[narrator]
in the ruthless jungles
of the peruvian amazon,

Four xl veterans
lead a new generation of
naked and afraid challenger

To the next level
of extreme survival.

[man] guys, snake, snake,
snake, look at anaconda.

[man] oh, my god. Wow.

Holy [bleep].

Hey, hey, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[narrator]
they have different missions

[man] 40 days is a milestone.

60 days will make me
definitely a legend.

[narrator]
but share one deadly foe.

[man] the jungle is
unruly and relentless.

[bleep]

[gary] everything out here
wants to kill you.

Everything. Every plant.

I got poisonous
sap in my eyes.

Every insect.

[lisa screams]

[lisa] more fire ants.

I got a leech on my penis.

[wretching]

[narrator]
but who has what it takes..

...To survive...

[narrator] snaking south
on a forgotten tributary
of the amazon river,

The survivalists begin
the challenge
in four groups of three.

To the south,

Xl legend steven
leads 40-day hopefuls

Lisa and tim into the murky
domain of the giant anaconda

Which can grow up
to 30 feet long.

[lisa]
do you still get nervous?

Yeah, absolutely.

There are so many unknowns
and unpredictable things
out here.

- Right.
- That's what makes it
the amazon.

My teammates should listen
to my advice,

Because I've done
this five times.

I just did 60 days
less than a year ago.

Look at this.

- There it is.
- Yes.

Textbook.

But there's
always another tier.
There's always another goal

And the amazon,
it's its own monster.

[lisa] you know, I've had
several challenges in my lif

Breast cancer.
I kicked its ass twice.

And on my first challenge
in the bahamas,

I was definitely digging
really deep.

I didn't come all this way
not to make it.

And I did it mostly by mysel

So now it would be epic
if I would make it to 40 days.

Looks like our home, guys.

Let's do the thing.

[tim] you know,
this challenge of 40 days
in the amazon jungle

With all these bugs.
This is definitely extreme.

-[steven] home, sweet home.
Unbridled, wild amazon.
-[tim] yeah.

But in my last challenge
in africa,

I think I left
a lot on the table.

And I think with this
40-day challenge,

I think I could push
my body more.

[steven] clothes off,
no defense for bugs anymore.

- [lisa] nope.
- [tim] nope.

[narrator] three miles north
xl veteran gary

Joins forces with rod and wa
where the dark waters team

With flesh eating piranha

And aggressive black caiman
hunt the shoreline.

On my last challenge
in the swamps,

I was there for 60
and I didn't make it.

It's a real gator.

Hey, guys,
have you seen my contacts?

You know,
like mom always told me,
don't play with your food.

Oh, my god.

Did you see my contacts, e.J.?

[e.J.] no, gary.

[gary] set some
alligator eyeballs in my head,
and I got sick.

This animal could have
some kind of a disease.

We start pushing
the envelope like that.

You can get yourself
in trouble.

I went to the challenge
to tap.

I left because
I was physically defeated,
broke down.

So I'm here for redemption.

This is a really intense
environment to come out here

And spend 40 days in,
but that's my lifestyle.

I've always pushed it
to the next level

And I've never not succeeded
at anything I've ever tried.

I do a ton of archery huntin

To be able to go out
and bring food
to the table for my tribe.

- Look what I got?
- [woman] oh, my god.

- It's huge.
- We got this now.

[waz] someone better
warn the amazon,
the boys are coming.

[gary] yeah, right?

750 pounds of jungle
beefcake that needs to eat.

[rod]
we're gonna dominate this.

- [gary] let's do it. Whoa!
- [rod] let's get it done.

[rod tarzan's yell]

[waz] this is where
the fun begins, right?

-[rod] yeah.
-[gary]
it's time to get naked.

[waz]
time to get to work, boys.

This location
is the pinnacle of survival
and I'm never gonna quit.

It's just not in my nature.

I was trained in the military
and that's what's gonna get me
through to the finish line.

And that's my goal
at the end of the day,

And that's
what's gonna happen.

[gary] if you felt
that ride was long,

Look for this next ride
we're on.

[narrator] one mile south.

Kaila guides dan and jamie
into a snake infested
flood zone,

Swarming with
parasitic mosquitoes,

Biting black flies
and deadly scorpions.

We're on the frigging
amazon river, guys.

- It's like, it's crazy.
- [dan] wow!

I'm happy and elated,
terrified and depressed

And a little overarching
feeling of impending doom.

I'm scared as [bleep].

I'm terrified out here
right now

And what we're about
to get into.

[jamie] this thing is one
of the most dangerous things,
you can't see.

I'm a biologist,
and I know that out here
you have diseases

Like dengue and chikungunya,
and there's botulism
in the soil.

There are diseases
left and right,

Half of which are described
by science.

It could take you out
in a second.

- This is gonna require
next level skills.
- [kaila] definitely.

You have to be strong,
strong-minded
to survive out here.

These is nothing like africa.
Nothing like africa.

On my exile in south africa,
I was the first female
to take down a big game kill.

[kaila speaking]

After I finished
my 40-day challenge,

I just felt like
I could conquer anything.

And now I'm ready to conque
60 days in the amazon jungl

And feel like
it's the next step.

I'm ready to take it
to that next level.

[jamie] this is by far
the hardest thing

I've ever taken on in my life
and get the whole
of scotland behind me as well.

Of course, it's going
to be absolutely brutal
as well as it's a challenge.

And I'm up for it.

[dan] whoa!
Come on, jamie, get that kilt.

[narrator] five miles south
amber takes the helm
with jen and trish,

As they push deep into
the unknown where
trees ooze a poisonous sap

And provide cover
for lurking jaguars.

[amber] I got to be honest,
there is a lot of things that
will literally try to eat us.

Jaguars are pretty aggressive.

I got a chance
to experience them
in ecuador.

I have a ton of experience
with xl challenges.

I accomplished
the 40-day challenge
in ecuador.

Oh, [bleep]. Oh, my god.
This is what we call dinner
in the amazon.

And when I was
in louisiana for the 60-day
legend challenge,

I crushed it.

Let's get this cooking.

Another fish.

Yeah!

I would have made it.
I would have made 60 days.

But because of the freezing
cold weather temperatures,

My foot swelled up
like a club.

[medic] I'm sorry.
I have to medically tap you.

You might have
a pulmonary embolism
and you could die.

[amber] being medically
pulled devastated me.
It broke my heart.

Now, nothing's gonna
stop me out here.

This is my last chance
at redemption.

- But, man, it's the amazon,
and it's gonna eat us alive.
- Yeah.

Mosquitoes, bullet ants,
a lot of creepy crawlies

That are gonna
tear us right up,
but not tear us down.

This is gonna be
the harshest environment
that we could ever take on.

But my biggest fear
is the rain.

Because it may get cold.
We might not have fire.

And the cold is what kept m
from completing
my 21-day challenge.

[jen speaking]

[jen] and I am going home.

It got down
to 28 degrees in bulgaria

And I physically had
to make that choice to leave

So I definitely feel like
I have a lot
to prove out here.

I'm excited I don't have to
look at a bunch of ball sacs
hanging around.

- Oh my gosh, isn't that nice?
- Yeah.

I am not the type of person
who keeps something in.

I think the jaguars just have
to watch out for the cougars.

[trish] but I think you nee
to have a no [bleep] attit

To take on something
like this.

And there's no other way
to be except successful
out here.

I mean, there's no room
for failure out here.

It's all or nothing.

So I feel like as long as
nobody goes through pms,
we'll be great.

- [jen] hey, let's do this.
- [trish] here we are.

[amber] welcome to our home,
60 days of hell.

[jen] oh, my gosh, you guys.

[jen speaking]

[trish speaking]

I see our bags.

[gary speaking]

- And we got a pot.
- [trish] and we got a pot.

