I've been hiking for miles and miles,

and it's just getting hotter and hotter.

I've been alone a long time,

and I'm ready to find new resources.

Thank God.

That's my new home.

You know, these are proving grounds out here,

and I think this is definitely gonna help me

cover that 40 miles that I need to make.

But I do want to find people at some point.

Hello?

What the hell?

What is that?

Naked people?

Oh, my God.

Knock, knock.

-Hi. -How did you come upon us?

Oh, my God.

Is it just you?

Hi. I'm alone.

As of 12 days ago, 13 days ago.

-What's your name? -Kaiela.

-I'm Shell. -Shell.

-Hi, Kaiela. I'm Malorie. -Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Who are your partners?

Andrew and Cole.

Alone in the badlands since day four...

Oh, my God. There's a caiman.

Kaiela's skill and persistence led to a big win.

Ha-ha! How's that?

Giving her the strength to seek out a new abundant water source.

After a long trek to the east,

she has arrived at the camp of Malorie and Shell,

but is still 31 miles from the day 40 extraction point.

Girl, you've been at it by yourself?

-Yeah. -Look at you.

Yeah, it's been emotional, but I made it.

How far were you from us?

If I were to guess, I'd say, like five, six miles away from you guys.

Is it just you two?

Yeah. Chris left.

After losing a partner to sudden illness,

Malorie has led the charge to bag an elusive caiman,

but maybe pushing herself beyond her limits.

Have you been, like, successful with food gathering and stuff like that?

-Yeah, I caught a caiman. -Awesome!

-And I think it was day 9 or 10 and... -Cool.

She caught a caiman, which I think is amazing.

We definitely need her on our team.

We've hooked, like, probably five or six caiman.

We keep hooking 'em, but it is just so pitch black out here.

-Yeah. -And we go down there we can't even see.

We can't even see it.

So, we have to wait till the morning.

But by the morning, they're gone.

-Oh, wow. -Yeah, it's just like that.

But they're here.

-Oh, they're totally here. -Yeah, they're here.

How many have you eaten?

-We haven't been... Yeah. -We haven't gotten any.

-Okay. -Because we haven't had a chance to actually get them.

Well, we caught quite a bit of fish.

-Okay. -Yeah. Lots of fish.

Five different species of fish here.

-Pretty easy to fish here? -Yeah.

She has passive lights going

and she's catching fish, like, left and right.

-Would you guys mind if I'm... -Come join us.

-Come join us. Absolutely, yeah. -Of course.

All ladies tribe we got going on here.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

I'm not feeling well,

and now, I've just been a bit dizzy and nauseous.

Easily gets from...

-From lack of... -From lack of eating.

But don't worry.

I'm not gonna give the tap anytime soon.

-Okay. -I'm gonna bounce back up.

Awesome.

My new partners are not doing well,

but I think that they are my kind of people.

And I'm excited to see what this place has to offer.

I'm excited for the opportunity to show up for them

and to help us all get some food on the table.

How badass would it be if, like us three chicks

just sliced the caimans and then threw the.

-Yeah. -Caiman killers.

-The caiman killers. -Yeah.

Now, let's own up to it.

We gotta own up to it.

So down.

We're gonna crush this thing.

Here's to being badass bitches.

Yeah!

How are you doing?

Today, I feel good.

I just can't wait to get my stitches removed.

It is super exciting.

I know how you must be feeling.

Just waiting on the medic.

No!

With Terra slowed by an injury since day three.

I feel like a giant burden. It just makes me angry.

Not a huge one, but bigger than what we've been eating.

Lack of food...

These probably should be thrown back or something.

There's nothing to them.

...and Terra's negativity... That's a shame.

...have tested the group's resolve.

This getting old.

Being positive is a huge survival skill.

God, I hate this place.

And they still must travel 32 miles across the proving grounds

to reach their day 40 extraction point.

I'm just ready for this to be over with.

Today, getting my stitches out.

I'm so sick and tired

of being out here and not contributing as much as I want to.

I want to do so much stuff,

but every time I go to do it, it's like, "Nope. That hurts."

"Ow! Nope. That hurts."

"I can't get this wet. I can't do this."

So, with the stitches out,

hopefully I'll really begin to shine.

Argh! Damn it!

Oh, That one hurt.

I'll try my best.

These are the proving grounds.

But for me, it's harder to prove that I belong here.

I haven't been able to showcase everything that I can do.

It's been like the road trip,

and you're stuck at a gas station with a flat tire.

You wanna shoot your bow today?

Yeah, I can get in a couple of practice shots.

Back home, I go out and hunt all the time,

but I haven't shot my bow in a few weeks,

and before just getting out there

and trying to take down an animal,

I kind of wanna make sure these haven't slipped at all.

That's kind of how I'm judging where I'm putting my arrow.

Just getting back into the swing.

A few shots, nothing major.

Well, you're in the kill shot.

It'd be nice to know that my shots are a little bit accurate

when I've got one in front of me.

Yeah, baby.

My injury doesn't hurt at all.

Hand is fine. Don't feel anything.

I can definitely tell I'm a little bit fatigued.

I'm getting the shakes when I'm shooting.

Awesome. Very nice.

Terra's definitely recovered quite a lot.

It seems that their spirits are picking back up

as they get into the rhythm of the jungle.

Four out of four, baby.

Every single one of those arrows

would kill an animal right now.

They're all in a kill shot zone.

We need more avenues for food.

We're obviously not getting a ton of fish.

We're not getting any mammals.

We need something else.

We need more calories and the more food sources we can get, the better.

So, it's high time I got to put some stuff on the table.

Some big game, small game, any game.

I want us to make it to day 40,

and damn it, I'll do anything to make sure all three of us get there.

Kudos to you, my friend. Hey!

Cool.

I think I'm gonna go see if I can go out

and do some hunting.

Can you hand me the arrows?

Hey, what's wrong with this thing?

Didn't Sam say that was brand new?

The limb is broken.

You can't use that.

Are you kidding me?

I can't move.

After 12 days in Colombia proved to be

too much for their partner, Sam... We can't tap.

I didn't plan on it.

The duo of Heather and Adam

remained 34 miles from the extraction point.

Parasites.

But an unexpected discovery could threaten

their most reliable source of protein.

If every fish has parasites,

they could be extremely problematic.

Yeah. That's done.

It has to be moisture or something.

There's no other reason why it should break.

But I guess that's the Colombian bloody weather here.

Little bloody, wrecks not just people, it wrecks gear as well.

I have a lot of experience with bows,

and I can tell you that's completely gone.

It's dead.

We're not gonna be bow hunting.

That could provide us some big wins.

For that to be broken, is absolutely devastating.

Fish, it is.

-Yep. Fish, it is. -Good luck.

Yesterday afternoon, Heather went out and caught a fish.

Unfortunately, one was full of parasites.

