Original subtitles

You know, I always say that I'm done, I've proven myself,

I've done all the challenges I need to do.

Twenty one days in honduras

40 days in the philippines and 60 days in louisiana,

But I honestly just couldn't resist africa.

You know, we're not even close to being the apex predator here.

There's animals everywhere.

If you look right there, we have a giraffe.

Oh, wow.

I thought I had done my last challenge,

But you know, never say never.

You know, I've been able to do a 14-day fan challenge

You know, a 21-day tribes challenge,

A 60-day freaking legends challenge...

and then, come back and do a solo.

At this point, I feel like I've done everything I could possibly do

On naked and afraid except for be a mentor or a leader to a rookie.

Knowing that I'm gonna be paired with a legend,

I just have to push myself so much harder to be a great partner

And really just step up my game.

This is crazy.

I think that they're obvious gonna have a lot of experience and know how

In a situation like this that I'm gonna be able to learn from.

Each pair of one legend and one rookie

Will have to survive in two separate camps for the first 10 days.

If they make it to day 11, they will merge

And attempt to complete the challenge as a single tribe.

To me, it's okay if they don't have as many survival skills

Because I have them and I can share that with them.

This opportunity to help them get to the finish line

And realize their dreams is pretty epic.

Can the legends teach their rookies to survi 21 days in south africa?

Or will the student become the master?

It's so hot and nast I wanna go.

Right now, it's exciting.

I think once I'm actually naked, it'll be scary.

I think this is gonna be one of the most challenging things

I've done in my life.

I think it'll be hard every step of the way.

But I think it'll be rewarding.

Boy, it's game time.

I'm michaelyn, I'm from new castle, pennsylvania

And I'm a small business own of a construction company.

I guess this is it.

Starting to make it happen again, caught with my pants down.

My name is noah. I'm from bozeman, montana and I am an outdoorsman.

Here we go.

Getting naked in the middle of nowhere. It's.

It never gets easier.

All right, ain't nothing to it, but to do it.

Hello.

Hey.

- It's nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

Hi, I'm rylie.

- I'm noah. Good to meet you. - Nice.

- It's exciting to find you out here. - Yeah.

We're gonna rock it. We're in it.

You were actually my top female choice

- For a legend to be paired with. - What? Oh, my gosh.

- That's awesome. - You know, you made it to the end

Of the 60-day challenge.

- You're a great hunter, you've got a great attitude. - Thank you.

- Where are you from? - I am from bozeman, montana

And I'm a house painter.

And I've been a competitive snowboarder.

I am a mountain man.

I've spent my whole life in the rocky mountains.

I think my strengths in a survival setting

Are fishing, shelter buildin and my willpower.

I can suffer with the best of them through anything.

So I'm comfortable in the co and in gnarly weather.

Noah's a quick learner and team player,

But he lacks experience in a desert environment.

He begins with a primitive survival rating of 5.7.

I know it's gonna get rough sometimes but I think if you keep a good vibe,

And your little laugh and have fun together, then we're gonna do it.

- Perfect. - We're gonna crush it.

Based on her previous accomplishments,

Rylie begins with a psr of 9.1.

Being paired with a legend out here

Is such an amazing opportuni

And such a huge asset to have as a team member.

I'm hoping for a male partne

Normally, I work better with guys when it comes to teamwork.

I think I see somebody.

- He-yo. - Hi, partner.

- How's it going? - Good, how are you?

Good.

- It's like a crazy blind date, right? - Yeah.

Max.

- Michaelyn. - Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too. - Bring it in, bring it in.

Yeah.

I might not be the legend you wanted, but the legend you got.

Oh, I'm so excited.

- This is gonna be awesome. Cool. - Yeah. Absolutely.

So where are you from?

- Pennsylvania, yep. - Pennsylvania, nice.

I grew up in a military family and on a farm,

So I was always around guns and in the last couple of years with my fiance,

We've really got into archery hunting.

And that's a big passion of mine.

I'm doing this challenge because in 2019,

My dad underwent a double lung transplant.

And through the whole journe he never complained once

And just seeing what he was able to push his body throug

Motivates me to come out here and just take on this challenge

And see what I'm made of.

Michaelyn is a fearless optimist,

But has never braved the african bush.

She starts with a psr of 5.9

the buildup to knowing that I was partnered with a legend,

But not knowing who it was, it's a huge relief just to finally meet max.

Excited to have him as a partner.

He's never tapped out.

That's just awesome. I know his mindset is gonna be in the game.

And I wanna meet you where you're at,

- So we can cross this together. - That would be awesome.

Yeah, for sure. We got 21 days to just kill it.

So, I'm just excited because you've been through this whole journey

- At every stage of it. - I've been a rookie before.

- Yeah, so I know what it's like. - Yeah.

Based on his previous experience,

Max starts with a primitive survival rating of 9.5.

- So let's, uh, check out what we got here. - Sure.

Let's check it out.

Each team has been given a pot to sterilize water

And a fire starter because fire is essential to ward off predators.

Each teammate also brought a personal survival item.

I brought my knife.

Awesome.

Trusty knife, can't go wrong.

So I brought my bow.

I do the solo challenge here in south africa actually.

So and I took down two impalas with it.

So hopefully we can get something like that.

That's impressive. Put some dinner on the table.

Put some dinner on the table.

All right, so I've got a primitive fishing kit.

That means we're gonna eat for sure.

- Yes. - Absolutely, we got lots of stuff to work with here.

- What did you bring? - I brought my knife with me.

- Nice. Okay. - So...

- Also brought with me, my glasses. - Nice.

- Yeah, if you can't see... - I won't be useless at night time.

Actually have...

- oh, the map. - The map.

So, looking at where we are, I think the best thing we wanna do

Is maybe head towards this water.

And then we have our merge point,

- There's some other legends out here. Yeah. - Oh, wow.

- So we definitely wanna be going more over here. - Yeah, okay.

- That way. - Yeah.

And then, so it looks like we have water right here.

- That's where we wanna head. - So we probably wanna head there.

- Let's get going. - All right.

Cool.

Both pairs have been left to survive in nama karoo,

A vast south african desert.

Home to the world's most dangerous predators.

The land's pure beauty can be deceiving.

Blinding rains and wind appear out of nowhere.

And with 90 degree days, and 40s at night,

The temperature swings are as unforgiving

As the sharp and scorching terrain.

A bit rough and hot.

Both pairs will be trekking

More than three miles to their water source.

They'll be watching out for 300 pound warthogs with flesh piercing tusks.

Mozambique spitting cobras, one of southern africa's deadliest snakes.

Whose venom can blind you in an instant.

And leopards, the strongest of the big cats.

These merciless predators have a top speed of 36 miles per hour,

Leap 20 feet...

