Wow, wow, wow, wow.

It's big.

- Ow, [bleep]!
- Still alive?

[Opening theme music playing]

[Narrator] In the ruthless
jungles of the Peruvian Amazon...

Oh!

Wow!

[Narrator] Four XL veterans
lead a new generation

of Naked and Afraid challengers

to the next level
of extreme survival.

- Oh, [bleep].
- What?

- We got a caiman.
- [Dan] Oh, my god!

[Gasps]

- Oh, my god!
- Hold on!

- I've got it!
- Ow!

[Trish] Holy [bleep]!

[Man 2] I got
it. Boys, I got it!

[Narrator] They have
different missions.

[Rod] This is a really intense environment
to come out her and spend 40 days in.

[Bleep].

[Amber] 60 days, becoming a
legend. That's what it's about.

[Narrator] But face
one common enemy.

[Gary] This is the Amazon.

Bird-eating tarantulas
the size of dinner plates.

Bullet ants that feel like
you got shot with an AK-47.

This place is just teeming
with snakes, anacondas.

Of course, it's gonna
be absolutely brutal.

[Bleep].

[Woman 1] Hey, wow, wow.

[Woman 2] The bugs are insane

fighting ants all over me.

It was brutal.

[Woman 3] Oh, my
gosh. Look at your butt!

The itching and the
gnawing on your skin.

This environment, this
challenge, is completely next level.

[Narrator] To make
it... [Amber] Do it.

They must work together.

Timber!

[Amber] Yeah!

Cutting down trees
in the Amazon, ladies!

[Narrator] To
reach new limits...

[Gasps] Oh, wow!

[Man screaming] Yeah!

- [Man 3] Whoo-hoo!
- Yes!

[Narrator] Or fall victim..

There's a storm brewing the
likes of which I have not seen.

[Thunder rumbling]

[Narrator] To the most
feared location on the planet.

[Kaila] Why do you
hate us, Amazon?

[Jamie] Hey!

[Narrator] Who will lead?

[Man 4] I'm not gonna
stop. I never stop.

I'm a legend for a reason.

[Narrator] Who will fall?

[Kaila] My body is
just so beaten down.

Everything hurts.

[Narrator] And who
will arrive... ahhh!

[Narrator] To join the fight

- [man 5] Survivors!
- Hello?

- [Man 6] What's up?
- What?

[Man 5 screaming] That's
right! The legends have returned!

Let's go!

Look at that whopper!

-[Screaming] We got... [continues
indistinctly] -[Both] Whoo!

Yay!

[Man 7] It's time
to pass the torch.

Come on, guys, row!

[Man 7] It's time for
new legends to arise.

- [Amber] That's right!
- [Man screaming] Yeah!

[All screaming]

[Narrator] First to enter
is XL veteran, Gary,

joining forces with rod and Waz.

[Rod] Everywhere
you look there's food.

You just gotta get it.

And everywhere
you go, you are food.

- [Both] Yeah.
- [All laughing]

[Rod] One thing I know about
you is on these challenges,

- if it's dead and rotting, you know where it's at.
- Yeah.

I'm absolutely the one known as
being a scavenger of Naked and Afraid.

I'll eat anything you
put in front of me.

Tongue time.

There we go.

Mmm.

Have you ever eaten alligator penis
in the middle of a Louisiana swamp?

- I don't think you have.
- [Gasps]

- Did you see it?
- [Gags] No.

[Laughing]

[Vomiting]

I don't play it safe. That's
definitely not my forte.

I'm a hard-headed [bleep].

Uh-oh.

[Amber] Oh!

But you have to be confident and have
an ego to come out here and do this stuff.

I mean, I'm willing to swim.

Wow, wow, boys! Gator, 25 yards!

- What?
- He went under, I can't see him no more!

On my last challenge, I hit 40,
thought I was on my way to 60.

I got the head right here
with the organs and the mouth.

[Max] Cool.

Daddy's gonna eat good tonight.

Stuck some alligator
eyeballs in my head.

You know, eating all that gator, I
should maybe back off a little bit.

I'm starting to have
eyes for only gator.

And then I got sick.

Right there.

[Coughing]

This animal could have
had some kind of a disease.

When you start pushing
the envelope like that,

you can get yourself in trouble.

[Coughing]

I got put in check by nature.

There's things out here that
you don't see, that you don't hear,

that can get ya.

I went to the challenge to tap.

I love you guys.
Sorry I have to go.

[Crying]

So this is my redemption.

My biggest fear as far as the big
predator goes is the large anaconda.

- Wow.
- It's crazy.

You don't see 'em, a big
enough one gets a hold of you,

you're in a fight for your life.

- Yeah.
- I agree.

[Waz] We're gonna have to do this
the right way, this is not a game out here.

You're not in
control of everything.

It can take you out, no
matter how tough you are.

This location is the
pinnacle of survival.

It's resource-rich, but you
also have to bring your a game.

But I was trained
in the military.

I was a department of defense
contractor. I was training marines.