Moving forward, I'm definitely gonna be more cautious.

But, you know, we're in a survival situation, and we need food.

So, I guess we're just gonna have to check the fish and keep rolling forward.

That's what I'm talking about.

I think I'm gonna call it a day here.

It's time to start heading back.

I think now, Sam's gone, Heather and I,

our team bond is getting stronger and stronger

'cause we're all we've got now, and we both want this.

We want to get to the end, so we can get things done.

-I'm back. -How'd you do?

I got six.

Boy, we could sure use that right now.

Oh, yeah. Now it's time to do the parasite check.

-Fingers crossed. -I'm hungry.

Yeah, me too.

Damn it.

See, all the parasites are running along here.

I guess everyone worries about the big things out here that can take you out, like,

you know, caiman and anacondas.

But everyone forgets the parasites.

Like, that's actually probably the thing that would

take you out of here before something big.

So, it looks like there's not going to be any fish tonight.

Are you kidding?

Yeah, we definitely need a bigger food source.

You know, we need to go back to a caiman.

I couldn't agree more.

Yeah, I think a caiman is what we need.

I'm feeling good. It feels good to get out

and not just be like sitting in the shelter,

wishing a sandwich would pop up.

Two of 'em went in there and disappeared.

Son of a bitch.

Oh, my God.

Let's sneak over that way without making any noise.

I've got to be smart about this.

I'm going to attempt to take a shot.

Oh, my God.

I'm going to attempt to take a shot.

Damn.

I missed him by, like, one inch above him.

I mean, it went right above his head.

Yeah, you bitch!

I am very heartbroken to have lost that bird.

If you don't place that perfect shot,

hitting these little birds is hard.

But at the same time, we need to eat something

or we're not gonna make another 27 days.

And I'd love to get a big kill out here.

But I haven't seen sign of anything.

I didn't see any tracks.

Every time I go over mud, there's nothing.

I don't think game comes on these trails too often.

But it feels good to know that I'm pretty confident

that I'm ready to kill an animal.

That caiman line that I set with Sam?

-Yep. -It has not yielded anything.

-You know what I mean? -Yeah.

I got a present for you.

So, I think that this is a great opportunity to use that parasitic fish

and see if we can actually get a caiman right here,

-versus having to take that two mile hike. -Yeah.

And we're also just not wasting fish.

Then, you know, like, even though it's full of parasites,

we get to reuse it.

Yeah.

The amount of effort we're putting into food here,

but you can't eat most of what you catch

'cause it's full of parasites.

It's just really a kick in the guts.

If you're happy to watch the fire,

I might just go set the caiman bait.

-I'm on it. -All right. You're up.

All right. I'm gonna go do that.

All right. Be careful.

Getting a caiman here, so close to camp.

That would be absolutely huge for us.

We can just have food right at our doorstep.

It would be a game changer.

Just gonna move the hook up a little bit, so it's a little bit easier.

It's a bit more exposed, so hopefully,

there's a better chance of jagging something

put my bait.

I'm going to lift it up out of the water, a little bit higher.

I'm hoping that, like, it'll entice a caiman to grab it and pull it.

And that might even help set the hook. So...

I hope it works. I've got nothing to lose.

I'm hoping that this might be the thing that changes

catching a caiman for us, 'cause we need food so bad right now.

So, I've got all my fingers and toes crossed on this one.

We might be able to see some of the caiman tracks.

Let's see.

-See those little caiman tracks from last night? -Yep.

-It's a little tail line. -Yeah.

So, I had that fish basket.

It's been coming in handy.

Oh, yeah. You've been using your fish basket?

-Yeah, like that one. -Does it work?

Now, I think there is a little fish in there.

There's our bait, you guys.

Oh, yeah.

That serves as a good bait source.

Awesome.

I've to check the passive lines.

Whatever it was, broke the hook.

-Oh! -What?

You know what? I bet you. I bet there was

-a fish around here... -There was something on the line.

-And a caiman got it. -...and a caiman got it.

And it broke the hook.

-That's crazy. -Yeah.

We're getting closer and closer to capturing this caiman.

It just feels like it's so close yet so far.

And now, there's three of us.

We really need this caiman.

We really need that meat.

And that little fish, I do need to cut

and I'll throw a piece around here.

-Okay. With this? -She has a knife. Yeah.

Just cut off a little piece and throw it on here for bait.

And the heads look good.

Are you feeling okay, Mal?

Make sure you don't overdo it out here.

Mal is a little beat down and is struggling physically.

But I can see in her eyes that her spirit is here

and she wants to keep going.

And I'm really impressed with what she's doing.

I'm gonna walk down a bit and just kind of check...

-Check things out. -Yeah. Okay.

And yeah, I'll be back here in a few.

The one thing I really love about this environment

is the fact that it is open.

It gets a little claustrophobic sometimes

in the canopy of the jungle,

and I wanted to kind of explore this area

and get my... Kind of my footing here and see what I'm working with.

Berries!

There are berries.

There are moriche fruits, and they're not in abundance.

This moriche is not quite ripe yet, but...

I don't really care. It still tastes good to me.

So, we're definitely gonna have to be sparing with them.

But they are here.

We just have to work a little harder to get them.

They're not just gonna fall out of the sky every day

and give you 65 nispero on a golden platter.

But overall, it's been a fantastic day.

I couldn't be happier.

This is definitely the reset I needed.

This place rules.

This is the last of my fibers I hadn't braided.

I'm braiding them into a thin line

and see if I can make a paiute trap trigger.

See if I can catch a rat or something.

Lynsey offered to let me use her 65 pound braid

to make a simple paiute deadfall baited trap.

I think baited traps would work the best here.

So, if you can find a heavily used animal path,

baited traps work.

The paiute deadfall trap

uses the weight of a heavy stone

propped up by sticks, that form a basic lever and trigger system.

When an animal applies pressure to the bait stick,

it releases the trigger and leverage bar,

causing the stone to fall and trap the animal.

Right now, I'm just setting up the deadfall.

Trigger is very delicate. So, I'm just putting a little safety stick here.

Just until I... get ready to put the bait stick in.

But the bait stick has to be measured just right.

The hunger factor is definitely starting to wear on me as well.

Because I have low body fat.

And I'm a calculating person.

Calculating how many calories I was taking in everyday versus expending.

The calculations are quite simple here.

If we continue at this pace, I cannot make it to the end.

So, something's got to change

or everyone's just gonna start dropping like flies.

Hmm. It's got scratch marks in there.

There's an animal in there.

I'm setting a trap right there.

I've watched this burrow once or twice as we're walking past

but I noticed today, the burrow's scratched around

and there's fresh dirt all kicked out of this burrow.

I'm hoping that it's an armadillo.

That would be ideal if it was a large armadillo.

I mean, either way, I know that there is something living in this burrow.

And I'm going to catch it.

