Here's my front yard.

I cannot believe I'm gonna be going

from the concrete jungle to the actual jungle,

or, in this case, desert.

I am definitely a city girl,

but I am so excited to get into nature.

And, like, be in a beautiful place that's serene

and have the sounds of animals and wildlife

be what, what wakes me up in the middle of the night

instead of trash truck outside of my window.

Welcome to the city of Yonkers, my hometown.

Yep, I'm very excited.

Yonkers is, you know, a concrete jungle.

Everywhere you look, there's danger.

You just gotta keep moving through all of that.

So, I've been surviving since I was born.

City people can survive anywhere,

and that's what I intend to do for 14 days.

I am just a fan of the show.

I am not a life-long survivalist.

That is so smart.

It's, like, gorgeous, light, little flip flops she just made.

But I am totally ready to take on this challenge.

I've never been more ready.

Hold on.

My God. My God.

You can see the smile on my face.

I might not be smiling out there after a week or so,

or two weeks, but definitely looking forward to this trip.

I'm so excited.

Vanderkloof, South Africa.

The unforgiving savannah landscape

sits atop an enormous plateau,

over 1,500 feet above sea level.

It is fed by a giant reservoir of water,

which brings both predator and prey

to drink from its shores.

The scorching sun can send daytime temp soaring into the hundreds,

while thunderstorms rip through the terrain at a moment's notice,

plunging temperatures into the low 40s.

This is definitely not New York anymore.

We don't have rhinos in New York, we have them out here.

Feeling good.

Wow.

This is the first time I've ever seen a rhino in person.

This is so magical.

He's so cute and beautiful.

Vanderkloof is home to 5,000-pound white rhinos,

leopards and the African buffalo,

a 1,400-pound behemoth responsible for over 200 deaths a year.

I see some buffalo up there.

Very unpredictable.

We gotta make sure we're staying clear of them.

They're the black death.

They will take you out.

This really is just a measuring stick.

When the chips are down, what are you gonna do, how would you react?

That's really what it comes down to.

So that's really why I'm doing this challenge,

to help me get to the next level.

I am so excited to get naked.

It's where I'm meant to be.

Freedom! Finally!

I absolutely love being naked.

I am pretty much nude all the time.

And so I think that that's the one part of this experience

that's gonna be super easy for me.

All right. Here goes nothing.

Yeah. It's time to get naked.

Adding the nudity to the survivor situation

is a little out there, you know?

As you're surviving, you're looking to shelter yourself,

you're not looking to be naked.

There's nothing like feeling the earth beneath you as you walk.

It's really an incredible experience.

I'm naked, I'm in Africa,

it feels damn good.

Hi. - Hey. How are you?

- Good. How are you? - Very good, very good.

- Nice to meet you. - Good to finally meet you.

Me, too. Yeah.

- I'm Elsa. - I'm Chev.

- Chev? - Yes.

- Okay, okay. - It's short for "Chevon."

Okay, cool.

-Yeah, it's... -Chev-Elsa, I love that name.

- Chev-Elsa. - Yeah!

- Whoo-hoo! - We're gonna do it.

- Where are you coming from? Where are you from? - I'm coming from New York.

- Really? - Yeah.

Me, too. I live in Brooklyn.

I used to live in Brooklyn, but I'm in Yonkers now.

Is this not the weirdest thing?

Like, being out here in a complete opposite environment than...

Yeah. I'm looking forward to bringing a lot of the, the city smarts,

- the street smarts into, like, here. - Yeah. Exactly.

And, you know, all the awareness that you have to have.

It's insane, we're both from New York.

I think we have a certain amount of street skills

that come with living in New York, especially.

So I think we'll both be pretty good at thinking on the spot.

- What are your skills? - Um, my skills are

I can keep a, a fire.

I was 13 years old when I moved to Yonkers,

and it was definitely a big culture shock.

But when I was 18, I found kayaking,

and it really brought me back to my love for being outside.

I'm a sea kayaker, naturalist,

I'm just an outdoorsman.

The skills that I'm bringing is shelter building, finding water.

Whatever I put my mind to, I get it done.

Chev's street smarts and experience as a kayaker

give him the grit he needs to survive,

but he's never experienced the African bush.

He begins with a Primitive Survival Rating, or PSR of 5.8.

