Original subtitles

[Jermaine] It's raining steady, isn't it?

[Wes] Yeah. Oh, it's freezing rain.

And our shelter's not exactly watertight.

[Sarah] It's just a constant struggle.

- [Wes] Hey, Jermaine. - Mmm?

Let's get one of them long logs and shove it in here and start getting it burned.

- [Jermaine] The one's from outside? - Yeah.

[Jermaine] I mean, listen, I'm soaking wet anyway so it doesn't matter.

- Oh, my god! Holy [bleep]. - [Wes] yeah.

It's impossible to have watertight with spruces.

So, what we're doing is, we're feeding a couple logs in from outside,

so we can use those to make our piles real small.

Putting all our stuff under us to keep it dry.

- [Jermaine] There ya go, buddy. - There ya go.

Nice, Jermaine.

This is unpleasant weather at best.

Actually, it's a little scary.

[Jermaine]

And then, I guess we're gonna be hunkering down and just trying to stay alive.

[Sarah] That's kinda where we're at, we're embracing the suck.

[Wes] Come on fire.

I did not get a lot of sleep that was freezing.

That was torturous last night.

Just absolutely torturous.

[Jake] Under the covers you just shiver.

Kind of out of control for actually several hours.

Until your core temperature comes up a little bit.

But, kinda getting used to that as being the new norm.

I've always said, when life gives you shivers.

You make shiverade.

[Joe] I'm going to guess it's in the low 20s out right now.

I'm even under the pelts and it is really, really cold.

I really thought I knew what cold was.

I was very wrong. [Chuckles softly]

[Gabby]

We're literally frozen.

Every part of us is frozen, our hands, our extremities.

Our skin to the touch, you know, when you feel that.

Wind whip on you.

It's insane.

- [Trish] Mmm. - It's still snowing.

Oh, my god! It is ice.

Our drinking straw is just covered.

[Narrator] As the only team of two,

Trish and Jeremy's unfinished shelter.

Has exposed them to Montana' frigid weather.

[Jeremy] I'd rather deal with insects than freezing cold temperatures.

[Trish] You and me both.

It is freezing outside and there's snow everywhere.

And our shelter doesn't have a door.

So, the angle of the snow is coming right in.

Oh, you see that snow coming in? See the snow hitting my face?

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

We're just fighting getting out 'cause it's so fricking cold.

It's gonna be miserable.

I'll be like Jack Nicholson in the shining,

I'll just be sitting in the snow with that weird, creepy, killer grin.

Yeah,

freezing Montana.

I mean, honestly, Trish I don't see it getting any warmer.

[Trish] No, it's not.

- [Jeremy] And that fire wood is dwindling. - Yeah, I know it.

If we're gonna improve our situation.

We're gonna start with cutting some trees down and closing up this opening.

Give ourselves a little bit of a snow block, wind block

[Jeremy] Oh, it's gonna be freezing cold.

[Trish] I didn't come out he to lay here for the week.

So, I'mma do it.

[Jeremy] I mean, I failed in some of my previous challenges.

And I don't wanna fail again.

We ain't got no choice but to get this better.

I'm contemplating what we got to get done today

I'm just seeing snow just coming everywhere.

It's not gonna be fun, it's gonna be miserable.

And, you gotta make up your mind to do it.

That's the only way I think you can make it out here.

[Trish] It's cold, it's painful.

[Jeremy] My damn hands are going numb.

- That wind is coming out too. - [Trish] Sure is.

- [Jeremy] Are you okay? - My fingers are frozen.

[Jeremy] Get what you can, just head on back.

- [Trish] All right. - Get that fire going.

It's so cold today that it hurts.

I mean, it's like in about 15 minutes fingers numb,

toes, everything hurting, hurting.

- I can't feel my feet. - [Trish] I can't feel anything.

Take it in.

Jesus Christ!

My penis is shriveled, wrinkled, like a short stack of quarters.

Not even, like, a dollar's worth.

- Just like a $0.50 worth. - [Trish] It's [bleep] Cold.

[Jeremy] Oh, [bleep].

We decided to make our door on this side

'cause the wind has done shifted.

Now the wind's changed, so the shelter's gotta change.

- Think about that size, Trish? - That's more than enough.

- Does it seem like the wind stopping some in there, Trish? - Yeah, it sure does.

[Jeremy] Oh, that's what we want.

- Can't feel my damn fingers. - [Trish] You're doing amazing.

- Please, keep that fire going. - [Trish] Oh, it's going.

Don't worry, it'll be here for ya.

