[Jermaine] It's
raining steady, isn't it?

[Wes] Yeah. Oh,
it's freezing rain.

And our shelter's
not exactly watertight.

[Sarah] It's just a
constant struggle.

- [Wes] Hey, Jermaine.
- Mmm?

Let's get one of them long logs and shove
it in here and start getting it burned.

- [Jermaine] The one's from outside?
- Yeah.

[Jermaine] I mean, listen, I'm
soaking wet anyway so it doesn't matter.

- Oh, my god! Holy [bleep].
- [Wes] yeah.

It's impossible to have
watertight with spruces.

So, what we're doing is, we're
feeding a couple logs in from outside,

so we can use those to
make our piles real small.

Putting all our stuff
under us to keep it dry.

- [Jermaine] There ya go, buddy.
- There ya go.

Nice, Jermaine.

This is unpleasant
weather at best.

Actually, it's a little scary.

[Jermaine]

And then, I guess we're gonna be hunkering
down and just trying to stay alive.

[Sarah] That's kinda where
we're at, we're embracing the suck.

[Wes] Come on fire.

I did not get a lot of
sleep that was freezing.

That was torturous last night.

Just absolutely torturous.

[Jake] Under the
covers you just shiver.

Kind of out of control
for actually several hours.

Until your core temperature
comes up a little bit.

But, kinda getting used to
that as being the new norm.

I've always said, when
life gives you shivers.

You make shiverade.

[Joe] I'm going to guess it's
in the low 20s out right now.

I'm even under the pelts
and it is really, really cold.

I really thought I
knew what cold was.

I was very wrong.
[Chuckles softly]

[Gabby]

We're literally frozen.

Every part of us is frozen,
our hands, our extremities.

Our skin to the touch, you
know, when you feel that.

Wind whip on you.

It's insane.

- [Trish] Mmm.
- It's still snowing.

Oh, my god! It is ice.

Our drinking straw
is just covered.

[Narrator] As the
only team of two,

Trish and Jeremy's
unfinished shelter.

Has exposed them to
Montana' frigid weather.

[Jeremy] I'd rather deal with insects
than freezing cold temperatures.

[Trish] You and me both.

It is freezing outside and
there's snow everywhere.

And our shelter
doesn't have a door.

So, the angle of the
snow is coming right in.

Oh, you see that snow coming
in? See the snow hitting my face?

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

We're just fighting getting
out 'cause it's so fricking cold.

It's gonna be miserable.

I'll be like Jack
Nicholson in the shining,

I'll just be sitting in the snow
with that weird, creepy, killer grin.

Yeah,

freezing Montana.

I mean, honestly, Trish I
don't see it getting any warmer.

[Trish] No, it's not.

- [Jeremy] And that fire wood is dwindling.
- Yeah, I know it.

If we're gonna
improve our situation.

We're gonna start with cutting some
trees down and closing up this opening.

Give ourselves a little bit
of a snow block, wind block

[Jeremy] Oh, it's
gonna be freezing cold.

[Trish] I didn't come out
he to lay here for the week.

So, I'mma do it.

[Jeremy] I mean, I failed in
some of my previous challenges.

And I don't wanna fail again.

We ain't got no choice
but to get this better.

I'm contemplating what
we got to get done today

I'm just seeing snow
just coming everywhere.

It's not gonna be fun,
it's gonna be miserable.

And, you gotta make
up your mind to do it.

That's the only way I think
you can make it out here.

[Trish] It's cold, it's painful.

[Jeremy] My damn
hands are going numb.

- That wind is coming out too.
- [Trish] Sure is.

- [Jeremy] Are you okay?
- My fingers are frozen.

[Jeremy] Get what you
can, just head on back.

- [Trish] All right.
- Get that fire going.

It's so cold
today that it hurts.

I mean, it's like in about
15 minutes fingers numb,

toes, everything
hurting, hurting.

- I can't feel my feet.
- [Trish] I can't feel anything.

Take it in.

Jesus Christ!

My penis is shriveled, wrinkled,
like a short stack of quarters.

Not even, like,
a dollar's worth.

- Just like a $0.50 worth.
- [Trish] It's [bleep] Cold.

[Jeremy] Oh, [bleep].

We decided to make
our door on this side

'cause the wind
has done shifted.

Now the wind's changed,
so the shelter's gotta change.

- Think about that size, Trish?
- That's more than enough.

- Does it seem like the wind stopping some in there, Trish?
- Yeah, it sure does.

[Jeremy] Oh,
that's what we want.

- Can't feel my damn fingers.
- [Trish] You're doing amazing.

- Please, keep that fire going.
- [Trish] Oh, it's going.

Don't worry, it'll
be here for ya.