[narrator] for the challenge
each team receives a pot fo
boiling and purifying water

[steven] and the cool part
about it is,

Is it actually acts like
a pressure cooker.

[narrator]
while each survivalist
has chosen a personal blade

- I've got my kukri.
- [amber] sweet.

[narrator]
plus one additional item

They think
will help their team
survive in the amazon.

Fire is gonna be
crucial out here
through the storms.

[steven]
we got 50-pound braid,

So if we do get something big,
start to break off.

Whoa!

[trish]
shelter in this environment

I think is gonna
be pretty important.

I brought my trusty
bow and arrows.

I know there's some
big animals out here.

That's what I used
when I was out in africa.

-Really?
-Yeah.
I shot a warthog with it.

Wow.

[jamie speaking]

Yeah.

- I brought a blow gun.
- [steven] I'm loving it, dude.

[tim] it's 5-inch darts,
razor tipped.

[steven]
that's where it originated
in the amazon was a blow gun.

[tim] exactly.

And I feel it's a good fit,
if I got more birds then,
you know.

[steven] absolutely.
This should do good for us.

- [tim] yeah.
- [waz] we're gonna rock this.

- We have
all the tools we need.
- [gary] everything we need.

Eating like kings in no time.

I have something else.
The map.

It looks like there might be
a couple of little open areas,

Maybe a water source
over here.

[dan] over here, it looks like
there's some elevation gain

Which is gonna give some
different species assemblages.

This is really low, so we got
to get up in the high ground.

Yeah, we want to get away
from these bugs.

Get away from the water
and the bugs.

- [gary] yeah.
- We head off that way.

Awesome.
Let's get this done.

- [dan] ready?
- Yeah. Let's go.

-[dan] let's go.
-Let's do this.
See what we find.

[amber] I cannot believe
how many ants
are on the ground.

[jen] I'm getting eaten
alive right now.

Oh, look at the water, guys.

- [trish] oh, nice.
- [amber] yeah.

Looks like this
is an open area.

What if we just use those
two trees right there?

It can work.

It is a lot of cutting,
but this could be
our first option.

Yeah, I'd like to see
what else we have around us,

Just to make sure we're not
in the middle
of a mosquito fest,

Even though we are.

But, like, make sure
there's not another pool.

Okay, let's keep looking.

I'm actually really excited
having two female partners.

I think that it would be great
to have a guy on our team,

But I told myself
I see the possibilities

And I'm pretty sure
that having
the female dynamic here,

They're gonna
work just as hard.

[trish] I like this spot.
It's covered.

It'll give us a little bit
of rain cover for,
like, 5 minutes.

- [amber] right here?
- [trish] I like this.

[amber]
beds are off the ground.
It's a c-shape.

All of the ground,
fire in the middle.

And then
we start building four post

And then we have
the a-frame on top,
like a small home, like a hu

- Okay.
- What do you think?

- I like it.
- Let's start chopping down.

[jamie speaking]

[dan] yep.

We need to get a roof
over our heads for tonight.

- There could be
snakes in here.
- Yeah.

It could be
some tarantulas.

[kaila]
yeah, it looks like the water
opens up more over there.

Wow.
Look at all those
trees over there.

That looks like a nice area.

[dan] it looks like there's
some clearing over here

And a downed tree
and see what that looks like.

[jamie] good idea.

[kaila] I'm so excited that
dan and jamie are my partner

I think that I might need
subtitles for jamie sometimes,

Because sometimes I don't
really know what he's saying.

- Yeah. Check out these
ficus tree guys.
- [jamie] wow.

That's actually, actually
looks really cozy in there.

[kaila]
yeah, they're beautiful.

Oh, we could find
something like this,

And then we could just already
have our shelter raised up.

And we're pretty close
to the water.

Close enough,
where we can go down there

And get water
whenever we want.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

But far enough away where
the bugs aren't gonna get us.

-[dan] okay. Exactly.
-[kaila] yeah.
All right, cool. Let's do it.

[jamie] yeah.

[kaila]
dan, I got another big beam.

[dan] yeah. Cool.
And the one
I have will make four.

[kaila] awesome.

[dan]
building like a big quad pod

On three sides
of the quad pod,

We'll have the three beds
for the three of us.

And then there should
be space, hopefully,
in the center for fire.

I was thinking.
Yeah, you lashed them
all together as a bundle

- And you could lift it up
and spread it out.
- [jamie] let's do it.

It's just gonna be
[bleep] tough,
because it's a lot of weight.

[kaila] we could also,
like, lift them up

And then, like,
climb that tree,
tie them up top there.

[jamie]
yes. At least the stand.

[dan]
oh, I see what you're saying.

[kaila] you know
what I mean, like yeah.

[jamie] and then
it will open them up.

- [dan] that's a great idea.
- [kaila] yeah.

I don't think there's any way
we're gonna be
able to tie them.

[dan] yeah, like knead them
on that bend right there.

- [kaila] yeah and then.
- Yep.

[dan] smart.

- Great idea.
- Yay!

[waz] wow!
Now, this is
some thick jungle.

[rod] this will be
tough for hunting.

[gary] oh, yeah.
This is tough for hunting.
Yeah.

And moving around
in any other directions.

[waz] there you go.
There's the mud.

- [gary] yeah.
- [waz] the mud and the muck.

Feel it between your toes.

[rod] just the opportunity
for infection,

Especially on the wet ground
you got to watch
for the snakes,

Watch for the spiders,
watch for things

That are lurking in the dark
that want to take
a bite out of it.

So today's priority
number one is our shelter

To get raised beds
off the ground,
so we can stay dry.

[gary] wow. Look at this.
We've got palm trees.

A whole bunch.
Look, a whole bunch of palms.

That big tree, this big tree.

[rod] it's a good bit
of structure out there.

[gary] big tree in the corner,
we have stuff
to like work with.

Yeah. It's like... it's almost
like it's all framed up.

We're just gonna
fill in the gaps.

Yeah.
And look at the cortege.

[rod] we have tons of cortege.

-[waz]
so we got everything here.
-Yeah.

[rod]
yeah, I think this is it.

- You think you guys agree?
- [gary] I agree.

- It's the best one so far, so.
- [gary] yeah.

Let's stop chatting about it.

- [rod] let's make it happen.
- Time to get to work.

[gary] yeah.

Yeah, that's what
I've seen coming.

- Got that, all right?
- Oh, yeah.

I'm out here with
what seems to be two awesome,

Strong men that are hungry
to achieve a 40-day

And I got to see if I could
earn that 60-day mark.

Amazon, I'm back.

[rod]
are we starting on fire?

[waz speaking]

[rod]
you want to come over here

And grab the end
and I'll spin this around?

[waz speaking]

[gary] oh. Oh, not me.

[rod]
no, not you.

Gary is gary.

Gary's a unique character.

I mean, he's... I think
he's got a ton of talent,
a ton of skill.

He's a fun guy to be around.

[gary speaking]

[rod] that's okay.
You're good.

Oh, I saw that one coming.

Hold it up and I'm gonna put a
bunch of clay around it.

- Okay?
- [jen] sure.

[trish]
I'm happy about my saw.

I feel like I've been able
to cut down a lot of stuff.

Oh, snap.

I think that
is the poison tree
right there.

There's all the bumps,
the thorns on it,
on the whole bark.

And I know that that's
a dangerous tree.

[narrator]
one of the many poisonous
plants in the amazon.

The sandbox tree emits
a toxic resin that can
cause painful rashes,

Nausea and even internal
bleeding if ingested.

[trish] oh yeah,
I wouldn't even be trying
anything with that tree.

That made me nervous.

So we need
two more of these
and I feel lightheaded.

I'm like...

- [trish] yeah.
- Yeah.

[jen] breathe.

- [amber] we have
to get this done so bad.
- [jen] yeah.

[bleep] I would love
to sit down, but can't.

I just need one minute.
I'll be okay.

