Man: THE AMAZON IS NO JOKE.
-THAT'S A JAGUAR. -HOLY [BLEEP]
[ HISSES ]
I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE MISERABLE,
AND THE SUFFERING WAS GONNA BE INCREDIBLE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ] -WHOA!
WHOA!
THIS WAS MAKE-OR-BREAK-ME, AS A SURVIVALIST.
[ RAIN POURS ]
LET UP, STORM!
WE ARE WARRIORS, AND WE ARE TAKING ON A BATTLE.
Narrator: STRANDED IN THE REMOTE SWAMPLANDS
OF ECUADOR'S AMAZON BASIN,
A GROUP OF ELITE SURVIVALISTS
FACED AN UNTHINKABLE CHALLENGE...
-OH! I CUT MY FOOT. -[ GASPS ]
Narrator: ...TO SURVIVE 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS
IN THIS NIGHTMARISH HEART OF DARKNESS.
DUDE, WHAT THE [BLEEP] WAS THAT?
[ SNARLS ]
THAT RIGHT THERE DEFINITELY WAS
THE MOST SCARED I'VE EVER BEEN.
STALKED BY DEADLY PREDATORS...
-OH, MY GOD, IT'S MOVING. -WHAT THE HELL?
...AND RAVAGED BY INSECTS.
AAGHH!
THE BUGS ARE SUCH A FREAKIN' NIGHTMARE.
Narrator: THEIR JOURNEY BROUGHT BITTER HEARTBREAK...
[ SCREAMS ]
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE. I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE.
Narrator: ...AND EXHILARATING TRIUMPHS.
[ CHEERING ]
GET KNOCKED DOWN EIGHT TIMES, GET UP NINE TIMES.
-OH, MY GOD! -WE MADE IT!
-CHARLIE! AH! -WHAT'S UP, AMBER?
Narrator: NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THEIR HARROWING EXPERIENCE,
THE SURVIVALISTS HAVE REUNITED TO DISCUSS THEIR EPIC JOURNEY.
'BOUT TIME, BUDDY. 'BOUT TIME, MAN.
Narrator: THROUGH NEW, UNSEEN FOOTAGE...
WE EAT SOME JACKED UP THINGS ON THIS SHOW.
...THEY OFFER NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THEIR EXPERIENCE...
THOSE ARE LESSONS THAT I'LL CHERISH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
Narrator: ...AND CONFRONT LINGERING RESENTMENTS...
I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION FOR YOU, RUSSELL.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CALLING PEOPLE TAPPERS?
...ON "NAKED AND AFRAID XL."
Y'ALL WERE MUCH DIRTIER, SMELLIER,
AND BUTT NAKED LAST TIME WE HUNG OUT.
I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE PEOPLE WITH CLOTHES RIGHT NOW.
IT WAS A LITTLE AWKWARD. -I'M JUST WATCHING.
I'M WATCHING WHERE I WALK.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHAT A NIGHTMARE. THAT PLACE WAS HELL.
THAT'S WHY THERE'S NO PEOPLE THAT LIVE RIGHT WHERE WE WERE.
IN REAL LIFE. NOBODY LIVES THERE FOR A REASON.
THE HARDEST PART FOR ME WAS JUST KNOWING THE SHEER DURATION
YOU HAD AHEAD OF YOU,
LIKE, KNOWING IT'S DAY TWO AND THINK,
"I HAVE 38 MORE DAYS OF THIS?"
IT ALMOST SEEMED INSURMOUNTABLE.
I CAN PUT YOU IN AN ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORT FOR 40 DAYS
AND YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR MIND, LET ALONE IN THAT HELLHOLE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
IT WAS A HELLHOLE. THANK YOU. IT WAS.
-IT RAINED CONSTANTLY. -YEAH.
IT RAINED AS SOON AS WE GOT UNDRESSED.
-IT RAINED EVERY DAY. -NOTHING DRY.
[ THUNDER CRASHING ]
HOLY CRAP.
[ RAIN POURS ]
WHEN IT RAINS OUT THERE, IT RAINS HARD.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
-WHOA! -HOLY [BLEEP]
THAT WAS CLOSE!
THAT WAS REALLY CLOSE!
IT RAINS TO A POINT WHERE LIGHTNING WAS HITTING AROUND US,
TREES WERE COMING DOWN.
[ WOOD CREAKS ]
[ CRASH ] -OH [BLEEP]
-WOW. -WOW.