I'm tired, I'm hungry,

I hate this place. It sucks.

It's hard to find food,

the sun doesn't even shine, and if it does shine,

you get little, tiny, itty bitty pieces of it.

And I just feel like all of these little things that I've been fighting off,

are coming to head right now.

This team absolutely needs this meal.

If I could provide that large amount of protein,

I'd feel so so good.

Like I would feel on top of the world

if I could provide my team with this meal.

It is raining its butt off like it is bucketing down.

I think the Badlands is like an understatement

for how to describe this place.

No more sleeping now.

I'm wondering what's gonna happen with the shelter.

We'll see.

This is the river we have flowing through our shelter right now.

Look at this lake that we're living in right now.

That is a lake behind Nathan.

Yup.

This is standing water that all of our feet are sitting in right now.

We have our fire on the only little mound, tall spot, in the shelter.

You, Colombia.

Last night was the worst night that we've had so far.

Eventually, we ran out of firewood,

and then it got pretty cold and I got really cold.

Last night was brutal,

I didn't get any sleep.

I tried.

It stormed.

It was insane how much water we had coming through this shelter.

It was literally like a river.

We got our asses handed to us.

My God, that's a caterpillar.

We need to get that out of here.

-Where? -Right there.

I don't wanna get taken out by that guy.

There are 26 different species of Lonomia caterpillars

found in South America.

Their stinging bristles contain a powerful toxin

that can cause painful swelling, nausea

and, in some species, internal bleeding.

So that caterpillar is able to inject you with its venom,

and if you get a big enough dose of it, it's lethal.

Not something to around with.

Yeah.

-Is he dead? -He's curled in a ball.

Yeah, he's dead.

I'm pretty sure.

We just killed a caterpillar right inside the shelter.

Uh-oh.

I hate this place.

The caiman came up, ate the bait, but never got hooked on.

And just like that, now we don't have bait.

I'm going to have to change up my strategy

to get this caiman.

One of the missions today

is to make sure we get enough bait for the caiman.

Yeah, I might try and do a little bit of active fishing

just a little bit further down and see.

Hopefully, we'll get some bait for the caiman tonight.

Yeah, I have no doubt you're gonna catch something.

Mal's got her fishing kit.

I have mine. We've got double the lines now.

We just got to catch some bait and I guarantee

within the next day or two, we are gonna be eating caiman.

Putting our lines out tonight.

Maybe once the sun starts to set,

try and stay pretty quiet,

kind of let them feel comfortable and wait.

I've never wanted anything

worse than to catch another caiman

and to make another batch of jerky.

And honestly, this time I'm excited to share it with people.

But it does require some work to get the bait.

If you see right here on this side,

there's a little cove right here.

Yeah.

Okay.

It went under!

-Got one! -Yeah.

-Yeah, yeah, nice! -A little tilapia.

There you go.

We got some, babe.

Congratulations on your first fish here.

Hopefully, first of many.

Kaiela definitely brings a different energy.

It changes the total energy of our group.

I definitely see a change, not just in myself, but in Mal.

Her health It has been a huge concern,

and she seems to kind of perk up

and be excited to have another third person here.

So I'm going to try and catch like three or four of those,

and we can just use those as bait.

Yeah. I definitely wanted to be here for your first in this area.

-I'm glad. -I'm glad you guys are here. You guys are good juju.

We're your cheerleaders here.

Yes.

Go Kaiela, go.

We're going to check the caiman line and hopefully, we'll get something.

Let's see what happens this morning.

I'm interested to see

what all this rain has done

to the trail that we're taking.

Yeah, because this little track here is getting pretty muddy already.

Yeah.

The bait is all gone on my caiman line.

-Is it really? -Yeah.

Yeah. Bait's been flogged.

Wow.

No caiman here.

This sucks. We can't catch a break here. Honestly.

Not today.

No dice. No caiman today.

My God!

There's a snake.

What's happening?

There's a snake.

Thinking this could be really good protein

for our team that we desperately need.

See him on the branch, he goes all the way out.

Oh yeah.

All right. I'll see if I can make something happen here.

Okay.

I'm amazed to have this spot of the snake.

It was so camouflaged in the tree, you could barely see it.

Can you get two steps up more on that limb?

Yeah, if going down, I'm happy Heather's there and she's got your back.

He's agitated now, but he hasn't really got anywhere else to go.

It's in a tree and it's above us.

I can't identify exactly what that snake is,

so we are going into it blind, that can be dangerous.

You've got to realize

Columbia's got some of the most venomous snakes in the world.

He's coming back down now.

-I'll come down, I'll be ready to do something. -Okay.

Honestly, I'm thinking like he's just going to keep jumping from tree to tree.

It might not be worth it.

Wasting our time.

Yeah, because the thing is,

he can just, like, keep jumping along and along,

like we could spend... - Yeah, he's like a little monkey at this point.

Okay, well, we tried, that would have been a really, really good meal.

Really, good, needed meal.

See you later, snake. It's your lucky day, mate.

You know, we're trying pretty hard to get some food in the belly,

but we're gonna have to make a new plan.

Setting the lines here hasn't prevailed just yet.

So it's like, maybe we need to go to the spot where

-we first found a caiman. -Yeah.

You know, we know there's a contained body of water.

We know there's caiman in there.

-Quick, quick, quick. -Where is he?

Yeah, it's a bloody big hike, So just gotta be careful.

Yeah, it's a huge hike.

This hurts.

This is slicing my toes in every freaking step.

This is kicking my ass, for sure.

We're a lot weaker than we were the first time as well

so I think it is better to head out earlier and

you know, and try to really do it smart.

It's definitely the best bet at this stage to make something happen

-is to go back there. -Yeah.

It's a huge risk. But it's worth it.

Just to get that protein.

Keep kicking this challenge's butt.

Time to get a caiman.

We are going to check our traps and see if we got anything.

Yeah, there's my trap right there.

It's still standing.

It looks like. Let's see, it's been moved.

It was... the circle was more...

It was moved up like this and I had it moved down,

and I don't think, the wind's not going to move it up.

Reset and try again.

Because everything when it comes out, it's gonna come out down.

I've got a picture of its head here coming out.

Yeah, that looks like maybe it's at a footprint.

I can't tell.

It looks maybe like a print.

Okay, I'm gotta get of here so my scents not all around it..

Part of survival is trying to make the best of the situation that you're in.

That's kind of my motivation that's pushing me forward.

I don't even know if it's worth it to keep it there.

Maybe, I guess, maybe something stayed hunkered in.

Maybe something new will go in.

Maybe.

Let's go check out your trap.

Nope.

Nothing?

It's reset.

So our plan for today, you guys, I think we'll try to find

some bigger sources of protein and some more food.

I also said we'd go up to the north.

It might be good, you look for armadillos

or more eggs or anything up there.

Good idea.

