Original subtitles

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Animal grunting ]

Do you hear the rustling?

Something's peeing on us from the trees.

And we're not gonna have this in the jungle.

- No. - We're gonna take charge.

Always feels good to scratch your back

and use the bathroom at the same time.

[Bleep]

That's what was touching my face.

I thought I had a toad.

I have worms.

Narrator: "Naked and Afraid" has dropped survivalists

into some of the most severe locations on earth,

places where mother nature fights back.

These men and women face the most brutal

survival challenge ever...

they must survive for 21 days naked,

sourcing their own food and water.

Now, with exclusive, unseen footage

and new interviews,

eight pairs of survivalists

reveal their most vulnerable moments

as they look back at the experience of a lifetime.

- Yeah! - Yes!

- Yes! - Go beyond the cameras

as "Naked and Afraid" bares all.

The survivalists travel to some beautiful,

pristine ecosystems all over the world...

And some of the most dangerous.

[ Groans ]

Narrator: Being at the mercy of mother nature is scary,

nerve-racking, and sometimes thrilling,

often all at once.

My first impression of Belize was the canopy.

That was... that was very overwhelming.

And the sounds...

[ Insects chirping, monkeys grunting ]

Sounds I've never heard before, so it took me back a little bit.

It... that's when it really got real for me.

I prepared myself for the jungle of Belize with Google.

I've never been to the jungle before.

My challenge took place off of Panama,

on a really small island in the middle of the jungle.

So the trees were incredibly tall.

And it cut off the sun.

My first impression of the jungle

is that it's really thick and vegetated and lush.

At first, the Panama jungle was really intimidating.

I found out yesterday

that there are killer bees in the area

and so much so that some

of the production camera crew were stung,

so that's really concerning to me.

So we're on a scout.

We've been told there's some beehives around here.

So we have to be quiet.

Apparently, there's some... -oh. Bees! Bees!

Man: Ow! Oh!

Get off me! Bees!

Ow! Oh!

Get off me!

Oh, my God.

[ Retching ]

[ Coughing ]

Man #2: What we're doing now is taking out

the remainder of the stings.

So David, like me, has a lot of hair.

And we're trying to get some of those last little stingers out.

That kind of says it all right there.

That's n... that Nicky's first show?

Um, my... I don't know.

And I don't think it's ever been this bad for...

for any crew.

Okay. You ready? Relax.

Albert: I feel like [Bleep] feel bad.

Now, it feels like, uh, it's getting harder...

harder to talk right now.

My speech is getting s... slurred.

Uh, do I need to talk to the medic about that, maybe?

Jungles of Belize, man.

Doesn't get any better than this.

On our way into insertion,

I got nailed with branches on the way in. Um...

Ah. That was a nice one.

I was just really nervous.

And having all the branches fall on me,

I was thinking, "that's a snake.

That's a spider. That's a snake.

That's a spider."

I feel comfortable here, surprisingly enough.

Um...

I think I would have been a bit disappointed

if I didn't get whacked in the head a couple times

with some branches on a ride like that.

I dig it.

Narrator: Getting challengers into their survival locations

can be tricky,

as Cassidy discovered when she make landfall

on the island of West Nalaut in the Philippines.

[ Man speaking indistinctly ]

That is serious.

When we first got out to the island,

the surf got big.

At one point, thought we were gonna, like...

the whole boat, you know, was gonna turn over.

And the producer, Constantine,

was trying to work with the captain.

And there was some language barriers.

We don't want to go there.

[ Speaking native language ]

He's got us running parallel with the waves.

I can't explain it.

And we cannot be parallel with the waves.

[Bleep] [Bleep]

Was just hanging on for dear life.

Like, the boat was flipping around.

The camera guys were going on one side.

I'm going to the other. And I'm like,

"how are we gonna get onto land?"

Think it'll be a fun swim to shore.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

And we're looking at each other like,

"I hope we can get to the island."

- All right. - Okay, okay, okay, okay.

It's hard to articulate how I'm feeling right now, really.

Ah, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Whoo!

I'm pretty stoked, you know,

being... being able to represent the country.

I was, you know, from Louisiana.