Most of my training when I was trained
in the military was open water survival.

I've been practicing outdoor bushcraft
ever since I was about 16 years old.

If I had to classify myself,
it'd be a problem solver,

so just an ability to
think outside the box.

So what I'm gonna do is try to weave
some of this monkey fur together.

Stitch the top to some sort of frame that I
make, and then we got a bit of a fish scoop.

This is gonna be a snake stick
so we can maintain a safe distance

- and hold it down.
- I think that calls for a high five.

I don't really do high fives.

- Well, whatever.
- Since I was eight, I sort of stopped,

- but I'll make an exception.
- What do you prefer?

- [Laughing]
- Not doing high fives.

[Laughing]

Hang on a second.

Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily say that
I am the strongest hunter out here.

Ah. Big pig.

But I'm never gonna quit.
It's just not in my nature.

There's a job to do,
you get the job done.

[Straining]

Jesus.

I was impressed.

You turned around, that
pig jumped in the water and...

- [Both laugh]
- You dove right in after it.

- That was the worst choice he ever made.
- [Laughing]

It really is time to take that next step
and challenge myself a little bit more.

And come to a
tougher environment,

and, uh, taking it
to the next level.

- [Rod] We ain't in Kansas anymore.
- [Gary] Yeah, right?

The biodiversity here in every
aspect is blowing my mind.

It is. It's way different
than my last challenge.

My first challenge
on Naked and Afraid

was in South Africa
on a tribal challenge.

In Africa, there was
animals everywhere.

But everything was dry.

So entirely different
environment.

This is a really dense jungle.

It's gonna be hard to hunt.

I'll use my bow, but
it's gonna be tough.

What I brought to the table in
South Africa was my hunting skills.

Holy cow.

And within a few days,
we had our first kill.

[Squealing]

There he is.

I am real big into
traps, fishing, hunting,

so I thrive in this.

This is something that I love.

So that's all the wood you got?

[Danielle] Yeah,
that's all the wood I got.

The only problem I had in
South Africa was my tribe

a little irritating that we
got a couple pieces of wood

and we're running
out of daylight quick.

Never good enough, is it?

I am usually very straightforward,
the way I say things,

but some people don't like
to hear what needs to be said,

and that kinda
situation, I can clash in.

You don't think that's a
lot of wood right there?

- No, that won't last us through the night.
- All right,

you have a nice day.

- As long as we have time...
- You know what?

I've been doing
things all day long.

- As long as we have time to get firewood...
- Okay, go get your firewood.

Go get it.

But I've earned my
spot on this team.

There it is. Yeah!

- [Both] Whoo!
- Awesome!

I'm looking forward to the
group dynamic that we have here.

I'll tell you right now, I ain't
climbing these 300-foot trees.

- [Both laugh] - You know?
- That ain't gonna be me.

I'm gonna let you do
that. But you're the man!

[Gary] And it's obvious to me
that you're a damn good hunter.

If there's something
there, I'll do everything I can

to kill it, and bring
it down to the table.

This is a tribe with
a lot more talent.

People with the right mindset as I
have, wanting to thrive in a situation.

And we're gonna rock this.

We got the jungle
studs out here...

- Yeah.
- In the Amazon.

- [Laughing]
- Yeah! The studs...

- Yeah!
- We're doing this! We're doing this.

40 days is gonna
come before you know it.

And we're gonna be
standing under on the end,

with meat in one hand
and my bow in the other.

The boys...

Are back for another challenge.

[Narrator] For this special
dual tribe challenge,

teams will be evaluated
each week on a modified scale

the XLS or XL success metric

will weigh each group's
collective skills and survival status

to determine the likely percentage
of reaching their 40 and 60-day goals.

Gary brings unprecedented
grit and know-how.

[Gary] There it goes.

Timber!

Watch those bees.

[Narrator] But also a dangerous
tendency to push the envelope.

[Gary] Yeah, I'm getting stung.

[Bleep], [bleep]. [Exclaims]

[Narrator] Waz has
military experience,

and elite water training.

While rod's proficiency
with the bow,

should be a significant
asset it's late, but we're here.

[Narrator] They received an
initial team XLS rating of 66%.

We're gonna start cutting
down this Amazon rainforest.

You know, I got the Pulaski.

What else do I need to say?

[Laughing]

Oh, [bleep].

Chopped down this tree
here to make a raised bed

and some of the
sap got in my eyes.

This sap is poisonous.

It'll kill you if you drink it.

[Waz] How you feeling, Gary?

Oh, I feel all right. I just got
some of that sap in my eyes.

- Damn.
- [Bleep]

My eyes are very irritated.

Ugh.

It keeps getting worse.

[Groans]

[Exclaims]

Ugh, [bleep].

What?

Wow, wow, wow, wow.

[Exclaims] Help,
help, help, help. Help!

He got me pretty deep.

If it's a poisonous spider, I don't
want it right next to our camp.

Do you know how many poisonous
spiders are in this camp, right?