As a team of two
somebody has to do the fire.

And somebody has
to do the outside work.

It's, like, it feels like
such a, like, useless job.

- [Jeremy] It's not in these temps.
- Oh, I know it.

- [Jeremy] I feel so much better about this now.
- You did a good job.

- A lot of that wind is gone.
- [Trish] Yeah.

[Jeremy] We did a good job.

- But, I can't feel nothing.
- No.

But, you know what?

- What?
- I forgot about being hungry.

- [Waz] It's blowing my mind how cold it is in here.
- [Jake] Yeah.

- [Waz] It shouldn't be like this.
- [Jake] No, I don't know.

[Sara] How are
your feet feeling?

[Jake] Don't see any of the
puss coming out anymore.

My feet are holding up
like a bag of garbage.

They are in constant pain.

But, I'm gonna power
through I just need to get food.

[Narrator] Jake, Sara, and Waz have
struggled to find any kind of protein,

despite damming their
creek in a strategy to catch fish

I feel, like, justified in just
how miserable I was last night.

Because I'm seeing
some new ice has formed.

On the little dam that we built.

That's basically, like, our thermometer
'cause we don't have one out here.

That and my nipples.

Guys, it's definitely
a much colder start.

- So, might wanna put on any extra furs.
- Okay, buddy.

I'm gonna head
over across the creek,

- this morning I heard a few squirrels over that way.
- [Waz] Oh, yeah.

My plan is, to
get some squirrel.

Ready to seize the day.

It's one of the few things that we
know are right here by our shelter.

So, my goal is, just
to kind of follow them.

Hopefully see one
and take one out.

[Waz] Even though
it's cold and it's winter,

and there's not a lot
of animals around, like,

I really haven't seen that
much since I've been here.

There's still stuff moving
around in the water.

And, one of the things
they have a lot of up here,

what you guys call
crawdads or crawfish.

Back in Australia
we call them yabbies.

I'm just gonna make a little trap,
it's exactly the same as a fish trap.

But, at the entry you
build a little staircase.

So, you just put sticks across.

Getting higher and higher as it
gets closer and closer to the mouth.

So they can crawl
up this little staircase.

And then, into the trap,
try to chase that bait.

[Sara] Ooh, that wind sucks.

Last night, was the most
miserable nigh here so far.

We were just absolutely
freezing to death.

So, I saw bunny poop
around here yesterday.

We have not eaten since...

Before insertion.

And, we're losing calories
nightly just by shivering.

See right here?
This is bunny poop.

So, I am in the right place.

So, the rest of the
day I plan to go.

And set some traps
to snare some rabbits.

Try not to freeze to
death at the same time.

Hopefully, I have
one in the morning.

So, my grandfather used
to use this trap all the time.

He was very successful.

Block this off right here.

I'm gonna make
four walls of brush,

and there'll be an opening
in two or three of them.

So, if they want
inside this area.

They'll have to go
through one of the snares.

Tied a slipknot.

I'm gonna have some sticks
underneath here to hold it open.

In like an oval pattern.

I have gotta make
it oval because.

If it touches their
whiskers they'll back off.

Kinda like a cat.

All right, that's good enough.

Got one over there,

one right there,

and one over here.

Each have a snare line in them.

Hopefully, I'll catch
some damn rabbits.

My feet are so cold I wanna cry.

[Wes]

[Sarah] Deceptively cold.

[Wes]

At no surprise to
anybody, it's fricking cold.

- [Wes] The breeze is ridic.
- [Sarah] Yep.

- [Jason] How are you feeling?
- [Sarah] Ahh, sorry, I'm not feeling too great right now.

- [Jason] I'm gonna check your blood pressure.
- All right.

This morning we had pretty
significant temperature changes.

It was very cold,

so we're checking on the
well-being of the participants.

Knock-knock, medic's here.

- [Ky] Hello.
- [Jason] How's it going?

[Ky] Good, how are you?

Gonna do, uh, just a little
baseline vital check, okay.

We are concerned
with heart rates.

[Narrator] In extreme cold,
hypothermia is a constant danger.

As the body fights to create heat
in the core, blood vessel constrict,

and the heart rate increase.

A sustained resting
heart Ra over 100.

Is considered
potentially dangerous.

[Jason] Heart rate,
71. O2 saturation is, 97.

- Is that good?
- It's good.

- Okay.
- Very healthy.

- Ooh.
- I know, it's cold. Sorry, buddy.

The first three days
were really rough for me.

I won't lie.

[Narrator] Joe struggled with
dehydration earlier in the challenge.

[Ky] Joe!

- [Gabby] Whoa, can yo hear me?
- Mmm-hmm.

[Jason] So, you're blood
pressure is slightly elevated.

