Woman: HURRICANE IRMA HAS MADE LANDFALL.

Man: ALL RESIDENTS OF CENTRAL FLORIDA ARE ADVISED TO SEEK COVER.

Duke: THESE WINDS ARE PICKING UP.

IT'S STILL COMING DOWN SUPER HARD.

I DON'T LIKE YOU OUT THERE. IT'S SCARING ME.

IT'S SO CRAZY.

WHAT THE HELL.

Narrator: ONE MAN...

ONE WOMAN...

WHOO!

Narrator: ...ALONE FOR 21 DAYS

TO FACE THE WRATH...

Woman: STOP RAINING!

Narrator: ...AND FURY

OF THE MOST HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS ON EARTH.

THEY HAVE NO CLOTHES, NO FOOD, NO WATER.

I WANT WATER.

DO THEY HAVE THE SKILL AND THE WILL...

OW! FIRE!

...TO OVERCOME THE MOST BRUTAL SURVIVAL CHALLENGE

OF THEIR LIVES?

"NAKED AND AFRAID."

Duke: IT'S A FRICKING BATTLEFIELD OUT HERE.

Narrator: DEEP IN THE HEART OF CENTRAL FLORIDA

LIES THE SWELTERING FLOOD ZONE OF THE WEKIVA RIVER BASIN.

THE DAUNTING WILDERNESS PROVIDES CAMOUFLAGE

FOR MASSIVE 500-POUND BLACK BEARS

WHO WILL ATTACK ANYTHING THAT THREATENS THEIR TERRITORY.

IN THE MURKY SWAMPS, ALLIGATORS GROW UP TO 14 FEET

AND CAN BITE DOWN WITH A FORCE OF NEARLY 3,000 POUNDS.

MANY SPECIES OF DEADLY VENOMOUS SNAKES AND SPIDERS

CONCEAL THEMSELVES WITHIN THE DENSE FOREST,

MAKING EVERY STEP A CALCULATED RISK.

AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, TROPICAL STORMS ARE A CONSTANT THREAT.

THEY CAN QUICKLY INTENSIFY INTO DEVASTATING HURRICANES

THAT WOULD RAVAGE THIS ALREADY FLOOD-PRONE REGION OF FLORIDA.

THIS IS A LOT PRETTIER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

A REALITY CHECK.

THE TREE'S TRYING TO BEAT ME UP.

MY NAME IS AMAL.

I AM ORIGINALLY FROM IRAQ.

I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH BEING HUNGRY, BEING THIRSTY.

WHEN I WAS ABOUT 8 YEARS OLD, MY FAMILY AND I

SURVIVED IN THE DESERT ON OUR OWN FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS.

MADE LITTLE SPEARS FROM A COUPLE STICKS.

WHEN THE ANIMAL FALLS IN THERE, IT'LL STAB IT.

I CREDIT THIS TO MY BROTHER.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I SEEN HIM MAKE ONE OF THESE IN IRAQ

TO CATCH SOME DINNER FOR US.

I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH IN MY LIFE,

AND I USED IT AS A LESSON.

AN AMERICAN FAMILY SPONSORED US,

AND WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE TO THE U.S.,

SO NOW I LIVE IN IOWA,

AND I HAVE THREE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN WHO I ABSOLUTELY ADORE.

ONE OF MY MAIN REASONS WHY I'M DOING THIS CHALLENGE

IS I HAVE A LITTLE GIRL

WHO THINKS I CAN CONQUER THE WORLD IF I TRY,

AND I WANT TO PROVE TO HER THAT YOU CAN.

SO MY SON ASKED ME TO TAKE THIS ON MY TRIP TO BE SAFE,

MY LITTLE ONE, MY 7-YEAR-OLD.

I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT MY KIDS.

I'VE NEVER, EVER LEFT THEM FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS AT A TIME.

I LOVE YOU. LOVE YOU, TOO.

Narrator: AMAL'S EXPERIENCE SURVIVING FOR 2 YEARS IN THE DESERT,

GIVES HER THE MENTAL FORTITUDE AND RESOURCEFULNESS

THAT WILL HELP IN THE CHALLENGE,

BUT SHE MIGHT STRUGGLE WITH ADAPTING

TO THE DEMANDS OF THIS TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT.

SHE'S BEEN ASSIGNED A PRIMITIVE SURVIVAL RATING,

OR PSR, OF 6.5.

Duke: THIS IS A RICH, VERDANT AREA,

A LOT GROWING HERE.

I'M EXCITED TO GET TO WORK, START SURVIVING.

MY NAME IS DUKE.

I'M A WILDERNESS GUIDE

AND A BIRD AND PLANT BIOLOGIST.

BUILDING A FIGURE-FOUR DEADFALL TRAP.

DEAD.

THE ITEM THAT I'VE CHOSEN TO BRING...

BUDDHA CAT.

CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT, AN EARLY MID-LIFE CRISIS,

BUT, BY GOING THROUGH THIS CHALLENGE,

I WANT TO APPLY ALL THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE

THAT I HAVE TO SEE IF IT CAN HELP ME BE A SURVIVALIST.

Narrator: A BIOLOGIST AND WILDERNESS GUIDE,

DUKE BRINGS SUBSTANTIAL SURVIVAL TRAINING INTO THE CHALLENGE,

BUT OVERCONFIDENCE IN HIS ABILITIES

COULD COMPROMISE HIS SUCCESS.

HE BEGINS WITH A PSR OF 7.1.

HERE WE GO.

AS FAR AS MY PARTNER, A LOT OF MEN COME INTO THIS THINKING,

"I'M MR. MACHO MAN,"

AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT FOR MY PARTNER.

I WANT HIM TO SEE ME AS A TEAMMATE AND AS A PARTNER,

AND I WANT US TO WORK TOGETHER.

READY TO KICK THIS SWAMP'S BUTT.

Duke: ALL RIGHT. HERE'S MY STOP.

GETTING FREE!

I GOT TO GET RID OF MY LUCKY UNDERWEAR TOO.