What do you think some of your skills are?

I like to think I have a pretty decent mental attitude.

I meditate every day, so I hope you don't mind.

That's, like, my main thing.

Beautiful. I'm a nude-in-nature artist and photographer.

My strengths include being extremely hard working,

very passionate about being naked in nature.

You know, I love making fires.

I'm really excited to practice the traps.

I'm doing this challenge to conquer my fears about death,

about my existence.

Face those questions head-on,

and hopefully get some of the answers.

I think you're gonna really find yourself down there,

and come back transformed and reborn.

Afraid of death no more.

I'm so excited.

- Yeah. - I'm feeling pretty confident.

Elsa has never had to survive

without the comforts of civilization,

but her experience of thinking creatively in nature

and her enthusiasm give her an edge.

She begins with a PSR of 5.4.

Do me one favor.

- Do not let me tap. No matter what. - Same.

- Okay. Perfect. - All right?

- Yeah. Perfect. High five. Thank you. Yeah. - There you go.

- Do not! - I'm so happy. Likewise.

- All right. - We're staying until the end together.

Until the end together.

Want to check out our bags...

- And we'll take it from there. - Yeah. I'm with that.

Chev and Elsa have each brought a personal item,

- a machete... - It's a machete.

And a fishing line with hooks.

They have also been given a fire starter and a pot to boil water.

And it looks like I have the map here.

- Okay. - Okay, well, we are here.

Water source is here, and we are here.

This looks like it's gonna be a steep drop off,

so we wanna get down the hill...

And come up through the valley,

and make our way to the water source,

- and figure out where we're gonna camp. - Yeah.

Just need to be really careful.

You know, the puff adders, white rhinos.

The scorpions and buffalos.

Just be really careful when we're walking about.

- Yeah. Stay aware, you know? - Exactly.

- Let's do this. - Yeah, let's do it.

- Ready? All right. - Awesome. Yes, all ready.

All right, here we go.

This terrain is super unforgiving.

Like, we really need to be a mountain goat or something.

Like, one wrong step,

- you know, game's over. - Super tight, you know?

But I also see a lot of cracks and openings.

- Yeah. - And that's usually where snakes are hanging out.

- Totally. - And I'm not interested

in playing any games with any of that right now.

- I feel you. - So... I'm coming through.

Getting a lot of thorns in my feet right now.

Not fun.

Take your time.

Did people ever call you a hippie,

'cause you like nature and stuff?

No, I'm not a hippie, I'm a Rasta.

Like, does that just basically mean

that you're from Jamaica, or like...

-No. -What does that entail?

It entails a way of life.

Just love and caring for people,

- the environment, community, animals. - Cool.

I feel like that's just, kind of, how I live my life

and my belief system.

But I'm all about just, kind of, like,

one world, one love, peace.

- That's it. - Which is all about, I guess, the Rasta way.

Yeah, you'll leave here with some dreadlocks. Yeah, right?

Man, there's a lot of thorns over here.

- You got something? - Yeah, I got one in here.

- Yeah, I just did, too. - All right.

- Right at the same time. - Yeah.

- Thorns getting me already. - Yeah.

How are you feeling?

Hot, hot, hot.

Yeah, this hike so far is very taxing, to say the least.

Very intense heat,

and I definitely feel like I'm detoxing,

sweating a little bit.

Every step, it hurts.

These rocks, they're like hot.

Yeah. Yeah, these are hot.

Holy.

- Hit your toe? - Those little ones.

No, it's, like, those little rocks.

- Little burny ones, yeah, yeah. - They're, like...

They're like fire.

Never felt anything so hot in my entire life.

Growing up in Jamaica, we played barefoot,

hanging out on hot asphalt was a regular day.

- So I'm trying to channel that now. - Yeah.

This is so different than the city.

In Upstate New York, all the mountains up there,

it's just nothing like this.

I've never felt so much pain.

This is like...

It just hurts a lot.

What's wrong?

- I have thorns in my foot. I have a lot of thorns. - Let me see, let me see.

- Where? Where? - Right there.

I know I can do this, but there's just...

There's no way to train for this.

Like, it's impossible.

This is a stupid hike, I'll tell you that much.

Yeah. This is, like, ridiculous.

