead bodies were being dragged,

and the lions were roaring all night.

Steven: There was definite water buffalo.

Look at those puppies.

Stacey: Yeah.

Check it out.

There's a lion right there.

-Oh, my god. -They were right here.

That's our house right up there.

Alyssa: It was at our front step.

Yep. That's absolutely nuts.

Stacey: To see these fresh lion prints

so close to where I'm sleeping is

a reality check that this is their house,

and I could die.

Alyssa: Do you want to cut down stuff for the shelter?

-Gotcha. -Thank you.

Stacey and I will keep doing fire wood.

Darrin: We got lions here every single night

right across from our boma.

We have to get this shelter secure for the night.

It ain't no joke.

We got six days left.

Yeah, we can't get complacent, you know?

Complacency kills people.

[ Sighs ]

Yeah, I'm starving.

Okay, I'm going to set one up over here.

I just set up seven snares, and then hope is

that they'll trip them

and it'll get stuck around the neck

and they'll be tied to a tree.

'Cause this is a main game trail.

We want the biggest one on here.

Alyssa: I didn't expect this to be the last four standing.

You know, the people I was most close to are gone.

Stacey: Beautiful snare.

Who knows?

I can't say that I'm going to be walking out of here

on day 40 because you never know,

but we're going to keep going

like it would have been all of us.

We'll finish strong.

I just want to go home.

Stacey: It's been a rough morning for me

sitting in the hunting blind and...

Waiting for some nyala to come through these snares.

But I haven't given up yet.

I'm ready to complete the challenge.

I'm ready to see my family.

[ Animal growls in distance ]

One second. Everything's black.

It's pretty dangerous to be this weak

in a environment like this,

and our bodies are so low on sugars right now

that every time I stand up,

I get 10 to 30 seconds of complete blackout.

Stacey: This is tough,

probably the toughest throughout the entire challenge for me.

I just want to make sure we get protein for tonight.

I'm starving, and I'm tired.

And I think once we get some, like, protein

and some food in our bellies, it's going to help everything.

All right, guys.

I think I spotted an active warthog den the other day,

so I'm gonna go check it out.

I think that's probably our best bet for a mammal up here.

Yeah. Just be careful out there.

Those things have massive tusks.

Yeah.

-It's dangerous. -Yep.

Darrin: Yeah, it would be cool to go spear a warthog,

but it would really suck to have that warthog turn around

and tusk you and you have to go home

because you thought it would be cool to get a big kill in.

Steven: I'll beware.

Too far long in this journey to end it on a dumb note,

so I'll be back soon enough.

Okay.

The mental game out here is 90% of the same,

but I'm confident we're gonna get through it

walking out of here, not crawling out of here.

I find this warthog den,

and there appears to be no exit holes,

so I know if something's in there it ain't going nowhere.

It is crazy deep.

Yeah, there's something down here.

Smell of urine and feces is down there,

so it's obviously fairly active.

I don't know.

It could be a 300-pound warthog.

I got to smoke him out.

I'm gonna get some elephant [bleep]

And I'm gonna light it on fire,

and I'm gonna Chuck it down there.

And whatever it is in there is gonna come running out,

and I'm going to stab it.

Anything could be in there -- mambas, scorpions, snakes.

A fricking jungle cat could be in there.

I don't know.

There's already [bleep] flying out on my face.

But I'm going to smoke out whatever's in here,

and I'm going to put it on the kitchen table tonight.

So let's do this.

[ Inhales sharply ] Deep breath.

Into the void.

It's pitch-black.

You can't see your hand in front of your face,

and you feel like you're going into the bowels of the earth.

[ Animal snorts ] Holy [bleep]

[ Animal shrieks ]

I got to back out.

[Bleep]

[ Animal snorts ] Steven: Holy [bleep]

[ Animal shrieks ]

I got to back out.

[Bleep]

[ Coughing ]

[ Breathes deeply ]

I go headfirst, naked into a hole with god knows what,

but it's closing in on me.

I am sitting here in, like, a death tunnel.

But the most important thing out here is

to keep my team's morale up

and jump on every opportunity I can.

I got to set up just a basic cast net.

The key is it needs to fall on top of him...

[Sighs] So he gets tangled up in it.

But it's gonna come out

if I'm sitting here waiting for it,

so the sooner I get out of here the better.

[ Animals calling in distance ]

[ Calling continues, leaves rustling ]

Darrin: Well, it's day 39.

Last full day here.

Damn, I do want to get out of here.

And I want some food.

I won't have to worry about lions.

It's been tough.

Gonna check my trap I set earlier.

I don't see any struggles though.

Ohh, man!

The son of a bitch.

It's frustrating, but I don't give up,

and I'm not going out without a fight.

[ Sighs ] So close.

Me and the girls are going to go find some food.

Extraction's tomorrow. Extraction is a big deal.

