[ BLEEP ].

Shannon: I'M WORRIED ABOUT MATT.

HE'S PRETTY MISERABLE.

HOPEFULLY, HE DOESN'T TAKE OFF.

AFRICA HAS REALLY TAKEN A TOLL ON ME.

Dani: MAYBE I BIT OFF A LITTLE BIT MORE

THAN I CAN CHEW OUT HERE.

-WHAT? -I'M GONNA HAVE TO TAP OUT.

THIS IS IT. I'M TAPPING.

-I'M DONE. -I WANT TO TAP OUT.

I'M OUT OF HERE.

-MEDIC! -I'M NOT LEAVING.

Y'ALL ARE GONNA HAVE TO DRAG ME AWAY.

-AAH! -I AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE.

I WANT TO GO THAT WAY. OH, MY GOD!

I'LL GO FIGHTING, KICKING, AND SCREAMING.

MY HEAD, IT HURTS REALLY BAD.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT HIT IT.

[ RETCHING ]

YEAH.

PLEASE!

Narrator: IN SOME OF THE MOST GRUELING LOCATIONS

ON THE PLANET, DOZENS OF "NAKED AND AFRAID" VETERANS

HAVE PUSHED THEMSELVES TO THE LIMITS OF HUMAN ENDURANCE...

[ ROARING ] THERE'S LIONS. I CAN HEAR LIONS.

THIS IS NOT THE BEST TIME TO BE SICK.

Narrator: ...ATTEMPTING TO SURVIVE

THE SAVAGE ENVIRONMENTS...

THIS PLACE IS BRUTAL.

Narrator: ...AND EACH OTHER.

YOU'VE BEEN BITCHING FOR AN HOUR!

...FOR 40 DAYS.

YEAH!

Narrator: FOR EVERY STORY OF SUCCESS,

THERE ARE TRAGEDIES OF THOSE WHO FELL SHORT...

2, 3, UP!

...AS THE EXTREME PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STRESS

OF THE CHALLENGE...

-IT'S LIKE I CAN'T BREATHE! -...PUSHED EVEN THE MOST

EXPERIENCED SURVIVALISTS...

-HOLY [BLEEP] -...TO THEIR BREAKING POINT.

[ SCREAMS ]

NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME,

THE SURVIVALISTS LOOK BACK AT THEIR EXPERIENCES,

WITH NEW INTERVIEWS AND UNSEEN FOOTAGE...

AAH!

...TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG...

CAN'T ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BRAIN.

SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.

Narrator: ...AS WE COUNT DOWN

"NAKED AND AFRAID XL's" TOP 10 MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUTS.

-- Captions by VITAC -- www.vitac.com

IN THE VAST NO-MAN'S-LAND OF THE AMAZON,

JUST SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR,

"NAKED AND AFRAID" ALL-STARS RUSSELL, MATT,

AND CHARLIE TEAMED UP TO SURVIVE THE STEEP, SLIPPERY TERRAIN.

FEELS REALLY GOOD TO HAVE PARTNERS THAT ACTUALLY KNOW

HOW TO START FIRES.

Charlie: UH, THERE'S NO FIRE YET, RUSSELL.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO HOLD OFF TILL

WE GET ONE STARTED THERE, RUSS.

OH, NO, DUDE, WE'LL GET ONE.

THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNPREPARED

FOR WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ONE OF THEM

ON THE VERY FIRST DAY OF THE CHALLENGE.

THE 10th MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUT WAS THE FASTEST EVER.

TIMBER!

Matt: CHARLIE FEELS LIKE ONE OF MY MILITARY BUDDIES.

YOU KNOW, HE'S A GO-GETTER,

MARINE CORPS THROUGH AND THROUGH.

IT SOUNDS BAD, BUT I BUST CHARLIE'S HUMP

ALL THE TIME ABOUT HIM BEING TOO OLD TO BE OUT THERE.

Charlie: I'M-A TELL YOU, I TRIED TO TAKE MY WALKING CANE,

THEY SAID IT WAS ANOTHER ITEM.

[ LAUGHS ]

I'M THE OLDEST ONE TO DO "NAKED AND AFRAID XL."

THE AGE THING IS SOMETHING THAT I TOOK WITH ME,

AND I WORE IT WITH PRIDE.

[ LAUGHS ]

FIRST OF ALL, I LOOK, LIKE,

BETTER THAN A LOT OF THE YOUNGER GUYS, ESPECIALLY RUSSELL.

[ CHUCKLES ] YOU KIDDING ME?

WAY BETTER THAN RUSSELL.

-WHOA. -JUST LOOKING FOR DRY WOOD NOW.

Russell: BE CAREFUL ON THAT PATH, BROTHER.

IT'S ALL SLIPPERY.

A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN, THIS TERRAIN GETS MUDDY

AND MORE TREACHEROUS.

WHOA! AAH! AAH!

[ GROANS ]

I REMEMBER STEPPING WITH MY LEFT FOOT INTO AN ANTS' NEST.

THEY SWARMED ME.

I HAD HUNDREDS OF ANTS BITING MY LEFT LEG.

AND ALL I CAN REMEMBER WAS STEPPING ASIDE

TO GET AWAY FROM THOSE ANTS.

I FELL TO THE GROUND, I TWISTED MY KNEE.

-AAH! -WHAT'S UP, BUD?

-YOU ALL RIGHT? -AND, UNFORTUNATELY,

I FELL ON TOP OF THE ANTS' NEST.

THAT AIN'T GOOD.

NOW NOT ONLY IS MY LEG BEING SWARMED,

BUT SO IS THE REST OF MY BODY.

-AAH! -I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WORSE.

I'M BEING EATEN BY THE ANTS OR MY QUAD TENDON WAS BROKEN.

Matt: WHAT'S UP, BUD? YOU ALL RIGHT?

AAH! I'M IN AN ANT PILE!

[BLEEP] ME!

MEDIC!

AAH!

PICK UP MY FOOT FOR A SEC.

NICE AND EASY. AAH!

Matt: CHARLIE GETTING HURT ON THAT FIRST DAY...

-AAH! -...THAT'S LIKE GETTING

TO THE WORLD SERIES AND FINDING OUT YOU'RE NOT ON THE TEAM.

-AAH! -IT'S PRETTY DEPRESSING.

Charlie: HOLY [BLEEP]

CAN I STAY IN WITH A DISLOCATED KNEE?

ARE YOU GONNA PUT IT BACK INTO PLACE?