And swiftly kill prey with one powerful bite.

So, uh, what skills do you bring in?

- Well, I'm a hunter. - Yeah?

- And I grew up trapping. - Nice.

- Yeah, boat and shelter making... - Yeah.

- When we were young playing in the woods. - Nice. Yeah. For sure.

- I think that's kind of how we all started, right? - Yeah.

Stoked to have michaelyn on my squad.

She is in the right headspac to do well in this challenge

I've had some pretty bad luc with partners in the past.

I'm ready to tap.

Are you serious?

Dude, you're not my boss, so stop acting like it, all right?

Well, then start working.

Get me out!

I'm not trying to jinx myself,

But hopefully have cured the partner curse.

We'll see what happens, but I'm feeling pretty good about it.

Looks like there might be a tiny, little game trail here.

- If you wanna scoot. - Oh, yeah.

Good eyes.

They've, uh, they've beaten it down for us.

That's why you're the legend.

They like the path of least resistance,

We like the path of least resistance.

Yeah, follow the locals, huh?

- Feet are burning. - Yeah, it's hot.

All right, I got something in my foot. It's killing me.

Everything's trying to stab you out here.

This is one of the toughest locations I've been to

And it feels like you're walking on a hot roof

In the middle of summer. It hurts.

Ooh. There's a tiny, sharp plant right there.

Oh. Again.

Now you see why everything around here has hooves.

Yeah.

This might be maybe my worst insertion hik that I've ever done.

I've been on the islands, I've been in the jungles,

I've gone through the swamp in north america.

Africa's totally different.

You're stepping on sharp shale and slate, that's jabbing you in the feet.

If you're not stepping on it, then you're stepping into thorns.

I mean, literally, every step is incredibly painful.

Oh, it's a freakin' kudu head.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, wow.

- Dope, right? - That's awesome.

- Sick. - Yeah.

- We gotta decorate our place with it. - Keeping that.

Yep.

Oh, damn.

Dope.

Look at that.

Whoo.

Oh, that's beautiful.

It's an oasis.

- Wow. - Heck yeah.

After you see the water, you know you're pretty much close to your survival area

It's such a relief 'cause we were trekking for three plus hours,

Almost like three or four miles, it's tough.

It's a sigh of relief that we collectively feel

In order for us to, you know, keep pushing forward.

Wonder how the other crew's doing.

Well, we're doing pretty good, so I hope they're doing just as well.

Just completely numb right now.

- Goodness. - You can take as long as you need.

Yeah.

- Like, this whole side of my foot is numb. - Oh, really?

Like, I can move it, but I can't feel it.

I just don't know what's going on with my foot.

The fact that my foot is completely numb is kind of scary.

- Is it getting worse? - Yeah.

It's not what you want on the insertion walk.

No.

As a legend, I know the stakes

And I know how serious it is to be really, really struggling

Just on the walk itself.

This looks kind of nice right here.

Yeah, this looks promising.

I can see us living here.

We just need to fill on up all these walls.

Make this, like, our front door.

It's far enough from the water,

So animals can still move in and out.

- What are you thinking? - I like it.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Hell yeah. We just gotta find thorns, so we can pack in all these walls here.

There's predators everywhere

You have to set up in order to prevent these animals

From flowing into your space

So, thorns are absolutely critical in order to discourage any predators

And maybe grabbing one of us by the leg or freakin' devouring us.

Just gonna toss this guy in there.

Max has been a great mentor.

He's done this challenge so many times.

He knows it inside and out.

And just he's been a great partner.

I couldn't ask for anybody better.

Let me know if I'm mansplaining too.

- Tell me to shut up. - No, you're fine

Rylie, I'm seeing some water.

- Yeah, just a little bit. - Look at that. There we go.

It feels nice.

- We did it. - We did it.

It was a long, long, long walk.

- It sure was. - We gotta figure out where we wanna set up camp.

So we just finished our insertion hike and it was absolutely brutal.

I mean, my left foot is completely numb.

Don't know why, but it is, I have basically a flat tire.

How are your feet feeling?

This foot is still numb.

So I'm a little worried.

Like, it doesn't seem very normal, so...

Rylie's foot isn't getting better. In fact, it's getting worse.

Obviously, getting nervous, getting worried for her safety,

But also having a partner for the challenge.

I definitely don't wanna be out here alone.

Something's going on with it.

I wonder if you, like, pinched a nerve or something.

Ah, don't say that.

Could you get the medic?

I just can't imagine having to tap on day one.

I would be absolutely devastated.

I wonder if you, like, pinched a nerve or something.

Ah, don't say that.

Could you get the medic?

It just feels real numb.

There's no discoloration, inflammation.

Almost like my foot is asleep. Permanently.

Yeah, it's probably taking a toll on the walk.

- I don't think it's serious. - You think it'll just go away?

It should, after a couple of nights' rest.

- Keep your foot up. - Keep it up?

Okay, well, we don't have too much time.

My left foot is completely numb,

But there's no time to slow down.

There's no time to sit and nurse our wounds because it's getting dark,

It's incredibly dangerous he at night.

We have to get our boma buil and, you know, we're going in a hurry.

What do you think about just piling crap all around this?

Around this spot here.

I mean, it's... Sun's getting down there, we gotta do something.

We got our boma locked in. We gotta get a fire going.

Come on. There you go, yeah, throw it down, throw it down.

- It worked. Dope. - Awesome.

- We have fire. - Yeah.

Fire!

Now that we got the fire going,

We gotta put a pot on the fire in order to get some water.

You know, we're gonna get it boiling and then, throw in the water,

Cool it down as fast as possible, so we can hydrate up

And then, continue pushing forward.

It's still pretty hot.

Definitely the hardest I've ever had to work

Just to get a drink of water

- So good. Mmm. - Ah.

That whole hike in here, I'm just... That's all I was thinking about.

Bring us back to life.

I think curl it this way, huh?

Yeah.

We can't be sitting ducks. We are prey here.

There are large predators.

The question is not like, will we get a moment tonight. We have to.

I'm going to blow on it a little bit.

By the time we got even remotely close to here,

It was my entire foot. And it's shooting up pins and needles up my leg.

Is it any better if you're not stepping on it?

The pins and needles are not doing it unless I step.

- Okay. - But yes, my foot is still completely numb.

Once we get that first meal, then it's like yeah, baby.

And I know as long as I can just get to that finish line.

It's the unknown, right?

- Well, I'm not leaving. I'm here. - Okay, cool.

- For 21 days, I'm here. - For 21 days.

How are your feet feeling after yesterday?

Pretty I mean, except the left one which is just a flat tire.

My foot today is still numb

But I'm not trying to let it bother me

And I just have to be carefu where I'm stepping

Because there's lots of thorns.

