Original subtitles

[ Screams ]

I wish they had pain-o-vision

so you could feel what we went through.

My greatest fear was dying.

Narrator: 12 survival experts, all complete strangers...

I see you're naked. I know.

...took on the toughest challenges of their lives.

One man and one woman were paired up

with the sole aim to survive 21 days

in some of the harshest environments on the planet.

They had no water, no food, and no clothes.

Just follow the white butt cheeks.

In six countries around the globe,

they faced physical and mental traumas

that none could have ever anticipated.

I can't take this.

Now, for the first time,

with previously unseen footage from the 21-day challenges...

Cockroach. Mmm.

...the survivors and their loved ones reveal

a unique perspective

on the Everest of survival challenges.

So, you were bad-mouthing me? I was pissed.

Narrator: This special episode sheds

got him... And lows

of the most demanding and authentic

survival series ever created as "Naked and Afraid" bares all.

Laura: There was nothing romantic about it.

Narrator: Surviving in the wild, in the harshest conditions,

with no protection from clothing

was the toughest challenge these experts ever faced.

Laura: This was hands down the most unique experience I've ever

being naked out in the wild with a strange man was crazy.

Yep. The weirdest thing I've ever done.

Puma: I took my clothes off.

I'm standing there naked, staring at the jungle.

And it occurred to me that I'm a bit of a dummy.

"What the hell am I doing here?"

Here we go.

Narrator: But the first problem to overcome

was when two total strangers

met for the first time completely naked.

Well, there's my partner.

This is not awkward at all.

I see you're naked.

[ Laughs ] Billy: Yeah, I know.

Billy: To meet this woman for the first time,

and she's naked,

that's when it really hit home.

This was as real as it was gonna get.

Should we and just, like, check each other out now?

We might as well do it right now just to get it out of the way.

Get it all out.

Hello. Aloha.

David: When we heard that Alison was gonna be

in a discovery survival show

without clothes with a strange man,

as a father,

there's always this brief impulse of, "what?"

Just follow the white butt cheeks.

It made me nervous,

the idea that she's gonna be out there

with this naked dude.

The one piece of advice I said is,

if it gets cold, she's the big spoon.

[ Laughs ]

We're naked. We might as well, uh, hug here.

E.J.: There's no romance here.

We're two people ...first time in Africa.

You do what you have to do.

This is serious. It's no joke.

It's not, you know,

"oh, look at those two out there naked, running around."

This could be life-threatening.

You better at least have the will to survive.

Otherwise, you won't make it.

I think it's just... he's crazy.

[ Laughs ]

I didn't perceive it as them being naked together.

I didn't perceive it as this couple.

I perceived it as teammates

working together to try to survive.

Awesome!

Maybe get something to cover our bodies

so we're not getting thorns all in our ass because this bush...

actually, I have one in my ass that I can't get out.

So, I don't know if you feel like...

I don't... Doing the honors.

There it is right there. Hold on.

[ Chuckling ] Aah.

Hold on. I almost got it.

I think it's good. Okay.

[ Normal voice ] Awesome. Thank you.

I don't think either one of us realized

what we were really signing on for

as far as what a real, serious challenge this is.

People can say what they want.

You're not doing it. We're doing it.

And just sit there on your couch and enjoy the show.

Isn't that true?

I think we should test our bed out.

Yeah, we should do that.

Yep. Definitely.

Here we are in our orangutan nest.

Yeah.

[ Laughs ] It's definitely what it is.

Julie: It was cold, and we had to huddle together to keep warm.

It was definitely a little weird for me.

Here I am laying naked next to a man that I don't even know.

I thought it was gonna be a huge issue sexually, but it wasn't.

You know, Jonathan's not exactly my type.

Shane: We're dirty and sweaty and smelly,

and both me and Kim were pretty raunchy.

Yeah, there was no way we were gonna have sex together.

There was no way.

I'm all tucked into bed.

I'm ready to hopefully get a good night's sleep.

I know you're thinking,

"Naked guy, naked girl out in the wild.

Romantic situation."

Just laying out in the open

waiting for mother nature to take a [bleep] on me.

No.

There was nothing romantic about it.

[ Clint snoring loudly ]

Clint: I'm a really, really light sleeper,

so if anything does come in camp,

I'll probably be the first one to wake up.