WELL, MR. CHARLIE, WHAT THE DOCTOR'S SAYING HERE,

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU MAY HAVE RUPTURED ONE OF YOUR TENDONS

IN YOUR KNEE.

WE DON'T THINK WE CAN, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE,

MEDICALLY LET YOU CONTINUE THE CHALLENGE,

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET YOU BACK TO THE UNITED STATES,

POSSIBLY SURGERY.

I CAN'T LEAVE THESE TWO GUYS.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO TAP OUT ON DAY 1?

I DIDN'T TAP OUT.

I WAS MEDICALLY TAPPED, UNFORTUNATELY.

I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE.

NO, I AIN'T GOING ON THAT.

TAKE THAT AND USE IT AS A RAFT OR A LIFEBOARD OR A SURFBOARD.

I AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE. I WANT TO GO THAT WAY.

BUT I WASN'T CARRIED OUT. MARINES DON'T GET CARRIED OUT.

-YOU NEED ANY HELP? -NO. NO, I'M GOOD.

I LIMPED OUT WITH PRIDE.

THAT'S A TOUGH SUMBITCH RIGHT THERE.

I HAD TWO MAJOR OPERATIONS ON MY KNEE.

THERE'S ALMOST 100 STITCHES IN MY LEG.

I LIVE WITH THIS PAIN EVERY DAY. IT'S NOT GONE.

BUT I REMEMBER THE AMAZON.

Narrator: CLARENCE, A "NAKED AND AFRAID"

AND "XL" VETERAN,

TOOK ON SOUTH AFRICA FOR A SECOND TIME.

HIS FIRST EFFORT, UNDER SWATI VALLEY'S BLISTERING,

UNFORGIVING SUN...

Clarence: THIS IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.

Narrator: ...LED TO EXTREME DEHYDRATION...

...AND A FORCED MEDICAL TAP-OUT.

GETTING READY FOR "NAKED AND AFRAID XL" SEASON 4.

THIS IS MY SECOND CHANCE, MY REDEMPTION.

Narrator: JOINING FELLOW ALL-STARS LACEY AND SHANE,

CLARENCE WAS CERTAIN HE COULD SUCCEED.

BUT THEN, AFRICA STRUCK AGAIN.

IT BECAME THE NINTH MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUT.

Clarence: WE'RE ABOUT TO EAT MEAT.

IT'S AN EXTREME SITUATION, EXTREME ENVIRONMENT,

AND WE'RE DOING EXTREME THINGS.

I WANTED TO SEE HOW WELL I COULD TEST MYSELF.

I WANTED TO PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT,

AND THAT'S WHAT I DID.

I GOT A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE FOR YOU GUYS.

I GOT A LOT OF LOVE AND A LOT OF RESPECT.

I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE MY PARTNER, CLARENCE.

CLARENCE WAS THE GLUE THAT HELD OUR GROUP TOGETHER,

BECAUSE SHANE AND I DIDN'T MESH WELL TOGETHER.

AND IT WAS LIKE CLARENCE WAS LIKE OUR PEANUT BUTTER,

KEEPING EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

OW! [BLEEP]

OH.

-YOU OKAY, CLARENCE? -[BLEEP] SCORPION JUST

BIT ME IN THE ASS. OH [BLEEP]

I CAN FEEL THAT TOXIN.

OH, THAT'S GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH ME.

[BLEEP]

Lacey: WE NEED A MEDIC.

A LITTLE TINGLING IN THE FINGERTIPS.

JUST A LITTLE BIT.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON.

I THINK CLARENCE MIGHT BE SICK.

I LOVE LACEY.

SHE WAS ABLE TO BE THE SISTER WHEN I NEEDED TO GIVE SUPPORT,

AND SHE WAS VERY MOTHERLY WHEN I NEEDED TO RECEIVE SUPPORT.

Man: IF YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE GETS TOO HIGH,

YOU COULD GET A STROKE.

156 OVER 120.

OH, NO!

I DON'T HAVE ANY BLAME FOR ANYONE FOR ME TAPPING.

MY BODY SAID STOP, SO I STOPPED.

CAN'T ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BRAIN.

SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.

GOT TO LISTEN TO YOUR HEART.

YOU GOT TO LISTEN TO YOUR HEART.

HEART SAY GO, YOU GO.

HEART SAY STOP, YOU STOP.

I LOVE YOU, CLARENCE!

CAW-CAW!

CAW-CAW!

Narrator: WHILE SOME DECISIONS TO TAP OUT

ARE A SIMPLE MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH...

-[BLEEP] CUT MY FOOT. -OH.

Narrator: ...OTHERS ARE MUCH MORE COMPLICATED.

[BLEEP] BOTH OF YOU.

Narrator: IN THE SCORCHING HEAT OF COLOMBIA,

SHANE'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS FIRST TEAMMATES,

ALANA AND DANIELLE, QUICKLY DETERIORATED.

[BLEEP]

IT ALL LED TO THE EIGHTH MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUT.

LOOKING BACK, I THINK WHAT WENT WRONG IN COLOMBIA

WAS THAT ME, ALANA, AND DANI HAD A DEFINITE

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ON SURVIVAL TACTICS.

I WANTED TO WORK REALLY HARD AND SET UP THIS POSH PLACE

AND JUST RELAX FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AFTERWARDS

AND GET INTO A RHYTHM, AND THEY WANTED TO DO

AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE FROM DAY ONE.

I WAS PRETTY PISSED.

I'M CHOPPING DOWN TREES SO WE CAN HAVE A DECENT LODGE,

AND I COME BACK, AND I DON'T EVEN SEE ANYTHING MADE.

I'M LIKE, "SERIOUSLY, MAN." I THINK YOU'RE LAZY.

OKAY.

Narrator: THE ALREADY TENSE SITUATION GREW WORSE

AS SHANE OPENED UP TO DANIELLE AND ALANA.

I WAS ABLE TO READ MY PSYCHOLOGICAL FILE

WHEN I WAS LIKE 19 YEARS OLD.

I SHOULD BE A [BLEEP] SERIAL KILLER,

READING THAT PROFILE.

WHEN I MADE THE COMMENT ABOUT THE SERIAL-KILLER COMMENT, UM...

I WAS...

KIND OF BEING A [BLEEP]

I REALLY WANTED THEM TO BACK UP AND REALIZE

THAT I MIGHT BE A SWEET GUT WHO'S GONNA BEND

OVER BACKWARDS FOR YOU, BUT IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA

TAKE ME FOR GRANTED, HERE'S THE LINE IN THE SAND.