So we're going to have to get an adequate source of protein.

We're going to have to get something to get in our bellies.

Stacey: I think I just saw a bird.

Oh, shh, guys.

There's two male lions over there.

Steven: Look at that.

That is so intense.

We're maybe within maximum,

maybe 300, 400 yards away from our shelter.

Narrator: Normally wary of humans,

these male lions can close a distance of 50 yards

in 2 1/2 seconds.

They are eye [bleep] the [bleep] out of me right now.

[ Lions yawns ]

It's terrifying.

Stacey: Oh, my god.

[ Lion growls ]

I think the lions are ready to have their space back.

This is their home.

Steven: It's obvious that they did not want us here anymore.

Today, I just -- mentally, I'm [bleep]

Darrin: Yeah, we got to be careful.

Our cognitive functions are so low

that we just got to keep it to the basics.

Stacey: The best thing we can do is

yeah, like, I have no hero left in me.

All right. Time to catch some bait.

Between the lions and the heat and the starvation --

the threats don't change

just because the finish line's right over there.

It's terrifying.

But if you just crawl in a corner, you're dead.

All right.

I'll try a couple different fishing rakes.

The game here is so smart and sketched out

that to get them with a primitive weapon is

nearly impossible.

I'm not gonna waste my time and energy,

so I turned my atlatls into basically fish Poles.

I got two hooks on each one of my rods.

One live fish on one hook, smash up one the other one.

If I can get four catfish,

we will all be completely full for the day.

Well, that's literally probably 1,500-calories-plus each.

And then, all we have to do is focus on extraction.

Survival isn't sitting around

and talking about stuff that happened.

You know?

Whoo!

[ Laughs ] That was crazy.

Look at that!

Oh, you're not too bad.

Whoo!

We got dinner.

Steven Lee hall Jr. -- kind of a big deal.

Thank you.

Thank you, ladies and gentleman.

In South Africa putting food on the table.

Hey, girls!

I got dinner!

-Oh, my god! -Oh, my god!

Stacey: It's beautiful!

Steven went out, and he brought us back fish.

All I can think is, "oh, my gosh, we're going to be fed.

We're going to be able to have enough energy for extraction.

It was just a huge relief.

Alyssa: Oh, my god.

Oh, my god. That is so good.

Mm-hmm. -That is amazing.

Melts in your mouth.

-Mm-hmm. -Yeah, that's good.

Last meal.

Yeah, last meal in the bush.

Darrin: You know, me and Steven have had our differences,

but despite it all, you know, I definitely can recognize

how much he works to help provide for the group.

-Thanks for fishing, Steven. -Yeah.

Darrin: I mean, you're providing so [bleep] well

doing that that I fully respect you now --

even though we had our little scuff.

-Yeah. -Yeah, that's over.

You have my respect, and it's hard to earn.

I appreciate it, guys.

You caught us so many fish,

and you [bleep] sustained this group

when nobody else wanted to [bleep] do a thing.

I would say that you are the reason

that the rest of us are here.

-Thanks. -So thank you.

-Yeah. -That means a lot to me.

-Good. -Good.

When I started this whole journey,

it was tough for me because it felt like

I was sheltered and kind of put in a corner

and not allowed to be me.

And I hate not being me

'cause I'm a pretty freaking awesome dude, you know?

So to finally be able to take the bull by the horns

and get my team motivated and provide food for everybody

and be successful, it's exciting.

Well, I wouldn't wish for any other people

to be here with me right now than you guys.

Well, good, 'cause you're stuck with us.

-[ Laughs ] -Yeah.

You're kind of s.O.L. On that one.

Yeah.

[ Insect chirping ]

[ Lions roaring, growling ]

[ Leaves rustling ]

Steven: What was that?

[ Roaring, growling continues ]

[ Leaves rustle ]

The lions are super, crazy close.

[ Leaves rustle, lions roar ]

The closest I've ever heard them.

Alyssa: Holy [bleep]

[ All shouting ]

Narrator: On this 40-day survival quest,

the survivalists earned a naked and afraid xl rating,

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

After losing half their teammates in two days,

the group of four was severely depleted.

Dude, where we're all going to pass out.

Narrator: But thanks to Steven's persistence...

Steven: I got dinner!

Narrator: ...They now have the protein they need

for extraction.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-To meat. -To us.

Narrator: As a result, their xlr increases

from 3.9 to 5.8.

But now, with one day to go,

Africa's deadly predators are closing in around them.

[ All shouting ]

-Morning of day 40. -Oh, my god.

We're about to make the hike out of here.

Alyssa: I did not sleep at all last night.

I know. Me, neither. It was, like, maybe an hour.

Those lions -- they came way too close last night.

-Yeah. -That was intimidating.

Over the past few days, they've been getting closer

and closer every single night,

and last night, it was a direct call to us

saying, "all right, you guys need to leave."

