Original subtitles

Look at that! Get out of the water!

Oh, my...

Narrator: Andros island, The Bahamas, a barren island

with barely any resources to survive on

surrounded by one of the largest populations of sharks

on the planet.

To the east, deadly Caribbean reef sharks search for prey

along one of the longest reefs on earth.

To the north, this shark-filled kill zone

boasts the world’s largest number of blue holes...

Deep underwater sinkholes

that attract the bigger predators like hammerheads,

tiger sharks and the ultra-aggressive bull shark.

Now, in a unique 2-hour event... yeah!

...five of the most fearless

"Naked and Afraid" All-Stars... oh, [bleep]!

...chosen for their ability to endure extreme conditions,

are about to be brought together to survive here for 14 days.

Yeah, I can’t wait to get out there.

And with nothing to hunt or harvest on land,

they will be forced to venture into these treacherous waters

for food and compete for resources

with some of the deadliest sharks in the world,

and they will be doing it completely naked.

I’m out here at Andros.

My expectations are high. I’m excited,

I’m thrilled, and I’m gonna murder this adventure.

Steven: I’ve done 21 days in Alabama.

I’ve done 40 days in Pongola, South Africa.

This challenge is gonna be completely different.

Out here, I’m dealing with sharks, stingrays,

pretty much the complete opposite...

Of what I dealt with in Alabama.

Here’s a heart.

-That’s sick. -Yeah, you damn right

it’s sick, girl, ’cause I’m the king of the forest.

Steven: People mistake my confidence for arrogance sometimes.

On this challenge, I want to ride a tiger shark.

I want to give a bull shark a high-five.

I want to dive into the depths

and look an apex predator in the eye

and let him know that I’m Steven Lee Hall Jr.

I’m gonna put this challenge over my leg,

and I’m gonna spank it.

I am so far out of my element

that I have no idea what to expect right now.

Eva: For my previous challenges,

I did 21 days in Madagascar and 40 days in Columbia.

Thatagirl!

-Yeah, buddy. -Yeah, baby!

Look at this guy. -Yes!

Eva: I’m a desert girl.

I’m not a strong swimmer ’cause I’ve never spent any time

in an environment like this.

Like, every one of these dark spots is something,

but I don’t know what it is.

My biggest fear coming out here is sharks,

and I really want to conquer that,

and so here I am, throwing myself into the ocean,

and I know that they’re here to pick off the weak one.

Story of my life, getting naked on national television.

All right.

This is amazing.

[ Sighs ]

Beauty can be deceiving, though.

All right. It’s go time.

[ Chuckling ]

Lots of shells on the bottom.

You’ve got to be really careful of your feet here.

-Is that Eva? -Hey, what’s up?

Oh, my gosh! All right! -Hey, Steven! Yeah!

Look at this. [ Laughs ]

All-star crew. -Oh, man,

I’m so glad there’s somebody else out here.

-Me, too, right? -I’m so glad it’s you.

-High-five, dude. -This is awesome.

This is, like, a mysterious environment for me.

Little reefs, little rock ledges...

...not that I have... hey! -Oh!

Oh, my god, it’s Ryan Holt! -Look at this guy.

Ah! That’s awesome!

Not really sure what’s down there,

but I know there’s some sharks.

I completed my last challenge in the everglades.

Whoo!

Alligator boom stick noose... [ grunts ]

Ryan: Being from Maine, and when I left home,

there was 2 feet of snow,

so there was not a whole lot I could do to prepare

for this type of environment.

Well, here we go.

Ryan: I really don’t know a whole lot about sharks

asides from the fact that they can kill you with one bite

or at least leave you with about 500 stitches.

-Have you ever been here before? -No.

You’ve been to a place like this before?

Completely new to this environment.

Yeah. -Hey!

Oh, my goodness. There’s another one.

Oh, my god, another one?! -Yeah!

Who is that? -That’s Ky.

Ky: I’ve heard the Bahamas is one

of the sharkiest places in the world.

My last challenge was in the swamps of Louisiana.

There are leeches everywhere in this water.

It’s just one more thing that the Louisiana swamplands

are gonna throw at us.

Ky: I’m really looking forward to interacting with sharks

on another level, but I do know that they are

basically designed to be a killing machine.

Even though this seems like paradise,

it could be hell on earth.

-This is crazy. -This is good.

This is a good crew, you guys. -All right.

Our group is building and getting stronger.

-Look at that guy. -We got another one!

-Oh, my god. -There’s another one.

-What the [bleep]? -They’re everywhere.

I heard you guys needed someone handsome in your group.

I don’t fear sharks. I have a great respect for them,

respect of what they are capable of.

They are man-eaters.

I completed 21 days in Dominica...

Little bastards are fast.

...and 40 days in Colombia,

so I would say that I’m a lot more mentally prepared.

I come from a shore town, so this is very similar

to the environment that I’m very familiar with.

I am pretty much an absolute Alpha male.

You have different types of sharks here in the Caribbean

that can swim 20 miles an hour

to opposed to your 3 miles an hour.

When it comes to the water, they are the Alpha here.

Do you have a map in your bag? -I don’t.

I got my big-old knife right there.

Eva: Yeah, I’ve got a knife.

Ky: Is that a boat coming in?

Chris: Yeah, it looks like it’s definitely coming this way.

Uh-huh. Hey!

What’s going on? -Hi, there.

How are you doing?

Welcome to our island.

-Hello, everyone. -What’s going on with this guy?

-Hi. -I got a bag of stuff.

And I notice you’re clothed. -I am, yes.

My name is Tristan Guttridge.

I’m a shark expert,

and I’ve been studying their behavior

for the last 12 years here in The Bahamas,

and, of course, we’re on the island of Andros,

and it is beautiful.

However, it’s pretty barren, as well,

so you’re gonna have to use the ocean to sustain yourselves,

but you’re gonna have to be careful

because there’s 40 species of shark in the Bahamas.

40?

From your bottom-dwelling, suction-feeding nurse sharks...

Whose powerful jaws are filled with hundreds of tiny teeth...

To your pack-hunting reef sharks...

Who, at 6 to 8 feet in length,

are your largest resident sharks in the reef ecosystem...

And then your big, highly-mobile apex predators...

Your aggressive bull sharks and your tiger sharks,

who, with their can-opener-shaped teeth

and huge jaw will eat almost anything,

from birds to turtles, dolphins, and even other sharks.

Now, I’ve brought you some extra tools to help you survive

and succeed the next couple of weeks,

and then I also have... -A map.

...a map of the local area. -I’ll take that.

A few little things to remember...

Not to state the obvious, but you guys are naked,

so you’re more vulnerable,

particularly when you go out in the water, as well.

You know, you’ve got white skin,

and it’s much more visible to sharks, okay?

So you can be a target.

And then, finally, if you do choose to go out

and spear on the reef, don’t move erratically.

Don’t swim frantically.

Don’t move your hands like this

’cause the inside of your palm ls white like a bait fish,

and you don’t want to attract attention, okay?

Ky: The information that Tristan gave

makes you realize the danger of the situation we’re in.

You can’t just sort of go for a casual swim

just right off the beach

because the big ones are in close, as well.

Eva: Lt really hit home as to what a shark-intensive area this is.

This desert girl is a fish out of water here.

-Good luck. -Thank you.

You’re not staying? -Thank you.

I’m not staying.

All right, guys. -Nice.

Chris: So, let’s take a look at the map.

