Bloody Columbia.

We could probably bloody walk on the surface of the sun,

and it's not this hot.

We've been hiking for God knows how long,

trying to find our next location.

Every single mile out here is excruciating.

This is the hardest thing that I've ever done in my life,

and I'm sure Heather is feeling the exact same way.

Wait, Terra.

I've got to have some shade... Okay.

I'm sorry, guys.

I'm just seriously struggling through this.

I appreciate y'all waiting and taking breaks.

I'm really depleted right now, and I feel super dizzy.

And, uh...

...this is the hardest thing I've ever done.

I can't quit.

Because if I quit...

This is so hard!

I made a commitment to finish the thing.

Can't quit.

We're all still here.

We're all still strong.

We're all still pushing. We're all still kicking.

We're all standing, well, metaphorically.

What we need to do, though... And I know the sun's out.

I know it's high, but we've got to make some more miles.

I have more faith in all four of you

than I have in any person I've ever been on any survival challenge with,

and we can make this. We can do this, all of us.

Yeah, we got this.

Okay, just prop me up in the direction we're going,

and if I veer off, y'all just steer me back.

Okay.

Let's go get it.

Let's go, guys.

-Ready? All right. -Yep.

After a seven-mile journey through the Badlands,

Adam and Heather joined forces

with Tara, Lynsey, and Nathan.

Hi!

But as Heather recovered from heat exhaustion,

lack of resources led to a difficult decision.

We need to get out of this area.

I'm ready for a big win.

My partner, Adam, he really does not care

about anyone but himself.

He was going fishing and catching fish, like a lot of fish,

and he never shared any of it with me.

Now, a 10-mile trek has taken its toll

and exposed a lingering issue with the team.

You know, unfortunately, I truly believe

if he would have shared those fish with me,

I'd be a lot better off.

You've got to put the oxygen mask on yourself

before you can give it to someone else,

and at the time,

I did what I had to do to survive, you know?

It is hot.

Holy mother of bugger.

Adam and Heather do have an issue,

and we don't want any of this animosity plaguing the team.

Right now, we've got to keep moving forward

and get to where we're going safely.

These hills feels like giant mountains.

This is awful.

I am literally going through

the worst experience of my life.

I'm questioning if this is even worth it,

and I don't know if my body can handle this,

but I'm determined to finish this challenge.

There's nothing I can really do

other than just push through as hard as I can.

I'm just going to dig deep because that's who I am.

I'm going to dig deep because I don't know anything else.

You got this.

I've been surviving since I was 10 years old,

so if I come to digging deep,

I can dig a lot deeper than most people out here.

There it is.

-You see it? -Yep.

-Just the lake. -Thank God.

We made it.

Oh, thank bugger for that.

-Oh. -Oh, wow.

Ah, yes, about time.

Beautiful sight.

Food.

-Oh, yes. -A little bit of ways to go.

We've got a new home.

Look, we've got water and shade down there.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

I'm ready to fish.

Oh, my God. I'm ready to fish.

I'm ready to catch fish.

I'm ready to eat fish.

I'm ready for us to eat fish.

Plenty of open water.

Hopefully, some big ones are in there.

Let's do this, guys.

Final push.

I'm hot.

I need to get out of the sun.

I need the shade.

Wait, hold on a second.

Thought I heard something.

I think I heard voices.

I think getting water is a high priority.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

Hey!

I hear people!

I knew I heard voices.

But nobody listened to me.

Heyo!

Sounds like a lot of people.

Naked people!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Naked people!

Who's there?

They're coming. They're getting closer.

Oh, my God.

How many?

Oh, my God. Just us three.

-Yes. -There's five of us.

Oh, my God, yes.

Oh, my God!

We come through the woods and meet up with three women.

Hi.

-Kaiela. -Adam. Hey guys.

Where are you guys coming from?

We have had the hugest, hugest hike.

Oh, my God. Yes.

-Kaiela. -Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, my God.

My brain and my body are just wiped.

But I am so excited to see people.

How long have y'all been here?

We've been here two days.

Oh, actually more like a day and a half.

From the strength of multiple caiman wins.

Caiman killers.

Kaiela, Malorie, and Shell

covered 10 more miles of Proving Grounds.

You got it, Kaiela. We have so much faith in you.

Before finally arriving at a new location.

Whoa, there's the lake, guys.

Yeah, I told you I saw... -There's the lake.

The last major water source on their path

to the day 40 extraction point, 19 miles away.

We're more than capable. We've proven that.

We're powerful together.

You know what, we have enough bedding

for all of us right now.

I think with what we have, we can all split it here.

After we rest, too,

we're more than willing to help.

We have water, guys. Come on.

Let's go to camp, guys, so y'all can rest.

Y'all are tired.

Shell, Kaiela, and I,

we've developed a bond to where we're a family.

We help each other. We care for each other.

And all of a sudden, we have these five new people with us.

And it feels a little hectic right now.

But I hope they're team players.

And hopefully, we can work together as a family

and get along.

Here's our stream.

This is a beautiful stream.

Nice, clean water.

Nispero Nate, are you seeing all the nisperos?

I sure am.

They're hard to resist.

Plenty of nispero.

Guys, there's a nice lake here.

Big lake.

Of all the locations,

it seems like this is the best so far.

We have a massive lake.

And who knows what else to be discovered out here.

Come to our humble home

and make yourselves comfortable.

Doesn't look like much yet.

It's a work in progress, but we're getting there.

So you can sit up on the platform if you want,

rest your feet, and then we're going to make a canopy.

Guys, there's water right here.

Yeah, y'all can get up here and relax, guys.

You guys got some caiman.

Yeah, we got a huge one.

That's the head right there.

Pretty big.

Nice, guys.

-I was alone for 12 days. -Wow.

Caught one by myself.

Good job.

The amount that these girls have done,

I feel like it just gives me this inner willpower.

I mean, these girls are badasses.

Like, they've killed caiman on their own.

I want to be a badass right along with them.

And I am so, so excited to be a part of their group.

We're working on a frame right now for a canopy.

This can sleep to people up here and down here.

We'll get some more stabilizers on here

just to make sure it supports all our weight.

I don't know. We might need to extend.

Add on some more if you need.

But there's a ton of palm fronds

that I already cut down there

that I just need to haul back up.

Maybe we could have people getting palm fronds,

and then we can have people building.

Me and Heather are going to cut some wire sticks,

and I'm going to cut some poles for our thing.

Let's do it.

They've done a great job building their shelter.

There are eight of us.

I don't want to make them feel

like they have to be pushed out of their shelter

to accommodate us.

I want us all to kind of have our own room.

Good job.

We have the idea to kind of build off of their shelter.

Build a platform, add some palm frond to the top,

makes a nice roof.

With the fire underneath, kind of make a cubby.

And then Nate is really on board

with getting a roof on the main platform

so everybody can be comfortable

and safe from the rain.

Then I think that sleep will be okay.

I'm cutting poles for the roof to latch the thatching onto.

Right now, they don't have much of a shelter.

It's just a platform with a bare framework over the top.

So we can just put cross beams in our shelter,

get a little bit of thatching

so that we can lay the thatching across the roof.