[jen] yeah.

[amber]
I am feeling like crap.

I am really struggling
right now

And we don't even know
what it's from.

I just hope that
I feel better.

I feel so sick.

I'm not doing good.
I may need to go puke.

[trish] just seeing amber
like struggling

On the first day is like,
oh, man.

[trish] this is the first da
and what's next?

- [amber] sorry, ladies.
- Is she okay?

[trish] she's jungle
bulimic right now.

[jen]
let's go see if she's okay.

Okay.

Pukey moment. Day one.

I'll be good in like
a couple of minutes,
I promise.

[jen] come on.
You've had children
come out of your vagina.

- You can handle this.
- [amber] yeah.

I don't know what happened.

I could have had a reaction
to some of the vegetation
out here in the amazon.

Did I touch something
like a tree or a plant
and touch my mouth?

Or could it be the humidity?
This is no joke.

Amazon is such a crazy place.

It's just going
to take a while
for our bodies to acclimate

So I'm feeling
a little better.

I'm puking.

Okay. Reset.

[narrator] for this special
dual track challenge,

Teams will be evaluated
each week on a modified scal

The xls or xl success metri
will weigh each group's
collective skills

And survival status
to determine
a likely percentage

Of reaching their
respective milestones.

Amber brings valuable
amazon experience
and elite fishing skills.

-Yeah!
-[man]
another freaking catfish.

She's cat woman.

[narrator] but has already
been slowed by the jungle.

[narrator] trish has proven
herself in a brutal
rainforest environment.

While jen showed
great resilience
in her fan challenge,

But has yet to survive
beyond the 14-day level.

I can't load this
with that one here.

[narrator] as a result,
their combined xls

Or chance of reaching
their survival mission
targets is set at 43%.

[amber] whatever it was,
I hope it passed

Or it's going to be
a long 60 days.

[jamie] so right now,
I'm just... just sloshing up
some lattice,

Where we can weave
some of these leaves through
and this environment,

The weather can change
in a blink of an eye.

Well, I proved my first 21-day
challenge in south africa,

That I can go many
nights in the rain.

We just need to face it.

We're not gonna
have a shelter tonight.

Still strong than ever.
God.

So here in amazon,
it is extremely important
that we have a good shelter.

[dan] yum.

This water does not
look very appetizing.

-Chocolate water.
Thank you. Awesome.
-Chocolate water.

- It doesn't smell terrible.
- Perfect.

We're doing good.

[kaila] we are. This is great.
I'm psyched, guys.

[dan] you can tell
kaila's done this before.

Like she's been around.

She's tried and true
and tested and never failed.

So I'm happy
to have her here for sure.

[narrator] kayla's
superior hunting skills
are a major strength.

[kaila] woo-hoo!

[narrator] complemented
by dan's plant knowledge

And high survival iq,
plus jamie's scavenging skil
and spirited confidence.

Come on. Yes.

[narrator]
they begin their challenge

With a projected group
success rate of 59%.

[dan]
starting to look like a home.

[kaila] yay!

[tim] steve, this looks great.

[steven] it's doing the trick.
There you go.

We found this
amazing tree with a...
with a huge natural canopy.

Working on our
elevated platforms.

The ground is alive,
like you look at it
and it moves.

You know, there's
everything down there

From scorpions to spiders
to snakes.

So elevated platform
is a key move to us.
That's the plan.

[lisa] we're thinking
at least a foot
off the ground.

[steven]
thinking, you know, u it up.

So body, body, body.
Fire in the middle.

- [lisa] and if I see
some wires for the beds. Okay.
- [steven] yeah.

- Sounds like a plan.
- [lisa] so firewood and wires

And then you have it clear.

[steven] we'll clear it
and start a little fire
and get a pot of water going.

[lisa] sounds good.

[steven] tim and lisa,
we're melding well as a team.

We got the same ideas
and game plans,
which is awesome.

- [tim] looking legit.
- [lisa] yeah.

- [steven] yeah.
- I'm gonna put a whole bunch
of leaf litter on top

And hopefully,
maybe a little mattress.

I'm just happy
to be off the ground.

- [lisa] yeah.
- [tim] yeah.

[narrator] steven's skill
and experience is legendary

And lisa brings proven
toughness to the team,

While tim offers a high leve
of camp craft and innovation

They're starting team
xls score is set at 72%.

[steven] atta, girl.
First fire, baby.

Fire makes everything
so much better, right?

So much better.
Already feels like home.

[lisa chuckles]

[waz] all right, everything's
gonna go on top. That's right.

[gary]
yeah, it goes like this.
And then we fold.

Oh, I think I just heard
the first mosquito in my ear.

[rod] it's just getting worse,
it wasn't like that earlier.

- [gary] no, it wasn't.
- It's eating me alive.

- [rod] what is it?
- [gary] the flies.

[waz]
the flies are coming out.

- The other bugs
are coming out.
- Yeah, they are.

The bugs in the amazon,
I'm expecting to be insane.

I'm getting eaten alive
by blood sucking flies.

[narrator]
even more aggressive
and painful than mosquitoes

Female black flies
seek out blood meals both

Day and night
to nurture their eggs.

[gary]
I'm just itching like mad.

[waz] oh, I know,
it is nonstop buzzing.

[rod] we don't have a raised
bed to get off the floor

With all the moving
creepy things.

So tomorrow
we'll focus on that
in bettering our shelter.

[gary groans]

[narrator]
gary brings proven grit
and know how,

But also a history
of risky decision making.

[woman] oh, his penis.
You're gonna eat that?

[narrator] waz has elite ski
and military training.

[bleep]

[narrator]
while rod's hunting prowess

Should provide protein
to the group.

They receive an initial tea
xls rating of 66%.

Got our main frame
for a lean to up

And we're getting
some shingling on.

- In the process,
we're itching like mad.
- [waz] yeah.

These... these bugs or insects
or whatever
that are getting me.

- Ain't no joke.
- [gary] yeah.

[waz] no joke at all.

I can feel a bombshell over
my back as well as everywhere.

[rod] oh, man.

It is midnight
and you have no idea

Of the absolute torture
these mosquitoes are.

Holy cow.

This is my biggest fear.

- [waz] the bugs?
- [rod] yeah.

[gary]
I totally understand that.

[rod speaking]

[rod]
this is my living nightmare.

[lisa] 1 a.M.
And like we haven't slept.

[steven]
and the mosquitoes are

Really tearing us up
into pieces.

We're, like, miserable.

This is like top five most
miserable days of my life.

-[tim] it's my top one period.
-[lisa] top.
Top. Yeah. Just sucks. Sucks.

[jen] the bugs
are insane out here.

A lot of sounds in the amazon.

[jen speaking]

[jen] ouch. Gosh.
These flies are biting so bad.

-[amber] yeah, I know.
-[jen]
I'm like being devoured.

[kaila speaking]

[dan] night one.

First there was a big plague
of black flies,

Which are still here
and went away
for about 10 minutes.

And then the second wave
of mosquitoes came in,

Tried to completely cover
ourselves in mud.

I thought I did a good job,
but they're biting
literally everywhere,

- Where I missed.
- [jamie] ow!

What the [bleep] was that?

This is horrible.

Jamie's having
a really hard time.

He hasn't gotten
any sleep at all.

[jamie] I've done
sleep deprivation before,

But this is just
a whole new level.

Having to stand constantly
and if I don't stand,
I get eaten.

[jamie speaking]

[jamie]
I'm just getting eaten alive.

[kaila] they're bad,
they're relentless.

[dan] yeah.

[jamie] it's day two.

Last night was one
of the hardest nights
I've had.

And it's not just one night
of no sleep.

It's constantly moving around
trying to get rid of flies.

[bleep] feet on fire.

Looks like
they're gonna explode.

[jamie speaking]

This place is [bleep] tough.

[kaila] you wanna stand out
in the mud with me?