DO A LITTLE JIG BEFORE THAT.

I'VE GONE TO A CERTAIN DESERT FESTIVAL,

AND I WAS BASICALLY NAKED THE WHOLE TIME FOR THAT.

I'M TOTALLY FINE WITH IT.

NATURE, TAKE ME.

I HAVE ZERO EXPECTATIONS ABOUT MY PARTNER.

I'LL ONLY ASSUME THAT SHE CHOSE TO BE HERE JUST LIKE ME,

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.

Amal: THE WATER IS DEFINITELY STARTING TO STINK.

AND, ON TOP OF THAT, I GOT THIS NASTY BIG SPIDER UP HERE.

THAT IS A THING OF NIGHTMARES.

LET'S HOPE THAT THAT'S AS BIG AS IT GETS.

OH, AHOY!

HELLO THERE.

DON'T FALL.

UP TO THE HIP.

OH, GOD.

FANCY MEETING YOU HERE.

YEAH.

I COULD THINK OF OTHER WAYS WE COULD MEET.

YEAH. NICE TO MEET YOU.

DUKE. AMAL.

AMAL? YES.

GOOD TO MEET YOU. YOU TOO.

YEAH. SO HERE WE ARE.

ARE YOU READY TO CONQUER THIS?

YEAH, EITHER THAT OR BE CONQUERED BY IT,

NO, THAT'S NOT AN OPTION.

NOT AN OPTION. NO, NO.

IT'S A PRETTY BOUNTIFUL AREA, SO...

YEAH, DEFINITELY. SURE.

WE'RE GOING TO KILL IT, RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT. YES!

STARTING THINGS WITH A HIGH FIVE, I LOVE IT.

YES. SHOULD WE SEE WHAT WE HAVE?

YEAH. IT LOOKS LIKE OUR BAGS ARE RIGHT THERE.

YEAH. LET'S CHECK THEM OUT.

SEE WHAT'S IN THEM.

SWEET. SO WE GOT A FIRE STARTER HERE.

WHAT DID YOU BRING?

I GOT THIS POT SO WE CAN MAKE DINNER.

AWESOME. I BROUGHT THIS KNIFE THAT I CUSTOMIZED.

OOH. YEAH, CHECK IT OUT.

IT'S GOT AN ERGONOMIC HANDLE.

WELL, IT'S SHAPED FOR MY HAND, BUT...

WELL, AREN'T YOU JUST FANCY? IT'S SHAPED FOR YOUR HAND.

DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LET ME SHARE?

I AM DEFINITELY SHARING. OKAY.

PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

WE ALSO HAVE OUR TRUSTY MAP.

OH, GOOD.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE IN THE SWAMPY AREA.

I THINK OUR BEST BET IS TO HEAD DOWN THIS WAY.

LOOKS LIKE THERE'S MORE LIFE RIGHT THERE FOR US.

YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE POTENTIALLY HIGHER GROUND TOO.

YEAH, FOR SURE.

I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE WEATHER HERE.

A BIG STORM CAN HIT SUPER QUICK, OUT OF NOWHERE,

SO HIGHER GROUND IS KIND OF A NO-BRAINER.

LET'S GET THE BALL ROLLING THEN.

YEAH, LET'S DO THIS.

THINK WE NEED TO GO THIS WAY.

IT'S PRETTY HARD NAVIGATING IN THIS SWAMP.

YEAH, IT'S VERY DENSE IN HERE.

OH.

THAT'S A GOOD ONE. LOOK AT THAT GUY.

OOH, DON'T TOUCH HIM.

LET'S LET HIM BE.

THERE'S SO MUCH TO LOOK OUT FOR.

YOU GOT SPIDER WEBS. YEAH.

YOU GOT POISON IVY.

ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT SNAKES AT ALL?

YEAH. I THINK, NEXT TO ALLIGATORS,

THAT'S PROBABLY MY BIGGEST THING.

ONE OF THEM THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE

THAT'S HERE IS THE COTTONMOUTH.

YEAH, WELL, LET'S HOPE WE DON'T SEE IT.

Narrator: THE VENOMOUS WATER MOCCASIN IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE COTTONMOUTH.

WHEN THREATENED, IT WILL DISPLAY ITS WHITE-LINED MOUTH

AS A WARNING SIGNAL TO KEEP AWAY.

ITS VENOM CONTAINS A CYTOTOXIC POISON

THAT CAN DISSOLVE TISSUE WITHIN SECONDS.

SO, DUKE, TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF.

OH, WELL, I'M A CAPRICORN.

I LIKE LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH.

I WAS EXPECTING MY PARTNER TO BE, LIKE, THIS REALLY TALL,

BIG ARMY GUY,

AND HE'S COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE,

WHICH IS REALLY GOOD,

BUT I'M HOPING HE'S NOT JUST,

YOU KNOW, A PRETTY BOY

THAT WANTS TO GET OUT SOON WHEN IT GETS ROUGH.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM, ORIGINALLY?

CALIFORNIA. OH, NICE.

YEAH. WHAT ABOUT YOU?

IOWA. IOWA.

I LIVE IN IOWA, BUT I'M FROM IRAQ.

WOW. YEAH.

THAT'S BADASS.

FIRST IMPRESSION, SHE SEEMS TOTALLY NICE,

COMPLETELY CAPABLE, AND READY TO ROCK IT.

OH, I SEE SOME WATER.

AH, YES.

YEP.

THIS FEELS PRETTY GOOD TO ME.

YEAH? YEAH.

I JUST WOULD FEEL BETTER

IF WE WERE JUST, LIKE, A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.

IF IT WAS TO RAIN A LOT, THIS WATER WOULD COME UP REAL QUICK.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO GET ANY HIGHER THAN THIS GROUND.

I THINK THIS IS A PRETTY DECENT OPTION FOR CAMP.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FIND A PLACE TO CAMP.

YEAH.

I MEAN, THIS SEEMS PRETTY DRY AND OPEN RIGHT HERE.

