[narrator] Welcome
back to the wilds
2
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:14,047
of Alaska's Katmai National
Park,
3
00:00:14,147 --> 00:00:16,182
where summer is nearing its end.
4
00:00:16,282 --> 00:00:18,318
The looming fall brings a chill,
5
00:00:18,418 --> 00:00:20,854
and whispers of the end
of feeding season.
6
00:00:20,954 --> 00:00:24,824
There's a growing sense of
urgency among our heroic bears.
7
00:00:24,924 --> 00:00:26,793
[dramatic music playing]
8
00:00:26,893 --> 00:00:30,263
The time for hibernation
is looming, but it's not quite
9
00:00:30,363 --> 00:00:33,733
"tuck-in time" yet
for your long winter's nap!
10
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:34,934
[growling]
11
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:37,103
It's down to the wire in Katmai,
12
00:00:37,203 --> 00:00:39,139
and our bears
are in an eating marathon
13
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:41,941
before the salmon reach
the end of their run.
14
00:00:42,042 --> 00:00:44,177
It's a feast-or-famine frenzy,
15
00:00:44,277 --> 00:00:46,179
and let's be honest,
no one's here for the famine.
16
00:00:46,279 --> 00:00:47,781
[dramatic music playing]
17
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:51,284
We're diving into the final
stretch of The Hungry Games.
18
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:53,620
The finish line? Survival.
19
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,357
and the title
of The Hungry Games champion.
20
00:00:57,457 --> 00:00:58,792
[growling]
21
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:00,293
[dramatic music playing]
22
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:03,997
It's going to be a wild
ride to the fur-flying finale,
23
00:01:04,097 --> 00:01:05,632
where only the craftiest,
24
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:10,003
the hungriest,
and the grittiest will triumph.
25
00:01:10,103 --> 00:01:12,639
[dramatic music playing]
26
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:13,907

[dramatic music playing]
29
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:23,650
As summer waves goodbye,
30
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:28,188
the bear contenders aren't
just racing against time.
31
00:01:28,288 --> 00:01:31,157
Their food supply is dwindling.
32
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:35,161
The sockeye salmon run
is all but over,
33
00:01:35,261 --> 00:01:37,831
the nutritional value
of the grass is tapering
34
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:38,998
and the other caloric gifts
35
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:41,568
will soon be distant memories.
36
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:45,505
These burly beasts can't take
a single calorie for granted.
37
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:48,208
With the countdown
to hibernation counting down,
38
00:01:48,308 --> 00:01:51,177
as countdowns tend to do,
we're going to see who's got
39
00:01:51,277 --> 00:01:53,113
the guts and the guile
to be crowned
40
00:01:53,213 --> 00:01:55,749
the king or queen of Katmai.
41
00:01:55,849 --> 00:02:00,220
Well that's one kind of
guts that'll help your score!
42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,523
After 90 days of competing,
this is the final chance
43
00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:06,826
for the bears to demonstrate
their survival superiority.
44
00:02:06,926 --> 00:02:08,661
[growling]
45
00:02:08,762 --> 00:02:09,863
[upbeat music playing]
46
00:02:09,963 --> 00:02:12,265
They'll need to rack up
one more hefty B.I.G. Score.
47
00:02:12,365 --> 00:02:15,402
With one last opportunity
to raise their beefiness,
48
00:02:15,502 --> 00:02:17,671
gaining points for the
last calories they consume
49
00:02:17,771 --> 00:02:21,074
in the waning days
of the feeding season.
50
00:02:21,174 --> 00:02:23,343
A final shot to show
their ingenuity
51
00:02:23,443 --> 00:02:25,645
and demonstrate
their resourcefulness.
52
00:02:25,745 --> 00:02:28,581
Which bears have the brain
to match their brawn
53
00:02:28,682 --> 00:02:30,083
and finish strong?
54
00:02:30,183 --> 00:02:32,185
Because surviving
Alaska's harsh terrain
55
00:02:32,285 --> 00:02:33,887
takes more
than a lot of calories.
56
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:35,221
[upbeat music playing]
57
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:37,123
And one more chance
to prove their grit
58
00:02:37,223 --> 00:02:39,626
because this long battle
isn't over yet.
59
00:02:39,726 --> 00:02:42,162
The champion must
demonstrate sustained
60
00:02:42,262 --> 00:02:44,631
bravery & determination.
61
00:02:44,731 --> 00:02:46,833
And just like in
the first two stages,
62
00:02:46,933 --> 00:02:51,571
there are 100 points
up for grabs in Stage Three.
63
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:53,707
The bear with the highest
score at the end
64
00:02:53,807 --> 00:02:57,844
of this final stage will lay
claim to The Big Bear Crown!