[kaila] it might help.

If I see one of my teammates
struggling, you know,

I want to help them out
the best way that I can.

[dan] jamie's getting
really down on himself.

Poor kid
is suffering right now.

I think our priority
for the day is figuring out
how to sleep more comfortabl

If we can get a better roof,
it'll keep the smoke in
and the bugs out.

And most importantly,
I think it'll really improv
jamie's situation.

[jamie] I've not had
one minute of sleep.

- [kaila] yeah, I know.
- Not even one minute.

I know.
Just keep mudding up.

[bleep] day two.
I've never been to my limit.

This is definitely my limit.

Can I keep on going?

I don't know.

This place is [bleep] hell.

[rod] is this just a bridge
across the mud, is that why
you're chopping this one down?

[gary] no, I'm not gonna
raise the bed.

Are you gonna chop
that straight through it,
that top bit?

[gary] yeah.

[rod] we literally got
maybe 30 minutes of sleep.

The mosquitoes.
They were relentless.

Taking down some trees,
building some shelter,
making it comfortable.

That's like primary
number one.

We're gonna start cutting down
this amazon rainforest.

You know, I got the pulaski.

What else do I need to say?

Come on. Let's go, people.

Let's go tear up some
amazon rainforest.

Oh [bleep].

Chop down this tree here
to make a raised bed.

And some of the sap
got in my eyes.

This sap is poisonous.

It'll kill you
if you drink it.

My eyes are very irritated.

[narrator] the milky resin
of the katoa tree contains

Varying levels of cyanic aci
which can cause mild

To serious burning of the ey
and can be deadly
if ingested into the stomach

[waz] how you feeling gary?

I'm feeling all right,
I just got some of
that sap in my eyes.

[waz] yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[gary] [bleep], it's burning
my eyes a little bit.

- Burning?
- Yeah.

What type of burn is it?

-[gary]
it's manageable right now.
-[waz] yeah.

We're definitely concerned
about gary hurting his eyes,

But we still have jobs
to do as well,

And I'll keep going
and checking on him.

That's the best
I can do right now.

Let me know if your symptoms
get worse, all right?

Yeah. All right, buddy.
Thank you.

[lisa] look, you have
two biting flies on you,
three, four, five, six, ew.

- The worse night ever.
- [steven] yeah.

[lisa] like this trumps, like,
breast cancer with chemo
and radiation, childbirth.

What kind of suffrages
do you ever had.

This is gonna be constant,
the bugs aren't gonna change.

- Yeah.
- It scares
the [bleep] out of me.

[steven] I can tell lisa is
having kind of a hard time,

So I'm trying to wrack my,
you know,

Primitive survival brain
to figure out
what we can do to fix that.

All right.
So we're doing an a-frame.

We're gonna get a pole,
put it in that
little tree nook

And then debris it up
and beds inside.

- [lisa] right.
- [tim] okay.

[steven] it's fairly narrow,
but then it'll be able

To keep the smoke in
and keep the critters out.

[lisa] so I'm praying that
this shelter works in
smoking it out.

-[yeah] yeah. I think...
-[lisa]
let's put positive in the air.

-[steven]
positivity for goddess tree.
-[lisa] it's gonna work.

Yes, it's gonna work.

Ooh, I have,
when you stand up,
do you feel a little hoo-hoo.

[tim] lisa's struggling
with the bugs,

So we need to be in closing
just to keep
the bugs off of us,

So we can get
a nice sleep tonight.

This would not only
help her with the bugs,
it'll help immensely big tim

- So I got by.
- [steven] all right.

[amber]
I just can't stop itching.

[jen] I know, I'm like
we're just, like, swatting.

Ouch.

How do we get
flies to go away?

You know, I did notice
some termite.

What look like termite
over there, termite mound.

- Mm-hmm.
- Let's divide and conquer.

You guys get the termite nest,
and I'm going to work
on the shelter.

I'm just trying to think
of what we could
do to prevent last night

Ever happening
to a soul again.

-[trish] all right, let's go.
We're leaving.
-Okay.

[amber]
I feel pretty confident
in our shelter right now,

But I'm looking forward
to being able to be
in the shelter minus the bugs.

Yesterday was really tough.

I felt really bad puking
on day one,

Trying to build a shelter
before the sun goes down.

And now, I feel way better.

We've been really focusing
on the shelter.

- We're looking really good.
- [trish] okay.

[amber] so I'm blessed
that today is rock star day.

Okay.

Looks good.

[trish] oh, look,
there is a termite mound
and we could totally reach.

[jen] yeah.

-[trish] oh, yeah.
-[jen]
yeah. We can just pull it off.

[narrator]
since termites contain trac
amounts of naphthalene,

A chemical used
for fumigation,

Their nests are often
burned by local tribes
as a natural insect repellen

[amber] all right. Hold on.

[trish]
well, look at all these.

You want lunch?
It's got nice little lemonade.

[jen]
they're crawling all over.

- Too many. You got it?
- [trish] yeah.

- This thing is heavy.
- [jen] yeah.

That's pretty
to get through here.

We didn't get any sleep
last night.

The bugs were insane.
We need to be sleeping.

It's crucial out here.
So really hoping
that this works.

- [trish] okay.
- Right there.

[jen]
we got the termite mound.

- Oh, I'm happy.
- [jen] yeah.

- [amber] so cool.
- [jen] yeah. All right.

It's loaded.
I got termites all over me.

[amber] oh, my gosh.

[jen] hopefully we'll
have less bugs tonight.

- [kaila] can you get it
from the inside?
- [jamie] yeah.

[jamie] my feet are pounding,
throbbing, swollen.

It looks like
I could die any minute.

[bleep]

How are you doing, man?

These bugs are destroying me.

[dan] here. Come have a seat.

[jamie] I could just
feel it all over my body.

There's no escape from it.

[kaila]
I get it. It's painful.
You look like you're in pain.

[jamie speaking]

[kaila] yeah.

[jamie speaking]

[jamie] I can hardly walk.

[kaila]
I wish we can make it better.

[dan] I know.

[jamie]
I mean, it's good enough,

Never questioning things,
never giving up,

But gotta be a time
when you draw the line
and this is it.

[bleep]

[jamie speaking]

[jamie] I'm so disappointed.

[kaila] we hate to see you go,
but you got to do
what's best for you.

[jamie]
what we said, you know,

People will regret it
as soon as they leave,

But I'll always
remember this pain.

It's just torture.

I thought I could
take anything.

I thought I could
take any environment.

Truly humbled.

[dan] I'll miss you, man.

It's tough as hell.

- [jamie] see you.
- [kaila] okay. You too.

[jamie] how far would you
suspect these people
that done 40, 50, 60 days,

But people that come
to the amazon [bleep].

This place is [bleep].

[bleep] hell.

[dan] it's really sad
to see jamie leave.

This place is vicious.
It's totally unforgiving.

[kaila] it's only day two,
the amazon sucks
like africa and colombia

Was a breeze compared
to this place.

This place is just hell.

It's just us.

Just us now.

- [rod] you want help...
- yeah.

[waz] gary, do you need help?

[rod] you got it?

- [gary] sorry, guys.
- Don't be sorry.

These things happen,
man, it's all good.

Just look...
just look after yourself.

You good?
Same symptoms?

You getting headaches?
What?

-[gary]
nah, just [bleep] eyes.
-[rod] burnt eyes.

Gary's go big or go home.
That's what he wanted to do.

He's chopping down on a tree,

Not really knowing
what kind of tree it was

And everything out here
wants to kill you.

The mosquitoes
wasn't enough last night.

- You needed more torture.
- Yeah.

You know, so the dangers
that we face every day,

You know, whether
we want to pay attention

To are they real
or are they there or they not?

- They are.
- [gary] all right.

I feel like I should rinse
with that [bleep] water.

-[waz] ah, probably not.
-[rod]
I wouldn't because it's not...