AND, YEAH, THAT MIGHT'VE BLOWN UP IN MY FACE A LITTLE BIT.

[ LAUGHS ]

HE ALMOST SEEMS PROUD OF HIMSELF WHEN HE SAYS THESE THINGS,

LIKE IT'S A BADGE OF HONOR TO BE THIS CLOSE TO COMPLETELY INSANE.

Shane: THE TENSION GREW AND GREW AND GREW AND GREW FROM THAT.

I'M OFFERING TO HELP YOU FOR WHATEVER YOU NEED,

BECAUSE I DO -- HAVE WE ASKED FOR HELP ONCE?

SO YOUR POINT IS THAT YOU DON'T WANT ME AROUND AT ALL, THEN?

RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I COULDN'T DEAL WITH IT ANYMORE,

AND I SEPARATED, WHICH WASN'T THE BEST DECISION ON MY PART.

I'M AT A HUGE DISADVANTAGE

BECAUSE I CAN'T DO FRICTION FIRES.

[ THUNDER CRASHES ]

IT'S GETTING READY TO RAIN.

THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE DAY IT COULD DO THIS.

Narrator: WITH NO FIRE TO KEEP WARM, GOING IT ALONE

PROVED TO BE A STRUGGLE FOR SHANE.

IT'S BEEN RAINING FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS.

SO I'M PRETTY COLD RIGHT NOW.

I'M JUST TRYING TO GET SOME BODY HEAT AND WALK IN PLACE.

[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]

Narrator: AFTER FENDING FOR HIMSELF FOR FIVE DAYS,

SHANE WAS EVENTUALLY WELCOMED BY A NEW TEAM.

-HEY! -WHAT'S UP?!

[ LAUGHTER ]

-HOLY [BLEEP] JEFF. -GOOD TO SEE YOU.

-WHAT'S UP, MAN? -MAN!

Narrator: BUT THE PHYSICAL DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE,

AND BY DAY 31, SHANE HAD HAD ENOUGH.

Shane: I [BLEEP] HATE BEING SO WEAK.

SHANE?

I KNEW YOU WERE FEELING WEAK THIS MORNING.

I FIGURED I'D BRING YOU SOME FOOD, MAN.

-YOU ALL RIGHT? -YEP.

YOU DIDN'T BLACK OUT AGAIN, DID YOU?

JUST A LITTLE DIZZY. JUST WANTED TO HOLD ON.

I JUST WANT TO CRY RIGHT NOW.

LOOKING BACK ON THAT, IT DOES EAT AT ME.

IT ATE AT ME FOR A LONG TIME.

I WAS PISSED AT MYSELF. I WAS PISSED AT THE SITUATION.

I WAS PISSED AT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED OUT THERE

AND THE WAY THAT IT HAPPENED.

UM, I WANT TO EXPRESS MY INCREDIBLE GRATITUDE

FOR TAKING ME IN AND WORKING WITH MY PERSONALITY

AND ALLOWING ME TO BE A PART OF THE GROUP.

I'VE BEEN BUSTING MY ASS,

AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF ENERGY EVERY DAY,

AND I DON'T THINK IT'S HEALTHY TO RISK IT ANYMORE.

SO I'M GONNA TAP OUT.

I TAPPED OUT ON DAY 31

BECAUSE I COULDN'T PHYSICALLY PERFORM ANY MORE.

I KNOW THAT JEFF AND EJ WOULD'VE CARRIED ME

FOR THE LAST NINE DAYS...

BROTHERS FOR LIFE.

COOL. APPRECIATE THAT.

I'M REALLY GONNA MISS YOU GUYS.

...BUT I FELT IF I HAD TAKEN THAT MUCH FROM THEM FOR THEM

TO CARRY ME THAT I WOULD'VE POSSIBLY PREVENTED THEM

FROM COMPLETING THE CHALLENGE.

THAT'S NOT MY PERSONALITY. NOBODY CARRIES ME.

BEST SURVIVALISTS. I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY MYSELF.

Narrator: "NAKED AND AFRAID XL's"

TOP 10 MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUTS CONTINUES.

-DON'T EAT THE FRUIT! -OH [BLEEP]

TOP 10 MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUTS CONTINUES.

Narrator: THE "NAKED AND AFRAID XL" CHALLENGE

IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT SURVIVAL EXPERIENCES

ON THE PLANET.

-OWW! -TEAMS OF "NAKED AND AFRAID"

VETERANS JOINED FORCES TO TRY AND GET THROUGH 40 DAYS

AND 40 NIGHTS IN LOCATIONS SO BRUTAL...

AAH!

THIS PLACE IS THE [BLEEP] DEVIL.

Narrator: ...THAT EVEN THE MOST SKILLED SURVIVALISTS

CAN MEET WITH FAILURE.

OH, MY GOD.

THE COUNTDOWN OF THE TOP 10 MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUTS CONTINUES.

[ THUNDER CRASHES ]

32 DAYS INTO THEIR ADVENTURE, RUSSELL AND CHANCE

WERE TRAPPED IN A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR DEEP IN THE JUNGLE.

Chance: WE WERE HOPING THAT THE RAIN WOULD HOLD OUT,

BUT HUNTING ON A DAY LIKE THIS IS, UH...

NOT A GOOD APPROACH OUT HERE.

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THE RAINFOREST.

Narrator: IT WAS AN ORDEAL THAT WOULD PROVE TO BE

TOO MUCH FOR ONE OF THEM,

AND IT BECAME THE NUMBER 7 MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUT.

Russell: THE REASON WHY I THOUGHT I COULD MAKE IT

THROUGH THE 40-DAY CHALLENGE IS SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S SURVIVAL.

IT'S NOT HARD.

WHEN YOU RELY ON OTHER PEOPLE, THAT'S WHERE YOU MAKE MISTAKES.

I HAD A FIRE BEFORE I TOOK A NAP.

OH [BLEEP]

WELL, WHEN I WOKE UP, THE FIRE WAS OUT.

I LIKE HAVING THE FIRE. IT KEEPS ME WARM.

THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF A FIRE.

AND THIS [BLEEP] AIN'T STOPPING ANYTIME SOON.

NO FIRE PLUS RAIN EQUALS RUSSELL TAPPING.

FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S SO GUNG-HO AS CHANCE,

I CAN SEE THAT THAT WOULD BOTHER HIM IF HE TAPPED.

SO I WAS TRYING TO EASE HIM INTO IT, IF THAT WERE THE CASE.