Look, there's a... There's a fish sitting under there...

Underneath that floating pile of algae

Just lying in there. Yeah.

I'll be here. It's gonna try to turn around, but I think I could hit it.

We could catch this catfish without fishing line at all.

- You tell me when you're ready. - I'm good.

Got him.

- Nice. - Yeah.

Hell yeah.

And it's like, cold from a refrigerator almost.

Yes. Rylie is absolutely proving her legend status out here.

Get it with a machete. Who would have thought?

Gonna cruise for a little bit and just kind of do a recon.

- I would check for like, maybe clams and crabs. - Okay.

Hopefully, one of us comes back with lunch. -mmm-hmm.

- Good luck. Yep. - Thank you.

First day, kind of just checking out how things are moving around.

When I came in through the valley here along the water source,

There's tracks everywhere.

So this looks like a really good vantage point.

I just need to get up there and get a good view.

I see a warthog.

I should have just waited a little bit longer.

I was like, that far from a vital shot

- Just right over his head. - Took off.

- It's been low and slow over here, so. - Cool.

I just want to make sure it's cooked thoroughly.

Really the best way for us to get all the nutrients

And everything that this fish has to offer

While also hydrating is to boil the fish in a sort of stew.

I guess be mindful that there's a lot of bones still in here.

Drink it up.

Cheers.

Our first wild meal.

Day two, huh?

That's pretty cool.

It's a little gnarly. Just got to get past the chunkiness.

I got a shot off on a... A big old sow. I was so close.

If I would have waited like, two more seconds. Have you seen any movement?

- I've got nothing at all. - No?

Yeah.

Warthog.

Got him. He's bleeding out. Got him.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

He's bleeding a lot right here.

I'm just gonna follow this blood trail all the way up.

You know, I can't go face-first into this thing.

These things have razor sharp tusks.

They will cut you in half, slice open your face.

Face down in that hole, you're good as done.

Since max is gone today,

I just want to do everythin I can do to be a good partner here.

I'm gonna build a smoker and manifest

That he comes home with uh, dinner for us tonight.

I found three trees and they are going to form a tripod.

I'm going to use the branche already on them

To layer thin pieces of meat to make jerky.

It's been almost three hours.

I haven't heard anything for a while.

I'm going to sus it out.

Oh, my god.

She's beautiful.

This is one of those super human moments

Where you just throw 150 pounds on your back

And trek legit a mile to go feed your family.

This thing's like 150 plus pounds.

- Congratulations. Whoo! That's awesome. - Whoo!

Oh, my gosh.

- We'll have bacon tonight. Bring it in. - Let's go.

Nasty hog.

Day three. This is what legends do.

Me being able to provide for my partner, for my rooki

Is one of those experiences that will stay with me forever.

So we'll get this all processed up,

The rest of the meat smoked and we'll be good to go for a couple of days now.

So right now I'm setting up the rest of the smoker

That michaelyn already set u

Like, what the... That's insane.

Like, get a kill, come back and like, a process is already started.

You know, she's acting like a vet.

She's not acting like a fan or a rookie.

- Have you ever skinned a hog? - We used to raise pigs.

We would butcher them, but I was young.

- But you still know what's up. - Yeah.

Let's go.

- I got two legs. - Neat!

- I got the... - love it.

Brought home the freakin' bacon

And uh. We're gonna have a feast tonight.

Looks like I got heart. I got heart.

Are you kidding me?

I mean, you just grabbed it.

- Dinner. - Yes.

- Yes, alright. - Good work. man.

I think rylie definitely offers a lot of experience

And important information out here.

I think it would be very difficult to do it on my own.

I don't know if I could.

Yeah, at this point, you've been doing this for a while.

It's... I always say like, always be a student,

Sometimes a teacher, but never an expert.

'cause I think the second you start saying that

You're an expert at everything, you really stop getting better.

- That's a great way to look at it. - Yep.

It's windy. There might be weather coming in.

There. Look, a storm.

It's pouring down rain.

We're trying to... Trying to save our meat.

Some stuff fell on the fire earlier

And um, these challenges are never easy.

You know, when you roll up and you get a big kill,

You think that you're just gonna be coasting.

This challenge always finds a way to tell you

To sit your ass down and be humble.

Guess the gods are not happy.

We did not build for this.

What do we do?

Keep the fire going.

The fire's popping right now. But

we are trying to keep the fire going,

Protect the meat, keep ourselves dry.

The temperature dropped, so we're shivering cold already.

But we have a pretty strong fire

And a lot of firewood that we had built up,

So I'm not worried about it going out.

Noah and I are in the tiniest part of the end of our boma

Because it is raining and it is storming.

And we do not want to be soaking wet.

All we can do is wait it out.

The storm is passing.

'cause we're gonna be so full in a food coma.

It smells like bacon.

It's amazing.

- It's gonna be my first bite of heart ever. - Ever.

- And you hunt, right? Yeah. - I'm a hunter.

I just could never do it before.

- Now you got the heart. It's so good. - I have to do it. I have to.

- Ready? - Yeah.

- Mmm, it's excellent. - Right?

Storm and everything, we still got to enjoy nice, fat chunk of meat.

And we shared the heart together.

I'm just so thankful for this.

Beyond thankful.

I'm going to get full tonight.

Let me just kind of...

ow, ow, ow.

I just stepped on a coal.

I think it's gonna blister.

I thought I like, stepped over,

But I don't know like, what happened.

- I'm sorry, rylie. - Yeah, that's not... It's not your fault.

It's nobody's fault.

God, man.

I'm just like, really like, worried

'cause I can feel it like...

I don't know if... I definitely can't walk with this right now.

- Hey. - Hey.

I stepped on it and it like, got stuck in my foot.

It feels like it's still burning.

How do I keep this clean without shoes?

This environment is really treacherous, even on the healthiest of feet.

And I've just been having some issues with my left one.

It seemingly was getting better.

So to have my right foot get burnt,

It is just really demoralizing.

- Thank you. - Sure.

I am worried about rylie. She's in a lot of pain.

I need to help however I can.

I need to do a lot of work so she can rest up

And get as healthy as possible.

With that rain coming down last night

And just everything getting soaked,

Um, it was a muddy mess in here.

I think we would have lost a lot of meat

Had we not already had it up on the smoker

And then the rest of it was up on rocks drying out.

I'm forcing her to eat now.

Forcing you to eat on naked and afraid.

We did all the crucial steps in order to manage our meat.

It's all getting on the smoker, it's in the pot

Or it's in our bellies. You know, we were able to barbeque it.

Tastes like barbeque pork from a chinese restaurant.

I already feel useless right now.

I'm supposed to be the mentor and like, noah's doing everything, you know.

