I've been in the
Amazon for 21 days

by myself in wet season.

The challenges that I'm
anticipating in this terrain

all have to do with the fact that we're
here right in the middle of wet season.

This place is
absolutely beautiful.

But it's so dangerous.

I'm at the gateway
to the Amazon.

And it's the middle
of monsoon season.

This is unknown terrain for me,

and I'm out here with
a brand new survivalist.

Deep in the Colombian jungle,

two veteran survivalists,
Gabby and Ky

will use their elite
skills to help two fans

with little survival experience,

complete a 21-day challenge.

The adrenaline is pumping
pretty hard core right now.

There could be a number of animals
including big cats creeping up behind us.

This place is scary.

Everything wants to eat
you including all the bugs.

It's a whole new territory.

This has potential for being the
hardest challenge I've ever been on.

I'm a firm believer that women are
amazing in these kind of situations

and I think this is
our chance to prove it.

I'm just not sure anybody
can survive here for 21 days.

Oh, my God!

Two strangers... Ah!
Run! Go, go, go, go!

Oh, God!

No food...

Whoa!

No water...

Twenty-one days... Don't tap.

Die first.

Naked And Afraid.

I need my partner to have a good,
strong mental attitude out here.

There's room for fear but
there is no room for quitting.

Ten years ago, I was in
the swamps in Louisiana.

I then did the first Naked
and Afraid of Sharks

in The Bahamas...

...followed by 21 days
alone in the Amazon.

Then I moved into
Frozen in Montana.

Ky is a former
Hollywood stunt performer

and mountaineering guide.

Her ability to persevere in the
face of adversity is unmatched.

And she's an expert in
trapping and bushcraft.

She starts with a Primitive
Survival Rating or PSR

of 9.1.

My partner's brand
new to this challenge.

Uh, that's probably one of the
biggest draws to this challenge.

I'm... I'm very excited to
work with another female.

My dad... He would be
more excited than anyone

that I was out her e
mentoring someone.

He taught me, you know, most of
what I know about the survival world.

He actually passed
away last year.

So I dedicate this
challenge to my dad.

It's a mentorship challenge
and... and he was my mentor.

I love coming out
on these challenges

and I'm excited to back for
another one, to be honest.

There's a lot of
unknowns out here.

This is my first time
in South America.

I've been in the Philippines,

I've been in South Africa,

and I've been in the
United States twice.

This is nothing like that.

Gabby has survived in some of the
harshest environments in the world.

She brings bushcraft
and trapping skills

along with mental and
physical toughness.

She starts with a PSR of 9.1.

Guess this is my stop.

Here we go.

This is the moment.

Here we go.

Wish me luck.

The sun is definitely
beating down, so it is very hot.

I'm actually looking forward
to a little bit of cloud cover,

and super stoked to be
meeting my partner very soon.

I'm a middle school
science teacher.

And I also own a
Christmas tree farm

in East Bridgewater,
Massachusetts.

My survival style is more
of a gatherer, a scavenger.

I definitely know how to
think outside of the box.

But this is definitely going to be
the hardest thing that I've ever done.

My head is full of a
lot of fear, anxiety,

but I've taught middle
schoolers during the pandemic.

If I can do that, I
can do anything.

As a teacher, Megan
is an innovative thinker.

She is driven and
great at problem solving,

but can be quick
to lose her nerve.

She begins the challenge
with a PSR of 5.1.

Hi.

-How are you?
-No way! Oh, my God.

Are you kidding me?

-Oh, my God.
-I'm Ky.

-I'm Megan. It's so nice to meet you.
-Hi. Nice to meet you too.

- Oh, my God. This is surreal.
- Welcome.

-Yeah. How're you feeling?
-Oh, my God.

-You know, I'm really nervous.
-Yeah, of course.

Well, it's absolutely natural.

I mean, you're about
to do the craziest thing

you've probably
ever done in your life.

Literally, the craziest thing.

-Yeah.
-It's surreal.

Have the afraid
part pretty well down.

- And the naked part, clearly.
- Right.

I can't believe
this. I'm like...

-Yeah.
-I'm going to fangirl a little bit, but...

- Oh, really? So...
- I might cry a little.

That's okay.

We all might cry a little
bit over the next 21 days.

It's fine. I mean,
I'm not gonna lie,

you've got one of
the hardest locations,

one of the hardest
times of year,

but I totally feel confident that we're
gonna get out of this together in 21 days--

Awesome.

Off to meet my partner.

Terrified. Excited.

Every emotion that
you can think of,

I am going through it right now.

I'm a former model.

I work for an airline
as a project manager.

And I'm a mom, I'm a wife.

And I have an absolute
love for the outdoors.

I'm not afraid of getting dirty.

I'm not afraid of
getting uncomfortable.

I mean, you can
have your nails done,

and get them dirty
at the same time.

At home, I'm vegetarian
99% of the time.

And so, I think that there's
definitely some challenges

to that part of
being a survivalist.

I've seen so many amazing,
strong women on these challenges,

and it really is my
hope that I get to be

in that hall of
fame with them too.

As a former model, Elise
is often underestimated.

She is calm under
pressure and a hard worker.

But her reluctance to eat
meat could be her Achilles' heel.

She starts with a PSR of 5.2.

Oh, my God.

Hi!

Hey, I'm Gabby.

Hi, I'm Elise.

- Oh, my God. I know who you are.
-This is...

So nice to meet you.

-Get in here.
-Hi. Oh, it's so awesome.

-This is exciting. Yes.
-This is exciting.

You've ever been
in a terrain like this?

-I haven't. This is the first time for me.
-Okay.

I've never been to
South America myself.

It's a whole new
terrain for me too.

You know, I can't
wait to learn from you.

I feel like I've seen you, you
know, doing some crazy things.

I hope that I can share some of the
knowledge and experience that I have.

I love it.

I cannot believe that
my partner is Gabby.

You know, hopefully,
I can keep up.

'Cause she's a true badass.

And hope that I just
don't let her down.

Well, I think I see
our bags over here.

-Oh, awesome.
-Should we go and see what we end up with?

Yeah. Absolutely.

-This one's yours.
-Thank you.

All right.

Well, I've got my machete in
here which I'm pretty excited about.

I got some paracord.

A handline, fishing line. And
there's actually hooks in here as well.

-My handy, dandy pocket knife.
-Excellent.

Each team has also been
given a pot and fire starter,

as fire will be essential
for boiling water

and keeping predators at bay.

All right, so before
you look at the map,

I have a bit of
information for you.

We are out here
on a tribes mission.

-What?
-Yes!

-So many surprises today.
-I know.

I love Gabby. Gabby
and I met on Frozen.

Oh, my gosh.

-That's awesome, Ky.
-That's a victory.

Not only do I get to
mentor a new survivalist,

I get to spend time with someone
who's become like my sister.

So by the way, there's one
more thing I have to tell you.

So, this is actually
a tribes challenge.

-Oh, my goodness. This is so crazy.
-Yeah.

-So it's another twist to it.
-Yeah.

I really look up to Ky.

I think she is not only
an outstanding survivalist,

but an awesome person.

And we're so excited to
do this challenge together.

So, it's the very, very first
all-female tribes Naked and Afraid.

-That's insane.
-Yeah, it's brilliant.

For this all-female
tribes challenge,

each pair of survivalists
will be in two separate camps

about five miles apart
for the first nine days.

On day ten, they will merge

and attempt to complete
the challenge as one tribe.

Looks like there's a waterway, and
that would be like, right over here.

And um, it looks like a
great spot to set up camp.

-You ready for this?
-I'm ready. Let's do it.