As a team of two somebody has to do the fire.

And somebody has to do the outside work.

It's, like, it feels like such a, like, useless job.

- [Jeremy] It's not in these temps. - Oh, I know it.

- [Jeremy] I feel so much better about this now. - You did a good job.

- A lot of that wind is gone. - [Trish] Yeah.

[Jeremy] We did a good job.

- But, I can't feel nothing. - No.

But, you know what?

- What? - I forgot about being hungry.

- [Waz] It's blowing my mind how cold it is in here. - [Jake] Yeah.

- [Waz] It shouldn't be like this. - [Jake] No, I don't know.

[Sara] How are your feet feeling?

[Jake] Don't see any of the puss coming out anymore.

My feet are holding up like a bag of garbage.

They are in constant pain.

But, I'm gonna power through I just need to get food.

[Narrator] Jake, Sara, and Waz have struggled to find any kind of protein,

despite damming their creek in a strategy to catch fish

I feel, like, justified in just how miserable I was last night.

Because I'm seeing some new ice has formed.

On the little dam that we built.

That's basically, like, our thermometer 'cause we don't have one out here.

That and my nipples.

Guys, it's definitely a much colder start.

- So, might wanna put on any extra furs. - Okay, buddy.

I'm gonna head over across the creek,

- this morning I heard a few squirrels over that way. - [Waz] Oh, yeah.

My plan is, to get some squirrel.

Ready to seize the day.

It's one of the few things that we know are right here by our shelter.

So, my goal is, just to kind of follow them.

Hopefully see one and take one out.

[Waz] Even though it's cold and it's winter,

and there's not a lot of animals around, like,

I really haven't seen that much since I've been here.

There's still stuff moving around in the water.

And, one of the things they have a lot of up here,

what you guys call crawdads or crawfish.

Back in Australia we call them yabbies.

I'm just gonna make a little trap, it's exactly the same as a fish trap.

But, at the entry you build a little staircase.

So, you just put sticks across.

Getting higher and higher as it gets closer and closer to the mouth.

So they can crawl up this little staircase.

And then, into the trap, try to chase that bait.

[Sara] Ooh, that wind sucks.

Last night, was the most miserable nigh here so far.

We were just absolutely freezing to death.

So, I saw bunny poop around here yesterday.

We have not eaten since...

Before insertion.

And, we're losing calories nightly just by shivering.

See right here? This is bunny poop.

So, I am in the right place.

So, the rest of the day I plan to go.

And set some traps to snare some rabbits.

Try not to freeze to death at the same time.

Hopefully, I have one in the morning.

So, my grandfather used to use this trap all the time.

He was very successful.

Block this off right here.

I'm gonna make four walls of brush,

and there'll be an opening in two or three of them.

So, if they want inside this area.

They'll have to go through one of the snares.

Tied a slipknot.

I'm gonna have some sticks underneath here to hold it open.

In like an oval pattern.

I have gotta make it oval because.

If it touches their whiskers they'll back off.

Kinda like a cat.

All right, that's good enough.

Got one over there,

one right there,

and one over here.

Each have a snare line in them.

Hopefully, I'll catch some damn rabbits.

My feet are so cold I wanna cry.

[Wes]

[Sarah] Deceptively cold.

[Wes]

At no surprise to anybody, it's fricking cold.

- [Wes] The breeze is ridic. - [Sarah] Yep.

- [Jason] How are you feeling? - [Sarah] Ahh, sorry, I'm not feeling too great right now.

- [Jason] I'm gonna check your blood pressure. - All right.

This morning we had pretty significant temperature changes.

It was very cold,

so we're checking on the well-being of the participants.

Knock-knock, medic's here.

- [Ky] Hello. - [Jason] How's it going?

[Ky] Good, how are you?

Gonna do, uh, just a little baseline vital check, okay.

We are concerned with heart rates.

[Narrator] In extreme cold, hypothermia is a constant danger.

As the body fights to create heat in the core, blood vessel constrict,

and the heart rate increase.

A sustained resting heart Ra over 100.

Is considered potentially dangerous.

[Jason] Heart rate, 71. O2 saturation is, 97.

- Is that good? - It's good.

- Okay. - Very healthy.

- Ooh. - I know, it's cold. Sorry, buddy.

The first three days were really rough for me.

I won't lie.

[Narrator] Joe struggled with dehydration earlier in the challenge.

[Ky] Joe!

- [Gabby] Whoa, can yo hear me? - Mmm-hmm.

[Jason] So, you're blood pressure is slightly elevated.