- It hurts so bad. - Yeah.

You're doing good. It'll be okay.

We'll get you down to that water, put those feet in there,

- cool them off. - Yeah.

That's what we'll do. We're good. Don't worry.

Yeah, I want some shade so bad.

There's nowhere to step. There's just nowhere to step.

Like, everything is so hot.

And we're going so slow because of me.

No, no, no, no. We're good.

We're good. You'll be fine.

I would say definitely Elsa is struggling.

If I don't do something, and give her some comfort,

and give her some reassurance that she'll be all right,

Elsa might just tap.

Elsa is having a hard time,

and I gotta figure it out.

I'm just, like, freaking out now.

My feet are shaking and my legs are shaking.

I just feel, like, so weak right now.

I'm pathetic. And we've just barely started, you know?

- It's okay. - It's, like, a really terrible feeling.

It's just your mind and your body saying, "Yeah. What are we doing?"

Maybe we can use some of the fishing wire,

and, kind of, just wrap this up under your feet.

My mind is thinking, you know, like, negative thoughts.

I'm like, "Maybe I'm not meant to do this," you know.

Like, maybe I'm not strong enough.

- Yeah, you are. - And maybe I'm just a city person, you know.

No, you're not.

- Okay. - You can try,

and you can tell me it's hard,

but you can't say you don't belong here.

- All right? - Okay.

You're good, you're good.

At least that can give you some relief.

- Thank you so much. - No problem.

This is why we're teammates, right?

Thanks.

Could I just walk with you for a second?

I have never felt so weak in my whole life.

No, man, you're strong.

All right. I'll just see how slow and careful I can be.

- Thank you so much. - Yeah. Just take your time.

No rush, no rush.

Elsa is a warrior, you know,

and she's in a lot of pain, and I can see it in her.

But I hope things get better,

and she's already earned my respect.

Don't think about the pain. Just breathe through that.

You've got this.

I see water!

- Yeah! - Yay!

- My God. - Yeah!

My God. It's so close.

Gets a little nicer over here.

I don't know what I'd do for, like, a green juice.

All I can think about is, like, a smoothie.

My God.

I can't believe we're almost there.

- It's right there. - So beautiful.

The mud feels so good.

I'm so grateful right now.

My feets are up. Both of them.

This feels good. Hell yeah.

- Cool yourself down. - It feels so good.

The sun is gonna go down pretty soon.

Yeah.

Let's try and get our shelter going, some fire.

While you're at it, I want you to fill this up.

Perfect. Yeah.

Yeah, I feel my body's cramping up pretty bad right now.

I feel like I'm sunburnt.

Doesn't look too clear.

It is what it is.

I guarantee you, Chev, this water is gonna be better than New York tap water.

Do you know how many chemicals they put in that?

Let's rock and roll.

All right, do you want me to work on starting the fire?

Yeah, but we... Let's just, kind of, source where we wanna stay...

- Yeah. - First.

And then, I can start working on that.

Well, this spot here looks good and flat.

How big do you wanna build this thing, though?

It would be good to build it pretty big.

And then, we're... And then, if we can get some energy in us tomorrow,

we could build a, little, like, debris hut inside.

We have the boma. And that will protect us from the cold.

These trees are gonna form a natural wall in the shelter.

- All right. - All right.

Let's put it between these two, um...

Brush towards these two trees.

- Up against these two trees, and just making a circle here? - Yeah.

Chev and Elsa will be constructing a boma,

a traditional African structure made from branches and brush,

which are stacked high to prevent animals

from coming too close to the inhabitants.

All right. I'll be cutting stuff for the boma.

You start with the fire.

- Perfect. Let's go. - All right.

My God, I'm so dehydrated.

I couldn't reach those birds' nests.

I just got one piece, but...

It's almost catching.

It's just, I don't have enough.

Can you find any little, like, dead kindling anywhere?

Like, dead bark?

Thorn.

There we go. Move some of this off.

I need that water so bad.

We've got a fire.

Yeah, I can barely talk, my mouth is so dry,

but my heart is smiling.

- It's what we do for each other. - Super grateful.

My God. Legitimately gold.

Chev, do you want to try a sip of this?

Not bad, right?

It tastes like sulfur.

First night here in the boma.