Feels good.

Here we go.

Thailand...

Let's see what you got.

Narrator: Getting naked in front of strangers

is one of the first obstacles the survivalists must overcome.

And, for some, this can be extremely uncomfortable.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Annie: So the moment when it came down

to taking the clothes off, it was extremely hard.

I'm just forewarning you guys, like, my stomach is like, eh.

So if I throw up on anybody, it's not my fault.

I did not think it was gonna be a big deal.

But it took me, I don't know.

It felt like forever.

I was nauseous, and it took me a lot of, uh,

calming myself and re-evaluating everything

to finally get to the point where I could hold my breath

long enough to disrobe.

I think I should have practiced being naked around new people.

All right. All those lucky animals out there, or unlucky,

they get to see me naked for 21 days.

Here we go.

Okay. All right.

All right. Well, let's do it.

I got to tell you, when I met my partner,

very awkward, so uncomfortable.

I was just looking in her eyes.

And she looked like a scared, little puppy dog.

When we were going to introduce ourselves, I s...

I think she was so focused on, "oh, my gosh!

What do I say? I'm right here.

I'm meeting Trent."

Do you go skinny-dipping here often?

- No. - Oh. Me either.

- Whew. - Oh. Watch your step.

She just... she slipped.

And I think that made her even more nervous.

My heart is racing.

And she introduced herself.

And we headed up the hill.

And she was just awesome after that.

Narrator: Awkward body language,

lack of eye contact, the feeling of being watched,

these are some of the things our challengers experience

when meeting each other for the first time.

Oh, my gosh.

Taking my clothes off for the first time

was, like, the most horrible thing ever.

It was pretty embarrassing.

And remember, don't get between the hippo and the water.

Got it.

- Okay. - Let's do it.

Clothes off. Game on.

I think my biggest concern was I was fixing

to strip it all off and get naked on TV.

I think that's probably my biggest concern.

Oh, man. Just... I mean, how many people

actually just meet in the nude like this?

So, you know, we're walking up.

You know, you just... - Hey!

...make eye contact.

You know, you try not to look anywhere else, just keep...

keep a look in her eye

and just... just go with it.

Uh, hello there.

I was walking towards her.

She was pretty. You know, she seemed nice.

And it was like we'd known each other for years.

- I'm Karen. - Matt.

- Hi, Matt. Good to see you. - Nice to meet you.

- Good. - It's finally arrived.

- Yeah. Really. - I can't believe we're here.

Taking off my clothes was not an issue at all.

However, meeting my partner was a different, you know,

sort of feeling. - [ Belches ]

He was not shy around me at all.

As far as casual sharing of bodily functions,

he let it roll, for sure.

Good to go?

Always feels good to scratch your back

and use the bathroom at the same time.

Matt: You know, I just let everything hang out.

You know, n... nothing bothered me.

I just, you know, you know, was myself.

[ Hocks ]

I was out in the jungle. It's not like I had to be quiet

or, you know, have manners, you know.

It was just me and her.

[ Belches ]

That's a big one.

That's Matt. And I love him so much for that.

[ Man laughs ] Excuse me.

[Bleep]

That's what was touching my face.

I thought I had a toad.

I have worms.

Okay.

Oh, oh, oh. Ah!

- Are you okay? - Ow, my hand. Ow, my hand.

- What you got? - Red ants.

Ah. These are biting.

Ah, [bleep] These things.

Turn around.

Where did they come from?

I don't know. Oh, right above you.

Yep.

I don't want to bump that.

Oh, on the inside of your leg.

Inside? Hold on. Keep it off my junk.

[ Laughs ]

Narrator: Biting insects, large or small,

will typically feast on whatever meat they can find.

And the exposed flesh of "Naked and Afraid" survivalists

often makes a tasty meal.

Whew, that burns.

Ow. Son of a...

right on my nuts.

They were everywhere. I counted 40 ticks on my junk.

Oh, [bleep]

What was that?

Really? - Yeah.

It was very invasive.

I feel violated.

Ew. Ugh.

Hobbs: Uh, on our first night,

I felt something kind of big hit me in the side of the face.

So I grabbed the little handheld camera.