YEAH.

CHANCE WAS UPSET THAT I LEFT HIM OUT THERE.

AND THAT'S HOW CHANCE FELT ABOUT IT.

THAT'S HIS ISSUE.

LOSING RUSS, PERSONALLY, REALLY SUCKED.

HE WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT I INSTANTLY CONNECTED WITH

MORE SO ON THE TEAM.

Russell: I DON'T SEE THAT ME TAPPING ON DAY 32 BEING A FAILURE.

I DON'T FEEL LIKE WHAT I DID WAS WRONG.

SO I DIDN'T HAVE ANY SHAME IN IT.

IF YOU WERE TO ASK ME WHO I THINK THE BEST SURVIVALIST

THAT WAS OUT THERE, I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY MYSELF.

Narrator: WEEKS EARLIER, AT PUNTA ARAÑA,

MATT PROVED TO BE A NATURAL LEADER

AMONGST A GROUP THAT INCLUDED RUSSELL.

PUT IT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT POLE, AND THEN PUT IT

RIGHT ON TOP OF THE CENTER -- VERY CENTER.

Narrator: TOUGH, CONFIDENT.

-YEP, THAT'LL WORK... -...AND ABLE TO PROVIDE

FOR THE OTHERS.

IF YOU WANTED A WARRIOR IN THE AMAZON,

YOU REALLY CAN'T ASK FOR MUCH MORE.

Narrator: BUT WHEN THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED,

THE SIXTH MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUT

PROVED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST EMOTIONAL SO FAR.

Matt: AH! [BLEEP]

TU MADRE [BLEEP]

BLACK PALM PIECE OF [BLEEP] AAH!

IN THE AMAZON JUNGLE, I FOUND MYSELF

STEPPING ON DOZENS OF BLACK PALM THORNS.

FEEL LIKE SOMETHING SHOT ME IN THE [BLEEP] TOE.

THEY WERE LIKE A HYPODERMIC NEEDLE

COVERED IN VARIOUS BACTERIAS,

AND THERE'S THOUSANDS OF THEM ON ONE TREE.

OH.

-YOUR FOOT OKAY? -IT'S HURTING.

LIKE, THIS WHOLE PART OF MY FOOT HURTS LIKE HELL.

ALMOST WANT TO CALL THE MEDIC, BUT I DON'T.

-THAT LOOKS BAD. -MATT'S A GOOD GUY.

I LIKE HIM. BUT I THINK MATT WOULD'VE LET

HIS FOOT COMPLETELY ROT OFF IN ORDER TO STAY THERE.

I ADMIRE THAT.

AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK THAT'S STUPID.

-MEDIC! -IT HURTS TO CURL MY TOES.

THAT'S, LIKE, THE MAIN PROBLEM.

DEFINITELY COULD BE.

I'VE HAD THEM RIGHT THERE RECENTLY.

Russell: HEARING THAT HE HAD A FLESH-EATING BACTERIA

GOT ME IN A BIT OF A PANIC,

BECAUSE THERE'S NO TELLING WHERE IT GOT SPREAD.

HE COULD'VE HAD HIS FOOT UP AGAINST ANYTHING, AND...

THAT SCARED ME.

-HEY, MATT. -HEY.

SO, WE RECEIVED THE TEST RESULTS BACK,

AND THE TYPE OF BACTERIA THAT CAME BACK, UM...

IS A LOT STRONGER THAN WHAT WE CAN TREAT OUT HERE.

SO IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

SORRY.

I KNOW.

Matt: I HAD FELT LIKE I HAD BECOME THAT GROUP'S LEADER,

WITHOUT A DOUBT,

AND THAT I WOULD KEEP THEM SAFE RIGHT TO THE END.

NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THAT FELT LIKE I WAS JUST --

LIKE I WAS DESERTING THEM.

-OH, YAY! -THERE HE IS!

SO, GUYS, THE, UH, BACTERIA, IT CAN'T BE TREATED.

TO MAKE SURE I SAVE MY FOOT, I'VE GOT TO GO.

THE LOOK IN THEIR FACES OF THIS HAPPINESS,

THIS EUPHORIA, ALL OF A SUDDEN TO JUST PURE DISASTER MODE.

SEEING THE TEARS ROLL UP IN THEIR FACE JUST --

JUST CRUSHED ME.

I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE END.

BUT I CARED ABOUT SHARING A LITTLE BIT MORE

OF MY SOUL OUT HERE, YOU KNOW?

I NEEDED MORE TIME. -YEAH.

WE LOVE YOU, MATT.

THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT SIZE,

STRENGTH, WILLPOWER, ALL THAT [BLEEP]

GOES OUT THE [BLEEP] WINDOW ON A CHALLENGE LIKE THIS.

TO BE HONEST, I'M KIND OF GLAD IT HAPPENED TO ME.

OTHERWISE, IT WOULD'VE KILLED RUSSELL.

-OH, YEAH, OBVIOUSLY. -RUSSELL WOULDN'T HAVE SURVIVED

A NIGHT WITH THIS THING.

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO HANDLE IT THAN THROWING

OUR [BLEEP] IN THE RIVER?

-AAH! -THE TOP 10 TAP-OUTS CONTINUE.

IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO BE HERE [BLEEP] TELL ME NOW.

-AAH! -THE TOP 10 TAP-OUTS CONTINUE.

Narrator: DURING THE "XL" CHALLENGE,

THE "NAKED AND AFRAID" VETERANS

TAKE ON SOME OF THE WORST CONDITIONS IMAGINABLE.

OH, MY GOD!

WHILE MANY PERSEVERE AND MAKE IT TO DAY 40...

YEAH!

...OTHERS ARE FORCED OR VOLUNTEER TO TAP OUT.

IN COLOMBIA, DANI NOT ONLY HAD TO ENDURE

THE SHEER PHYSICAL TORTURE OF THE BRUTAL HEAT

AND FIERCE TERRAIN, BUT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS

AND ONGOING FRICTION WITH HER TEAMMATES...

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY HATE ME SO MUCH.

Narrator: ...PROVED TO BE HER BIGGEST CHALLENGE.

HER DOWNFALL BECAME THE FIFTH MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUT.

I WANT TO DO SOME LIZARDING TODAY.

-YEAH. -YEAH, I WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN.

THAT WAS FUN.

COLOMBIA WAS AWFUL.

I WAS HUNGRY. I WAS TIRED. I WAS STRUGGLING.

EVERYONE ELSE WAS HUNGRY, TIRED, AND STRUGGLING.