Quite cozy, considering that we are surrounded by thorns.

I'm exhausted.

Today was so insane.

This guy literally saved my life

and carried me through,

so I have to just say thank you so much.

My new best bud.

Yeah, tomorrow will be good.

It's on the agenda tomorrow, a shelter.

Right, Elsa?

Elsa and I have to keep the fire going,

so I can't sleep.

There's a few things that we have to do today.

We have to build a shelter.

I don't consider that being a shelter.

I think that thing is just a wall of protection.

Definitely a tough first night.

I just tried to get a few seconds of sleep.

I, was freezing,

so I'm excited to try to build a shelter today

that will actually keep us warm

and be a little more comfortable, I hope.

I'm just gonna go gather more firewood,

because we're just gonna fly through that every day, all day.

The plan for the shelter is to make

a little wigwam lean-to kind of thing.

First layer is going to be just straight up wood.

We're gonna put leaves through the second layer for some insulation.

Come right in here now. Yeah, baby.

We wanna get this shelter done

before the sun gets really hot.

This mud does feel amazing.

Happy I made a pitstop down here

in my firewood excursion.

Trying to just protect from the sun.

Hope there's not too much animal poop in this.

But I think that animal poop helps my microbiome,

therefore, it makes my body run better,

so that might be a good thing, I don't know.

Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

Ooh. It worked.

What's going on over there?

I'm annoyed.

When we met, we said we were gonna do everything together.

And then, here I am, doing it all right now.

It's pathetic.

Chev, I'm just gonna lay down for a second,

but I'm right over here.

And I have some water, in case you need it,

that's gonna be getting cooler and cooler.

But you have to get the shelter done at some point, though.

No, I know. I just have to lay down,

even if it's just for 20 minutes,

- because the sun is really getting to me. - All right.

I am starting to feel as if I am a one-man show.

I want this thing done. This is important.

If we don't have shelter tonight,

we're out here.

It takes two to tango, right?

I need help, man.

That's my cue. I'm gonna take a break.

This heat is on another level today.

My back is burning me.

Yeah, I feel you. I'm, like, dying. My feet hurt.

Same, same, same.

I'm trying to think about how to conserve energy,

and it's like the sun feels like

it's, kind of, at the hottest point right now.

And if we're, like, doing all the heavy lifting right now,

I don't know if, like, that makes the most sense for our bodies.

-Like, I'm just trying to like... -You wanna do it later?

I feel like it would make more sense right now

to, like, rest, which I feel like we both need to.

We should finish it.

But if roofs are there, we have some insulation.

We can always come back and reinsulate every other day.

Yeah.

You know, we can just collect extra firewood.

Yeah. The sun is brutal.

We gotta figure out a way around it.

Super tired and light headed.

Maybe you just need some protein, you know, some food.

So I'll see what we can do.

I'm gonna go look for a few scorpions.

See if I can find something.

There's, like, nothing around here.

These thorns, man, every day I come out here, it's another issue.

Damn it. There's gotta be something.

This is crazy.

Holy.

Is that what I think it is?

Gotcha!

Scorpion.

My God. What do you have?

I got a scorpion! yeah.

What? Yeah.

Yeah, good job.

Yeah. I'm just gonna roast that baby right there,

just like that.

It's like a beautiful little desert lobster.

This is about to be the first thing we're tasting in a day.

- Wow. - It has been that long.

- It's a record, right? - Yeah.

- There we go. - Damn.

- My God. - Let's cheers to you.

- Cheers. - Good job.

Here we go.

Soft shell crab.

- Crawfish. - Yeah. It's tasty.

Good job. That's amazing.

After my first time eating a scorpion, I feel a lot better.

Very early morning. It's freezing out.

Here I am, trying to go fishing.

As I was looking for bait, um, I found a dead fish in the beach.

So most definitely gonna break this guy apart

and use him as my bait.

Elsa and I woke up with the same idea, building a shelter,

and hydrating ourselves.

Um, but, you know, I'm starting to feel fatigued now,

and I know I need food.

You know, if I want to keep this same energy, I need some fuel.

So, we'll focus on that and see how that works out.

Sleeping on the dirt, it's hard,

and this sunburn is very, very, very painful.

I've never seen my skin look so red.

I had no idea

an environment even existed like this on planet Earth.