ONE SHELTER THAT I KNOW ABOUT, IT'S A DOUBLE LEAN-TO OR, LIKE,

A A-FRAME, BUT IT ACTUALLY TAPERS DOWN.

YEAH. ARE YOU DOWN WITH THAT?

YEAH. COOL.

Amal: I AM FEELING A LITTLE HESITANT ABOUT THIS LOCATION, BUT...

TIMBER.

...HE SEEMS PRETTY CONFIDENT ABOUT IT.

I'M FEELING REALLY GOOD THAT WE WORK TOGETHER,

AND I THINK DUKE AND I MAKE A GREAT TEAM.

CAN WE JUST PUT THIS ON THIS WAY.

OH, LIKE THAT.

YEAH.

WE GOT -- WE COULD PUT LATS --

YEAH, WE CAN PUT HERE, AND THEN WE CAN PUT THEM ON THE SIDES.

...LATS ACROSS THE WAY. YEAH.

PUT PALMS IN THERE. MM-HMM.

I THINK WE'RE ALREADY OFF TO SOME GOOD COMMUNICATION, SO...

I THINK SO TOO. WE TALK.

YES.

SWEET.

THERE WE GO.

LOOK AT US.

WHOO!

THERE'S SO MANY SOUNDS OUT HERE.

IT'S CRAZY WHAT YOU DON'T HEAR DURING THE DAY,

OR MAYBE JUST THEY'RE NOCTURNAL CREATURES.

I DO KEEP HEARING OWLS, WHICH I ABSOLUTELY HATE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S AN OWL.

LOT OF DANGEROUS THINGS OUT HERE,

GIGANTIC BLACK BEARS, ALLIGATORS.

LET'S KEEP YOUR MACHETE CLOSE BY.

YEAH, IT'S RIGHT THERE BY YOUR HEAD.

GET OUT OF HERE.

IT'S POURING DOWN OUTSIDE, LIKE, POURING DOWN.

I'M KIND OF NERVOUS THAT THE LAKE THAT WE'RE BY

WILL RISE UP AND ENTER OUR SHELTER.

MIGHT BE A LONG NIGHT.

THIS COULD GET REALLY, REALLY BAD.

Duke: WELL, THE WATER DEFINITELY CAME UP

4 OR 5 INCHES, MAYBE.

LAST NIGHT WAS MISERABLE, TO SAY THE LEAST,

AND I DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL.

WOW. YEAH, THIS WAS...

LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, DOESN'T IT?

UH-HUH.

SHELTER HELD UP PRETTY WELL

UNTIL IT WAS A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR.

THEN WE STARTED GETTING LEAKS HERE AND THERE.

CAN THIS WHOLE AREA BE INUNDATED WITH A HUGE STORM?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

DAMN, MAN. IT'S RAINING.

IT'S STARTING TO COME DOWN.

YEAH, IT IS.

OH, MY GOD.

DO YOU REMEMBER, WHEN WE FIRST SET UP THIS SHELTER,

I WASN'T REALLY TOO HAPPY ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE,

YOU KNOW, SOMEWHERE FURTHER UP.

OKAY. WHY DON'T WE SCOPE OUT OTHER PLACES?

WE CAN WALK A LITTLE BIT FURTHER,

SEE IF THERE'S HIGHER GROUND.

SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME FROM THE BEGINNING

AND GET SOMEWHERE HIGHER, BUT, HEY, LET'S GO.

AH. I FEEL TIRED ALREADY.

YEAH, ME TOO.

I'M JUST NOT USED TO THE HUMIDITY.

YEAH, FOR SURE.

BONES.

LOOKS LIKE A WILD BOAR SKULL.

IT'S GOT THE TUSKS STICKING OUT THE BOTTOM.

WELL, WHATEVER KILLED IT, I HOPE IS LONG-GONE.

YEAH.

THERE'S BEARS OUT HERE.

THAT'S JUST ONE ANIMAL I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH.

I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE BEEN WALKING FOR 10 YEARS.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYWHERE YET THAT LOOKS BETTER THAN OUR SITE.

OH, SNAP. LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S ANOTHER CREEK.

OH, MY GOD. THIS WATER IS FRICKING AMAZING.

AMAZING. IT'S NOT ORANGE.

DUDE, IT'S NOT ORANGE BECAUSE IT'S A SPRING.

WHAT? LOOK AT THAT.

THIS IS JUST COMING RIGHT OUT OF THE GROUND.

WOW.

THIS WATER HAS BEEN PURIFIED BY EVERYTHING IN THE SOIL,

LIKE CARBON AND FUNGI.

IT'S ACTUALLY SAFE TO DRINK.

I'M SO, SO HAPPY BECAUSE WE HAVE A NATURAL WATER SOURCE

THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO BOIL.

SO IT'S AWESOME.

I TOTALLY JUST GOT A BOOST FROM FINDING THIS SPOT.

YEAH. WHY DON'T WE BUNKER HERE?

YEAH. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

LET'S KICK BUTT AND TAKE NAMES.

HIGH FIVES. YES.

BOOM.

Duke: WE'RE STARTING FROM SCRATCH WITH THIS,

BUT GOOD THING ABOUT THIS BEING OUR SECOND SHELTER

IS WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE,

AND WE'RE KIND OF MAKING IT ALMOST THE SAME LAYOUT.

WE HAVE, LIKE, MAYBE AN HOUR OF SUNLIGHT.

MM-HMM.

WE HAVE A LOT OF CHORES TO GET DONE BEFORE THEN.

PRESSURE IS ON.

WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT. I HOPE SO.

WE KICKED ASS FOR THE LITTLE BIT OF TIME WE HAD.

OH, WE TOTALLY DID. THIS IS AWESOME.

IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT OUR TEAMWORK.

MAN, IT'S COMING DOWN.

YEAH.

YESTERDAY, WE JUST WENT THROUGH A HIKE FROM HELL,

AND WE'RE SUPER TIRED.

THE PRIORITY FOR TODAY IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET

SOME FOOD ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

I'M GOING TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF FISHING.