And you're heart rate is fluctuating.

And, I seen it go all the way up to as high as 130.

[Narrator] When the pulse remains elevated overtime.

It puts the heart at risk for tissue damage.

And, even a heart attack.

Um, looking at your blood pressure, and you're pulse inside.

- You're blood pressure is high. - Mmm-hmm.

And you're pulse is...

- About double what is should be. - Oh.

So, the numbers are concerning.

I'm concerned about Sarah's vital signs.

Essentially her heart is beating too fast.

And, if that continues, I have very high concerns.

That she may need to be medically tapped.

All right, so, we're gonna continue to monitor the situation.

And, if the situation doesn't improve, we would have to pull you. Okay?

- You've got to stay hydrated today. - [Sarah] Yep.

It's your safety on the line.

So, it is a serious situation.

[Jason] This could be from dehydration.

We have plenty of ice, we've got snow around here.

So, I'll be back to check on ya.

Hydration, hydration, hydration is key.

[Joe] Can't seem to keep up with hydration.

Got a little careless.

And, now I'm paying for it.

[Wes] Hey, buddy. It's gonna be all right, okay?

[Jason] At the end of the day when it comes to your heart it ain't no game.

Uh, it sucks.

Ugh!

- I finally just got some sleep. - [Trish] Yeah, me too.

We did a good job.

I'm gonna go out and try to get something to eat.

[Trish] I'm gonna get the fire started and get some wood.

It's been nine days since I've had any food in my belly.

[Ducks quacking]

I've never went this long without eating something.

Through every challenge, I've eaten by day two.

I've got some fishing lines out,

hoping I catch a trout or something.

Oh! I ain't got nothing.

The wind gust and blew it up outta the water.

Every time you come out and you don't catch nothing,

or kill anything, it's just another disappointment.

[Grunting]

[Bleep] Going.

Pee again and it's just sharp pains.

Just something else to deal with out here.

- [Trish] Hey. - Hey.

[Trish] See anything?

[Jeremy] I ain't had nothing on the fishing line.

[Trish] I thank you for trying.

[Jeremy] I had to stop and pee and it was just...

And it was burning some and.

It does kind of get a little bit harder to urinate.

There at my bladder, you can't hardly touch it.

[Bleep]

It's just a sharp, sharp pain whenever you,

just the slightest little push on it.

I wonder if it's from, like, being so tense and cold.

Maybe you're keeping it,

holding it in so long at night.

- Maybe it's like... - [Jeremy] I don't know.

...giving you a bladder infection.

Jeremy, he is an amazing partner.

Definitely being sick in this environment.

Is not where you want to be.

[Groans] I don't feel good.

My bladder. Whatever it is.

[Trish] Let's try to get your bladder flushed out.

It is extremely important that Jeremy stays very hydrated.

Because I don't think this challenge would be possible single-handedly.

If you were alone, with no partners.

It'd suck to go home for a bladder infection.

[Trish] Yeah, it would.

[Ky] You doing okay, Joseph?

You seem low.

Yeah, overall I feel okay. Uh...

[Gabby] What's going on?

- Hunger pains are really just kind of what I'm dealing with. - [Gabby] Okay.

That's, it's just weird, I mean, like,

I, physically I can feel my blood sugar.

- Like slowly going each day. - [Gabby] Of course.

Joe's had this elevated heart rate.

The medics have been concerned.

It's definitely worrisome.

You know, I have been dreading this,

but I do know I need to go out.

I mean, I don't mind taking a little exploration.

- [Ky] Don't be too risky. - [Gabby] Yeah.

[Joe] After seeing the medic.

That was a bit of an eye opener.

But, I'm not going to get careless.

To the point where it's like, you know,

something like that's going to take me out.

I'm doing this for a chance to eat.

- [Ky] You're almost out there, Joe. - [Joe sighs] Thank you.

Bottom line, I need to be ab to contribute out here.

Now I can feel like I at least did my part.

Just help out, look around.

[Exhales forcefully]

Oh. [Breathing shakily]

Oh, my god. I wish I had a pair of pants.

Freaking cold.

I don't know if rabbits are going to be moving.

In this kind of weather, but won't know unless I try.

So what I'm going to do now,

I'm going to slowly walk across this blind of bushes.

To see if I can't find any rabbits.

No fresh tracks.

[Bleep]

[Blows air]

A little weak.

I'm really feeling it.

I want to contribute so much.

But, I think I might be burning myself out a little bit.

- Hey, Ky? - Yeah?