I'm just gonna keep making a platform.

I'm not trying to make it fancy.

I'm just trying to make it feasible.

I don't have any energy left.

It's so sad.

Getting through this.

At this point, my energy levels are so depleted.

But the sun is going down

and we need to get this shelter finished.

How's everybody feeling, guys?

Make sure you hydrate. Make sure you take a break.

You need to take a break? Take a break, guys. Don't overdo it.

I'm gonna go get some water.

You all right?

I'm great.

With Heather, I feel it's like this

lingering thing that won't go away.

I don't like to let little things turn into big things, but obviously,

you know, it was a big thing that I didn't realize it was.

It feels a bit, but I don't know what to do from now.

It really sucks, actually, to be honest.

Ow, ow, ow, ow.

How are you feeling, Adam?

Never thought I'd be the villain,

so I'm just sort of chilling with that as well.

Villain?

Honestly, man, when we shared everything as a team,

and so that's kind of where I was like,

-"Well, that's, you know, it's not cool." -Yeah.

It's just like, there's more to it.

-So, I caught so many fish and shared it. -Yeah.

And then I eat a few fish when people are sleeping and...

At the beginning of this challenge,

I really did feel like I was doing the majority of the work.

So, it felt fair for me to just do a little bit of catch up.

Heather being cranky at me,

you know, I do feel that it's affecting my challenge.

The scab got tore off again today and it's just like, "all right."

That sucks.

Adam just keeps justifying what he did.

He could have said sorry but he didn't, he chose not to.

And he wasn't caring about anybody surviving except for him.

I say, say it and get it out in the open then.

"Sorry" goes a long way, I guess, that's all I'm saying.

"Sorry" goes a long way.

There should be no reason that we have any of this.

Yeah, there's a monkey on the back. We just need to, like, get it out there.

-Yep. -It's like, it just needs to be put to bed.

I agree with you.

I love having the additional people, the additional hands,

but it seems like there is some kind of drama.

I really hope that it doesn't go any further,

and that we all can just get along

and continue to be drama-free

like me and my... ...have been this whole time.

Can we have a chat, Heather?

I am not feeling good right now, so I need to relax.

Definitely need to have a chat.

Well, when I'm feeling better, we can chat.

I have been through hell out here today,

and I know that Adam and I definitely need to have a long talk.

But we're trying to get our shelter put together,

and I don't have time

to just talk about the elephant in the room.

What a long freaking day today.

I can't cut any more goddamn poles. I'm exhausted.

I would love to build a roof tonight,

but we are so tired.

And I don't think we can get everything done before dark.

Wasn't quite as successful as I hoped.

It's almost done, but I'll finish it tomorrow.

Huh?

Listen.

Let's be quiet.

What the was that?

Something just went by us.

-We have no idea what the it was. -And it's huge.

It sounded massive behind us.

-Um... -It did not care that we were here.

It sounded really loud and it was just right there where our heads are.

It had no care in the world about us.

Stop.

Where is it?

-Oh, my God! -Hey, hey, get back!

-Go! -What the!

Listen.

Oh, my God!

Hey, hey, get back, go!

What the?

What the was that?

Whatever it was, it was huge.

And I could hear it, like, kind of to the left of us.

Terra is going to check it out.

-Terra is going? -Yep.

I don't see any eye shine at all.

I hear it.

It's way out there now.

Going back.

I'm pretty sure it's gone by now,

but that doesn't mean that it's not gonna

come back tonight when everyone is asleep.

So, we'll see.

It's exploring our area,

and it doesn't give a about us.

No.

That was really weird.

I heard something again this morning, cruising around.

It is creepy because you literally can't even

see, like, your hand in front of you.

That's how dark it gets out here.

There's no light pollution.

You're trying to go off of your other senses.

And you can hear it,

but it's terrifying because you can't see it.

Yeah, it kind of kept us all on our toes all night, I think.

What do you think the plan is for today?

-I wanna build a wall around the back... -Yeah.

...'cause last night sketched me out.

-Yeah. -Get some fish. That's my plan.

-Yeah. -I think that's a good plan. I like that plan.

Now that we have eight people together

living amongst each other,

you know, to me it means more hands

to help maintaining the shelter and catching fish.

But it also means now there's eight mouths to feed.

We need to make sure we have enough protein for all of us.

What do you think? Think that's good?

-That's perfect. Thank you. -Mmm-hmm.

Give us a little cush.

We definitely got some extra protection.

Fishing, we will go.

I've got the cast net if you wanna

-get some bait? -Well, there you go. Even better.

-We're going to the lake? -Yep.

I'm so ready for protein.

I need some more water.

Before you go, Heather, I just wanna say something.

I've been a complete idiot.

I was wearing my pride a bit, and my ego.

I didn't wanna apologize for eating the fish.

But I do know it was an absolute dick thing to do

without asking you.

At the time, I was really struggling.

And right now I can see you're struggling on the walk.

-Like it really come to a front. -Yeah.

And if I'm honest, I'm not actually enjoying the challenge right now

because of us not getting along.

I can tell there's, like, tension between us.

Regardless of how you feel,

I'm gonna make sure I look after you

and you get to the end of this.

Ultimately, I am so bloody sorry.

That's really sweet of you.

I accept your apology,

and I really appreciate you saying that to me.

It means a lot. I don't like the offness,

-'cause everybody seems to be such a great tribe here. -Yeah.

So, definitely.

I truly feel like his apology was sincere.

It was amazing, and I'm very grateful.

The air has been cleared. We're back to good.

And, you know, I'm just ready to work with him

and the rest of the tribe to get out of here.

-We did kill it in the beginning. -Yeah.

-It feels good to clear that, you know? Like... -Yeah.

Glad we sorted it out,

because now I'm feeling a lot better,

and I can get my head back into this challenge.

And, you know, get to the end.

I'm very happy that we're back to where, where we can kick ass.

-Boom. -Phoo!

-Back to... -Eeh. I know. Get some fish.

-And here's a lake guys. -God, that's beautiful.

-Ooh, nice. -Look at that. Look at that, guys.

We've had barely a stream in both of our locations.

Look at this. Look at how big it is.

-Let's go utilize it. -Let's go.

Seeing this lake, this is why we risked it.

There's fish everywhere, and I know it.

It's time to put some proteins in my body because I'm hungry.

This right here, this is gonna put me back in the saddle again.

Did you hear that?

Something belly-flopped out there.

I reckon it could be a good caiman fishing spot.

At this point, we haven't seen caiman,

but we've heard them.

So, I'm super hopeful that we will be able to at least

get one big enough to feed us all.

Whole lot of ducks.

Get it, Terra. You could probably get those with your bow, huh?

Probably.

You know, I don't have a fishing kit,

but I always feel like I need to contribute,

and the only way I can do that

is to get out with my bow, and try to get something.

So, let's get these fish, let's get this protein.

And give it a shot and see.

Looks like it could be a great place for cast netting,

far, far better than anything we've encountered so far

with just narrow and choked streams.

I'm gonna throw the net, get some bait real quick.

To get a caiman, what was successful for us

and what we've learned in our past experiences setting lines,

is you have to catch a pretty big fish

and cut its head off to use as caiman bait.