Just from looking at this,

the bugs are probably gonna be an issue,

so maybe we’ll get down here around the windward side

of this point, build our shelter so the wind’s at our back.

Most importantly, what I see

ls a boat. Steven: A boat.

Maybe it doesn’t hurt to go check it out.

It’s perfect. Sounds like a game plan.

Head down that way? -Let’s do it, man.

Ryan: I’m just now starting to realize

how barren the land is and how much time

I’m gonna have to actually spend out there with the sharks.

I ain’t sleeping on this [Bleep], that’s for damn sure.

[ Laughter ]

Narrator: Andros Island is 2,300 square miles of harsh terrain.

It’s blasted daily by strong winds,

and sundown brings an agonizing assault

of blood-sucking insects.

Along with competing with the sharks for food,

they will be subjected to the relentless Caribbean sun

during the day and frequent violent thunderstorms at night.

Ky: What do you think about this for a campsite?

Eva: It’s not a bad area.

Like, we got a bit of shelter from the...

It’s inviting, and it’s soft.

This looks really nice in here.

There’s water over here, guys!

Nice.

Wow.

It’s fresh. -Yeah.

-That’s great. -So, not salt?

-No. -That’s awesome.

This is an environment where we have to stay hydrated.

It’s spring-fed through limestone,

so it’s filtered and ready to drink,

which is such a blessing in a survival situation.

Ryan: Oh, check this out.

Actually, it looks like the boat’s right over here

in this body of water,

and I think that’s the one that was on the map.

That doesn’t look in such bad condition, either.

Steven: That’s a good-looking little skip right there.

Narrator: In addition to the boat they’ve been given,

the group will also have access to massive amounts of debris

deposited in the Atlantic ocean every day.

-Whoo! -Oh, look at that!

-Look at that. -It’s a dinghy!

And we found some nice pieces of driftwood.

I’m thinking we’re right here. We’re right there.

Now is just as good a time as any.

-Try out the boat? -Try out the boat.

We will get some food, spear fish.

I figure we just kind of jetty on out to the reef.

Chris: It’s not that windy right now. We still have visibility.

I want to get in this water. -Yeah, absolutely, dude.

Who’s with us? -I’m in.

Two... boom. All right. Cool.

I’ll work on the shelter if you guys bring home some food.

Awesome. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Ky: All right. Let’s do this thing.

Ky: My main concern is, I know currents around small islands

tend to be quite vicious, so, you know,

we could get swept out anywhere.

Ryan: Making a fire pit out of shells and coral.

We’re in a very deep bed of pine needles,

which is highly flammable,

so we’re gonna do the best we can to contain the fire

’cause we’re gonna be sleeping around it

so any wind or sparks or anything,

we don’t want the rest of this place to go up.

Steven: My biggest fear heading out here

is once you’re in the water, comfort is one thing,

but the fact that you don’t belong there is always a worry.

If I see something, I’ll bang the boat.

And I’ll keep it as steady as I can.

Hey, let’s get in the water and see if we can get some grub.

Chris: I’ve had some experience diving in the keys

and stuff like that with sharks.

To be naked is insane.

Steven: You look out at that beautiful, teal ocean.

It just looks calm and beautiful,

like nothing in the world can harm you,

but you get out in a tiny dinghy

and seeing shadows all around my boat,

all around Ky, all around Chris.

I tell you what... it’s scary.

Guys, huge reef shark!

Narrator: Caribbean reef sharks, known as the silent sea predators,

hunt using acute hearing and can detect the low frequency sounds

of a struggling fish hundreds of yards away.

They also have a highly developed sense of smell

that helps them track prey

and specialized organs called ampullae of lorenzini

that can detect the vibrations of a human heartbeat.

Steven: Oh, my god.

Oh, my god!

Come on!

-That is insane. -Just absolutely intense.

Steven: Human beings are really not supposed to be out here.

You see these apex predators literally circling.

You can’t help but have your heart skip a couple of beats.

-Hey. -Hey, hey.

That was exhausting. Yeah, I bet.

And there was nothing. Stop.

Nothing... Well, there were sharks.

There were sharks?

Like, from the second we got in the water,

they were coming up behind or around you.

Oh, my god. We’re working in a wild world.

This is like an underwater wilderness.

To be in the dinghy with sharks circling around,

that elevates my blood pressure just saying it out loud.

Ky: When you guys go out, you have to be really careful

’cause, like, one move either way,

and you’re just, like, [bleep].

It was nuts, man. -I’m shocked.

It’s starting to get mosquito time.

I’m already starting to get a little itchy.

There you go. -There is is.

-Yeah! -Good job. There we go.

-Night one... -Bugs out in droves.

Steven: ...Getting our asses eaten alive by mosquitoes.

Ky: I’m trying to, like, zen through it,

but there’s no zenning.

I can get it for, like, a minute,

and then I’m like, "gah!" [ Chuckles ]

Eva: I feel like I already have about 100 bug bites.

[Bleep] Damn it! [Bleep]

Ryan: The mosquitoes are just too much for me.

The sand flies are just eating me alive.

Ah! Seriously. -What is it?

I don’t know. It just [bleep],

like, something just, like, flew straight at me.

Ow!

Steven: Man, we had a rough night last night.

The bugs were terrible. None of us got any sleep.

Let’s start with a tour of my sand flea bites,

just like that,

and then we’ll come around over here to the left side.

This is a really good one, right here.

Look at my ass cheek.

Ky: It’s way colder than I think any of us anticipated here.

I think we all got excited and went, "Bahamas," and then...

Yeah, very chilly last night.

I think shelter needs to be a priority.

Absolutely.

Ryan: Our shelter’s gonna go right here.

The opening’s gonna go right in front of me,

so the easterly winds will have an actual wind block.

Whether we sleep inside the shelter or not,

that will keep us much warmer, just getting out of the wind.

Narrator: Using a combination of chopped branches,

palm leaves, and driftwood,

the group spends most of the afternoon

constructing a lean-to debris shelter.

-Is it gonna work? -I think we’re gonna be okay.

Ky: So I’m making a lightweight spear.

It seems the most efficient way

of catching a meal out here at the moment.

Ryan: It looks like it’s... the tide’s going out

quite a bit right now.

Around this side of the island, where there’s no wind,

I’m gonna go look for some schools of fish

or see if we can find some lobster or something.

But if you guys all want to go as a group,

that way if we do enter the water,

and there are some shadows and sharks,

then we’ll be able to have each other’s back.

Here on the island,

there’s really not a whole lot for us to harvest or even hunt,

so our major food source is out there in the ocean.

Eva: You guys, I would love to actually be able to catch a fish.

That would be a lifetime first for me.

So I say we go right in here where it’s a bit shallow.

Let’s get some food, huh? -We could use it.

[ Laughing ] We are in it.

We got a little bit of dinner, guys.

-Good job. -Nice work.

Ky: The main thing about spearfishing

is you got to get that fish

out of the water once you’ve caught it.

Even the dribble of a tiny piece of blood

or the fish guts is enough to call sharks in.

You got him? -Yeah.

-Yo, look at that! -Get out of the water!

Shark!

Holy [bleep]!

Chris: Wow. He’s looking for that snapper you tagged.

Ky: I think we should head back to camp, like, asap.

Andros island, man.

It’s beginning to feel like the sharks

are our competition out here.

Intense.

Eva: Yummy yellow-eyed snapper on a stick.