-All right. I think we're that way.
-Okay.

Let's do it.

Looks like a set of caves or
something with a water source there.

It could make for
some good shelter too.

Especially in this,
uh, in this wet season.

So, I reckon we
should just get going.

-Absolutely.
-Awesome. So it's this way.

All right. Very good.
You lead the way.

Here in the jungle of
San Jose Del Guaviare,

located just two
degrees from the Equator,

the heat and humidity
can be crushing.

The terrain changes rapidly

from dense forest
to tall, grassy plains,

where one false step can mean
a deadly bite from a fer-de-lance,

the most lethal snake
on the continent.

The area is also known for its
many ancient cave formations,

some of which contain
tribal rock paintings

dating over 20,000 years old.

This monsoon season is
like, is no joke down here.

No, right?

- It is real. It is real.
-Yeah, this is...

-At least the rain's staying away right now.
-Mmm-hmm.

For now. We know it's coming.

We know it's coming.

Lot of stuff here, look.

If we see it laying out dry.

We'll grab a bunch of
tinders, as much as we see.

Before it starts
raining like crazy.

Yeah. Before everything's wet.

Monsoon season in Colombia
brings unpredictable rain showers

that can last from only
moments up to days at a time,

bringing life-threatening
flash flooding.

Shelter from the rain will
be critical to survival here.

Vultures are circling already.

They're like, "They've
got into that stage,

they've taken
their clothes off."

"Any moment now
we're gonna feast."

- They're ready for a meal.
- Yeah.

What's your biggest
concern out here?

Uh, probably dehydration.

-Freaks me out a little bit.
-Yeah.

-Or a lot of it, I should say.
-Yeah.

Um, hypothermia. Those
are my two biggest concerns.

Right. Yeah.

Oh, boy.

Here it comes.
Here it comes is right.

Oh, geez. This
is less than ideal.

- It's not the best situation.
- No.

Uh, I found really fresh water.

Holy cow! Look at that.

- This is amazing.
- -This might be a great spot.

We have to be cognizant
though, of flash flooding.

Okay.

-Um, so I wouldn't go too low.
-Too, too far in here.

I'd love to find any cave,
or overhang of some sort.

Don't really know how
possible it is in the rain, but...

I know.

It's the only way
we're gonna stay dry.

Oh, hey, look. There's
a ton of cliffs over there.

Yeah. We may have
to head to that direction.

- Let's go check it out.
- Yeah.

I just am not seeing good
shelter-building materials here.

Absolutely. It's so
wet on the ground too.

Mmm. Like, with this kind of foliage,
we'd need to build a debris shelter

and that would need
like, three foot of foliage

before we, maybe,
stop some of this rain.

Mmm.

I could see some rock
formations over here.

Oh, yeah. Wow.

-That's awesome.
-I think we're gonna need to shelter soon, anyway.

Yeah. I think
you're totally right.

Megan and Ky are located in
an area with large rock formations

that offer protection
for wildlife such as bats,

armadillo and honeybees.

Never know what you're
gonna get with, uh... rocks.

You could have amazing
shelter, could house predators.

- Absolutely.
- Could be some food sources.

I think, we're best to sort of,
see what... what's inside here.

Yeah. I think that's
a really smart idea.

Oh, wow. This is so different.

Wow.

- What a location.
- Yeah.

Feel like there's definitely
stuff in here we can use too.

Ooh, oh! Oh wow!

They're gonna be
great for the mosquitoes.

Wow. Look over there.

Oh, my God.

- I mean, it's flat here.
- Yeah.

How would you feel about here?

Yeah. I'd be down for that.

There's definitely enough space.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. I kinda like this one.

-'Cause I feel like we're protected from everything.
-Yeah.

Here, shelter's nailed.

Like, a waterproof shelter
on the first night is amazing.

The biggest struggle
here is gonna be food.

All right.

Anxiety's still little high.

But, um...

I feel kind of, overwhelmed
with everything.

Um, like I don't really
know where to start.

But I have a really good mentor.

But firewood is
gonna be a challenge.

For sure.

Somethin' is
better than nothin'.

Ah, there's a little river.

I think it's gonna
be a fishing river.

But... It's definitely
a good water source.

It looks like it's gonna flow.

- That's great.
- Yeah. Not too far from camp.

Yeah.

Wonder how the other
group are doing out here.

Yeah. Me too.

Five miles to the south,

Gabby and Elise are
situated near a flowing river.

Here, thick jungle intertwines
with a vast cave system,

which are home to
vampire bats, small rodents,

and wild cats such as
the ocelot and jaguar.

Gabby, I'm going in.

Oh, ho!

What is this?

- Oh, this is perfect.
- Yeah.

- Oh, this is exactly what we need.
- This... Yeah.

Wow.

- No. We're not going down there.
- Yep. Told you that.

- Did you see one fly out?
- Yeah. I sure did.

Oh, man.

- Cool. This is super cool.
-Okay. This is great.

The ground does
seem relatively dry...ish.

It's soft, dry.

For sure. It'll make
a good night...

-Yeah.
-Night or two temporary shelter.

-I like it.
-Yeah. Let's do it.

- Till we can find something better.
- Yeah.

This location, um, is
a little less than ideal,

only because the
water is so far away.

It's a really treacherous
walk to get there.

Tomorrow, we'll continue
exploring and try and find a spot

that's a little bit
closer to the water,

and hopefully have some of the
same advantages as this space.

So I think our next endeavor
here before it gets too late

is to get a fire going.

You, uh, wanna do the honors?

Let's try.

Let's see.

I feel like, this is like, the intimidating
part where it's like, "Oh, Lord."

Now put it a little bit lower.

And, rather than... Don't
move your right hand at all.

If you have... If you have
the striker in your right hand,

hold your striker very
close to your tinder

-and then pull the other side back.
-Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

We'll put this tinder back.

We've got fire.

Tomorrow we can
get to a better location.

-Um, better shelter situation.
-Yeah.

-It's not a bad scenario.
-It's not. For now.

Night one. So far so
good on our first night.

Yeah. Absolutely.

Not too buggy.
Really no mosquitoes.

-So, we've really lucked out in this area.
-Yeah.

And, if we can just keep this fire
going, I think we should be good.

Yep. Absolutely.

Oh, it is getting dark.

I feel like it's already
with my head a little bit.

-Yeah.
-I don't know, could be just the night

but I'm like, urgh.

I'm feeling like I'm seeing
things that are not there.

What's that?

Okay.

Yeah. That's all right.

Oh, my God.

I don't think I've ever done
anything so scary in my life.

How are you feeling
being able to sleep

on your first night out here?

- Better than good. Yeah.
- Manageable?

-I think it's like, fear of the unknown.
-Of course.

- It's morning.
- The sun is rising.

Just waking up
after my first night

sleeping in the Amazon.

Probably got about an hour
tops, may be put together,

but it was a good night.

We stayed warm. We stayed dry.

That's really all
that matters to me.

I am super proud of you.

I am kind of proud
of myself, actually.

-Considering... Yeah.
-Pushing through. Yeah.

It's one night but it's one night
more than I've ever done before.

-So...
-Right. And it's one of the hardest nights.

I really like Megan's vibe.

She seems excited but really
honest about her fears, you know.

Out here, there's no
room for false bravado

and I'd rather be
working with someone

who's gonna let me know
exactly where they stand.

I think we should start today,
maybe doing a little bit more exploring.

Need to see what
this area has to offer.

Sounds good.

Day two. We are planning
today to find a new shelter

little bit closer
to the resources.

Uh, we had a pretty
good night last night.