-Oh, there's some good ones. -Something?

-Oh, oh, whoa! -Oh, it's a nice one, look at him. He's a nice-sized one.

That's what I saw.

This is gonna be hard to get. I'm just gonna drag 'em back to shore

'cause I got so much weed in here.

Oh, God. This is heavy with all the weeds.

There's a few baits.

Is that a little sunfish?

Nathan caught these little minnows, actually did really well.

So, now we have bait for the day.

The more throws we can do with that cast net,

the more fish we can get, the more bait we can get.

And the plan is, we're gonna try to use these smaller fish

to catch some bigger fish,

so we can use the bigger fish for caiman bait

'cause the caiman's the ultimate goal at the moment.

I'm so grateful for Nate. It really helped me from

having to be searching for bait.

Yeah, super stoked.

Whew, let's do this.

I want to get to where the ducks land all the time.

And I'm gonna look around and see if I can find anything to eat.

I'm still always feeling pressure

to succeed in some way, one way or another.

But I kind of wanna be part of all of the things we're doing,

not just one or two, I want,

I wanna be a part of everything.

And having all these new people around,

it's very hard for me to figure out my place in the group.

I'm just gonna hang out,

see if anything comes along,

and hopefully not just get eaten up by ants over here.

I'm gonna sit out here for a while.

I do wish some ducks or some ...or something,

and just land in the water.

I have no kind of bait for them.

I don't have a call for them.

So, when it comes to these ducks,

the only thing I can do is sit out here

and hope something comes up.

I'm finally in a area where I can shoot,

and I really wanna actually get a kill

to prove that I belong in this group.

Here's a duck.

A whole slew of those ducks just came out of nowhere.

I must be doing good, because this bird doesn't know I'm here.

He's 10 feet from me.

This bird doesn't know I'm here.

So...

Damn it!

You know, it may not have been a successful kill hunt,

but I'm still gonna try.

I'm still gonna keep going out and doing my part.

We've got plenty of protein here,

we just gotta get it.

I don't know if there's gonna be anything in there or not.

-There's a lot of weeds. -And this marsh is heavy.

Yeah.

It's just too much energy for too little fish.

Oh, this stuff is thick.

Oh, God, it's getting stuck.

It's so damn weedy everywhere.

I've never had to fish in weeds like this. I'm a little bit worried

this lake will provide enough for us to make it to extraction.

Yeah, the fishing seems to be a bit slow, heh?

Fishing today really wasn't successful.

The water is so shallow and goes out so far here,

I think the goal of just to find deeper water,

and deeper water usually yields bigger fish.

So, that idea is very appealing to me.

Luckily, Nathan caught fish in his cast net.

You got quite a few so far.

-I think, like, seven. -Just gotta get this net open.

-I don't know what that is, but it looks juicy. -Yeah.

-Here, you can put 'em in my bag. -Awesome.

There's a lot of weed, and I just need to find a better spot

and perhaps a little deeper that didn't have as much weed where I can catch 'em...

Looks like there's another channel this way.

We have to be able to get past this vegetation,

take us out to deeper water.

Hey, Nate, where's the fishies?

Oh, wow. Look.

We should totally boil 'em up.

Oh, that would be awesome, to have a fish broth soup.

-Yes. -We ended up with 13 fish.

I think we're gonna make some fish soup out of 'em.

Not everything is a big win, but we're out here for survival.

Stew has nutrients, guys.

-Nice. -I love it.

Nathan, thank you so much for the fish.

-Yeah. -Nice job, Nate.

After just having, like... ...and no protein for, like, eight days,

we need to replenish our electrolytes and our salts.

And just having this broth will be so good for us,

but it's just certainly not enough for all of us.

Obviously, a caiman would be absolutely ideal.

-Hopefully, they keep on coming to all of us, guys. -Mmm-hmm.

-Protein, protein, protein, can't get enough of it. -Yeah.

The biggest stress is that we're not gonna have enough energy for our trek.

We all need food

'cause it took everything we had to get over here.

And I'm worried about the rest of the mileage.

With only two weeks left in the 40-mile challenge,

the survivalists still face 19 miles of unforgiving badlands

to reach the day 40 extraction point.

A brutal journey that will lead them up and over

stretches of steep hill country

through large swathes of dense, snake-filled jungle

and across miles of unrelenting sun-blasted grasslands.

And with only small limited water sources along the way,

their current lake location represents

their best and last chance to secure the large amount

of protein they'll need to cover the 19 miles.

So, we know that we've got a massive walk coming up.

And, you know, we're doing more miles for an extraction

than I think anyone ever has.

So, how we're gonna do this?

-Um... -Okay, what do you guys think about a two-day extraction?

It'd be nice to punch out the whole thing in one day.

-I can't... I don't think so. -Like, no?

I mean, I'm telling you right now. Like, I know my body,

and I know that a 10-mile hike nearly almost took me out.

So, trying to make a day of a 20-mile hike,

I don't wanna come all the way 39 days,

- and then... - You're worried that, not be able to finish...

Yeah.

-That would be terrible. -Yeah.

And there's a chance that that happens more to just you then, too.

-I mean, look at how many of us have had really hard hikes. -Yeah.

Definitely agree with Heather. I've had one heat stroke,

she's had two heat strokes out here.

And that's just, that's the last thing we need.

Yeah, a two-day would be way smarter with where we're all at right now.

Especially for Heather's situation.

-You know, she's been getting pretty banged up. -Yeah.

I think it's really important that she has two day, for sure.

Cons about it is, we're gonna have to

build a shelter halfway through and find water.

Yeah, gonna be rough.

Yeah.

We're not talking a little hike, right?

I mean, we're, like, doing, like, a marathon.

You know? And I am definitely nervous.

We're definitely all steering more towards

-two day for sure. -Two day.

-And I guess... -I think, with... Yeah, what we've been intaking right now,

and where we're all kind of at, I think too,

-if like you had to make the decision today... -Definitely, for sure.

-...I'd say two. -Yep, I agree.

The reality of getting to the end of this,

getting to extraction, is really setting in.

We need a big win.

If not, we're screwed.

Hey, buddy. What are you doing?

I'm gonna take down some of these cecropia trees

and build a boat to get across the lake.

I can't wait to see how this thing works.

This is the tree that should be buoyant.

It's got these very distinctive rings around the trunk.

It's hollow inside, like bamboo.

The soft, hollow trunk of the cecropia tree

can grow up to 30 feet tall

and was used by indigenous tribes

to build shelters, boats, and primitive irrigation systems.

Count me in. I'll definitely manpower for you.

-Awesome. -Nathan wants to build a raft

to find bigger fish.

The idea is very appealing to me

because the hike here was really harsh on me.

And this extraction scares me.

This is quite the distance.

This has never been done before.

Forty miles in 40 days.

So, I need a lot of protein before I take this hike.

-We can just take turns. -Okay.

Adam and Heather, that little snafu they had,

it seemed very tense.

But Heather is a lot more friendly than I thought she would be.

I haven't felt any sort of bad intentions coming out from her.

Let's go, timber!

Timber!

-Hmm, nice. -Whoo!