The last thing I need is people thinking I just sit around.

This is just like, my nightmare.

I think what I'm gonna do is make a spear for fishing.

- Okay. - Um...

I wish I could get firewood. That's what I would be doing right now.

No, that's okay. You got to rest.

The fish are the onl consistent sources of food that we've seen.

So it won't hurt to diversif our methods of catching them

Especially if rylie feels she can't move around efficiently anymore.

The spear has kind of a pronged tip to it.

Because when you're catching fish or snakes,

You want to kind of spread out the tips

So you have more area to cover.

So it's kind of like a claw instead of a single point.

It's a little easier that way.

Did you try using like, a reverse pinch grip?

Reverse pinch grip.

You're gonna be just using that triangle point.

If you want to try it that way, I'll show you. It'll probably help you.

As long as I'm here, I'm still gonna be helpful to noah.

I'm gonna do anything I can do,

But I have to feel like, I'm able to still do 110%

Or this challenge isn't a challenge for me.

It's just sitting and being waited on.

And that's not part of being a legend.

This is taking off all that fine stuff, so you can get it real sharp.

Fishing is fickle.

But just gotta keep looking forward.

Noah is doing all of the regular work that we both do.

And I'm not.

And it feels wrong. And it feels unfair.

How was fishing?

Um, I didn't catch anything.

It's alright.

- Is your foot feeling any better? - It really hurts.

I'll just see how it feels tomorrow.

Like, if it still blisters and throbbing

Like, I won't be able to do stuff.

I'm just gonna take the nigh and then make a decision,

Even though it might be a hard decision.

I'm gonna decide tomorrow. I'm not gonna sit around for another day.

You know how I feel. I know how you feel.

- We'll just see, huh? - We'll see.

You know, I've always said that if I was ever in a challenge

And I didn't feel like I was able to pull my weight, then I would leave.

I've been injured in challenges before worse than this.

That one is a stinger.

But I was never immobile.

It's not fair to sit around and not contribute.

Well, you know you're definitely not useless out here at all.

But you know, like, it's not the challenge that I want to do.

While yes, I could probably nurse this wound and get through it,

I've decided to leave today.

Okay.

- Well, I'll miss you. - I'll miss you too.

Part of me is saying I should stay and stick it out just to help noah.

But I also know that noah has what it takes to stay a couple more days

And then, go find the other team.

He'll be in a better position to do that

If he doesn't have to kind of do extra work

Because I'm unable to get around.

- Hey, rylie. - Hey.

Are you positive you want to tap?

Yeah, I think it's better for me to get well at home.

Okay. Let's get you out of here.

Noah.

- You got this, buddy. - Thanks for everything.

- You got it. - Appreciate it.

-Let me know when you made it. I know you will -okay.

Two thumbs up.

I think rylie is holding herself

To a really high standard of performance out here.

Thanks.

I think she left because she's not gonna be able to operate

At a high level for a few days.

And it's really frustrating for her.

I don't have anything else to prove.

I've done 60 days, I've done 40 days, I've done another 21 days.

At this point in my survival journey,

It's about how I perform and what I can bring to the table.

Despite her legen status, rylie chooses

To exit the challenge after only six days.

Her psr drops from 9.1 to 8.

It's hard. You know, it certainly doesn't feel good.

But I think it's the right thing to do.

Yep. Yep, yep, yep. What it is to be solo.

Coming into this as a rookie I did not expect my legend to tap on day six.

I'm feeling frustrated, feeling a little bit upset.

Rylie brought a lot to the table,

Knowledge and skills and expertise out here.

It's a big speed bump in the plans

And it's gonna make things a lot more difficult.

No rest from the thorns.

Now the fun part. Get that brain out of there.

Yummy.

- Yummy. - All right.

- This is all together? - Need help?

Yeah.

Michaelyn was able to process the entire pig.

Now that we have the hide,

We gotta pull the brains out of the head.

This is my first time tanning a hide.

But I've seen it done before.

There's chemicals in the brain that help keep the hide supple and soft.

Brain tissue contains lecithin oil

That serves as a natural tanning agent.

It lubricates the skin and prevents it from becoming rawhide.

- So you have it the way it is now. - Mmm-hmm.

You rub it all around itself, and then you fold it together.

And then you let it like soak in there for like a day or two.

- Okay. - Yeah.

I think that's how it works. I'm not 100% sure.

- You're the legend. - I am the legend.

But I've never tanned anything on a challenge...

Using brains.

I'm just not thinking about it,

What I'm really touching.

It's pretty nasty but...

These shoes are gonna be a lifesaver out here, especially for me.

Max will probably go run across the desert and be fine.

Carry a warthog on his shoulders barefoot.

- No problem. - Gotta do what you gotta do.

No problem for a legend.

I think this is good.

Nice. Fold her up.

All right.

Here I am. My first night alone in the boma.

Rylie tapped out today, left me all alone

For five days until the merger.

I'm not super stoked about that.

But if she wanted to go, she wanted to go.

Can't do too much about it.

Now it's all me. I hope I can do it on my own.

I'm ready to get back in it

Personally, the most difficult thing is hunting.

It's something that rylie is really good at

And I hope to have learned something from her

Because I really gotta get some food.

Oh.

A warthog with some hide.

Oh, man.

Nice!

Look at this guy.

I stumble across a dead warthog.

And the warthog has a pelt on it

Which looks like good hearty shoes to me.

Going to use this hide to create shoes for the merge hike,

And hopefully make it all the way to the extraction hike.

I'll let that soak for a while...

Enough to manipulate it and shape it into shoes.

- I'm gonna sit in the shade. - Cool.

I'm on fire.

Excuse me.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh.

Oh.

Ow that hurt.

Just walked on fire for a second there.

Max accidentally steps on some hot coals.

And just the reaction, I think, startled both of us.

Oh, that sucked.

If that had been a worse situation,

It could have easily taken him out of the challenge.

A burn out here would be so miserable.

It feels really good in the mud.

I bet.

Yeah, I need max out here. He's been a great mentor.

I think being out here would be really hard on my own.

The baboons last night were making all sorts of crazy sounds.

They were flipping rocks, I presume, looking for scorpions.

Taking a cue from the baboon

I'm gonna also flip rocks and look for scorpions.

All right. It's dinner.

Big one.

Cut off the stinger.

Scorpions like this can be deadly.

So you really have to make sure, absolutely sure, to cut the stinger off.

Knowing I'm gonna eat at least one scorpion is a great feeling.

Certainly better than nothing.

Cheers. Scorpion meal.

Has a pleasant sort of...

I don't know, barbecue flavor to it.

Yeah, I don't want you to get too close to the knife here.

Just 'cause it's like a little sketch.

This will be my second pair of shoes.