And you're heart
rate is fluctuating.

And, I seen it go all the
way up to as high as 130.

[Narrator] When the pulse
remains elevated overtime.

It puts the heart at
risk for tissue damage.

And, even a heart attack.

Um, looking at your blood
pressure, and you're pulse inside.

- You're blood pressure is high.
- Mmm-hmm.

And you're pulse is...

- About double what is should be.
- Oh.

So, the numbers are concerning.

I'm concerned about
Sarah's vital signs.

Essentially her heart
is beating too fast.

And, if that continues, I
have very high concerns.

That she may need
to be medically tapped.

All right, so, we're gonna
continue to monitor the situation.

And, if the situation doesn't improve,
we would have to pull you. Okay?

- You've got to stay hydrated today.
- [Sarah] Yep.

It's your safety on the line.

So, it is a serious situation.

[Jason] This could
be from dehydration.

We have plenty of ice,
we've got snow around here.

So, I'll be back to check on ya.

Hydration, hydration,
hydration is key.

[Joe] Can't seem to
keep up with hydration.

Got a little careless.

And, now I'm paying for it.

[Wes] Hey, buddy. It's
gonna be all right, okay?

[Jason] At the end of the day when it
comes to your heart it ain't no game.

Uh, it sucks.

Ugh!

- I finally just got some sleep.
- [Trish] Yeah, me too.

We did a good job.

I'm gonna go out and try
to get something to eat.

[Trish] I'm gonna get the fire
started and get some wood.

It's been nine days since
I've had any food in my belly.

[Ducks quacking]

I've never went this long
without eating something.

Through every challenge,
I've eaten by day two.

I've got some fishing lines out,

hoping I catch a
trout or something.

Oh! I ain't got nothing.

The wind gust and
blew it up outta the water.

Every time you come out
and you don't catch nothing,

or kill anything, it's just
another disappointment.

[Grunting]

[Bleep] Going.

Pee again and it's
just sharp pains.

Just something else
to deal with out here.

- [Trish] Hey.
- Hey.

[Trish] See anything?

[Jeremy] I ain't had
nothing on the fishing line.

[Trish] I thank you for trying.

[Jeremy] I had to stop
and pee and it was just...

And it was burning some and.

It does kind of get a
little bit harder to urinate.

There at my bladder,
you can't hardly touch it.

[Bleep]

It's just a sharp, sharp
pain whenever you,

just the slightest
little push on it.

I wonder if it's from, like,
being so tense and cold.

Maybe you're keeping it,

holding it in so long at night.

- Maybe it's like...
- [Jeremy] I don't know.

...giving you a
bladder infection.

Jeremy, he is an
amazing partner.

Definitely being sick
in this environment.

Is not where you want to be.

[Groans] I don't feel good.

My bladder. Whatever it is.

[Trish] Let's try to get
your bladder flushed out.

It is extremely important that
Jeremy stays very hydrated.

Because I don't think this challenge
would be possible single-handedly.

If you were alone,
with no partners.

It'd suck to go home
for a bladder infection.

[Trish] Yeah, it would.

[Ky] You doing okay, Joseph?

You seem low.

Yeah, overall I feel okay. Uh...

[Gabby] What's going on?

- Hunger pains are really just kind of what I'm dealing with.
- [Gabby] Okay.

That's, it's just
weird, I mean, like,

I, physically I can
feel my blood sugar.

- Like slowly going each day.
- [Gabby] Of course.

Joe's had this
elevated heart rate.

The medics have been concerned.

It's definitely worrisome.

You know, I have
been dreading this,

but I do know I need to go out.

I mean, I don't mind
taking a little exploration.

- [Ky] Don't be too risky.
- [Gabby] Yeah.

[Joe] After seeing the medic.

That was a bit of an eye opener.

But, I'm not going
to get careless.

To the point where
it's like, you know,

something like that's
going to take me out.

I'm doing this for
a chance to eat.

- [Ky] You're almost out there, Joe.
- [Joe sighs] Thank you.

Bottom line, I need to be
ab to contribute out here.

Now I can feel like I
at least did my part.

Just help out, look around.

[Exhales forcefully]

Oh. [Breathing shakily]

Oh, my god. I wish
I had a pair of pants.

Freaking cold.

I don't know if rabbits
are going to be moving.

In this kind of weather,
but won't know unless I try.

So what I'm going to do now,

I'm going to slowly walk
across this blind of bushes.

To see if I can't
find any rabbits.

No fresh tracks.

[Bleep]

[Blows air]

A little weak.

I'm really feeling it.

I want to contribute so much.

But, I think I might be
burning myself out a little bit.

- Hey, Ky?
- Yeah?

[Joe] Looks like we got some
weather coming in from our southeast.

