Original subtitles

[Fernando] I'm nervous. This is not going to be easy.

I have no illusions of like,

"Oh, yeah, I'm solo. It's going to be great."

[Kaila] On past challenges, I've always had a partner.

So, on this solo challenge,

I'll know without a doubt, if I make it 21 days,

that I did this on my own.

[Cheeny] It's all you out here.

The wins are your win.

The losses are your loss.

[Terra] I need to know that I can do this myself

without anyone's help or guidance.

[Suzanne] Taking on these 21 days by myself,

really am totally going into the unknown now.

But I refuse to let that fear stop me from doing this challenge.

[James] All right, Africa.

Here he comes, whether you're ready or not.

I don't want a stupid mistake to take me out.

Looks like this is my stop.

[Jamie] Going into this challenge is a bit daunting.

Every single task that needs done

is going to be done by myself.

[Shanika] I'm hoping to get through these 21 days and stay alive.

I was born alone, I'm going to die alone.

So, I know I can rock this alone.

Naked, wild and free in Africa.

[vulture screams]

[narrator] They've tested themselves

in the most grueling environments on Earth.

We got fire!

[narrator] And proven the value of teamwork

in overcoming harrowing conditions.

[woman] Oh, my God, I'm so cold.

[narrator] Now, eight of the most battle-tested survivalists

will take on their toughest challenge yet,

as they attempt 21 days with no partner,

[animal shrieks]

[narrator] to each take on a separate location...

Solo.

- Yes! - Badass bitch right now.

That's a honker.

- [Fernando] This is no joke. - [yells] Ah!

[Suzanne] This is the most naked and afraid I've ever felt.

[man] Oh!

Why am I out here?

[Terra] You either get it done...

...or die.

[grunting triumphantly]

All right.

Honey, I'm home.

[Cheeny] My name is Cheeny.

I am a wilderness survival instructor.

And I'm from Maine.

Now, I'm in the challenge.

And it's just me.

Now, it's real.

I'm one of the few women

that have made it through SERE Specialist Training.

SERE Specialist is an expert

in survival, evasion, resistance and escape.

My SERE training really helped me on the last challenge.

[Cheeny] Caught a fish!

I'm the best fisherman ever.

[laughs] Yes!

[Cheeny] Completing my first challenge

was hands-down the best experience of my life.

I can't think of a single thing that I've ever done

that feels as good as day 21.

So, doing a solo challenge,

for me, life is all about experiences.

And I can't think of a better, more intense, awesome human experience.

So, it's probably 50 degrees out right now,

and quite breezy.

So, my main concern out here with the cold is,

I've got a pretty significant cold issue. I've got Raynaud's.

Raynaud's is a circulatory condition that affects your hands and feet.

Basically, your capillaries restrict.

And your hands and feet will kind of turn a weird purple.

You just can't really feel and you lose all dexterity.

Some of these little shrubs are kind of sharp.

But even if there were thorns, I probably would not feel them

because my feet are frozen.

I feel like I'm walking on two ice blocks.

The only thing that I can think of

that would take me out would be the cold.

[narrator] To succeed in this harsh environment during winter,

Cheeny will have to contend with below-freezing temperatures at night

and a constant wind chill that drops the temperature

an additional ten to 15 degrees.

[Cheeny sighs]

Boy, happy to see you.

[narrator] Each survivalist is allowed to bring three items.

A map and a fire-starter are provided.

Got my kukri.

I've got a pot.

Brought my fishing kit again.

Fire starter.

So happy to see this.

Animal skins.

[narrator] And because of the cold conditions in the Karoo desert,

Cheeny is provided pelts as an additional item.

So, just with that wind,

cutting right now, I'm like, "Oh, my God,

I can't wait to wrap myself up in this tonight like a little meat burrito."

Ooh.

All right, let's get out the map.

This looks like a waterfall.

That's where I want to spend three weeks.

So, just looking at trees around me and the position of the sun,

I know that I need to head east. Let's do this.