68
00:03:08,788 --> 00:03:11,658
With only about 60 days left
until hibernation,

[epic music playing]
70
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:19,866
let's check in on the bears who
made the cut from Stage Two.

[epic music playing]
73
00:03:22,669 --> 00:03:24,604
They are spread throughout
Katmai National Park
74
00:03:24,704 --> 00:03:27,107
in locations
we've come to know well,
75
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:29,275
from the legendary Brooks Falls
76
00:03:29,376 --> 00:03:32,145
to Geographic Harbor
to the river delta,
77
00:03:32,245 --> 00:03:34,080
here at Hallo Bay.
78
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:39,119

[birds cawing]
81
00:03:41,988 --> 00:03:44,224
It's a tranquil place.

[upbeat music playing]
83
00:03:48,461 --> 00:03:51,564
Well, sometimes tranquil.
84
00:03:51,664 --> 00:03:54,300
There's Quadmom,
playing a high-stakes game
85
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:57,203
of Catch Me If You Can
with the fish,
86
00:03:57,303 --> 00:03:59,039
and winning.
87
00:03:59,139 --> 00:04:00,607
Bit unfair, really.
88
00:04:00,707 --> 00:04:03,143
She's benefitting from
the staggered spawning runs
89
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:04,944
for the different
types of salmon.
90
00:04:05,045 --> 00:04:06,880
In this case chum,
91
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:09,849
which historically appear
along the coast in early July,
92
00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:11,651
and peak in August.
93
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:14,354
After a bit of a rough start
to her fishing season,
94
00:04:14,454 --> 00:04:17,257
it's good to see the harried mom
of four get her sea-legs.
95
00:04:17,357 --> 00:04:18,925
[upbeat music playing]
96
00:04:19,025 --> 00:04:21,761
Except, it looks like she's
forgotten to save some salmon
97
00:04:21,861 --> 00:04:25,298
for Raphael, Leonardo,
and the other two turtles.
98
00:04:25,398 --> 00:04:29,502
Ma'am, sharing is caring,
remember?
99
00:04:29,602 --> 00:04:32,472
Keeping the fish to herself
is a curious tactic.
100
00:04:32,572 --> 00:04:35,508
Obviously she's stockpiling
needed nutrition,
101
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:38,211
but her cubs are missing out
on crucial calories,
102
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:39,446
which will have to come
from her milk
103
00:04:39,546 --> 00:04:41,614
if they don't eat enough fish.
104
00:04:41,715 --> 00:04:44,384
And that will diminish
her calorie bank.
105
00:04:44,484 --> 00:04:46,853
It's a delicate dance
between self-preservation
106
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:48,021
and maternal duty.
107
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:49,356
[upbeat music playing]
108
00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:50,957
Right now Quadmom's
dancing on the edge
109
00:04:51,057 --> 00:04:55,328
of the proverbial knife and come
on, nobody likes a dancing bear.
110
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:57,330
In fact, I think
they've been banned.