So that reaffirms my thought
that I wanna stay in the caves.

If at all possible, to try
and find us a new cave

closer to the resources.

-All right. Let's get out of here.
-Okay.

It think... I think
we can do better.

It was a good first night,
but I think we can do better.

- We can hit the river route from here.
- Mmm-hmm.

And this is probably
the best outcrop of rocks

that I see close to the river.

I think the shade will be
nice too 'cause it is getting hot.

It's getting brutal hot.

-Feel the burn, right?
-Yeah.

It's amazing how rapidly
the ecosystem changes here.

It is crazy.

So we go from marsh hot
wetlands to flat out jungle.

Oh, wow.

-This is huge.
-This is huge.

What a cave!

"What a cave!" is right.

This is incredible.

Wow!

- I think this is great.
- Yeah.

This looks like a
pretty clear path.

- Get some water and fire work.
- To get to our resources.

Look how closer
we are from here.

Wow.

I'm happy that there are
so many resources around.

There is palms, banana leaves.

Water is really close
by which is a big thing.

- Uh, we just have to be really cognizant of...
- Water.

This is definitely like
a water path right here.

- It is.
- So if the rains are here, we're gonna have to...

- We wanna stay on higher ground.
- Yeah.

-We can make this work.
-Okay.

- I like it. Okay.
- Awesome.

All right. Let's go figure out what
we need to get started for the day.

Slippery when wet.

So, looking at the land
with an eye for resources.

Ooh, that looks like
some sour cane up there.

Yes, Ky.

Our first bit of food out here.

Good news.

We have some sour
cane in the region.

I've never tried it before
but I know it is edible.

First bit of wild food out here.

How's it taste?

-Sour.
-Yeah?

Hmm. Interesting.

-Want a bite?
-Yeah.

-Hmm, it's pretty good.
-Mmm.

-It's got a great taste.
-Mmm-hmm.

And sometimes like, you don't
need something in your tummy,

but just the idea that you're
getting a different taste,

like, washing that, haven't
brushed-my-teeth feeling

out of your mouth.

- Take the small wins out here.
- Mmm-hmm.

-Sorry, Ky, if I got that on you.
-You did.

- Um, let's keep going this way.
- Okay.

- We know a little bit more of our area now.
- Yes.

We got fire, we have shelter...

- Yes.
- -There's no food around here.

- So...
- Right. Let's...

Bit of an interesting location.
Not a lot of resources.

Yeah. I mean, we are lucky enough
to be close to some fresh water,

but otherwise, we haven't
been lucky with food.

Found some sour cane
and that's pretty much it.

Pretty wild storm is coming in,

probably our wildest,
with the most wind,

howling at the moment.

It's about to start
bucketing raining

and the wind is pushing
it straight in our shelter.

We tried to stoke
up the fire a bit.

But I think we're gonna have
to retreat behind that ledge.

We are crouched here,
behind this little rock ledge.

Trying to ride out this storm.

The wind is probably
the most ferocious

in the direction we
haven't had before.

And it's, um, pushing the
rain right through the shelter.

It's chilly. This is definitely the
biggest storm we have had out here.

And, uh...

I mean, I'm glad we've
got somewhere to hide.

Everywhere else is
gonna be pretty soaked.

But it is wild out there.

I don't think there's a dry
spot in this cave right now.

- Mmm-hmm.
- Yeah.

We have a little bit of a
leak going on in the cave.

Uh-huh.

Uh, day's plan I think is, create
ourselves an elevated platform here.

For the water that's like,
actually just ground water,

it's kinda seeping
around in the sand.

-We have plenty of materials out back.
-Yeah.

Gabby and Elise will make
their elevated platform bed

by forming a frame using
Y-sticks and long branches.

Then horizontal
support beams are added

before slats are
laid over the top

to create the
platform's foundation.

Nice.

-Get it.
-Get it.

Okay.

Ooh!

-I'm getting bit real bad.
-Uh-oh.

Right there, look at
that mother trucker.

- He bite you?
- Yeah. He bit the out of me.

- Look at that ant right there. You see him?
- Yeah.

I think he's carrying a
piece of my sole with him.

Holy crap!

- Oh, my God. Look at--
- He's trying to bite the...

- He's biting the knife.
- The knife.

Ow!

- That was our last... The last slat for the bed.
-That's last for today.

Ow!

Oh!

Something just bit me
real... Oh, one of those ants.

Did you get to see him.
Was it the same type?

- It was the same. Yeah.
- Damn.

Yep.

Think I saw some like,
deadwood down on the plain here.

- Okay.
- Let's try that.

The problem with finding
firewood in wet season

in this jungle environment
is, if it's lying on the ground,

it's full of termites and soggy.

So we're gonna have to be
targeting standing deadwood.

This is a good piece.

We'll put it in the...
pile over by our...

um, other rock to give it time.

That sounds good.

Sorry. I am very uncoordinated
right now for some reason.

Uh... Because you
haven't eaten for four days.

I am not as oriented
as I normally am.

It's the first day I'm
feeling light-headed.

Okay.

My heart is racing a
little bit faster than normal.

But I know this is temporary.

There's a light at the
end of the tunnel, so...

I'm gonna push through.

-One day at a time, girl.
-Yeah.

- Awesome.
- Cool.

Now we're gonna build our frame.

All right.

We'll put one more cross number,
maybe two more cross numbers in here.

And then we'll lay these
sticks on here like this.

And then just hope to God that it'll
hold our weight through the night.

Yeah.

Elise is a fantastic weaver.

And she's way better than I am.

So let her weave.

I'm a pretty good
builder. Let me build.

It makes for a great team.

I feel like, you're
just like superwoman.

She's got way more
strength than I do.

- Yeah.
- Should we try it?

Give it a try.

Okay. We're here and
it's good. It's not bad.

- Thank you for your ingenuity.
- Yeah. No worries.

That's what I'm here for.

I don't even know where
the hell I'm going now.

Over here, Sweetie.

I'm really struggling.

- Are you all right?
- Not good.

I think I just need one second.

Feeling a little faint.

My stomach is like,
jacked up right now.

Just acid. I'll be fine.

We've been hauling
firewood in a hot morning.

And if you don't
know what it feels like

to put your body
through this experience,

it can feel like you're dying.

Okay. I think I do
need to take a beat.

Just lie down.

- Sorry, Ky.
- No, there's only one more.

Little load left. You
just, um, relax, please.

I don't like to just sit
down and do nothing

when somebody else is
working really hard, but...

I think I just need a minute.

Megan's really not doing well.

And I just think, if we could
get some food in her stomach,

it might start to help her
heal, even if it's just mental.

I think it's time to
get serious about

making sure I can get
something in her stomach.

You see this plant here?

The leaves look a lot
like that jungle pineapple.

Look, ah, there's
a few of them here.

I reckon this one's ripe.

Oh, it actually even
smells like a pineapple.

This is a good win,
even if it's just a mouthful.

Mentally,

might be the thing
to get us through.

How're you doing?

Same.

Oh, I know you're
probably not feeling up to it...

Oh, wow.

That's awesome.

You let me know when
you wanna try a bit.

That's awesome. Okay. Thank you.

I don't want you to feel like you
need to force anything down right now.

-So, you let me know when you think...
-Thank you.

-You...
-If you handed that to me yesterday.

I would have ate it in a second.

-I know.
-I'm just gonna give it a little bit

to make sure nothing's
coming back up

-'cause I definitely don't wanna waste that food.
-Of course.

Oh, girl. You okay?

Oh, boy.

I think it's just
acid, honestly.

Get some water in
you to wash it out.