It's a whole another world out here, especially to be naked in.

Although my energy levels are low,

I do feel like we can pull through it, we can do this.

So, Chev and I are just about to set up some lines

from a little wooden rod in the ground,

and then, if something catches,

hopefully it will just be caught on there,

and when we come back later tonight,

there will be a fish there.

Elsa.

I checked the lines. Nothing bit our bait yet.

Too bad.

So, this is basically for bedding.

It could be for bedding or for shelter.

- Perfect. - If it rains.

So, what's the priority, bedding or rain?

- Bedding. - You think so?

- Yeah. - If we have bedding and it rains,

we're soaked. We're done.

I agree 100%.

But I heard it, like, doesn't rain here.

When it does, it's just for, like, 30 minutes.

Okay.

My partner suggested that we focus on the bed, versus rain protection.

So we'll focus on that and see how that works out.

It's quite the adventure. If it starts raining,

then I'll say, "I told you so."

If it doesn't, then it's a good plan.

I really don't want to tap out,

but I'm feeling so hopeless right now.

That was probably the worst night I've had here.

- Yeah. - We're both starving and it's freezing cold.

And it's just super uncomfortable.

I do miss the comforts of the city,

and I'm trying not to think about it too much, but that's the truth.

Damn it. They ate them.

So they ate all my traps.

Three hooks, no fish.

So far, the fish are doing the winning, not me.

But that can't stop us. We have to get to 14 days.

Gonna do a little fishing.

See if my luck gets better.

Very concerned about my partner, Elsa.

She's severely burnt.

But Elsa is a warrior, you know?

I hope things get better,

so we can try to finish this shelter,

and do what we gotta do to get up out of here.

I'm putting it right here because I know

there's fish action going on here.

You know, it's cold.

This is where they came,

and they took all three of my baits and my hooks.

So I'm gonna put it there in the water,

give it a little bit of time and see what happens.

We have a fire going.

I'm so tired and so cold.

This camera feels like ice.

It's just the most painful experience.

I don't know what to do right now.

An unexpected cold front has come in from the south,

sending temperatures plummeting

to an unprecedented 45 degrees.

It feels like torture, and it's.

This fire is scorching.

We can't go away from it. Because if we do,

our toes start freezing, our body starts freezing.

This is one of the hardest nights of my entire life.

I don't think either of us slept.

Maybe we got, like, 30 minutes of sleep by the end of the night.

I'm just literally trying to get warm enough

to go get water.

I'm gonna go check our fish traps.

Fingers crossed we have an awesome breakfast.

There are definitely parts of the night

where I didn't know, like, if I'd be able to make it.

Way more optimistic when the sun came up,

but then I just need a nap at some point.

Our main priority is our water, food and rest.

It takes a lot of energy to build a shelter,

when you're having to get water and everything every day.

It's just not worth the energy.

So, um, we wanna stay focused on throwing wood on the fire.

My feet are hurting really bad,

and I'm starting to feel fatigued now,

and I know I need food.

There's fish in that water.

We need it. We know there's fish in the water,

because we see them jumping around and moving around, so...

We have one last one.

- My God! - We got you!

We got you!

I cannot believe this worked.

- Yeah, it did. - My God.

My bait did the trick for me this morning.

Look at this! Yeah!

- Whoo! - Whoo!

- Look at this. - I feel so much better.

- Yeah. - My God.

So good, so good, so good, so good.

I know for a fact it's gonna taste better

than any catfish I've ever had.

My God. We're gonna eat.

Get your forky, forky,

- and get your piece-y, piece-y. - Thank you.

My God. The texture is so amazing.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Yay. - First bite.

So excited.

The first bite of that fish was, like, nutrients,

and this beautiful, flavorful light fish.

It was amazing.

This fish means everything.

I know that we can make it now.

It can totally get us to day 14.

Even if we don't find another one, we're good.

Thank you, catfish.

Thank you, nature.

Day 14 looks a lot better.

It just gives us a lot of hope.

This is really a gamechanger.

Foot's in pretty bad shape.

Day one, the insertion hike was pretty tough.

And it didn't catch up to me until today.

My right foot, in particular, just feels heavy.

You know, as I start looking at it,

I start to see a lot of blisters on my foot, lots of cuts.