I made my first pair of shoe the air jerusalem 1s,

Out of impala hide.

But this is the first time working with warthog.

It feels a lot like I'm working with leather.

I'm a designer now.

Hey, new kicks!

My partner tapped because she damaged her feet.

So I'm making shoes.

I'm using acacia thorns as needles,

And the fishing line as thread.

I have no sowing experience, just figuring it out as I go.

On the merge hike these will be great.

Yeah.

The moment of truth.

Yeah.

I can do anything now.

All of our shoes are cut up and ready to go.

And, you know, we run the strings, which is the warthog hide.

Oh, schnaps.

The air jerusalem 2s coming to ya.

Let's go!

Uh.

Tight.

I'm super excite to have them for our merge.

I really think that they're gonna be just a complete game changer

When it comes to merge time.

Put them on and they feel really good.

Yeah, buddy.

And I have nothing stabbing through my foot which is hug

Here you go. Head up. You ready?

Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ah!

Oh, to the lane right there.

These air jerusalem 2s are hot!

Yeah, I think I'm gonna buy them.

- Good. - Think so.

I'm excited for merge tomorrow,

Just to meet another legend

I think that's so awesome that not only am I partnered with max out here,

But I get to meet another legend as well.

And I just hope that we com together even stronger as a tribe of four.

Ooh, cobra! Cobra! Big ole cobra.

Big ole cobra, baby!

Give me your knife.

Time to play, baby!

Give me your knife.

Ooh, cobra!

Big ole cobra, baby!

Give me your knife.

He's ready to start striking.

It's time to play, baby!

Let's go, baby!

- Whoo! - Let's go! We're having snake for lunch, baby!

We're having snake for lunch! All right.

- Beautiful. Look at him. - Oh, my gosh.

Even when decapitated,

A cobra can still deliver a deadly venomous bite for up to one hour.

Probably should bury him.

That's scary that he was so close to our boma.

- Have you ever eaten snake? - No!

Before naked and afraid I'd never eaten a snake either.

- Here we go. - Here we go!

Michaelyn, she's getting the initiation that she deserves.

I'm just so thankful to have her as a partner

And be able to share these experiences with her.

- Oh, try some of that. - Thank you.

- Pretty good. - Yeah?

Mmm-hmm.

We had a cobra come through our camp.

Thankfully that max was here to save the day.

- That's what legends do. - Thanks.

It is my last night here.

I am nervous for the hike.

I haven't really eaten too much in the past several days.

I am truly hoping that when get to the merge spot

There will be two new partners to hang out with.

Hopefully, I can make it.

Today is merge day.

- Let's get the heck out of here. - Let's get out of here.

Let's ride.

I'm excited to see what greener pastures lie ahead.

I'm super excited to see the legend and their rookie

Ready to go. Feeling good.

Feeling ready, feeling hydrated.

Can't forget the shoes.

This hike is gonna be hard.

I'm anticipating a lot of heat, a lot of sun.

A lot of thorns.

But I'm definitely ready to be part of a tribe.

Goodbye, boma!

I will see you... Probably never.

- Bye, boma! - Bye, boma!

It was real!

Lots of animal dangers.

Snakes, baboons, buffalos, leopards.

Looks like almost double the distance of what we did for...

- Exertion. - Yeah. That was long.

Thankfully, we have shoes this time.

Yeah, we got shoes, but we should probably start moving before the sun gets too high.

- Let's head out then. - Cool, let's roll.

To reach their merge point,

Max, michaelyn, and noah, will have to travel three miles

From their respective camps through steep terrain,

Riddled with razor-sharp acacia thorns,

And jagged rocks that easily puncture skin,

Till they arrive to the top of a plateau, where the two tribes will merge.

Lots of dried grass.

Lots of hot, boulder-y rocks

It's just changing all over the place.

Ready for this?

You wanted to rock climb.

- I'm gonna take my shoes off for this. - Yeah.

'cause it's too slippery.

I'm trying to keep up with max.

He's an extreme athlete.

But on this terrain, it's starting to get really difficult for me.

Oh!

What?

Just take your time.

Looks like it flattens out right up here, so...

awesome.

Nice.

This seems like as good as a time as any to put on the shoes, to me.

All righty.

See how that goes.

- Ooh, it's getting hot. - Yeah.

Look at this zebra.

Wow. We are not alone.

Wildebeest.

This is just leopard territory, for sure.

Cat poop everywhere.

I'm almost at the merge point.

And I'm nervous.

I really hope there are people there.

It is warm out here.

The sun is just beating down on us, I'm dehydrated.

Every time I think we're getting close,

You know, there's another, uh, hillside we have to clim more rocks to go over.

You okay?

Sure?

You're crushing it.

Seriously, you're crushing it.

I'm hoping that we get there soon,

Just because this is a lot of work for me,

This is a lot of work for michaelyn.

We've been walking for hours.

Oh!

I think I see a person.

- Hey! - Naked people!

How's it going?

Is that max?

It was awesome to see max.

Oh, my goodness!

He was one of my top choices.

He's a very skilled hunter and survivalist.

It's just you?

Just me.

What?

Yeah, my partner was rylie.

- No way! - She stepped in some hot coals and she tapped.

Crazy! Cheers.

- I'm noah. - Nice to meet you.

- Max. - Michaelyn.

- Nice to meet you guys. - Yeah.

She burned her foot?

- Yeah, she burned her foot. - What?

I stepped on hot coals too.

- Yeah, it's a bummer. - Yeah.

She tapped.

Damn.

I didn't think she would tap

I'm really sad that she's no here to share this experienc

But, you know, one legend has to March on

And be a leading force through this challenge.

One legend and two rooks, let's roll!

- You want some jerky? - I would love some jerky.

- Let's go! - Thank you!

The tribe offers me warthog jerky,

That's more than I've eaten in the previous five days.

- It's so good to see other people out here. - Yeah.

Noah, he's excited to be paired up with some teammates.

- Six days by yourself. - So stoked.

For him to have survived this long on his own,

You have to be tough.

I think it's time for us to find water.

Let's pull out the map and take a look-see, huh?

So looks like we've merged up...

Right here.

And we have to get to some water which looks like right there.

- Yeah. - I mean, we're at a high point,

So I'm assuming we gotta head down.

- Follow the fault line. - Yeah, follow the fault line.

- Let's do it! - Nice.

From the merge point, the newly formed trib

Will hike southwest three miles

To a low-lying valley with small ponds.

Near a river mouth that attracts herds of aggressive cape buffalo

And territorial baboons.

I feel like for the last couple of days for me

The wildlife has been returning to the area.

That's what we were saying too.

Like the baboons started showing up.

Mmm-hmm. They were getting closer.