I've been shoring
up the shelter.

And chopping up firewood
so I'm feeling confident.

[Joe] Excellent.

[Sarah speaking]

[Wes speaking]

- [Sarah] Yeah.
- [Wes] Okay? If you can sit here.

And drink a bunch
of water, relax,

and get yourself back to
right, then everything's fine.

Yeah.

[Wes] Sarah and I did
XL in Africa together.

She's tough but her
pulse is way out of whack.

The plan today to
keep Sarah with us.

Is that she can't
leave the shelter.

- I'll just work on that fish basket today.
- [Wes] Yeah.

Um, get that cranked out.

[Wes] Yeah, get
that thing done tight.

That'd be great.

- You ready?
- [Jermaine] Let's go for a walk.

We really need to bring
back something for Sarah.

Just to give her a little boost.

Something that might help
make her healthy again.

[Jermaine] Yesh.
Definitely colder on this side.

[Wes] Yeah, it is colder.

Wow, nice bones.

[Jermaine] Look at that.

[Wes] Kill site for sure.

[Jermaine] Yeah,
well it could be a bison.

[Wes] A mountain lion could have
taken just about anything, right?

[Jermaine] Yeah.

[Wes] Something ate
very well. I'm jealous.

[Jermaine] Oh, dude,
oh my god, mullein.

[Wes] I don't know what that is.

Primarily, if you smoke
it, it's a vasodilator.

Oh, cool. Put it
in the bag, yeah.

[Jermaine] When your blood
pressure's up when you're cold,

your veins, they all constrict
to try to put all of your.

Resource of heat
and blood to your core.

If you smoke this,
as a vasodilator,

it would reduce
her blood pressure.

And reduce her pulse,

and, uh, this might be
like a little magic trick.

Home sweet home. Yeah.

[Sarah] What's up?

[Jermaine] We didn't find any
meat, but I got something for you.

[Sarah] Oh, mullein.

- That's freaking perfect.
- [Jermaine] Yeah.

[Sarah] I got to make a pipe.

I'm taking this reed,
I'm going to try this out.

It's got a little carb
on the back here.

A little bowl for
me to smoke from.

Go from there.

It's been utilized
traditionally.

In a lot of different
municipal uses.

Indigenous people have utilized
it for literal thousands of years.

What I'm hoping that
if I smoke some of this,

it might bring my blood
pressure to a more normal level.

That works. [Laughs]

I have made a
functional bushcraft pipe.

For smoking mullein.

- [Jermaine] How we doing?
- [Sarah] Good.

The effects of the mullein
are pretty immediate.

Which is honestly,
quite awesome.

I feel like when I
inhale right now,

that I'm getting a
deeper, fuller breath.

That's pretty wild.

Really cool to
utilize plant medicine.

In a real life survival
situation in this manner.

And, uh, I'm hoping that
changes up my results.

When the medic comes
back to do the old checkup.

[Jake] Hopefully if I can get
over to that other side of the creek.

And do a little exploring it
kind of uncharted territory.

Just see if there's any resources
over there that we can benefit from.

Everybody's hungry
and everybody wants.

Whatever food they can find.

Huh.

We got some fresh tracks.

Looks like quite a few
running up and down this creek.

So I'm gonna just try
to follow that same line.

Do a little hunting
with the slingshot.

And just see what we can't get.

I gotta eat. I get really
bitchy when I'm hungry.

Right through this area,
it looks like it's a little.

Highway of squirrel tracks.

It looks like there might be
some that are a little larger.

So I'm gonna
scout up the hillside.

Then I'll also have a
little better vantage point.

Of, uh, what's
going on around me.

Oh, [bleep]. That's something
much larger than a squirrel.

Oh, [bleep].

[Laughs incredulously] I just came across
something much larger than a squirrel.

A coyote.

It doesn't seem like
it's been dead that long.

Oh, [bleep] It broke its leg.

You know, he's not marked up like
he was fighting with another coyote.

God, I don't know. I don't know.

It looks like there's prints
coming down this steep hill.

And for each pace,
there are three steps.

And then one really big drag.

I'm guessing the thing was up
top and got into with a moose.

Or something that gave
him a really swift kick

'cause the bone is
just snapped in two.

I mean, it's bittersweet
'cause it's such.

A beautiful animal to
see it laying here lifeless,

but for me, you know, it's,
uh, it's kind of a game changer.

[Groans]

I have never had coyote before.

It's not on my bucket list.

But, [laughs] In this situation,
beggars can't be choosers.

Yeah, we'll make sure none of
this beautiful animal goes to waste.

And that will really turn
around things for our clan.

- [Waz] What?
- Got dinner.

- [Waz laughing] What?
- A little better than a squirrel.

