Narrator: LOCATED ALONG THE RING OF FIRE

IN THE PHILIPPINES IS SUBIC BAY,

AN AREA PRONE TO EXTREME NATURAL DISASTERS

SUCH AS EARTHQUAKES, TYPHOONS, AND TSUNAMIS.

I'M NERVOUS ABOUT BEING COMPLETELY EXPOSED OUT HERE.

A LOT OF NERVOUS FARTING, NERVOUS BURPING.

I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO VOMIT AT POINTS.

Jess: THIS LOCATION LOOKS VERY...

DENSE.

IT'S VERY HOT, VERY HUMID, STICKY EVERYWHERE.

I KNOW IT'LL BE TOUGH, BUT I KNOW I'LL MAKE IT.

Narrator: SUBIC BAY ON THE ISLAND OF LUZON

GIVES WAY TO MOUNTAINOUS JUNGLES WITH THICK CANOPIES

THAT BLOCK THE WIND, RAIN, AND SUNLIGHT,

CREATING A HUMID AND DARK ENVIRONMENT BELOW.

THESE JUNGLES ARE HOME TO MONITOR LIZARDS

UP TO 6 FEET LONG, WITH SHARP RAZOR LIKE CLAWS

TO FIGHT AND ATTACK THEIR PREY,

AS WELL AS THE HIGHLY VENOMOUS PHILIPPINE PIT VIPER,

WHICH CAMOUFLAGES ITSELF IN THE TREES, AND STRIKES FROM ABOVE.

I DESCRIBE MYSELF AS A BIT OF A DIRTBAG.

I'M JUST A DEGENERATE PUNK FROM THE SUBURBS.

I CONSIDER MYSELF A LOUD,

DISGUSTING THRILL-SEEKER, AND I LOVE TO GET GROSS.

I'M AN EXECUTIVE CHEF DOING 17 HOURS A DAY.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CHAOS.

I LOVE THE SUCK. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT.

AS A CHEF, I AM A GROSS PERSON.

I WILL EAT ANYTHING.

BUT I DO ENJOY MAKING IT LOOK LIKE IT'S GONNA TASTE GOOD.

I'VE BEEN A SURVIVALIST MY WHOLE LIFE.

MY FAMILY WERE BIG CAMPERS. WE WERE ALWAYS INTO BUSHCRAFT.

IN 2013, I STAYED ON A DESERTED ISLAND

FOR 11 DAYS, BY MYSELF, TO SEE IF I COULD DO IT.

IT REALLY BROUGHT SOMETHING OUT IN ME,

AND I'VE BEEN ADDICTED EVER SINCE.

I'M TAKING ON THIS CHALLENGE BECAUSE

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT REVELING IN THE SUCK, FOR ME,

THAT JUST MAKES EVERYTHING FEEL ALIVE.

I JUST WANT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFICULT.

AND THIS IS ABOUT AS EXTREME AS YOU GET.

I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE VERY COMPETITIVE, AND VERY STUBBORN.

I PLAYED BASKETBALL THROUGHOUT COLLEGE.

I ALSO PLAYED FOOTBALL FOR AN ALL-WOMAN'S

FULL-TACKLE FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

I HAD TO BE FAST, AND I HAD TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A HIT.

I'M A HOCKEY MOM. I HAVE TWO BOYS

AND THE SAYING IS TRUE --

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HOCKEY MOM

AND A PITBULL IS LIPSTICK.

I COME FROM AN OUTDOORS FAMILY.

BOTH OF MY GRANDFATHERS

WERE VERY BIG INTO HUNTING AND CAMPING.

MY LITTLE CHICKEN.

SEE IT COOKING.

I AM A TOUGH BITCH.

IF I'M NOT BEING COMPETITIVE,

I'M NOT FULFILLING SOMETHING IN MY LIFE.

I'M TAKING ON THIS CHALLENGE BECAUSE, AS AN ATHLETE,

I LOVE PUSHING MY BODY TO WHERE I CAN LITERALLY NOT GO ANYMORE.

ABSOLUTELY NOT, WILL I EVER GIVE UP.

I DON'T LIKE LOSING.

TAPPING OUT, FOR ME, IS NOT AN OPTION.

I'M VERY CONFIDENT IN MY ABILITIES TO BE HERE.

I GUESS THIS IS IT.

AMERICA, I APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE.

THIS IS THE FUN PART.

I THINK IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE AWKWARD BEING NAKED,

BUT I'M VERY COMFORTABLE IN MY RELATIONSHIP.