-And you wanna do what, four together? -Yep.

-What are we doing? -I am helping him chop down a tree.

For what?

He wants to make a raft.

Blister. Ooh. Look at that.

Oh, yeah. You better stop.

Y'all want me to join in?

-Sure. -Yeah, sure.

Whoo.

Okie-okie.

I'm stoked that Nathan is building the raft.

Oh, just drag it over here. Ooph.

If we can get it floating good enough,

I think it's gonna be a good thing to have.

-The ants are something else. -Yeah.

But also, this whole time,

Lynsey, Nathan and I, we're the only ones as the original group

that made it all the way to where we're at now.

That should do the trick. We might have to let it dry out a bit, though.

...I think so.

But now that we're a big group,

I really do appreciate whatever it was that kept us together.

I couldn't be more proud of our three.

-Thanks a lot. -Yeah, man.

All right, now I need some water.

That was a lot of work.

This one's all the way the frick out here.

I'm afraid, did I lose my fish,

or if it's on there 'cause of this stupid marsh?

There's eight of us now, so we need more protein.

So, I gotta definitely pump up my fishing game,

make sure we get more food out.

Hopefully, there's fish in the passive line.

Specifically, I want a wolf fish head

because the caiman seem to like wolf fish heads.

Right now, we're all kind of depleted and we need protein.

And I need to set up a caiman line tonight or we get no caiman.

I have a fish.

-You do? -Nice.

-All right, check this guy out, we got a nice one. -Oh, we got a fish.

Oh, look at that, it's a beautiful fish.

-It's a nice, thick fish. -That is a beautiful fish.

Hello, my beauties ♪

-Hello. -Hello.

Check this one out, baby girl.

Nice!

-Girls, we're getting it, girls. -Yeah, we is.

We can set up a caiman line.

Through trial and error. I feel like I pretty much got it down.

Like, I'm able to set these lines and catch caiman.

Now, I wanna share all my knowledge with them

so they can all set lines as well.

-Mmm-hmm. -They can feel the hook,

-so you gotta use small hooks. -Okay.

I mean, yeah, that one would be perfect.

I feel like I have a huge advantage

just having Malorie be my teacher.

Not this palm, but the next palm.

We'll leave a caiman line right there.

So, I am trying to soak up every little bit

of caiman knowledge I can.

You want quite a bit of line there,

so that it gives him a chance to take it,

feel for it, and then swallow it.

-There's drag? -Yeah.

-Plenty of drag. -All right, I'm on it.

Okay, cool.

I'm always with gators. This is what I do at home.

But I'm learning from Mal today about setting the line.

In particular, the big fish heads is what attracts the caiman.

So, she has the recipe for success,

so I'm getting the ingredients and we're gonna get this done.

-You wanna set one and I'll set one? -Yeah.

And then one of these little branches out here,

we'll just kind of try to hang it from there.

That work okay?

At our last location...

-Caiman. -It's a caiman.

Where?

...me and Terra and Nate got caiman.

Ah!

-Wah! -yeah!

But I feel like that was Terra's epic moment

even though we were all part of that.

Ah, I feel so much better!

I'm excited that this time I might get a chance

to have this epic, amazing moment for myself.

I would love that.

And that will be set.

And I feel like this would be just, like, the next step up

to prove myself as a survivalist

and this empowered woman.

All right, so this line is gonna be out here,

and I'll just tie this to the tree.

So, my goal is to kill a caiman.

And I'm gonna focus on really embracing this as my journey,

and really embracing this as my moment.

Yeah, let me tie it right here.

Yeah.

-Now, we've set our first caiman lines here. -Whoo.

I feel like we do have, like, this whole, like,

power fisherwoman vibe going on.

It's like, "fish, ladies fishing today," and I just love that.

I love having, like, my fishing gals.

-Caiman lines, yes, whoo! -Whoo!

Caiman killers!

Lynsey is excited to get this caiman.

I feel like the girls, especially, have just been killing it.

So, this whole time, she's obviously learning a lot,

which is great, I get it.

But as a team, as a new tribe, I want to be part of it.

All of you ladies are doing amazing.

-How's everyone feeling? -Tired, but good.

-I woke up feeling great and then... -Yeah.

Whoa!

Hit the wall, like, walking back up here

I was like, "Holy crap."

I'm beat.

That's the thing, too, we're all new to this.

Like, none of us have done the 40-day challenge before.

We, you know, we don't know...

-We don't know what it's like, yeah. -What days...

-What days... Yeah. -What days are harder.

We're all depleted and we're all tired.

Right now, getting a caiman is priority.

I freaking studied those caiman,

and what you wanna do is, like,

basically at the crack of dawn...

When you have the caiman lines out,

-get your ass out there. -You're gonna go out there

-and check to see your caiman lines. -Yeah.

-Before the sun comes up... -At the crack of dawn.

We're getting the caiman, yeah.

I'll show you.

I feel like these are the proving grounds here,

and so if I put in the effort and pull in a caiman,

that's gonna be huge.

Is it tight? Is our bait left on there?

Yeah, still bait on there.

It looks like a little bit might have come off, though, huh?

So maybe it...

There's a bush along the edge.

You should be walking up on it.

Keep going a little bit farther.

Right around where your feet are at.

There should be one right around there.

Is that one tight?

You got something on there or...

No?

It's gone?

Yeah, then I bet you a caiman came and got it.

Well, dang, guys. At least we know that they are here.

And I mean, it took the bait.

Yeah, we'll keep trying.

Checked the caiman lines, definitely been messed with.

The one that the fish was on it is definitely...

Fish is gone.

But unfortunately, no caiman.

I will come back out and probably reset those bad boys.

Yep, we'll get another.

Wait, let me check the line that I have out here.

-You wanna come with me, Adam? -Yeah.

-Oh, it's right under there. -Okay.

There's a fish head. And then everyone just set your line,

and I'm gonna check this line just to see if there's a fish on there.

-This line here, Malorie? -There's no fish head.

What the heck? It was under there.

Dude, I can't believe it's gone.

There's a hole chewed through the bottom of that little thing,

there's a square.

Something came up here and got it.

Anything could have taken it, but in my mind

it just verifies that there is a caiman nearby.

Wow.

This caiman is close and we need to catch it.

Adam's here. He can throw the cast net.

-Yeah, I can do that. -Yeah, throw the cast net,

see if we can get another fish real quick. We'll use its head.

Okay.

We're so hungry, okay? We're all hungry.

You can hear each other's bellies growling.

And there's so many things that can come from this lake.

But so far, it's just not working.

Nothing is working.

Yeah, something on this line.

-On my line? -Yeah.

All right, I'm coming. Are you gonna grab it?

Yeah, I'll grab it.

Is that a caiman that's flashed?

I'm not sure yet.

-Huh? -I'm not sure there's a fish on.

It's just there's that much weed.

I'm trying to make sure I don't pull it off,

Oh, okay.

Dude, I swear he's flashing, like, right here.

What is it?

Hey, what is it?

There's something on this line.

What is it?

I don't know what that was. It just snapped the line off.

Was it there whenever you got to it and it just snapped?