[ Snoring continues ]

I really like a lot of space when I sleep.

Like, sleeping is my alone time.

[ Snoring continues ]

I don't like sleeping next to someone,

like, near someone.

So, what do you think?

Clint: Yeah, Laura woke up on

of the palm leaf this morning, so...

[ Laughs ]

Don't tell her I said that.

Puma: Something's out there.

Hello?

Narrator: While the survivors got to know each other

huddling together in their shelters...

[ Animal chattering ]

...they all quickly became aware

that they were not the only ones in their camp.

Billy: That first night, the swamp's coming to life...

Just heard something walking on land over there.

...was really scary.

E.J.: I heard hyenas. Kellie: There he is.

[Bleep] Out of here. I got to get

Kellie? Clint: What is that?

Got my eyes peeled.

A caiman! Oh [bleep]

There's a little one right there.

Holy crap!

Julie: There's something moving around down there.

[ Snorting ] I'm gonna check it out.

Billy: Hey, don't move. There's a snake over here.

Ky: I think my biggest concern out there was the snakes.

They were everywhere.

Got him.

Ouch!

Oh, did he bite you?

Or is that a cut ...no, he bit me.

I was really fortunate 'cause I had Billy,

who's great at chasing them away

or killing them if we needed to eat.

I promise, you will not go to waste.

I promise I'll make it quick.

I really think the only time Billy was happy out there

was when he was killing those snakes.

Got him.

Wow.

It really brought out the man, maleness in him.

Every time he bites me, he's...

He's drawing blood.

He's got... they've got teeth.

[ Clears throat ]

So, you can see he just hit me a couple of times.

He got me. He got me right there.

You can see his... that's where his top jaw hit,

and I guess that's his bottom jaw.

It's, like, perfect mouth shape.

They're not venomous obviously, but they do hurt.

When you are out there,

you got to do what you go to do to survive.

Have you ever eaten snake before?

Yep.

I haven't.

You haven't? No.

Just like chicken?

Everything tastes like chicken.

At least, that's what they say.

I didn't know that these guys ate other snakes,

but apparently they do.

We'll see it.

It looks like it's a garter snake.

Ky: So, we've got a snake in a snake.

I've never seen a garter...

and he's got a tadpole in him, too.

Well, he had a fully belly, that one.

So, this will be good. We'll feast tonight on snake.

Narrator: Dealing with dangerous predators was a con

but starvation quickly set in...

My whole body almost feels shaky, you know?

...making them desperate for food,

no matter how repulsive.

Here you go.

No, I'll pass on that. Thanks.

These are edible, right?

I mean a lobster is nothing but a cockroach of the ocean,

so probably.

Cockroach. Mmm.

Jonathan: We cut open the palm trees, you know?

We found coconut grubs.

Perfect. Alison: Yeah, baby.

They're ugly, big-looking worms.

They're fat. They're full of guts.

I mean, it's just crunchy,

and you could feel the pooper

and the eyeballs go down and everything.

It's just crunchy and nasty.

Bon apptit.

It's egg. It's good.

It's a good find.

[ Laughing ] You have egg on your face.

All right.

Well, I was gonna chicken out and not eat this earthworm,

and then, I decided actually I am gonna eat the earthworm.

There and being hungry...

I mean, I was able to eat things that I didn't think I could eat.

You know, I kind of, like, put it next to my lips.

I'm like, "I'm not sure about this."

Aah! [ Laughs ]

Ew, its poop is coming out.

Ew.

Aah! [ Spits ]

It's kind of wiggling still.

I'm totally eating more of those.

Kind of crunchy with the dirt.

Narrator: Subsisting on grubs and bugs

is not enough to survive the 21-day challenge.

Alison: So many hunger pains

that we actually sat there one night

and did a diagram and had a discussion

of who on the crew we were gonna eat if it came down to it.

Narrator: Needing at least 2,000 calories a day,

they all had to step up their game

in the quest for protein.

Oh, look, look over there. Zebra.

Yeah, and wildebeest.

Don't kill anything we can't carry,

that's like bigger than an elephant.

Kellie: We didn't care what it was.

If we could hunt it...

we ate anything we could get our hands on.

[Bleep] Ooh, I hear him.