They say, "don't go chasing waterfalls,"

but I've never been good at following the rules, so.

All right. That way.

So happy I didn't shave my legs.

[narrator] The survivalists each begin

with a Solo Survival Rating, or SSR,

based on their self-reliance,

mental toughness and skills.

Cheeny's SSR begins at a 7.4.

[Cheeny] I'm going to keep following

little game trails down to the water.

All right.

So, I think this is my waterfall.

Holy [bleep]

Look at that [bleep] catfish!

I mean, I could easily just go in there with my kukri and get him.

But...

food is not my priority right now.

Sun's going down. I need to find a shelter, fire, all that good stuff.

And man, now I have something to look forward to.

Oh, my gosh, I'm so excited.

I don't even think I'm going to sleep tonight.

I'm just going to think about that catfish all night.

[Suzanne] I think I see a little bit of sunlight up ahead.

And that might be enough of an opening for me to...

find some trees to make a shelter.

[Suzanne] I'm Suzanne from Virginia.

And this is my fifth time,

I'm doing a Naked and Afraid Challenge.

I've always had partners.

Or at least, I always started with partners.

On a previous challenge,

I had a partner that...

basically, not much more than a lump on a log.

You think you can work on...

...adding to the sides and back to the bowman

while I get firewood?

[Seth] Get me out of here.

[Suzanne] That's a good partner, right there.

[Seth burps]

I'm leaving.

[Seth] You're leaving?

Like, you're leaving the challenge or are you leaving the camp?

I'm leaving you.

It was literally worse than having a toddler with me.

So, I'm looking forward to being by myself.

[narrator] Suzanne has a deep knowledge of primitive survival.

However, her failure to complete her last two challenges

gives her an SSR of 6.9.

[Suzanne] Ah! God, dang it. Oh! Ow, ow.

Stepped into a pile of ants.

Damn.

My first order of business is figuring out how to get off this rotten ground

that obviously has ants on it.

Um, and probably other crawly things.

I need to do that before it's dark.

There's no way I can imagine walking around here in the dark.

I need to have a place at least for tonight.

[narrator] The Guyanese rainforest,

with its dense canopy and swampy terrain,

is one of the Earth's oldest living ecosystems.

Rainstorms lasting weeks are common,

resulting in over 90 inches of rain each year.

But the thousands of bugs that crawl across

the rainforest floor

are an equally formidable threat.

Including the bullet ants, which have a sting so painful,

it feels like being shot by a gun.

[Suzanne] I've been into survival my whole life.

I actually grew up feral

because the household I was in was just very toxic.

And I found comfort out there,

where there is no comfort.

This is part of that I want to work smart, not hard.

I have a general idea of how tall I want it

and I don't want to cut something down and find out it's too short.

So, let me measure.

[Suzanne] In my opinion, if you're going to call yourself a survivalist,

you should be able to survive in whatever environment.

It's a give and take, depending on where you are.

You're supposed to be smart enough to apply your skills wherever you are.

And I'm feeling really good about this challenge.

I'm excited for the unknown.

And I believe in myself

on getting all the way through the challenge.

I need the sun to stay up another four hours or so, maybe five.

That would be handy.

[hyenas squealing]

It's so dense.

And it looks like, lifeless.

You don't see anything.

Eerily quiet.

No real noises.

Very different from my previous challenges.

My name is Fernando.

I'm a firefighter from Simi Valley, California.

As a fire captain,

I definitely am familiar with making decisions under duress.

In the fire service, we are often brought in to very chaotic situations.

Often very dangerous situations.

And we have to make the right decision

or people can die.

There's some parallels to firefighting and survival.

I'm hoping that translates to success out here on this challenge.

I've always done my challenges

in jungles and rainforests around the world.

And this is a very, very different location.

That's a pretty dense...

bush right there, I mean.

Yeah, you can't see very far.

Yeah, oh. Woah, woah, woah.

I almost walked right into that.