Ooh, look at its legs.

In the Amazon, everything
here wants to kill you.

- [Amber screaming] Oh, my god!
- [Jen] Ooh, god, that's gross!

There's anacondas that
get 30 feet long, 500 pounds.

Holy [bleep]!

[Amber] You got caiman and
there's piranha in the water.

All that stuff... god, that is
nothing compared to bugs.

I can feel the bumps
all over my back.

Just welts everywhere.

This sucks.

It's brutal. We probably each
have about 300 mosquito bites.

[Rod] The bot-flies, when
they bite, they're drawing blood

and then if another
fly lands on there,

they're gonna lay
an egg in there.

They're just... bastards.

Horrible!

Bugs are killer.

[Jamie whispering] Oh.
What the [bleep] was that?

Oh, this is horrible.

Jamie's having
a really hard time.

He hasn't gotten
any sleep at all.

[Jamie] I've done
sleep-deprivation before,

but this is just a
whole new level.

Having to stand constantly.

And if I don't
stand, I get eaten.

[Sighs]

[Kaila] Why do you
hate us, Amazon?

[Narrator] The second
team to take on the Amazon

is XL alum, Amber,

who looks to lead Jen
and Trish to success.

Forty days is really hard on your
heart and soul, especially your body,

and then taking it
the next step, 20 days,

to a 60-day challenge
is so intense.

It'll be the hardest thing
I've ever done in my life,

besides go to war in Iraq.

[In sing-song voice] I'm back!

Thinking about 60
days, it is incredibly hard.

It's so tough on you
mentally and physically,

but I was meant
for this challenge.

I am just so happy
to see all of this.

I really did miss the jungle.

I have a ton of experience
with XL challenges.

Yeah!

Oh, my god!

[Gary] Looks like we went
through quicksand out here.

Gary, it's a little
harder over here. Oh!

Wow!

Even though we were
enduring all the bug bites...

Oh, my god.

Whenever the flies
bite me, I bleed.

And the freezing cold
weather temperatures..

I can't feel my toes
because they're frozen.

Oh, my god. Amber's
feet are literally frozen.

I really embraced that challenge
and the people I was with.

[Bleep].

Ahh! [Laughing]

And that's how
it's done out here!

Do it hard, behind his head.

- [Grunts]
- Yeah!

Yeah!

I just had the worst
luck getting hurt.

Because of the freezing
cold weather temperatures,

my foot swelled up like a club.

I think I'm fine, I just
can't feel my toes.

You might have a pulmonary
embolism and you could die.

I'm sorry I have to
medically tap you.

[Crying]

Being medically pulled
literally devastated me.

It broke my heart.

So now my biggest hope for the
60-day challenge is just to complete it.

I just wanna push every
limit I have possible.

Take on every challenge.

Grab the bull by the
horns, and say, "I did this."

I'm excited about being
a leader to the group.

Share all of my experience
with anyone who's with me.

And I can guarantee
they will make it.

I will make sure
my partners make it.

Nothing's gonna
stop me out here.

60 days, becoming a
legend, that's what it's about.

- The black flies are tearing up my ass right now.
- [Laughing]

I am not the type of person
who keeps something in.

-They're sneaking in from
the back of the seat -[Laughing]

And just, like, wrecking
my ass right now.

So I'm not Afraid
to say it like it is.

And that's because
I'm very Jersey.

I'm prepared to make
it 40 days, absolutely.

I'm gonna do it because
I said I'm gonna do it.

My first challenge was
in Rio Claro, Colombia.

It was a really hard
environment to be in.

Especially the bugs
that bit you at night.

Ow! [Bleep]. Goddamn it.

Last night it was a
horror show. [Laughs]

It rained 17 out of 20 nights.

We even had a flash flood.

What's happening?

[Jeremy] We're flooding.

[Trish] Get the
[Bleep] out of here.

- [Jeremy] Look, it's coming in.
- Oh, my god!

Dude, we gotta
hurry the [bleep] up.

- It's coming in!
- [Jeremy] Yeah.

[Trish] It was terrifying
and miserable.

Such a mental
and physical battle.

So hard.

I could've quit.

I could've been hungry
and tapped out, but I didn't

because I put myself in a situation
where I said, "I'm going to do this."

And I did it.

[Screaming]

I think my experience
in Colombia was just my

training ground for this
Amazon experience.

We did it!

41 days!

But at almost 50, I can still
set my mind to something

and do it, just like always.

I think the jaguars just have
to watch out for the cougars.

[Both laughing]

[Amber] How do you feel
about having all-female partners?

I feel good. I've had interesting
luck with partners, and so...

- Right.
- I'm looking forward to taking on the Amazon

with an all-female team.

[Jen] My first challenge
was in Guyana.

It was a 14-day fan challenge

one of the biggest struggles
was the heat. It was brutal.

- [Shane] We better get some shade here soon.
- [Jen] Yeah.

[Shane] I don't think
I've ever been this thirsty.

Damn it!

You mind if I piss
in this, uh, lid?