I think it might have been a caiman. It just bit the line off.

I mean, I wish it would have stayed on or whatever it was.

But that's a good sign.

That's a good sign that there's plenty of stuff to eat here.

We still need to keep getting food.

We still need to keep trying because there's eight mouths to feed.

We need to make sure we have enough protein for all of us.

So, we'll continue fishing and setting our lines for caiman.

-I caught a fish. -Great.

Great Adam and I, now we're back on track again.

I see fishies.

-Yeah, there's a few in there. -Quite a few.

You can see a bit of a change in his attitude, honestly,

and he really is trying to be a supporting role

and a team player, and it was amazing and I'm very grateful.

-Five fish. Good job, Adam! -Plus one more. That's great.

-Bait. We got bait. -Yes, we got bait.

It feels good to be using the cast net and helping you guys out.

I'm so happy, you know.

Yeah, I think all of us are really feeling depleted,

and I really believe it's from a lack of protein.

We're catching a little fish in the cast net

and hopefully we get a bigger win.

But this feels like a mini win for me.

Okay.

Okay. Good.

Put some heads on there and get some lines ready.

Yup, yup.

You know, that caiman just broke off that thing over there,

and all I had was that I had a tiny head on it.

I'm gonna use that whole fish

he's got right there and just use the whole body.

Okay.

All set.

So I've got three leaders set up there, uh,

with a 80-pound braid, and then that's connected to

the foundation of a tree, right, tied down.

This should be an improvement, hopefully.

You go right above the water so other fish don't come up and eat it.

And then the caiman comes up,

reaches up, bites it, the treble hook, he swallows it

and as it swallows it, it's hooked and we need it.

Our bodies are really worn out.

Plus, we have a huge extraction coming up.

Like, this is the time to do or die.

-I hope this works. -Yeah.

Okay. Come on. Let's finish this.

We're just kind of eyeballing the final shape.

My plan is just to put this crossbeam across

-and latch each log to it. -Yeah.

It'll be fine.

So I'm gonna do all of these same knots on this side.

This should be enough.

I left the logs overnight, and they're starting to dry out.

They should be capable of supporting human weight

once the poles are latched together.

Let's see if it works.

It's gonna be a heavy sumbitch.

-Yeah. Yay! -Oh, that's a good sign.

We could just grab everybody and have them

-help us get it onto the water. -Yeah.

-Girl, I got the energy for a little bit, not a lot... -Lynsey!

...but I got some bait in my pocket, so...

-I'm gonna just... -Ay, yo!

You have a piece of bait? Do you have an extra piece?

Just in case I don't have. I just...

We're building the raft. I'm hauling logs down,

and, uh, nobody seems to care.

It's a little annoying.

But if we can get a caiman /\ in the morning, more power to them.

The ladies of the lake got your ass, buddy.

The thing is, if they swallow it,

-they're gonna pretty much be hooked till the morning. -Okay.

Basically at the crack of dawn.

When you have caiman lines out get your ass out.

You're going to go out there and check to see your caiman line.

I'm tired. Everybody's tired. It was a long day. Headed to bed.

Uh, we're hoping for a couple of caiman in the morning

on these caiman lines, and I'm pretty stoked.

All right, we're all going down together.

We're all going down and check the line.

Who's going?

Terra, are you gonna wanna go?

We're on our way to go check our caiman lines this morning.

To see if we get one.

All right, we got this line. It's tight.

Here, will you take the lasso?

I think we have something on it.

You got something on there?

I think we have something on there.

I had tied it on this. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Oh, right there. Right there.

-He's right there. -We got one.

-One second. -Hold on. Hold on.

-Hold on, hold on. -Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Holy. Holy.

All right, we got this line. It's tight.

We got something on there?

-Right there. Right there. -We got one!

-Hold on, hold on. -Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Okay, okay. I got him.

Let's bring him... bring him on land. Bring him on land.

Lasso right here.

Yeah, lasso and get around his legs.

-Yeah, I got it. I got it. -Lasso... pull it, pull it.

Yes, you guys. Yes.

Just pull. Pull. Pull. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Get him on land. Get him on land. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

All right, Lynsey, you get on his back

when we get up here and hit him with that.

Get him on solid ground.

-Hold him down. All the way. -There you go.

-All right. -I got this.

And then let's let Lynsey dispatch this guy.

All right, girls.

All right, oh, you got it?

One, two, three.

-Go. -Yes!

Yeah!

-All right, ladies. -Got him!

-Yes, everybody. -Yes, you guys.

Holy crap. The ladies just got a caiman.

-Aah! -Whoo-hoo!

Yes, caiman!

We're having breakfast, baby.

-Great job, everybody. -That was some great teamwork, you guys.

Honestly, thank you.

Holy crap. It was really worth coming up early.

-Yeah, it was. -That was perfect.

-Guys, I'm so happy I'm gonna cry... -Me, too.

...like, awesome! Yes!

Literally the most the amazing day of my life.

Other than, of course, having babies

and bringing those little turds into the world because they're wonderful.

But, um...

I think that when my kids see this,

they're gonna be really, really proud of me.

And they're gonna like "My mom is such a bad ass."

Like, your mom killed a caiman, dude.

Oh, and to have, like, the support of these

wonderful, wonderful ladies, it's just awesome.

-Yeah, thank you for... -Just to be able to get something like this

to give us the protein that we need,

like, dude, this is so cool. This is so awesome.

Like, thank you for your life, caiman.

Thank you for giving us your life.

Well done, ladies. You just killed it. You smashed it.

To be a part of these amazing women

and to feel like I'm a powerhouse and a badass like them, like...

I killed a caiman.

Oh, my God

Look at this incredible sunrise we get to see.

-These ladies have just tackled... -He's killing it.

They did it all. They caught the bait. They set the line.

They brought the gear. They did everything.

They got this caiman. They earned it.

-And we're all gonna eat it! -Badasses of the badlands.

These are the Proving Grounds and we proved oursleves.

We proved ourselves! Yeah!

They go down there?

What the hell?

Our first caiman as a group!

Yeah, baby!

-Get it, ladies. -Ladies of the lake!

-Beautiful day. -Yeah, beautiful day.

Beautiful day in the neighborhood.

We have a caiman.

-We tried to wake you up. -Cool. Thanks, guys.

Well, this... this is some.

I'm happy we got food.

It's just I wanted to be part of it with everybody.

This is supposed to be a... a big tribe thing.

We were like, "We're going, we're going. Terra, are you coming?"

You were out. Outskis.

Coming back up, Terra was very upset

that we did not wake her up, and this is a huge win.

It's something that we all need,

so, that kind of caught me off guard. I didn't expect that reaction.

We're so excited. We just got a caiman.

Whoo! Actually, so all the ladies were there.

Check this out. We've got Kaiela who was there.

Lynsey. Obviously, I was there. Yeah, course.

Malorie.

-And Shell. And Adam came with his... Yeah. -Sure did.

I don't feel very included at the moment, and I don't wanna say anything

because I don't want to be that person.

But for me, whether it's a big win, or a small win,

I wanted to be there for that.

So okay, this has got to come off my chest before it gets any worse.

I feel left out of a lot of things.