THERE'S A BUNCH OF BABY ONES OVER THERE.

SWEET, OKAY.

GOOD LUCK.

OOH, THERE'S TWO BIG ONES RIGHT DOWN HERE.

HEY, DUKE. GRAB THE POT IF YOU CAN.

I JUST CAUGHT SOME FISH, AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT IT

BACK IN THE WATER BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THEM.

AWESOME. WHAT'S YOUR TECHNIQUE?

IT'S KIND OF GROSS TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

WHEN YOU PEE IN THE WATER, THEY SMELL IT,

AND THEN THEY KIND OF GET ATTRACTED TO IT,

AND THEN THEY JUST KIND OF LINGER RIGHT HERE.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.

OH, THAT'S HILARIOUS.

Narrator: FISH CAN BE ATTRACTED TO UREA,

A PROTEIN THAT IS PRESENT IN URINE.

WOULD IT BE HELPFUL TO DOUBLE BAG?

WHAT, DO YOU WANT TO DO IT, TOO?

YEAH, I MEAN, IF YOU'VE GOT THE URINE,

AND THEY'RE HANGING OUT RIGHT NOW.

WELL, I DON'T GOT NO MORE URINE, BUT THEY'RE HANGING OUT.

WELL, THIS IS REALLY EXCITING.

AMAL'S FISHING WAS A MAJOR MORALE BURST.

THE PROTEIN IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO BOTH OF US.

THERE YOU GO. HERE'S YOUR PLATE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

APPRECIATE THAT. HERE'S MY PLATE.

OH, MY GOSH. HERE WE GO.

EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE TINY,

THERE'S DEFINITELY GOOD PROTEIN FOR US.

I'M SO THANKFUL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR... NO PROBLEM.

...AMAZING TECHNIQUE.

OH, I FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT THAT.

OH. I'M SO HAPPY.

I'M USED TO, LIKE, EATING A SMALL AMOUNT AND BEING OKAY.

WHERE DO YOU THINK THAT COMES FROM?

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, WE HAD ESCAPED IRAQ

TO GO TO SAUDI ARABIA, AND, WHEN WE WERE IN THE CAMP

FOR A COUPLE YEARS,

THEY GAVE US A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF FOOD,

A LOAF OF BREAD AND A GALLON OF WATER FOR 14 OF US.

REFUGEE CAMP?

YEAH. THAT'S INTENSE.

BUT IF I EAT JUST A LITTLE BIT...

HOW OLD WERE YOU? I WAS 7 OR 8.

WOW.

IT SOUNDS LIKE AMAL HAS MADE QUITE THE JOURNEY TO BE HERE

BECAUSE OF HER BACKGROUND.

DEFINITELY A LOT OF RESPECT AND REVERENCE OF HER STORY.

I FEEL REALLY LUCKY TO HAVE HER AS A PARTNER.

YOU'VE BEEN ON A JOURNEY.

TO SAY THE LEAST. YOU'VE HAD A LIFE.

WOW, AMAL. TO SAY THE LEAST.

SHELTER IS LEAKING. YEAH.

NOW IT'S TRYING TO COME OVER HERE.

WELL, IT'S A GOOD TIME TO FIX LEAKS.

I'M REALLY WORRIED.

IT'S PROBABLY JUST GOING TO GET WORSE.

I REALLY HOPE NOT, BUT I FEEL LIKE

THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW.

Narrator: AS DUKE AND AMAL FORTIFY THEIR CAMP,

THEY'RE UNAWARE THAT THIS TORRENTIAL RAIN

IS ACTUALLY PART OF AN ENORMOUS STORM.

Man: HOUSTON IS STILL UNDERWATER FROM HURRICANE HARVEY

AS IRMA BEARS DOWN ON THE FLORIDA KEYS.

Woman: HURRICANE IRMA HAS MADE LANDFALL

AS A CATEGORY FOUR STORM WITH VIOLENT WINDS

UP TO 140 MILES PER HOUR.

IT'S THREATENING NEARLY THE ENTIRE STATE OF FLORIDA.

BASED ON THIS FORECAST, IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD.

Narrator: THE CREW HAS BEEN MONITORING WATER LEVELS NEAR CAMP

AND TRACKING THE HURRICANE'S PROGRESS.

FOR NOW, THE SURVIVALISTS ARE NOT IN THE DIRECT PATH

OF THE STORM,

BUT CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE DRASTICALLY

IN A MATTER OF HOURS.

THE WIND IS RIPPING RIGHT NOW.

IT'S SO CRAZY.

WE DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'LL STOP.

I JUST REALLY HOPE THAT THIS DOESN'T TURN INTO A HURRICANE.

THERE'S A LOT OF PUDDLES FORMING HERE.

I THINK I WANT TO DO SOME TRENCHING.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

I'M GOING TO MAKE A LITTLE, LIKE, DIGGING STICK

AND THEN TRY TO REDIRECT THIS WATER.

AS LONG AS I DON'T RUN INTO TOO MANY PINE ROOTS,

IT'S TOTALLY DOABLE.

Duke: PLAN IS TO SURVEY AND JUST SEE WHERE

THE WATER WANTS TO ALREADY GO,

TURN IT THAT WAY AND STEER IT AWAY FROM OUR SHELTER.

THIS ONLY WILL HELP IF THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT CAN LEAVE

IS GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT OF WATER COMING IN.

WHAT THE HELL.

I'M GOING TO GO INVESTIGATE. BE RIGHT BACK.

THESE WINDS ARE PICKING UP.

IT'S STILL COMING DOWN SUPER HARD.

THERE'S CONCERN FOR SAFETY.

HEY, DUKE. YEAH?

I DON'T LIKE YOU OUT THERE. IT'S SCARING ME.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY, WHEN IT'S THIS BAD, NOT LEAVE EACH OTHER.

WINDS ARE MAKING IT SORT OF HEAVE AND HO

AS THOUGH IT WANTS TO LIFT OFF THE GROUND.