- In the lid?
- Yeah.

- Why?
- 'Cause I'm thirsty.

Have you ever drank
your own pee before?

By accident.

My partner left after 48 hours.

[Crying] I wanna go home. I
wanna get out of these woods.

[Crying] I wanna go home.

I wanna go home.

Oh!

In Guyana, I was
taking on challenges

that I had never
experience before in my life.

Ugh.

Ooh! I just caught a fish.

Oh, my god. There's a snake!

Oh, hell no! You are gonna die!

Completing that challenge alone
felt like an insane milestone for me.

I made it! [Crying]

Whoo-hoo!

My second challenge
was a 21-day in Bulgaria.

- Ugh. There is thorns everywhere right here.
- [Jen] Yeah.

Oh, [bleep].

- I'm gonna tap.
- [Jen] You're not.

Having two partners tap at exactly
48 hours beat me down a little bit.

[Bleep] Deja-vu, you know?

But my mental fortitude is
probably my biggest strength.

Hoping this new fire pit works.

And we'll be good to go.

It got down to 28
degrees in Bulgaria.

I am trying to heat my body

[sniffles] In so many ways.

My body was just shutting down.

That ultimately took me out
of the challenge on day 13.

I'm wondering if my partner
will question me coming in

from a fan to taking on 40 days.

But I think I have what it
takes to be in this challenge

regardless if I've
completed 21 or not.

And being with Amber and
Trish is gonna be so solid out here.

- We're not gonna bail on you like those dudes.
- I know.

Maybe this is all I
needed. [Laughing]

The girls are solid. You know
how women are. Stick together.

Even if I have to drag you
guys across the finish line,

I'll take care of you.

[Narrator] In her
return to the Amazon,

Amber brings
elite fishing skills.

[Amber] I got a catfish!

[Narrator] And her gator
knowledge will be an asset

hunting caiman in the jungle

Trish has proven herself in a
brutal rainforest environment.

While Jen showed great
resilience in her fan challenge.

Ooh. There we go!

[Narrator] But has yet to
survive beyond the 14-day level.

[Crying]

I wanna go home.

[Narrator] Their starting
team XLS score is set at 55%.

Should we jump back
on the raft project?

Instead of moving the heavy one
first, we can move the other three,

and do that first, and
kinda get them set up.

[Jen] Could we move
this one, then that one?

[Amber] No.

The raft is going this one,
big one, then small one.

Let's just get this big one while
we have the most energy right now.

Well, that's not the first one.

If we just pull
it as we lay it...

Whatever. Do whatever
way you want. Let's just do it.

Let's just do what?

Trish, it's just a
smooth system.

Whatever. Let's
just do it. I don't care.

Amber and I have
different survival strategies.

I'm not here to argue, but it's
hard for me to hide how I feel.

I'm tired of this already
mode. I wanna get it done.

[Amber] Trish, we're trying to do this
the best we can with the energy we have.

[Trish] What? I'm bringing the [bleep]
log over here. It's what we've got to do.

Why are you bitching about it?

Do you know how to build a raft?

I got the log over here, right?

- No, I said...
- Wasn't that the next step?

"Do you know
how to build a raft?"

Oh, sure I do.

You're being a [bleep].

And?

Trish, shut up, right now.

No. I'll never [bleep] shut up.

[Gary] Wow, now this
is some thick jungle.

[Rod] There you
go, there's the mud.

- [Gary] Yeah.
- [Rod] The mud and the muck.

[Dan] It's, uh, it's a scar thing
we're walking into for sure.

Ooh.

These leaves over here might
have a toxin silicone in them that can

close off my esophagus
if I try to ingest it.

[Amber] I feel so sick.

I'm not doing good.

Something as simple as chopping a
tree and doing it with the wrong tree

it could be a game
changer, it could be a tap out.

Oh, snap!

I think that is the poison tree.

Oh, yeah. I wouldn't even be
trying anything with that tree.

You know, you think, "oh,
look, there's a pretty frog."

Well, no, that's a poison.
It'll kill you if you touch it.

Oh, oh, oh!

[Gary] Don't touch him!

[Woman] Oh, my god.

[Gagging]

There are diseases
left and right

that can take you
out in a second.

I am dry heaving.

[Stomach gurgling]

No.

Puking.

[Vomiting]

[Coughing]

Squirting.

[Vomiting]

I am messed up.

There's a reason why
people don't live here.

- I like this spot.
- [Amber] Let's start chopping down.

So... we need two more of these.

And... I feel lightheaded.

I'm like...

[Exhales]

- [Jen] Breathe.
- [Amber laughing]

- We have to get this done so bad.
- [Jen] Yeah.

[Bleep] I would love
to sit down but I can't.

I feel so sick.

I'm not doing good.

I may need to go puke.

I don't know what happened,
I could have had a reaction

to some of the vegetation
here in the Amazon.

Did I touch something, like a tree
or a plant, and touch my mouth?

Just seeing Amber struggling on
the first day was like, "oh, man."