I think, even in our immediate area,

within an eighth of a mile or less,

there's probably dozens, if not hundreds

of food sources that we are not aware of.

So we're going to take an expedition

to an area that we haven't visited before.

Let's see what we can find.

There's some meager berries up here.

Nice. They remind me of elderberries.

We find a large bunch of blackish blueberries, and I tasted one.

To me, it tasted like licorice.

Even though they're very small berries, those berries will give us

vital nutrients and minerals that we're not otherwise getting.

Hey, look.

And right now they're the only thing that we're eating.

And I'm hoping that eating more berries is giving more calories to me.

Help me to conserve what a little body fat that I still have.

I cannot survive off of berries.

No.

I'm so over starving on challenges.

I am at my wit's end with this.

I'm over wasting time going up a hill

to get a couple of berries that give me four calories for the 300 I just spent

going up the hill.

What do you want to do?

Mm hmm.

Until we move, that's all we're going to be surviving off of.

Berries and whatever tiny fish can be caught in the net.

This place is totally different than what I thought it was gonna be.

-Yeah. -I honestly didn't think food was gonna be an issue.

I figured there would have been an abundance of it.

What's up?

What the hell just got me?

Something just got me good.

But I don't see any ants.

I don't know what it was.

Lindsay. You okay?

Caterpillar! Right there.

-What type of caterpillar? -The bad kind.

Where's the caterpillar?

-Whole leg's going numb. -You need a medic.

You, caterpillar.

Well, you need a medic.

-You can see, straight down there. -Yeah.

Want me to carry you back?

No, I can walk back.

I can just feel my legs starting to go numb.

You could just see it.

It's getting... It's all blistered.

It's a little scary.

Need a medic, right now.

Right now.

The toxins of the most venomous

Lonomia caterpillars move quickly through the bloodstream.

Causing painful swelling.

If enough venom penetrates the skin, it can lead to shortness of breath,

vomiting and internal hemorrhaging.

I don't want to be taken out of this challenge.

It's important for me to make it the full 40,

but I'm going to be so pissed if my body shuts out before my brain does.

Got stung by a caterpillar on my leg.

Yeah, it hurts.

Where I touched it, you can see, it's all welted up.

We don't know how many spines got her.

We don't know how much toxin was put into her system.

We don't know what's going on with this,

and we want to make sure that she's going to be okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Based on the relatively mild reaction to Lynsey's skin,

the medic determines that she has,

fortunately, been stung by one of the less venomous species

of lonomia caterpillars.

Okay. Okay.

The pain and swelling should subside naturally.

Within three-four hours.

The medic does assure me that it is a stinging caterpillar,

but it's not something that's gonna take me out of this challenge,

and it's not something that's fatal to me.

So that was a huge relief.

I hate this place!

-Sun's out buns out. -Sun's out, buns out, baby.

Hot point in the day.

Yeah, for sure.

So Kaiela caught a fish.

We're gonna use that for bait.

I go down and set my caiman line

and I do things a little different.

I move the location of my line.

I change out to a smaller hook.

It becomes a smaller hook.

Maybe easier for the caimans to swallow the bait.

Hell, yeah. Ladies, we've got good caiman bait for tonight.

-Yes, we do. -Yeah, we do.

We're getting them tonight.

Sounds like a plan, ladies.

I hate this place.

We need to get out of here.

This isn't a 21-day challenge.

We have more than half of our time to go.

We can't survive off of little tiny, minuscule bites of food.

We will not survive.

We need to move.

We need to leave this jungle, and we need to find and secure protein elsewhere.

I feel like our resources are dwindling here,

and we've used them all.

-It's time to go. -We've got no fruit.

We've got, the water is low, we've got nothing left.

Firewood's low.

Yep, firewood's low.

I feel like you're healed enough.

I feel like it's time for us to go.

We need to make 40 miles in 40 days,

and we have 30 miles left to go.

And so we need to get moving.

But we need to have a game plan.

We can't just pack up and leave and not have a game plan.

-Do you get the map? -Yeah, let's not...

Yeah, I got it right here. Let's mark out our path.

Kind of figure out where we're going to go here.

Currently located 32 miles from their extraction point.

The largest body of water is 15 miles away.

Fifteen mile. Y'all really feel like you can do 15 miles right now?

-I honestly don't know. -Across that terrain?

Probably not.

By targeting a smaller waterhole to the southeast,

the survivalists shorten their trek to six miles

but will remain 28 miles from the day-40 extraction point.

And I think this lake is going to be good for us.

But getting from here to here is gonna be a pain in the ass.

Due to the way the water is situated in this region,

we can't hike it directly towards the extraction point.

We need to head south.

And then east to hit another good water source.

And kinda hop from one water source to the next,

which means that it's going to be a longer route.

But it's something that we have to do.

What would y'all think about taking off, not tomorrow,

but the day after?

Yeah.

Tomorrow, I think we just hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, rest.

-Firewood. -Firewood.

And then have a pot cooled and ready to go

-by the time that we're ready to leave out of here. -Yup.

Sounds like a plan.

This hike is going to be treacherous.

I'm always worried about overheating,

especially on this journey that we've got to take.

I mean, there's a lot of things that can happen on this hike

that can really take one of us out easily.

What do you think? Sun up?

Yeah. Avoid that noonday sun at all costs.

You saw what... that almost did you in last time.

-I'm so excited to get outta here. -Yeah. Me too.

-Are you freezing, dude? -Yeah.

Freezing.

Long night. Pretty chilly.

I am the thinnest one of the group with the least body fat.

And so I lose heat a lot quicker at night.

Unless we're directly next to the fire at night,

it actually gets pretty chilly here.

You're going to lose a lot of body fat,

just trying to stay warm at night.

-We have a caiman on. -And we're about to go get his ass.

-Yeah, we are. He's been thrashing all night long. -Caiman killers on the loose.

And our bellies have been grumbling all night long

thinking about catching this.

We're coming for you, Mr. Caiman.

Beautiful morning to kill a caiman.

Yeah, it's over there. That's what it is.

We heard it up in here.

Yeah.

Yeah, I see him.

Dude, try to get him up. Try to get him up.

Dude, the line's tight. I don't want it to pop.

I'm gonna poke him with this and see.

-Okay, I'll try to... -If I can get him to move.

-There he goes, yeah. -Coming towards you.

Holy.

Hold him!

-Go, go, go, go! -Don't let him go.

I'm gonna poke him with this and see.

-Okay, I'll try to... -If I can get him to move.

-There goes, yeah. -Coming towards you.

Holy. Hold him!

Go, go, go.

Don't let him go.

She got him.

Bring it. Bring it.

-I feel him. -Dude, try to get him up.

She's got his tail.

Lasso the tail?

Lasso the tail and get around his legs.

-I got it, I got it. -I only got one leg.

-Quickly. -Come on, come on.