Go around that spider.

Don't want to be taken out of the challenge

by a man-eating spider

on day one.

[narrator] The South African savannah is home

to the Earth's most dangerous animals.

Prides of lions roam,

capable of devouring a 700 pound zebra in minutes.

And herds of elephants trample over 500 people a year.

[Fernando] Oh, yeah.

My machete.

Some arrows.

My bow. This is going to be huge, 40 pound draw.

I've been working hard on this.

Getting my skills up on my archery.

All right, looks like there's some water,

out here, on the map, which is going to be critical.

So, that's going to be the goal.

Head down and look for these pools of water.

Okay. Let's go.

[Fernando] I always have people around me

and I kind of get some energy from those people.

Out here, alone, is going to be a whole different story.

Now, can I just rely solely on me?

Because solitude can be a form of torture.

[narrator] Fernando comes in having successfully completed

his three previous challenges, totaling 82 days.

He brings a wealth of survival knowledge,

and begins with an SSR of 8.1.

[Fernando] Even though I've done 82 days surviving naked

in various jungles around the world,

I feel very small and vulnerable,

here in Africa.

Wow.

That's a big hole.

Something did that.

Elephants dig pretty deep holes in these dry riverbeds looking for water.

The good thing about this is, they're doing the work for me.

I'm not going to be trying to dig here because I know it's dry.

The elephants have dug this area up and there's no water coming through, so,

I'm going to use the elephants digging ability

and hopefully, it will give me a heads up where the water is.

This is a good spot.

It's nice and cool in here.

I want to get like, the basic...

part of my shelter set up and done.

So that I'm good for the night.

And then, hopefully get a fire started.

I just want to do something simple, like, maybe just a lean-to.

[Kaila] I'm Kaila. I'm a knife-maker from New Hampshire.

I've done 21 days in Colombia,

40 days in South Africa.

I was supposed to do 60 days in Peru

and tapping out on the last challenge was so hard for me

because that's not me at all.

Just hurts. Everything hurts.

Just can't deal with like, the pain.

I'm just getting eaten alive

by more bugs.

Thank you, En Amazon.

[Kaila] I'm definitely back here doing this solo challenge

trying to redeem myself.

[narrator] Kaila has survived more than 60 days in the wild.

And is an experienced bow-hunter.

[Kaila] Oh, my gosh.

[woman] Naked and Afraid history,

the first two girls to ever get a big kill

- I'm getting a [bleep] - Ever.

[narrator] But her lack of solo experience,

and recent XL Challenge exit,

have shaken her confidence.

She begins with an SSR of 7.3.

[Kaila] Since I am out here by myself,

I don't have anybody to have my back.

So, definitely want a shelter before nightfall

to keep the predators away.

[narrator] The Tanquizul Forest of Mexico

are rich in resources,

but abundant with lethal animals.

The highly venomous fer-de-lance

is responsible for more human fatalities

than any other snake in the western hemisphere.

And the forest's largest predator, the jaguar,

has a bite force that can snap the neck of a crocodile.

[Kaila] Everyone's always like, "You're so bad-ass."

But I don't see myself that way.

So, I think doing this challenge,

hopefully, I can start looking at myself

the way that other people see me.

I'm happy with the progress that I'm making so far.

Fire is so important out here for so many different reasons.

Definitely, my biggest concern is to keep the predators away at night.

This stuff is like, kind of damp and it's so humid out.

So, it's hard to get this started.

It's like, it starts to go

and then it immediately goes out.

Man, I don't get it.

Come on.

[Kaila] I am getting a little discouraged.

If I can't get fire, I'm going to be devastated.

The odds of predators, like jaguars,

or fer-de-lance snakes

coming into the area and kind of creeping around

and seeing what's going on are very real.

I'm pretty [bleep] if I can't get a fire tonight.

[Fernando] My mouth...

is getting really dry.

Water right now, is more valuable to me than gold.

Oh!

There's an elephant right there.