We're eye to eye to a mongoose.

It means potential for food.

Here he is. Here he is. He's on my right.

Come up from behind him. Back up and go behind him.

E.J.: I'm coming under the rock.

He's in here, so get him.

I see him. I see him. He's right there.

Ohh! You hit him.

But you didn't hit him good.

He's under the rock. He's coming under the rock.

Here we are, me with stick and stones,

and E.J. with his clubs

and literally like cave man, cave woman,

chasing around this little mongoose

like a predator.

And that's what I became.

[ Grunts ]

I don't know where he went.

He's right there. We got him surrounded.

Right down here. He's right in there.

Coming back up.

[ Rock clacks ] Yeah! Whoo!

You got him.

[ Shouting indistinctly ]

Yeah!

Whoo!

I don't think the jungle wants me here anymore.

Narrator: "Naked and Afraid" continues to bare all

with new, never-before-seen footage.

My health and my well-being

is more important than this challenge.

[ Voice breaking ] It was my son's 18th birthday yesterday.

[ Imitates buzzing ]

Shane: I just killed the world's

deadliest [bleep] snake butt-ass naked,

and it's not big enough for her?

Are you [bleep] man?

Kim: I feel like [bleep]

Shane: All I'm trying to do is survive.

Narrator: Six couples of complete strangers,

all experts in survival,

took on the toughest survival challenge of their lives.

None of them were prepared

for the overwhelming physical traumas they faced.

And no one was left unscathed

by an experience they would never forget.

So cold. I'm, like, physically shaking.

[ Screams ] Damn it!

The one thing I'll say that's hard to imagine

while you're sitting back home watching this...

I wish they had pain-o-vision

so you could feel what we went through.

Aah!

Yeah, this is so much [bleep] fun!

Hungry, tired, cold, hot, dehydrated.

Aah!

It is just unexplainable.

Naked sliding.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, my God.

Ow! Mud up the ass. Vine to the [bleep]

Ky: I don't think you can ever understand

the physicality that's required

to complete 21 days in this sort of environment.

Narrator: Every pair had to face an unknown environment

that quickly became their enemy.

They endured conditions so tough

that each expert was pushed to the limit of their endurance.

[ Grunts ]

Every moment captured

by a small crew documenting the challenge.

Julie: It was raw out there. I mean, it was real.

And people can't really see that just from a camera.

[ Groans ]

Moving through this jungle is impossible.

My body took a huge beating out there for 21 days.

I mean, I broke three toes.

One was fractured significantly on my right foot.

It caused extreme pain.

I broke it on day four.

See for yourself.

I hope you like that one

'cause I will not be doing that again.

That was [bleep] gnarly.

Yep.

Aah!

[ Grunting ]

[ Coughing ]

Oh, my God.

That is one [bleep] drop.

Holy [bleep]

There was nothing to hold on to.

I tried to grab roots, and they just broke.

I got a nice video of it.

Out here, nobody would even find you.

[ Sniffles ]

It would be hours and hours and hours

before you guys found out where I fell.

And that's pretty scary.

Laura: Blood. Oh, my God.

That's really bleeding.

This show is the real deal.

Like, we are subjected

to whatever the environment throws at you,

and you can never predict

whether it's gonna be wildlife, the weather,

cutting yourself, or ...our feet rotted off.

Oh, my God.

I mean, you are out there 24/7, and there is no button

that you can press to get out of it.

[Bleep] Bugs.

This sucks.

They're so painful.

Of all the physical things we had to deal with,

absolutely the worst was the bugs.

This is the worst itching I've ever experienced,

and it's all over my body.

[ Imitates buzzing ]

Ky: It's the little things that your senses are just inundated with

that become the big battle to get through.

It'll take me a couple days

to clean all the ticks out of my genitalia area.

Narrator: As the hours turned into days,

the grim reality of the situation

made everyone question

whether they had enough to complete the challenge.

Heat exhaustion has already definitely set in.

I'm burnt and miserable.

100% humidity and 100 degrees.

We're only 20 miles from the equator.

It's ridiculous.

Oh, my God.

Being in the sun, you know, almost 12 hours

and walking around the island... being burnt that bad

was one of the most miserable things I ever put myself through.

Oh, my God.

I don't want to be here no more. I just want to go home.