SO, FINDING MYSELF BEING ATTRACTED TO ANYBODY HERE

IS NOT AN ISSUE.

HERE WE GO.

THERE'S A NAKED PERSON IN THERE LOOKING FOR ME RIGHT NOW,

SO LET'S GO.

NICE AND SMOOTH. LIKE, GET RIGHT IN THERE.

WHERE I COME FROM, WE HAVE GRATITUDE ROCKS.

GRATITUDE ROCKS? YEAH.

EXPLAIN, PLEASE.IT'S A LITTLE ROCK.

WHEREVER YOU FIND IT,

YOU JUST STICK IT IN YOUR POCKET OR BAG,

AND EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH IT, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO THINK

ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE GRATEFUL FOR.

THAT'S AWESOME. BUT THAT'S THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF THIS.

I KNOW.

I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND LOOK FOR ONE FOR YOU.

'CAUSE I'M GONNA GO AHEAD

AND ASSUME YOU DON'T WANT TO SHARE.

♪♪

I'M SUPER-WEAK.

Jon: OH, MY GOD.

DID YOU JUST GO DOWN?

YEAH. YOU ALRIGHT?

YEAH, I'M GOOD. YOU FEEL WARM.

YOU FEELING ALRIGHT? YEAH.

COME ON. LET'S GET BACK TO CAMP, RIGHT?

WANT ME TO PICK YOU, OR YOU WANT US TO CHILL FOR A MINUTE?

I'M GOOD.

Narrator: PRODUCERS CALL ON THE MEDIC TO CHECK ON JESS.

I'M JUST TIRED. I'M GOOD.

A LITTLE BIT.

JESS JUST TOOK A FACE PLANT, AND WE HAVE A LONG-ASS HIKE

OUT OF HERE TOMORROW, SO IF WE'RE NOT ABLE TO STAND,

WE'RE DEFINITELY NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO WALK A FEW MILES UP

AND DOWN HILL IN THE SUN.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A LITTLE SCARY.

♪♪

JESS HAD A NEUROLOGIC EPISODE WHICH IS SYNCOPE,

AND THAT'S ALREADY CONSIDERED MODERATE TO SEVERE DEHYDRATION.

Narrator: SYNCOPE IS A TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT OCCURS

WHEN LACK OF FLUIDS IN THE BODY SLOWS DOWN THE HEART.

THIS RESULTS IN INSUFFICIENT BLOOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN.

IF FLUIDS AREN'T REPLENISHED,

IT CAN COMPROMISE THE HEART AND LEAD TO CARDIAC ARREST.

I'M GONNA GO FILL UP THE WATER.

OKAY. THANKS.

Jon: EXTRACTION'S TOMORROW.

IF JESS STARTS TO FALTER, I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO PUSH HER.

BUT I THINK SHE'S GONNA PUSH HERSELF TO THE BREAKING POINT.

HOPEFULLY WE DON'T GET TO THE BREAKING POINT

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO WALK OUT OF HERE ALONE.

WE'RE GONNA NEED CONTAINERS

TO CARRY WATER FOR EXTRACTION DAY.

JUST GONNA MAKE A QUICK STOPPER FOR THAT LAST BOTTLE.

I WANT TO TAKE THREE BOTTLES WITH US TO CARRY THE WATER

SHE'S GONNA NEED FOR TOMORROW.

I JUST NEED TO GIVE MY BODY A MINUTE TO REST.

♪♪

♪♪

Jess: TODAY IS DAY 21.

MY BODY HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH

JUST ONE BIG GAME OF CATCH-UP PHYSICALLY.

JUST ONE BLOW AFTER THE OTHER, AFTER THE OTHER.

SO, TODAY, I'M GONNA PUSH MYSELF AS FAR AS I CAN

UNTIL I CAN ABSOLUTELY NOT GO ANY MORE.

SHALL WE FIGURE OUT WHERE WE'RE GOING?

WE'RE HERE, RIGHT? YEAH.

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BIT OF A CLIMB,

AND THEN WE HEAD EAST STRAIGHT INTO THE JUNGLE.

YEAH. THIS LOOKS PRETTY DENSE. YEAH.

WE DO HAVE TO CROSS SOME MONKEYS.