Shut up.

It's definitely a great
site seeing so much food.

I mean, a normal coyote, you're
looking at 30, 40, 50 pounds.

- Yes.
- Looks pretty fresh, huh?

[Waz] I'm pretty sure this
meat's going to be good.

I mean, we had cold
temperatures overnight.

Yeah. Yep.

[Waz] I mean, this
animal's lost its life.

And we don't want to
waste that, you know?

I'm super pumped. Get
some food in our bellies.

Get some energy in us.

It's sad that this poor thing
has lost its life somehow,

but, very happy
for the three of us.

[Jake] Huge, huge
gift from mother nature.

- [Sara] Jake, great find.
- [Jake] Thank you.

[Waz] When the wind
dies down, the sun's on us.

[Jake] Feels great, yeah.

We're going to get
a fire going out here,

make the most of
this beautiful day.

It's something that we also have
to take serous precaution with.

Because there's a lot of
really hungry animals out here.

That would kill for
what we just found.

In my community, I'm
also a bear. Back off.

[Waz] When you're
in a place like this,

you have so many carnivores
running around looking for meals,

as for addressing that,
the stuff we're not using,

we're going to throw it in the
creek and let it go downstream.

The stuff we are going to
use, we're going to bury.

And try and keep it
safe under some rocks.

The thing about this
meat is it all smells good.

Jake's doing a bit of
barbequing down here.

Lunch and dinner right there.

Backstrap for lunch,
stew for dinner.

[Jake] It's pretty
exciting. It's the first food.

- That I've smelled in--
- [Waz] Oh, look at that.

[Jake] ...Quite a while.

[Sara] That actually
makes me super excited.

[Waz] I mean, it's definitely
going to be chewy, you know that.

- [Jake] Yep.
- [Waz] I probably had it in a stew.

This to try.

Mmm-hmm.

It's kind of exactly what I
thought it was going to taste like.

Me too, yeah.

It's okay.

[Jake] It's kind of like when you
get one of those $1.99 steaks.

And you leave it on
the grill for 14 hours.

I mean, it's not,
like, a ribeye,

but I'm happy about it.

It's calories in the body.
That's all I want, you know?

I can't even chew that.

Now, I'm not going to run home.

And go out and shoot
me one and cook it up.

But, right now it's much needed.

Oh, that thing tastes wretched.

But good.

Bon appetit.

[Trish] You doing
all right, buddy?

[Jeremy] No.

- Your bladder?
- Yep.

[Trish] Jeremy's been dealing
with a little pain in his bladder.

We're so close to
like, getting to 14.

That it's terrifying to think that
if it gets worse he could leave.

I'll probably go take a walk
down the riverside again.

I'm ready to do
whatever it takes.

I want you to get better.

- Well, thank you.
- That way we'll.

Be able to finish
this as a team.

It is absolutely horrific
being out in this temperature.

But, uh, I know there's some
things that we need to do.

The beaver trap fell down.

[Bleep] Got to set it again.

Part of my job as
being on the team.

Is to pick up the slack.

I know we need food.

I know there's a lot
of things we need.

And, uh, that's what's
keeping me going.

Just pure drive and willpower.

I feel like I'm kind of quarantined
to this room right here.

It feels amazing
knowing Trish is out there.

And I know she hates that
cold just as much as me,

but, for her doing that,
it's, to me, it means a lot.

It really does.

Well, I want to keep
going and go on further.

Just trying to see
what I can find.

I see a little bit of
cattail over here.

The native Americans
used to eat them.

So I'm going to see
if I can find anything.

And dig it up.

So that we can roast it and eat
it and get some kind of starch.

[Narrator] Cattails
have a fibrous root.

Which is rich in
energy-producing starches.

When the root is cooked,
it tastes similar to a potato.

And contains up to 80 calories.

[Trish] The ground is frozen.

I don't see how I'm going to
be able to get down to the root.

Even with the shovel,
it's like, impenetrable.

Everything's frozen solid
under the permafrost.

So it's a pretty big
disappointment.

We need to figure
out how to get to them.

I'm not giving up.

[Jeremy] I have
dreamed about food.

And every time I dream
about food, I get pretty hungry.

I have cramps on top of cramps.

[Trish] Yeah, me too.

[Jake] We have stew.

[Sara] I've never
had coyote stew.

This smells and looks delicious.

- [Waz] So I'm going to go in for a big chunk here.
- [Jake] Whoa.

It's not chewy. At least
that piece was pretty tender.

[Waz] It's way better than I
think what we had this afternoon.

Well, I like it more anyway.

[Wes] Ugh. I haven't eaten Jack.

And my brain's not
working real well anymore.