I was this close to quitting.

I don't want to stay there

and continue being burned for another 20-something days.

I was pretty much telling producers

that I wanted to quit.

The second I'm in the sun, it just feels like I'm in hell.

It's ridiculous.

This heat is really, really hot.

It's excruciatingly hot. It's ridiculous.

My fear is I don't want to go to the hospital,

and I don't want to leave my partner alone.

But my health and my well-being

is more important than this challenge.

Oh, my. What a day.

Oh-ho-ho.

A lot of heat.

Some interesting drama.

Poor Jonathan.

Man, he is fried.

I definitely don't think

that Jonathan was overreacting to the sunburn.

If it doesn't get any better tomorrow,

and I get more sun

just by fixing this or looking for food,

it's gonna kill me.

It did start to make me question

whether his skill level in primitive survival

was gonna be up to snuff.

Jonathan: I don't care how badass and big you are.

You put yourself with a sunburn like I had,

you're gonna puss out and want to quit.

I pretty much reconsidered

'cause I don't want to disappoint my daughter.

I want to be a positive example for her,

and I don't want her dad to be a quitter.

Billy: You've got so many unpredictable things

that are gonna happen when you're out there.

The weather can turn on you.

[ Thunder crashes ]

It's really hard to stay warm

when it's wet and cold and you have no clothes.

E.J.: That is the hardest thing to imagine,

going from 96 degrees heat of the day,

and you know, it would drop

close to hypothermic most every night.

Ooh!

That storm that came,

the crew couldn't make it to the island.

So, guess who was filming it and trying to survive?

Ah, it's taken the roof right off of our other shack.

Holy gnarly out there.

Man, it's wild.

Pretty brutal.

This is not the island of luxury.

This is not the paradise you always think at home.

This is the dead center of death.

The heat during the day

and now these monsoon-, typhoon-type winds

and cold, cold, chilly rain...

this is definitely not the place to be stranded on.

Of course, now the hard part begins.

Hunger sets in.

E.J.: The effects of sleep deprivation,

food deprivation, dehydration...

I know what that can do to a person's body.

[ Groans ]

There was, I think, a stretch of five or six days

where we had no food.

Now I've lost some muscle. I've lost fat.

And I know we're at the point

where our bodies are starting to consume themselves.

My greatest fear was dying.

I feel sick.

I don't know what's wrong.

Somebody told me that there's, like a green bile in turtles.

I had never heard of that.

I might have eaten it.

I don't think the jungle wants me here anymore.

I'm not listening.

Puma: A million ways to die in the jungle.

I was looking out for snakes and boars

and trees falling on my head,

and it was the invisible world of the microbes

that took me down.

[ Sighs ]

I don't know what it is.

I've got a gnarly fever.

Body aches.

That was probably the sickest I've ever been,

pretty dang close.

The worst fever I've ever had for sure.

[ Groaning ]

I had hallucinations during those fevers.

It was pretty harsh.

I really... I can't believe

that puma actually drank that water.

He never told me anything about that.

Puma: I spent a week in a hospital in Borneo.

To this day, two months later, I'm still not 100%.

I'm still feeling it.

I've been watching some of the other episodes,

and I think the one thing that I feel I've been robbed of

is the elation of completing the challenge.

I really wish I could have experienced that.

Overall, this experience was dangerous.

Every day, there was something

we had to concern ourselves with to protect ourselves.

Really convinces you that you ain't that badass out there.

Any minute, anything can take you out.

Watch it! Aah!

These are the things that people don't even comprehend.

They look at the survival situation

and see the big picture like, "yeah, I could just sit there

for 21 days and get out of it."

[ Screaming ]

As tough as this challenge was,

as physically demanding, I don't tap out.

I don't give up. I never quit.

I'm not gonna give up on my partner,

let alone this challenge.

I just would not do it.

Yeah, I'll give you a survival challenge.

He's going on to your next one.

That one looks pretty good.

Next one? What? There's not another one!

Aah!

[ Screams ]

If we don't find water within the next two hours,

we're gonna have to come up with a "B" plan,

and I'm not sure what that is.

Narrator: Every expert was given a primitive survival rating

or PSR.

The PSR was based on three categories...

skill, experience, and mental.

But applying those skills successfully

over 21 days in the harsh environments

was a formidable task.