Steven is cutting up his first catch.

What do you think, Steven? So far, so good?

I’m excited, man. Looking mostly bone-free.

Be careful in here, but...

Thank you so much.

Steven: There’s five bodies to feed, and we got one snapper.

You know, it wasn’t a lot for everybody.

We need to get some adequate food on the table

to accomplish not only our goals but what we need to survive.

Eva: Mm-hmm.

Morning... day three. You know, I’m looking forward

to getting back out there on the water.

Hopefully, we can get some fish for breakfast.

I’m a firm believer that the way you start your morning

sets the tone or the pace for the rest of the day.

The sun’s coming up, and everyone still is sleeping.

Even though it’s nice to have company,

honestly, on this challenge,

I’m really looking forward to some solo time.

You never know what the tide’s gonna bring in.

I got to be really careful if I’m gonna spear a fish.

Holy [bleep]!

A lemon shark pretty damn close to shore.

He is right in front of me.

Oh, my go-o-d.

He’s right there.

Lemon sharks are very yellow and sandy,

just like the bottom that I’m standing on,

so they’re hard to see.

All I can see is shadows.

Massive hammerhead shark.

Narrator: The great hammerhead shark ls an insatiable hunter

that can grow to be 20 feet long.

Its mallet-shaped head is packed with more prey-detecting organs

than other sharks, so it can search a larger area,

much like a wide-beamed flashlight,

and the position of the eyes

as its head sways from side-to-side

gives it 360-degree vision,

a great advantage for a deadly predator.

Massive hammerhead shark.

I’m looking for crabs in these little holes at the moment.

You can kind of see they have a little bit

of red and blue on them.

This is a bounty this morning.

Like, I’ve already got three crabs

in the space of about 5 minutes.

This is gonna be a good score to bring back to camp.

-Did you get a crab? -You got some brekkie?

Yeah! Look at you.

Steven: Yeah, great job.

There’s not even a mouthful of meat in each crab.

Chris: At most, it’s probably the same amount of calories per crab

as an M&M, maybe two M&M's.

Living on three M&Ms, four M&Ms a day,

that’s the caloric intake.

It’s great for morale, and it tastes good, but, I mean,

as far as really fueling your body with a necessity

and the necessary calories to continue another day

of hunting and stuff like that, it’s not even close.

Oh, here comes Ryan.

Chris: Any luck?

There’s all these little sharks around,

and they were, like, swimming, like, super close to me.

30 seconds after that, 10-foot [bleep] hammerhead

30 feet away from me. Still, like, shaking.

-Whaaat? -That was crazy.

Could you see his hammer? -Oh, yeah. He was close.

He kind of, like, went out a little bit further,

and then his dorsal was out for a good 2 minutes,

and he was just, like, floating around.

You could see his tail fin and his dorsal fin.

Ky: There’s a statistic in Australia that most shark attacks

happen within like 6 feet of water or something.

They’re out there.

That was... I don’t know, I’m just...

I don’t really care to be in the water after seeing that.

Steven: We have a torrential downpour right now,

so we are holding down,

and hopefully, it passes sooner than later.

Chris: Last night was a pretty tough one.

There was a huge storm, so it was windy all night

and almost put the fire out.

But we got through it. Sun’s up.

Ky: Slowly dying out here,

so we’ve got to get better at figuring these sharks out

and figuring out how we can find the food we need to eat.

Gonna go out there and give it a go.

Let’s go around the corner where there’s no wind.

Yeah. No wind on that side, cool.

All right, wish me luck. Ky: Don’t go out too far,

though, ’cause that current was super strong yesterday.

Was it super strong? Yeah.

Steven: We haven’t really had a substantial meal

in the past couple of days.

Our energy levels are super low, but I’m Steven Lee hall Jr.

I’m the king of the forest. I’m kind of a big deal.

I want to get in there.

There might be some sharks out there.

I don’t know, but I’m a provider.

I always have been. I’ve proved it

on all my other adventures and challenges.

Ky: Eva’s been a little bit nervous

about getting in with the sharks.

She is a desert girl.

I grew up by the ocean.

Today might be a perfect day

for a dive lesson if you’re up for it.

I would love that.

Ky: She wants a few pointers, specifically on how to get down

to interact with the sharks

and also a bit more about their behavior

and how to be around sharks.

Steven: There is lemon sharks all over the place.

Narrator: Lemon sharks get their name

because of their distinctive yellow color,

giving them incredible camouflage

in the sandy shallows.

These powerful sharks have been known to attack

If there is a fresh kill nearby.

Steven: They hang out in the shallows to keep away

from the hammerheads and the other bigger predators.

But a shark is still a shark,

and this is still incredibly dangerous.

It’s one thing to be in the water surrounded by little fish,

but when you got these predators coming in,

it’s a whole new ball game.

The main aim out here is you don’t want to attract

a shark’s attention, so any sort of frenetic movement

ls gonna mimic a distressed fish.

So the way I like to do it is when I’m under the water,

I really just move my fins slowly.

If you want to go in and just try kicking

and not using your hands and see how that works.

All right.

That looked great!

-Whoa. -Whoa! Holy [bleep].

That was really close.

The thing I’ve found with sharks is, like,

the calmer you are, the calmer they are.

-Totally. -If you start getting agitated,

then they start reacting to that.

-Definitely. -And we do have this stick,

so if one starts to come towards us,

we’ll just put it in front,

and it’ll act as a barrier between us and the shark.

Sharks have this super sensitive nose here.

I’ve seen great white sharks

being able to be pushed away from boats

just by directing their nose away.

Eva: This one shark comes at us,

and this is, like, going from kindergarten to college

in 2 seconds flat.

Whoa! Watch out!

Eva: Out of nowhere comes two and then three and then four sharks,

and they’re all just circling and coming at us

from all different angles.

Look out!

Look out!

Eva: My heart is pounding in my chest.

It was really intense to have those creatures

swimming around like that.

Ky: I feel kind of responsible, you know?

I was the one that was like, "yeah, it’ll be okay,"

and all of a sudden, here are these reef sharks,

but that’s the thing.

They’re wild animals.

You can never predict the behavior of a wild animal.

Ky: Your lesson was a trial by fire.

Eva: I would say so.

[ Sighs ]

Steven: The sun is relentless out here.

You got heat radiating above you.

You got heat radiating from the sand.

That’s a really, really bad situation.

Narrator: The sun in the Caribbean delivers

some of the strongest UV radiation in the world.

The water and the ocean’s sandy bottom

act like the sun’s magnifying glass,

increasing UV intensity by 50% more than on land.

Steven: It’s a hot one today, boy.

This salt, the wind, the heat combined,

all of these really do a lot to keep us from getting food.

I might have a bit of a sit for a second.

[ Sighs ]

Ky: Today is the day when you feel like your body’s finally started

to turn on itself.

Whoo, head spin.

Oh, hang on.

We are at that stage where our bodies

are really getting affected by the lack of food.

I probably got, like, 30 minutes of sleep last night, if that.

Feeling it.

Whoa.

Steven: I’m starting to feel fatigued.

When I stand up, I get the light-headedness.

Reactions are gonna be slower just ’cause of lack of food.

If you don’t get sleep, you get fatigued.

There’s dangerous rocks all over the place,

and all these sharks coming in.

One false move, and you’re out.

Ryan: Oh, nice. Is that green rope?

It’s got a hook! Oh, and there’s a hook.