[soft upbeat music playing]
112
00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:08,975
And there's Boldface,
a fan favorite
113
00:05:09,075 --> 00:05:12,479
who's weathered a lot of drama,
and her clingy cub Raccoon.
114
00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:13,913
[soft upbeat music continues]
115
00:05:14,014 --> 00:05:17,384
I see we're still hanging
tight to mom's side.
116
00:05:18,918 --> 00:05:21,488
After barely
squeaking by in round two,
117
00:05:21,588 --> 00:05:23,823
Boldface is doing everything
she can to ensure
118
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:28,595
she and her lone cub bulk up
to survive another year.
119
00:05:28,695 --> 00:05:32,399
But a dwindling
salmon run doesn't help.
120
00:05:32,499 --> 00:05:34,668
Despite the tragic loss
of two cubs,
121
00:05:34,768 --> 00:05:37,237
there is a silver lining
for this mama bear:
122
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:39,406
Focused now solely on Raccoon,
123
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:42,108
she doesn't have to use
too many calories.
124
00:05:42,208 --> 00:05:47,580
[soft upbeat music continues]
125
00:05:50,050 --> 00:05:51,484
Although looking at this,
126
00:05:51,584 --> 00:05:53,653
she's burning a few too many
calories for my liking.
127
00:05:53,753 --> 00:05:56,256
[soft upbeat music continues]
128
00:05:56,356 --> 00:05:59,526
[panting]
129
00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:06,132
Ma'am, your continued
misses don't bode well
130
00:06:06,232 --> 00:06:08,601
for a solid beefiness score...
131
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:10,670
or enough calories to make it
through the winter.

134
00:06:15,842 --> 00:06:19,379
Have you tried asking the
fish nicely to be your meal?
135
00:06:19,479 --> 00:06:21,281
I mean manners cost nothing.
136
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:22,749
[growling]
137
00:06:22,849 --> 00:06:24,718
Apparently Raccoon's
embarrassment at his mom's
138
00:06:24,818 --> 00:06:28,922
performance outweighs any
lingering anxiety he might have.
139

[upbeat music playing]
140
00:06:30,557 --> 00:06:33,860
Now is not the time to lose
your touch mama!

00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,196
You've delivered a solid
performance so far,
142
00:06:36,296 --> 00:06:39,299
but these final few weeks are
critical for you and your cub.

Meanwhile, at Geographic Harbor,
147
00:06:54,114 --> 00:06:59,352
Bigboi's living large, thanks to
a late season pink salmon spree.
148
00:06:59,452 --> 00:07:01,354
Did you cast some sort
of spell to keep
149
00:07:01,454 --> 00:07:03,123
the salmon swimming up
your river?
150
00:07:03,223 --> 00:07:04,657
[panting]
151
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:07,027
Right, it's just mother
nature doing her thing.

[upbeat music playing]
153
00:07:09,929 --> 00:07:12,232
Geographic Harbor normally
gets two to three waves
154
00:07:12,332 --> 00:07:15,435
of different kinds of salmon
throughout the spawning season,
155
00:07:15,535 --> 00:07:17,404
typically ending with pinks,
156
00:07:17,504 --> 00:07:18,972

bulk and no brains,

00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:25,912
Bigboi's stage two
performance was chef's kiss.
160
00:07:27,747 --> 00:07:29,716
As he outsmarted
Redback and dominated
161
00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:31,584
his second territory
of the summer.

Since then he's been dining
like a king,

but not even a royal decree
165
00:07:38,024 --> 00:07:41,594
can keep this fish

So what's your
next brilliant move?

We've been bragging about you
for months, it would be a shame

for you to come up short now

Checking in on Brooks Falls,

Well not right

There's Rizzo, Scarface,
Denali and Blonde Ears

all congregating
lower in the river.

00:08:35,648 --> 00:08:37,417
the established seating chart

all over Brooks Falls
188
00:08:41,654 --> 00:08:44,591
in search of
those precious salmon.
189
00:08:44,691 --> 00:08:46,726
Typically the sockeye
run would be complete
190
00:08:46,826 --> 00:08:48,828
but they're hoping
to snag some stragglers
191
00:08:48,928 --> 00:08:52,165

later than usual this summer.

a small run late in the summer.