And I turned on the night vision.

And it was a 3-inch cockroach.

Humongous cockroaches.

That's what was touching my face.

I thought I had a toad... - Oh, my gosh.

...crawling. That thing is bigger than my thumb.

And there were dozens of them

all over the inside of the shelter.

We had no idea that there were so many cockroaches around us.

I think there must have been a nest right next to our shelter

because they would crawl up into our shelter.

Ah, [bleep]

Hobbs: Okay. So it's the morning of day 15.

And the chitras are out in full force again.

There were these biting gnats called chitras.

And they came out of nowhere.

And they were ferocious.

And my partner is over here, having another...

another terrible reaction

to these little biting [bleep] heads,

just having an absolutely miserable time.

The chitras were deadly, in my opinion.

For some reason, they like me more than my partner.

Um, they b... they bit me everywhere I can imagine.

Hobbs: She was hurting in a bad, bad way

because of those little [bleep]

Tara's feet started to swell up.

And she started to get cracks in between her toes

and have this yellow, creamy pus ooze

out between her toes.

Tara: I felt like my whole body was on fire.

And all the bug bites underneath my skin,

some of 'em feel like there's little marbles underneath there.

They're, like, a hard, white, pus-y, little marble.

I don't know. It feels like pins and needles

crawling up and down my body.

It was miserable.

I learned really quickly that I needed to mud my body.

This is all nice and warm

from the coconut husk being in the fire.

It feels really good.

Yeah? Ooh. It is kinda warm.

The ash helped me a lot.

After the ash would dry on my body,

it would make this white, chalky substance.

[ Sneezes ] Excuse...

excuse me.

I was right. The stuff just went all over.

And I looked like a cross

between a white powdered-sugar doughnut

and Gollum from "Lord of the Rings."

Kim: I'm getting eaten alive by bugs.

They're, like, worse then they've ever been, I swear.

One of my biggest challenges being out there

were the chitras.

Ugh. These chitras are driving me nuts today.

The little no-see-um bugs, they are very painful.

They're relentless.

Ah, stop! Oh, man.

Nature is a bitch.

I would put a lot of mud on me.

I would put ash and water.

That would help with keeping the bugs away from me.

But there was one night

I didn't have time to go down to the water

to get ready for the bugs.

So what I'm doing is I'm standing there,

and I'm catching my pee, and I'm putting it on me.

And then, I grab ash.

And I use ash to keep it on my body.

I peed on myself.

And I used the liquid with the soot of the fire

and rubbed it all over me.

I have pee on my face.

But that's okay 'cause I'm out in the [bleep] wild.

I can do whatever I want.

Narrator: There is no beauty salon

or indoor plumbing available

to the "Naked and Afraid" survivalists.

These men and women must find ways

to stay clean the way

our ancestors did thousands of years ago.

And it's not easy.

And, uh, I ever tell... tell...

know one thing for a fact?

It could never rain hard enough on earth

to wash away my musk.

My musk is water-resistant at this point.

Nice. Nice.

Well, that's something to be proud of.

Uh-huh.

I would have bugs crawl up and, uh,

and just kind of keel over

as they would try to get near me.

I had a fire ant come on me today and puke.

Lovely.

That's how good my musk is.

Oh, crap.

[Bleep]

First protein.

Trent: This tarantula, I put it on the fire.

And I roast it.

The meat looks like lobster meat.

That's really good.

I'm eating the meat off the back of the tarantula

with my front teeth, obviously. And I swallow.

And I can feel it all over in my teeth.

I've got gaps in my teeth.

I kind of turn it. And I can see its face.

And there's these two big fangs coming right out of it.

Oh, but I saw this on TV once.

I always wanted to try it.

They had massive tarantulas.

And they would take the fangs

and clean their teeth when they're done.

Works good.

I've always wanted to do that.

Seriously the best toothpick I've ever had.

It was the perfect length, the perfect tip.

And I was able to pick all that tarantula meat

out of my teeth with it.

And all we really need to remove is their inside, their innards.

Look at all these worms inside of it.

Once everything's all cooked, nothings gonna hurt us.