Ryan and I just found some fishing line and a fishing hook.

The hook’s a little beat-up but...

-Here we go. -Man, they’re gonna be

excited about that one. -Score.

Never know.

Steven: What happened?

Ryan: Well, we found a giant bowl of monofilament.

No way! -What?!

And it had a hook.

-Oh, my god. -The hook’s a little rusted,

so we got to be careful.

-But still. -It’s a good 40 feet of line.

I think it opens the door of opportunities.

Oh, this is gonna be good, guys.

It’s game changing. -Yeah.

Steven: Some fishing line and a fishing hook,

it’s gonna be so beneficial

and such an amazing tool out here.

-Nice. Good score. -It’s a game changer.

Chris found a fishing line,

Ky: And he’s, like, a commercial fisherman,

so if he can’t bring anything out of these waters,

then nobody can.

I’m gonna go mess around with the sea lion

a little bit before it gets too hot.

Good lucky, buddy. -All right, man.

-Good luck out there. -Kick ass there, buddy.

Chris: We’ve had very little success in the water.

The days that we’ve had any kind of success,

the sharks show up.

With our experience and the strength of our team,

we should be thriving,

and it’s not from lack of effort or lack of knowledge.

It’s just, you know, lack of luck.

Oh, what do we got here?

Found a smashed-up little...

Looks like a little mangrove snapper.

Looks like something jammed that up pretty good.

I can use that as bait.

It’s been 5 days since we’ve had anything substantial to eat.

Fatigue is setting in.

We’re starting to get a little complacent.

One of the most frustrating things as a fisherman,

the competition with the sharks has been, like,

the biggest pain in the ass.

The shark just took my fish.

Oh, my [bleep]!

What the [bleep]?!

Oh, [bleep]!

The shark just took my fish.

Damn it.

Steven: What’s going on, bud?

Chris: So I’m walking down the point, and I see, like,

this little minnow, like, I don’t know if, like, an osprey

was picking at it or whatever.

So I’m like, "throw this [bleep] fish on,"

and 2 seconds later, 8-foot [Bleep] reef shark.

-No. -I was panicked.

I’m trying to get this line in as fast as I can

just to get the bait out of the water.

He took it, like, face above water, open mouth,

like, grabbed that thing... -Shut up.

...and then still kept coming to me.

Dude, I was like, "duces, I’m out of here."

Ky: These sharks are smart, and they’re learning fast

what our behaviors are and how that can help them get food.

-Wow. -It was insane.

Ky: We’re definitely gonna have to change some of our behaviors

because this isn’t working at the moment.

Ryan: Oh, I can’t really sleep.

The wind is just whipping, and it’s miserable.

Here’s the rain.

Aaand now it’s raining.

Just a little unsettling.

It’s, like, we get a few minutes, and then it rains.

Then we get an hour, and then it rains.

This tropical paradise keeps throwing us...

Curve balls left and right.

Ryan: The wind’s picked up a whole lot throughout the night.

The one in the middle. -Yeah.

Chris: Last night... brutal.

It was very windy. The wind switched direction.

It was out of the east, which we weren’t really prepared for.

Narrator: As the group approaches the end of their first week,

the winds have picked up significantly,

compromising their ability to look for food.

Ky: The wind is hammering this side of the island,

and the waves are so rough that there’s not a lot

we can do on a day like today.

Eva: This morning, I scraped my foot on a piece of coral,

and it’s just got a gnarly gash on the bottom,

and it just needs a couple days out of the water

just to get a scab formed.

Ky: We’re starving.

We’ve only caught one little snapper and a few small crabs.

I think this is probably the least amount I’ve eaten

out of either of my challenges.

In the everglades and South Africa,

we were eating abundantly.

Either daily or every other day.

Chris: Now, as far as bringing home the bacon,

I would say that we’re an absolute failure.

This weather has been a nonstop issue,

and the days that we’ve had any kind of success,

the sharks show up, so if it’s not one thing, it’s the other.

This is not a postcard here. -Yeah.

Eva: Every single one of us ls calorie-depleted.

You know, you feel it. You get light-headed sometimes

when you stand up.

Our brains aren’t working as quickly.

Our reaction times aren’t working as quickly.

Well, today’s got to be food-focused.

Steven: It’s impossible to try to fish here in the water,

and it’s too windy to take the dinghy.

We’re gonna have to trek maybe 4 or 5 miles all the way

down the side of the island to get away from this wind.

It’s a better environment for the fish we’re looking for.

Ky: The problem is that each day we’re out here

that we’re not getting food, we’re doing downhill quickly.

Steven: I want to get fish, and that’s our only option.

Ky: We don’t have a choice. We got to get out.

We got to keep moving and keep motivated to find food

because our situation will go down way faster

if we don’t get the protein.

I’m holding down the fort today, you guys.

I want to get my foot healed up.

I’ll stay with you. -Right on.

I don’t really have any desire to hang out with wild sharks.

In the last 7 days, I’ve encountered quite a few sharks.

I had an encounter with a 12-foot great hammerhead shark,

I had a couple lemon sharks... Holy [bleep]!

...come up and bump me right in the calf,

so I’ve had my fill of the sharks,

and I don’t really care to be in the water anymore.

There’s a reason why I don’t live near the ocean.

Well, fingers crossed we bring home food this time.

Eva: Awesome, be safe out there, guys.

-Hold down the fort. -Bring back some fish.

Yeah, that would be amazing.

Narrator: The group has been situated on the windward side of the island

for the last 7 days.

Now, Chris, Ky, and Steven have decided to undertake

a grueling 5-mile trek west to the leeward side

in hopes of finding calmer conditions

and a more viable food source,

where the sharks have not yet adapted to their behavior.

Steven: Yeah, it’s a trek for sure, so we got some walking to do.

If we don’t find a source of food and protein,

we’re gonna be in a lick of trouble.

We got to get food today.

Narrator: For the last 7 days, the team of all-stars

has been struggling to find food

in the shark-filled waters of Andros.

The shark just took my fish.

Eva is now immobilized with a foot injury

from the sharp coral,

and Ryan is reluctant to get back in the water

after a close encounter with a great hammerhead.

Holy [bleep]!

The team is depleted and sunburned,

and with a 5-mile water extraction ahead of them

and 7 days left, they are desperate for food.

Ryan: I think this is probably the least amount I’ve eaten

on either of my challenges.

The strong winds make it impossible to fish near camp,

so Ky, Chris, and Steven have decided to take a risk

and hike many miles west in search of calmer waters.

Steven: I want to get fish, and that’s our only option.

If we get eaten alive, we get eaten alive.

Ky: We got to get food today.

Yeah.

Ky: I actually have mad respect for Ryan

for laying down his boundaries.

Chris: Ryan’s very comfortable in the water.

He’s just not comfortable with the sharks.

For me, it’s the exact opposite.

I see a shark. I want to see it up close.

Usually the sharks I see are from the scallop boat.

Steven: This looks like a pretty good spot.

-Oh, look, needlefish. -Pike fish. Needlefish.

Yep. This is a lot more promising,

starting to see these darker pools, which is good.

It’s gonna be deeper water,

and deeper water holds more reef,

and that’s where the fish tend to hang out.

Shark. Right here, right here.

A little baby lemon.

You know what follows the baby lemon.

Yep, the hammerheads.

Steven: There are sharks everywhere, but we got to eat too.

Let’s make this worth the walk.