All right.

I don't want this to be a reason

why I'm tapping out of the challenge.

As Chev's pain level continues to increase,

a medic is called in to examine his foot.

Okay. All right. See you later, buddy.

Thanks, Lee.

Chev is having a lot of issues with his feet,

so he can't really walk right now.

I'm having issues making fire,

and we need fire in order to get through the night.

Damn it.

We got a fish, but it's just not enough.

When you are so lacking in something and you have a little,

your body needs more, so I'm exhausted again.

It's really hot.

I tried touching those coals and I got burnt a lot.

Just pick them up with something.

You're crushing the fire when you make it like that.

A fire needs oxygen.

Without oxygen, it ain't going anywhere.

There's no oxygen in that fire right now,

because they're all crushed on top of each other.

You gotta space them a certain way.

I know. You're right, you're right.

And I'm wrong. I know that. I'm sorry.

I can't do this anymore.

This is unnecessary stress in my life.

I'm sorry for any way that I've hurt your feelings.

I'm exhausted, I'm having my own hardships.

I really apologize for anything that I've done.

I've basically carried you through your hardships.

I've helped you. I've stuck right by you

- from the beginning. - I wanna be there to help too.

I'm really happy to help you.

Elsa is great. You know, she's a good person.

But out here, it's not just being a good person.

It takes some skill. You need to know what you're doing,

or you're in a lot of trouble.

Wait, wait. Why are you killing it? There's fire.

Don't you see that's, that's lit?

No. God.

Is there any... -You're not supposed to step in the god damn dirt!

Okay, don't... I'll do it.

Now I gotta walk around on my feet, so I can't sit and wait.

There is definitely a lot of intense energy.

You know, his foot's very, very hurt.

He's not allowed to stand on it.

I feel this big sense of frustration in him,

but I can barely move in this climate right now.

It's so hot,

and, you know, entire body's burned,

and then, it's freezing cold at night.

I'm super light headed, and my heart is racing,

- so talking to me like that is not gonna help right now. - All right. Fine, fine.

- So, please, like, just try to be nice. - Can you please get me

a coal so I can put it in here?

I'm pretty annoyed right now,

because every time I say something, it's just crying.

I'm beyond belief, trying to be nice right now.

I feel like a walking, dried-out dead person right now.

It's literally hard to move because my skin hurts so bad.

You all right?

Our shelter's just not working, and it's not worth having up.

It's about to collapse.

There's no space around the fire because of the shelter,

- so we just need to get rid of it. - So, yeah, move it.

I'm really freezing, and I, and I can't sleep,

because I need to maintain the fire,

so that my body temperature is staying up high enough.

I'm just, um, feeling down,

and my thoughts big time right now.

These cuts on my foot,

I think the pain is getting to my head, so it's making me nauseous.

And it's weighing on my heart. It's, it's annoying me.

And it's, you know, making me suffer more than I plan to suffer.

I don't know how much more I can take of this.

I didn't come here to be in pain.

If it continues this way, it's gonna be a struggle,

and I'm not willing to go down the road it wants to take me.

Elsa.

- Um, I don't know. - What don't you know?

I don't think I can go any longer, honestly.

- What do you mean? - My legs, I can't move them.

They're stiff, they're hurting like crazy.

It's hurting more and more every day.

I tried my best, but the reality is,

I think it's just... I think it's time.

Wow. There is a grasshopper right here,

which would be a delicious snack,

but it could be even better bait.

All right. There we go.

Sorry, little guy. My God!

Damn. I feel so bad.

What did you get?

I got a grasshopper,

and I'm just struggling with it,

and he's, like, biting me, and he's really intense.

A grasshopper?

Okay, this is pathetic.

I need to learn how to kill a grasshopper.

This is really sad.

Okay, sorry, buddy.

My first kill.

Holy. God.

The grasshopper is still hopping, and he's dead.

Elsa, I think it's just... I think it's time.

Can you give it one more night?

Um... I don't know if I can be here without you.

I swear I know your pain is so bad,

and I know it is,

but let's try one more night, okay?

Yeah. I'll give it a day, all right?

Perfect.

On day one, you know, Elsa and I made each other

a promise that we wouldn't quit.

I appreciate, you know, Elsa sticking up

and standing up and telling me, "You got this. You can do it."