[ Monkey grunting ]

[ Animal roars ]

Ah! Get out of here!

I wonder if this is just a hippo trail.

Oh, [bleep] Watch out.

What'd you see?

Think we're just gonna get the hell out of this area.

Narrator: Of all the adventures

that the "Naked and Afraid" survivalists experience,

it's their encounters with the wild animals

that they often remember most.

[ Animal grunting ]

It was scary because you could physically see

the hippos at night.

There's a hippo in our camp.

She's a rock star.

That girl's got it.

And then the crazy night that I was actually sleeping

and she crawled out there on her hands and knees trying

to get a video of the hippos,

which I didn't know till the next morning.

I look at her, going, "are you serious?"

I think a hippo heard us. And I think we heard it.

Every night on that beach, you would start hearing

this squealing noise.

[ Rustling ]

And it was just rats.

Oh. Crap.

We was knocking 'em off our hair.

They'd run up your arm or your leg

while you're sleeping at night.

Oh, they're coming for us. I hear the rats.

Yep.

Well, good night.

Yeah. I hope you sleep well. We're not.

Narrator: Often, it's not the visible threat

that frightens the survivalists.

It's those unseen creatures that go bump in the night.

In the Maya jungle, Trent was terrified

by something unknown lurking in the darkness.

Trent: The sunsets were beautiful.

The... the nights were the worst in Belize.

The jungle would come alive.

And I remember, one night, I'm laying there.

And I hear something walking in the jungle.

I can hear it just tracking back and forth.

And I'm thinking, "this thing's stalking me."

And it gets closer and closer.

Oh, my gosh.

And I'm sitting there, going, "holy crap.

I've... this... this is a scary situation."

[ Animal roars ]

Ah! Get out of here!

Oh, my God. What the crap?

Get out! Ah!

And I was so scared.

And I'm like, "I can't be up here."

And I actually radioed for the crew.

I've never wanted somebody here so fast.

Thank you. Thank you.

There's only been one time in my life

I've been as scared as I was.

And that's when I was 12 years old.

A bigfoot laid on me.

Very scary.

Narrator: Animals are often most active at night.

It can be extremely unsettling.

In Belize, the howler monkeys interacted with Kacie and Aaron

in a very uncivilized way... by peeing on them.

[ Monkey grunting ]

We, uh, we m... we made a couple jungle...

jungle friends out there.

Uh, we had a monkey that'd visit us every night.

And we named him monkey.

[Bleep] Monkey. Or, well, actually, we named him

listen.

[ Water dropping ]

Something's peeing on us from the trees.

It's like this... dip your hand in a cup of water

and throw it on someone.

Flick it at 'em. Yeah. Exactly.

That's what it's like.

So do you think a monkey is peeing on its hand

and then flicking it on us?

We're not gonna have this in the jungle.

- No. - We're gonna take charge.

We need a pee-free roof system.

So we're building a new roof.

Yep.

So, yeah, on a regular basis,

monkey would roost in the tree above us at night.

And he would pee.

[Bleep] Monkey.

Um, well, I'll never forget monkey.

That's for sure.

Narrator: When the human body gets hungry enough,

it will find ways to let you know

it's time to eat something

and, depending on how hungry you are, someone.

Kim and I have decided, in the morning,

we're going to kill one of the crew...

Kim: Oh, God.

...and eat them.

Narrator: Throughout history, hunger pangs

have driven humans to eat some less-than-desirable foods.

This was the case for Cassidy and Jeremy

on the island of West Nalaut in the Philippines.

It's your lucky day.

It's your lucky day.

Oh, thank you.

Man, I was, like, ready to blow dust out my mouth.

Jeremy: Looking for water become a priority

right from the get-go.

And the first thing we found to drink was these coconuts.

Oh, man. I can't stand a coconut.

We'd pop the top off a coconut.

We made a little bamboo straw, inserted it.

I know my first response in it...

I hurled my guts up at the taste of that thing.

I tell ya, I can't stand coconuts.

And I hate 'em even more now.

It was just nasty.

I really hope Jeremy likes sea cucumber.

We'll see his reaction shortly.

Um, this is what's on the menu tonight.

When you're hungry enough, you will eat anything.