On their hike, max, michaelyn, and noah,

Will be moving through the grasslands,

The domain of the white rhin

These two-ton behemoths will aggressively protect their territory,

And can charge at speeds of up to 31 miles per hour when provoked.

Hey, watch where you're stepping and always check your surroundings.

- Mmm. - It looks like we're descending now.

- That's a good sign, trying to find water. - That is a good sign.

Dang!

What a view!

Holy crap.

Oh.

It reminds me a lot of the american west.

Oh, oh! What've we got?

- Gnu on the side of the hill. - Oh, no, those are waterbucks.

- Those are waterbucks? - Yeah, they've got the white ring.

- Oh, okay, okay. - Nice.

- That's good. - That's a good sign.

I don't know if we want to drop down this space,

It probably gets cliffed out, looks like.

- Yeah. - That way.

We can try to circumnavigate over here?

- Take a breath. - Take a breath.

One hour at a time, one step at a time.

I think going down is worse than climbing.

Can I just roll down?

I'll catch you at the bottom if you wanna roll.

It seems like michaelyn is kinda struggling.

But she's pushing through it and I think she's doing grea

- ooh! - Yeah, watch out.

Slippery when wearing warthog.

Almost there.

Phew. Good work.

I think we wanna head...

- That way. - Yeah, closer to the water.

Keep our eyes peeled for good cover, enough thorns to make up a boma

And somewhere to put our heads down.

This looks pretty nice right in here.

Looks like a decent amount of shade.

We found a nice little canop

It's tucked out to the side so we won't get just hammered by the winds.

There's already part of a boma setup right there.

This will be our entrance if we just put a bomber wall on this side,

To protect us from that wind.

Cool.

So hot and nasty.

I'm so dehydrated, my mouth is so dry.

I really just feel like I'v just hit a wall and I'm at my breaking point.

What?

Really?

Just you're at the end of your rope?

I know you've just gotta let it out a little bit.

I wanna go.

I wanna go.

All we gotta do is make it through the night.

Get a good night sleep tonight.

And then we're in a good space.

I'm the mentor.

I feel like my challenge is dependent on her success.

You wanna get a little fire going? Boil some water?

Let's do it.

Max and I spent 10 days together, he's an awesome partner.

He knows what to say to really, like, bring me back into a good mental space.

- I'm proud of you. - Thank you.

Yeah.

You're crushing it.

- Oh, yeah? - Seriously.

I feel like it's crushing me.

Michaelyn seems to be having a little bit of a hard time.

She relaxed for a little bit but that's totally okay.

Max and I are happy to take the lead.

It's day 11 on a 21-day tribes challenge.

This is one of the hardest days on any challenge.

Hiking four-plus miles to a new location,

Building a boma, have to get water going,

We're starting a whole new challenge.

This very harsh environment is not easy on the body.

This is freaking tough.

Nice work.

Fire!

This boma is already probably better than my previous boma.

Lots of leafy branches, it should be pretty windproo

- did you get it? - Mmm-hmm.

These guys were amazing today.

I had a rough day.

But I couldn't thank them enough for everything they did for me today.

So I'm gonna get some sleep and hope tomorrow is a better day.

How you feeling?

Better today.

You're on the mend.

Today I am feeling so much better,

I'm glad that I just stuck it out last night.

Today I'm just gonna set some fishing lines.

I'll try to find some bait this morning on my way out there.

I'll probably end up trekking up to the viewpoint,

See what my move can be.

We showed up at a new location.

That means new opportunities

So, I'm heading upriver

And trying to circumnav back around so I can work downwind.

The dynamic between the new tribe is awesome.

Max is hunting, I'm fishing,

Michaelyn is helping me get bait and set lines.

That kind of looks like a skull.

- Yeah. - Catfish?

My goodness. Yeah, it's a catfish headplate.

Where's this guy at? That was his brother.

There are monster fish in this lake.

The african sharptooth catfish

Is a species only found in freshwater lakes, rivers, and ponds.

They grow up to 5 feet and weigh up to 130 pounds.

Their wide mouths enable the to swallow prey whole.

His head is as big as my head.

Dang.

One of these monster fish could feed us

For the rest of the challenge, easy.

They're around.

I see something. There's an opening right there.

I believe it's nyala. There's two of them.

Nyala are large, spiral horned antelope.

They can weight up to 275 pounds.

They forage for plants in the early morning or late afternoon

Usually alone or in small groups.

In the trees like that, they don't have

The best view right now of this ridge line.

Let's give it a shot, let's just cruise.

Hopefully they start bedding down

And I can just creep up on them.

That'd be the dream.

Noah and I were looking for bait

And I look down and see these tiny little frogs

Just hopping everywhere.

I got two.

All right.

Okay.

Sorry, guy.

I'm hoping that the lines with bait will work

As opposed to hunting fish with a machete.

I throw the line, I bury the stick so the stick

Can't be pulled out, and then I'm going to

Grab some rocks and kind of secure it in place.

I have four lines out right now.

I'm hoping for fish tomorrow

maybe the hardest par is going to be trying to

Get down to that water without them noticing me.

That's the crux of this situation.

This'll be one of the most epic stalk and shots

If this goes dow

To bring home something in the antelope family,

Would really solidify my abilities as a hunter,

As a provider, as a leader, as a mentor,

As all of the things. As a survivalist.

It would be the exclamation point I want on this challenge.

Probably one of the most hypervigilant animals I've ever encountered.

So, the stalk and shot is pretty difficult.

About to set up a blind here.

Pretty damn close to the water.

It's got this nice little overhang.

I'll catch them right crossing the water.

And that'll be my shot.

I can't believe I didn't bring my knife.

Rookie mistake.

The blind looks freaking bomber.

I would hunt here even if I wasn't naked

And really, really hungry.

Boom. Right there.

That's ideal for me.

- It's raining. - A little.

- I think it might pass, though. - It's gonna pass.

Yeah, look, it's like bright out that way.

We are going into the rainy season,

So it's all about just preparing for the worst.

We are anticipating a potential downpour

Like we had on night three.

And that was absolutely brutal.

And that's a great way to take you straight out of a challenge.

So we're trying to figure ou the best way for us to cove

If that were to happen.

So I'm thinking two y sticks that are about yea high.

I'm just going to build a debris hut.

There's room for three in here.

Yeah, I mean, you sit down,

And we'll put her in the middle,

- And we'll freaking... - yeah.

Hunker down here.

Maybe we'll do sticks first

And then we'll just stack it on there

Just as much as possible.

- This looks great. - Better than nothing.

At least we're prepared in case something does come through.

Good work.

That was a team effort right there. Oh, oh, yes.

Sounds like the baboons are not too stoked.

Nothing and the bait's still there.

Massive fish jumping everywhere.

They're around.