[Waz] I can feel it's
got some fat on it.

I feel that it's still moist

[Gabby speaking]

We need food.

[Sara] Mmm.

- [Waz farts]
- [Jake] Whoa. Fuel the flame.

[Waz coughs]

[Gabby] Nice brisk morning.

Maybe this cloud
cover will burn off.

And we'll get a little sunshine.

[Grace] Yeah?

[Gabby] How are
you guys doing today?

- Good, how are you?
- I'm a little chilly.

- A little chilly?
- Ready to get moving.

- Ready to get moving. We're just gonna, um...
- [Joe breathing heavily]

- [Grace] ...Take a quick set of vitals again, Joe.
- [Joe] Oh, boy. All right.

Still drinking plenty of fluids.

Lots and lots of warm stuff.

[Grace] Your heart
rate's still pretty elevated.

Have you had any chest pain,
shortness of breath, anything?

Not unless I just, like,
get that cold air hit me.

- And then just...
- That cold air hits you and then, all right.

Everything almost seizes up.

- [Grace] Make sure you drink a lot of water.
- I know.

[Grace] If Joe's heartrate
stays this elevated,

that would be a
potential for a tap out.

We can't leave somebody
out here with a high heartrate.

- So, we're gonna keep an eye on it, okay?
- Yeah.

[Ky] I'm super
worried about Joe.

Joe's heartrate has been getting more
and more elevated over the last few days.

So, hopefully today he can get
some rest and plenty of water.

[Joe] I've just got to constantly
remind myself to hydrate.

[Ky] That's a good idea.

[Wes] Just look for compression
tracks and also movement.

We're really trying to get a
kind of calories we can today

Sarah is down. She,
uh, had a bad med check.

She can't move
around a whole lot.

She's got to drink
nothing but water all day.

Just watch where
you step around there.

Lots of prickly pear.

[Wes] I know there's a lot of
work involved with it, Jermaine, but.

Some of these prickly pear
cactus appear pretty sizable.

That might be worth our time.

- [Jermaine] Yeah.
- Let's collect, you know,

a half-dozen, a dozen of
the biggest ones of those.

- They're not eaten, right?
- [Jermaine] Yeah.

[Wes] You know,
a few days ago, uh,

I had no interest in
eating prickly pear. Zero.

I wanted meat. I wanted
a rabbit. I wanted trout.

Fast forward about four days

I'll take whatever comes along.

- [Jermaine] Should we, uh, go and check on Sarah?
- [Wes] Absolutely.

[Trish] How's your
bladder doing?

- [Jeremy] I'm feeling a little better.
- [Trish] Yeah?

[Jeremy] I got a good bit of rest yesterday.
I'm feeling a little better today.

But I ain't been getting foo I
been getting lightheaded and dizzy.

Yeah.

[Jeremy] 14 days is
approaching, and I haven't ate.

I've never been this
hungry before in my life.

If we're able to get some of the cattails
[Slapping bug] there'll be a lotta starch.

[Jeremy] Why don't we
just build a fire over it?

They're all on the ground,
build a bonfire right there on 'em.

You wanna try it?

Yeah.

Anything is on the menu here.
We have not eaten in ten days.

[Jeremy] Let's
burn this bitch down.

Defrost the ground.

- [Trish] Let's bring it.
- [Jeremy] And get our cattail.

[Trish] It won't be
hard to light that up.

[Jeremy]

[Trish] How are ya
gonna put that out?

[Jeremy] All right. I wanna
try and keep it controlled.

- [Jeremy] That one's gonna stop at the snow.
- [Trish] Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

[Trish] We got a natural
firebreak with the snow.

[Jeremy] Trish was talking about the roots
of the cattail we can get them and eat 'em.

But we can't get to 'em,
because of all the ice.

And I, I thought about let's just try
to burn the field right through there.

Something to start trying to
melt the ice and get down into it.

- [Jeremy exclaiming] It's still solid. Look at that.
- [Trish] No.

[Jeremy] Yeah. It's about four
inches deep. Nothing but ice.

[Trish] Such a disappointment.

[Jeremy grunting] It's just
not meant for you and I to eat.

[Trish] Not cool, Montana.

[Jeremy] There's food right
there. Unbelievable. God.

[Trish] It's a disappointment.

- [Jeremy] I don't know what to do.
- [Trish] I don't know, either.

[Trish] It's gonna get cold again tonight,
so it'll be right back where we were.

[Jeremy] The only thing I'm gonna
eat out here is gonna be ice chips.

[Jeremy] I think her and I
have both come to conclusion.

We're literally gonna be the
first Naked and Afraid contestants.

To complete a challenge
and not have anything to eat.

[Sarah] Is that the guys?