[Vomiting]

This is the first
day. What's next?

[Vomiting]

[Amber coughing]

[Vomiting]

[Narrator] Next to enter
the merciless Peruvian jungle

is XL veteran, kaila, with
40-day challengers Dan

and Jamie.

The thing is, a lot of the most
dangerous things you can't see.

Once you see it, it's too late.

- Yeah.
- [Dan] Cayman that can go

up to a kilometer
into the forest.

Yeah. You wouldn't even
be suspecting it and it's there.

- They'll attack you.
- [Dan] Yep.

[Kaila] This is the jungle.
Like, this is no joke.

But I'm really excited.

Especially since there's not a
lot of females that have done this.

I'm just one tough
bitch. [Laughs]

I feel like I really earned
spot to do a 60-day challenge

'cause south Africa
was just brutal.

It was so hot and I
was constantly burning

the bottoms of my feet
walking on the sand.

Obviously we want to get
water as soon as we can, too.

- [Woman] Yep.
- [Kaila] 'Cause this sun's gonna dehydrate us real fast.

And we had male
lions stalking us.

[Woman] It's a
fat lion paw print.

Really?

As far as the survival
skill that I bring to the team,

my role would be the hunter.

[Cheering]

I've grown up hunting.
My dad taught me

how to do it since I
was a little tiny girl.

And it's all about
patience, perseverance...

[Exclaims in frustration]

And I'm mentally tough.

[Whispering] Did you get it?

- [Woman 1] Did you hit it?
- [Kaila] I hit it! I hit it! Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're such a badass.

Oh, my gosh.

Naked and Afraid history.

The first two girls
to ever get a big kill.

- Like getting a bull.
- [Bleep] Ever.

That was such a
crazy moment for me.

Is that what I think it is?

- [Man] No way.
- [Woman 2] Oh, my gosh!

And it just felt so good to
be able to bring that back

and feed my team.

[Everyone cheering]

I would like to do some night
hunting if you guys are down to do that.

Yeah. Everything's
gonna come out at night.

So this is gonna
require next level skills.

- You gotta take it one day at a time, guys.
- Yep.

I'm confident in my skills.
I'm confident in my knowledge.

And I'm ready to take
it to that next level.

I'm not Afraid to swim with
sharks or anything like that,

'cause they can see you.
They know you're not prey.

But when things attack
is when you're in murky,

shallow water usually where they
like mistake you for a prey item.

- Yep.
- Yeah.

And that can happen
so quickly here.

This environment
makes me very nervous.

But, on my last two challenge

it's just been insane
how much I've learned

and how much I've
grown as a survivalist.

My first challenge
was in Caiaphas, Mexico,

a 14-day fan challenge.

I'm a biologist and I have a
really diverse set of knowledge.

My biggest survival philosophy
is getting to know my environment

and being able to make a
mental catalogue, a library

of what each thing
could offer me.

I notice when I walk
along the edge of this lake

frogs jump out of the
plant and into the water.

It gave me an idea to try to
make a net out of our mosquito net.

I'm using this to melt
a hole through here

so hopefully they won't tear as much as
they would if I used a knife to cut them.

We'll see how this goes.

All rightly, frogs.

Got one.

Pretty stoked. This
could really provide us

some protein to get
through extraction.

My 21-day challenge in
the Chihuahuan desert

was a brutal environment
that I was not used to at all.

Everything is sharp
and spin [grunting in pain]

My partner was
not well-prepared.

She could not handle the
bugs and the environment.

[Whimpering]

[Woman] I can't handle it.

She ended up
tapping on day three

leaving me alone to
complete 17 days by myself

which is something I never
thought I could accomplish.

I'm an extrovert. I get energy from
people and from working with people.

And it was rough. [Laughs]

Definitely feel myself slowing
down. I'm getting weaker.

[Gasps] Ow.

I'm losing it right now.

In the Chihuahuan
desert especially,

I learned that you just have
to not be Afraid to [bleep] up.

Oh, [bleep].

I kind of devised my own methods
for capturing snakes out there.

Whew! [Chuckles] I just
whipped it around a bit.

It worked well. [Laughs]

My biggest accomplishment so far
was completing that 21-day mostly alone.

Yes. [Laughs]

It taught me a lot about myself
and what I'm capable of and...

[Kisses]

Now I'm here, 40
days in the Amazon.

I'm gonna be honest with you

even though I've done
a tone of research,

I'm terrified out here right now
and what we're about to get into.

This is just a
crazy environment.

Everything is constantly
eating everything else.

So much life and so much death.

[Jamie] We often become
the environment that we're in

so, everything else
is eating everything,

- we have to do the same.
- We're gonna have to do it.

[Jamie] So I'll be,
without a doubt,

the first Scotsman
to take on 40 days.

And I'm ready to go like
you would never believe.

40 days, here we go.

My first challenge was a 21-day
tribes challenge in South Africa.

It was very barren

and dangerous animals
like every five feet.

The weather in south Africa
was very unpredictable.