And it, kind of, got me back on track a little bit

to make me want to say, "Okay, I'll see what one more day does,"

and maybe I'll see what two more days does,

or three more days, or four more days, and finally, challenge over.

So we'll see how that plays out.

It's day ten.

I'm just doing the best I can

to get through the next few days.

My partner is good.

You know, I think he's good overall, I'm happy we both made it to today.

He seems a little more optimistic today.

I think we're gonna make it.

Hopefully we could just get through these next few days,

and look back on all this and smile.

Can I hand this to you?

'Cause I need to move this wood to get in there.

Thank you.

I had to do a little bit of digging deep in myself,

but, you know, I'm ready to just start punching through this challenge,

and just do what I gotta do.

You know, I'm in a good mindset right now, a positive mindset,

where I feel like I can do it.

I think we're in good shape.

Yeah, it looks like the rain is coming, or something like that,

'cause it's pretty chilly and it's a bit overcast.

It's definitely a little cooler today.

It's finally nightfall here on the tenth night.

And I do feel...

I feel the weather, but I'm hopeful the rain's gonna hold off or pass.

I'm excited to just rest a little more tonight,

enjoy the fire, and yeah, take on tomorrow.

We have no idea what time it is,

but it's raining, and it hasn't stopped.

I literally don't know what to do.

We couldn't get a shelter together.

If we had a shelter, at least we would have been able

to stay dry a lot longer.

It's too cold. I can't do this, man.

We can't stand next to the fire. It's burning our legs off.

We have to step away and then we're freezing.

I don't know if we're gonna make it through the night.

This is one of the most miserable moments of my life.

Last night was the most painful night of my entire life.

We are freezing. Everything is soaking wet.

We couldn't start a fire if we wanted to right now.

- We've got... - Nothing.

- Nothing. - No shot.

I'm sorry, Elsa. I wish I could have holded on a little longer...

- I'm sorry, too. - But I can't do it.

I feel like I'm on the verge of hypothermia,

and it sucks.

It's day 11, and we're only a few days away,

but I can't go on. I can't go on.

I've had enough, man. I'm done.

I don't know what to say. I'm just really exhausted.

It's time for us to get out of here.

Elsa to producers.

Go ahead.

We need to tap out. We're tapping out.

All right. Headed your way.

Hey, guys. What's going on?

I've hit that point, man.

I'm sorry, but I gotta go.

I don't have another hour in me here.

- Yeah. - It's freezing. I'm...

- I feel like I can't go on right now. - Yeah.

So, you're both tapping?

- Yeah, I'm tapping. - I'm tapping.

I'm tapping. I have to. Unfortunately, I have to.

There's nothing you guys think you can do to stay in this for now?

I'm... It's just not gonna happen.

If you guys wanna tap, we'll get you out of here, all right?

- Thank you. - Yeah, I gave it everything. It's just time.

Sorry, though.

It sucks. I didn't want to tap.

I wanted to finish the challenge.

But I can only take what I can take, and this is my threshold,

so I'm willing to walk away.

I'm definitely sad to tap so close.

I so badly wanted to make it to the extraction,

but I'm gonna cut myself some slack.

This is my first time doing this.

This is definitely the hardest thing I've done in my entire life.

So I have a huge respect for this challenge,

and for everybody that's come before me and survived this.

I don't know how much more extreme

a survival situation could get.

I couldn't have imagined this.

I prepared in every which way I possibly could.

I got my mind right, you know.

And, and for it to just cut short three days out,

it sucks.

We needed to put up a really protective, large shelter.

Yeah.

With only three days left in the challenge,

Elsa and Chev drop out.

Elsa's PSR drops from a 5.4 to a 4.8.

Chev's drops from a 5.8 to a 5.3.

So, anybody right now

that's watching this at home, on the couch,

you get off the couch, and you can try it and see what happens.

This is the real deal.

I believe that surviving out here

and surviving in the city is sink or swim.

I know a lot of New Yorkers could not...

Could not do this.

- Yeah. You never know. - But then again, you know, they're tough, they're tough.

- New Yorkers are tough, so... - It's a different toughness, though.

If you wanna find out what really is your kryptonite,

come out here, and this challenge will tell you.

Finally.

Green juice.