Alison: There's no faking it out here.

You have to be a survivalist.

Jonathan: You do what's important,

and we'll survive.

Regardless of what it is, we need to find food.

We need it bad.

The materials out here suck.

The things you need to make a good fire are just not here.

We had skills, and it was that tough on us.

Think about it.

If you didn't have a single skill,

what would you do?

You want to go out and test your skills.

Mother nature spanks you back down again.

Son of a...

It's a humbling experience.

Fire's gonna be a trick in this environment.

I think getting off the ground is gonna be really important.

Kim: Let's find pieces with Y’s in the top.

Then we don't have to worry about

lashing it insanely to keep it elevated.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Okay. That's fine.

Narrator: Although forced to overcome

team members often had

different approaches to getting the job done.

But they don't work worth a [bleep]

[ Grunts ]

You let me know if you have another idea,

and we can work on it tomorrow.

No, I don't have an idea now. No idea's gonna work.

I can't do it like that.

It's okay.

It's either the right way or it's... I can't do it like that.

Laura: Having Clint out there with me...

our approaches to survival were really different.

I'm more of a risk-taker,

and Clint was a lot more cautious.

Clint: Survival is all about knowing

when to exert yourself and when not to.

I simply had a realistic approach,

and, you know, I wasn't out there

to show off for the cameras.

Laura: To me, the very word "survival" is like living.

Right? I'm surviving. I'm existing. I'm living here.

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff out here

that can put a hurt on you, so it's good to be cautious.

Laura: I don't do this 'cause I want

I do it because it brings me to places like this

that are so amazing.

But one day, Clint really surprised me.

We were standing under

the water apple trees setting traps,

and all of a sudden, out of nowhere,

behind me, I hear this, "thwap!"

[ Gasps ]

And Clint had just knocked

a tiny, little bird out of the tree with his gig.

It may look [Bleep] I don't care.

I'm hungry.

You're only gonna feel like a [bleep]

When you open it up

and you see how little meat there is in there.

Well, you know what?

I know. It's something.

Yeah.

I couldn't believe he had that kind of reaction time

and that he had that kind of aim.

I was really proud of him.

I haven't even tried fishing with it yet.

Don't need to.

Don't need to when you got skills.

Man.

I wish we had some wild carrots or something.

So, of course, we cooked it up,

and it made a really tasty, if not small, dinner.

Wow.

Bob is awesome.

Wow.

I made fun of you, but nice work.

There is a method to my madness.

Building one big shelter,

we can both fit on one bed that's elevated off the ground

so we can use each other as body heat to keep each other warm.

How's it going, shelter man?

Looking good.

Well, it's interesting because in survival,

they say the number-one thing is to build your shelter.

Well, clothing is your number-one shelter.

Yes.

And, you know, I'm not a nudist.

I'm like MacGyver.

I can weave a hat or make a blanket

just using the elements of the island.

Jonathan: Alison definitely had talent

for making the baskets and knitting hats.

Items of necessity... shoes, hat, blanket, baskets.

Don't want to make a coconut bra.

If I take coconut husks,

we can make ourselves some shoes.

It's a meditation for me,

and it's, at the same time, an essential.

[ Sighs ]

I think the challenge is

that there's so many things I want to do

and that I'm capable of doing

and things that would be so cool.

Jonathan: I told her... I was like, "why you waste your time on all this

knitting baskets and stupid hats, when we should be hunting for food and looking for water?

This is a Samoan mat, a Samoan blanket.

But you could also use this for fishing.

Blah. A blanket.

Or you could flip it and carry things in it.

Very handy for carrying things in

like coconuts, a dead body, in case Jonathan dies on us.

[ Grunts ]

A lot of people have been questioning,

"well, girl, why didn't you make him a hat if he was so lobster?"

Actually, I made that first hat for Jonathan.

I need to get you a hat... a big one.

And he refused to wear it.

I tried.

You're not a basket weaver?

Jonathan: Once we have food, shelter, water,

then we can joke around.

Then we can weave baskets. Then we can relax.

Nothing.

[ Laughs ]

Coconut jockstrap.

[ Laughs ]

I cannot believe you just said that.

I'm not gonna put up with this [bleep] anymore.

You ready? I'm mad.