AND SO I WITHDREW.

AND THAT MADE ME AN EASY TARGET FOR EVERYBODY ELSE'S EMOTIONS.

I WONDER WHAT'S GOING ON WITH DANI THIS MORNING.

JUST FEEL LIKE THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING

GOING ON WITH HER. MM-HMM.

SHE'S KIND OF EMBRACED DOING WATER.

WELL, THAT'S THE EASIEST JOB AROUND.

YEAH, GREAT. TAKES A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT, YOU KNOW?

I'M STILL DOING WATER.

I GET UP EARLY EVERY MORNING TO FILL ALL THE THINGS UP

AND DO THIS [BLEEP] I GOT THE FIRE GOING.

I WANT TO SLEEP.

-SURE. -I DON'T TAKE THREE NAPS A DAY.

I THINK THE PROBLEM WAS, DANI'S WORK ETHIC WAS SKEWED.

IN AN "XL" SITUATION, IT'S IMPORTANT

THAT EVERYBODY DOES THE SAME AMOUNT OF WORK

AND DOESN'T COME OFF AS RIDING COATTAILS,

SO TO SPEAK, BECAUSE THAT OPENS ROOM FOR DRAMA.

AND FOR THE GIRLS, WERE LIKE A PRIDE OF LIONESSES.

WHEN THEY HAD ENOUGH, THE JUST POUNCED.

I HAVE A HARD TIME TRUSTING YOU.

I FEEL LIKE IF IT ISN'T FIRST AND FOREMOST ABOUT DANI,

THEN IT ISN'T NECESSARILY A PRIORITY IN YOUR WORLD.

YOU DON'T HANG OUT WITH THE GROUP TO KNOW

WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT'S NEEDED WITH THE GROUP.

RIGHT.

ANYTHING ELSE?

IT'S TOO BAD THAT HUMANS HAVE GOTTEN TO THIS POINT

WHERE WE JUST TRASH EACH OTHER FOR SOME REASON,

WHETHER IT'S THAT PERSON'S "NOT PULLING THEIR WEIGHT"

OR THAT PERSON'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

GUYS, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GUYS THINK

THAT I AM THE WORST TEAM MEMBER YOU HAVE EVER HAD.

I'M TRYING REALLY HARD,

AND I FEEL LIKE THIS ENTIRE GROUP IS WORKING AGAINST ME.

SO IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO BE HERE

[BLEEP] TELL ME NOW.

QUITE HONESTLY, I DON'T WANT TO BE

[BLEEP] WASTING A BREATH OF MY ENERGY ON THIS

[BLEEP] ANYMORE.

OKAY.

THE WAY THAT I HAVE BEEN TREATED IS REALLY WEIGHING ON ME.

I MEAN, I'VE BEEN HURT REAL BAD BEFORE

BUT NOT BY SIX PEOPLE AT ONCE

THAT I CAN'T DEFEND MYSELF AGAINST.

THIS IS IT. I'M TAPPING.

PHYSICALLY, COULD I HAVE KEPT GOING?

ABSOLUTELY.

EMOTIONALLY, DID I WANT TO KEEP GOING?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

DO I REGRET LEAVING AT THAT POINT?

NO, I DO NOT.

I WAS REALLY, REALLY STRONG IN MY STANDPOINT

ONCE I HAD FINALLY MADE THAT CALL.

AND I'M REALLY GLAD THAT I DID.

Narrator: IN THE ECUADORIAN RAINFOREST OF THE AMAZON,

LACEY BONDED WITH TEAMMATES AMBER AND GIOVANNA.

AFTER A SUCCESSFUL NIGHT OF FISHING...

LOOK AT THAT -- PERFECT SHOT.

WE ARE NOT ONLY SURVIVING, WE ARE THRIVING OUT HERE,

AND THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE.

KICK BUTT!

Narrator: ...LACEY'S CHANCES FOR SURVIVAL LOOKED GOOD.

OUR FIRST PIECE OF FURNITURE! SO HAPPY!

WHOO-HOO!

BUT LIKE CHARLIE BEFORE HER...

AAH! AAH!

...THE JUNGLE HAD OTHER IDEAS.

IT BECAME THE FOURTH MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUT.

-LADIES... -SO, IN ECUADOR...

-...LET US DEPART. -...IT WASN'T GIOVANNA'S FAULT,

IT WASN'T AMBER'S FAULT, IT WAS MY FAULT.

WE HAD BROUGHT A FIRE DOWN TO THE WATER WITH US

SO THAT WE COULD USE IT TO DRAW IN FISH.

[ THUNDER RUMBLES ] AND THEN IT STARTED RAINING,

LIKE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR.

AMBER AND GIOVANNA ARE TRYING TO COVER IT, YOU KNOW?

AND IT WAS JUST -- OH.

IT WASN'T WORKING.

TO LOSE THIS FIRE WOULD'VE BEEN DEATH FOR OUR GROUP.

I KNEW THAT WE HAD HOT COALS THAT WE HAD LEFT AT THE SHELTER.

SO I RAN UP A MUDDY, WET HILL,

AND I HURT MY KNEE.

AAH!

HOLY [BLEEP]

I TWISTED MY KNEE TO THE POINT

WHERE I HEARD A SNAP, AND I FELT SOMETHING TEAR.

[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]

BUT I AM DAMN PROUD OF THE FACT

THAT I WAS ABLE TO HOBBLE MY WAY TO OUR SHELTER,

BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT FIRE,

WHO KNOWS IF THE GIRLS WOULD'VE LASTED OUT THERE.

ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS GETTING UP HERE.

I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION.

OH, NICE! YOU GOT THE FIRE GOING.

HERE.

OH, ARE YOU OKAY, HON?

WE NEED A MEDIC!

I KNEW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG.

I PRAYED THAT THEY WOULDN'T SEND ME HOME.

THEY TRIED TO STABILIZE MY KNEE.

I MEAN, THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO WALK.

REALLY, THE BEST MODE OF TRANSPORTATION,

AT THAT POINT, WAS FOR SOMEONE TO CARRY ME OUT.

THE MEDIC RECOMMENDED THAT WE BRING HER BACK DOWN

TO BUSH CAMP FOR OBSERVATION.

WE RULED OUT A STRETCHER RIGHT AWAY.

THERE WAS NO WAY YOU COULD COORDINATE PEOPLE

CARRYING A STRETCHER AND DESCENDING

A STEEP, VERY MUDDY SLOPE AT ONCE.