I feel... - We did try to wake you up this morning.

I feel like I'm interrupted a lot

and I probably should have said something.

But, uh, I would not...

I don't think I would've left this camp until I got

you awake and said, "Hey, hey, you gonna go with us? We're going down there."

And I wanted that moment with y'all.

I just... I wanted to be there with y'all. It's just hard.

All of a sudden, Terra has a huge, huge issue right now,

and I'm like, "Yo, dude, you're being super negative

and it's bringing the whole team down."

So.

I don't think I would have left this camp until I got

you awake and said, "Hey, hey, you want to go with us? We're going down there."

And I wanted that moment with y'all.

I just... I wanted to be there with y'all.

I guess the reason why I didn't go out of my way, it wasn't to leave you out.

Not to be a, but I looked.

I'm like, "If we have a caiman down there, this is my chance to get a kill."

I didn't put it in my head that it was like

it would have been awesome for you to just be there for the moment.

-But we did, and we tried, like, three times. -We all did.

-We're like, "Terra, Terra." -I was, like, "Terra, are you coming?"

I'm glad, though, even though it was hard for you right now and I can tell,

I'm glad that you did open this all up and just tell us all of us today.

I don't really think any of us...

-I'm sorry, Terra. -...genuinely thought we were gonna get a caiman.

I don't know.

Being trans, non-binary,

I guess I'm just, uh, I'm used to being the outcast in my life.

And I kind of feel like once again

that's the direction that this is taking on.

So, I'm still pretty bummed.

I don't know. We'll see what happens.

Hey, Terra, will you come with me and we can collect some firewood?

Uh, yeah.

-So I just wanted to actually not get firewood but talk. -Oh.

Even though all the crap that we've been through

and how much Terra's attitude drives me nuts,

and sometimes I want to flick Terra in the forehead,

uh, Terra's my best friend out here

and I just don't want there to be any animosity or weirdness.

I want us to stay strong.

Uh, I feel like you have

completely distanced yourself from me.

And we were, like, ride or die to begin with.

I don't know. I felt alone. I felt excluded.

I felt like nobody gave a that I was still here.

-Yeah. -And all of y'all are down there

hooting and hollering, and I'm once again just left behind.

And that was just. that was like the icing on the cake for me.

And I'm glad you talked to the whole group about it.

I don't want from... I don't want you to feel that way.

But it was just such a powerful and amazing moment for myself.

And I feel like, you know, in that moment you did kind of take it away

and make it about yourself,

-even though it's not. -I'm sorry. I don't mean it to be.

I didn't mean it to be... ass like that.

I appreciate you saying so.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

If any of us gets any kind of a win,

we should all be happy for that person.

We should all be rooting for that person, for each and every one of us.

Yeah, I agree. I agree with you 100%.

So I love that you said that and brought it up like that.

And, uh, maybe it's all in my head.

-There it is. -Yeah.

Whenever I feel kind of outcasted a little bit,

I think that might just be my brain

because of, you know, past experiences.

And as I'm talking to Lynsey, I realize, for me,

this challenge is a huge mental game.

I did try to wake you up, I promise.

I did try to wake you up, but I should have tried harder

And I will do my best to not leave you out of group.

And to go do with you.

-I appreciate that. -You are my, you know,

-my best friend first, my number one first... -Yeah.

...so, and I don't want to lose that to... -I don't, either.

...pride, or whatever or, you know, ego or whatever...

-Yeah, I don't either. -...stupid, so...

You've really opened me up. You've really done a lot for me.

I want to finish this strong with you.

-I love you, man. -I love you too.

I really do.

You know, Lynsey and I are still a good, happy family.

We're still tight. We're still good.

-I really do love you. -I love you too.

I'm not here to be a selfish human.

And I think that... that I'm gonna do better.

-So don't worry. We're good. -Okay.

It would mean absolutely everything to me

to finish this challenge with Terra.

And it makes me happy to feel like I have a family,

like a real little naked weirdo family out here.

-I'm glad we talked, man. -Yeah, me too.

-You guys ready to gut a caiman? -Yeah!

Thank you. We're very grateful.

How tall do you think this sucker is then?

Five... Five feet.

-I am so excited for this meal. I can taste it. -Me, too.

Oh, my God, we need this so bad.

This is just gonna push us all the way to extraction.

After this, I'll swim across the lake.

Extraction is right around the corner

and that protein, that's the fuel

that's going to literally ignite that rocket booster to get you over that final edge.

I've been really feeling down. Since having the heat stroke

my energy levels have been at zero,

so this is huge. This is a huge win.

It's definitely a game changer for us.

-There's his little... Yeah. -Peepee?

Sick.

Anything with a tiny bit of fat on it.

-There's no fat in there, Nate. -This has a little fat on it.

Do not eat the penis.

-There's nothing wrong with eating the penis. -That's gross, Nate.

Eat the penis.

Except for Kaiela, everyone was shocked

that I was going to eat the penis of the caiman,

as if it was some poisonous organ or something, which is ridiculous.

If you have a food, it is far better to use that food

than to simply ignore it hoping to get something else in the future.

Even if that means eating the penis from the caiman.

Yuck.

-Did you grab the peepee? -Yes, I did.

I've never tried caiman penis, and I really want to.

I don't like anything to go to waste.

I'll eat the entire animal if I can.

We'll just roast that up and eat it.

I have mad respect for Nathan.

I will take a big old bite of that.

I mean, he's not scared of what kind of meat to eat.

He'll eat every part of something

which I really appreciate about him, because I'm the same way.

All right, so this is the caiman penis, and I'm cooking it right now.

I'm so excited to eat this and it feels so weird to say.

-Nathan, are you ready? -Yep.

I'll let you have first pick.

I can't watch this.

-Not bad. -What'd you think?

Little grisly.

It's got a salty flavor in the middle.

We were able to share a warm caiman penis

over the fire, and it was lovely.

-Not bad, though. -No, not at all.

Food's food. Mayday.

I've got a caiman penis stuck in my teeth right now.

It's disgusting, like, there's a million more things to eat on this caiman.

You're gonna eat caiman?

Like, what is wrong with you?

If you can start on the back feet, that'd be cool.

So back home, I like to cook most of my animals

in a pit with hot rocks.

I feel like we should do the head and the legs.

-I'd love to. -Let's do it.

The pit's a good idea.

It's another way for us to conserve food.

It's actually a great way because we're cooking the caiman three ways.

So right now, by cooking it, by smoking it

and then him cooking it in the pit,

that's gonna be until tomorrow that it'll be ready.

-I'll go start working on a pit. -Awesome. Nate.

I love Nate's ideas.

As a kid, my grandparents would cook meat underground,

and it was some of the most amazing meat.

So I'm excited about Nathan's plan.

My grandpa showed me how to do it.

His family is originally from northern Mexico.

They make what's called barbacoa.

It sounds like the English word barbecue, but it's not.

It refers to an indigenous way of cooking underground.

After the bull fights, my great great grandfather would take the bull head

and cook it in a pit that way.

It doesn't necessarily preserve the food,

but because it can keep it at boiling point for a very long time,

it can keep it in there, ready to eat, for up to three days.