- [Jermaine] Yeah.
- [Sarah] What's up?

- [Jermaine] We found some prickly pear.
- [Sarah] Ohh.

- [Jermaine] I'm gonna start cooking it.
- [Wes] That sounds great.

[Sarah] You guys are fantastic.

When Jermaine said
that they had prickly pear,

I just felt relief wash over me,
because I knew I was gonna eat.

Trying to give it a little sear,
just to get it kinda caramelized,

- [Jermaine] And then we'll add water.
- [Sarah] Sweet.

[Jermaine] Me and Sarah, we've
had some issues with each other.

But we are a tight team.
So we're all coming together.

That way, we're prepared for this med
check, and we can go ahead and push through.

- [Sarah] Oh, I smell it.
- [Jermaine] Yeah.

[Sarah] Smells kinda
like, uh, cucumbers.

Prickly pear itself has bee
utilized in foreign cuisine.

All over the world for a very long
time, so I appreciate them so much.

They're exactly what I
want in a partner out there.

[Jermaine] Look at that.

[Sarah] Gonna season
it with some ants?

[Jermaine] Could do that.
Grab some. Locally harvested.

- [Sarah] Free range organic?
- [Jermaine] Yes.

[Sarah] I'll just
squish 'em in as I go.

[Jermaine] Oh, piece de
resistance. [Guffaws in French accent]

The anticipation of flavor outweighs
the hunger right now, which is weird.

- [Sarah] That's good.
- [Wes] Tastes delightful.

- [Jermaine] It's crazy, isn't it?
- [Wes] I love it.

[Jermaine] Squash, no salt.

It does. It tastes
just like squash.

- [Sarah] Yeah, it does.
- [Jermaine] It's the most substantial thing we've eaten.

I'm so glad to be chewing. The prickly
pear, you know, you pop it in your mouth.

And you have to actually
chew two or three times.

You actually feel human again.

- [Jermaine] Hey, Sarah.
- [Sarah] 'Sup?

- [Jermaine] How are you feeling?
- [Sarah] Feeling fantastic.

- Especially after this.
- That's good news.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm
thinking it's good news.

[Sarah] Thanks for taking
care of me today, guys.

[Wes] Sarah's looking
better this afternoon,

but the next med
check will tell the tale.

Knock, knock. How
you guys doing?

Uh, good.

You guys get some hydration?

- Mmm-hmm.
- Okay.

[Wes] If she's better,
she gets to stay.

If she's not, I'm afraid that
she's gonna go, uh, home,

but probably by
way of the hospital.

Okay. Well, let's go ahead
and have you stand up.

[Sarah] I feel like it's very important
for me to stay in this challenge.

I came out here because I
wanted the most extreme.

I want to be here through to the
end, just to say that I've done it.

[Medic] How do
you feel standing up?

[Sarah] I feel fine.

[Medic] You feel fine? Cool.

Gonna run one more time.

Okay. So... [clears throat]

[Jeremy] Let's
burn this bitch down.

[Trish] How are we
gonna put that out?

- Got dinner.
- What?

[Medic] Your pulse is
double what it should be.

[Joe sighs] I'm
really feeling it.

[Narrator] The FSR,
or frozen survival rating,

weighs each group's ability to
complete the challenge as a team.

[Jeremy] I don't feel good.

[Narrator] Jeremy was
sidelined by bladder pain.

[Trish] Can't do it
without you, man.

[Narrator] So Trish stepped up.

[Trish] I'm ready to
do whatever it takes.

[Narrator] But an
inability to procure food...

- [Jeremy] Nothing but ice.
- [Trish] Not cool, Montana.

[Narrator] ...Decreases their
chances of completing the challenge.

And drops their FSR
from 23% to 19%.

[Jake] My feet are holding
up like a bag of garbage.

[Narrator] Despite being
hampered with injured feet..

[Jake] At this point, I
just need to get food.

[Narrator] ...Jake intensified
his efforts to score a meal.

Oh, [bleep].

[Narrator] ...Which
finally paid off...

- What?
- Got dinner.

What? [Laughing]

[Narrator] ...Providing his
team with a bounty of protein.

The trio's FSR climbs
from 69% to 78%.

[Medic] Uh, we are
concerned with heart rate.

[Narrator] Joe fell prey to
Montana's frigid conditions...

[Medic] I've seen it go all
the way up as high as 130.

[Narrator] ...With an
elevated resting heart rate.

[Gabby] Good
luck out there, Joe.

[Joe] Thank you.

- [Ky] Don't be too risky.
- [Gabby] Yeah.

[Narrator] But, wanting to contribute to
his team, he continued to push himself..

[Joe] I'm really feeling it I think I
might be burning myself out a little bit.