-Even if you have to...
-I'm gonna hold off on a little bit, I think.

It hurts so bad.

That's the most you've
thrown up, isn't it?

- I think so.
- Oh, yeah.

I'm a little bit worried...

...about Megan at the moment.

She's really not doing so well.

She just can't hold
any foods down.

And in, an
environment like this...

Dehydration can
get you in hours.

- Oh, really?
- Mmm-hmm.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, girl.

Megan is not doing well at all.

She's pale,

her stomach cramps are
there, more throwing up

and now she has diarrhea.

So, I've had stomach
cramps all night long.

Um, I've been vomiting.

- She started getting diarrhea as well this morning.
- -Mmm.

Uh, probably about
three times, I've gone.

Okay.

This situation is... is
not... is not good for her.

The source of Megan's
declining health is unknown.

But because has been unable
to retain any fluids for 24 hours,

and has a fever,

the medic determines she must leave
the challenge to be treated at a hospital

and have further testing.

It's gonna be better for
your health and wellbeing

that we get you out of here
and get some proper care.

I understand.

So this is a medical tap out.

-I'm sorry, Ky.
-No, don't apologize.

I really am so sorry.

You've been an
amazing mentor to me.

I learned a lot from
you in five days,

despite the fact that
it's not the whole 21.

And I'm definitely going to
carry that with me for a lifetime.

So thank you so much.

I'm really disappointed for her.

Uh, she had everything
I could've wanted

with her survival
attitude out here.

-Ky, thank you so much.
-Recover well.

I got you. No worries.

Look after yourself.

You know, as a mentor,
you never like to see

the person you're mentoring
not achieve the goal.

And I'm trying not to look at
this as a failure on my behalf.

But these challenges are real.

They're really hard on the body.

And you're in such a
foreign environment

that anything can
happen, and it did.

I didn't make it to day 21.

It's okay. I have to
be okay with that.

Ky is the toughest
person I've ever met.

And I know that she
can make it and thrive

and sustain without me here.

Despite the fact that I'm
letting my partner down,

this experience, I'm
going to take with me

and cherish for
the rest of my life.

Megan's deteriorating health

prevents her from
completing the challenge.

Her PSR drops from 5.1

to 4.8.

Yeah. Five short days.

And, um... I'm back here
on my own in the Amazon.

Well, you're a
little fiesty one.

Luckily, that's a familiar
experience for me.

I'd love to trap something,
but it's so discouraging.

I think the only thing we
could possible trap is the agouti.

Like those, like
the mice almost.

Yeah, it's like a jungle rat.

Yeah.

- It's the morning of day five.
- Feeling a little sluggish.

I know Elise is as well.

My body is trying to tell me
something. I need some food.

I think... There's
fruit on that palm.

It has orange fruits on it.

- You wanna go look?
- Hmm. Let's do it.

We found it.

Look, this is a moriche fruit.

There's very little,
actual meat to this fruit,

but it's kinda mango-like.

Um, you can see
on the ground there

that animals have gnawed
away at all the... the tasty bits,

and they leave the seeds there.

I think I might like, try
and make a... a trap.

Something's obviously
eating all the moriches.

There's, you know, 20 of
them littered on the ground.

I would like to spend the morning
showing Elise some trapping methods,

uh, to trap small rodents.

This is a good find today.

-Yeah, I agree.
-Yeah.

When you bite it, it honestly tastes
like you've got shells in your eggs.

-Like, I swear that's what it feels like.
-It does.

-You ever set traps before?
-Mmm-mmm.

Now, it wouldn't hurt to
have a trap or two set there

for the animals that
are eating the fruits.

I think what's going to
be really hard for me is,

if there is some type
of rodent that's cute.

We'll build the trap together.

And then once you catch
'em, you can kill and process,

I'll roast it.

I don't know if I
can do any killing.

-You can do it. It'll be fine.
-You know, I can't...

We'll call it dispatching.
It's nicer if we say "dispatch."

My entire life growing
up, it was always,

"You know, you
don't hurt animals."

And I'm primarily vegetarian.

But I knew when I signed
up for this challenge

that I would probably have to eat some
things that I have never eaten before.

I mean, see that fishing line,

'cause we're gonna
make arapuca trap.

- Okay.
- Um...

We're gonna start
with our longer sticks

and we're gonna
feed it over here.

And keep it taut.

And you're gonna do
the bottom one next.

- There.
- Perfect.

Over and over until
we have a pyramid.

An arapuca trap is made by
intertwining sticks and cordage

to create a pyramid shape.

Once the trap is set
with a trigger mechanism,

when an animal takes
the bait, the trap will fall...

...capturing the prey.

And now, just
that extra tightness

-kinda helps us.
-Mmm-hmm.

Our trap feel a bit more firm.

-Cool.
-Cool.

- So this trigger system with the string...
- Mmm-hmm.

That is something that the
Paiute Indians in America use.

So let's say we put
the moriche fruit in here,

and this little guy
comes in here,

-touches it...
-Very cool.

And then he's trapped.

This trap has the potential to
really change our lives out here.

We could definitely use
some protein right now.

Uh, we found some fruit but we're
lacking in the protein department.

Look at that. See
the moriche fruit?

That thing will come down and
capture our agouti for tomorrow.

Can't wait. All right,
we're getting out of here.

See ya.

It's night five.

Am now I'm on a
solo journey out here.

Five days before I join up
with Gabby and her partner.

I've got my fire going, we've
got a massive rainstorm.

I've gone and collected
fresh rainwater.

Which is great time to
snuggle in and start to sleep.

You'd definitely don't get
a good night's sleep here

when you're on fire
watch on your own.

But the surviving needs to go on

regardless of how
many people are here.

So it'll be food,
fire, water, shelter,

um, but double the effort.

We'll go in, we're gonna see
if there's an animal in our trap.

-If it's a rat or larger, we're eating it.
-Mmm-hmm.

I know we're malnourished.

It will make all the
difference in the world

to have our first
substantial source of protein.

Especially in these days, leading up to,
um, merging with the other tribe out here.

Fingers crossed.

All right. The trap is sprung.

What!

Nothing inside. It does look
like they took our bait, though.

Look. Looks they were
probably able to get out this side.

Because, part of our trigger
mechanism held the trap up a little bit.

And it doesn't help that the
ground's very uneven here.

I mean, I'm disappointed but
part of me is also like, "Phew!"

'Cause I didn't have to deal with killing
any little animal that was in there.

Elise, I'm gonna need you
to hold... come and hold this

as we set it again.

The bugs are
destroying me right now.

Yeah. I'm right there with you.

- Same side?
- Yeah. Just hold the right side up.

- Make them stop!
- I know.

I'm getting eaten.

Yeah. Like...

I don't know if
this is worth it.

All right. You know what, just bail
on this. I'm not having a good time.

-Yeah. I agree.
-Let's get out of here. Go, go, go, go!

Get... Get, get...
It's not worth it.

They're... They make you crazy.

The irony is that, you know
we're trying to catch food

and we became food.

- It's cool that it did spring the trap, though.
- Mmm-hmm.

I don't tend to get
challenges with much food.

This is probably the worst.

This is definitely turning
into a starvation challenge.

Wow!

I was just out exploring
this really cool gully here

to see if there were any
resources out in the gully.

And I notice what looks
like a fungus on the wall.

It's a stingless beehive.

If you look carefully,
you can see little...

There, look.

Little bee is in that funnel.

Oop! Made its way out.

Now this is pretty exciting, because I
know these bees don't sting and don't bite.

And I am familiar with their habits
from having them in Australia.