I know you want
the salmon to yourself,

Wow, that's a legit wound

Unfortunately for all the bears,
they're probably catching

the end of a coho run,
358
00:16:38,598 --> 00:16:42,602
historically, the last salmon to
do their spawning in this area.

Oh, buddy, I know you want
more main course

Bigboi faces a tough decision:
369
00:17:09,329 --> 00:17:13,633
stick around and battle other
desperate bears,
370
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:15,201
or revisit his ronin ways
371
00:17:15,301 --> 00:17:18,872

for one last honey hole.

and he's betting with
precious calories.

A bit of a gambler.

531
00:24:58,064 --> 00:25:01,334
using a well-rounded

[epic music playing]
533
00:25:03,636 --> 00:25:05,271
Oh, and look
at Boldface's score.
534
00:25:05,372 --> 00:25:08,641
Points earned from her ingenious
dog-bone maneuver
535
00:25:08,742 --> 00:25:11,611
pair nicely with
a high Beefiness score.
536
00:25:11,711 --> 00:25:13,146
After everything she's endured,
537
00:25:13,246 --> 00:25:18,418
Boldface has positioned herself
well to claim the crown!
538
00:25:18,518 --> 00:25:23,089
Unsurprisingly, Rizzo, Scarface,
539
00:25:23,189 --> 00:25:25,325
and Blonde Ears,
540
00:25:25,425 --> 00:25:27,994
continue to rate
solid Big Bear scores.
541
00:25:28,094 --> 00:25:30,063
But do they have that
something special,

00:25:30,163 --> 00:25:34,501
that je n'ai sais quoi,to
propel them from good to great?
543
00:25:34,601 --> 00:25:37,704
Meanwhile, Quadmom's

00:25:37,804 --> 00:25:39,172
banking Beefiness points

00:25:39,272 --> 00:25:42,876
like a champ and putting
up a very respectable score!
546
00:25:42,976 --> 00:25:44,811
Could this dark horse
contender pull off
547
00:25:44,911 --> 00:25:47,080
the upset of the summer?
548
00:25:47,180 --> 00:25:48,982
If so, now is the time.
549
00:25:49,082 --> 00:25:50,884
These bears
are all neck and neck

00:25:50,984 --> 00:25:53,353

Now we separate
the bears from the cubs.

You've got to leave
it all out on the field.
555

Well, I mean,
don't leave any food

Look, look at the storm.

A storm of this magnitude

a premature winter and a swift
end to the feeding season.

Every calorie counts and
even this brief halt to fishing

You know what else affects
the bears' quest for calories?
598
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,322
The fact that the salmon
runs have dried up!
599
00:28:09,422 --> 00:28:11,891
To be fair, look,
they can only spawn for so long.

So, some of our competitors

When the salmon complete
their spawning run,
605
00:28:25,171 --> 00:28:27,907
these lakes are littered
with their spent bodies,
606
00:28:28,008 --> 00:28:29,909

a bonus opportunity
607

the salmon are exhausted

Perhaps you fancy
a bit of poetry writing
707
00:33:32,278 --> 00:33:33,780
and or we could listen
to The Cure?

[upbeat music playing]
709
00:33:34,748 --> 00:33:37,517
I don't mind a bit of make-up.
710
00:33:37,617 --> 00:33:39,953
I mean, you've got
to admire the determination
711
00:33:40,053 --> 00:33:43,390
but there doesn't seem
to be anything to eat.
712
00:33:43,490 --> 00:33:46,359
Maybe a little Duck à l'Orange?
713
00:33:48,094 --> 00:33:50,797
Yeah you're right,
you're more of a sushi guy.

00:33:54,167 --> 00:33:56,569
Oh nice catch, bravo big guy!
716
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:00,473
But with spawning season over,
717
00:34:00,573 --> 00:34:02,676
how is he finding
fish in the river?
718
00:34:02,776 --> 00:34:04,477
Well, you know what they say,
719
00:34:04,577 --> 00:34:07,781
what goes up
must come down... river!