OH, OKAY.

[BLEEP] -IT WAS GONNA BE A LOT SAFER

IF ONE PERSON DID ALL THE CARRYING.

I WAS PROBABLY THE LARGEST PERSON,

SO I DECIDED I WOULD BE THE ONE TO CARRY HER.

Lacey: THAT WAS, LIKE, THE MOST VULNERABLE

I'VE EVER FELT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

-[ GROANS ] -GO A LITTLE SLOWER.

STEP BY STEP, OKAY?

AAH!

I WAS BROKEN, NAKED, COLD, AND HELPLESS,

HANGING OVER THIS GUY'S SHOULDER.

IT WAS A ROCKY RIDE, I'M NOT GONNA LIE.

I MEAN, HE WAS SLIPPING EVERYWHERE.

IT FELT LIKE WE WERE NEVER GOING TO GET TO THE MEDIC TENT.

LACEY, PUTTING YOU DOWN HERE.

GET YOUR LEFT FOOT DOWN.

-HERE. -THERE WE GO.

-I'M SORRY. I'M SO MESSY. -YOU'RE FINE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT. -CAN YOU GET MY FOOT?

-THERE WE GO. -OKAY.

-THIS IS ROSARIO. -HI, ROSARIO.

THE PAIN, IT JUST KEPT GETTING WORSE.

[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]

Man: THIS IS A FRACTURE OF THE TIBIA.

Woman: LACEY, BASED ON THIS INFORMATION...

OKAY?

YEAH.

WHEN THE MEDIC EXPLAINED TO ME

THAT I WAS GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE...

THAT WAS DEVASTATING.

IT DIDN'T MATTER THAT IT WASN'T MY CHOICE.

IT DIDN'T MATTER THAT I WAS IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN.

I FELT LIKE A FAILURE.

I TOTALLY MISS MY GIRLS.

[ SNIFFLES ]

SHE WANTED TO DO THIS SO BAD.

I KNOW.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO LET THEM DOWN.

MY TEAMMATES, THEY BROKE DOWN, AND I BROKE DOWN WITH THEM.

I'M SORRY, GUYS.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. IT'S OKAY.

IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT I WASN'T JUST LEAVING.

I WAS LEAVING MY TEAM BEHIND.

MY DAUGHTER'S GONNA WATCH THIS.

WHAT'S SHE GONNA THINK?

I MEAN, I TOLD HER I WOULD BE GONE FOR 40 DAYS,

AND TO COME BACK A WEEK AND A HALF LATER IN A BRACE?

I DIDN'T WANT THAT FOR HER. I DIDN'T WANT THAT FOR ME.

I DIDN'T THINK I'D EVER GO OUT LIKE THIS.

THIS PLACE IS UNINHABITABLE.

IT'S FRICKIN' MISERABLE.

THIS HURTS SO BAD.

I'M FEELING VERY ATTACKED.

YOU'VE BEEN BITCHING FOR AN HOUR!

Narrator: WE REVEAL THE TOP THREE

"NAKED AND AFRAID XL" TAP-OUTS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.

"NAKED AND AFRAID XL" TAP-OUTS.

Narrator: IN "NAKED AND AFRAID'S"

40-DAY "XL" CHALLENGE,

THE STRONG DO NOT ALWAYS SURVIVE.

SOMETHING'S WRONG. IT SHOULDN'T HURT THAT BAD.

IN THE EASTERN BADLANDS OF COLOMBIA,

JUST 6 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR,

THE TEMPERATURES CAN PEAK AT OVER 120 DEGREES.

IT WAS HERE, IN THE FIRST "XL" CHALLENGE,

THAT SURVIVALISTS HAKIM, EJ, AND JEFF QUICKLY BECAME

A TIGHT-KNIT TRIO OF ALPHA MALES.

-HYAH! -EJ!

-YEAH! -OH, DAMN, IT IS HOT.

-GOT TO GET SOME WATER. -I'M FEELING YOU.

Narrator: BUT THE UNRELENTING HEAT

LED TO THE THIRD MOST MEMORABLE "XL" TAP-OUT.

-UGH. -YOU ALL RIGHT?

MY WHOLE BODY'S CRAMPING. OOH.

EVERY TIME I TRY TO SIT UP, IT'S JUST LIKE...

CAN'T DO IT.

LOOKING BACK ON IT, LACK OF POTASSIUM, ELECTROLYTES,

WATER IN YOUR SYSTEM REALLY DEVASTATES YOUR BODY.

I MEAN, I AM BEYOND DEHYDRATED RIGHT NOW.

THE WAY THIS THING IS GOING ON,

THESE CRAMPS ARE SO INSANE, UM...

THIS IS A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL.

SO, WHILE I WAS GOING THROUGH THE CRAMPING,

AND I COULD NOT USE MY LIMBS,

AND I STARTED REALLY THINKING HEAVILY.

LIKE, I GOT MY FAMILY,

I GOT THIS TEAM HERE THAT'S ROOTING FOR ME,

BUT I COULD LITERALLY DIE RIGHT NOW.

THE EGO IN ME SAYS I JUST WANT TO PUSH THROUGH

AND STAY HERE UNTIL I DIE.

YOU KNOW? AND THE OTHER ME SAYS...

"THAT'S NOT VERY RESPONSIBLE."

IF THIS IS IT, MAN, LIKE, I'VE GOT MAD RESPECT FOR YOU.

LIKE, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. BUT, UH...

I'D REGRET EVEN MORE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED, YOU KNOW?

YOU'RE A TOUGH GUY, AND I KNOW THAT.

NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU.

WHATEVER YOU DECIDE, BUDDY, UH, WE'RE WITH YOU.

Hakim: I'M GONNA HAVE TO TAP OUT.

I HAD TO RECOGNIZE THAT I WAS HURTING THE TEAM.

YOU COULD BE STUBBORN FOR YOURSELF,

BUT THAT'S A SELFISH ACT.

COME HERE, MAN.

I COULDN'T ALLOW THEM TO DRAG ME ALONG.

I WAS GONNA HAVE TO REMOVE MYSELF FROM THE SITUATION

IN ORDER TO MAKE THEIR SITUATION BETTER.

IT WAS A GREAT LESSON FOR ME.

Narrator: IN THE INTENSE SOUTH AMERICAN HEAT,

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HONORA AND HER TEAMMATES,

CHRIS AND LUKE, BECAME TOXIC.

THESE GUYS ARE A [BLEEP] NIGHTMARE TO BE AROUND.