- [waz] it can make it worse.
- [rod] ...It's not purified.

[gary] it's burning

And it keeps getting worse,

Keeps getting worse.

[rod]
so that's probably one thing

That I'd go get sorted,
you know.

[gary] yeah.

[producer speaking]

Looks like I'm in
big trouble right now.

I'm in big trouble.

[man speaking in
foreign language]

[edwin] the katoa tree
that gary tried to cut it.

It's like a very painful.

You clean it,
you clean the resin,
the resins coming down.

Yeah. Okay.

The eyes is very bad,

Because it's very toxic
this plant.

Careful.

[narrator] after rinsing
the resin from gary's face,

Medics apply a serum known
to neutralize the effects
of the toxins in his eyes.

Look up like this.

[narrator] in most cases,
symptoms are alleviated
in 1 to 2 hours.

Do not open.

- Do not open? Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

The medic told me to keep
my eyes closed for 3 minutes
with these eye drops in.

I mean,
what if I just have to,
I might have to go.

That would suck.

[tim] always feels
better to have a home.

- [lisa] yeah, it does.
- [steven] yeah.

I mean, it's gonna leak
if it rains for three days
in a row, if it rains all day.

But with this canopy above us,
that thing is huge.

- [tim] yeah.
- [steven] I'm not worried
about the rain.

-[lisa]
I'm worried about the bugs.
-Yeah.

I'll take rain over bugs
any day.

- [lisa] right, right. Yeah.
- [tim] yeah.

- We'll grab some
termite mounds?
- [steven] yeah.

[lisa]
I was seriously considering

That not going through
with day two.

It was by far the worst night
I've had in my life.

It was worse
than the mosquitos
in the bahamas.

I can't even breath right now.

This is...
there's no escaping it.

There's not an inch of skin
without a bug bite.

But I'm no quitter,
so hopefully tonight

We'll get
a good night's sleep.

It's what I'm depending
on to get me through.

[steven] here it is.

[tim] how's it feel?

- [steven] heavy.
- Looking around.

[tim] hey.

Here's that tree that grows
that fruit off the trunk.

- That's a cannonball fruit,
dude.
- Absolutely.

- That's the anti-mosquito.
- You know it.

- You know, we need it.
- [steven] god. It is up there.

[tim]
you can shoot it out, bud.

Absolutely.
God, I'm 40 years old.

[bleep] I can't say
that to you, man.

Well, you said that to me.

[narrator] the inside
of the cannonball fruit
contains a petroleum ether,

Which emits an unpleasant od
and can be used
as an insect repellent

By rubbing it onto the skin

[tim] I said, if we can
get one of these fruit,

It would be a... it would be
a game changer for lisa.

- [steven] hundred percent.
- [tim] uh-oh.

- What we have up here?
- [steven] what do we have?

What we have?
What we have?

- [tim] yeah, baby.
- [steven] yeah.

That's awesome.
That's awesome.

Feel how heavy this is.

[steven]
legitimate game changer.

Monkeys, they break it open.

They chewed up,
they rub it on their skin.

Anti-mosquito,
anti-lice, anti-fly.

Hell, yeah, dude.
Good eye, tim. [bleep].

Hell yeah. That's awesome.

Go back and change lisa's day.

It's been hours.
It's been hours.

And I'm fighting it.
It's getting worse and worse.

I'll be worthless out here
if I'm blind.

Gosh.

[waz] gary, we'll come
and check on you.

[gary] my eyes are... my eyes
are just getting like worse.

It just keeps getting
worse and worse

And that's just
starting to scare me.

[rod] I understand.

[gary] I can't keep playing
with my eyes, man.

Is it escalating?

[gary] yeah, it's escalating.

I got to go.
I got to go to the hospital.

[elon] let's pack them up,
put them in the bush.

[bleep]

[rod] we got
to get you into a hospital.

[waz]
I mean, you don't want to,

You don't want
to risk blindness.

[rod] no.
Feeling for you, man.

I wish there was something
I could do for you.

[bleep] worthless.

[waz] you know, your eyes
are a pretty important thing.

You only get one set
of eyeballs in life,
so he's run to the hospital,

See if they can
get him sorted out.

So there's no permanent
long term damage.

You all right, buddy.

-Sorry, guys.
-[waz] don't just [bleep]
look after [bleep] yourself.

[rod] man, there's no reason
to say sorry.

[waz]
you got to look after [bleep]

All right, bro.

[bleep] get your eyes
taken care of.

It's all right.

Legends fall.

Legends fall.

The tree that he was
cutting on was poisonous.

And the splatter of the bar
from the sap
that's in it got in his eye

And it took him out.

It took out, you know,
you're talking a six-time
veteran out here.

It's sad to see him
out on day two.

[gary speaking]

[rod]
but man, that's a huge letdown
that gary's gone.

[waz] I wish he was
still out here with us,
but at the end of the day,

- You got to look out
for yourself.
- [rod] you do.

I mean, you worry
about blindness,

You worry about
long term effects.

Not how I wanted
it to be [bleep].

I have to be here right now.

I'm so sorry.

[medic] three inches up.

[narrator] gary is evacuate
to a medical facility
in a town 15 miles away,

Where he fully recovers
within three days
and returns home.

[lisa] so steven
is getting ready to cut open
this cannonball fruit

That like deters
mosquitoes and insects.

We've been trying every method
that we know
and it's not working.

So hopefully this is good.

[steven] you chew it up,
you spit it in your hand,

You rub it on your body,
it's a really good time.

[lisa] yeah.

[tim] woo, it's bitter.

[bleep]

[steven] we'll find out
tonight I guess.

If the bugs are as bad
as they were yesterday,

That's gonna be a problem
for everybody out here.

[amber] we are trying
our first termite smoke out

To see if it will clear out
the shelter

From all the mosquitoes
that have been waiting for us.

I hope every single bug
hates this

And this will actually
work tonight

Because, oh, it was
so bad last night.

We got the smoking mound
from the termites.

There's smoke going up.

Hopefully, we'll get rid of
some of the mosquitoes.

They're all out there.

You see all the mosquitoes
out in front of the shelter?

[jen] hopefully,
we'll have less bugs tonight.

[rod] before you do much,
take a y
and go stick in the back.

[waz] after one
of the most brutal nights

Of unendurable pain
from these mosquitoes,

We're trying to get
this raised platform shelter.

We're hoping that just
that little bit of clearance
from the ground

Is what's gonna
help us tonight.

So this is the shelter
that we built yesterday.

Gary helped us do that.

I'm grateful that
we had this opportunity

To learn a little bit
from gary

And be around him
and learn who gary is.

You know, gary left his axe
and his fire starter,
which I'm grateful for that.

It's kind of like
there's a part of him

That we will carry
to the end of this challenge.

[waz] oh, I'm gonna sleep.

- [rod] does that feel awesome?
- [waz] like a king.

This is gonna be
a raised platform shelter
for the night.

We're gonna see
if that's high enough

And keeps us away
from the mosquitoes.

Tonight's a bit of a test run,
but I did lay down on it
and it is comfy.

It gets a waz seal
of approval, that's for sure.

[rod]
oh, bro, this is awesome.

It feels good already.

[kaila speaking]

[kaila] jamie, [indistinct]
I wish it would just rain.

I'd rather have the rain
than all these
mosquitoes and flies.

I'm afraid it will not.

[dan speaking]

[kaila speaking]

[steven] that cannonball fruit
just seemed
to have been helping

With the bug situation,
which is a godsend.

-Woo-hoo.
-[steven]
with a little bit of thunder.

-[tim]
let it rain. Let it rain.
-[lisa] yeah.

Well, okay, let's not
poke the amazon bear
with the let it rain speech.

[steven speaking]

We're gonna try to do that
before the storm comes in.

So day two in the books.