Just pull. Just pull. Hurry.

Yes, yes!

That is awesome.

My God! My God!

I'm sorry, buddy. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Yes, we appreciate it.

Yeah. Yeah. Here we go. Good.

This caiman is about 3.5 feet long.

Perfect size for a great dinner.

Caiman's what's on the menu tonight!

You mean today? Because I ain't waiting till tonight to eat it.

That's a good like method.

We should do that again. We, like, grab the tail and we, like, lasso it that way.

Yeah, because that's extra points on it.

Yeah.

We can't stop smiling.

We're so happy.

We know we're going to eat good,

but we know that this is what we've been waiting for.

We knew we were capable of doing it.

Look at all that meat, man.

It's so good.

Caiman killers.

Super. I don't see any worms.

Thank God.

I'm really glad that it happened this morning and not last night,

because it's a lot easier to process

a caiman when you can see.

Did you give yourself a high-five?

I'll take one.

My God!

So we're up early today doing some final preparations,

getting ready to go on a caiman hunt today.

I'm feeling pretty primed and ready for today.

-Yeah. -Really keen for food and a big win.

I know that we've had success in the enclosed pond.

It's a little hike away, but it's definitely worth the journey.

Adam's getting ready. Putting on his war paint.

Yeah.

Might as well look the part.

If we're gonna go on a big hunt, I think we're ready.

Let's go kill it. Like, pun intended.

Yeah.

I think we're going to need water.

I don't know. We did it last time without.

Well, I'd rather not carry it if I don't have to,

because it's a little cumbersome.

We should put it on the fire now, so at least it's boiling.

-Ready? -Hmm-hmm.

-All right, let's go. -Let's go!

To return to the caiman pond, Heather and Adam must head east

through thick, marshy grassland

exposed to the brutal Colombian sun.

To the edge of a jungle over a mile and a half away.

Hello, saw-grass. We meet again.

Ow, ow.

It hurts.

I can definitely feel my energy levels are different from the last time we came.

Yeah, I definitely haven't got the pep in my step that I did last time.

Right. Same. Same.

Just go slow.

No reason to be in a rush.

I think we should cut off what we want to eat right now.

-Tail. -Yeah, tail.

Right now, I'm making peat for our smoker.

And we are gonna smoke the meat in here.

Whatever we don't eat right now,

and we are also going to take some

and fill a pot with water and boil it and make ourselves some soup.

And we're going to put some over the spit.

So we're going to have a little trifecta and a little powwow in here all day.

We got the tail, mami.

Mal and I have been trying for this for a while,

so it's good to finally be successful.

Good job on cutting this up.

We're definitely an amazing female trio,

so it doesn't surprise me that you know, it's the three of us

and all of our male partners, both of hers and one of ours already tapped.

You know, and they tapped fairly early on.

But I'm happy Kaiela's here and with three people here as opposed to two,

it just is a totally different game.

So for me, I feel a sense of hope.

And I think hope is something we've been lacking severely out here.

It smells good already.

-Hmm-hmm. -We can smell it.

We can almost taste it.

We're excited.

We're about to eat this caiman that we've been working for,

that we've worked so hard for and it's gonna taste great.

We know it.

It's definitely a process, but it's worth it.

The last few good pieces of hardwood that we have left,

I'm just going to try to chop through this

and get back to the camp because every night

is an absolute struggle to maintain fire,

and without that second fire, I get cold very quickly.

The main thing I'm thinking about is getting a good night's sleep.

If I don't sleep well at night,

I am not going to do well on the hike at all tomorrow.

This is essential to get a good night's sleep.

Is he chopping that tree?

-No. -You know what?

I wish Nate would stop overworking.

He's chopping the out of that tree,

and we can find firewood other ways.

I'm worried enough about us all in this hike,

I don't want him to keep over asserting himself.

That's all he wants to do is just keep going and going and going and going.

I know he has it in him, but at the same time, I'm like,

wait until one time, you don't have it in you.

Nate, are you chopping on that log?

Yep.

Dude, we can get firewood other ways.

Yeah, but this is a really... - Don't overdo it.

I'm not... It's the last thing I'm doing for today.

Gonna get this big piece and drag it on back.

And then what do we do with it?

Chop it again and again and again and again and use all our energy to chop?

We have to.

No, we don't.

I'm cold all night. That it's going to use

ten times more energy than chopping this log.

You do whatever you want, man.

I don't want to push you or or irritate you.

I just worried about you.

I don't like chopping firewood either,

but I don't see how much choice we have.

I'm not gonna use that much energy to chop it down.

The energy is negligible going into cutting this,

using a lot less energy than it was trying to maintain that fire all night.

-He's chopping the big, huge giant branch. -Is he?

I tried to talk him out of it, but he's not hearing it.

I don't understand.

It's one night.

We're not banking firewood for the week.

He's not listening.

Nate's set in his ways.

I'm worried about tomorrow, and we need to conserve all of our energy,

and he's blowing it all out on the log.

Stupid.

Pull, pull.

Thanks.

Nathan is always get up and go, go, go, go, go!

He's like a little mouse. Go, go, go, go, go!

And the problem is he came into this challenge with not enough fat on his body.

I am worried that he's down to, like, almost nothing for fat

and we're not even close to halfway done with this challenge yet.

But we're a team.

And when I was injured, Nathan was really just picking up my slack.

So now I want to repay some of the kindness that he has given to me.

Doing what we're doing at this moment is so important for team building itself.

So we're all doing this then, huh?

Okay.

Do what?

I said, we're all just on board doing this, then okay.

Well, I mean, it's already here.

Yeah, I'm just gonna go on the record and say this

because I got to get it off my chest because it's boiling at me

this is very foolish.

Nathan, whether he has Asperger's or not, this isn't smart.

Not only did you make that decision for yourself

to burn calories,

you've made that decision for me and Terra to do that too.

Like we didn't have that decision to say no

because you're our teammate and we wanted to help you.

I wasn't gonna let Terra sit there

and do it by himself, even though I thought it was

I didn't want to do it the whole entire time,

I wasn't gonna let Terra do all the work

because I know Terra would have.

I'm frustrated because I feel like

he took our choice away by doing that.

And I feel like this is not a very smart survival decision.

We can break it.

Stand it up. Cool.

Let's be done chopping for a little while.

-I am. -Yep.

I wouldn't say it's tense.

It's just normal when you have a group of people working together,

they don't always agree on things.

But, spending five minutes chopping firewood,

is gonna save me from seven hours of freezing all night.

So, I knew what I had to do and I just kept going about it

without arguing too much.

It'd be nice to get out of this direct sunlight.

-Yeah, it's getting hot, isn't it? -Yeah.

I think we're pretty close now.

Oh, that's good.

-Here we are. -Yeah.

I see water.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, you can see where the water's disturbed.

Like they're obviously here somewhere.