[whispering] Holy crap.

It makes this place so much more real.

We're actually seeing a massive elephant.

I think its drinking water out of one of its holes.

Well, the elephant led me to water.

I'm going to have to be careful.

This might be his water.

You don't want to piss off a big, African elephant.

Jesus.

[Fernando] Jesus.

Oh! A zebra.

That is insane.

Oh, my goodness.

Okay, so,

the elephant has moved off.

I'm going to take a look at this watering hole.

Um...

It's amazing how the elephant was like, this critical role in me finding water.

This looks like it's fed from a spring.

There's no actual creeks or rivers coming into this.

This is coming from the ground up.

This is a huge check mark off my list

of concerns, day one.

And now I want to begin to look for a place to set up camp.

Something that provides some protection around me.

[Kaila] It's like, it starts and then it goes out.

If I can't get fire, I'm going to be devastated.

Everything is so damp.

[Kaila] Tapping out on the last challenge hurt my confidence, you know?

It really messed with my head a lot.

So, my biggest hope doing this solo challenge is just that

I become more confident with myself.

Yay! I got my fire all started.

Super excited.

Fire is so important out here,

and I am just super thankful that I got it started.

Yes! Now, I can move on to...

finishing up my shelter.

- [bird squealing] - I know! I'm excited, too!

- [bird continues squealing] - [Kaila] Yay.

Hey, it's Cheeny.

I'm here in the high desert of South Africa.

Exertion day, it's been a long, cold day.

And my shelter's done.

Now, I've got to collect firewood because the sun is going down.

I probably have an hour left of daylight.

So, I've got to collect as much wood as possible

because it is going to be freezing tonight.

Freezing.

[Suzanne] Almost the end of day one and...

I kind of only barely have something

to lie on.

Um, normally,

I prefer to be on the ground.

But with the number of ants that bit my foot today,

and I really don't feel like having any of those

big spiders crawling over me or any of the snakes or anything,

I have to be up off the ground.

There just isn't any way around it.

I'm hoping that I don't get pummeled by rain

because I have no roof.

And if I think I'm going to be up off the floor tonight,

I probably should get on this now.

In case it doesn't hold me,

I have at least a little bit of light

to try to problem solve something else.

So, here goes nothing.

Okay, so, I'm up on the platform.

See.

And it's not very comfortable.

[animal squawking]

[Fernando] Night one is where this challenge gets real.

Anyone who's done this challenge before knows,

it's all fun and games until the night comes.

[bird squawking]

There is...

so much animal activity happening.

Freaking, like, right there.

There's herds of elephant and there's Cape buffalo everywhere.

- [animals grunting] - [birds cawing]

We're going to see what I've got.

We're going to see if I can stay mentally in this game

because this is the first time I'll be myself,

alone, at night.

There is going to be very little sleep tonight.

[Cheeny] It's frigid.

The front of me is still exposed and...

then that cold air hits me and it's like, "Wow."

So [bleep] cold.

Woah, God dammit.

There will be no sleep.

No sleep at all.

[thunderclap]

Sounds like a storm's coming.

They're everywhere. I mean, everywhere.

One step away from, like, lions and leopards.

[animal screams]

I can legit hear the animals breathing.

I can hear their lung sounds.

[animal growls]

[roaring and squealing]

[Fernando] Oh, boy.

[Suzanne] You know what's sad?

Even though I made a raised platform,

to get away from all the creepy-crawlies on the ground.

I feel raindrops.

And I think I hear heavy rain.

I don't have a roof.

I just hope that it's not some kind of major storm.

Jeez.

Clearly, it's going to rain all night.

And to take matters into my own hands,

and try to grab as many leaves as I can,

to put on top of where I was going to sleep.

And I'm going to go underneath it

because apparently, I should have made a roof tonight

instead of a place to sleep.

At least I feel like I've tried something.

It's got to be better than just having rain come straight through

like I have right now.

I'm going to attempt to fall asleep

in the Guyanese rainforest

while raining.