[Joe] Looks like we got some weather coming in from our southeast.

I've been shoring up the shelter.

And chopping up firewood so I'm feeling confident.

[Joe] Excellent.

[Sarah speaking]

[Wes speaking]

- [Sarah] Yeah. - [Wes] Okay? If you can sit here.

And drink a bunch of water, relax,

and get yourself back to right, then everything's fine.

Yeah.

[Wes] Sarah and I did XL in Africa together.

She's tough but her pulse is way out of whack.

The plan today to keep Sarah with us.

Is that she can't leave the shelter.

- I'll just work on that fish basket today. - [Wes] Yeah.

Um, get that cranked out.

[Wes] Yeah, get that thing done tight.

That'd be great.

- You ready? - [Jermaine] Let's go for a walk.

We really need to bring back something for Sarah.

Just to give her a little boost.

Something that might help make her healthy again.

[Jermaine] Yesh. Definitely colder on this side.

[Wes] Yeah, it is colder.

Wow, nice bones.

[Jermaine] Look at that.

[Wes] Kill site for sure.

[Jermaine] Yeah, well it could be a bison.

[Wes] A mountain lion could have taken just about anything, right?

[Jermaine] Yeah.

[Wes] Something ate very well. I'm jealous.

[Jermaine] Oh, dude, oh my god, mullein.

[Wes] I don't know what that is.

Primarily, if you smoke it, it's a vasodilator.

Oh, cool. Put it in the bag, yeah.

[Jermaine] When your blood pressure's up when you're cold,

your veins, they all constrict to try to put all of your.

Resource of heat and blood to your core.

If you smoke this, as a vasodilator,

it would reduce her blood pressure.

And reduce her pulse,

and, uh, this might be like a little magic trick.

Home sweet home. Yeah.

[Sarah] What's up?

[Jermaine] We didn't find any meat, but I got something for you.

[Sarah] Oh, mullein.

- That's freaking perfect. - [Jermaine] Yeah.

[Sarah] I got to make a pipe.

I'm taking this reed, I'm going to try this out.

It's got a little carb on the back here.

A little bowl for me to smoke from.

Go from there.

It's been utilized traditionally.

In a lot of different municipal uses.

Indigenous people have utilized it for literal thousands of years.

What I'm hoping that if I smoke some of this,

it might bring my blood pressure to a more normal level.

That works. [Laughs]

I have made a functional bushcraft pipe.

For smoking mullein.

- [Jermaine] How we doing? - [Sarah] Good.

The effects of the mullein are pretty immediate.

Which is honestly, quite awesome.

I feel like when I inhale right now,

that I'm getting a deeper, fuller breath.

That's pretty wild.

Really cool to utilize plant medicine.

In a real life survival situation in this manner.

And, uh, I'm hoping that changes up my results.

When the medic comes back to do the old checkup.

[Jake] Hopefully if I can get over to that other side of the creek.

And do a little exploring it kind of uncharted territory.

Just see if there's any resources over there that we can benefit from.

Everybody's hungry and everybody wants.

Whatever food they can find.

Huh.

We got some fresh tracks.

Looks like quite a few running up and down this creek.

So I'm gonna just try to follow that same line.

Do a little hunting with the slingshot.

And just see what we can't get.

I gotta eat. I get really bitchy when I'm hungry.

Right through this area, it looks like it's a little.

Highway of squirrel tracks.

It looks like there might be some that are a little larger.

So I'm gonna scout up the hillside.

Then I'll also have a little better vantage point.

Of, uh, what's going on around me.

Oh, [bleep]. That's something much larger than a squirrel.

Oh, [bleep].

[Laughs incredulously] I just came across something much larger than a squirrel.

A coyote.

It doesn't seem like it's been dead that long.

Oh, [bleep] It broke its leg.

You know, he's not marked up like he was fighting with another coyote.

God, I don't know. I don't know.

It looks like there's prints coming down this steep hill.

And for each pace, there are three steps.

And then one really big drag.

I'm guessing the thing was up top and got into with a moose.

Or something that gave him a really swift kick

'cause the bone is just snapped in two.

I mean, it's bittersweet 'cause it's such.

A beautiful animal to see it laying here lifeless,

but for me, you know, it's, uh, it's kind of a game changer.

[Groans]

I have never had coyote before.

It's not on my bucket list.

But, [laughs] In this situation, beggars can't be choosers.

Yeah, we'll make sure none of this beautiful animal goes to waste.

And that will really turn around things for our clan.

- [Waz] What? - Got dinner.