And it just tastes good.

Just getting a couple of rocks and dig a pit here.

Do you need any help digging a pit or anything?

-Yeah, that'd be great. -Okay.

I've only ever pit cooked a pig, a whole pig before.

Mmm, maybe get it about a foot and a half, or two feet deep.

It's a very simple, ancient cooking method.

Essentially, you dig a pit, you fill it with firewood,

the rocks on top of the firewood,

get the rocks really, really hot.

All the firewood burns away,

rocks drop to the bottom of the pit, forming a cooking element.

On top of that, you put leaves to protect the meat.

Then goes the meat.

And then, on top of that, goes more leaves,

and then, you cover the whole thing with a cap of dirt.

Most primitive tribal communities

would use, like, a type of pit cooking.

Um, it's all very similar methods.

I think we'd better, I think, leave it in eight hours.

Okay, cool.

Any edible, large, green leaves around here

that we could, uh, put around the meat?

What about those leaves that we were sleeping on, that got all messed up?

-Plantain leaves? -Yeah.

All right. I'm gonna go see if I can find that plantain for us.

Plantain is in the banana family,

which should not create any toxicity when heated,

and add some, probably, pretty good flavor into our meat.

So, we got a plantain here. One here, it's a smaller one.

And then, actually, a little baby one over here.

And we're gonna be utilizing these leaves

to wrap the caiman legs and head in, for our pit cooking.

Getting close to being ready.

We'll cover the entire surface with rocks, and then, light it up.

So, this is what we're cooking in the pit. It's not that much.

Okay, okay.

Yeah, you can lay it here. We'll cut little slices off.

And if somebody wants to collect a bunch of skewers?

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Right here.

We could put the ribs on top of this rack and try and smoke 'em.

Do you wanna do a double layer grill?

Nate's doing his pit.

I think we're gonna cook our stuff different.

Nate, I'm very excited to see this in progress.

-This is very cool looking. -Thanks.

We have to get it going hot enough

so the rocks get to 800 degrees.

Look at this beautiful meat, guys.

Cook 'em up.

All of this meat can go in there, too.

Nice.

I'm gonna start getting it ready.

I need all the leaves now, guys. I'm closing it up.

Can you grab that leaf, guys?

And we get all the meat wrapped up, ready to go.

It'll go down into the earth and do a slow cooked process.

You don't want anything sticking out. Okay.

We're already getting nice and hot. Yikes.

It's basically working like a steam cooker.

Do you think it will last until morning?

-If we waited until morning? -Yeah.

That would be cool.

That's basically the lid of the cooker.

Looks good.

-Yep. Thanks. -Good work.

-Yeah. -Yeah, girl.

Mmm, that meat looks so good.

We gonna eat.

Sharing one caiman as a group

is definitely the highlight of this whole challenge.

And it just makes the misery that we have gone through so worth it.

All right, I think this heart is done.

And I think it would be awesome

if all of us had a nibblet of it

and we shared our heart together.

I think it would be very symbolic.

-Hell, yeah. -Yeah, baby.

All right. Here's to everybody here.

This is the wolf pack.

To the wolves!

-Our first caiman kill as a den. -Yes.

Take a bite of that heart.

-Rip it open, yeah. -Mmm.

-Lynsey, take it. -Yeah!

You have to eat the heart of your kill.

And so we eat the heart, and we each take a bite.

So, all of us,

the whole entire wolf pack, gets a bite of the heart this time.

Wolf pack is my crew. It's all eight of us.

It's the remaining eight. We are the wolf pack.

-It's good. -Yeah. Yeah.

Some of us hadn't had protein in, like, 11 days.

This is a very much needed nutrient in our body.

I mean, my brain, literally, like, woke up

when I was able to eat some of that.

Thank you so much, ladies. You just smashed it.

Lynsey, thank you for this.

Oh, you're welcome.

-Lynsey has turned into a caiman killer. -Yep.

Mmm. Oh, my God.

Time to open the barbacoa pit.

We're just gonna dig down very carefully, until we hit the leaf layer,

blow all the dirt away and carefully peel back the leaves.

-What are we doing, guys? -Digging up breakfast.

Nathan's pit fire, or barbacoa.

Is the ground warm where you're digging?

-Oh, yeah. -Nice.

-Do you want me to open it? -Yeah.

Look at that. What do you guys think?

Does it all look cooked?

-Is it raw still? -I think it's done.

It's just...

Mmm.

Here, Nate, don't put it in the dirt. Put it in the pot.

Sure enough, the meat is fully cooked.

Didn't have to do anything. We didn't have to sit around watching it.

We didn't have to skin the legs.

We were able to utilize all the meat from the legs and the head.

Mmm, that is good.

How's the head and...

-Good. -Mmm.

-It's so good. -Mmm.

That is the best barbacoa I've ever tasted.

I've never had pit meat before.

Those banana leaves made it phenomenal.

It was delicious. I think it might have been

my favorite way to eat the meat.

Look at the fat, the way it's pulling apart. Like...

Success, Nate.

That was a good breakfast. Thank you, Nate.

Excuse.

Was there more pieces of meat in here?

Ah, the meat's almost gone.

Holy

-Yeah, what meat? -We literally...

This is the meat that we have left.

It's gone. We ate it all.

Oh, you're kidding.

-Oh, no. -We made quick work of that.

That sucker's done for sure.

This caiman went a lot faster than I expected,

because there's eight of us now.

We're gonna need another caiman.

So, what are we gonna do for the next 10 days?

Try to get more food?

If not... Like...

We have some major hiking ahead of us to do.

We've still got ten days in the challenge,

and knowing how far we have left to go,

we need another big win for our tribe,

because if we don't, finishing this is gonna be hell.

You wanna help us get this in the water real quick?

Yeah, mate.

-We don't need to lift it way up. -Are you dragging it?

We're trying to.

-Don't know. -Holy freaking heck.

Just kind of slide it forward.

We got the caiman a couple of days ago,

but we literally had it all eaten by the next day.

Probably put away about 15 to 20 lb of meat between the eight of us.

The reality is, is that we still need some protein.

Look at your boat, Nate.

It's floating. There's no one on it yet.

I want to use the raft

because the edge of the lake is very thick with vegetation.

It's also very swampy, marshy. So, it would be a lot quicker

to get around the entire shoreline of the lake with a raft.

Also, it could take us out to deeper water.

We could just drop lines straight down.

She floats.

Yay, buddy.

Nice job, Nate. I'm proud of you, pal.

That's so cool.

It does work to some extent.

It's probably not buoyant enough for two people.

Right now, I am making a paddle for Nate's raft,

and I'm gonna use this palm husk and a long stick.

And tie the stick, hopefully, in the center of this

and just make a long paddle.

How's it coming, Kaiela?

-Good. I just finished. -Awesome.

The raft sits much higher in the water without me on it.

And Kaiela weighs significantly less than I do.

So, she's able to use it to go further.

You wanna get up front?

-I'll go and push it out deeper. -Okay.

I guess we just wanna try to avoid weeds as much as possible.

I might try and walk it most of the way.

Thank you.

I am gonna go do a recon mission.