There's fresh tracks and there's a fresh slide.

And you can see the murky water where a caiman has just recently

slid straight into the water.

If I had my goggles, I'd just swim down and look for one.

Yeah.

The water clarity is not as great this time.

My strategy is to really let the environment decide what I need to do.

In this location, we gotta walk through water

and try to spot and stalk another caiman.

The water's really murky,

and that's gonna make it an absolute challenge to spot anything.

I'm looking for signs of activity here.

Like, some bubble action.

There's another little waterhole up the back here, Heather.

Okay, I'm coming.

It's not looking good.

There's probably some like...

-not that far in the water and we just can't see 'em. -Yeah.

-Environment dictates the strategy. -Uh-huh.

I mean, it's not all lost just yet.

Okay.

Did you bring your fishing pole?

Yeah. Hmm.

Well, I got a tree

I'm not really seeing a lot on this side here with the depths.

Are you getting any bites?

No. Nothing.

Okay. Do you want to go over to the other side?

Yeah, I was thinking that.

Okay.

That sucks. You know, I was like really...

-Looking forward to caiman? Me too. -Caiman. Yeah.

-Caiman killers. -The caiman killers?

-Yeah. -This is a game changer, guys.

-Yeah, it is. -Yeah, it is.

Oh!

Oh!

Okay.

-Oh, yeah! -Yeah.

-Here you go, Mal. -Mmm.

So good.

Mmm. Nice tower.

Mmm.

It tastes pretty good.

Nice and meaty. Nice white clean meat.

Without worms.

Well worth it.

Sorry, I just saw that and I had to...

No, get it. Get after it, girl.

Really amazing day today.

We've been eating good.

Ooh!

So good.

I'm really happy that there was that

substantial amount of meat on his body for us to enjoy.

It does taste like croc, by the way, guys.

Mmm-hmm.

This is way better than any fish.

This is phenomenal.

And it feels so good to finally literally,

just have a mouthful of boneless, juicy protein

that you can just enjoy and savor.

And the flavor is awesome.

And I feel a thousand times better than I did two minutes ago.

Yummy.

We have protein in our bellies.

And things are on the up and up for all of us.

We won. We felt defeated every day by the badlands.

Defeated with everything.

-But today we win. -Mmm-hmm.

Today, we defeated the badlands.

I have been pretty sick for a couple of days.

That's when, um, Kaiela arrives and saves the day.

Yeah.

-You guys saved my day. -And we're like, "Who is this person?"

And you brought up our spirits

and you freaking keep us going.

Like, your energy keeps us going.

We're here to lift each other up

and to continue pushing each other to get to the finish line together.

Three women who came together out here slaying caiman.

Oh, yeah.

The universe brought us together for a reason.

It sure did.

Very thankful for all of you.

Thankful for you.

Are you seeing any activity with fish?

No, not yet.

I'm not even seeing fish, to be honest with you.

How are you feeling?

-I'm starting to get... need water. -All right.

And looking at the sun, by the time we get back,

like we're gonna be super depleted.

I think we call it a day.

Head back, get some water, rest up.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Yeah, that sucks, but that's hunting.

This was a really hard call for us to make.

And coming back empty handed, it's difficult.

However, you can't win a bet if you don't gamble.

You can't win a tournament if you don't finish it.

And you're not gonna come back with big wins

if you don't go out there and take the risk.

This is unfortunate.

That sun has got some bite to it now.

Most definitely.

It's definitely getting hotter.

It's direct sunlight.

Yeah, I can feel that.

Yeah.

It's kind of deflating, isn't it?

This hike is so much harder than the first one.

Heather's starting to look dehydrated. I'm feeling it too.

-Definitely not the most ideal time of day to be, uh... -No, it's not.

It's sweltering.

Here comes the sawgrass.

This is the nasty section.

Oh. You all right?

I hate this.

The sun is really beating down.

Our bodies are so depleted right now,

compared to last time.

One mile feels like ten.

I need some water.

I need some cold water.

Oh. I hear home.

I love the sound of the waterfall.

I need some cold water.

I just want out of the sun, I want to lay down.

I think my eyes are crossing.

I'll quickly go cool the water down 'cause it's gonna be too hot.

I just need...

Ooh! That is hot.

I'm cooling down a pot of water.

This is so important we get water,

'cause we gotta keep Heather in the game.

I'm really, really nauseous.

I don't know why I'm so sick.

We both need to hydrate.

It's been a long day in the sun.

Son of a bitch.

Oh Heather.

It'll do.

Just wanna lay down.

I don't have time for this right now.

How are you feeling, mate?

I feel like I've had better days, man.

I just need some sleep.

Some water and then tomorrow will be a new day.

It's been a big day and we're gonna need to get some water back in now.

I appreciate you, I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you.

It's all good. Just get hydrated.

Yeah.

Well, Heather's hit it pretty hard, you know.

Like, it's come out of nowhere.

I'm just gonna make sure she's all right.

Keep an eye on her and try to keep making sure she has water.

You feel like some more water, Heather?

Do you feel like some water, Heather?

Heather?

Heather?

Heather?

Heather?

Blood hell.

Heather?

Heather?

Heather?

Heather?

Bloody hell.

Can I get a medic?

You need more water, mate.

-Huh? -You need to have more water.

Okay.

I am bloody concerned.

I don't want to lose any more team members.

It would suck for her to tap out right now or be medically tapped.

The medic's here for you, Heather.

How do you feel?

I don't feel so good.

No, I'm just tired. Just really tired.

Yeah, I'm nauseous. I don't feel good.

Yeah, I've got water here.

But we haven't had much water today.

Okay, for now, I recommend you drink water

and...

Watering your head especially and whole of your body.

Okay?

Okay.

Heather's symptoms are consistent

with dehydration and heat exhaustion.

With rest and rehydration,

she should be able to avoid more serious complications,

such as delirium and seizures.

I'm concerned. I'm really concerned for her right now.

We've got so far to go in this challenge,

and, um, there's only two of us at this stage.

Once we're done here, then I'll get another pot boiling.

I'll make sure she's hydrated and, you know,

just keep an eye on her and make sure she's okay.

It's the Proving Grounds they say.

At this point, you know, I'm just trying to prove I can stay alive.

It's really that rough.

This is the evening of day 17.

Solved the cold issue.

Got a second fire going in between the two.

Bugs.

I made firewood, ready to go.

So hopefully, this will keep us warm.

Yeah, but we had to burn so many calories to do it.

Our last day at campo mosquito.

And it's on to a new place.

Hopefully it'll be enjoyable once we start getting

some decent food in our bellies.

And we will, one way or the other.

Even if we have to resort to cannibalism.

-Um, yeah. -Go caveman.

Yeah!

Anyway, that's all for now.

Looking forward to a new adventure starting tomorrow.

Have you?

So...

I'm feeling absolutely broken and beaten.