[upbeat music playing]
721
00:34:09,449 --> 00:34:12,018
Those half-dead or fully
dead fish that Boldface
722
00:34:12,118 --> 00:34:14,254
was snacking on are quite
obviously susceptible
723
00:34:14,354 --> 00:34:16,756
to the rivers' currents.
724
00:34:16,856 --> 00:34:20,460
Those that aren't eaten in the
lake may get swept downstream.
725
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,329
right into the mouths
of clever bears like Denali!

727
00:34:26,466 --> 00:34:28,668

00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,184
Hold on! Denali isn't the only
Brooks Falls bear making moves.
731
00:34:44,284 --> 00:34:46,586
Is that...?
Yes! It's Rizzo!
732
00:34:46,686 --> 00:34:49,255
Our apologies ma'am for
suggesting you cut bait.

[upbeat music playing]
734
00:34:54,961 --> 00:34:58,164
The presence of these two
isn't just about finding food.
735
00:34:58,264 --> 00:35:00,800
It's about maintaining
their dominance.
736
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:03,603
It takes hard work
and dedication to be the best,
737
00:35:03,703 --> 00:35:06,406
and as they forage and fish,
they're not just gaining
738
00:35:06,506 --> 00:35:09,042
weight but also showing
they have the ingenuity
739
00:35:09,142 --> 00:35:12,145
and grit to sit upon
the Hungry Games throne.

While the bears at Brooks Falls
are enjoying a serene fall,
743
00:35:27,427 --> 00:35:29,262
Mother Nature is making
her presence felt
744
00:35:29,362 --> 00:35:31,464
nearer to the coast.
745
00:35:31,564 --> 00:35:36,736
A visceral reminder that the end
of feeding season is imminent.
746
00:35:36,836 --> 00:35:39,072
The gale force wind
is pushing tasty sets
747

And speaking of ninja turtles,
here comes Quadmom and her crew.

Hello Leonardo, Raphael and...
753

Oh, no!

Oh, this is heartbreaking.
755
00:36:00,393 --> 00:36:03,296
Another mother has suffered
a catastrophic loss.

[sad music playing]
757
00:36:05,765 --> 00:36:08,301
The absence of the two
smallest cubs adds a layer
758
00:36:08,401 --> 00:36:10,270
of sorrow to her journey.
759
00:36:10,370 --> 00:36:13,039
It really is a stark
reminder of the merciless nature
760
00:36:13,139 --> 00:36:15,742
of survival in
the Alaskan wilderness.
761
00:36:17,877 --> 00:36:22,382
I'm so sorry Quadmom, you were
so close to defying the odds.
762
00:36:22,482 --> 00:36:26,653
[sad music continues]
763
00:36:26,753 --> 00:36:29,356
On average at least one-third
of cubs don't survive
764
00:36:29,456 --> 00:36:32,125
their first year
in the wilderness.
765
00:36:32,225 --> 00:36:35,428
But like Boldface,
Quadmom is all too aware
766
00:36:35,528 --> 00:36:40,066
that the battle to survive
does not, and cannot stop,
767
00:36:40,166 --> 00:36:42,469
even in the face
of the worst tragedies.
768

[sad music continues]

There's solace
in doing the work,

and our grieving
mom is throwing herself

into the hardest of work.
772
00:36:50,844 --> 00:36:54,647
But it's telling she's picked an
isolated section of the shore.
773
00:36:54,748 --> 00:36:56,216
No real surprise.

Her efforts are paying off as
she makes some crucial catches.

00:37:04,090 --> 00:37:08,728
A haul of salmon that completed
their spawning run in the lake.
777
00:37:08,828 --> 00:37:12,532
This might just be the
shift in fortune Quadmom needs,
778
00:37:12,632 --> 00:37:14,768
at this crucial juncture
in the competition.
779
00:37:16,536 --> 00:37:18,405
Aww, look at her sharing.
780
00:37:18,505 --> 00:37:20,173
The loss has enabled Quadmom
781
00:37:20,273 --> 00:37:22,776
to be more "paws on"
with her remaining cubs.