Or at least I guess I did.

Ew. It's like something hanging out.

Hey. It... ew! You got it on me! Gross!

Hey, he sucked it back up.

Ew.

Yeah. This oughta be fun right here.

We've ate everything else.

I brought it back to Jeremy.

And I was like, "listen, Jeremy.

In some countries,

a sea cucumber is actually a delicacy."

He's all, "Cassie, a sea cucumber is French

for, 'it tastes like [bleep].'" So...

You know, normally, I wouldn't put

a sea cucumber in my mouth.

It kinda looks like a [bleep]

This is nasty.

Biting into this just huge rubber thing...

Man, it was nasty.

We don't like sea cucumber. Tastes like rubber.

Yep.

Kacie: What we ate all the time was the cahoon nuts.

Every day, all day, I ate nuts.

Oh. It's rotten. But there's maggots in it.

I may or may not have eaten a maggot.

Oh. There's a lot of 'em.

I don't have to catch a maggot.

They're just laying there.

They're just sitting inside the nuts.

They're sitting in a rock.

When you find food, if there's any opportunity

that you can eat it, you just... you eat it.

Yeah. I don't want to ever eat another one again.

Good day.

You're not a big lizard fan. I know.

But you're gonna eat this.

And, uh, that's the bottom line.

All right.

All we really need to remove on these little guys

is their inside, their innards.

I heard Matt say, "oh." I was like, "what?"

And he's like, "well, this has worms."

Look at all these worms inside of it.

Once everything's all cooked, nothing's gonna hurt us.

When I first got out there, I was like,

"I know I'm gonna have to eat meat."

But I didn't want to eat any of the meat.

Matt: The facial expression that she made,

it was absolutely priceless.

She was essentially horrified of eating these lizards

but knew she had to eat these lizards.

Lindsay: Eating a lizard with worms isn't my...

my favorite thing to do.

So we just make sure that that lizard

was cooked extra well, crispy.

Matt: Uh, I never thought I'd be eating a skunk.

But when you're out here and you have nothing else to eat

and you need protein, well, that's what you get.

Okay. - And it's pretty...

There you go.

And I'm gonna take that half of my potato.

My skin was so dry.

And after eating that skunk,

my hands were so full of this awesome skunk oil

that I just rubbed it all,

like, all over my face.

And I just, like, padded it in.

It was so amazing.

Matt's gonna give me a, um, skunk,

um, grease facial for my moisturizer.

It didn't smell like skunk per se.

And my skin just sucked it in, like, immediately.

It was like the best facial I've ever had.

So I guess I'm a what?

A skunk massage therapist?

Yeah, a massage therapist.

Narrator: "Naked and Afraid" continues to bare all.

Did you see that?

- Holy cow. - The river down there is flooded.

Bridge is gone.

Oh, my God. I have worms.

This is a team effort, 24/7.

Right here is the big kick in the ass.

Narrator: The "Naked and Afraid" challenge

is sort of like a forced marriage.

You have no control over who you are partnered with.

And like any marriage, there are times

when the survivalists don't see eye to eye.

This was the case for Tara and Hobbs in Panama.

Feeling like today's gonna be a pretty lazy day,

something that I... I think we both need.

Tara: Hobbs and I definitely do not see eye to eye

when it comes to survival.

We had a chat this morning about what to do today.

And he thinks we should just completely take it easy.

My feelings on survival is being proactive.

And Hobbs just kind of laid back and napped a lot.

I was more along the lines of, "let's do nothing."

Tara: I was disappointed to the point

where I just got really emotional.

He doesn't try to do things.

He might for, like, 10 or 15 minutes.

And that's it. And he gives up.

He's so incredibly lazy.

After my emotional breakdown,

I approached Hobbs on what I was feeling.

I feel like I'm doing a lot more than you are.

Yeah. Sorry to have to put you through that.

When I went out there, I... I went out a little bit cockier

than I probably should have.

I thought that I was gonna just,

you know, make a cakewalk of this entire thing.

And, uh, it was, uh, uh, uh, a very humbling experience.

The food was scarce.

The river didn't really provide a whole lot

except for water and a ...and a few little shrimp.