THAT COULD'VE HURT SOMEBODY.
THAT COULD'VE BEEN YOUR TICKET HOME.
THIS WAS THE HARDEST PLACE I'VE EVER DEALT WITH TO GET BY.
-THAT WAS HARD. -ABSOLUTELY.
I MEAN, IT WAS SUPER HARD.
[ EXHALES DEEPLY ] [BLEEP]
-WANT SOME OF MY HAIR? -HERE, I'LL CUT SOME OFF.
♪♪
SEE THE SACRIFICES WE MAKE?
♪♪
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
DAMN.
IT'S SO WET THAT WE CAN'T EVEN START HER HAIR ON FIRE.
THAT'S HOW WET IT IS.
SEE, I WAS HUMBLED, BECAUSE I WENT INTO IT,
I WAS LIKE, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, WE GOT FIRE."
FIRE'S MY JAM.
IT'S JUST A NEVER-ENDING BATTLE.
THE BUGS, AS YOU GUYS KNOW,
ARE SUCH A FREAKIN' NIGHTMARE OUT THERE.
HELL ON EARTH.
CONTINUALLY GETTING JUST EATEN ALIVE, EATEN ALIVE.
EUUGHH.
[ INSECT BUZZING ]
AAH! OW!
AAH, I HATE THOSE [BLEEP]
WE WERE BARRAGED BY MOSQUITOS, TICKS, ANTS,
JUST EVERYTHING THAT WANTED TO BITE US WAS BITING US.
AND THERE WAS REALLY NO ESCAPING THEM.
OHH!
REALLY?
A BEE STUNG MY [BLEEP] VAGINA JUST NOW, GUYS. SORRY.
AAAHH!
THEY BUGS WERE EVIL, AND THEY WERE OVERWHELMING.
I MEAN, OVERWHELMING, LITERALLY TAKING OVER YOUR BODY.
GOD [BLEEP] DAMN IT.
I'VE GOT BUGS EVERYWHERE YOU COULD IMAGINE JUST DEVOURING ME.
AAGHH!
JUST GOT BIT ON THE PENIS BY A BUG.
I'M NOT GONNA SHOW IT TO YOU, BUT IT HURTS.
AAH, IT BURNS.
OH, MATT.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY DO NOT CARE WHERE THEY BITE YOU.
MM-HMM.
I MEAN, THEY GOT STRAIGHT FOR YOUR [BLEEP] SOMETIMES.
THEY'RE JUST LIKE, BEELINE RIGHT TO THE BUTT.
THE ANTS LOVE THE BUTT.
THAT REALITY OF, I GOT BIT ON THE TIP OF MY PENIS.
-WAS THAT THE FIRST NIGHT? -YEAH. YEAH. NIGHT ONE.
MY FIRST NIGHT IN THE AMAZON
WAS MY WORST NIGHT OF THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE.
-AMEN. -I MEAN, I REMEMBER TRYING
TO GET THIS SHELTER BUILT, JUST BEING ATTACKED BY MOSQUITOS.
IT STARTED POURING RAIN, AND, OH, MY GOD.
LIKE, IT WAS RIGHT AFTER NIGHTFALL,
AND WE JUST HEAR THIS LIKE, CRE-E-E-AK.
[ WOOD SPLINTERING ]
-[ GASPS ] -OH, MY GOD!
[ CRASH ]
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
I'M ON THE GROUND, AND IT'S TOUCHING MY FACE.
WORST. PLACE. EVER.
EVER.
OUR SHELTER JUST FELL.
[BLEEP]
WE'RE KIND OF ON A SLANT NOW.
WE NEED TO LOWER THE, UM, MOSQUITO NET.
OH, MY GOD, NO.
THIS IS EASILY THE WORST PLACE I'VE EVER SLEPT.
WE DID SUFFER A LOT THAT NIGHT.
I MEAN, IT WAS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE,
ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE, AND NONE OF US SLEPT.
THAT WAS HORRIBLE.
THE FIRST NIGHT, MATT AND I, WE HAD THE MOUNTAIN LION,
OR THE PUMA, GETTING INTO THE CAMPSITE.
THAT RIGHT THERE DEFINITELY WAS PROBABLY THE MOST SCARED
I'VE EVER BEEN,
KNOWING THAT I WAS COMPLETELY NAKED, EXPOSED,
AND THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T WANT TO
JUST HANG OUT WITH YOU. IT WANTED TO EAT YOU.