Come on, E.J.

You know, when you get thrown into a survival situation,

teamwork's important.

Go past what you've been doing and stop.

Just give it everything.

Definitely is. Yeah.

Yeah!

Blow on it. There you go.

You ready? Yeah.

We found ways, while we were out there,

slowly but surely, to adapt

to what mother nature was doing to us.

Fire! Yeah!

The trick is, heat them up... awesome.

...and then put them on your ankles.

Cool.

The noni leaves are working.

My swelling in my foot's going down.

It's pretty awesome. It feels amazing.

There's the confidence factor when you do have success.

Help hold this and tie it around here.

And then, you just put one of these at the bottom.

Drink, drink!

Look how fast it filled up.

Oh, my God.

We got two lobster!

No kidding? Yeah.

Can you believe it? High five!

Go out into the woods,

give mother nature a little kiss,

and you will feel like

a human being on planet earth for the first time in your life.

I guarantee it.

[ Laughs ] There is a God.

Whoo! Come get a drink.

[ Laughing ] Yeah!

Billy, that is dry land.

We're gonna make this swamp our bitch!

Narrator: Coming up, survivalists battle

with their emotions and each other.

I wish I would've known

what I was getting into before I started this.

For a girl that never even asked me one [bleep] question...

she never even asked my [bleep] damn last name.

I'll be by my [bleep] self.

Kiss my [bleep] ass.

Yeah.

He's kind of like ...that's crazy.

Ky: I don't think many people realize

how long three weeks really is.

Narrator: All of the survivalists had

to incredible physical challenges,

but as time wore on, what surprised them all

was the psychological toll

of the constant, daily struggle to survive.

I'm just scared, you know?

Like, I'm out here in the middle of the [bleep] jungle.

I think mentally is the part

where this challenge was the most extreme.

I'm scared.

I know that the most important thing

to keep control of is your own mind.

Shane: Because my brain just wouldn't function.

I couldn't get it to focus on anything

other than primal, survival stuff.

See, I couldn't focus on words, sentences, anything.

My brain was gone.

Without food and water,

your mind is probably one of the first things to go.

Hoo.

Hoo.

Hoo.

Hmm.

[ Voice breaking] It was my son's

18th birthday yesterday, and...

I really wish I could have been there for him.

I mean, I know he gets...

he understands why I'm out here with this challenge,

but personally, I'm sad that I'm not there.

But, Ty, I know when I get back there,

you and me, we're gonna go to your favorite spot

where you and me go all the time.

I just want to cry. I just want a fish.

I'll make a deal with you.

If you come in and let me eat you,

I'll basically do anything you want.

Just bite my hook.

I'll make little fish pompons, and I'll do fish cheerleads.

[ Sighs ]

I wish I would've known

what I was getting into before I started this,

'cause I wouldn't have done it.

There's no way.

I can't stay in this damn swamp.

It was really difficult for me to maintain a positive attitude

considering the difficulties

and how the odds were stacked against us.

[Bleep] Man. Billy:

Honestly, I mean, I'm done.

I'm done with this freaking place.

I don't want to be here anymore.

Ky: We're gonna get through this, Billy.

[ Sighs ]

So, Billy has an amazing set of survival skills,

but sometimes, I worried

that mentally he wasn't ready for this challenge.

[Bleep]

This ain't gonna work.

This is when I get pissed and start breaking [bleep]

Honestly, I mean, I'm done.

[Bleep] Man.

[ Sighs ]

I mean, this place sucks.

Tonight, my morale is at an all-time low,

the lowest it's ever been since I've been on this show.

I just want to get through this and get home.

I'm tired of starving,

mosquitos eating me alive like they are right now.

God dang. They feel like bees.

Ky: I mean, I feel like Billy found the nights the hardest.

There was one time when he's like,

"I wish I had someone to talk to!"

[ Laughing ] And I'm like, " Wow what am I? ".

I figured tonight was gonna be a mother.

He definitely struggled with the nights,

and that made them a little bit harder for me, as well.

It's not good.

I'm not Naked and Afraid now.

Now I'm naked and pissed off.

But then, the daybreak would come,

and the Billy blues would get shook off,

and he would face another day.

I don't want to give up, and I'm not gonna give up

'cause I don't want people to say,

"well, hell, you came this far.