- [Waz laughing] What? - A little better than a squirrel.

Shut up.

It's definitely a great site seeing so much food.

I mean, a normal coyote, you're looking at 30, 40, 50 pounds.

- Yes. - Looks pretty fresh, huh?

[Waz] I'm pretty sure this meat's going to be good.

I mean, we had cold temperatures overnight.

Yeah. Yep.

[Waz] I mean, this animal's lost its life.

And we don't want to waste that, you know?

I'm super pumped. Get some food in our bellies.

Get some energy in us.

It's sad that this poor thing has lost its life somehow,

but, very happy for the three of us.

[Jake] Huge, huge gift from mother nature.

- [Sara] Jake, great find. - [Jake] Thank you.

[Waz] When the wind dies down, the sun's on us.

[Jake] Feels great, yeah.

We're going to get a fire going out here,

make the most of this beautiful day.

It's something that we also have to take serous precaution with.

Because there's a lot of really hungry animals out here.

That would kill for what we just found.

In my community, I'm also a bear. Back off.

[Waz] When you're in a place like this,

you have so many carnivores running around looking for meals,

as for addressing that, the stuff we're not using,

we're going to throw it in the creek and let it go downstream.

The stuff we are going to use, we're going to bury.

And try and keep it safe under some rocks.

The thing about this meat is it all smells good.

Jake's doing a bit of barbequing down here.

Lunch and dinner right there.

Backstrap for lunch, stew for dinner.

[Jake] It's pretty exciting. It's the first food.

- That I've smelled in-- - [Waz] Oh, look at that.

[Jake] ...Quite a while.

[Sara] That actually makes me super excited.

[Waz] I mean, it's definitely going to be chewy, you know that.

- [Jake] Yep. - [Waz] I probably had it in a stew.

This to try.

Mmm-hmm.

It's kind of exactly what I thought it was going to taste like.

Me too, yeah.

It's okay.

[Jake] It's kind of like when you get one of those $1.99 steaks.

And you leave it on the grill for 14 hours.

I mean, it's not, like, a ribeye,

but I'm happy about it.

It's calories in the body. That's all I want, you know?

I can't even chew that.

Now, I'm not going to run home.

And go out and shoot me one and cook it up.

But, right now it's much needed.

Oh, that thing tastes wretched.

But good.

Bon appetit.

[Trish] You doing all right, buddy?

[Jeremy] No.

- Your bladder? - Yep.

[Trish] Jeremy's been dealing with a little pain in his bladder.

We're so close to like, getting to 14.

That it's terrifying to think that if it gets worse he could leave.

I'll probably go take a walk down the riverside again.

I'm ready to do whatever it takes.

I want you to get better.

- Well, thank you. - That way we'll.

Be able to finish this as a team.

It is absolutely horrific being out in this temperature.

But, uh, I know there's some things that we need to do.

The beaver trap fell down.

[Bleep] Got to set it again.

Part of my job as being on the team.

Is to pick up the slack.

I know we need food.

I know there's a lot of things we need.

And, uh, that's what's keeping me going.

Just pure drive and willpower.

I feel like I'm kind of quarantined to this room right here.

It feels amazing knowing Trish is out there.

And I know she hates that cold just as much as me,

but, for her doing that, it's, to me, it means a lot.

It really does.

Well, I want to keep going and go on further.

Just trying to see what I can find.

I see a little bit of cattail over here.

The native Americans used to eat them.

So I'm going to see if I can find anything.

And dig it up.

So that we can roast it and eat it and get some kind of starch.

[Narrator] Cattails have a fibrous root.

Which is rich in energy-producing starches.

When the root is cooked, it tastes similar to a potato.

And contains up to 80 calories.

[Trish] The ground is frozen.

I don't see how I'm going to be able to get down to the root.

Even with the shovel, it's like, impenetrable.

Everything's frozen solid under the permafrost.

So it's a pretty big disappointment.

We need to figure out how to get to them.

I'm not giving up.

[Jeremy] I have dreamed about food.

And every time I dream about food, I get pretty hungry.

I have cramps on top of cramps.

[Trish] Yeah, me too.

[Jake] We have stew.

[Sara] I've never had coyote stew.

This smells and looks delicious.

- [Waz] So I'm going to go in for a big chunk here. - [Jake] Whoa.

It's not chewy. At least that piece was pretty tender.

[Waz] It's way better than I think what we had this afternoon.

Well, I like it more anyway.

[Wes] Ugh. I haven't eaten Jack.

And my brain's not working real well anymore.

[Waz] I can feel it's got some fat on it.