But the fascinating thing is,

these ants here,
developed this symbiosis.

when they're protecting
the stingless bee's honey.

Ants with a bite like that,

should they manage to
swarm all over my body,

they could send me into shock

with both the pain and
the venom in their bite.

So what I will do is
build a longer spear

to get into the
sweet honey inside.

I reckon if I
attached the machete

to the end of this stick,

then I'm going to
have enough distance

to keep myself
away from the ants

and yet still be able
to break open the hive

and hopefully scoop
some honey out.

I don't think I'm going
to escape this one

without some...

pretty bad ant bites.

But at the moment,
there's no food in this area.

And the reward of even
a mouthful of honey would

be worth the risk.

Knock the ants to the ground

and then while they're
going nuts down there,

try and scoop some
honey out with the machete.

Hundreds of ants are
coming out right now.

Just trying to make sure

none of them are
crawling up my spear to me.

I thought there were
hundreds in that nest,

but there are thousands
and they are mad.

Wow.

Are you kidding me?

That is insane how many
ants are living in there.

Got to dig deeper

to get to that hive.

The ants are fiercely
protecting this honey.

Got to be honey
in here somewhere.

Ooh. Oh.

Oh, my God.

Hmm.

Got to be honey
in here somewhere.

Ooh. Oh.

Oh, my God.

Yes!

Mmm.

This is what I'm looking for.

This...

is honey.

Oh, my God.

The best thing...

I have tasted out here.

Even that mouthful...

I can't even describe it.

It's like...

peachy honey.

Wow.

I guess they're
tiny little bees.

'Cause there's
not a lot of honey.

All right, that's probably
the last of the honey.

That was a success.

Good morning.

Good morning.
Today's a big day for us.

Um, we're relaxing today

because tomorrow's
our big merge.

We're excited to meet
this mysterious other group

that's out here.

I know. It's weird.

It's kind of like
an end of an era.

It is. It is a little bit.

I'm a little bit nervous
to see the team dynamic.

I mean, Gabby and I
have such a great dynamic.

I really don't want
that to change.

But hopefully we can
learn some tricks from them.

I'm really hoping that the
area isn't mosquito-filled.

That's my number one.

Please don't be mosquito-filled.

It's like a toss-up

whether I had less
food on this one

-or less food in Africa.
-Hmm.

This might be the
hardest environment

I've ever done a challenge in.

I don't know that
this is sustainable

for the next, you
know, 10 or 11 days.

It's gonna be... It's going
to be tough to get by

if we don't find more
protein or more food out here.

Never really had to
"Starve" starve quite like this.

I've been struggling
with this fire for hours.

And then suddenly
I hear something

run around my camp.

No way I can catch it in
the middle of the night.

I mean, it's pitch black.

But it's good to know
there's food out here

running around.

All right, you ready
to get out of here?

- This is it.
- All right.

Goodbye, cave.

See you. It was
good while it lasted.

Yeah.

Today is Merge day

and Elise is in for
a big surprise today.

She has no idea
that Ky is out here.

And I'm just really
excited to see

what all four of
us can do together.

-Let's figure out where we're going today.
-Okay.

- Okay. This is where we are now.
- Mm-hmm.

And it looks due west.

That's where we're
going to find a river.

Hopefully two more humans.

Two more people.

Hopefully.

- I'm a little nervous about this hike.
- -Are you?

-Mm-hmm.
-We're going to be fine.

Slow and in control.

All right. Game
on. Let's do this.

Let's get it.

To reach the merge
point at the river,

each team must hike four miles,

traversing the thick,
marshy grassland

that will leave them vulnerable

to the deadly fer-de-lance

that frequents this terrain
during the heat of the day.

I'm excited to see if
we get more resources

down at the merge point.

But to me, there's
not a lot of shelters

that you could build out here

with the materials that we have

to withstand these
kind of torrential rains.

So I'm wondering
if I'm going to...

talk them into coming
back up to these caves.

That seems to
be the best option.

Means a longer hike
on extraction day,

but the payoff is...

ten days of less misery for us.

So I'm going to do a quick
lap of my pineapple plantations

to see if any are ripe to
take with me for the merge.

I think that would
be a nice treat

if they don't have
pineapples where they are.

Oh, there's another one in here.

Then I managed to find a
few that are perfectly ripe.

So it looks like I'll be
able to take a treat.

I'm really excited to head off

into the next phase
of the journey.

Time to put out my
fire and get out of here.

I'm really excited to see Gabby

and I'm also excited to
meet her new partner.

I mean, I'm not the
mentor to Gabby's partner,

but I've got all this knowledge

that I'd love to share as well.

- Ooh, sun's starting to beat down.
- Mm-hmm.

Snake time.

-Be careful in these overhangs.
-Okay.

- They're a nice place for a snake to hide.
- Okay.

- So just kind of take a step out from them.
- Okay.

We're descending
into the valley,

-hopefully where the river is.
-Mm-hmm.

Um, a little bit of a tough walk
so far. What do you think, Elise?

Yeah, it's a different
terrain on our feet

than what I feel like

you and I have been kind
of used to the last while.

Yeah.

Mm, extra rocky.

Based on these
elevation changes,

the water must
rush down this hill.

I mean, we'll be
in serious trouble

-if a flash flood were to come down this place.
-Yeah.

Definitely feels like there's
a rainstorm coming in.

I think shelter is
probably the biggest thing

that's playing on
my mind right now.

Rain is something
that can put you

right out of the challenge.

As I come down
into the valley here,

uh, the vegetation's
getting thicker.

It's harder to find a path.

Having to take it
way more slowly.

But I can hear the river,
so I must be getting close.

- Do you hear that?
- Mm-hmm.

-Is that a voice?
-I heard a voice.

You guys ready?

Oh, my God!

You guys ready?

Oh, my God.

This looks like
a familiar person.

Gabby!

Hello!

It's definitely an
exhausting hike down.

I look up and there's
another woman crossing.

I immediately recognize Ky.

I mean, she is kind of
a legend around here.

You're alone!

I've been so excited
for this moment.

Party of one here, I'm afraid.

Where's your partner?

- Med tap.
- Really?

Yeah, watch out. That's
really slippery, okay?

Unfortunately, there
was only one person

who was crossing
the river to meet us.

But you know, it
was so empowering

to see another woman
in the same situation.

-So nice to meet you. I'm Elise.
-I'm Ky.

-Hi, Elise.
-Hi, are you a hugger?

-Yeah, sure. You know we're all huggers here.
-Oh, come in here.

And you, girl.

Oh, my God.

-So good to see you.
-I'm so glad to see you, too.

- Yeah.
- I did bring you a present.

- You got one, too. Have you tried them yet?
-Aww.

- Yeah.
- Oh, my gosh.

We've only found one
out here and it is so good.

It's so amazing to
see Gabby again.

I believe that women
together are stronger

and she and I most
definitely smashed

the Frozen challenge together.

I think we got something here...

...coming to the surface.

Yeah!

Gabby! Woo!

This was our last
key to the puzzle.

- You did good, Ky.
- You did real good.

It is nice to see
there's a mentee

still in the mentor challenge

and I'm looking forward
to getting to know her.

- Congratulations!
- Thank you!

You're amazing!

- She's halfway there, right?
- Right.

But in some of the
hardest conditions

that you can
exist in in this like,

...in this world, honestly.

You know, I was thinking--

- Mm-hmm.
- ...I know that the original sort of idea was

that we make a shelter here,

but I don't trust this weather.

-I know.
-I'm thinking that we go back

to either my shelter
or your shelter

and ride out the rest
of the challenge there.