YEAH, THE SHELTER IS MOVING. THAT'S NOT GOOD.

I DEFINITELY DON'T FEEL SAFE.

Woman: IRMA HAS CHANGED COURSE OVERNIGHT

AND IS NOW ONE OF THE STRONGEST HURRICANES

EVER RECORDED IN THE UNITED STATES.

Man: ALL RESIDENTS OF CENTRAL FLORIDA ARE ADVISED TO SEEK COVER.

LET'S START MOVING OUT.

Narrator: WATER LEVELS ARE RISING DANGEROUSLY,

QUICKLY FLOODING THE ONLY ROAD LEADING TO DUKE AND AMAL.

THE CREW RACES TO SECURE THEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

Man: LET'S GO. LET'S GO. LET'S GO.

Narrator: WITH MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDERS

IN PLACE THROUGHOUT THE STATE...

Man: LET'S GO. LET'S GO. LET'S GO.

...THE CREW MOVES QUICKLY TO EXTRACT THE SURVIVALISTS

BEFORE A RESCUE BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE.

Amal: YEAH, THE SHELTER IS MOVING. THAT'S NOT GOOD.

I DEFINITELY DON'T FEEL SAFE.

AMAL AND DUKE? YES?

WE HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE YOU OUT.

IT TURNED INTO A PRETTY BAD HURRICANE,

AND, WITH THE WATER LEVELS COMING UP THE WAY THEY ARE,

WE NEED TO TAKE YOU OUT.

OKAY. WE NEED TO GO NOW.

WHOA. *BLEEP* WATER IS SO HIGH NOW.

HERE'S YOUR VEHICLE. WE'RE GOING TO GET IN THE CAR.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A LEGIT HURRICANE.

AND OBVIOUSLY WE KNEW IT WAS BAD OUT THERE,

BUT I DON'T THINK WE KNEW HOW BAD.

I WANT TO GET BACK OUT THERE.

Narrator: AMAL AND DUKE ARE TAKEN TO A PLACE OF SHELTER

AND GIVEN WATER WHILE THEY WAIT FOR THE HURRICANE TO PASS.

OH, MY GOD.

I FEEL LIKE THIS TREE IS GOING TO SNAP AT ANY SECOND.

NONE OF THIS IS A GOOD SIGN.

OW. IT LOOKS INSANELY SERIOUS.

I REALLY HOPE OUR SHELTER CAN WITHSTAND ALL OF THIS.

ABSOLUTELY NO POWER ANYWHERE.

THIS IS GETTING REALLY, REALLY SCARY.

Woman: HURRICANE IRMA HAS LEFT WIDESPREAD DESTRUCTION

IN ITS WAKE.

Man: IRMA HAS MOVED THROUGH FLORIDA

AND HAS NOW BEEN DOWNGRADED TO A TROPICAL STORM.

Narrator: THE DAMAGE IS SEVERE, BUT, BY THE AFTERNOON,

THE CURFEW IN THIS PART OF THE STATE IS LIFTED.

GUYS?

-YEAH. -YEP.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK TO CAMP.

WE'RE READY. WE WANT TO GO.

Narrator: LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER THE STORM HIT,

AMAL AND DUKE ARE TRANSPORTED BACK TO THE SURVIVAL AREA.

MAN, THERE'S A LOT OF FELLED TREES.

YEAH, WOW.

I HOPE THERE'S NOT ONE RIGHT ON OUR SHELTER.

I'M WONDERING HOW MUCH THE HURRICANE

MESSED WITH EVERYTHING.

LIKE, THIS IS BEYOND REAL, BUT I'M EXCITED TO GO BACK IN.

OH, MY GOD.

THAT'S CRAZY.

IT'S A FRICKING BATTLEFIELD OUT HERE.

WHOA. HERE'S A HUGE TREE.

NOTHING EVEN LOOKS THE SAME.

MAKE SURE YOU WATCH WHERE YOU STEP RIGHT NOW.

Duke: THIS STORM HAS STIRRED UP A LOT OF THE WILDLIFE.

THERE'S A LOT OF DISPLACEMENT OF CREATURES,

YOU KNOW, LARGE AND SMALL.

WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE MORE

AGGRESSIVE WILDLIFE, UNFORTUNATELY.

SO WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT ALL THAT.

OH, MY GOD. LOOK AT THE FRICKING WATER.

OH, *BLEEP*.

WE'VE BEEN WALKING FOR A WHILE,

AND COME AROUND AT OUR PREVIOUS CAMP.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE WOULD HAVE SURVIVED.

THERE'S A LOT OF DEAD STUFF FROM THE HURRICANE.

I DO NOT HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR OUR SHELTER.

NOPE.

JUST SEE HOW IT GOES.

THERE'S OUR SHELTER!

IS IT IN PLACE?

OH, MY GOD! IT LOOKS... FIXABLE.

IT LOOKS USABLE AS LONG AS IT'S NOT FLOODED.

WHOO! YES!

WE STILL GOT TO SEE HOW MUCH WATER IS INSIDE OF IT.

WAIT, DID WE JUST MAKE A SHELTER

THAT ALMOST WITHSTOOD A HURRICANE?

HOLD ON.

WE EVEN UNDERESTIMATED OUR SHELTER.

WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO LAST.

WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE BLOWN AWAY AND BE GONE,

AND I'M REALLY HAPPY TO BE WRONG.

DEFINITELY HAVE SOME HOLES, COUPLE BRANCHES DOWN ON IT.

MAYBE THE TRENCHING SAVED THE FLOOD.

WE'RE NOT FLOODED!

WE'RE NOT FLOODED. WHOO!

OH, DUDE, GIVE ME A HUG.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, I'M SO HAPPY.

WE NEED TO COME UP WITH A HAPPY DANCE.

FEEL REALLY LUCKY RIGHT NOW.

GETTING A FIRE GOING.

FIRE!

WE HAVE FIRE.

WHAT'S THAT NOISE?

Duke: GET OUT OF HERE.

KEEP GOING.

COME ON.

GO!

GO!