It's raining. Our fire is
just smoldering away.

When I had my down moments
when it was really, really cold and wet

I just tried to keep
myself moving.

[Groans] It's freezing.

This is when I ask myself
why the hell am I doing this?

[Grunts] Still stronger
then ever. God.

There's no complaining.

If I want something
done, I'll just go and do it.

And I felt like I had the whole
of Scotland behind me as well.

Got my grass kilt.

I'm merely doing Scotland proud.

There's no giving
up because of that.

I'm a hard worker.
I'm here to survive.

Wow. It's a dead something.

It's a fresh kill by
the looks of things.

Finding that bush buck, that
was an absolute godsend.

- I have food.
- Holy [bleep].

I take the brains out
and rub it into the hide

and hopefully leave
it to dry in the sun.

This whole process is
absolutely disgusting.

During my time in South Africa
I have no regrets whatsoever.

I think I absolutely
smashed that.

[Both cheering]

Come on! Yes!

So I'm definitely up
for a bigger challenge.

Why not come to the most
harshest environment in the world?

The Amazon rainforest.

The way I'm feeling right no

I could take on
absolutely anything.

We can do it, though.

- Yeah, we go this.
- That's why we're here.

Absolutely.

[Narrator] Kaila brings experience
and proven hunting skills.

- [Exclaiming in excitement]
- [Man] Wow.

[Woman] Uh, wow!

There's meat tonight.

Total game changer.

[Narrator] Dan brings
a keen scientific mind

and a vast knowledge of plants.

[Dan] This is the strawberry cactus
which you can eat the cores out of.

[Narrator] And Jamie's primitive
survival skills are a strength to the team.

[Screams]

[Narrator] They
begin the challenge

with a projected group
success rate of 59%.

[Jamie] Feels nice on my feet.

- [Kaila] Mmm-hmm.
- [Jamie] Oh, well.

[Dan] I'm just looking around
now for another 'Y' shaped stick

to put near the cooking pot.

[Bleep].

Giant snake.

[Grunts]

Whoa! Guys!

[Dan screams]

Oh, my god. [Grunts]

Out in this environment, the way that
it can change in the blink of an eye...

[Thunder claps]

I hate thunder.

[Lisa] Those are definitely
rain clouds above us.

I guess we're about to get wet.

[Steven] When it's raining
and you're Naked and freezing

it sucks the soul
out of your body.

Hypothermia's a real thing.

Widow-makers falling in
this canopy's a real thing.

[Dan] Okay, that's enough.

I'm over it.

Whoa.

[Tree crashes]

Oh, my god.

[Kaila] The Amazon
is just relentless.

One plague after
another out here.

[Lisa] Oh, my god.

[Steven] The ground
is sucking water.

You can feel,
literally, the air...

[Loud thunder]

Bring it on,
Amazon. Bring it on.

[Steven] Let it rain,
let it rain, let it rain.

Okay, let's not poke the Amazon
bear with a "let it rain" speech.

[Loud thunder]

[Steven] Holy crap,
what a freaking nightmare.

Everything's totally soaked.

I mean, just totally saturated.

Soaking wet ground.

It was just, tempest,
death, Noah's-ark-flood rain.

I mean, it was dumping.

Oh, my god.

Bro, I got a leech
on my [bleep].

I got a leech on my penis.

You have got to be
[Bleep] kidding me.

[Narrator] The final team to
enter the dark heart of the Amazon

is XL veteran Steven who Lea
40-day hopefuls Lisa and Tim.

I'm having flashbacks
from my last 60 days.

- Right.
- It's just such a crazy ecosystem out here.

Anacondas, some of the
deadliest snakes in the world.

- I'm a little nervous about the bugs.
- Yeah.

Everyone says about
the absolute worst,

it can't be worst
then worst, right?

[Steven] Well, [chuckles]
This is Naked and Afraid.

[All laugh]

[Steven] Do I consider
myself a legend?

Absolutely. And I earned it.

Every single barefoot
step out here, I earned it.

Oh, my god.

I've conquered every
environment on the planet

from the backwoods of Alabama...

That is one of the most
venomous snakes in America.

To the savannas of Africa...

[Woman] Oh, my god!

[Steven] ...Two weeks in the
shark-infested waters of Andros island...

We got a little bit
of dinner, guys.

I'm kind of a big deal,
I keep telling you guys.

And 14 days in the
froze tundras of Alaska.

Hello.

But, this is the first time I've
ever been in the rainforest.

That last challenge I did was 60
days in the bayous of Louisiana

and it's a whole different
ballgame going from 40 to 60.

Holy [bleep].

Yeah, that'll make you pucker up
when you're [bleep] deep in the swamp.

The swamp was rough.
You're in a horrible place.

[Bear grunting and growling]

You're starving. You're
getting eaten by bugs.

You're not getting any
sleep. It was ruthless.

But, my biggest asset in every
single one of my challenges

is my attitude
towards the challenge.

Feeling good today.

Positivity breeds success.