Caught one.

Whoa!

Did you see that?

I was unaware that shrimp are capable of...

of jumping a considerable amount.

Oh.

This is gonna be harder than I thought.

And then, in addition to that, I was hungry.

I was itchy. I was tired.

I was bored to tears.

For the most part, I was like, "why even...

why even put forth the effort?"

This is a team effort, 24/7.

I do realize that, the past couple of days,

I've just been exhausted.

And rather than fighting through it,

I've just been succumbing to it.

And right here is the big kick in the ass.

The boredom and the bad mood and...

and the bad attitude got to me.

And I just didn't really

feel motivated to do much of anything.

And I did act like a [bleep] head.

And, you know, I'm a big enough person

to... to say that I screwed up on that.

I... I mean, ow. That hurts.

- Oh, yeah. - Yeah. It just lit my foot up.

He just stepped on a thornbush.

And he's got a...

narrator: Sometimes, no matter how prepared

the survivalists think they are, things can still go wrong.

The unexpected is always expected.

It's all a part of survival.

And sometimes, nature attacks from the inside out.

Hi. How are you?

Oh, good. Uh, me?

Not so good.

"Why?" do you ask.

I have worms.

I got worms.

I think it was from not cooking my food very well.

And it was really weird 'cause I could feel, like,

something squirming in me, and I knew that it wasn't right,

kind of like little twitches in your stomach.

And I knew that was different.

And then, I went to go use the bathroom.

And I looked.

And I could see little worms coming out.

And it was really scary.

I just, like, was looking.

And I was like, "wow. Flies have babies really fast."

And then, I realized it was coming out of my [bleep]

And I was like, "oh, my God. I have worms."

I'm gonna be okay 'cause I'm a [bleep] warrior.

Narrator: There is no reasoning with mother nature.

If she decides to bring a storm,

the survivalists have no choice but to wait it out.

Thailand jungle and mother nature,

[bleep] You.

It rained like I've never seen rain

before in my life in Thailand.

It was cold,

so we were just hunkering in our shelter

to try to wait out the storm.

We might as well just suck it up and...

- Yep. - ...Deal with it.

Yep. We're gonna embrace the suck.

Lindsay and I were absolutely stuck

in the shelter day after day.

It was some long days.

It's still raining.

Ugh.

We were about to lose it mentally.

Lindsay: Holy cow.

River down there is flooded. Bridge is gone.

It's just constant, constant water.

Yep. It's still raining like hell.

Do you think we'll ever have a day with no rain at all?

Probably not.

Probably.

I'm gonna start singing a rain song.

Laying on a bamboo bed

in the jungles

we're just stuck in this shelter with nothing to do.

So I realize I've gotta provide some sort of comic relief.

We're on a bamboo bed

in the jungles of Thailand

come on. Sing along. You know the words.

So there's nothing to do

but stay under here

and try to keep ourselves from dying

I'm gonna kill you.

In the Thailand jungle

it seemed to be driving her nuts

and entertaining her at the same time.

So I just kept on singing.

Are you done?

I... I think I just got started.

I feel like I'm in the zone. - No.

I think Lindsay's starting to like my music

because there's nothing else we can do

[ vocalizing ]

Day 21, whoo! Yeah.

- Whoo! - Oh, let's get there.

Whoo!

[ All screaming ]

So, yeah. That would be my family.

He's getting a kilt.

I did not go on "Naked and Afraid" to be naked.

You're gonna be the most stylish man

in the jungle, Aaron.

We found material in the ground.

And I made Aaron a very fashionable jungle man-kini.

Here, we have Aaron modeling our jungle line.

Please turn, Aaron. Okay.

As you can see, the sides are very thin.

So he can move very easily.

As you can see, we have full coverage in the back,

easy to slide.

It even shakes if you want it to shake.

They're, like, glorified panties.

I like... hey. Whoa.

Um, male skirt.

- Undergarment. - Male garment.

Jungle undergarment.

- Boxers. - Yes.

It was a loincloth, not a man-kini.

I don't know if we were supposed to be having this much fun.

Jungle wear by Kacie.