Why did you give up?"

You know, they don't know.

They've never done anything like this before.

I've never done anything like this before.

When you're surviving, it's a roller coaster.

You can have an...

Whoo-hoo!

...overwhelming success,

and then, 20 minutes later, a crushing defeat.

[ Sighs ]

I mean, I...

[ coughs ]

I gave up my girlfriend's 40th birthday

to come out here and suffer like this.

And I've got some big apologies to make when I go home.

That's the way I feel.

Come on, Billy.

If you're not going to throw in the towel,

we got to get moving.

I got to make dinner.

This is not gonna get us anywhere.

I got mud on my ass now.

E.J.: It just doesn't click.

We're from two different worlds, and it's frustrating.

I'd be better off out here by myself.

Narrator: In their depleted mental and physical state,

it was only a matter of time before the survivalists

took their frustrations out on each other.

Clint! Hey!

I finally see the effects

of a lot of food deprivation.

We're starting to kind of get at each other a little bit

because these things just start to wear on you.

When you're with somebody that long,

you're gonna get sick of seeing them.

Can we, I don't know,

explore some other options of ways to get some food?

Well, you're the one with all the answers,

let's see.

Am I? That's what it seems like.

Kellie: He's telling me how to walk on thorns,

as if he's an expert.

You act like you're miss know-it-all,

and I give you that respect.

You do know a lot. Do I?

Yeah, you come off that way.

And you're gonna come off that way on the show.

Trying to [bleep] kill me.

I know he's really frustrated, but I'm really frustrated, too,

I definitely had a little attitude towards Clint.

There was tension.

We need to do a realistic attempt at food, so...

Well, there's food just sitting in the ocean.

Clint: It was like we were married...

I said, "so, what's the deal, you know?

"Do you think I'm incompetent?

Do you think I'm lazy?" And she's like, "no."

And I was like, "then, what's this, like, body language?"

...without the relations.

I want to stress that. It was completely professional.

What'd you say you've been up to?

That's a lot of [bleep] work to cut that firewood.

It's just that it's getting really old

with the [bleep] "what have you done all day [bleep]"

At least one of us was productive today.

When you are sitting in the middle of the raining jungle

with somebody that really bothers you,

then 21 days feels like forever.

I want to be by my [bleep] self.

Kiss my [bleep] ass.

The toughest part, for me,

had nothing to do with anything physical.

It was mentally taxing being out there with Shane.

He had a lot of personal issues

that he had not dealt with in his life.

When you're in a tough situation,

all of your demons will come out.

Whatever you want.

'Cause you'll just make me miserable

until we don't do what you want.

That's not true.

It was already a hard enough environment as it was.

And then, to be put with someone that I did not get along with

and had nothing in common with and was not communicating with,

it was very frustrating.

And to watch the show and see her bad-mouthing me?

I was pissed, man.

For a girl that never even asked me one [bleep] question...

she never even asked my [bleep] last name.

I would like us to treat each other as human beings.

Over time, I was very frustrated and annoyed

with her criticizing everything that I was doing.

I mean, she criticized the building of the lodge.

She criticized the size of the snake.

I just killed

the world's deadliest [Bleep] snake butt-ass naked,

and it's not big enough for her?

Are you [bleep] man?

I'm talking to a [bleep] kid

who thinks she's playing boy scout and it's all fun.

Yeah.

He's kind of, like, crazy.

[ Grunts ]

Billy: Keep your eyes out, Ky.

Alison: I have to say

that watching the other episodes...

the locations are wild.

Holy moley.

Please, don't send me to Africa.

Right there. Hold on.

[ Laughing ] Aah.

That just looked intense.

[ Sighs ]

I can't do it like that.

I think that all of the guys

other than myself were [bleep]

Oh, that's freezing.

I mean, seriously, you have one item to bring,

and you bring a pair of [Bleep] swimming goggles,

and you're afraid to go in the water?

Are you joking me?

Well...

I mean, come on.

...yeah, I'm not gonna get into all the smack talk.

Hello. Aloha.

If I was to do another challenge,

I'd definitely want to be

in a different country and a different partner...

...hopefully, with a partner like Laura,

who I believe we have more things in common,

and we can definitely get along and work together.

And also snuggle.