I just like to get the fish lines checked and re-baited

Before it gets darker and colder.

Frog bait is still on this one.

We're almost out of warthog jerky.

It's really cold out here and we're getting very hungr

But, feeling good. There's signs of fish.

There's fish jumping all over the place,

So they're feeding.

One more week, fan challenge complete.

- Yep. - You guys are officially more than fans.

I'm stoked for you guys.

I'm heading to my blind.

- Good luck, man. - Thank you. You too.

Even though I'm the mentor, our best bet,

If we're going to eat, is to split up.

Our camp is located at the intersection of this river.

Noah fishes downstream, towards the larger body of water,

And I hunt upstream, about a mile or so.

It's a tough walk, but I need to be away

From human scent if I hope to shoot something

That's also why I hunt alone

The larger the human footprint,

The less animals are going to be around here

I'm incredibly grateful that max is hunting.

I'll get, um, the fire going.

Okay.

We're getting stuff done back at the boma.

It's a win-win for everyone

Just gotten in my blind.

Got a good breeze.

I'm hoping they start funneling in here

And I can get a shot off.

Uh, a duck saw me.

He scoped me out and I thoug I was pretty camouflaged.

I'm going to reenforce this blind in order for me t

Get a better shot off next time.

Day 14 is in the books.

It feels good to be able to go hunt and know that

gonna still be getting done

On the home front.

Hopefully we can get a big kill.

Holy cow.

Bone chilling.

Holy. How you feeling?

I'm feeling cold and the temperature definitely dropped.

It is frickin' freezing.

We are soaking wet and hungry.

I'm pretty exhausted.

Very cold. Very wet.

You can see our breaths.

This is horrible.

It's going to be a long night.

That might have been one of the coldest, wettest,

Scariest nights I've had on naked and afraid.

Worse than my fan challenge in panama.

F off..

Come on, come on, babe. Let's do this.

And my panama tribe challeng

panama. Give us a break here.

Freezing.

Every part of it was gnarly.

Honestly, I couldn't have done it without you guys,

Physically and mentally.

That storm just beat us down.

So today we are going to focus on just drying out, staying warm,

And we need to definitely get a big win sometime soon.

- Got to say positive. - Yeah.

Yes.

This one still has the bait but no fish.

Throw it off right over here.

I'm taking an easy day becau

I have been going non-stop since our merge hike.

After last night, I am beat down.

So I think if you were to stand, like, up on the rocks,

You might be able to, like, spot them for me a little bit.

If they bring home a kill, I would be ecstatic

He's about to pop a fish.

You all right?

Yeah, just my pride.

Not getting food is frustrating.

I'm kind of starting to feel the pressure a little bit.

Whew, it's chilly.

It's the morning of day 17.

We've been trying everything to get food on the table.

The cold is so exhausting.

But hopefully our luck changes today.

I think there's a warthog up on this hillside.

I feel like a lot is on my shoulders

Because I am the legend

And I am the one who has the most experience.

So I need to step up and get this win for our team.

Oh.

I just blew it.

Even just walking to the lake takes effort and energy.

It's getting tough.

No fish, no bait.

Long, long hike. There's like, literally no winning.

I know.

Max comes back to the boma, he's emptyhanded.

We've gone so long with just nothing happening here.

Every day feels like a low point

And then it just gets worse.

But we just keep each other

Uplifted and supported the best that we can.

Hasta la vista.

Thank you. We'll see what happens.

- Yeah, good luck, man. - Yeah.

Max goes hunting for the day

And michaelyn and I go check on lines.

Day 18. My birthday.

Oh, happy birthday.

I think max feels a lot of pressure right now

Just to get another win.

So it'd be great if we're able to bring him some fish today.

We haven't eaten too much.

I think, as a tribe, we migh be getting to a low point.

I wish I was catching fish. I'm not.

Currently at a view point.

I'm looking for any sort of game

Coming in and out of this waterway.

I saw a couple warthogs, but they're pretty far away

Nothing I can really do about that.

It has been 15 days since the last big win for me.

And that's the longest I've ever gone

On any challenge without a win.

I'm feeling a little bummed.

Feeling productive today.

I am not catching fish in the larger body of water

So, I'm checking the smaller shallower pools.

This pool, the next one, and the next one,

Are the ones that are most directly connected to the water.

Maybe a big fish got trapped in there.

I'm looking for movement.

Poking around.

This one's a little deep for spear fishing.

Shallow pools make it easier to see the fish.

Oh, my god.

There's a huge catfish right there in this pool.

There's no way he can get out.

I'm in go mode.

I'm glad it's not super deep.

But the fish is incredibly hard to see.

It's tricky. He's allusive.

Ah, it's gone.

No.

I hurt him pretty good with my spear.

This is like my moby dick, this fish, at this point.

It's right there.

Back to the basics.

Oh, shoot. There he is.

I got to go see what's going on.

Yeah!

So I'm making a hat out of reeds,

Hoping to get some sort of sunblock.

And rylie grabs it.

Give me it. Let me see what it would look like as a bra.

- Oh, my god. - It's perfect.

Actually, it's really comfortable. It fits perfectly.

It's strangely accurate for my bust.

Let me tell you, I could pick up a lot of firewood,

Nothing's going to get to the nip tops.

Making bras was not on my survival resume.

This whole time, you were making a bra

And you didn't even know.

But I'm happy to add it.

I just need one other one.

I would actually wear this around.

Oh, my goodness.

Yes!

I got to go see what's going on.

Let's go. Come on!

This is the fish I have been looking for.

Yeah!

I bopped it.

Legend.

- Ah, look what I got us to eat. - Nice. Ah.

- Man, thanks. - I'm so stoked for you. Here.

- Dude, it... - No, no, no, I got it, I got it, I got it.

It's so heavy.

Oh, my gosh.

- Congratulations. - I can't believe that I caught this.

That's a monster.

I am flabbergasted by a man-eater of a fish.

I'm so proud of him.

Awesome, that's crazy.

That might be the biggest catfish ever caught on naked and afraid.

Got two rookies hat saved the day.

Way to go, noah.

I'll head back,

Get things rolling for tonight.

Noah has just changed everything for us.

This thing's massive and it's just going to

Carry us through till the en

such a big win, dude. I'm so thankful.

The energy has absolutely 100% shifted.

It's amazing how much

Even the promise of food changes your mood.

That's a lot of meat, dude.

Yeah.

We're going to use every part of that fish.

You know, you throw the head in there, we make some fish head stew.

We start smoking and we barbeque.

Let's feast.

Oh, yeah.

"oh, yeah" is right. Holy shoot.

Wow.

Magnifico.

As you take that first bit, as it hits your lips,

It's a special moment to share.

It's just as tasty as, like, a well-cooked steak.