I feel that it's still moist

[Gabby speaking]

We need food.

[Sara] Mmm.

- [Waz farts] - [Jake] Whoa. Fuel the flame.

[Waz coughs]

[Gabby] Nice brisk morning.

Maybe this cloud cover will burn off.

And we'll get a little sunshine.

[Grace] Yeah?

[Gabby] How are you guys doing today?

- Good, how are you? - I'm a little chilly.

- A little chilly? - Ready to get moving.

- Ready to get moving. We're just gonna, um... - [Joe breathing heavily]

- [Grace] ...Take a quick set of vitals again, Joe. - [Joe] Oh, boy. All right.

Still drinking plenty of fluids.

Lots and lots of warm stuff.

[Grace] Your heart rate's still pretty elevated.

Have you had any chest pain, shortness of breath, anything?

Not unless I just, like, get that cold air hit me.

- And then just... - That cold air hits you and then, all right.

Everything almost seizes up.

- [Grace] Make sure you drink a lot of water. - I know.

[Grace] If Joe's heartrate stays this elevated,

that would be a potential for a tap out.

We can't leave somebody out here with a high heartrate.

- So, we're gonna keep an eye on it, okay? - Yeah.

[Ky] I'm super worried about Joe.

Joe's heartrate has been getting more and more elevated over the last few days.

So, hopefully today he can get some rest and plenty of water.

[Joe] I've just got to constantly remind myself to hydrate.

[Ky] That's a good idea.

[Wes] Just look for compression tracks and also movement.

We're really trying to get a kind of calories we can today

Sarah is down. She, uh, had a bad med check.

She can't move around a whole lot.

She's got to drink nothing but water all day.

Just watch where you step around there.

Lots of prickly pear.

[Wes] I know there's a lot of work involved with it, Jermaine, but.

Some of these prickly pear cactus appear pretty sizable.

That might be worth our time.

- [Jermaine] Yeah. - Let's collect, you know,

a half-dozen, a dozen of the biggest ones of those.

- They're not eaten, right? - [Jermaine] Yeah.

[Wes] You know, a few days ago, uh,

I had no interest in eating prickly pear. Zero.

I wanted meat. I wanted a rabbit. I wanted trout.

Fast forward about four days

I'll take whatever comes along.

- [Jermaine] Should we, uh, go and check on Sarah? - [Wes] Absolutely.

[Trish] How's your bladder doing?

- [Jeremy] I'm feeling a little better. - [Trish] Yeah?

[Jeremy] I got a good bit of rest yesterday. I'm feeling a little better today.

But I ain't been getting foo I been getting lightheaded and dizzy.

Yeah.

[Jeremy] 14 days is approaching, and I haven't ate.

I've never been this hungry before in my life.

If we're able to get some of the cattails [Slapping bug] there'll be a lotta starch.

[Jeremy] Why don't we just build a fire over it?

They're all on the ground, build a bonfire right there on 'em.

You wanna try it?

Yeah.

Anything is on the menu here. We have not eaten in ten days.

[Jeremy] Let's burn this bitch down.

Defrost the ground.

- [Trish] Let's bring it. - [Jeremy] And get our cattail.

[Trish] It won't be hard to light that up.

[Jeremy]

[Trish] How are ya gonna put that out?

[Jeremy] All right. I wanna try and keep it controlled.

- [Jeremy] That one's gonna stop at the snow. - [Trish] Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

[Trish] We got a natural firebreak with the snow.

[Jeremy] Trish was talking about the roots of the cattail we can get them and eat 'em.

But we can't get to 'em, because of all the ice.

And I, I thought about let's just try to burn the field right through there.

Something to start trying to melt the ice and get down into it.

- [Jeremy exclaiming] It's still solid. Look at that. - [Trish] No.

[Jeremy] Yeah. It's about four inches deep. Nothing but ice.

[Trish] Such a disappointment.

[Jeremy grunting] It's just not meant for you and I to eat.

[Trish] Not cool, Montana.

[Jeremy] There's food right there. Unbelievable. God.

[Trish] It's a disappointment.

- [Jeremy] I don't know what to do. - [Trish] I don't know, either.

[Trish] It's gonna get cold again tonight, so it'll be right back where we were.

[Jeremy] The only thing I'm gonna eat out here is gonna be ice chips.

[Jeremy] I think her and I have both come to conclusion.

We're literally gonna be the first Naked and Afraid contestants.

To complete a challenge and not have anything to eat.

[Sarah] Is that the guys?