[steven speaking]

[narrator]
in the amazon wet season,

Powerful storms can dump up
to six inches of rain an hou

And cause temperature
drops of over 20 degrees.

[tim speaking]

[lisa speaking]

It's dark and it's cold.

[tim speaking]

[lisa speaking]

This is ridiculous.

Um, this is our fire.

We took all of our firewood
and are covering our fire.

[trish]
it's the amazon rainforest.

- Three musketeers.
- Keeping warm.

The three wetsketeers.

[amber] bring it on, amazon.

Bring it on.

[waz speaking]

[rod speaking]

[waz speaking]

[waz] if it takes all night
and it's still raining,
I'm gonna be freezing.

[rod] yes. Both of us will.

[dan] yes.

[dan speaking]

[kaila speaking]

[kaila]
we're just taking turns

To keep the fire
going right now.

It's coming down so hard.

We can't let our fire go out.

[dan groans]

One plague after another
out here.

[kaila speaking]

[kaila] oh, my god.

[lisa] god, it was so cold.

The shelter was leaking
all over the place,

And after it stopped raining,
the bugs were like
10 times worse.

It was a long,
grueling evening.

[steven] our instincts
were to heat last night.

Oh, my god. It was so cold.

- I couldn't stop shivering.
- I know.

I think that's why
we're exhausted, yeah.

[tim] pounding,
pounding rain all night long.

We had to hold together.

It was brutal.

It gets to you mentally.

[tim] it's... I looked
at steve and I said,

I guarantee you,
there's somebody
who taps morning.

[steven] I'm gonna
scout over that little hill.

I'll let you know
if I find anything.

[tim] okay.

[lisa]
steven is a whole other level.

He could sleep through
the bugs biting him.

He's all torn up.

I give him his credibility
is a legend for sure.

[steven] lisa and tim have
been having a real hard time
and this is my 6th challenge

And that's
a big asset out here
to know what to expect.

But you know, that first week,
that first week
will put you on your ass.

We need to find some palms
to cover our shelter.

It's the only way with
these monsoon thunderstorms
to keep us dry.

It's almost like a marsh,
we go right at that tree,
I guess.

Ho, ho, ho, ho.

If that doesn't remind me
of louisiana,
I don't know what does.

Didn't expect that.

I feel like it's a lot
on my shoulders right now.

I want them to succeed.

You know, my main goal
is to watch them
get through that 40 days,

I think that would be amazing
if both of them cross that
finish line together

And I help them do that.

I'm really hoping
to find some palms,

But this is great
for like betting
and just kind of, you know,

When you're laying on sticks
a little bit helps so
and now we know where it is.

I have so much dirt
in my hair, like,

I can go like this,
and it's like just stuff
falls out, I'm like...

[trish] how's my face,
is it like
the glamor shot ready?

- It looks great.
- Do I look beautiful?

[jen] nice and muddy.

[amber] we are amazonian
savage goddesses.

How about that?

I like it.

Amazon goddesses are usually
tall, thin and beautiful
and clean with flowing things.

We're not that at all.

Oh, god, I am gross.

Anyway, okay. Wow.

That was a surprise
to see my face so filthy,

But just goes to show
that I've been
working very hard,

Living in the lap of luxury.

Split them and set them,
so that we could just
tie them up

- When we're already, you know.
- [jen] yeah.

[trish]
I think more is better.

[jen]
it's the morning of day three.

We had quite the storm
last night.

We're hoping
to reinforce our shelter

And just fix the areas
that we notice were peeking
through rain last night.

[amber] all right. Now I am
walking over to our ponds
that we have near our house.

We have shelter, water, fire.
I mean, we're looking great.

The next step is food
to sustain 60 days.

For bait, let's do it, girl.

The fish just tear it up.
So we'll see what happens.

My goal is to be
a big provider for our team

And to make sure
they are full every day.

Having a full belly changes
who you are,

Your personality,
your motivation,

What you're capable of doing
as a survivalist in the wild.

I'm gonna set up this line
over here with the pole,

And then I'm gonna move
to the next pond
and have some lines set up.

I am definitely a fisher lady.

I brought my fishing line
and hooks.

We have to be very careful,
because we only have 10 hooks.

That's all we got.

Okay. Let's go over here.
Try this water.

We set up one more.

I'm like being devoured
by mosquitoes right now.

I have one in the water here,
one in the water over here

And hopefully
we'll get something.

[rod]
you know, the rain sucked

- When it came through
tsunami or monsoon.
- I don't know what it was.

We heard it in advance.

That's how we knew
it was coming.

We had streams
of water coming in,

And unfortunately,
it was right
where we were laying.

Today I'm gonna be
on a go slow,

Because I literally can't even
move my ankles.

- [rod] yeah.
- Can't even bend over
and look at them.

Your ankles are so swollen,
you got blisters on the back.

That seems to be the area
those black flies
congregate in.

And every time you get them,
they're all full of blood.

So now they're getting in
and just eating as
much as they can

And getting as much blood
as they can.

It feels like leather and...

- [rod] a lot of water.
- [waz] you can see it
all in there, it's crazy.

So I am a little bit worried
about infection setting in,

But there's not
really too much
I can do about it.

It's just one of those things
I'm gonna have to work around,

I'm not gonna... I'm not gonna
go too fast today.

I'm just gonna chip away
the best I can

And try and see if I can
get that to settle down.

[rod]
and even a bunch of firewood.

[waz] yeah, with firewood,
we got to do firewood.

- [rod] shelter improving.
- [waz] every day.

[rod] no, I was thinking
of because this goes
slopes mostly to here,

Sliding it down,
so it covers up
where we were getting wet at.

[waz] I'll slide this down
and then start
with the other one.

[rod] yeah. We can do that.

[waz]
rod's skill set is strong.

Rod's work ethic
is even stronger.

It's exactly
what I need out here.

- [rod] just flip it up. Yeah.
- [waz] oh, this way?

And it'll just lay right down.

Rod, you fancy.

There's things that
I haven't thought of that
rod suggests to me,

And there's things that rod
hasn't thought of,
I suggest to him.

It can't go wrong.

If I could do some good knots
on the cord each.

Tie it once in the right way.

[waz]
I tied them on the wrong way.

[kaila] last night,
it was crazy, huh?

[dan] it was stupid.

[kaila] I wish it kept
the bugs away
for a little bit.

[dan] yeah.

The rainstorm last night
came out of nowhere,
lasted, it just dumped.

Kaila and I need to get
a waterproof shelter up

And improve our comfort leve
a little bit.

Jamie's gone, and we were
really relying on him

To help us build
this massive shelter.

- Can you reach
the top up there?
- Yeah.

Now, kaila and I are relying
a lot more on each other
to get us through this.

[kaila]
all right, let's do this bed.

We're gonna try to build
a couple of beds.

Get us off the ground.

It won't keep us away
from the black flies
and the mosquitoes

And all the other bugs,
but maybe it'll keep us away
from the ants.

[dan]
getting eaten alive by bugs
and everything is mud,

So it's not the best
working environment.

It'll be great for, like,
the back of the beds.

It's just tedious
with so many little pieces.

- Super stable.
- [kaila] nice job.

Really hoping that making
these improvements
to our shelter

Will make both of us feel like
we have a little bit more
of a home,

Which I think you
really have to do

In order to make it the full
40 or 60 days out here.

Holding in the smoke, though.
Look at that.

[kaila] yeah.

Good.

[dan] we're gonna need
to find a firewood, too.

[kaila] yeah, definitely.

[dan]
okay. I'll be right back.

Clearly on some
sort of game trail,

Which will be
interesting to revisit.

[dan] I'm a biologist.
I know animals.
I know their behaviors.

Grey herons, when they eat,
they kind of need
to take a minute to digest.

Ooh.

- What?
- [dan] check this out.

Whoa!

What?
Are you serious? Oh, my god.