HEY, DUKE. Duke: YEAH?

I SEE TRACKS.

Duke: LAST NIGHT, AMAL HEARD SOMETHING.

I HEARD IT TOO. I WENT OUTSIDE.

IT WAS SOMETHING LARGE.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT ANYTHING IS,

SO YOU HAVE TO ASSUME THE WORST.

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE TOES,

BUT I DON'T WANT TO SAY FOR CERTAIN.

WE'RE BOTH VERY CONCERNED THAT, YOU KNOW,

THIS COULD BE THE WORST OF OUR FEARS.

THIS COULD BE BEAR TRACKS GOING RIGHT THROUGH OUR CAMP.

OUR SHELTER IS LIKE 30 FEET AWAY.

THIS IS WAY TOO CLOSE TO THE SHELTER.

IF THAT WAS A BEAR, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BE EXTRA VIGILANT

THAT'S A REALLY SCARY SCENARIO.

HOPEFULLY, WHATEVER IT IS, IT STAYS AWAY.

I AM NOT GOING TO LIE.

I'M FEELING A LITTLE WEAK TODAY.

YEAH, ME TOO.

I JUST WANT FOOD.

YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT ALONE.

I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO SUGARCOAT IT.

WE HAVE SHELTER AND WATER AND FIREWOOD,

BUT LACK OF FOOD IS A MAJOR CONCERN.

SO FISH TRAP NUMERO UNO.

I STARTED WITH A BUNCH OF THESE STEMS,

AND THEN THE REMAINDER

IS GOING TO BE FILLED IN WITH PALM LEAVES.

IT'S BASICALLY A FUNNEL SHAPE.

THEY FIND THEIR WAY IN, BUT IT'S HARD FOR THEM

TO GET BACK OUT THROUGH THAT SAME HOLE.

LET'S SEE HOW IT LOOKS.

NICE.

LET'S GO CATCH SOME FISH.

YEAH.

I KIND OF LIKE THIS AREA.

OKAY.

COOL. FINGERS CROSSED.

YES.

YOU WANT TO PEE IN THE WATER AGAIN?

I'M GOING TO CHECK THIS TRAP RIGHT HERE.

NOT SUPER HIGH HOPES.

OH, OW. OW!

OH, GOD.

YELLOW JACKETS, MAN.

Amal: ARE YOU STUNG?

I JUST GOT STUNG ON MY WANKER.

AH.

OH, *BLEEP*

OHHH.

GETTING STUNG POINT-BLANK ON YOUR UNDER-JUNK

BY A YELLOW JACKET...

OW.

...IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE LEAST JOYFUL THINGS

I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED.

OWIE.

NEVER GOTTEN STUNG ON MY YENIS.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO COMPARE IT TO BESIDES SHARP,

HOT, BURNING KNIVES GOING THROUGH PIECES OF SKIN

THAT YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO GO THROUGH.

WE'LL HAVE TO SEE IF I HAVE A ALLERGIC REACTION.

HOPEFULLY I DON'T NEED A E-PENILE-EPHRINE SHOT.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO RIGHT FOR THE JEWELS?

IT HAD SO MANY OTHER PLACES TO STING ME,

YET IT CHOSE TO STING ME RIGHT AT THE END OF THE BUSINESS LINE.

OH, MY GOD.

HUH?

MY GENITALS.

MY MALE CHASSIS GEAR IS JUST SWOLLEN BEYOND ANYTHING

THAT SHOULD EVER LOOK HEALTHY.

ALL RIGHT. IT'S AWKWARD, BUT LET ME SEE.

HOLY...

THAT CAN'T BE GOOD.

I AM SOAKING MY JUNK IN THE CRICK HERE

JUST TO HELP COMBAT THE SWELLING THAT'S HAPPENING.

THE ONE TIME YOU WANT SHRINKAGE.

IT'S DAY 10.

THAT MEANS ONLY ABOUT 10 MORE DAYS UNTIL EXTRACTION.

WE'RE MOVING SLOW. WE'RE A LITTLE WEAK.

MY STOMACH IS GROWLING.

YEAH.

WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES, AND ALL I CAN SEE

IS SLOW SCRAMBLED EGGS AND COFFEE...

LET'S CHECK ON THE FISH TRAP.

NO LUCK ON THE FISH?

I'M SORRY, PARTNER. NO LUCK.

THE STORM COMPLETELY CHANGED THE FISH.

THEY'VE BEEN FLUSHED OUT OR DISPLACED,

AND I THINK THEY'RE STILL RECOVERING FROM THAT.

A LOT WENT ON DURING THAT HURRICANE.

GOING TO LEAVE IT THERE OVERNIGHT AND CHECK AGAIN

IN THE MORNING.

Narrator: AFTER ALMOST 2 WEEKS IN THE WILD,

AMAL AND DUKE HAVE HAD ONLY 100 CALORIES COMBINED.

NO FISH.

IF THEY DON'T FIND FOOD SOON,

THEY'LL BE AT RISK FOR MALNUTRITION,

MUSCLE LOSS, AND DIMINISHED BRAIN FUNCTION.

Duke: WHAT'S UP, SQUIRREL?

POTENTIAL FOOD SOURCE, HELLO.

I HAVE THE COMPONENTS FOR A FIGURE-FOUR DEADFALL TRAP.

THIS LOG HAS A LOT OF WEIGHT DOWN THERE,

SO AS SOON AS A CRITTER HITS THE TRIGGER STICK,

THE THING FALLS ON IT.

THIS HAS GOT TO WORK.

MM, THEY ARE FAST.

MENTALLY, IT'S GETTING HARDER AND HARDER.

YOUR MIND IS LIKE, "HEY, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

GO HOME. GO RELAX.

GO BE SOMEWHERE WHERE IT'S NICE AND CLEAN,

AND YOU'RE NOT MISERABLE."

AND, EVERY DAY, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THOSE FEELINGS

AND THOSE THOUGHTS.

I GOT SOME PRETTY MAJOR HUNGER PANGS RIGHT NOW,

JUST CAME OVER ME.