LUKE'S NOT AS BAD AS CHRIS.

UH, I DO FEEL, THOUGH,

THAT THEY'RE JUST TEAMING UP AGAINST ME.

Narrator: THE NUMBER 2 MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUT

MIGHT BE THE MOST EXPLOSIVE EVER.

Chris: I GOT ALONG WITH EVERYONE.

THE ONLY PERSON THAT I DIDN'T GET ALONG WITH WAS HONORA.

I CLIMBED LIKE A 30-FOOT SAPLING

JUST TO GRAB A PIECE OF FRUIT.

INITIALLY, WE GOT ALONG FINE.

THE NEXT MORNING, SHE WAS YELLING AT LUKE.

I'M TRYING TO BE A GOOD TEAMMATE, YOU KNOW?

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I BRING BACK A PIECE OF EDIBLE FRUIT,

AND NEITHER OF YOU GUYS WANT TO [BLEEP] TOUCH IT.

I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THE FRUIT. I ATE THE FRUIT.

IT TASTED LIKE [BLEEP]

WHEN I'M STARVING, THEN I'LL EAT IT.

BUT THEN IT GOT TOSSED IN THE MUD.

I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO FINISH THE FRUIT

THAT I CLIMBED 30 FEET TO GRAB.

I'LL CUT THE [BLEEP] TREE DOWN.

THEN YOU CAN HAVE 100 OF THEM.

STOP [BLEEP] BITCHIN'.

I'M OVER IT. I DON'T CARE.

I'M NOT BITCHING.

YOU'VE BEEN BITCHING FOR AN HOUR!

THE SURVIVAL ENVIRONMENT IS ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE

FOR ANYBODY THAT'S GOT ANY KIND OF MENTAL BAGGAGE.

I'M FEELING VERY ATTACKED.

OKAY, YOU'RE FEELING VERY ATTACKED.

EXTREMELY ATTACKED RIGHT NOW.

-THEN TAP OUT. -DON'T TELL ME TO TAP OUT!

[BLEEP] YOU, CHRIS!

[BLEEP] YOU! [BLEEP] YOU!

I'M TAPPING OUT.

BURNING THIS [BLEEP]

SAVE THE CORDAGE.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HER HEAD WAS OR THE REASON --

WHAT MADE HER BLOW UP, BUT ONCE SHE HAD HAD ENOUGH,

SHE WAS GONNA EXIT, AND SHE WAS GONNA EXIT HER WAY.

SHE'S GOT YOUR KNIFE.

YOU THROW THAT KNIFE IN THE WATER,

AND I GUARANTEE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

[BLEEP] BOTH OF YOU.

[BLEEP]

♪♪

SHE REFUSED TO OWN ANY OF HER ACTIONS.

HONORA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?

A PERSON LIKE HONORA,

WHEN THEY NEVER SEE OR FEEL THAT THEY ARE WRONG

AND THAT THEY'RE ALWAYS THE VICTIM, THEY BELIEVE THAT.

YOU CAN'T TALK THEM OUT OF THAT. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THAT.

I HAVE TRIED SO HARD TO BE -- SO --

SO HARD, TRYING TO BE SUPPORTIVE.

HOW IS THIS HELPING THE PROBLEM, THOUGH?

UM, IT'S GONNA MAKE ME FEEL BETTER

KNOWING THAT CHRIS DOESN'T GET OUT OF HERE IN 40 DAYS.

OKAY.

SO, AFTER LISTENING TO HER FOR AN HOUR -- LUKE'S NEVER --

I DON'T THINK LUKE'S EVER YELLED AT ANYBODY IN HIS LIFE.

I MEAN, I DON'T REALLY SEE HOW ELSE I COULD'VE HANDLED IT.

LIKE, I BROUGHT -- OH, PLEASE, HONORA.

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO HANDLE IT THAN THROWING

OUR [BLEEP] IN THE RIVER?

YOU GOT A [BLEEP] FRUIT THROWN AWAY.

I GOT MY [BLEEP] TOOLS THROWN AWAY.

QUIT COMPLAINING. I'M DONE.

Honora: I WANT TO TAP OUT.

HONESTLY, THE BEST FEELINGS I HAD DURING THAT ENTIRE

CHALLENGE IS WHEN SHE LEFT.

[BLEEP] YOU.

Narrator: WEEKS AFTER THEIR CHALLENGE,

THE "XL" SURVIVALISTS CAME BACK TOGETHER

TO DISCUSS WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU GUYS LOOK TOTALLY DIFFERENT WITH CLOTHES ON.

AND HONORA HAD A CHANCE TO DEFEND HERSELF.

YOU CHUCKED HALF THE FRUIT INTO THE DIRT,

AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT'S LIKE I LITERALLY DON'T EXIST.

AND YOU KEEP ME IN A SURVIVAL SITUATION WITH AN ASS [BLEEP]

I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS.

Narrator: COMING UP, THE NUMBER ONE

"XL" TAP-OUT IS REVEALED.

PLEASE!

Narrator: AS "NAKED AND AFRAID XL's"

TOP 10 MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUTS CONTINUES,

HERE'S WHAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR.

AT NUMBER 10, CHARLIE TOOK A HARD FALL IN THE AMAZON.

-AAH! -AT NUMBER 9,

THE SECOND TIME IN AFRICA WAS NOT THE CHARM FOR CLARENCE.

OH, NO!

AT NUMBER 8, SHANE BUTTED HEADS WITH HIS TEAMMATES

AND WENT OFF ON HIS OWN.

EVERYONE THINKS I'M JUST AN ASS [BLEEP]

Narrator: AT NUMBER 7, WITH THE FIRE GONE,

RUSSELL JUST COULDN'T TAKE THE COLD RAIN.

AT NUMBER 6, MATT WAS EVERYONE'S HERO,

BUT FLESH-EATING BACTERIA TOOK HIM DOWN.

I'VE GOT TO GO.

AT NUMBER 5, IT WAS DANI VERSUS EVERYONE ELSE.

IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO BE HERE [BLEEP] TELL ME NOW.

AND SHE LOST.

AT NUMBER 4, LACEY SAVED THE FIRE

BUT PAID THE PRICE IN DOING IT.

AAH!

AT NUMBER 3, THE SEVERELY DEHYDRATED HAKIM...

I JUST WANT TO PUSH THROUGH AND STAY HERE UNTIL I DIE.

Narrator: ...BECAME THE FIRST TO LEAVE

AN "XL" CHALLENGE.