Clearly your fishing
hasn't slowed down in October.

Bigboi is snorkeling,
823
00:39:48,555 --> 00:39:50,990
which is a classic maneuver
to find food.
824
00:39:51,091 --> 00:39:53,326
especially late in fall
when many dead
825
00:39:53,426 --> 00:39:56,262

float along the lake bed.

Success!
828
00:40:03,970 --> 00:40:06,506
The red color of the
fish is a telltale sign
829
00:40:06,606 --> 00:40:09,109
of a salmon that's
completed its spawning run.
830
00:40:11,845 --> 00:40:14,047
Interestingly,
salmon don't eat the entire
831
00:40:14,147 --> 00:40:17,550
time they head upstream,
so any fish Bigboi finds now
832
00:40:17,650 --> 00:40:21,688
has far fewer calories
than those he devoured in July.
833
00:40:21,788 --> 00:40:25,725
But even a dead salmon is
more nutritious than no salmon.

But only one will etch
their name into the annals
883
00:43:07,821 --> 00:43:12,959
of Katmai as the first
champion of The Hungry Games.
884
00:43:13,059 --> 00:43:15,428
Will it be...
885
00:43:15,528 --> 00:43:17,430
Denali?
886
00:43:17,530 --> 00:43:21,067
Literally and figuratively
towering over the competition,
887
00:43:21,167 --> 00:43:23,737
he repeatedly
lived up to his moniker.
888
00:43:23,837 --> 00:43:26,973
[epic music playing]
889
00:43:27,073 --> 00:43:29,409
And he even showed
some youthful vigor,
890
00:43:29,509 --> 00:43:32,846
staying at the falls
to fish until the bitter end,
891
00:43:32,946 --> 00:43:37,550
adding even more girth to
his already considerable size.
892
00:43:37,650 --> 00:43:40,954
[epic music continues]
893
00:43:41,054 --> 00:43:44,824
Bigboi, from mystery to master.
894
00:43:44,924 --> 00:43:48,595
This behemoth put on an
action-packed display of guts...
895
00:43:48,695 --> 00:43:52,999
[growling]
896
00:43:53,099 --> 00:43:54,434
And brains.
897
00:43:57,137 --> 00:43:59,072
While building
a substantial reservoir
898
00:43:59,172 --> 00:44:02,108
of fat to survive another year.
899
00:44:02,208 --> 00:44:04,177
His beefiness
isn't just for show,
900
00:44:04,277 --> 00:44:06,780
it's a testament
to a well-rounded game.
901
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,782
[music stops]
902
00:44:08,882 --> 00:44:12,118
Quadmom,
the epitome of resilience,
903
00:44:12,218 --> 00:44:14,654
ultimately turned
chaos into control.
904
00:44:14,754 --> 00:44:17,490
[epic music playing]
905
00:44:17,590 --> 00:44:20,660
Despite a painful
late season tragedy,
906
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,128
Quadmom fought valiantly
907
00:44:22,228 --> 00:44:24,564
to ensure she
and her remaining cubs
908
00:44:24,664 --> 00:44:27,267
banked enough calories
to return next year.
909
00:44:27,367 --> 00:44:30,603
[epic music playing]
910
00:44:30,704 --> 00:44:31,671
Rizzo.
911
00:44:31,771 --> 00:44:33,573
[epic music playing]
912
00:44:33,673 --> 00:44:35,342
[growling]
913
00:44:35,442 --> 00:44:39,446
The grand dame of Brooks Falls
lived up to her reputation.
914
00:44:42,482 --> 00:44:44,484
[growling]
915
00:44:44,584 --> 00:44:47,220
Establishing her
dominance from the jump,
916
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,623
and refusing to give up
the fight until the final bell.
917
00:44:50,724 --> 00:44:52,092
[epic music playing]
918
00:44:52,192 --> 00:44:55,662
You did your namesake proud,
a true pink salmon lady!
919
00:44:55,762 --> 00:44:58,198
[music stops]
920
00:44:58,298 --> 00:45:00,533
But some of her
compatriots could learn
921
00:45:00,633 --> 00:45:02,635
a thing or two from this queen.
922
00:45:02,736 --> 00:45:06,973
Despite an expectedly strong
start, Blonde Ears and Scarface
923
00:45:07,073 --> 00:45:10,710
used the end of the salmon
run as an excuse to relax.
924
00:45:10,810 --> 00:45:12,846
[epic music playing]
925
00:45:12,946 --> 00:45:16,649
Displaying a disappointing
lack of determination.
926
00:45:16,750 --> 00:45:19,052
While they'll no doubt
return next year,
927
00:45:19,152 --> 00:45:22,122
there's no way they'll
win the crown this year.
928
00:45:22,222 --> 00:45:25,025
Hopefully you two will take
this winter slumber to reflect
929
00:45:25,125 --> 00:45:28,261
on the missed opportunities
and return next year,
930
00:45:28,361 --> 00:45:31,598
ready to do whatever it takes
to claim the championship!
931
00:45:31,698 --> 00:45:33,933
[music stops]
932
00:45:34,034 --> 00:45:36,670
And finally,
everyone's favorite mom.
933