My body's absolutely spent.

Who knows what's going on?

This sucks.

It's like I feel my head feels like concrete, my body feels like concrete.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

What's going on, body? What are you doing?

Colombia, what have you done to me?

I'm ready to take off. I'm ready to get out of here.

And, uh, the sun's not getting any lower.

Not yet.

No. We need to go before it gets too hot.

I'd like to be out there before the UV kicks our ass.

So we've got just about a half a pot to bring with us.

Full pot would be ideal, but that's really heavy.

That heavy as it is.

So a half a pot hopefully, will get us through our trek.

We'll be swapping out the pot as we're going

so that nobody's carrying everything for the whole way.

Our fires are out.

Make sure we don't forget anything. Do we have the fire starter?

-I got the fire starter in my bag. -Yep.

-Uh, who's got the water? -I got the water.

-I got the water. I got it. -Ready?

-Yep. -Let's go.

Currently 32 miles from the day 40 extraction point,

the team faces a difficult trek southeast

through six miles of exposed grasslands

to reach a small system of creeks.

Onward and upward.

Last night we kept the fire going

and we stayed somewhat warm and I'm thankful for that.

I'm just worried about us getting to our next location and being so depleted.

We have to cut through the grasslands.

We'll get into any shade we can find when we need it.

This hike is gonna be treacherous.

It's gonna suck. But I'm ready to leave this spot.

We're going into uncharted territory. Are you guys ready for this?

We got a long ways to go.

I just need to get out of here. I need to reset.

I'm ready to go.

And yeah, I'm willing to risk everything to do it.

We made it through the night.

It was awful.

And I'm actually feeling nauseous this morning.

I feel disoriented.

I am dizzy and I'm super tired.

I feel like I weight ten tons.

I'm not sure if it's exhaustion or you know, what's going on,

but I'm zapped for energy.

I've got my fingers crossed that... Yeah, it's, you know,

it's not gonna be a big issue. But anyway, we'll just wait and see.

But yeah, I'm feeling like, uh, dog

as we'd say in Australia.

Just get some sleep.

Goddamn it.

Well, this is a lot more grueling than I thought it was gonna be.

Very little shade.

It's a difficult trek for a couple of reasons.

One, we're very near the equator.

And so the the sun hits at a much stronger angle than it does further up north.

We're also in the open. There's very little shade.

You see, there's little patches of trees here and there.

Big, wide open savanna with tall grass.

Yeah, there's probably snakes in here.

Uh... be careful.

Oh, hell.

It's hard to breathe.

-I am so sorry, guys. -It's okay.

It's desperately hot out here.

-I'm literally never this weak. -I know.

It's just every few steps, I feel like I'm gonna fall over.

But I'm stronger than this.

Let's go, guys.

Go over a couple of minutes, find a shade tree.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Really, really worried about Terra.

It's hot out here and Terra's taking it really, really rough.

I don't know if I'm gonna make it.

Completely depleted.

I just don't know if I can physically do anymore.

This could be the end. I don't know, man. I'm so done.

Right now, I just feel the effects of the heat and dehydration

and no food.

-I don't want to tap. -I know you don't.

I just don't want this to be like a critical med tap

and I have to be rushed to the hospital or some

I don't want it to either.

I don't want your body to shut down.

-I don't want to tap. -I know you don't.

I just don't want this to be like a critical med tap

and I have to be rushed to the hospital or some

I don't want it to either.

I don't want your body to shut down.

It's hot out here.

Really, really hot.

And Terra's taking it really, really rough.

I'm worried about my friend.

Terra, you need more?

-At the next stop, yeah. -Okay.

I just gotta make it to camp.

Got to make it to base camp.

-You're ready? -Yup.

-Let's push. -Whenever you are.

We need to continue.

Yep.

I'm gonna suck it up and I'm gonna keep working hard.

That's all I can do.

Let me carry that.

Caiman jerky is on point. It's amazing.

We have decided that from now on,

whatever caiman we catch,

we are smoking 90% of that meat.

Because it's that good.

Mmm-hmm.

You know, our stomachs are satisfied.

We had a great meal last night.

We ate the caiman and I'm feeling good,

I'm feeling strong, I'm feeling healthy.

Looks like some delicious barbecue.

We've got our smoker meat right here.

It's, uh, getting nice and smoky.

That's gonna be on there for about 24 hours, I'd say.

And then we're gonna savor it.

And then we got here our caiman tail.

Looking delicious.

Delicious.

It had some jelly rolls in there

that were, uh, way too juicy to cook all at once.

So we got those deli rolls right here separately.

-And those are just about ready. -Hmm.

-Mmm. -Smells amazing.

Then, if you come over here and look at this.

We've got a caiman carcass and caiman legs and a bunch of caiman fat.

-We're gonna boil this, -And caiman bones.

And have some caiman broth.

-Yummy. Caiman stew. -Ohhh!

Here's all the ways you can eat caiman.

Caiman jerky,

roasted caiman, smoked caiman,

boiled caiman, caiman stew, caiman kebab.

I could go on for days.

Mmm. Delicious.

Mmm-mmm-mmm.

-So good. -Mmm. So good.

We're out here adapting, thriving, surviving.

We've had our bad days, but today,

-is a good day. -Is a good day.

Oh, my God!

Ooh, it's burning.

It's just every few steps, I feel like I'm gonna fall over.

I just feel like we've been walking for so long.

We're so hot and so exhausted and tired from the hike.

I'm literally looking around thinking, like, is this even possible?

Are we even gonna be able to get there?

It's starting to rain.

Thank God.

Yep. Yeah, we got lucky.

Yeah.

I feel like these conditions saved us on this hike.

I'm not dying from heat exhaustion.

So, I would say rain feels wonderful right now.

If it was just sun, it would have probably killed all three of us.

But luckily... This feels amazing.

It does seem like we're getting closer to the tree line.

It's getting more green.

We've got all those fan palms to our right.

Yeah, my thoughts is we're probably getting closer.

We're walking along down pouring rain.

It's refreshing,

but we need to get to where we're going.

Come on, guys. Let's go in here.

You know, we gotta watch for the Fer-de-lance as well.

Yeah.

-Watch for everything now. -We're back in the jungle.

Whew.

Oh, here's some bigger water.

Yeah.

So this is our water source.

Exactly what we were looking for.

Wow.

That is so deep.

Caiman could be a possibility in here.

And I feel like this will be better fishing.

We finally get to our location.

It's still down pouring rain.

We're looking around.

We're trying to find where we can even think about putting a shelter.

Because night's coming and it is raining hard.

I think it would be really bad to camp right here on this island.

Not only is this drowned by water,

it's got leafcutter ants right there behind you.

-Yeah. -It could also flood very easily.

And we need to get up on higher ground.

Yeah... - I think right now, our priority should be

to get our campsite picked out - Yeah.