[Narrator] ...Risking his health, and
reducing the team's chances of finishing.

From 76% to 59%.

Your pulse is about
double what it should be.

[Narrator] Like Joe,
Sarah also struggles.

With an elevated heart
rate due to dehydration.

Oh, my god. Mullen!

[Narrator] But Jermaine and Wes
discovered critical bush medicine.

And much-needed food.

[Wes] Some of these prickly pear
cactus up here are pretty, pretty sizable.

[Narrator] With Sarah's challenge
hanging on her next medical check,

the team's FSR
remains static at 55%.

[Medic] How do
you feel standing up?

[Sarah] I feel just fine.

[Medic] You feel fine? Cool.

Okay.

So your vitals look
awesome today.

Blood pressure's looking good,

and your hydration's looking
a lot better than it has been.

- So keep that up, okay?
- Good. Thank you.

All right. Definitely gotten some
calories and some hydration into you.

- And it's showing, so...
- Good. That's what I like to hear.

[Sarah] Oh, my gosh.

Knowing that it's a good
situation is a complete relief to me.

I am free to continue the
challenge, so I am stoked right now.

[Sighs in relief]

Today was a really
good team effort.

- Yeah.
- There you go, now.

I'm so happy Sarah's
in a better situation.

And we're on to better days

- [Jermaine] A lesson for all three of us, right?
- [Sarah] Yeah.

- [Wes] Drink more damn water.
- [Sarah] Yeah.

- [Ky] Ah, sunshine.
- [Gabby] I know.

[Joe] It's quite nice.

[Gabby] Joe, how you
feeling? How you doing?

[Joe] My lips are really, really
cracked, which is uncomfortable.

But that's about it.

[Ky] Well, I'm gonna pull
mine in, extend my line.

Good afternoon.

- [Ky] Oh, hey!
- [David] Hey.

We're gonna take your,
uh, heart rate again, okay?

[Joe] Okay.

I'll come around to you.

This stresses me out so
much when you come around.

[Laughing] I'm sorry.

Joe's had an
elevated heart rate, uh,

that's been sustained over several
days, even when he's resting.

And that's concerning,
because at resting,

heart rate should be
between 70 and 80,

and Joe's been well above that.

148.

Unfortunately, it's
been getting worse.

When we've been checking
it, it's been getting worse.

And unfortunately, we just
don't have the capability.

To make sure that you're safe
and you're healthy out here.

[David] With a resting
heart rate that high,

your heart is not doing
what it's supposed to do,

and you are at risk of tissue death,
tissue damage, and even heart attack.

And so for that reason, I have
to medically tap you right now.

[Sighs]

[David] And I'm
sorry to do this.

[Sighing]

I'm sorry, Joe.

We've let you have the
time that we can give you.

But we can't leave somebody
out here with a high heart rate.

It's just not a risk we wanna
take in this environment.

There's nothing I can do at this
point? Like, 24 hours, hydrate, anything?

[David] Your heart rate is so
high over, it's not even close.

If it were close or borderline,
maybe we could do something.

It's not even borderline.
It's, it's dangerous.

And we can't treat it
out here in the field.

All right.

[Sighing] I'm sorry, guys.

- Don't apologize.
- I'm sorry.

You've done so amazingly out
here, and you found your confidence.

- [Gabby] I know how much this meant to you.
- [Ky] Yeah.

[Joe] I just wanted to
walk out with you guys.

[Gabby] You'll
be there in spirit.

[Joe] Yeah.

I, I'm kind of at
a loss right now.

I am being removed from
the challenge, due to my heart.

I've always been told
that was my greatest asset.

And, turns out it's one
of my weakest right now.

[Joe] Just finish together.

- [Gabby] We can do that.
- [Ky] We will.

[Joe] Just take care
of each other, okay?

- [Gabby] I hope you get better.
- [Joe] Okay.

I can't believe I got to
spend the time with you guys.

[Ky] Yes, me too.

[Joe] Pretty heartbroken
about it all. But...

...I'm at extreme
risk for a heart attack.

And I've got a family
I've gotta take care of.

I can't ignore that.

God, I just, I just
wanted a few more days.

I left everything out here.

There's nothing more I can do.

Maybe I just pushed
myself too much.

But I will be healthy in no
time, and you will see me again.

This just wasn't my time.

[Gabby sighing] I
did not expect that.

[Ky] Neither did I.

[Gabby] I'm absolutely shocked. I
knew that Joe's heart rate was high,

but I didn't know that he
was at risk of being tapped.

It just goes to show you, though,
that, you know, we can tap at any time.

[Ky] Yeah, it just makes you
feel like none of us are safe.

[Gabby] This
challenge is no joke.

You just never know when it's
gonna be your time to go, so...