Mmm-hmm.

Tasty.

Getting food for my partners

And being able to share in this experience with the

Is amazing, like, one of the best feelings in the world.

This is a great way to end my 24th birthday.

Happy birthday, dude.

- Thank you, man. - Yep.

- Hell, yeah. - Yep.

I think noah is now a legend in his own right

After this one, so, I think we got a rookie of the year.

Michaelyn?

Blow it out.

Thanks.

What do you say, one last team trip to the water?

Take out the lines for good and take in the sights?

Let's party.

Day 20 is finally here.

Being close to the en is nerve wracking

Because people have tapped out in the past where I'm at now.

There are still a lot of dangers out here.

I would be heartbroken to not finish at this point.

It's going to be a big day tomorrow.

More so for these guys than it is for me,

But I just need to be a good leader

And, you know, get them prepared for what's ahead.

Holy crap. There are baboons.

Get! Get!

He doesn't give a.

It's leaving.

Are you naked and afraid right now?

Yeah, I'm terrified.

I'm terrified.

I'm glad those baboons took off last night.

Yeah.

- Day 21. - Day 21.

- Let's go. - I'm so proud of you guys.

I'm proud of us too.

Seriously, we'll drain a little bit more, put out the fire, and let's go!

Yes!

This challenge is really hard,

But, the reason why I keep coming back for naked and afraid

Is getting to that finish line.

It's one of the most special experiences

That I have ever experience in my entire life.

And I'm so happy to be able to share it with these rooki that are now pros.

Do the honors.

Nice.

The humble boma.

Catch you later.

Yeah.

I am nervous for this final extraction.

The merge hike coming in was pretty rough on me,

But I'm just gonna have to give it my all.

All right, who's got that map? Cool.

- So, we're right here. - Yup.

And our extraction's right here.

It looks like we might have to get a little wet.

- We could take the waterway, but... - yeah.

I think going over would be our best bet.

- It'll make a lot more sense to go up and over. - Cool.

See some clouds rolling in, we should try to beat that.

- Yup, let's go. - All right.

Max, michaelyn and noah will hike

3 miles on narrow game trail winding through rugged, mountainous terrain.

They will then need to traverse an open plain,

Frequented by leopards and home to deadly cobras

And puff adder snakes that kill more people than a other snake in africa.

Their final mile will be a painful descent down a 400-foot ridge,

Full of slippery rocks and thickets of skin-piercing thorns,

Until they reach a large lak where they will swim out 200 yards,

Through frigid murky waters to their rescue boat.

- Whoo. This breeze is no joke. - Mmm-mmm.

- It's cold. - It's gonna be a cold, cold swim.

Yeah, so I'm thinking we head up to the saddle.

- Up the staircase. - Yeah.

Little slick, so be careful.

Just never know what's hiding behind any of these rocks.

This is cobra territory.

And they blend in really, really well.

So, if you're not hyper vigilant,

You could get hit and it could be game over.

- A mangled impala horn. - Oh, man.

There's a lot of animals that have died

And I think the main culprit is leopards.

We're going into their territory right now

And, you know it's a little unsettling,

But we just gotta power through and make it to the end.

Watch out, a cactus right there.

I see it.

Are you good, noah?

Yeah, trying not to stub my toes.

Aw, now we're getting into some thorns here, guys.

Be careful with your steps here.

Lot of thorns.

Ow.

How we doing?

Doing.

Michaelyn's kind of slowing down.

This is new for both of them,

So I have to be a good leade and a good route finder

In order for us to get to point a to point b,

But it's very hard, just because it's so mountainous.

Whoo-hoo.

Oh, wow.

Holy cow, what a view.

Wow.

- Wow. - Wow.

Dang. So dope.

Our extraction is somewhere in the middle there.

This looks pretty steep, though, so we better be careful.

Yeah.

- Yeah. - Take it slow.

Take it slow and easy.

- This stuff's a bit hard to walk on. - Ow.

This is rough on the feet.

Isn't it?

Frickin' gravel pit.

These rocks are sharp and they are not stable,

So I'm just taking my time, watching every step

And trying to make smart moves.

Ooh, be careful there.

- An acacia fortress down here. - Oh, good.

- Aw. - Ooh.

Are you bleeding?

Oh, yeah.

Sliced a big old chunk out of the foot.

Found your blood trail.

Dang.

It's not too bad.

But it's definitely bleeding.

Take it easy, max.

This is no big deal, sometimes you need

To feel that pain to really feel that gain.

Well, here goes nothing.

What if I get tapped from this foot situation?

We're dragging you through the water.

- You'll pull me through the water? - Yup.

Probably just have to swim out towards the middle.

- You guys ready for this swim? - Ready?

Whoo!

It's kind of chilly.

Walk straight into it.

Whoo!

Let's go! Let's go, baby! Come on!

Never had to swim in this cold of wate

This far out into a lake and I'm really struggling.

Keep moving, get that blood flowing.

Come on, baby.

Keep pushing, guys.

We're almost there.

My muscles are cramping, I'm exhausted I'm out of breath, it's hard

Hopefully, the boat shows up soon, 'cause this water's cold.

- Come on. - Oh, I see a boat!

We're here, yeah!

- Whoo! - Let's go!

Come on, guys.

Almost there.

Want a hand?

Power through those legs, power through those legs.

Come on, there you got it. Good boy. Bring it in.

Guys, bring it in.

So proud of you guys.

When my partner, the legend, left on day 6, I felt pretty discouraged.

But not only did I complete this challenge,

But I did a significant portion of it on my own.

And the camaraderie, I made memories that I will not forget ever.

After surviving 21 days in nama karoo, south africa,

Noah heads home 31 pounds lighter. His psr rises from 5.7 to 6.

Oh, amazing, how do you feel?

Amazing.

Oh, my god.

Through this challenge I learned

When, uh, the going gets tough, I can push through it.

I couldn't have done it without such a great team.

I'm just on top of the world.

Michaelyn lost a total of 13 pounds. Her psr rises from 6.0 to 7.

6-0!

Let's go!

With a couple of rookies who turned into pros.

Let's go.

The challenge was all about the rookies.

I've had partners get sick, hurt themselves, the list goes on.

And, uh, to have these guys power through is just so special.

We all were rooting for each other in any way possible.

I'm proud of the way my team upheld me.

And along the way, I learned that it doesn't matter about the wins,

It matters about the teamwork and it really brings my story full circle.

Amazing.

Max leaves his sixth survival challeng 21 pounds lighter.

His psr rises from 9.5 to 9.8.

We've had a lot of ups and downs in this challenge,

And I know I'm just gonna grow as a person and use this experience

To better everything that I do.

Whoo!

We did it, baby.

Let's go!