Look at that!

[Screams]

I'm a big team player. I like
to come together as a group

to accomplish something that
everybody thinks is impossible.

[People cheering]

It's the last cruise to
extraction, legends.

[All screaming and cheering]

[Steven] And, you know,
real what it comes down to is

I have all this knowledge
and all this experience

and to be able to pass that
down to the next generation

I feel like it's almost a
responsibility of mine.

So this is the jungle, baby.

[Laughs] The jungle
could break anybody.

[Lisa] Wow, y'all.

- It's getting narrower. It doesn't fit.
- Yeah.

- The jungle's closing in.
- The jungle's closing in.

It would be epic if I
would make it to 40 days.

And I just hope the Amazon
doesn't chew me up and spit me out.

Whoa. You wanted the jungle?

This is the jungle, baby.

We are here.

My first challenge
was in The Bahamas

and I did it mostly by myself

the bugs were horrendous.

Look at all those mosquitoes.

I cried myself to
sleep many nights.

And I just can't sleep.

Uh, it's [bleep].

I was definitely digging
really deep to finish.

I feel a little
nervous right now.

I didn't come all this
way not to make it.

You know, I've had
several challenges in my life,

breast cancer, I kicked it's
ass twice so I can handle a lot.

I'm also driven.

I was coming out in a
body bag or a stretcher.

There was no way I was leaving.

I learned from my 21
days in The Bahamas

that maybe I'm stronger
than I thought I was

and there's inner
peace that comes from

when you complete
something like that.

Oh, my god.

Hey! [Laughs]

Doing a longer
challenge is really taking it

to the next level and
it's gonna be a true test.

My goal is not to
suffer through this.

- No.
- You know, I want to do cool stuff,

- I wanna make cool [bleep].
- Right.

- We're in the freaking Amazon, I want to enjoy it.
- [Steven] Yeah.

What excites me most about
being here in the Amazon

is it's so unique
in its environment.

This is extreme
survival at its finest.

- From my last challenge, this place is a flip 180 degrees.
- Yeah.

My last challenge in
Africa, it was taxing.

Our extraction is way down here.

It was hot. Some of the water
sources were pretty far away

so that was very
challenging in itself.

[Woman signs] The sun is just
killer. It's sucking the life out of me.

- [Tim] Oh, look at that.
- [Woman] Is it dead? Looks like a zebra?

[Laughs incredulously]

Oh, man.

- [Tim] That's a nice hunk.
- [Woman] Yeah, that's great.

I've been skinning
animals my whole life.

This is what's called fleshing.

You got to scrap this off to
get down to the actual skin.

Which, the skin
will turn to leather.

You know, that's my job.
I mean, that's what I do.

Dried it in the sun and
fashioned a pair of shoes out of it.

If the shoe fits...

And they lasted
the whole challenge.

- [Sighs in relief]
- Success.

Once I had shoes, I could
get out there and hunt.

[Exclaims]

But on the challenges,

there's always something
unexpected waiting for you.

It really scared me a lot when
I got bit by that violin spider.

Damn it.

It was pretty bad.

[Man] Yeah, it's not good.

[Man continues speaking]

[Tim] It seems to be okay,
but now there's venom in me

and my body just
freaking absorbed it

'cause, uh, I'm
a [bleep] badass.

- Here it is.
- [Woman] There's our ride.

[Tim] I'm proud of what I
accomplished in Africa, bu

I think I left a
lot on the table

and I think with this
40-day challenge, um,

I'm hoping to see how far
I can actually push myself

both mentally and physically.

[Both cheering]

We're gonna be a great team.

- Yep.
- [Steven] I know we're gonna work together.

We need to focus
on those 40 days.

Take it a day at a time and make
our situation better every day.

I think we all agree on that.

- Absolutely.
- Here goes nothing.

Yeah. Teamwork
makes the dream work.

[Narrator] Steven
brings legendary skills

and the experience of
six successful challenges.

If that's not good gator
bait, I don't know what is.

[Narrator] Lisa proved her toughness
navigating shark-infested waters alone

ah, ah, ah. No, no, no, no, no.

[Bleep] It's getting real.

[Narrator] And Tim offers a superior
level of bushcraft skills and innovation.

[Woman] Tim actually made a
torch to protect us from the predators.

[Tim] Success.

[Narrator] As a result,
their combined XLS,

or chance of reaching their
survival mission targets, is set at 72%.

[Blows]

[Steven] There's a reason
why people don't live here.

It's hard.

And there's no telling who's
even left, to be honest with you.

I mean, it's a
brutal environment.

[Dan] This challenge has taken
so many other people already.

It's really daunting
when you have to

look forward to the rest
of your time out here.

Can I keep on
going? I don't know.

[Boat motor approaching]

- [Woman 1] Oh, [bleep].
- [Woman 2] What?

[Man 1] I'm here to
show that it can be done.

I know what it's like.
I've been there. Done it.

[Man 2] Hell yeah, I'm coming.

[Screaming] Hello!