He was just standing there
and I creeped up
and chucked my blade at it.

You're the best.

[dan] so he was just
walking away
from the riverside,

Where they can be
eaten by caiman

And anaconda
and all other kinds of things.

Didn't require
much hunting skills,
but it did the job.

I love it. Oh, my god.

You are amazing.

Dan's doing great.
He's such a hard worker.

He's got the best energy,
great attitude.

I think dan has
what it takes
to make it 40 days.

So now, I'm just
going to process it,
so that we can eat it.

This is amazing.

[dan] look at that meat.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Good job.

[dan speaking]

It feels great getting
the first bit of protein
for the challenge.

I mean, it's...
this is the biggest
protein score

I've had on any challenge
so far.

And after a couple of bites,
I can feel it just
going through my body

And lifting my spirit
a little bit after being
eaten alive already for days.

Way to go.

[tim] I-I definitely need
something, I can feel it.

Raw tanking could see it.

[tim] oh, yeah.

I never felt this weak
on my last challenge.

[lisa] really?

[tim]
we need something to eat,

So we're going down
to the river

To do a little fishing,
just with one hook, no weight.

And, like, 10 feet of line.

Oh. Oh.
There was something on.
It's not on now.

I just had a fish bite
my line in half.

I haven't been
on that many challenges,

But my survival skill wise,
I have a lot to offer.

I can fish really well.
I use my blow gun real well.

I can use my knife
really well.

I can skin. I got...
I definitely got
a lot to offer.

[lisa]
that one was fairly big.

- [tim] yeah.
- [lisa] you know.

Oh, yes. Yes, yes.
I was like just yanking that.

Yay!

You sure that's a catfish?

[tim]
no. I don't know what it is.

Got some teeth, though.

- [lisa] really?
- [tim] and that's our lunch.

It's a great picking up
for the night we had.

[lisa] oh. Yes. Oh, my gosh.

- [tim] a little bigger.
- [lisa] that's awesome.

Okay, we're gonna eat.

- He got two.
- You got two?

- [lisa] yeah.
- That's awesome.

I guess. Let me try
and get the fire
going here, then.

[lisa] awesome.

Yes. Yeah, you're on a roll.
Oh, my gosh.

You know, I want to help.

I'll do everything
I can to help.

- [lisa] oh, my gosh.
- [tim] woo! Woo!

[lisa] okay, that's four.

[tim] to catch four fish
for the three of us.

It was really awesome.

- Steve?
- [steven] yeah.

- Another.
- [steven] yay!

- Way to go.
- [lisa] yeah.

[steven]
tim came through solid,
got some fish, which is great.

Our first meal out here
in the amazon.

- Good day, team.
- Good job.

[steven] got some food.

To be able to do other things
that need to get done.

While I got tim
killing it with,
you know, a line and a hook.

That's great. That takes a lot
of stress and pressure off me.

- [tim] cheers.
- Cheers.

Good. I can eat that.
Feel better already.

[lisa]
the fish tastes amazing.

Of course, the taste
is similar to catfish

And we are feeling
the food nourish our souls,
as we are eating.

[steven]
for what we accomplished
in two days.

- Feel good, huh?
- Pretty impressive.

Yeah, it's impressive.

[jen] this looks nice.

[amber] yeah, come on.

Got one.

Yay!

Well, that snagged him
right in the mouth.
Look at that.

Oh, there's something
on my line over there.

Oh, my gosh. I got a fish.

Oh, yeah. Look at that.
Two fish, same time.

I'll take that.

Woo! Yay!
The amazon is no joke.

Everything plays
against you here.

You have to fight
for every meal.

Anything you want to do.
There's always an issue.

All I can do is fight
for what I want

And just push myself
to the limit.

I have something
I want to share with you.

[jen] if it's not breakfast,
amber, I'm not interested.

[amber] if it's not breakfast,
because I got you guys
a beautiful fish.

Two of them.

And they're biting like crazy.

-[jen] awesome.
-[trish]
that is freaking awesome.

I'm so grateful to have
a partner who brought me
breakfast on day three.

What kind of fish is it?

[amber]
this one was a barracuda.

How cool is that.
Amazon barracuda.

- I never saw that on the menu.
- [amber] yeah.

[jen] oh, that looks amazing.

And you can see
all the fats and juices
and nutrients in there.

[amber] ooh, smells good.

Okay?

It's like
unwrapping christmas.

It's the morning of day three,
and we have a family meal
for breakfast.

Ton of meat.

That's actually
pretty hard to get that.
I'm liking it a lot.

I'm excited
to get more of those.

Thanks for breakfast, amber.

- You're welcome.
- It's delicious.

- [jen] I love it.
- [amber] ouch.

If there's anything
I would change,

I would ask that the bugs
don't eat my crotch.

- The crotch biters
are out now.
- [jen] mm-hmm.

[trish] I just realized
we're sitting
at our dining room table

That we used
as a toilet last night.

Yeah, we did.

[lisa]
are y'all stomach's okay?

Nauseous?

[lisa] do you feel nauseous?

Hmm-mm.

Hmm. Nope.

Nothing's coming up.

[steven]
you don't want it to come up.

You're right.

It can't be the fish.
He feels good.

I have a pretty tough stomach,
and I'd be unlikely
that it was the food.

-[tim] you feel nauseous, too?
-[steven]
no. I did earlier.

- [tim] oh, did you?
- [steven] yeah.

[lisa] I think
it's just dehydration,
getting acclimated,

Sleep deprivation, you know,
all those things
kind of combo.

But mentally and physically,
I prep for this.

I'm just digging
deep within myself.

[amber] you okay, jen?

[jen]
sorry, I'm just not well,

I'm wondering
if it was that fish.

I'm just trying to fight it.

[amber] you okay, jen?

[trish] jen, you still alive?

[trish] she's making
me really nervous.

[jen] I've thrown up
a handful of times.

We don't know what it was,
but I've been so sick for
the last little bit.

Hopefully, this goes away
and hopefully
it's just temporary.

- [trish] you dizzy? Pukey?
- [jen] mm-hmm.

[amber]
what are you feeling like?

[jen] just really
lightheaded when I'm out.

- [amber] lightheaded?
- [jen] mm-hmm.

It's just hard to be up.

Because I think the heat
is what kind of
invigorates that,

Everything of how I'm feeling.

You need to rest,
I want whatever
you have to go away.

- Yeah.
- [amber] I know exactly
what she's going through.

I had the same thing
on day one.

So my expectations
of jen right now

Is to lay down
and relax and hydrate.

That's all I care about.

[jen] water feels so good.

I think it was much needed.

I believe in her.

I know she believes in herself
and she's gonna kick
whatever's taken her down.

[jen] hopefully that's
the last time I throw up.

This amazon bites in the ass.

[tim speaking]

[lisa] yeah.

[tim speaking]

[lisa] yeah.

[tim speaking]

[lisa] yeah.

[lisa speaking]

[tim] god.

[tim speaking]

[waz speaking]

[rod speaking]

There is a sound
the mosquitoes make

And everyone knows
that once one mosquito buzz

And past you, but there
is a different sound

That I don't think
people understand

When you have
a million mosquitoes
in such a small area.

It's not just hundreds
of thousands.

It has to be millions,
because what they cover me
to the point,

Where if I slap my back,
I'll have my hand
with 50 squish mosquitoes

All covered in blood.

They're just relentless
and nonstop.

You know, we have
a fire and there's smoke,
but it doesn't do anything.

You think, "oh, I have a fire.

The mosquitoes
are gonna go away."

No, doesn't happen.
Nope, nope, nope, nope.

[waz] I don't even
know what to do.

There's no remedies for it.
I can't sleep at nighttime.

It's just... it's brutal.

My ankles have
swollen up again.

This sucks.

[lisa] it was another
relentless buggy night.

It was... it was awful.
So no sleep.

No one's had sleep.