We’re all low on energy, between the sun,

the heat, the dehydration.

If we don’t start getting protein,

then we’re not gonna last too long.

Is the risk worth the reward?

I think so ’cause I’m gonna eat tonight.

-Be careful! -I’m gonna keep watch.

You see any fish?

Seems to be the theme of this island.

Man, I’m telling you.

-Hey. -Hey, how is it going out there?

Yeah, I got a bunch of crab.

That’s awesome. How far down did you go?

Oh, probably a mile and a half.

Gonna stay off that foot.

I’m just ready for this thing to be all healed up

so I can be firing on six cylinders again.

It’s so hard for me to stay put and not feel like

I’m doing something to forward our whole mission out here.

-Nice. -What you got?

-Ten. -Nice. Perfect.

Man, I wonder where those other guys are at.

Oh, I really hope they get a big fish.

I could use some mouthfuls of protein.

Got one!

-Nice. -That’s awesome! Yeah.

Bring it in quick! Get out of there!

Narrator: Steven must keep the bloody and wounded fish above water

and get it to shore as quickly as possible.

A shark’s olfactory receptors are extremely sensitive.

Any shark within the vicinity

will react rapidly to the fish blood

even at very low concentrations,

using its acute sense of smell to guide it to the source.

-All right. -Nice break!

Ky: You know what? It’s better than nothing.

A few more of these would make a really great meal

and would definitely be the difference

between us starting to turn the corner out here.

Guys! Got one! -Oh, good!

Oh, nice work! -Yeah!

-Whoo. -All right.

Oh, look at that! That’s huge! -That’s huge.

Two down, baby.

I’m feeling it.

I got the aim. I got the rhythm.

I’m really feeling the spear, I’m feeling the environment.

-Got one! -[Bleep]. He’s on fire.

What the [bleep]? You know, you’re a ninja.

Steven Lee hall, he’s an absolute spartan

with that spear. Got it!

Every time he went under the water... got one!

...he didn’t come up empty-handed.

Ky: That’s the biggest yet!

Steven: I’m pretty super elated right now.

What an amazing day so far.

Honestly, I can’t keep up.

-Got one. -Go, Chris! Success all around!

[ Bubbling ] Shark!

[ Normal voice ] Shark in the water! Shark in the water.

Oh, my god.

Get out of the water. -[Bleep].

Steven: With all that activity in the water,

you got all this blood,

and when sharks start moving in, you got to move out.

Well, how many we get?

Oh, I don’t... I’ve lost count, mate.

[ Laughing ] Look at that bag. This is nuts.

You’ve heard of the king of the forest?

Let me introduce you to the king of the ocean, my friend.

Poseidon’s my right-hand man.

Kind of a big deal. I keep telling you guys.

You guys got to take my word for it here.

Sometimes risk doesn’t equal reward,

but it sure as hell did today.

We made it! -Hey, guys.

-Welcome back. -I like the smile on his face.

You like the smile on my face?

That’s a kind-of-a-big-deal smile right there.

[ Laughing ] -Success?

We killed it, guys. -Yeah?

We are all gonna go to bed full tonight.

-Tell me more. -Let’s go up! Let me show you!

To come out here with an all-star team

and to be able to feed everybody and boost morale

is such a super blessing.

Let’s see what you got.

What?

-Thank you. -That’s amazing.

But, yeah, guys.

Ryan: Damn, we got a lot of cooking to do.

Chris: Steven Lee hall, he just killed it.

He definitely gets the gold star today.

What a great turning point for the second half.

We needed this day, you guys.

-So good? -Oh, my god.

Mmm, so much meat. Feels so good to chew.

Ky: So amazing, the one thing you take for granted

ls multiple chews on the same mouthful of food.

A shot of protein like that actually has

an almost instant effect.

I feel like I just powered up a level.

All we got to do is sustain this.

You got to think for extraction, too, you know.

That’s never an easy thing.

Ky: It’s an open-water extraction. They’re exhausting.

You’ve got to put up with the wind and the currents.

We’re gonna need a lot of calories and a lot of muscle

to be able to get to the extraction point.

Ky: If we could have a meal like this

the night before extraction.

Ryan: We keep eating like this, we may not want to leave.

[ Laughter ] Steven: Yeah, right.

Things never said on "naked and afraid."

[ Laughter ]

Eva: Whoo, it is so real right now.

Oh, god. -Yep.

Night seven was brutal, probably more rain in an hour last night

than we’ve had in the last 7 days.

-[Bleep] No. -[ Laughing ] Yes.

The weather has been probably our biggest thorn in our side.

It’s blown 30 miles an hour every single day.

Ky: I’m super excited.

You know, we’re gonna be able to get out on the dinghy.

We’re gonna be able to get a little deeper,

and that’s where the bigger fish are,

I mean, the bigger sharks but also the bigger fish.

Narrator: With the winds dying down,

the team plans to fish closer to their camp

and access the offshore reefs directly across from it.

Ky: It’s just good to check it out

because if we do have a source of fish closer to home,

then that’s just gonna keep us more well-fed

without burning up the energy we need yesterday.

-Sure. -Absolutely.

I’ll do that run with you. I don’t know

how helpful I can be, but I can keep watch.

How’s your foot feeling?

My foot seems like it’s well on its way to healing.

It’s not nearly as sore as it has been.

Okay, let’s do it! -Yeah.

Chris: You be safe.

I’m ready to be productive. We need to eat.

That’s really our race from here to the end...

How do we make it strong through extraction?

How about here?

This looks like a good spot.

Yeah, it does. -Yeah.

We should stay close together...

-Absolutely. -...And watch each other’s back.

I’ll keep an eye out for you guys for sure.

I would prefer to have someone on top at all times.

A person sitting in a boat raised above the water

can see black shapes moving toward you,

and they can point them out way faster

than I’m gonna see them under the water.

-All right. -Keep an eye out.

If you need us, tap the boat.

Yep.

There’s definitely bigger fish here than closer to shore!

Steven: Bigger fish means bigger sharks and bigger predators.

It’s something that we got to be careful with.

Another shark on the far side.

Steven: Three sharks! Three sharks in the water!

Be careful!

Steven: Wish we could spear some fish,

but with those sharks in the water,

the risk is not worth the reward.

The reef sharks start to circle,

and that’s not a good sign with these sharks.

They tend to circle their prey.

They do it with fish to sort of get them in a nice ball

so they can attack,

and also they attract bigger sharks out there,

so we need to get out of the water.

Eva: Whoa! Watch out!

Ky: Okay, back to the shore.

Ky: It’s getting dangerous down there.

It’s amazing how aggressive they could become.

[Bleep] [Bleep].

Today is the end of day 8.

Unfortunately, the mosquitoes are really bad tonight.

Whoo, they’re biting. -They are.

Ky: Ooh, must be the worst yet.

I don’t know if you can see the mosquitoes around me,

but they’re really something else tonight.

Steven: Well, the wind died down but kind of a catch-22 here.

Narrator: The stagnant puddles from the many rainstorms

have created the perfect breeding ground

for mosquitoes and sand fleas.

The mosquitoes are brutal.

About the size of a pencil tip,

the tiny sand fleas deliver a painful bite

that can cause ulcers and oozing sores.

Eva: All right. The sun’s officially set.

[Bleep] Now. -Seriously.

Eva: Oh, my god. I’m getting [bleep] consumed right now, dude.

They are so intense.