Narrator: After enduring 21 days

of battling hunger, harsh terrain,

and constant fatigue,

the survivalists must now face the toughest part

of their adventure ...extraction.

Day 21, whoo! Yeah.

I'm so [bleep] pumped it's stupid.

Day 21 felt like the last stretch

of the experience.

It was just like, "oh, my God.

Thank you. My nightmare is almost over."

- Ready? - Yep.

Headed home!

You know, we had to find a way off the island.

And, uh, that was gonna be floating through the swamp.

And while it's one thing to build a raft to float out on,

it's another thing to build a raft

that looks totally awesome.

We had that smoky skull

that looked Gothic from the fire on the front.

We had palm leaves in the back of it.

Looks like a Las Vegas float.

We had a flag that Andrea made herself.

It was built from the swamp.

And we returned it back to the swamp.

And I hope it's still floating there

because that was one kick-ass raft.

That sounds like the ocean to me.

Whoo!

Extraction day was ...was pretty exciting.

We crested this hill.

And there's the pacific ocean.

I mean, it was like night and day.

White-sand beach, uh, and it...

it's like you just went from hell to paradise.

- Whoo! - Come on. Let's get there.

And it's the most beautiful sight in the world,

the most triumphant moment.

The extraction was absolutely brutal.

It was the hardest thing that...

that I think I've actually ever done in my life.

Don't you stop when you get here.

My body had nothing to give.

And Matt literally pulled me through this extraction.

I hear it.

Let's go. Come on. - All right.

Don't stop.

Um, it was just, you know,

almost tears of joy came to my face.

It was just... you know, the best part

of it was getting on that truck, getting out of there.

Karen: For me, as the oldest woman survivor

of "Naked and Afraid," everything in life

is in such a different perspective now.

It was just an amazing experience.

Narrator: From first showers to first real meals,

getting to experience life's simple pleasures again

is always a thrill.

I'm looking at myself in the mirror

for the first time.

And I am so dirty.

My first shower was really,

really nice to actually feel soap on my body

and to see all this dirt leaving.

And it felt really good.

I only washed my hair once.

I'm gonna do it again.

Whoo! I love taking showers!

So we're eating lunch here the day we fly out,

back to our homes.

We have a Greek pizza. What do you have, Hobbs?

It's called a beef arepa.

It's got guacamole on the bottom.

Hobbs: First thing I did when I got my clothes

back on was I just

stuffed my face full of food for the first time in 21 days.

It... it was really good and ...and surprisingly tasty.

Narrator: But the greatest reward

for most of the survivalists

is reuniting with family and friends.

[ All screaming ]

So, yeah. That would be my family.

Hey.

The hardest thing for me in this challenge

was leaving the people that I love the most.

And came down an escalator.

And there was, like, an entourage

of every single person that I love the most.

See? This is where I get it.

That's why I cry.

And coming home to the people

that love me the most and support me no matter

what would've happened out there,

it was just like icing on the cake.

Best... best experience of my whole life.

Aaron: I walked down that ramp and saw my son.

And, uh...

I got to hear him say, "papa."

Made it all worth it.

High five.

And he's the number-one reason I did it.

So yeah.

It was... it was incredible.

Narrator: Matt's return home from Thailand

took his relationship to the next level.

Matt: So as soon as I got home,

I was planning to do this epic proposal.

So what I did is I set up...

I set up this beautiful white canvas tent

up on a mountainside just out of Denver area here.

And on my laptop,

I have a little bit of the footage.

And I sit there, open up the laptop.

And I'm like, "hey." And so we got

a little sneak peek of the jungle footage.

Brook, I've seen a lot

of incredible places in the world.

I don't want to see any more of these incredible places

without the most beautiful girl.

Brook, I would like to ask you to make me the luckiest man

in the world.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Aww.

And... she said, "yes."

Narrator: Ultimately, the "Naked and Afraid" survivalists

learned that the experience,

intense, brutal, and life-changing,

may have found them at their must vulnerable.

But in the end, nature will always be fighting.

So to survive, you have to fight back.

Coconuts.

I don't want to see no more coconuts.

No more coconut jokes.

And don't mail me none. Thank you.