-Yup. -and get a shelter started.

'Cause we don't know if this rain is gonna keep up like this,

-or if it's gonna let up. -Yeah.

-So I think we should go back this way. -Yup.

The rain feels nice.

But I don't know if it's gonna feel the best tonight.

Like, still have to put up shelter.

Gotta get fire.

Probably a nice little patch of trees over here to kind of keep us dry.

Over here, this little thicket in here.

-Over there? -Yeah.

Maybe go up, find a ridge, put this shelter on.

That looks like the high point right there about 20 feet ahead.

-Got some thin, taller trees you can cut for framework. -Just cut 'em up quick.

Yep.

And use 'em for framework.

Okay.

Nice if we clear this area out. It's a little high patch.

And then we're gonna fell some of these trees and build a simple A-frame.

And thatch it with palm fronds and grass, whatever we can get.

-Bridge pole. -Yup.

A little closer. Yeah, right there.

Perfect.

There we go.

This area is away from the main water,

so hopefully there'll be fewer mosquitoes.

Also it's on a high piece of ground.

You know the big problem in our last shelters,

we had the river flowing through our shelter.

And it looks like this is the highest around.

So, this is a pretty good spot right here.

I'm gonna try go grabbing some palms.

Put a thatching on it.

With this rain,

it's soaking everything.

You know, it really is a gift and a curse at the same time.

We're trying to cut wood, we're trying to put everything together.

It's all dripping in our eyes.

It's horrible timing.

The pouring rain is very excruciating for me.

I'm starting to get very nervous about

can we get a shelter up in time for tonight?

If I'm soaking wet when the sun sets

and we don't have the shelter or fire,

it'll certainly get very cold, very quickly.

Wish it would stop raining for just a little bit.

That'd be good.

If I get too cold

and I get hypothermia, like, I would go home.

This blows.

Just stop raining.

Just stop raining.

Colombia can suck my

This is a terrible nightmare.

What is that?

The roof of the shelter is infested with silkworms.

You can hear a munching, and then they poop on you.

I don't want them falling on me all night. No.

-Yeah and their poop. -And their poop.

Like, just get covered in it.

Like... You see this is... That is their poop.

So, if you sleep with your mouth open,

you're gonna get some extra protein, which I do.

And they get bigger and juicier

and when they fall on us,

then we squish them, they squirt.

Literally like a shelter...

giblets.

Like, it's disgusting.

And I'm over it.

Wish it would stop raining for just a little bit.

That'd be good.

This blows.

Yeah.

We have the chills.

We just need it to quit raining now.

I'm cold.

Oh, nice.

Finally, the sun came out.

Oh, I'm gonna need to warm up in that sun.

You never know what the weather's gonna do in the Colombian badlands.

And it can change on a dime.

What you thinking, Nate?

I'm trying to find more palm for it.

-Another one, Nate. -Yeah.

-I'll polish off this side real quick. -Yeah.

You still need a ton more.

So I'm a little worn out at the moment.

But, feeling optimistic about the challenge.

We are pretty happy to be where we're at.

This spot looks like a really good location.

Mmm

No! no!

You all right?

Damn rocks!

I cut my foot wide open on those on rocks.

How bad is it?

A big triangle gouge cut out of Terra's foot.

Jesus.

Yeah, I'm about done with this thing.

You can't catch a break, man.

Of all the zones. Getting out of the water.

Day three, I damn near cut my hand off.

Today, I cut my foot open on a rock.

I am so tired of being injured.

I'm just in a seriously low spot.

-As long as... -I think we're in a very rich place.

There's not a lot of work to be done.

Fire should be easy.

Yeah, but I want to hunt.

I want to go out and do things.

But I don't wanna leave and I don't want it to get infected.

So, must make a call to the medic.

Call for Monica.

I cut my foot open.

Obviously, my feet are always in contact with the dirt.

Meaning it's so much more easy to get infected out here.

On your feet than it is anything else.

Okay.

Okay.

My God!

It's kind of imperative that I keep this clean

and I don't really know how at this point.

If I get a massive infection, they're going to med tap me.

And I don't want that.

Okay.

I can't stand up. I can't move.

I'm just falling apart.

But I need a mental and physical reset.

I'm just pissed off right now.

Today is just a low point for me.

Very low point.

I'm like, feeling really weird.

Uh, I'm gonna go to the toilet.

Today I've woken up and my stomach's a little bit off.

And it's just getting worse.

Don't really know what's going on.

Oh, no. Bloody hell.

Well...

We won't need to dig for worms anymore.

I'm pooping 'em.

Oh, no.

It's like every fish here has parasites in it.

That means we both have 'em.

I'd assume so.

Um, they're weird. They're like these little,

sort of, reddish, mucusy looking worms.

-What? Red? -Reddish color. Yeah.

It's a worm There's worms in my poo.

That's why we feel like

We're gonna need the medic.

I pooped on a leaf so I can show him.

This is very alarming for me.

Because this is something way out of scope.

-And I don't want any of that in our bodies. -Okay.

This is very serious.

I don't want to tap but this could be something

that takes me out of the challenge.

They're absorbing like nutrients and stuff out of your body.

So it's just like I'm eating for more than one now.

It's not just me anymore. It's me and my worms.

Most likely, it's parasites from the fish.

Even though we're cooking it,

Like we're touching the fish with our hands,

they get up under your nails like...

Like looking at the stomachs of those fish

and knowing that that's in our body right now,

what it's doing to our insides.

That's got me really freaked out.

Adam, have you ever seen this before?

Parasites.

Bugger.

-Hello. -Hi.

I just, uh, went to the dunny.

-He means the bathroom. -And...

-Okay. -I pooped some worms.

It could be like stomach lining or mucus or something.

But there's like long red... It looks like worms.

When did this start? Just today?

I mean, just noticed now.

You wanna see it?

Do you think it's a worm or it could be blood?

In all my time traveling, fishing, hunting,

I have never seen parasites this bad.

Once ingested, parasitic worms

attach themselves to the lining of the stomach

and feed off their host,

causing nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

Over time, they could lead to internal bleeding and gastrointestinal disease.

This has me very, very anxious

and concerned about long term health problems.

You have any pain?

Oh, yeah! Whoa, buddy!

So I'm not sure what's gonna happen from now.

It's definitely not ideal, you know what I mean?

Like you don't poop blood and then things will chill.

The medics have confirmed that Adam has parasites,

which means, more than likely, I have parasites.

Bottoms up.

So we have started an anti-parasitic to combat that.

Those kind of infections, can be serious infections.

I'm talking downhill real quick and you can end up in a hospital.

That's a quick ticket out of here.

-Thank you, guys. -Okay.

-Bye. -Thank you so much.

Mmm-hmm.

Parasites is something that can not only take you out of this challenge,

but take you out period.

What the hell is in our bodies?