I was legitimately, like -- -scared.

Steven: Yeah.

That was intense.

Darrin: The absolute worst they've been.

-That was very scary. -Yeah.

Like you feel it vibrating in your hollow.

Steven: It was pretty nuts.

The sooner we get out of here, the better.

-Absolutely. -You know, we're hydrated now.

Alyssa: Mm-hmm.

Should definitely get a move on as soon as possible.

Yeah, light's gonna be on us in a few minutes.

Steven: Yep, agreed.

I am just very thankful that it's extraction day

because if not, I would be very uncomfortable

sleeping there at night one more time.

All right, so, we've got a long walk ahead of us.

Yeah, extractions are never easy.

Narrator: With increased lion activity in the area,

the survivalists face an even more dangerous journey

along the river before heading north

into the foothills toward their extraction point

four miles away.

I'm keeping my eyes on the horizon, scanning.

Alyssa: 'Cause there's only four of us,

we have to be a lot more vigilant.

We're not as loud and bigger a group, you know?

That's true.

[ Lion growls ]

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

We're wandering around kind of dazed and lethargic,

and that is every sense to a predator

that, "this animal's weak. It's an easy target."

Stacey: Is it getting tougher to

it seems to be getting thicker.

Darrin: Yeah, these game trails are

definitely getting thinner.

Steven: Watch your step.

I think that's where we turn and go straight uphill.

Yeah, I think we make a right here.

Once we get up there, get that high ground,

we'll be able to see everything.

Be careful and look around.

There's a lot of cover, and cats love cover.

Yep.

We're in their territory.

[ All breathing heavily ]

I feel like we're close.

-I do, too. -Yeah, we just to push

to the top of this hill.

Stacey: [ Sighs ]

[ Lion growls ]

Steven: The sun's getting up there.

Whew, yeah, it's getting hot.

Whew.

Stacey: This hike is tremendously difficult.

It's got to be well over 100 degrees.

My legs are not okay with this anymore.

But at the same time, my body just keeps pushing

because I know what's at the end of it

and all the weakness just seems to kind of dissolve away

as if I'm on some kind of, like, super drug.

Steven: This is literally the last journey.

Every step we take, we are one step closer

to crossing that finish line.

We're almost there.

Stacey: Oh, we're so close now.

10 days ago, we lost half of our partners...

-[ Wretches ] -...And it was devastating.

But we never gave up.

It's that not giving up

that's gonna get us through this right now.

Guys, this is it. This is it.

This is the end right here.

[ Laughs ] We're going home.

[ Airplane engine buzzing ]

[Gasps] Look! It's a [bleep] plane.

-Oh, my god! -That's it!

-Whoo! -Whoo!

-That's our ticket home! -Yeah!

Yeah!! -Oh, we're getting out of here!

-Whoo! -Oh, my god!

-Yeah! -Whoo!

[ Cheering ]

-Let's go! -That's right, Africa!

There's a lot of people that were taken

out of this challenge,

[ sniffles ] So now I'll finish it for them.

-Oh, my god! -Yeah!

[ Laughter ]

This is the first primitive- survival-skills scenario

that I've struggled in

in my whole life since childhood.

-Hi! -Hello.

But I used it to grow inside.

-Wow. -It's surreal.

Stacey: A bunch of naked, dirty bastards.

This is definitely an experience that will be with me

for the rest of my life.

Oh, my god, we haven't been in a chair for so long.

-I'm not sitting on pebbles. -[ Sighs ]

Stacey: On my last challenge in Croatia,

I was forced to do a medical tap on day 8,

so being invited to come out here,

I was given an opportunity for a hero's journey.

I took it, and I won.

And there's nothing more fulfilling than that.

We're finally going home now.

Yeah! Whoo!

-Hell yeah! -Yeah.

-Here we go! -[ Laughs ]

-Whoo! -Here we go!

40 days -- we freaking did it.

-Whoo! -[Bleep] Yeah!

-I cannot believe it! - We did it

we did it, 40 days -whoo!

I definitely came into this with a chip on my shoulder.

But what you take from something like this is immeasurable,

and it humbles you in a way that is indescribable.

Yeah, baby! -Whoo!

That's right!

That's right.

Stacey: Oh, my god!

Narrator: Over 40 days, the scarce food

and brutal conditions of the drought-stricken bush

took a dramatic physical toll on the finalists,

leading to significant weight loss.

[ All shout ]

Narrator: But against incredible odds

and extreme dangers... Jake: Don't eat the fruit!

-What? -Huh?

Narrator: ...They completed the mission.

Steven: I got dinner!

Oh, my god!

[ Cheering ] Yeah!

Narrator: ...And earned a final group xl rating of 8.3,

proving they alone have what it takes

to survive 40 days in South Africa naked and afraid.

Oh, yeah.

Despite everything, I had a killer time,

and I wouldn't change a single second of it.