Ryan: Dude, these [bleep] bugs are on a mission tonight.

-Yeah, they are. -They’re out to kill.

Ay, ay, ay.

Does that mean they’re gonna be here all [bleep] night?

-Yeah. -[Bleep].

Oh, my god. The [bleep] bugs. -Whoo! Ay!

[Bleep] The mosquitoes [bleep].

-Go. -[ Groaning ]

Oh, my god. I’m getting [bleep] destroyed.

Last night was by far the worst night

out of all of our challenges ever...

Complete misery, torture.

Even the everglades didn’t compare to the sand flies

last night.

Ky: The sand fleas are so intense,

so we’ve been walking up and down the beach.

Standing in knee-deep water

is about the only place that it’s safe.

Steven: You’d think something so small

wouldn’t cause so much aggravation.

Yeah, they’re out in force right now.

Ky: Holy cow. They are all sand fleas.

Oh, my goodness.

We have the sharks, which are driving us into the beach,

and the sand fleas, which are driving us into the ocean.

Chris: It’s like the land doesn’t want us,

and the sea doesn’t want us.

Ky: And then the team tapped out on day 9.

This is the kind of thing that makes people tap out of

"naked and afraid."

Steven: We’ve got to get ready for the night...

Grab some firewood.

Extraction’s right up the road.

Morale’s down ’cause we’re tired.

We are in a very foreboding environment

that really doesn’t want us to be here to begin with,

but, you know, we still got to focus on firewood.

We got to focus on food, sleep, staying hydrated

to make sure that we get off this island alive.

Who brought this stuff? -I picked that up

just off the shore where we were gathering firewood.

Looks like lighter knot. -It does.

What’s lighter knot?

It’s when the tree dies and all the sap from the tree

just drains to the base into the stump.

It literally, like [snaps] goes up in flames.

-So, we got some torches. -Yeah, I was about to say

maybe we could make some torches...

Do something at night,

some land crabs. -Or lobster.

Ryan: Too bad we can’t find a citronella plant.

Yeah, right.

I got high hopes.

Would really like to get a lobster.

We haven’t seen any yet.

With the moon cycle starting to become closer to the full moon,

we’ll get a lot more light and have an opportunity

to do some night lobster hunting.

Lobsters are pretty nocturnal.

Narrator: Lacking claws, Caribbean spiny lobsters hide in crevices

during the day to avoid predators

such as the nurse shark.

Its unique curled and hinged mouth

enables it to suck prey off the ocean floor

into its powerful jaws.

The shark’s hundreds of tiny serrated teeth

can grind up shellfish, shrimp, and even sea urchins.

Yeah, I hope we get some lobster.

I think lobster heals bug bites.

[ Laughter ]

You guys ready to do this?

-It’s, like, awesome. -Look how well this fits.

Eva: The torches seem to be successful.

Luckily, we have the almost-full moon.

One thing, guys, we have seen sharks

in this depth of water.

And at nighttime, they’re a little bit more active.

Keep an eye out. Stay calm.

I don’t see [bleep] out here.

Wow. This is sketchy at night, man.

Watch these sea urchins, too,

’cause this is where I saw some this morning.

Look for, like, little tentacles poking out of these rocks.

Oh, there’s one there!

-Get it. -Get it.

All right! -Yeah!

[ Cheering ]

With the torch! -Nice.

That was amazing. Look at that thing.

This is primal, man.

Let’s see if we can find some more.

Dude, that’s a monster lobster.

Steven: One down. Dude, let’s keep going.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. -Oh, yeah.

I got him.

[ Cheering ]

Whoo! Two of them. -Two for two!

Good job.

This is exciting. I’m looking...

I’ve done a lot of stuff in my life.

This is one thing I’ve never done...

Hunted lobsters with a torch in shark-infested waters.

Eva: What a hunt!

Like, talk about a morale boost after today.

All right, back at camp, lobsters on the fire.

Ky: Holy... this is the best thing we’ve had out here.

Eva: Mm-hmm.

For such an ugly critter, it sure does taste good.

That is just something else, man.

Thank you, lobsters.

Chris: The lobster was amazing, but there are five of us,

so basically, it equaled calories

of a handful of a couple candies.

Got a crab.

-Got a crab? -It’s pretty little, though.

We need more food that we’re gonna need for extraction.

Check that out. -Yeah.

I mean, just more rope.

Ryan: We come across a bunch of cordage.

We’ll be able to make a good anchor with that.

Last time Ky and I got in the water,

It was basically just Stephen paddling in circles.

No, an anchor is key.

Yeah, if we’re gonna go out there.

Chris: How do you feel about getting back in that water?

Well, I’ve been pretty hesitant to get out very deep,

and after that hammerhead encounter, man, I don’t know.

Dude, I know you.

There’s five people in the world

that have got to do this, and we’re here right now.

Like, come on, dude.

This is the third-largest reef system in the world.

Last time we were there...

I mean, we didn’t have the opportunity to spear a fish

’cause of so many sharks, but, I mean, dude,

we could score.

How far out would we go? Just to the reef.

I mean, we got an anchor, so, I mean, we’ll both be

in the water at the same time.

You know, I got your back, you know?

Of course, yeah. Man, if it’s you and I

going out there, I’ll give it one more.

I’ll give it one more. Cool.

-Good? -Yeah.

-Right in the bow. -Right in the bow.

Ryan: You know, Chris and I, we bother served

in the United States marine corps,

but he’s a commercial fisherman.

He has lots of experience on open waters,

so I would ride or die for that guy.

We really, really desperately... we need more food

no matter how fearful or scared that you are.

I’ll keep a look for sharks.

I don’t see sharks. Great.

Ryan: As soon as I entered the water, it’s terrifying.

Sharks are downright scary.

My adrenaline’s through the roof.

Oh, my god.

-Yes! -Nice.

Yeah!

-Whoo! -Dude, what is that?

Whoo!

All right.

First one on the spear!

We got fresh blood in the water, so let’s keep an eye out.

There’s a shark!

Holy [bleep].

Yo, get out of the water. -That is a big reef.

In the boat. In the boat. In the boat.

He is right below me.

There’s a shark! -[Bleep]!

-Holy [bleep]. -That [bleep] got personal.

That was too close. Oh, [bleep].

Ryan: I really don’t know a whole lot about sharks aside from the fact

that if they get too close in the water, don’t move,

and just don’t make any aggressive motions

towards that shark.

That is a big reef.

The sharks become aggressive,

and you should bump the reef shark in the face

or the nose to get them to go away.

That was no joke. [Bleep].

Chris: The level of aggression from zero to 100,

it’s just unbelievable how fast that happens.

You ready to get out of here? -We need to get out of here.

Oh, my god. He’s right under us.

[Bleep] Sharks keep coming to the boat.

He’s coming back. Right here on top.

Here he comes! Here he comes! -It’s another one!

-No. -Holy [bleep].

Ryan: I was not expecting that reef shark to come

and basically attack the boat. Maybe it wanted the fish.

Maybe it wanted us. I’m not really sure.

[Bleep].

Chris: That amount of aggression from a shark

blew my mind, blew both our minds.

These sharks aren’t playing. They’re here to eat.

They’re not here to share.

We can’t get out of here fast enough.

Narrator: With 3 days left and a grueling extraction ahead of them,

the depleted team desperately needs a big food score,

but the sharks are becoming more aggressive and fearless,

so they decide to fish close to camp and hope for the best.