00:45:36,770 --> 00:45:39,239
[epic music playing]
934
00:45:39,339 --> 00:45:42,809
Amidst the lush
greenery of Hallo Bay,
935
00:45:42,909 --> 00:45:45,578
Boldface wasn't just surviving.
936
00:45:45,679 --> 00:45:47,180
She was reigning.
937
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,915
[growling]
938
00:45:49,015 --> 00:45:52,152
Her protective ferocity,
939
00:45:52,252 --> 00:45:55,555
and dogged determination
to survive,
940
00:45:55,655 --> 00:45:57,691
paint a portrait
of a bear whose heart
941
00:45:57,791 --> 00:46:00,894
and mind are as
formidable as her claws.
942
00:46:00,994 --> 00:46:03,697
[epic music playing]
943
00:46:03,797 --> 00:46:06,032
Boldface wasn't just
a competitor,
944
00:46:06,132 --> 00:46:08,902
she was a force of nature.
945
00:46:09,002 --> 00:46:10,937
A warrior from the start.
946
00:46:13,173 --> 00:46:17,210
And that's why she's earned
the Most Valuable Bear award,
947
00:46:17,310 --> 00:46:20,046
our salute to the standout
bear for the season.
948
00:46:20,146 --> 00:46:23,983
So here's to Boldface, our MVB,
whose spirit and tenacity
949
00:46:24,084 --> 00:46:28,455
have left an indelible mark on
The Hungry Games and our hearts.
950
00:46:28,555 --> 00:46:32,425
Or heart, if, like me,
you just have the one.
951
00:46:32,525 --> 00:46:34,260
But...
952
00:46:34,361 --> 00:46:36,229
[epic music playing]
953
00:46:36,329 --> 00:46:37,897
The crown awaits.
954
00:46:41,034 --> 00:46:44,337
So let's reveal our winner.
955
00:46:44,437 --> 00:46:45,672
Who will it be?
956
00:46:45,772 --> 00:46:46,740
[epic music playing]
957
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,576
For the final standings,
we took their entire
958
00:46:49,676 --> 00:46:51,911
season's performance
into account.
959
00:46:52,012 --> 00:46:56,249
[epic music playing]
960
00:46:56,349 --> 00:47:00,153
Mmm, Blonde Ears and
Scarface in the bottom spots.
961
00:47:00,253 --> 00:47:01,755
Just because
you had one good stage,
962
00:47:01,855 --> 00:47:03,890
doesn't mean
you're going to win.
963
00:47:03,990 --> 00:47:05,825
Just above them is...
964
00:47:05,925 --> 00:47:08,028
Quadmom.
965
00:47:08,128 --> 00:47:09,896
Unfortunately
that painful ending hurt
966
00:47:09,996 --> 00:47:11,931
an otherwise solid performance.
967
00:47:12,032 --> 00:47:14,501
[epic music playing]
968
00:47:14,601 --> 00:47:16,936
Sleep well this winter
knowing you gave it your all
969
00:47:17,037 --> 00:47:18,805
and we'll see you next year!
970
00:47:18,905 --> 00:47:23,643
[epic music playing]
971
00:47:23,743 --> 00:47:27,447
So we're down
to four bears: Denali,
972
00:47:27,547 --> 00:47:31,384
Boldface, Bigboi, and Rizzo.
973
00:47:31,484 --> 00:47:34,054
Any one of them could
claim the crown.
974
00:47:34,154 --> 00:47:39,292
[epic music playing]
975
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,737
Oh, in fourth place
is Rizzo with an 89.
976
00:47:50,837 --> 00:47:52,072
such a great performance,
977
00:47:52,172 --> 00:47:54,174
we can't wait
to see more next year!
978
00:47:54,274 --> 00:47:57,110
Taking third place is Boldface,
979
00:47:57,210 --> 00:47:58,878
squeaking ahead by one point!
980
00:47:58,978 --> 00:48:04,084
What an incredible journey which
ends with a spot on the podium!
981
00:48:04,184 --> 00:48:07,087
So now it's down
to the two heavyweights.
982
00:48:07,187 --> 00:48:08,655
They've been battling
back and forth
983
00:48:08,755 --> 00:48:11,424
for the crown from the jump.
984
00:48:11,524 --> 00:48:13,693
Who will it be?
985
00:48:13,793 --> 00:48:14,861
Denali...
986
00:48:14,961 --> 00:48:16,730
[growling]
987
00:48:16,830 --> 00:48:17,997
or Bigboi?
988
00:48:18,098 --> 00:48:20,967
[epic music playing]
989
00:48:21,067 --> 00:48:24,671
Oh! It's Bigboi by two
points over Denali!
990
00:48:24,771 --> 00:48:27,273
Wow, what a thrilling finish!
991
00:48:27,374 --> 00:48:29,376
Bravo, Bigboi!
992
00:48:29,476 --> 00:48:32,212
The inaugural
Hungry Games champion!
993
00:48:32,312 --> 00:48:35,982
What a powerhouse performance!
994
00:48:36,082 --> 00:48:38,785
He thrilled with his prowess.
995
00:48:38,885 --> 00:48:41,154
Forging a legacy,
996
00:48:41,254 --> 00:48:43,156
and setting the bar awfully high
997
00:48:43,256 --> 00:48:48,061
for any bears vying for future
Hungry Games crowns.
998
00:48:48,161 --> 00:48:52,766
[epic music playing]
999
00:48:52,866 --> 00:48:54,901