YEAH. LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

Narrator: TO GET TO THEIR EXTRACTION POINT, JESS AND JON

FACE A GRUELING HIKE A MILE UP THE HILL,

CLIMBING OVER 500 FEET IN ELEVATION,

BATTLING THE RISK OF HEAT EXHAUSTION,

WHICH IS ALREADY SLOWLY TAKING JESS DOWN.

♪♪

HOLY *BLEEP*

THAT'S SLIPPERY RIGHT THERE.

OW! CAREFUL.

♪♪

THE HIGHER YOU GET, IT'S HARDER TO BREATHE

AND WE'RE GOING BASICALLY STRAIGHT UP.

♪♪

WAIT A MINUTE.

I FEEL LIKE I'M GONNA GET SICK.

YEAH. I MEAN, TAKE ALL THE BREAKS YOU NEED. I GET IT.

SLOW MY HEART RATE DOWN.YEAH. I HEAR YOU.

DEHYDRATION CAN CAUSE A RAPID RISE IN HEART RATE

AND A SEVERE DROP IN BLOOD PRESSURE,

SOMETIMES LEADING TO SHOCK.

♪♪

GOOD?

I NEED A BREATHER.

Jess: IT IS STRAIGHT UP. STRAIGHT UP.

ONE HILL AFTER THE OTHER,

AFTER THE OTHER, AFTER THE OTHER.

IT FEELS LIKE IT'S NEVER ENDING, BUT I NEVER GIVE UP.

THAT'S JUST WHO I AM.

-YOU GOT TO DRINK. -I CAN'T DRINK RIGHT NOW.

I WILL THROW UP, AND THAT WILL BE EVEN HARDER ON MY BODY

THAN DRINKING RIGHT NOW.

I'M ALMOST TO THE POINT

WHERE I'M JUST GONNA SIT MY ASS RIGHT HERE

UNTIL YOU TELL ME HOW FAR I HAVE TO GO.

WE GOT TO KEEP GOING.

WE'RE NOT GONNA GET THERE SITTING HERE.

UNLESS YOU WANT TO TAP ON DAY 21.

♪♪

COME ON.

♪♪

GOOD. LET'S GO.

Jon: I WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS JUNGLE.

SHE'S MY PARTNER. I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT HER.

IF THERE'S ONE THING JESS IS, IS SHE'S TOUGH.

I'LL CARRY YOUR WATER.

♪♪

IT SUCKS. BUT JUST DO IT.

DON'T STAND IN THE SUN.

JUST GOT TO HIT IT.

♪♪

I THINK WE'RE AT THE TOP.

THERE'S TIRE MARKS HERE.

I THINK THIS IS OUR SPOT.LORD, I HOPE SO.

OHH! I HEAR IT.

AWESOME.

WE MADE IT. GOOD JOB.

SHE DID IT. SHE WAS HURTING,

BUT SHE PUSHED THROUGH IT, AND SHE MADE IT UP THE HILL.

WE ACTUALLY *BLEEP* DID IT. COME ON.

HAVING A PARTNER LIKE JON HAS REALLY HELPED ME

GET THROUGH THIS.

LET'S GET IN THE *BLEEP* DAMN JEEP, JESS.

I KNEW THIS CHALLENGE WAS GONNA BE DIFFICULT.

DO IT.

AND I WAS PREPARED FOR THAT.

WHAT I WASN'T PREPARED FOR WAS THE CURVE BALLS

THAT THE JUNGLE THROWS AT YOU.

Narrator: JESS SURVIVED SUBIC BAY,

HAVING LOST 17 POUNDS.

HER REFUSAL TO QUIT RAISES HER PSR

FROM 6.1 TO 6.6.

AS TORTUROUS AS IT WAS, EVERY DAY, YOU WAKE UP,

AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING.

IT'S A GOOD FEELING. I DEFINITELY REALIZED

I CAN TAKE A LOT MORE THAN I THOUGHT I COULD.

AND I THINK I COULD USE THIS ENERGY

TO REALLY DO SOMETHING GOOD WITH MYSELF.

I'M A NEW MAN.

ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.

Narrator: JON LOST A TOTAL OF 26 POUNDS

AND LEAVES THE JUNGLE BEHIND WITH A PSR OF 7.2.

WE DID IT.

Jess: IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE DONE,

AND NOT GIVING UP IS A HUGE, HUGE THING,

AND I'M VERY PROUD FOR GETTING THROUGH IT.

YEAH!

FIRST PIECE OF PIZZA IN MY HOTEL ROOM,

AND I FEEL WONDERFUL.

I HAVE AIR-CONDITIONING, TOO.