Now people are sleeping.

I tried several times
this morning,

Just to start a fire,

Too wet still.

Nada.

I'm exhausted.

I'm feeling emotionally
and physically beatdown
from the amazon.

I'm at the end of my rope.

[waz] after one of
the most brutal nights of
unendurable pain

From these
mosquitoes and flies,
my ankles have swollen up

And my lower calf of my feet
have swollen so much.

It feels like the skin's
gonna split open.

It's... I can't move
or bend my ankles.

It's really bad.
They're still going.

They don't stop, look at them.

It's just excruciating.

I'm gonna... I've still got
jobs to do, but I'm gonna
see if I can protect myself,

Because I'm losing blood
just from the reaction
to all the flies biting.

It doesn't matter
how tough you are.

If you get
a serious infection,

That's gonna be the end
of your challenge.

[rod] I want to get a priority
of what we need to do.

We need... we need food
and there's food
in that water.

Yep.

So I think I'm gonna go down
to the water
and work on the dock.

- Yep.
- I'll help as much as I can.

- I don't want
to get in the water.
- [rod] no.

I don't want
to be out a partner.

Yeah, I understand that.

And I would rather
you take care

Of whatever you need
to on your ankles

Than have you in there
and then
all of a sudden now...

- [waz] get an infection.
- It's an infection
and you're gone.

- I don't want that.
- [waz] yeah.

Nobody wins.

- Do you want
to finish off the pot?
- Yeah, it's good idea.

[rod] and try to get
another one going.

Sounds good.

Here in the amazon,
the opportunity
for infection isn't a joke.

The flies that bite
and when they bite,
they're drawing blood.

And then if another
fly lands on there,

They're gonna
lay an egg in there,

Next thing you know,
you have an infection
and your feet are rotting off.

The infection rate here
is something

I'd definitely
pay attention to.

We're wanting
to put our dock out here

And then we're gonna
move the stuff,

So that we can actually
have a place to fish.

We came in here as a trio,
then we ended up
losing gary and now,

Waz with his feet being
so swollen, you know,

There's things out
of our control
which are medical taps.

I'm doing everything
I can to keep waz here.

[waz] I have warts,
I have welts,

I have blood
dripping down everywhere.

Look at that. It's really bad.
It's just as real as it gets.

[rod] I really don't
want to lose a partner,
not another one.

- [jen] welcome to our home.
- [amber] 60 days of hell.

[narrator] for their
special dual track challenge

Teams will be evaluated
each week on a modified scal

The xls or xl success metric
weighs each group's
collective skills

And survival status
to determine
the likely percentage

Of reaching their
40 and 60-day goals.

After their first brutal dos
of the amazon.

[lisa] ouch.
The bugs are insane out here.

[narrator] the all-female te
fought back.

[amber] we got the smoking
mound from the termites.

We'll get rid of some
of the mosquitoes.

[narrator] and amber secure
the team's first food win.

Oh, yeah.
A family meal for breakfast.

[narrator] but the victory
was short lived...

[narrator]
...As jen's body struggles
to acclimate to the jungle.

Still, their combined xls
or chance of reaching their
survival mission targets

Rises from 43 to 53%.

[steven] atta, girl.
First fire baby.

[narrator] despite steven's
legendary leadership.

[steven] my main goal
is to watch them
get through that 40 days.

[narrator]
and tim's fishing success.

[lisa] yay! That's awesome.
Okay, we're gonna eat.

[narrator] three relentless
nights in the jungle.

[lisa speaking]

[narrator]
have left lisa reeling.

[lisa] I'm emotionally
and physically beatdown.

I'm at the end of my rope.

[narrator] as a result,
their team xls dropped
significantly

From 72 to 32%.

[jamie] this is horrible.

[narrator] after one day
of ravenous bugs proved
too much for jamie.

[jamie] I could just
feel it all over my body.

There was no escape for that.

[jamie speaking]

[narrator] kaila and dan
are a man down.

- [kaila] can you reach
the top up there?
- [dan] yeah.

Jamie's gone and now
kaila and I are relying
a lot more on each other.

[narrator]
but soon seized upon

Their first significant
protein opportunity.

[kaila] are you serious?
Oh, my god.

[narrator] as a result,
their xls is recalculated

For a two-person team
and set at 72%.

[narrator] after gary's sudd
departure from the challenge

[gary] I got to go.
I got to go to the hospital.

[narrator]
waz and rod regrouped.

So I could do
some good nights.

[narrator] but an extreme
reaction to bug toxins,

Now leaves waz's health
in doubt.

[waz] I can't move
or bend my ankles.

It's really bad.
It's just as real as it gets.

[narrator] as a result,
their chance of reaching da
40 plummets from 66 to 30%.

[waz] amazon jungle
is relentless.

It doesn't let up
for a second.

As soon as you get
one problem sorted,
the next three comes.

[steven] I got totally
demolished between this
and my back and...

- [lisa] yeah.
- [steven] are you okay?

- I'm worn down,
you know, I'm beat.
- Yeah.

- Heat... heat broke me down
before I even started.
- [steven] yeah.

I'm totally broke
at this point.

I come out here to do
this challenge to see
how far I can push myself.

And believe me,
I found that out.

[lisa] I mean, I've sucked up
the sleep deprivation
as we all have.

[tim] yeah.

[lisa] we've survived the rain
and shivering and hypothermia.

It's so defeating.

-[steven]
jungle nights are tough.
-[lisa] try torturous.

[steven]
yeah, that's the word.

But as somebody
who's been there,

I know there is a finish line
and you can get through it.

I mean, over time,
you do kind of acclimate
to what's going on, you know.

- [lisa] yeah.
- [steven] and it's hard
to see that right now

- When you're at the bottom
of the barrel, you know.
- [lisa] yeah.

When we're utterly exhausted.

[lisa] and to hear it
from you that says
you've done six challenges...

- Yeah.
- ...And this is the worst.

[steven] oh, hands down.

[lisa] I just...
I don't think I can go on.

I'm not...
I can't do another day.

I've been defeated.
I submit to the amazon.

Feel disappointed.

I feel like I let...
I'm letting myself down.

I'm letting others down.

And yeah, it's not a good...
not a great feeling.

I get it and I understand
and I wouldn't...

[lisa] well, I mean,
if it was just
an ordinary suck.

- Yeah.
- [lisa] you know.

- This is next level suck.
- [tim] yeah.

We didn't have time to even,
you know,

To really get into it,
you know,
talking in your sleep,

You get so tired,
you don't feel like
doing anything.

- [lisa] yeah.
- [tim] you know.

I mean, what've we had
to eat in three days,
four fish?

- [steven] yeah.
- [lisa] yeah.

[tim] but right now, I don't
think I'm actually in it.

I'm leaving too.

- [steven] you're leaving too?
- Yes, sir.

It's three days with no sleep
and 24 hours a day of getting
eaten alive by insects.

So that's my breaking point.
And that's a tap.

[steven] I'm gonna miss y'all.
I'll be okay, though.

- Group hug.
- Group hug.

I'll be all right.
Y'all be safe.

- All right? I will.
- Yeah, you too.

[tim] take care. Bye.
Come on.

Amazon's no joke.
Took me down in four days.

I won't have any regrets.
I did what I could.

And I'm gonna head home.

[lisa] I can't... I can't
go on another day.

I know it's not attainable,
and that's why I'm not
sticking it out.

It's disappointing,
but I know my limitations.

[steven] day four
and I am all by myself

In the middle
of the amazon rainforest.

[sighs] sixth challenge.

Sixty days in the hardest
environment on the planet.

Only thing harder
would be antarctica

And... and then
you're dead anyway,

Because there's nothing to eat
and you freeze to death.

I'll tell you what,
it is ruthless.

I got 56 days left
and I've never done
this before.

I've never had to do
a challenge by myself, ever.

But how epic is that?