Instead of paddle all the way, push the raft

to a point where it gets too deep.

Wasn't quite as successful as I hoped,

-but... -You know what, though? It floats.

-It did. It floated. -It does.

Yeah, if I'm able to get this raft over there,

this is gonna help me be able to fish in a deeper spot

and hopefully be able to catch bigger fish.

Sharing one caiman amongst eight people is just not enough.

Our bodies need more,

especially for the amount of work that we're putting in every day.

I got some fishing to do.

These are the proving grounds, and we're still gonna have to work for it.

We don't wanna just wait till we're hungry.

Here, fishy, fishy, fishy.

I just wanna do my part.

And I just want to make sure that everybody eats,

and I know that I know how to fish.

And if fishing is my part, then I need to fish.

All day. Every day.

After my conversation with Lynsey,

I think it motivates me more.

And I'm trying to push past and become a better teammate.

I am embracing that.

Are you okay?

My shallow line didn't have anything,

so, they're hitting more out there, right now.

So, definitely want to set another line

and see if we can get some more fish.

You know, I see Malorie,

and she's busting ass, like she always does for the team.

I'm just gonna try to slog over to that island

and see what's over there.

And I'm starting to realize

what Malorie does is completely selfless.

She's getting deep.

The mud sucks.

I have absolutely no problem putting in time, work, and effort for her.

Let's try to kill some.

I think this will be a hell of a lot better spot to fish

than where we've been fishing.

I think I wanna get just a little bit more in the deep.

And then, I'm gonna throw a line out and see what happens.

Even when you win, you don't stop. So...

We wanna keep securing our next source of protein,

because you never know when your last meal is gonna be here.

Gonna give this a shot.

And to be honest,

catching one caiman that's not really gonna cut it.

Catching two might not even cut it.

And so, I think we're gonna have to really put in some work.

Um, especially if we're gonna make that last leg of the trek to extraction.

Nice. It doesn't feel like it's snagged on any leads or anything. Yeah.

Look at that. No leads.

That's, uh, never, ever happened before. This is so nice.

Yep, yep, yep. Here we go.

Take it. Take it. Take it, take it, take it. Swallow it.

I had it.

I don't know if this is the right time of day to be fishing

'cause I ain't having for luck right now.

Hello.

-What are you doing? -Trying to fish.

What are you doing? Scouting?

Yeah, I was.

Slogging through all this.

-Yeah, it's a lot. -Yeah.

Well, I'll probably go over here

collect some moriche and I might...

I might try and raft down that way,

'cause it gets deeper over there, too.

So, you don't think I could, uh, cross that on foot, without swimming?

No.

You wanna gonna go check it out? 'Cause I'm gonna go over there anyway

and look for moriche.

Yeah, let's go check it out.

Kaiela wants to get moriche fruit.

So, we decide to push the boat in the water, together,

trying to keep the bow out of water,

trying to keep the arrows and everything else out of the water.

Both of us pushing the raft across the water,

until we get to some area where I or she can stand up.

Everybody needs to eat.

It's a good thing to bring food back.

You know, have something come back with us.

So, I'm happy that she's getting these moriches.

Oh, there's some kind of poop.

-Where? -Don't know what kind of poop this is.

Let me see.

Well, that looks like deer poop.

-I know. -It's wet.

It's a... It's a herbivore.

Could also be capybara.

Yeah. I know capybaras swim.

Capybara are large, semi-aquatic rodents

that can grow to over 100 lbs.

But their excellent sense of smell

make them extremely elusive to spot and hunt.

-Yeah. -That is a big pile of.

So, whatever that is, is big.

I'm pretty sure it's an herbivore, so that does give me hope.

I know that there's something out here.

I don't know if it's worth it to bring the bow back out,

but maybe bring a snare with me

and try to snare something out here.

-You hear that thunder? -Yep.

Oh, yeah. It's coming.

Holy. Did you see that?

The clouds are getting thicker.

And I think we should probably head back.

The wind's picking up.

If you look at the sky, it's...

It looks like we don't have a lot of time.

Being on the water in a lightning storm

is the last place you wanna be.

It's coming in fast and it's coming in hard.

And I can tell it's gonna be a bad one.

We gotta go. We gotta beat feet.

Come on, we gotta go.

Let's go.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

This is gonna get bad.

Come on, kick a little bit harder.

Kick harder, kick harder.

Oh, my God.

I'm just making a very simple marimba,

which is, like, a wooden xylophone.

Nathan is incredibly impressive. Like what?

What, he just whip this up really quick?

Yeah, buddy.

Whoo-hoo!

It's important for survival.

Playing music. It helps a group to work in harmony.

Come on, get an instrument.

Come on. We have a band going on here.

Should have been a drummer. Sould've been a drummer.

You can find joy in this.

Like, out here, it means a lot.

-The Badlands Baddies. -The best...

Here we go!

Whoo-hoo!

Holy. Did you see that?

It's coming in fast, and it's coming in hard.

And I can tell it's gonna be a bad one.

Let's go. Come on. We gotta go.

Being on the water in a lightning storm

is the last place you wanna be.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Come on, kick a little harder. Kick harder, kick harder.

Oh, my God.

Okay, I am going to pull up some wood.

Yeah, I'm gonna grab a pot of water,

to get boiling, and then, just get wood, wood, wood.

Me too, I gotta get some...

Columbia is so freaking up in the air,

it changes weather... by the minute.

It sounds like we have a storm brewing for sure.

Just collecting some firewood.

This storm is the worst possible timing.

I feel like we're not ready.

We don't have all of our firewood in yet.

I feel like the firewood we do have in is going to get soaked.

And this is a very dangerous environment to be in right now.

The thunder keeps rolling and it's getting closer,

and the lightning is just flashing.

So, I'm super concerned.

I got these big pieces.

Okay, I'm just trying to get us some coals in here,

-and get us a little fire going. -That's smart. Here.

We made it to the shoreline.

We know the storm is coming.

I keep hearing thunder.

It looks like we're gonna get hit with a storm.

Yeah, it looks like quite the big storm coming our way.

-Be careful. -Don't worry.

The storm is definitely coming in,

but I'm not worried about it.

I'm determined to get another fish

because I need to set up a caiman line tonight,

or we get no caiman.

I know it's a storm, but right now,

I'm just gonna embrace this storm.

This one looks like it may be a heavy one.

At this point, we've gone through so much

that even a storm isn't going to faze us.

We all know how to suck it up.

I got these big pieces.

Okay, I'm just trying to get us some coals in here

-and get us a little fire going. -That's smart. Here.

I'm getting you a bunch of wood.

Without that fire, we are dead ducks in the water.

Time to duck in. It's gonna get wet.

Malorie's still down there?

-Yeah. -Of course.

When your body tells you you need protein,

or you need food, you get determined.

You go into survival mode and you do what you have to

to get that food or to get that protein.

I'm gonna go check on Mal.

I'm always worried about Malorie,

since we met up here in the jungle.

And I know that she likes to be out in the water,

and stay out in the water. But we have a major storm coming in.

I need her to come back, and get dry and be safe.

Please.

Malorie!

Malorie!

Get your ass up here!

Oh, my God.

Malorie!