WHEW.

I'M REALLY FEELING THE AFFECTS OF HAVING SO MUCH WEIGHT LOSS

AND SLEEPING ON THE HARD GROUND.

MY BONES JUST GETTING CRUSHED, BASICALLY.

LOOKS LIKE THE TRAP IS DOWN.

YEP, NOTHING IN THERE.

THE SQUIRREL IS JUST MAKING FUN OF US.

MAN, THIS SUCKS.

MY BODY IS GETTING WEAKER AS THE TIME GOES.

IT'S REALLY TAKING ITS TOLL ON ME.

I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST...

I JUST GOT DIZZY.

*BLEEP*

ALL RIGHT. LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BED HUNGRY AGAIN.

...PASSES AND NO LUCK.

DAMN, I HAVE LOST SOME WEIGHT.

YEAH.

I'M SERIOUSLY HAVING SOME CRAZY FOOD THOUGHTS.

Amal: EVERY NIGHT, IT IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER.

I'M REALLY MISSING MY FAMILY,

REALLY MY KIDS MORE THAN ANYTHING.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN AWAY FROM THEM FOR SO LONG.

THE NIGHTS ARE THE ABSOLUTE HARDEST

BECAUSE I'M USED TO, LIKE,

BEING THERE WITH MY CHILDREN, BUT I'M DOING THIS FOR THEM,

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THEM PROUD.

Duke: IT'S DAY 18.

WE ARE VERY HUNGRY.

WE COULD REALLY USE A BUMP BEFORE EXTRACTION

IN A COUPLE DAYS.

I WANT THIS FISH PRETTY BADLY FOR MY PARTNER AND I.

I KNOW AMAL IS HAVING A HARD TIME

RIGHT NOW MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY.

OH, I'M ALMOST AFRAID TO LOOK

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE DISAPPOINTED.

THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE.

Amal: EVEN AFTER SURVIVING THROUGH A REFUGEE CAMP,

FLORIDA IS SO MUCH HARDER THAN IT SEEMS, WAY HARDER.

I FEEL SO WEAK.

THIS IS A FEELING I'VE FELT BEFORE,

AND I DON'T LIKE IT, YOU KNOW, THE FEELING OF HUNGER

AND, YOU KNOW, NOT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT,

AND IT REMINDS ME A LOT OF MY PAST,

AND I DON'T LIKE THAT.

WHEN I, YOU KNOW,

WHEN WE COME UP SHORT FROM GETTING A MEAL,

IT'S A LITTLE DEPRESSING WHEN YOU CAME OUT HERE

EXPECTING TO -- NOT DOMINATE NATURE --

BUT, YOU KNOW, WORK PRETTY HARMONIOUSLY WITH IT,

NOT BE SLAPPED AROUND SO MUCH BY IT.

I AM A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN MY PREPARATION IN COMING HERE,

IN MY SKILL SET.

I AM GOING TO KEEP TRYING TO PUSH MYSELF.

I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY BEEN SUCCESSFUL

GETTING A SQUIRREL WITH THE DEADFALL,

SO I'M GOING TO PUT A SNARE RIGHT HERE.

TRICK IS YOU WANT THE LOOP BIG ENOUGH FOR THE PREY

YOU'RE GOING TO GO AFTER TO BE ABLE TO SQUEEZE THROUGH

BUT NOT JUST SLIP THROUGH.

IT'D BE SO NICE TO GET A SQUIRREL.

SNAKE!

UGH!

HOW HUNGRY AM I?

DO YOU WANT A COCKROACH?

I'M NOT STARVING ENOUGH.

ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT A COCKROACH?

I AM 100 PERCENT SURE.

OKAY. THEN I'M GOING TO EAT IT.

EW.

IT DOES NOT TASTE THE GREATEST.

UGH. THAT'S SO GROSS.

THINKING OF EVEN PICKING THEM UP

AND PUTTING THEM IN MY MOUTH IS JUST TOO MUCH.

I CAN'T DO IT.

Duke: SNAKE!

WELL, I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS.

IT'LL BE A LOT.

IT'LL BE A LOT FOR US.

WE GOT A SNAKE, PARTNER.

Amal: WOW.

IT'S A REALLY GOOD-SIZE ONE.

RIGHT? I AM IMPRESSED.

THANK YOU.

YOU ARE WELCOME.

Amal: THIS IS EXCITING BECAUSE WE WERE JUST TALKING

ABOUT BEING WEAK AND HUNGRY,

AND THIS IS GOING TO GIVE US A LOT MORE ENERGY

TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH TO EXTRACTION.

I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR DUKE.

HE IS DEFINITELY TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE

WE STAY IN THIS TOGETHER, AND WE TRY TO CROSS THE LINE TOGETHER.

THAT'S A LOT OF SNAKE.

THIS IS GOOD TO GO.

SHOULD WE CHEW IT WITH THE BONES AND EVERYTHING?

YEAH. WE'RE GOING TO EAT IT OFF THE BONES.

MM.

IT HAS SO MUCH FLAVOR IN IT.

IT TASTES DELICIOUS.

ONE MORE DAY.

WE NEEDED THAT SNAKE FOR MORALE AS WELL AS ACTUAL PROTEIN.

THIS IS SO GOOD.

Amal: IT'S THE MORNING OF DAY 21.

VERY SOON, I'LL BE ABLE TO TALK TO MY CHILDREN, SO, YEAH,

I'M SUPER, SUPER EXCITED.

WE ARE ABOUT TO STAND UP AND HEAD ON OUT OF HERE.

DUKE, WHAT DO YOU GOT TO SAY?

PAGING MR. DUDIS, FIRST NAME LES, LES DUDIS.

WE ARE OUT.

WE SHOULD START FIGURING OUT HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE US

TO GET OUT OF HERE SINCE WE'VE MOVED LOCATIONS AND...

THIS IS OUR OLD CAMP, WHICH WE KNOW IS FLOODED.

AND THEN I FEEL LIKE WE WALKED THIS WAY.

