previously, four teams of survivalists

began their punishing 40-day challenge

in the drought-stricken killing fields of Africa's selati basin.

We got to finish. Yeah, I want my...

Yeah. ...Bloody 40.

Narrator: A team of "xl" veterans

made up of Lacey, Clarence, and Shane... All right.

...took their first step toward redemption

in the croc-filled waters of makubu gorge.

Did you see that? Lacey: Oh, a crocodile.

But Lacey's impulsiveness almost led to disaster.

[ Screams ]

I would like her to tone down just a little bit.

Death -- that's all it is out here.

Narrator: A mixed-gender team of Melanie, Sarah, and duck

set up camp in the sun-scorched desolation of pitsi flats...

My damn feet are smokin'.

...where the terrain took an immediate toll on Melanie.

I feel like [bleep] and it's all because of my sunburn.

Duck: Early in the stage,

losing a partner would not be good at all.

Look at all the fish jumping. You see them all?

The all-female team of Melissa, kaila, and Lindsey

have found a viable source of catfish at the noja cliffs...

[ Groans ]

Narrator: ...But not a means to secure it.

Lindsey: It's very frustrating.

Narrator: And at shosho ravine,

the discovery of a recent kill

provided the all-male team of Trent, Jeremy, and Gary

with their first meal.

Gary: We get lunch today.

in their shelter put Gary at odds with his teammates.

If we have that meat in here tonight, we're screwed.

My partners are more afraid of spoiled meat

So, yesterday, I stashed some raw meat in the ground up here

to demonstrate that it won't go bad overnight.

Also, to demonstrate that it would be okay

to do it if we get another kill again, in terms of safety.

He ate something that he wasn't supposed to eat,

Lacey: Clarence, I ain't your mama.

I'm not gonna tell you what to do and what not to do.

You know your body,

but when the doctors tell you you can't do something,

don't take that as a challenge

to try to prove them wrong.

[ Chuckles ]

Just come and sit with us.

I think Clarence would be willing to push himself

to the point of death just to make it through.

We can't lose anybody.

We're like a teeter totter, and Clarence is

that little middle piece

that keeps us from just hitting the ground.

I can't stop counting my heartbeats.

Every heartbeat, I feel.

Should we call the medic?

Clarence, this is your life.

We need a medic.

My heart, it feels like it's gonna jump out of my chest.

The more I think about it, the worse it gets.

But it might be in my head.

Low numbers. Watch.

156/120.

I shouldn't have looked.

Really?

[ Sighs ]

Shane: Okay. I love you, brother.

Lacey: I'm so glad I met you.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Crying ] Oh, no.

Narrator: With his blood pressure continuing to climb

and the chance of a stroke increasing by the minute,

Clarence must be evacuated to a hospital

and forced to tap from the challenge.

One, two, three, up!

You guys are making that 40.

Lacey: Yes, sir!

We need to get to the hospital.

I love you, Clarence!

Ca-caw!

Ca-caw!

And then there were two.

I am shocked how quickly someone can fall out here.

Every time I come to Africa... I leave on a stretcher.

Lacey: This shouldn't be happening.

We're the professionals. This is our redemption.

This is our last chance

to prove that we are strong enough to make it.

Oh, my god, am I gonna make it 40?

I want to so bad.

Clarence.

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

Shane: A little Africa twister.

Holy cats!

Jeremy: A little rain wouldn't hurt... Whoa!

...but a lot of rain would maybe put us out of the game.

Sarah: Duck!

Duck is nowhere to be seen.

We have water flooding over the sides of our crevice.