- [Jermaine] Yeah. - [Sarah] What's up?

- [Jermaine] We found some prickly pear. - [Sarah] Ohh.

- [Jermaine] I'm gonna start cooking it. - [Wes] That sounds great.

[Sarah] You guys are fantastic.

When Jermaine said that they had prickly pear,

I just felt relief wash over me, because I knew I was gonna eat.

Trying to give it a little sear, just to get it kinda caramelized,

- [Jermaine] And then we'll add water. - [Sarah] Sweet.

[Jermaine] Me and Sarah, we've had some issues with each other.

But we are a tight team. So we're all coming together.

That way, we're prepared for this med check, and we can go ahead and push through.

- [Sarah] Oh, I smell it. - [Jermaine] Yeah.

[Sarah] Smells kinda like, uh, cucumbers.

Prickly pear itself has bee utilized in foreign cuisine.

All over the world for a very long time, so I appreciate them so much.

They're exactly what I want in a partner out there.

[Jermaine] Look at that.

[Sarah] Gonna season it with some ants?

[Jermaine] Could do that. Grab some. Locally harvested.

- [Sarah] Free range organic? - [Jermaine] Yes.

[Sarah] I'll just squish 'em in as I go.

[Jermaine] Oh, piece de resistance. [Guffaws in French accent]

The anticipation of flavor outweighs the hunger right now, which is weird.

- [Sarah] That's good. - [Wes] Tastes delightful.

- [Jermaine] It's crazy, isn't it? - [Wes] I love it.

[Jermaine] Squash, no salt.

It does. It tastes just like squash.

- [Sarah] Yeah, it does. - [Jermaine] It's the most substantial thing we've eaten.

I'm so glad to be chewing. The prickly pear, you know, you pop it in your mouth.

And you have to actually chew two or three times.

You actually feel human again.

- [Jermaine] Hey, Sarah. - [Sarah] 'Sup?

- [Jermaine] How are you feeling? - [Sarah] Feeling fantastic.

- Especially after this. - That's good news.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking it's good news.

[Sarah] Thanks for taking care of me today, guys.

[Wes] Sarah's looking better this afternoon,

but the next med check will tell the tale.

Knock, knock. How you guys doing?

Uh, good.

You guys get some hydration?

- Mmm-hmm. - Okay.

[Wes] If she's better, she gets to stay.

If she's not, I'm afraid that she's gonna go, uh, home,

but probably by way of the hospital.

Okay. Well, let's go ahead and have you stand up.

[Sarah] I feel like it's very important for me to stay in this challenge.

I came out here because I wanted the most extreme.

I want to be here through to the end, just to say that I've done it.

[Medic] How do you feel standing up?

[Sarah] I feel fine.

[Medic] You feel fine? Cool.

Gonna run one more time.

Okay. So... [clears throat]

[Jeremy] Let's burn this bitch down.

[Trish] How are we gonna put that out?

- Got dinner. - What?

[Medic] Your pulse is double what it should be.

[Joe sighs] I'm really feeling it.

[Narrator] The FSR, or frozen survival rating,

weighs each group's ability to complete the challenge as a team.

[Jeremy] I don't feel good.

[Narrator] Jeremy was sidelined by bladder pain.

[Trish] Can't do it without you, man.

[Narrator] So Trish stepped up.

[Trish] I'm ready to do whatever it takes.

[Narrator] But an inability to procure food...

- [Jeremy] Nothing but ice. - [Trish] Not cool, Montana.

[Narrator] ...Decreases their chances of completing the challenge.

And drops their FSR from 23% to 19%.

[Jake] My feet are holding up like a bag of garbage.

[Narrator] Despite being hampered with injured feet..

[Jake] At this point, I just need to get food.

[Narrator] ...Jake intensified his efforts to score a meal.

Oh, [bleep].

[Narrator] ...Which finally paid off...

- What? - Got dinner.

What? [Laughing]

[Narrator] ...Providing his team with a bounty of protein.

The trio's FSR climbs from 69% to 78%.

[Medic] Uh, we are concerned with heart rate.

[Narrator] Joe fell prey to Montana's frigid conditions...

[Medic] I've seen it go all the way up as high as 130.

[Narrator] ...With an elevated resting heart rate.

[Gabby] Good luck out there, Joe.

[Joe] Thank you.

- [Ky] Don't be too risky. - [Gabby] Yeah.

[Narrator] But, wanting to contribute to his team, he continued to push himself..

[Joe] I'm really feeling it I think I might be burning myself out a little bit.