[strong wind]
1001
00:49:01,675 --> 00:49:06,446
As the first heavy snow
of the season blankets Katmai,
1002
00:49:06,546 --> 00:49:10,050
our furry friends meander
to their winter havens
1003
00:49:10,150 --> 00:49:15,088
and we bid a fond
"bearwell" to this season.
1004
00:49:15,188 --> 00:49:19,125
That's a wrap on an epic
saga of strategy and survival.
1005
00:49:19,225 --> 00:49:21,961
[epic music playing]
1006
00:49:22,062 --> 00:49:24,431
Thanks for joining
us on this incredible ride
1007
00:49:24,531 --> 00:49:27,334
through the wilderness
of Katmai National Park.

From thrilling throwdowns...

[epic music playing]
1012
00:49:38,445 --> 00:49:40,113
to fishy feasts.

[epic music playing]
1014
00:49:43,249 --> 00:49:45,352
It's been a season to remember.
1015
00:49:47,420 --> 00:49:49,589
For now, we leave
our courageous competitors
1016
00:49:49,689 --> 00:49:52,692
to their peaceful slumber.
1017
00:49:52,792 --> 00:49:56,463
dreaming of next spring's
new faces and challenges.

From all of us here, goodnight,

00:50:02,102 --> 00:50:03,703
and stay hungry.