It'll mean, like, a little
bit of an extra hike

-on extraction day--
-Sure.

...but we're saving calories

not having to build
a waterproof shelter

-for the three of us.
-Mmm.

-Oh, yeah. I definitely don't
want to build a shelter-- -I agree.

...and there's no caves
on the map in this area.

Plus, I mean...

what happens if it rains?

- Mmm.
- Like, if we get one of these monsoon rains,

like, who knows how
high this river gets?

So this probably is not
the best location for us.

I think we'd be
better off up the hill.

Okay.

I guess it's just weighing up

who's got what at what cave.

-I'm in an archway.
-Oh.

- What was yours?
- We were in a cave.

-Cave? A good one?
-Yeah.

Our cave is decent, Ky.

Like, we can make three work.

We're just gonna
be sardines in there.

What do you guys think?

I think we should
probably head to yours.

Yeah, I don't think
it looks safe here.

Yep, that's the feeling. I
think we should go for it.

Let's go.

Look, there are no
great options here,

but at least our cave is
on higher ground than Ky's

and it provides some protection

from the wind and the rain.

There's just nothing
here to build a shelter with

and we'd be in real trouble
should a flash flood happen.

In survival situations,
you need to pivot.

I look forward to learning

the... problems and solutions

you've put together
with your camp.

That's the same
thing we were thinking,

was, like, we're looking
forward to seeing

what worked for you guys.

We were really hoping
to, like, good firewood--

- Mm-hmm.
- ...a better technique than we were coming up with.

So you see that
dead tree at the top?

- Yeah.
- That's our cave.

I'm sad your partner
had to tap out, though.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I was disappointed.

Yeah.

Like, if you were on a mentor
challenge without a mentee.

Of course.

You know, I really look up to Ky

and she has way more
experience in this than I do.

I look at her as
kind of a mentor.

So it's like a mentee, a
mentor-mentee and a mentor.

And I think Elise is excited
to learn from Ky, genuinely.

This is super cute.

- Oh.
- It's a mess--

- ...from the outside.
- -I apologize in advance

for the mess, but...

Well, you didn't know
you were having visitors.

Wow.

Hmm.

That rain was vicious in there.

That was the worst
night we've maybe had.

Thank God for this cave.

Got a nasty storm rolling in.

Would you guys be up

for maybe trying
to put a little roof

on the bed platform?

- Yeah, absolutely.
- Yeah.

I'm in my, like,
don't-pass-out mode right now.

Yeah, don't pass out.

Let that water sink in.

We're going to get
wet as in a minute.

- Yeah.
- -And it's going to be cold

- and hard to dry out.
- Yeah.

- Here it comes.
- Yeah.

I'm making a canopy
over our shelter for tonight.

Um, the rain pours in
when it's a bad storm.

And we're trying to avoid

being soaking wet at
night with the cool breeze.

So our idea is to take the
fronds and layer this top.

It's a little bit of a
shelter within a shelter.

And we'll still, you
know, cover ourselves

in fronds as well,

but, uh, we'll have
both a wind block

and a rain block.

This cave roof leaks like...

someone's put a
hose down every hole.

Yes.

Last night was cold and rainy

but we cuddled up and
stayed warm and dry

under our cabana roof.

So the plans for today
is to find food out here,

because I have, in
the back of my mind,

a little worry about the
scarcity of resources out here.

Oh, you see any berry
patches up in here?

Anything?

Any Oreos or peanut butter?

Literally anything.

Feeling good? Oh!
Snake, snake, snake.

What type? That looked
like an adder head.

- Don't go in where you can't see your feet.
- -No.

Uh, he's non-venomous.

- You sure?
- I'm positive.

I'm going to flip it right here.

-All right. Okay, so take a few steps.
-Move out.

-Yeah, I got my machete.
-You want to eat him, right?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, look at him
shaking his tail.

Jesus!

Okay, you got him.

Feeling good? Oh!
Snake, snake, snake.

Oh, look at him
shaking his tail.

Jesus!

- Okay, you got him.
- I got him.

- He's pinned. Not for long.
- All right. No, he's not.

- This stick is not good.
- -All right.

- I can't see his head yet.
- All right.

Um... Do we have a better stick?

- Do you want me to grab his tail?
- No. No.

Oh, you're going to have to.-.

- He was eating a lizard.
- -He was eating a lizard.

Oh, man!

We could've had
lizard and snake!

This is why we don't use
this for the snake stick, huh?

Yeah.

Lesson learned.

Snake? Yeah, I'm
a little disappointed

about that whole situation.

Um, retrospect, I
probably should have

just grabbed the thing
and taken the chance on it.

Nice work, Gabs.

Um, it would have been way
better work had we got him.

It was a little frustrating
to have something so close

I could almost taste,
slip away like that.

Um, I try and stay positive

and think there's
always tomorrow,

but that one
definitely stung a bit.

Stupid thing.

What a bummer.

Hey, Gabby, is that a
sour cane right there?

- Yeah.
- To the left.

- It's a couple of them.
- -Yeah.

- See the red?
- Oh, wow! Yeah.

Awesome.

Should we just chop
one and then share it?

- I think that's a good idea.
- -Yeah.

We can come back for
another tomorrow if we...

If you hold it up,

you can squeeze
the water out of it.

Just bend it a little bit.

What's it taste like?

- It's sort of sappy water.
- Yeah.

-Yeah.
-It's actually pretty good.

Has a little floral taste to it.

- It's nice.
- Yeah.

And you can, like, squeeze it.

Yeah.

Should we go back and sit?

Yeah, let's go sit and enjoy it.

All right.

Exciting morning.

Elise spotted some
sour cane on the path,

and we're getting
ready to try it.

She's cutting it down into
threes, and... here we go.

We're going to try it.

Well, it's not as sour as
the last ones that we had.

- This one is not as sour, no.
- No.

How does it feel to be
sucking on something?

It's delicious.

Any food score is
a good day here.

You might be able to
help us trap a little bit,

'cause that's more
your specialty than ours.

Yeah, for sure.

We've tried arapuca--

- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!
- With rock top.

Paracord helps with the arapuca.

Ky is a master trapper,

so I really look forward
to our use of the cordage

that she brought with her
to improve our arapuca trap

and improve our
chances of hunting.

It would be a
absolute game changer

to actually nail some protein.

Something I find on
these, like, last week is

- your problem-solving capacity really diminishes.
- -Mm-hmm.

But you can look at
something for ages

and you're like, "I'm pretty
sure I knew how to do this once,

and... now I don't."

It is a little bit easier

to build an arapuca
trap with paracord

that allows you to
get great tension on it.

If we can make it
heavy enough on top,

then the critter can't
crawl out underneath either

and can't burrow.

Placing it on hard ground
and using the paracord are

probably two key
differences I did with this trap.

I think that I'm going
to bait it with moriche.

I have one in my bag.

Okay.

And you put it near that.

As soon as it steps
on that, it's done.

This is looking good.

It would be incredible

if we can catch something
in that arapuca trap.

I would be beside myself if
we were able to snag a bird

or an agouti or
something out here.

Because I do think
there's a chance

that Elise won't make
it out of here on day 21

if we cannot procure
some type of food.

She's looking...

pretty thin, and I'm
worried about her.

Did you want to come
check the trap in a sec, Gab?

Yeah, I'm coming.

You know, every
time you stand up,

you almost fall down.

It's hard to find words.

It really is coming
to the critical point

in this challenge.

Me being mainly carnivore,

my body's definitely
feeling the lack right now.

Let's go check this trap.

You never know, there might be

a pineapple-eating
agouti in here.