[Narrator] ...Risking his health, and reducing the team's chances of finishing.

From 76% to 59%.

Your pulse is about double what it should be.

[Narrator] Like Joe, Sarah also struggles.

With an elevated heart rate due to dehydration.

Oh, my god. Mullen!

[Narrator] But Jermaine and Wes discovered critical bush medicine.

And much-needed food.

[Wes] Some of these prickly pear cactus up here are pretty, pretty sizable.

[Narrator] With Sarah's challenge hanging on her next medical check,

the team's FSR remains static at 55%.

[Medic] How do you feel standing up?

[Sarah] I feel just fine.

[Medic] You feel fine? Cool.

Okay.

So your vitals look awesome today.

Blood pressure's looking good,

and your hydration's looking a lot better than it has been.

- So keep that up, okay? - Good. Thank you.

All right. Definitely gotten some calories and some hydration into you.

- And it's showing, so... - Good. That's what I like to hear.

[Sarah] Oh, my gosh.

Knowing that it's a good situation is a complete relief to me.

I am free to continue the challenge, so I am stoked right now.

[Sighs in relief]

Today was a really good team effort.

- Yeah. - There you go, now.

I'm so happy Sarah's in a better situation.

And we're on to better days

- [Jermaine] A lesson for all three of us, right? - [Sarah] Yeah.

- [Wes] Drink more damn water. - [Sarah] Yeah.

- [Ky] Ah, sunshine. - [Gabby] I know.

[Joe] It's quite nice.

[Gabby] Joe, how you feeling? How you doing?

[Joe] My lips are really, really cracked, which is uncomfortable.

But that's about it.

[Ky] Well, I'm gonna pull mine in, extend my line.

Good afternoon.

- [Ky] Oh, hey! - [David] Hey.

We're gonna take your, uh, heart rate again, okay?

[Joe] Okay.

I'll come around to you.

This stresses me out so much when you come around.

[Laughing] I'm sorry.

Joe's had an elevated heart rate, uh,

that's been sustained over several days, even when he's resting.

And that's concerning, because at resting,

heart rate should be between 70 and 80,

and Joe's been well above that.

148.

Unfortunately, it's been getting worse.

When we've been checking it, it's been getting worse.

And unfortunately, we just don't have the capability.

To make sure that you're safe and you're healthy out here.

[David] With a resting heart rate that high,

your heart is not doing what it's supposed to do,

and you are at risk of tissue death, tissue damage, and even heart attack.

And so for that reason, I have to medically tap you right now.

[Sighs]

[David] And I'm sorry to do this.

[Sighing]

I'm sorry, Joe.

We've let you have the time that we can give you.

But we can't leave somebody out here with a high heart rate.

It's just not a risk we wanna take in this environment.

There's nothing I can do at this point? Like, 24 hours, hydrate, anything?

[David] Your heart rate is so high over, it's not even close.

If it were close or borderline, maybe we could do something.

It's not even borderline. It's, it's dangerous.

And we can't treat it out here in the field.

All right.

[Sighing] I'm sorry, guys.

- Don't apologize. - I'm sorry.

You've done so amazingly out here, and you found your confidence.

- [Gabby] I know how much this meant to you. - [Ky] Yeah.

[Joe] I just wanted to walk out with you guys.

[Gabby] You'll be there in spirit.

[Joe] Yeah.

I, I'm kind of at a loss right now.

I am being removed from the challenge, due to my heart.

I've always been told that was my greatest asset.

And, turns out it's one of my weakest right now.

[Joe] Just finish together.

- [Gabby] We can do that. - [Ky] We will.

[Joe] Just take care of each other, okay?

- [Gabby] I hope you get better. - [Joe] Okay.

I can't believe I got to spend the time with you guys.

[Ky] Yes, me too.

[Joe] Pretty heartbroken about it all. But...

...I'm at extreme risk for a heart attack.

And I've got a family I've gotta take care of.

I can't ignore that.

God, I just, I just wanted a few more days.

I left everything out here.

There's nothing more I can do.

Maybe I just pushed myself too much.

But I will be healthy in no time, and you will see me again.

This just wasn't my time.

[Gabby sighing] I did not expect that.

[Ky] Neither did I.

[Gabby] I'm absolutely shocked. I knew that Joe's heart rate was high,

but I didn't know that he was at risk of being tapped.

It just goes to show you, though, that, you know, we can tap at any time.

[Ky] Yeah, it just makes you feel like none of us are safe.

[Gabby] This challenge is no joke.

You just never know when it's gonna be your time to go, so...