[ Laughs ] It sounds dirty.

[ Laughs ] She probably has a boyfriend.

My girlfriend's gonna get pissed.

[ Laughs ]

Narrator: 21 days surviving in the harshest environments

was a physical and emotional journey

that brought all survivors to rock bottom.

Struggling to make it through the challenge,

they all had to find some last reserve of strength and will

they never knew they had.

Ky: Honestly,

at the end of my rope.

I don't want to stay out here anymore.

[ Grunts ] There's a thorn in there.

Aah!

E.J.: When you're getting grinded down so bad,

your emotions just start to snowball.

The thing with this place is it keeps changing.

So, just when you think

you've got a handle on what's going on,

it kicks you in the teeth.

I just want a drink of water.

Narrator: For some, the overwhelming

proved to be too much.

Julie: I just... I'm scared, you know?

Like, I'm out here in the middle of the [bleep] jungle.

You know, I never planned

on this being a trip of suffering.

Don't even want to be here.

I'm signing out now.

Narrator: 18 days into the most difficult challenge

Julie tapped out.

E.J.: I've been through a lot of hard events.

This is one of the harshest things

I've ever attempted to do.

This was tough.

This was tough.

Just never quitting ...that's the thing.

That's what our survival story is.

We were down several times, but weren't out.

[ Sighs ]

I know I'm a changed man.

I'll never forget this.

Billy: We've had some really rough times out here.

I mean, victory, defeat, victory, defeat.

And when I go home and say,

"we just engaged ourselves

"in the most insane survival experience

that's ever been devised,"

I can hold my head high.

Through it all, we kept going. We didn't give up.

We went all the way through.

It's gonna be good to go home.

It is beautiful.

I don't know of many places on earth

that are quite as beautiful as what I'm looking at right now.

And believe me, I've seen most of planet earth.

I set out on this adventure to find out what I was made of.

[ Sniffles ]

Because I knew what it was gonna take.

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

[ Voice breaking ] It took everything I had.

And I still feel like I failed, like I just didn't do enough.

[ Sighs ]

What'd we eat?

Two snakes, a couple lizards?

I missed that bird at two feet distance

when I had him dead to rights.

It would have been nice to eat a nice bird one night.

[ Sighs ]

It just took everything I had.

I'm marking myself.

This mark represents...

All of the emotional hard times.

My motivation is just that we're so close.

I'm really, really grateful for this experience,

but I'm exhausted, and I'm done with it.

For my tears.

So close.

[ Sighs ]

The 21st notch...

very long-awaited day of departure.

I feel like the king of Africa, baby! Yeah!

It's our way out of here! It's our extraction!

Yeah!

Clint: That's where we're heading.

Time to get out in the water.

This is our extraction point.

Billy: Keep your eyes out, Ky.

There's a path for us to take

up to the extraction point.

Let's go. Lead the way.

Start going out that way.

I can't tell you what it feels like.

Joy, sorrow, pain, starvation.

I am so ready to get the heck off of here.

[ Sighs ] Doing good, Kellie.

We're almost there.

Clint: I've never felt more alive

than when I was starving and thirsty and dirty and tired.

...proportion to the map.

This should be about the spot.

I can see a clearing.

Let's walk together.

[ Helicopter blades whirring ]

We're over here!

I see them.

There it is!

Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! He's coming!

He's coming!

Ky: We did it.

I know exactly who I am now.

I know what I got.

[ Laughs ] Whoo!

Laura: I'm really proud of the fact

that even when things were bad,

we pushed through them.

Clint: It was honestly one of the most exciting mo

we totally did it.

Oh! We [bleep] rock.

When I strapped in,

and I realized what I had achieved...

Yeah! Yeah!

...I mean, I don't think there's words

that can explain the joy of getting out of that swamp.

Shane: Bye, jungle. Bye-bye, jungle.

Goodbye, Costa Rica.

This is for all you who watched us suffer.

[ Smooches ]

Hope you enjoyed that big wet one.

[ Laughs ]

E.J. and Kellie survived 21 days.

Kellie: Goodbye, Africa!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Narrator: Do you think you've got what it takes

to survive 21 days in the wilderness

Naked and Afraid?

There's a four-foot snake right there.

Go to discovery. Com/survivenaked to apply for future challenges.