AND AT NUMBER 2, HONORA'S BATTLES WITH LUKE AND CHRIS

LED TO HER CHOOSING TO GO HOME.

[BLEEP] YOU.

COMING UP, WE REVEAL THE NUMBER 1

MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUT.

[ SCREAMING ]

MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUT.

Narrator: ON "NAKED AND AFRAID XL's"

TOP 10 MOST MEMORABLE TAP-OUTS,

THE TOP SPOT ON THE LIST WAS ACTUALLY FOUR EPIC TAP-OUTS

THAT TOOK PLACE OVER 24 GRUELING HOURS IN SOUTH AFRICA.

IT ALL BEGAN AS RYAN SET OUT FOR SOME TIME ON HIS OWN.

-AND LOOK AT THAT. -HE HAPPENED UPON A TREE

BEARING WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE VERY FORBIDDEN FRUIT.

I LOOK UP, AND THERE'S A TREE.

HELLO.

IT'S STILL GOOD, WOW.

I'M JUST GONNA EAT THE WHOLE THING.

♪♪

THE NEXT DAY, WHILE ON THEIR WAY DOWN TO THE RIVER

IN HOPES OF FINDING RYAN,

JAKE AND THE OTHERS HAPPENED UPON THE SAME TREE.

THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO RYAN.

-LOOK AT THIS [BLEEP] -SO, WE JUST BUST OPEN

THESE FRUIT.

THE TASTE IS AMAZING.

EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT.

IT'S LIKE DESIRE IN A BALL.

Jake: FRUITS KIND OF TASTE LIKE HEAVEN IN MY MOUTH.

WHAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WAS THAT THE FRUIT WAS COVERED

IN EITHER BAT OR MONKEY URINE OR FECES.

WE DIDN'T SEE THAT. SO WE ATE IT.

DEFINITELY A UNIQUE FLAVOR THAT I'VE NEVER TASTED BEFORE.

WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE RIVER, WE WERE HOPING TO FIND RYAN,

AND WE DIDN'T.

I WONDER WHERE RYAN IS.

RYAN WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

BUT WE DID FIND HIS DIARY CAMERA.

Ryan: [BLEEP] DAMN. MY DIAPHRAGM IS KILLING ME.

THROWING UP EVERYWHERE.

[ RETCHES ]

THIS HURTS SO BAD.

A DOZEN CLAPPER BERRY FRUITS.

BUT AS SOON AS I SAW THAT VIDEO, I THOUGHT,

"OH [BLEEP] I'M NEXT."

DON'T EAT THE FRUIT!

-WHAT?! -WHAT?!

OH [BLEEP]

WITHIN ABOUT AN HOUR OF EATING THE FRUIT,

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT.

THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE

THAT I HAVE EVER SIMULTANEOUSLY VOMITED

AND [BLEEP] MYSELF.

SO BLESSED.

Phaedra: JAKE WAS THE GLUE THAT HELD THAT CREW TOGETHER.

SEEING SOMEBODY THAT YOU CARE ABOUT SO MUCH

GO THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS REALLY DIFFICULT AND PAINFUL.

WHILE I WAS VERY ILL, PHAEDRA JUST PASSED ME BY.

I THINK -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.

THE PAIN WAS SO INTENSE.

AND IN THAT MOMENT, I REALLY DID THINK

THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE.

Man: SO, WE'LL TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE CAMP, AS WELL,

AND START HIM ON THE SAME TREATMENT.

1, 2, 3.

Phaedra: THE BOTH OF US WERE IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN,

LYING NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER.

I TOLD HIM THAT I LOVED HIM, AND HE TOLD ME, "I LOVE YOU,"

AND IT WAS VERY COMFORTING.

SHE'S FAMILY TO ME, AND I WAS SO WORRIED

THAT SHE WAS GONNA LEAVE, AND I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE HER.

I REALLY FELT THAT I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN TO LEAVE.

AND I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY TO MOST PEOPLE,

BUT THAT'S MY LEVEL OF COMMITMENT.

I WAS GETTING LOADED INTO THE AMBULANCE,

AND THEN, I COULD HEAR SCREAMING.

IT SEEMED LIKE A HORROR MOVIE.

[ SCREAMING ]

OH, MY GOD.

AND IT FELT LIKE MY ABDOMEN WAS JUST, LIKE,

CLOSING IN ON ITSELF,

AND I JUST WANTED TO RIP IT OPEN.

OH, GOD.

IT WAS THE MOST PAIN I'VE EVER HAD.

OH, MY GOD.

[ SCREAMS ] PLEASE!

Narrator: IN 24 HOURS, THE TAINTED FRUIT

TOOK THREE SURVIVALISTS OUT OF THE CHALLENGE.

AND TWO DAYS LATER, JAKE BECAME THE FOURTH.

Jake: HOW'S THE BLOOD PRESSURE?

UH-HUH.

YEAH. I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.

THEY TOLD ME THAT I WAS TOO SICK TO GO ON,

AND I FOUGHT THEM, TOOTH AND NAIL, ON THIS.

OKAY.

AND AT THAT POINT, I KIND OF SURRENDERED TO THEM AND REALIZED

THAT IT PROBABLY WAS BEST TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

I BLAME ALL OF THIS ON RYAN.

JUST KIDDING. BUT I DO.

ONE THING I LEARNED WAS, ESSENTIALLY, THAT I COULD GET

KNOCKED DOWN VERY, VERY HARD,

AND I WILL ALWAYS COME BACK UP,

AND THAT MY WARRIOR SPIRIT WILL NEVER STOP.

THE BIG LIFE LESSON THAT I LEARNED IS THAT I CANNOT

DO EVERYTHING ON MY OWN.

I NEED PEOPLE TO HELP ME, AND I NEED TEAMMATES

WHO HELP ME AND SUPPORT ME.

Charlie: I TOOK A LOT OF GOOD THINGS OUT OF MY FAILURE,

ONE OF THEM BEING THAT I COULD FAIL.

THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A WAKE-UP CALL,

WHICH I THINK I MIGHT HAVE NEEDED.

Clarence: I WANTED TO TAKE ON THE "XL" CHALLENGE

BECAUSE LIFE IS ALL ABOUT CHALLENGES.

LIFE'S ALL ABOUT SEEING WHAT YOU CAN DO,

SEE WHAT YOU CAN HANDLE.

I WANTED TO TEST MYSELF, AND I DID.

I HAVE NO REGRETS.

-I LOVE YOU, CLARENCE! -CAW-CAW!