OH, YEAH, WE WENT WAY DOWN THIS WAY.

WE'RE BASICALLY TWICE AS FAR FROM EXTRACTION

THAN WE WERE ORIGINALLY, WHICH MAKES ME REALLY CONCERNED.

Narrator: TO REACH THEIR EXTRACTION POINT,

DUKE AND AMAL MUST TREK THROUGH 5 MILES OF THICK TREES

AND ENTANGLED BRUSH THAT OFFER VERY FEW DISTINCT LANDMARKS,

MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE.

ALONG THE WAY, THEY'LL HAVE TO AVOID RAVENOUS BEARS

AND POISONOUS SNAKES BEFORE SWIMMING AN ADDITIONAL 1/4 MILE

IN ALLIGATOR-INFESTED WATER TO A ROAD

WHERE THEIR EXTRACTION VEHICLE AWAITS.

YOU WANT TO WAIT UP?

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET LOST, ARE YOU?

NO.

WHOA!

YOU SCARED ME.

I SAW SOME LITTLE BABY ALLIGATORS OVER THERE.

Duke: SEEING THESE BABY ALLIGATORS COULD MEAN

THAT THERE ARE LARGER ALLIGATORS NEARBY,

AND SO WE HAVE A NEW THING TO BE ON ALERT ABOUT.

YOU THINK WE SHOULD GO A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT?

IT'S STRAIGHT AHEAD, I'M ASSUMING.

GOING FORWARD THEN.

UGH.

FORGETTING WHICH WAY TO GO?

OH, YEAH, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE...

I DON'T KNOW. ...ON THE MAP.

THAT MAKES IT WORSE.

IT DOES MAKE IT KIND OF WORSE.

LOOKING FOR A SIGN, SOME KIND OF DRY AREA.

I AM HOT.

OH, I FEEL WEAK.

YOU AND ME BOTH.

OH, MY GOD.

I'M SO FRICKING TIRED, AND THAT WORRIES ME.

I FEEL LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT.

BEEN LOST FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

WE HAVE.

UGH. WHERE ARE WE?

WE JUST NEED A SIGN.

GIVE US A SIGN!

Duke: THE HARDEST PART OF THIS HIKE

IS NOT HAVING AN ACCURATE SENSE OF DIRECTION.

I WANT TO CLIMB THAT TREE.

DO IT.

FOCUS ON SEEING WHERE THE HECK WE'RE GOING.

OKAY.

Amal: WE'VE BEEN WALKING FOR A VERY LONG TIME,

AND WE HAVEN'T REALLY HAD ANY SIGN

OF ANY OF OUR LANDMARKS THAT WE WERE HOPING TO SEE.

SO I AM SEEING A BODY OF WATER THAT LOOKS SIMILAR

TO OUR LAST LANDMARK ON THE MAP BEFORE OUR X SPOT.

THERE'S AN ISLAND.

DOES IT SEEM LIKE THERE'S KIND OF AN ISLAND

IN THE MIDDLE OF IT? Amal: YEAH,

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. THAT'S TOTALLY IT.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? YEAH, IT'S GOT TO BE.

YES!

YES!! WHOO!

MY LEGS HURT A LOT, BUT I KNOW I COULD DO IT,

SO I JUST HAVE TO GO.

Duke: OOH, IT'S REALLY DEEP OVER HERE.

OH.

I'M JUST BEAT.

Amal: ME TOO.

DO YOU HEAR THAT?

I HEAR SOMETHING. AH!

LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.

OH, MY GOD. WHOO!

WOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!

WHOO! WHOO!

OH, MY... WE DID IT.

GIVE ME A DIRTY, SANDY HUG.

DUDE, YOU DID IT. WE DID IT.

I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

Amal: SEEING THE RESCUE VEHICLE GOT ME VERY EMOTIONAL

BECAUSE MY MIND INSTANTLY WENT TO MY KIDS.

IT'S AS IF THEY WERE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT, WAITING FOR ME.

AND I'M THINKING ABOUT HOW

THEY'RE GOING TO SEE THEIR MOM IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT.

I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO SEE A DIFFERENT STRENGTH FROM ME,

AND THAT'S REALLY BIG.

THAT'S REALLY BIG FOR ME.

I NEED TO GO. LET'S GO.

WHOO-HOO-HOO!

MAN, I JUST FINISHED 21 DAYS SURVIVING IN THE FLORIDA SWAMP,

AND I FEEL ELECTRIC RIGHT NOW.

WHOO! WOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!

WE WENT THROUGH A FRICKING HURRICANE OUT HERE,

AND IT WAS ALL WORTH IT.

I AM ON MY WAY TO GO SPEAK TO MY BABIES.

Amal: I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD HAVE DONE THIS CHALLENGE

WITHOUT DUKE AS MY PARTNER.

I MEAN, HE WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE, AND HE'S BEEN THERE FOR ME.

Duke: AMAL AND I HAVE THESE CRAZY DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS,

BUT I'M REALLY JUST BLOWN AWAY

THAT WE GOT TO THE PLACE WHERE WE DID,

WHICH WAS SO FULL OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP.

WHOO! WOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!

WE DID IT.

BYE, FLORIDA! BYE, FLORIDA!

SEE YOU WITH CLOTHES ON NEXT TIME.

Narrator: OVER THE COURSE OF THE 21 DAYS, AMAL LOST A TOTAL OF 10 POUNDS.

HER PAST EXPERIENCE OVERCOMING ADVERSITY

IN THE BARREN DESERT SERVED HER WELL,

AND HER PSR RISES FROM 6.5 TO 7.0.

DUKE LOST A TOTAL OF 26 POUNDS,

BUT HIS PERSEVERANCE RAISES HIS PSR

FROM 7.1 TO 7.6... WHOO!

...PROVING THAT TEAMWORK AND DETERMINATION

CAN BE THE ANSWER TO SURVIVING

THE HURRICANE-BATTERED SWAMPS OF FLORIDA

NAKED AND AFRAID.