I've seen agouti out
here, so I'm not losing hope

that we might get
something in that trap.

The trap's sprung.

Jesus, the trap's
sprung! Come on!

- Oh!
- Oh

The trap's sprung.

Jesus, the trap's
sprung! Come on!

- Oh!
- Oh Suddenly, I see this armadillo shoot

right out of the
trap towards me.

I know this is my
only chance for food.

- It's an armadillo.
- Yeah.

- Ready? I'll get him.
- Here.

I almost had hands on it.

- I'm going to grab his little tail, okay?
- -Surround it.

- I can get him. I can get his tail.
-All right, right here.

- You got it?
- I got him.

Okay, I've got my machete.

All right, you pull him out.

He's not loving me.

- Are you going to get him?
- Yeah.

I'm just going to stab him.

- You got him?
-Yeah, I got him. I'm tight on him.

- I'm tight on him.
- -What do you need me to help?

No, I can pull. I can pull.

Let's pull him out.

Oh, he's holding on.

All right.

Ready?

Oh, I'mma bite ya.

- You got him?
- I've got the-- -I got his tail.

I got two hands.

-I'm good. Yep, yep.
-Watch yourself.

Holy That thing's
a freaking monster.

Wow!

Holy moly.

The whole thing was just intense

and really quick to happen.

I'm so sorry, Elise.

I'm sorry you had to see that.

At the end of the day,
we walk out with a giant,

giant armadillo.

This means a lot to us.

We are eating tonight!

That's the first time
I've spring-tackled

an armadillo in an
Amazonian jungle.

'Cause he wasn't
going to get past us.

Nuh-uh.

Wow, he destroyed that trap.

I think another minute later
and we wouldn't have got him.

The trap didn't really last.

You know, not fault of the trap.

It was just a
really large animal

to get caught in there.

Nice!

Buddy work.

Teamwork, girl.

- Let's process him away from camp.
- -For sure.

Yeah. Take him out there.

It is amazing,
finally, to have a win.

Elise, you want to go
with her, gut and skin?

Um, I might have to
watch, if that's okay.

So you're going to be part of a
new learning process for me, too.

It is a very
overwhelming process.

Yeah. Well, you let me
know if it's too much, okay?

Okay.

We have a massive
rainstorm coming in

and we're going to have
to cook it over a small fire

in the cave.

I take Elise out with me to
learn how to gut an animal.

Like, that's just meat
here now, you know?

I know it's hard.

She's doing amazing.

I know this is not her thing.

She's vegetarian.

She loves animals.

I mean, I love animals
too, but this is food.

-There's a lot of meat in here.
-Mm-hmm.

I'm collecting some wood

so we can get a quick fire
going before the rain hits.

I'm just going to wash him off.

Hopefully we can get
this armadillo cooked

and smoked and...

in our stomachs.

You're doing really well.

I know it's hard.

Oh, my gosh, ladies.

I was afraid you guys
were going to get soaked.

hell.

It is cold and wet.

Oh, my gosh.

Sorry I'm not much more help

when it comes to
processing and doing.

Oh, I mean, I can't believe it.

It's not like it's
your first animal.

Elise, how are you feeling
about eating an armadillo?

I mean, there's no
hunters in my family.

- Of course. Yeah.
- There's no, you know,

there was never--
Like 90% of my family is

completely vegetarian or vegan.

And thank you for
being patient with me.

Being patient with what?

There's no patience required.

It's your first kill.

You okay?

Right now, I just...

need a few minutes.

Uh, this is the first time

that I've ever seen
anybody kill anything.

Um, you know, I... I'm
usually pretty good at, like,

separating all the things,

but, uh, this one
was hard for me.

I just wish we had time
to get bed fronds, but...

I know.

I'd rather have a happy tummy.

A hug with a full tummy tonight.

I've been vegetarian
on and off since I was 10.

So...

So it's big.

I think he's cooked through.

Yeah, I think so too.

I think we'll wait for Elise
and then have a bit of a...

an "eat" moment.

I also haven't slept
properly or eaten in 15 days.

I'm probably just a mess
right now, in general,

but yeah.

How you doing, girl?

Doing all right?

You ready to give this a try?

Sure.

Ky has a skewer ready to go.

- She's going to bring it out for us, okay?
- Okay.

But I came here
knowing that I was

going to challenge myself

and... this might be the
biggest challenge for me

out of it all.

- It's a bit gamey yeah? I thought.
-Mm-hmm.

Yeah, a bit gamey.

Not like chicken.

Just take your time.

Okay.

On skewer, I can
definitely taste

armadillo in my
meat, and it's not nice.

She's either going to be
able to eat it, or she's not.

But this is her
challenge and her choice,

and I cannot force her into it.

-All right, tried it...
-Ooh.

-You okay?
-Mm-hmm.

Not my favorite.

You can't do it?

It's just not my favorite.

It's all good.

You want to take it slowly,

or you just don't
want to try it at all?

Uh, I tried it.

You think you
might try it in a stew,

where it's a little softer?

Maybe.

Okay.

All right. We'll get you
through this challenge,

regardless of whether you
eat this thing or not, okay?

Mm-hmm. Yep.

You're with us to
the end, all right?

Doesn't matter.

You don't have to eat
meat to be a survivalist.

-You know?
-I know.

You know? So it's okay.

Especially not an armadillo.

It's an acquired taste.

It's not my favorite
first introduction

- back into the meat world.
- No.

A little salt would
go a long way.

Or like a sauce.

Some sauce?

Some ranch?

Yeah.

Right now it's really tough.

- Very steak-like, you know?
- Yeah.

You know, try again
if you feel up to it,

and if not, that's okay too.

I think I'll be okay.

We'll find you some more
pineapples, I promise.

Day 16.

Mm-hmm.

- This is only day 14.
- Hah.

Mm-hmm. Don't play
those games with me.

Don't joke.

I feel amazing.

I feel ready to knock out

these last few days
of this challenge

because I just had
a belly full of protein.

Elise, what can we do to make

these last couple of days
better for you out here?

I'm good.

I know, but what
could be better?

More pineapple.

More pineapple?

I can do that for you.

What if we trapped a bird?

Do you think you'd eat a bird?

No, don't.

I'm fine.

We know that. We
know you're fine.

But it would be nice to have

a nice little
send-off win for you.

Take only what you
need and we have enough.

And it's my choice and I
don't need anything more.

I feel bad because
I, as a mentor,

have not provided her with
an alternate protein source.

One, two, three.

I need your shoulder.

Yeah, yeah. Just
stand for a sec.

You're okay. You're okay.

You're okay. You're
okay. Stand up.

Stand up. You're okay.

Hey, Ky.

Ky.

Bring some water out, please.

- Ky?
- Yeah?

Water, now.

Here's some charcoal if
you want to brush your teeth.

- Do you mind if I dip in yours?
- Mm-mm.

-That's what it's there for.
-Ooh, bingo.

Charcoal's actually in

like a lot of natural
toothpaste and stuff.

While you've got that, um,
fuzzy bit of the sour cane

just to like, brush
over your teeth.

Charcoal also has this, um...

property where
it binds to toxins.

So anytime you're
feeling a bit sick out here,

you can chew on
a bit of charcoal

and hopefully it'll
grab onto those toxins

and eliminate them
without poisoning your body.

Yeah.

But I also find it, like,
gives you that shiny bright

once you get the
charcoal out of your teeth.

If anything, my
teeth just feel better.

You're okay. You're okay.
You're okay. You're okay.

Stand up. Stand up. You're okay.

Hey, Ky?

Ky?

Bring some water out, please.

- Ky?
- Yeah?