Alone.

I'm cold and wet.

This is the most naked and afraid I have ever felt.

[Cheeny] It is so cold.

You can see my breath.

The grass is covered in frost.

Frosty grass, frosty brush.

Everything is just...

covered in frost.

I would have been so screwed without these skins.

I burnt through almost all my firewood last night.

I already know that the next 21 days are going to be hard

because I'm going to have to collect a lot of wood.

I have to walk pretty far to get wood.

My feet have been cold.

My last three outer toes have been numb.

That was the coldest part of my body last night, besides my ass.

Or my feet.

I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to make these dang shoes.

I've seen how people just do around and then they do holes

and then they just kind of wrap it around their foot.

And they scrunch it.

So, I'm going to use this wildebeest hide.

I've cut off parts of it that don't really work for the blanket,

like, parts that stick out.

There's one foot.

Using up the hides a little bit more than I would like

but man, I can't really put a price on shoes.

Sewing...

moccasin number two.

My feet have been cold

but I haven't had any of the classic Raynaud's flare-up

signs of them turning white or yellow.

So, what I'm doing here is taking my fish-hook needle

and I'm running it through,

and I'm doing a rolling lock stitch.

That way, if one stitch does get snagged,

all the other stitches won't come undone.

It's taking a long time.

But this hide blocks the wind really well.

And it's a lifesaver.

I got shoes!

You can definitely tell which one was the first one, which one was the second one.

That is a little rougher than this one.

This is so great!

[Fernando] There was so much animal activity last night.

It was insane.

The whole night, it was just snorts and grunts

and different animals and bushes rustling.

It was a long night for me.

So, I found all kinds of new tracks this morning.

The spotted hyena.

You can see it's little dog-like paws

and it's claw marks at the tips there.

So, along with the elephants and the buffalo,

there's also lion and hyena running through here last night.

It's like a full zoo.

I have water set up, I have shelter, I have fire.

I think next step is food.

So, I'm going to head down to the area

where most of the animals have been going

and set up a blind.

And start Operation Fernie, The Bowhunter.

I'm not a bowhunter normally,

but I'm alone. There's no one else to rely on.

I need to go out there and hunt and find things.

[grunts]

I'm looking to put my hunting blind right here.

I'll be in the middle of this mopane tree.

I will cover various sides of it.

And this provides me really good access to various watering holes

to incoming kudu or impala.

The only problem is...

I can see elephants down there.

And there are actually some more elephants

which you probably can't see.

But they're coming down there.

This is like, the 405 Freeway of elephant traffic.

And so, I'm going to be smack dab in the middle of it.

Hopefully, concealed,

and hopefully, waiting for unsuspecting plains animal

to get a drink.

I want to cover my scent.

My scent is my biggest giveaway, I feel like,

to the animals.

So, some elephant dung.

That doesn't feel good.

Oh [bleep]

There's kudu in the riverbed.

It's really far away.

I'm going to try to stalk and shoot it.

[elephant trumpets]

And just like that...

gone.

[Suzanne] Night one was a miserable night.

Worst night ever, for one of my night ones.

The number one thing that I need to do,

is get some kind of roof on the shelter.

Ah!

I hope this is not as frustrating as I fear it will be.

I'm trying to make a fire,

so I can stay warm, but everything is wet.

All my other environments to make fire were nice and dry.

This is a difficult environment for me.

It is my mission to get a fire.

I'm going to try to find a termite nest.

People say that termite nests will light on fire whether they're wet or dry.

And here's a big one.

So, I'm going to just take a chunk of it.

Because I'm going to have to take whatever resources I can and get fire.

In Ecuador, Wes and I couldn't get a fire and...

he never did get a fire.

[Suzanne] But we figured out how to get warm and how to sleep.

But out here, I am alone.

So discouraging.

Okay, no fire.

This termite nest, not working.

I need something different.

Look at this tree first.

This might be what I want.