So what you don’t want to do is pull it out of his mouth.

Yeah.

It would be so great to be able to successfully

bring in some fish for the team.

It would be a game changer for me.

I’m determined to not be the weakest link.

You’ll feel when he comes,

and just start pulling it in hand-wise.

Oh, felt it. They’re biting.

Just like that. Just let it sit.

Yes. Come on.

-Eva! -Yay, I caught a fish.

-Nice. -Shut up.

So watch the spine pull back. -Yeah. This is cool.

First time handline, fish right off the bat.

Not bad.

-There he is. -Here we go. Number... [bleep] Eva!

-Nice. -Get ahead.

Eva’s gold starring today, baby. She caught another...

-There he is. -I’m really sorry, buddy.

...and another. [Bleep].

Damn. There we go. -Go, girl!

Her name’s Eva. She’s kind of a big deal.

[ Chuckles ]

Eva: Lt was so cool just to bring in those fish right off the bat.

So right now, I’m just all choked up.

I’m all, like, a big ball of emotion right now, so...

I caught four fish! -Hell yeah, Eva!

-Yeah! -Dude!

Ah!

-I’m so proud of you, Eva. -I’m all, like, teared up.

I’m all, like, "oh, my god, you guys. I caught fish!"

-That’s dope. -Thank you, Eva.

Oh, my pleasure, you guys.

Eva: Fed the whole team dinner.

It’s like, I’m here, I’m alive,

I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing,

and I’m in the right place

at the right time doing the right thing.

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

I’ve been, like, sitting around feeling like

I haven’t done anything to, like, get us to extraction.

I feel like this is the worst I’ve ever been,

but I think we say that every day.

Oh, [bleep] You.

-Yeah. -I don’t think I’m gonna get

sleep tonight if it’s like this.

I think I’m gonna go nuts.

Everybody’s covered in bug bites.

Yeah, they’re everywhere.

It takes a real strong will to not go crazy.

Try keep them off of us. Ah, [bleep].

It’s the biggest thing out here, is figuring out how to stay sane

when there’s bugs biting you all over.

Whoo, ay!

Ridiculous.

These bugs [bleep] suck.

The bugs were plague-worthy, and human beings,

they just don’t belong here.

Does anyone know what they contribute to the ecology?

I got over 60 days in these challenges,

and for me, last night was the worst night

of any of the challenges.

It was just, like, one of the most mentally draining

and taxing things I’ve ever encountered in my life.

Ryan: Can we just stay in here for the next 48 hours?

It was complete torture.

We’re ready for extraction.

I ain’t doing another last night.

Chris: What we really need is a break from the bugs,

so we might go to the extraction point a day early.

Steven: This island, obviously, does not want us here anymore.

So we’re, like, over here on this side.

So I’m thinking we do just a little hop, skip and a jump

to this little, mini island over here.

That one thing, though, there isn’t any water on this island.

Chris: The way the bugs have been the last couple nights,

that can’t be any worse than here... yeah.

...and maybe a change of environment

will be a change in the bugs.

This is gonna be a trek. -Yeah.

Eva: That big, open water, and that must be a blue hole right there.

Narrator: To reach their extraction point,

the survivalists must leave the relative safety

of the shallow waters and travel

5 miles into the treacherous open ocean

to an extraction point in the middle of a blue hole...

A large marine sink hole known to attract

the largest and deadliest sharks.

Eva: We can’t just go kicking our way into shark-infested waters

in the middle of an open ocean.

We have five people that are not gonna fit in this dingy.

Well, that’s true.

I spotted this industrial shipping piece of Styrofoam

for major big docks,

and that piece of Styrofoam could be a huge resource for us

to get out of here on extraction.

Damn, that thing ls gonna float.

Steven: That thing can’t not float.

-Where did this thing come from? -Under a dock.

Yeah. -Huh.

We decided to turn the foam that we found into a raft.

I figure we just take a knife, measure it evenly

all the way around, and we’ll just score it,

and we’ll take this green cordage

and we’ll just saw it.

It’s a good score.

This is no easy task.

[ Cheering ]

Eva: Look at it.

Yeah, right now, we’re gonna cannibalize the shelter.

We just need the boards, right?

Wow, they’re just, like, swarming under here.

Oh, look at these here. -Ugh. [Bleep].

There’s so many of them.

We just built a sand fly incubation kit.

Ah!

Rope is super old. -Yeah, it is.

We’ve got the two pieces latched together

with a bunch of driftwood.

I’m hoping that it’s seaworthy.

I know it’s gonna be a lot safer

than just swimming into open waters full of sharks.

-Solid. -Donesky.

-Nice. -Absolutely.

Teamwork makes the dream work, guys.

Evening 12, moon is out here in Andros.

You know, paradise where it’s 50 degrees at night,

nothing but great white sharks with wings

that bite you all evening.

Ky: Just want to get the [bleep] out of here.

Good morning, day 13

means day 1 of our 2-day extraction.

We have quite a bit of paddle today,

so that should be quite the adventure.

Ky: We’re a little bit worried about not having any drinkable water,

so I’m just filling our last pot full of water.

This could be a great signaling tool.

[ Conch blares ]

-Perfect. -All right.

Maybe we need it for extraction. We don’t know what’s gonna pick us up.

All right. Awesome.

I am absolutely tired of this biblical plague

that keeps infesting us every night,

so I’m ready to get on the water,

get to island one and get to extraction tomorrow.

Ryan: The unknown that lies ahead.

Eva: I’ve done water extractions before.

We crossed the Orinoco river,

which is the third-largest river in the world,

on our 40-day extraction.

This is bigger than that, though.

I’m hoping today goes smooth, that our raft holds well.

Eva: Definitely keep an eye out for stingrays.

Chris: There’s a stingray in front of you.

Or something. It’s moving pretty quick.

Oh, moving off to the right there?

Steven: No, he’s too fast for a stingray.

That’s what I was thinking.

I think it’s right there. -Shark. There’s its fin.

Quick, don’t move. Don’t move. Coming back.

Coming back your way.

Ky: There he is. Can you see him?

-Just here. -Oh, yeah. I see.

Ryan: Just a little bit further out is where I saw that hammerhead.

Eva: Holy [bleep].

Guys, we need to get out of here.

Chris: All right! We’re out of here.

Eva: We’re paddling smack into the middle

of shark-infested waters in order to get rescued,

and we have a raft that’s made out of trash

that we strung together with a rope we found on the beach.

If that doesn’t get your adrenaline pumping,

nothing will.

Ryan: Sun’s for real today, isn’t he?

Hoo, it’s getting warm.

Steven: Dude, my back’s on fire, period.

Guys, there’s a freaking reef shark over here on my left.

-Holy [bleep]. -Oh, he’s coming up behind us.

-Oh, he’s circling. -Oh, there’s another one.

We’ve got two reef sharks behind.

Ryan: We got another one coming in off the right.

Two more.

Okay, now we’ve got four around us.

They’re circling.

[ Whoa’s ]

Ryan: He just bit my paddle! [Bleep].

Oh, my god!

Anybody want some coconut? -Here, give me it.

[ Groaning ]

[Bleep].

I think I just [bleep] up my tooth.

Oh, my god. Look at that.

-Oh. -Holy crap!

-Did you bite into the shell? -I bit right into the shell.

That’s, like, just dangling by a thread.

Are you gonna pull that thing out?