Water, now.

-You okay?
-Good.

Yeah, I got it together.

- You got it?
- Thank you.

You're very welcome.

- Here we go.
- You want to sit back down?

No, Need to go inside, -out of the sun.
-Are you sure?

-Yep.
-Okay.

- Thank you.
- What's that?

Um, I had a little
passy-outy moment

where I was dreaming.

Come back up in the cool.

She easily could have went down

and hit those rocks, and...

who knows, that could have

ended her challenge or worse.

- Thank you for holding my hand.
- -You okay?

I'm so glad I was there!

You're not allowed
to stand up anymore.

Um, we should
get her some water.

The human body can
only go so far without food.

And Elise is hitting that wall.

And it's scary for me

because who knows when
it's going to happen again

and whether I'll be there
to catch her next time.

I'm not going home.

Of course you're not!

I'm not going home.

I definitely do not
fault her one bit

for not wanting to eat animals.

But she's at a very
low point right now,

and she needs protein

to get through the
rest of this challenge.

Due to Elise's fainting spell,

medics are called
in to evaluate her.

All right.

Do you feel something
like dizziness or anything?

Only when I stand up.

You feel like you
can't see anything?

It just-- it's, like, when
you stand up and then--

I get up too quickly and
all of a sudden it's like

-Okay.
-And then...

- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- Okay.

Okay.

Poor Elise.

No, I'm fine.

Here's the stew.

It does look delicious.

We have it on a slow simmer.

Hopefully, we really,
really tenderize this meat.

I may try another
piece after this.

I think it was just a lot for
me to process for today.

You know what?
There's always tomorrow.

Yeah.

Elise, what's for
breakfast this morning?

Armadillo.

Armadillo.

She's doing so good.

Crunchy on the outside,
chewy on the inside.

I'm not a firm believer

that you need animal
products to survive.

But in a survival situation,

I'm going to tell you that...

you need something.

Because yesterday
freaked me out,

and I want to
make it until day 21

and I also want to
go home healthy.

Look, we're proud of you

for eating that beef
stew this morning.

I'm just happy to be
here with you both

and...

...equally as happy to know
that we're done tomorrow.

Yeah.

Awful day 20 afternoon.

Torrential rains.

Our cave was leaking
for the first time in days.

In less than 12 hours,

we're gonna be
up and ready to...

...conquer.

Conquer the extraction walk.

Gather our goods.

- Yeah.
- And look from that, I think.

- Sounds good.
- Right?

- Day...
- Twenty one.

- Twenty one.
- Yay, we made it.

Let's do this thing.

Day 21, we're getting ready
to walk out of this place,

and I am beyond excited.

It's been a wild ride.

Thank you, Colombia,

for everything that
you've provided for us,

and for the hard times, too.

Sometimes those
hardest times are

what make you a better person.

I can't wait to
cross the finish line

with Elise and Ky

and kind of pass
that torch to Elise.

Okay.

Should we check these maps out?

Let's take a look.

So right now we're here.

-Yeah.
-And we have to get

to our extraction point here.

It looks like it would
be a more direct route

if we just kind of
go that direction.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

And try and find
the river that way.

Okay.

Let's do it.

All right.

See you, cave.

Bye, cave.

I am so excited to get
the heck out of there,

but I'm also nervous

because I don't know how
long this hike's going to be.

I don't know how
arduous it's going to be.

We're only two degrees
away from the equator,

and it gets flipping hot.

There's still a risk
of me, you know,

collapsing due
to heat exhaustion

and lack of
everything in my body.

After 21 days,
enduring starvation,

mosquitoes, and
torrential storms,

Ky, Gabby, and Elise must
hike an eight-mile gauntlet

across the jungle and
over twisting rivers.

To reach their extraction point,

they'll need to navigate
a treacherous descent

while watching out for
venomous fer-de-lance snakes

lurking in the high grass.

This is some tall grass.

Yep.

Don't go too fast.
You'll lose me in here.

We ain't losing you, Gabby!

Be careful,

'cause fer-de-lance don't
care if it's day one or day 21.

We had rain and cold
temperatures last night,

so the snakes are
going to be out and about

sunning themselves to warm up.

And they love this grass.

Just to let you all know,

if I get bit by a
fer-de-lance here--

- Yeah.
- ...I'm still walking to extraction vehicle.

Can we carry you?

Ah, sure, but you know what?

As long as it's not a med tap.

Same.

That sun is hot.

It is something.

It is hot.

We're not really used to
these hills either, are we?

- No.
- No.

I can hear the river.

Can you?

Oh, God.

Ooh.

It's exhausting,

wondering where you have
to put your next footstep.

It is.

Whether it's a life
or death situation.

The minutes count out here.

We're all very tired.

My legs are tired.

- You got it, Elise.
- I know.

Ever since Elise fainted,

I've had in the back of my mind

that it can happen at any time.

This isn't over yet.

So it looks like we're
probably coming into it

maybe down here.

I reckon-- you can see
where the vegetation gets

- taller and thicker
and greener-- - Yeah.

- I see that.
- ...I reckon it's just there.

Ky, we're following you down.

Please watch your step.

These rocks are awful.

- This part is super slippery.
- -Yeah.

I find leaning uphill
a little bit helps.

At least you'll
have less far to fall.

Watch yourself.

Holy crap.

Keep on trucking.

Yeah.

Don't let the mosquitoes
know we're here.

To look back and think about
everything we've been through

over the last 21 days,
three weeks is a long time

when you're starving, and
you're cold, and you're wet,

and you're living moment
to moment in the bush,

it's hard to believe that
it's finally happening.

I mean, this feels
like the right place.

I hope it is.

I can hear something!

You hear that?

This is it!

Oh, girls.

We did it!

We all did.

Come here.

I'm so beyond excited

to see the extraction
vehicle pull up.

It's hard to quantify.

Yeah!

I can feel the tears
starting to pool in my eyes,

and just knowing

that I'm going to see
my family so soon.

Get in first.

Pride of place.

Do the honors.

No more walking
all over this stuff.

Foot on, girls.

Woo!

Here we go.

All right. We're done!

I've just achieved
something incredible.

I've pushed my body and
mind as hard as I could

'cause the Amazon in wet season,

probably one of the hardest
challenges you could get.

Amazing!

After surviving nearly
half the challenge alone

Ky finishes strong, shedding
18 pounds in the process.

Her survival rating
rises from 9.1

to 9.4.

So glad to have
you two out there.

- That was so good.
- Yeah.

For us, it's an
emotional moment.

And Ky and Gabby
became not only mentors,

but friends throughout
this entire process.

And for all the people
who have doubted me

and thought that
I'm just a pretty face,

I really hope that
this shows you

that you shouldn't
judge a book by its cover,

because everybody has
so many more chapters.

If you didn't think
that I could do it,

this is living proof that I can.

Elise's positive attitude

and willingness to learn helped
her complete the challenge.

Having lost 20 pounds,
her survival rating soars

from 5.2

to 7.5.

I slept in a cave
for 21 nights, naked!

-Elise, I'm in awe of you.
-Yeah.

I'm in awe that you
walked out of here

and that you have been
as strong as you have been

this whole time.

I've learned that I am
patient and calm and kind.

And even in the most
dire of circumstances,

I think I was able to
support my mentee

and keep her on the right path.

Gabby's strength

and dedication to her
mentee helped power her

through the finish.

20 pounds lighter,

her primitive survival
rating swells from 9.1 to 9.4.

I'd like to dedicate this
challenge to my dad.

He was just the
most amazing human.

And he... he'd be
so proud right now.

He loved his little girl.