I'm going to go make a fishing spear.

This guy right here.

Yes.

I love this thing.

Yeah!

Perfect.

So, now, I'm going to take my fish spear

and I'm going to wedge it in the tree behind me,

so it stays put.

Then we're going to split this four ways.

Try to make a prong.

Again, nice and easy. I don't want this to split.

Caruzilla is a monster catfish.

I cannot wait until I can get back there

and fish him out.

[Cheeny] Holy [bleep]

Look at that [bleep] catfish.

Man, now I have something to look forward to.

Oh, my gosh, I am so excited.

Now, to fire-harden it.

That's just going to make the wood a little more dense.

My fish spear has been fire-hardened.

And I think it's ready to go.

So, I think I'm going to go for a little walk.

And I'm going to go see if I can find my good friend, Caruzilla.

I'm coming for you.

I came down here the other day.

He was in there.

He was right here.

I don't see anything in here.

Nothing in there.

Oh, there he is.

Bluezilla.

The fight is on.

No!

[bleep]

He slipped out of my hand but his head was...

[grunts]

Oh! Ha. [bleep]

[Cheeny] Oh, there he is.

[bleep] It's a game now.

No!

Yes! Haha!

I can't believe I just caught this!

[grunts triumphantly]

I am the queen of Africa.

They say you should always kiss your fish.

It's good luck.

Sorry, buddy.

Wow, this fish is so big.

I do wish I had somebody to share it with, though.

One, two, three, see you.

And that's how it's done.

Man, my day just took a 180.

I can't even fathom this fish, right now.

Like, I don't even know what to do with it. It's so big.

Today is going way better than I planned it to go.

I mean, talk about a roller coaster.

Africa is just a roller coaster.

I couldn't be happier.

You put up a good fight, though.

So, I feel like I earned that fish a little bit.

[Suzanne] Day three.

And it actually feels like day 23.

Only because of how I'm physically feeling today.

I am going to attribute it to poor sleep.

It is not an easy thing, to sleep on logs.

And not having warmth makes a difference.

I'm waking up every 20 minutes or so, shivering.

I'm going to try to find a dead tree that is still standing.

Chop into the center of it,

and I should be able to find some drier wood there.

I have a chunk of termite but it's not catching.

That's not what I need.

Might be getting there.

All right, let's get this fire started.

So, the magnesium burned up.

It did not help catch anything on fire.

This stuff is as dry as it can possibly be.

I got everything from the inner shavings

of a dead tree that was standing upright.

I have a little chunk of termite in here.

I even have chunks of my fire starter...

candle in here.

With some magnesium.

That was quick.

I'm trying to think if there is anything that I can do right now

to be in a different place today.

I'm using all of my normal fire-making skills

along with everything I know you're supposed to do in a wet environment,

and I am not having success.

[Cheeny] Pretty good day.

I've got Caruzilla.

Monster catfish.

I have the water boiling.

Sun's going down. Everything is perfect.

Catfish has to be done by now.

The skin is, like, once the air hits it and it cools,

it gets pretty gelatinous.

Which is good because that's the collagen.

Collagen is very, very good for you.

Kind of tastes like fishy egg whites.

My plan is to take the meatiest pieces off him,

and try to slice those thin

so, I can smoke them to preserve them for later.

And then I'm going to use some of the smaller chunks

that aren't really sufficient for smoking,

and I'm going to boil that to make a fish soup.

Yeah, today was actually really good.

I'm quite happy with it and...

now I've got the night ahead of me.

And I hope tonight is not as bad as last night.

I'm hoping to get a little more sleep.

And be a little warmer.

Only one way to find out.

[Suzanne] It has rained a couple of times today.

[thunder rumbling]

Please, please, please. No, no, no.

I don't want to get wet.

[thunder rumbling]

This is better than it was.

Worked hard to get my shelter in a place

where I could make it through the rains.

And I can't stop it.

And I am really feeling traumatized.