[Steven] No way.

Are you kidding me?

[Lisa] What is happening?

[Man 2] Look, can I
join your guys' party?

- What?
- Look at this guy.

This challenge just took
on a whole new level.

Oh, my gosh, I see somebody!

[Man 1] Better late
then never, right?

I'm here in the middle
of the Amazon jungle.

There are some really,
really dangerous things.

[Gasps] Ow!

At the same time,
everything you're looking for

to help you is out
here surrounding you.

[Kaila] It looks like there's
a nice cat-claw over there.

Hmm. That was actually amazing.

You just have to be able to
find it and utilize it properly.

- Yeah, baby!
- Yeah!

Look at that.

They're cannonball fruit,
deters mosquitoes and insects.

[Steven] You chew it up, spit it in
your hand, you rub it on your body.

Sounds like a good time.

[Dan] I am going to
make myself a little garden.

So I ate a bunch of tomatoes
before, uh, starting the challenge.

Nice, big juicy tomato with
seeds that just so happen

to pass through
your digestive track.

Making little terraces here.

When I started the challenge and
went to the bathroom for the first time,

I mixed it with some
dirt and there's a bunch

of little tomato sprouts
coming out of the ground.

Put a little water.

So I am going to, uh,

bring Naked and Afraid from
the paleolithic to the neolithic.

Naked and Afraid
agriculture out here.

And there you have it.

[Alarm clock blaring]

I hate 3:00 A.M.

Every morning, 3:00
A.M. I have a 1,300 calorie

weight-gaining shake
ready next to me in the bed.

That's been my daily routine
now for, oh, say a month?

How to prepare for
Naked and Afraid.

I'm skinny. I'm
not really prepared.

But, I'm the king of the forest.

And you throw an
adventure in front of me,

I'm gonna do it.

Currently getting
attacked by mosquitoes.

The heat, humidity and
bugs of Wisconsin summers

are definitely preparing
me for the Amazon.

- [Woman] What are you doing?
- Reinforcing my knife sheath.

Making it a little
more skin-friendly.

[Amber] I am practicing
my skills every day

in my backyard in Colorado.

Practice makes
perfect is the truth.

I'm leaving for the
airport in 12 minutes.

And I haven't even
packed yet. [Laughs]

This was like trying
to pack with a fox.

What are you biting on?

I got a couple
questions for you.

- Yeah?
- Are you gonna miss me?

That's not even a question.

That's not a question?

[Tim] He's got my knife.

Hey!

No you're not. You're gonna be
having fun with your friends in the jungle.

[Tim] Give me my knife.

Get, get, get.

[Sighs] She's so bad.

[Rod] Here you go, buh-bye.

Oh, sweetie, you can't come.

You've gotta stay here.

We're at the airport
saying goodbye.

I got my husband and my
mom. My great support system.

- Good luck, Amber. You're gonna smash it baby.
- You got this.

- [Laughs]
- Okay? Superwoman here.

[Both laugh]

'Sup. At the airport.

[Both laughing]

He really is sad.

We're in the airport.
It's about to get real.

I know it's hard to kinda literally
pick up your whole life and...

Run away to an adventure.

But I think that's
kind of why I'm here.

Quarantine on the boat and looking
forward to getting this thing started.

I'm waiting anxiously.

Waiting.

I have company.

Look at that. I love it.

Last night before we begin.

Trying to squeeze
in one last snack.

I'm gonna miss
you, toilet paper.

Something about
wiping my butt cheeks

with bark or a stick
is not appealing.

I'm literally just
about to get inserted.

Peace out, stay safe.
I'll see ya in two months.

Here we go.

[Narrator] With no
more time to prepare,

four veterans lead the next
generation of XL challenger

deep into the Peruvian Amazon

we're on the freakin'
Amazon river, guys.

- Like, it's crazy.
- Wow.

It's like a different
planet out here.

This place is truly wild.

It's the Amazon and
it's gonna eat us alive.

And that's what makes this
challenge the most epic one yet.

Are you ready for this, Gary?

[Yells]

[Narrator] This season...
On Naked and Afraid XL...

[Laughing manically]

Yeah!

[Screaming]

- [Loud thunder]
- [Man] Oh, my god.

[Dan] This challenge
is completely next level.

- [Animal growling]
- [Steven] Hey!

Ah. Come. Help,
help help, help, help.

[Steven] It can break you.

It got me pretty deep.

[Steven] It can break anybody.

[Groaning in pain]

My body's just so beaten down.

I just squirted again.

[Man] Evidently, people are
dropping like flies out here.

I know what it takes to
get through this place.

[Man] Can I join
you guy's party?

- Look at you.
- I'm just here to help out.

Game changer.

Yeah!

That's bigger than a chicken.

Oh, nailed it.

- Oh.
- Get ready, okay, go!

Ha, ha, ha.

He's striking, he's striking!

[Yelps]

[Coughing]

[Woman] The Amazon
chewed him up and spit him out.

I've never failed before, man.