I’m pulling it our right now.

Whoa.

-Oh, yeah. -Oh, my god.

It just came right out.

-Ow. -Wow.

Eva: That’s so classic Stephen.

Like, he is definitely the kind of guy

to perform his own dental work

with, like, a giant chopper knife in one hand.

Sharks average about 30,000 teeth

in their lifetime that they go through,

so next time you’re at the dentist, wish you were a shark.

-Ah, you look like a pirate. -Oh, my god. [Bleep] Idiot, bro.

Life’s a trip, man.

Steven: Shark!

Oh, my god! -[Bleep]!

We’ve got two. We’ve got two reef sharks behind us.

-[Bleep]. -We got another one

coming in off the right. -Yeah.

-Two more. -Watch out!

Oh, it’s coming up behind you. -Oh, my god!

We have over eight or nine sharks circling us.

-Yo, over there. -Whoa! He just bit my paddle!

The sharks, from the splashing of the paddles,

attacked our boat and attacked our paddles.

Ky: Okay, now we’ve got four around us, guys. They’re circling.

Steven: When they’re that aggressive that they’re gonna hit

anything that makes a splash in the water,

and we’re just trying to get out of here.

-Oh! -Whoa!

Ryan: That is a big reef.

Look how fast he is. -[Bleep].

Ryan: That many sharks,

the aggressiveness of their behavior,

biting our paddles, they are 100 times stronger than us.

You know, that homemade raft,

a couple bites out of that Styrofoam, and it’s over.

This is sketchy as [bleep].

Let’s get out of here.

Man, we can’t get to extraction soon enough.

Sun is draining me.

Steven: I’ve been paddling for hours. I’m about to die.

There it is, guys.

Chris: Shark island.

Damn, dude, is there any [Bleep] shade on this island?

Steven: Doesn’t look like much of anything on this island.

-No. -No.

Hopefully, there’s no sand flies, either.

Chris: Thank god we didn’t start on this island.

I’m about to jump out and drag this [bleep].

Lean over center, buddy. In the center.

[Bleep].

Ryan: That was brutal.

I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

Ky: I’ll keep shark watch.

Steven: That is a gnarly shore, right there.

-Yeah. -Oh, my god.

Eva: It’s rugged beyond belief, isn’t it?

Ryan: Well, it’s not much, but it’s good enough for one night.

It’s like a little patch of razor-sharp moon rock

in the middle of the ocean.

Eva: Watch your feet there, guys, coming on shore.

Ryan: We can’t walk on this island because 90% of it is lava coral.

You know, last night out here.

I think that we can put up with a lot.

Yeah.

Need to rest up, too. That was a hard paddle.

That was ridiculous.

One night, dude. That’s it.

Chris: You know, everyone’s tired, everyone’s licking wounds,

and I’ve had, probably 1,000 calories in 14 days,

so I took a beating today.

I’m pretty tired to say the least.

But I don’t think there should be any bugs

here tonight, either.

Steven: This is one gnarly island.

Ky: Day 14.

We have a trek to do today.

One thing we don’t have ls any water left.

So, that’s what we had to get us through a 4-mile paddle,

so, hopefully we don’t have any heat casualties along the way.

Triple check the map here.

Ky: I reckon this lump of trees here on the map

is this lump of trees in the distance here.

We got this deep, dark, blue-hole channel, you know?

Deeper water, bigger sharks. -Absolutely.

High tide’s in our favor.

Watch right behind you. You got them rocks.

The islands don’t want us here anymore.

Steven: We got a journey. We’re traversing

a bunch of ocean out there, and there’s a big hole out there,

and big holes hold big fish,

and big fish bring even bigger sharks.

Slow and steady.

All you can really do is cross your fingers, you know,

give a prayer to the big guy upstairs,

and hope we make it to that red X.

Chris: Man, I am [Bleep] thirsty.

My [bleep] arms are on fire.

Chris: We’re tired and feeling a little dizzy, a little lightheaded.

We just have to be alert and not make any mistakes.

You now, one little lapse in judgment

could end up getting somebody seriously hurt.

Ky: We need to be really careful

because we’re alone in the water,

and I really don’t want us capsizing over that blue hole.

Steven: The bottom’s starting to drop out.

It looks like it’s getting a lot deeper.

Chris: Damn, this water is getting dark up here.

That’s got to be the hole.

It’s gonna be kind of scary ’cause you got to think

we’ve been able to see the bottom.

Ky: In the shallows you can see the sharks coming,

but we’re not gonna be able to see them coming at this depth.

Steven: There’s gonna be big apex predators.

Literally, our head’s gonna be put on a swivel

because if it’s not, we could be put in a real bad situation.

-Wow. This is deep. -It just, like, dropped off.

Ryan: It’s like an infinite abyss down there.

Narrator: This 200-foot-deep hole ls called shark hole

by the local fisherman who refuse to cross it.

Eva: We’ve got to be getting close to the extraction point.

As large apex predators have been spotted

prowling its depths, among them the aggressive bull shark...

Which has over 50 rows of teeth

and a massive bite force of over 1,300 pounds...

And the tiger shark, which can grow up to 20 feet long

and is known as the waste basket of the ocean

because of its tendency to eat anything in sight.

Ky: Hey, guys, there’s something under the boat here.

-What the hell is that? -He’s coming up underneath us.

-Oh, yeah. -Oh, watch your paddle.

Watch your paddle. He’s right here.

Eva: Oh, my god there are three sharks around us right now.

One, two, three.

We just broke the foam!

Our raft’s going down, guys. -[Bleep].

Ryan: Guys, we need to get out of here.

Where the hell is this extraction vehicle?

Eva: Holy [bleep]. They’re circling our raft right now, you guys.

Hey, check that out! -Whoo!

We’re over here! [ Conch blares ]

[ Whooing ]

Hey! Over here! -We’re here!

Seeing that rescue vehicle full -throttle

speeding towards us, that’s an incredible moment.

Ryan: We’re ecstatic to be getting out of there,

getting out of that water,

and there are over a dozen sharks

just swimming around checking us out,

and I think I’ve had enough of those.

Ky: I can’t believe the raft just made it.

[ Whews ]

Oh, this is awesome.

Eva: I came in with a lot of apprehension.

And I was thinking, "well, who am I

to come into this environment

and think that I can survive here?"

But it was really awesome to know

that having a strong set of survival skills in my core

helped me get through to day 14.

Steven: What a freaking adventure, dude.

Going through a challenge like this just humbles you

in a way that you really can’t even describe.

See ya! [ Cheering ]

-Yeah! -We’re out!

We’re out!

My opinion and expectation on sharks before coming here

has done a complete 180-degree turn.

To compare them to anything, it’d be the the main black bear.

You’re in their home. You’re in their environment,

and we all just need to respect each other,

and they are absolutely incredible, amazing creatures.

See you, Andros!

This experience has just driven me further

to want to know more about these apex predators,

and it just makes me want to hang out with them more.

Saw some sharks. Got a nice tan.

Good to go, baby. -Time to go home.

Whoo! [ Laughter ]

[ Cheering, conch blaring ]

This is my favorite part about finishing

a "naked and afraid" challenge.

Oh, yeah. [ Garbled I I brush my teeth.

Oh yeah, there’s some good dreads in there. Mmm.

Gonna have to get that fixed when I get home.

First meal. Mm-hmm.

I feel like a new person.

Just like that, and my adventure becomes a memory.