I can't even tell if I'm taping this correctly

because I can't even see the lens.

This is going to be a really long, cold night.

Okay. I think it's go time.

Oh.

I think I have to go poop.

Yeah. I should definitely try now, before I go out there.

It's like shopping. It's like a rock shopping center.

The sales associate is like, "Hey, how can I help you?"

"Hey, I'm looking for a rock."

"Okay. What are your needs for the rock?"

"Well..."

A small egg-shaped rock is actually the best thing

to use to wipe your butt after you poop.

Rocks, we take them for granted, but man,

they're a valuable tool.

Everyone thinks leaf.

You don't want leaf.

Leaf is like, slick on slick.

Small, egg-shaped rock is like,

rough traction on slick.

Way better wiping.

This is a good rock.

Sorry. That was weird.

[Suzanne] Morning of day four.

And last night was miserable.

It was bad.

I will never forget that.

The canopy doesn't hold a heavy rain.

And so, I got wet...

again, last night.

And I couldn't sleep.

If I had a fire, it would have been put out last night.

And I can't even think of how to make the roof any better

with the materials that I have at hand.

Out here, it's not fear of the jaguar coming to get me

but the sound of rain...

coming this direction is terrifying.

I'm like, to the point where I'm petrified of night.

I cannot take 17 more nights like this.

If I have one more night like this,

I don't know what I would do.

Suzanne, to producer.

[producer] Hey, go ahead, Suzanne.

Could you please come to my camp?

- Hey. - [producer] What's going on?

So, um,

after night one, I worked hard to get a roof

and make sure that I was going to be protected from the rains.

But it didn't work.

It didn't work against the heavy rains that we had last night.

And it was so bad

that I found myself crying in the middle of the night.

And...

I can't remember a time where I've ever felt like that.

That bad.

And I cannot imagine going through another night like that.

You know, you don't feel as though

you could safely do another night out here,

you know, what would you like to do?

Right this minute, because it's not raining,

I'm like, "Okay, yeah, I got this."

And then, when I start thinking about nightfall,

and being in pitch black,

with the rains and the not knowing when it's going to end,

like, I can't do that.

So, I need to stop.

Do you want us to get you out of here?

I do. I need to leave.

I don't feel like I made any major...

mistakes as far as survival itself.

But in this environment where I'm totally wet,

freezing and I can't get comfortable,

I mean, I can't remember the last time I was hurting this bad.

Ow.

[Suzanne] I don't think you can accurately describe how hot this is...

[woman] How scorched this earth is.

Oh, my God!

[Suzanne] Honestly, I thought that I would be so much better on my own.

But being alone,

this is just a different level of survival.

Just the thought of having another night like last night,

it brings me to tears.

Feeling traumatized.

[motorboat revving]

[narrator] After only four days in the Guyanese rainforest,

Suzanne's departure leaves her with an SSR of 6.1.

[Suzanne] This is my fifth challenge.

But it's the first time that I've been this naked and afraid.

I can't. I just can't do it anymore.

[Kaila] Get out of here!

- Get out of here! - [animal screeches]

[Shanika] This is definitely not what I envisioned.

[Kaila] I've never been alone in any of my challenges.

[Jamie] Oh...

God dammit.

[Fernando] Having a partner would make things easier.

Ouch!

[grunts]

[thunderclap]

I'm in disbelief. I can't believe it.

[Shanika] Oh, I was not expecting that.

[laughs]

Scorpion on a stick.

[Fernando] Bigger than the last one.

I'll take that.

[Jamie] I see a spider monkey.

[imitating monkey cries]

[Jamie] I can only imagine this is the first naked person it's seen.

And it's looking down thinking,

"What the hell is that?"

[Fernando] I am definitely feeling the pressure right now.

[Kaila] Being alone makes it ten times worse.

- I just want to go home. - [Fernando] I've had enough of this.

I'm done.

[Terra] It's a 21 day marathon.

I've got to go figure it out myself.

Let the wild rumpus start.