[ GROWLING ] -WHAT THE [BLEEP] WAS THAT?
DID YOU HEAR THAT [BLEEP]
Russell: NIGHT ONE, WE'RE SITTING AROUND THE CAMPFIRE,
AND THERE WAS ACTUALLY A JAGUAR, A PUMA, STALKING US.
WE COULD HEAR IT.
YEAH, IT DID, DUDE.
SO NOT THINKING ABOUT IT, MATT STARTS MAKING ALL THESE NOISES,
TRYING TO CALL SOMETHING INTO THE CAMPSITE.
[ CHATTERING ]
DUDE, STOP.
Gonna call him in.
And then eat him.
[ CHATTERING ]
STOP, DUDE. I'M DEAD SERIOUS.
[ CHATTERING ]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING ]
Russ, what do you think?
DUDE, IT'S WALKING OVER HERE.
[BLEEP] IS THAT, DUDE?
DUDE, WHAT THE [BLEEP] WAS THAT? DID YOU HEAR THAT [BLEEP]
IT'S [BLEEP] CLOSE.
I MEAN, I [BLEEP] SLEEPING TONIGHT.
UH, Y'ALL DON'T UNDERSTAND.
HE'S SITTING HERE CALLING THE SON OF A BITCH
INTO THE CAMPSITE, AND I'M SITTING THERE LIKE,
"YOU CAN'T SEE IT. IT SEES YOU," YOU KNOW?
AND WHEN IT GROWLED, YOU COULD HEAR IT GO, "RRRRGGHHHH."
AND WE BOTH IMMEDIATELY JUMPED INTO THE SHELTER --
LEGS UP, SPEARS OUT, AND WE'RE LIKE,
"OH, MY GOD, WE'RE GONNA DIE!" YOU KNOW?
Matt: AS YOU'RE WATCHING, YOU CAN SEE I'M NOT AS NERVOUS
BECAUSE I'M LIKE, THAT BIG CAT'S GONNA LOOK AT ME AND BE LIKE,
"I DON'T KNOW THAT I COULD FIGHT THAT GUY,
BUT I CAN DRAG THAT LI'L SUM BITCH OFF INSTANTLY."
DUDE, MOUNTAIN LIONS CAN CARRY 180 POUND DEER UP A TREE.
I WOULD BE THE THING THAT CAT WENT FOR.
KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY, IS HOW WE ALL FEEL SAFE,
LIKE, IN OUR "SHELTERS"... -YEAH.
-...THESE LITTLE THATCH... -LIKE IT'S GONNA DO ANYTHING.
LIKE, YEAH, THIS PUMA CAN'T GET ME IF I HIDE BEHIND THIS STICK.
-EXACTLY. -EXACTLY.
I MEAN, EVERY ONE OF OUR FIRST DAY
WAS PROBABLY ABOUT THE WORST DAY OF LIKE, ORGANIZATION.
HEY, I GOT THE RECORD, YOU.
I GOT THE "NAKED AND AFRAID" RECORD.
I'M THE OLDEST AND I LASTED THE LEAST.
WHO THE HELL PREPARES FOR MUD, YOU KNOW?
HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR MUD?
[ RAIN POURS ]
THAT JUNGLE MUD WAS INCREDIBLY SLIPPERY.
I MEAN, IT WAS INSANE.
-WHOOP! -WHOO!
WHOA! I'M GONNA HAVE A SEAT RIGHT HERE, GUYS.
YOU GUYS CAN GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE REST OF THE DAY OFF.
I THINK WE ALL JUST TOOK TURNS FALLING.
LITTLE BIT OF RAIN, THIS TERRAIN GETS MUDDY AND MORE TREACHEROUS.
[ SCREAMS ]
[BLEEP]
THAT WASN'T GOOD.
AAHHH! AAHHH!
CALL A MEDIC! HOLD ON, BRO, WE'RE COMING DOWN.
AAHHH!
HOLY [BLEEP] DUDE. YEAH, THAT'S NOT GOOD.
AFTER BEING SEEN BY A DOCTOR, HE DETERMINED
THAT I COMPLETELY SEVERED MY QUAD TENDON.
AND WHAT THAT IS IS, THE QUAD TENDON IS THE ONE
THAT LETS YOUR LEG OPERATE FROM THE KNEE DOWN.
I WENT THROUGH TWO OPERATIONS TO GET IT BACK IN PLACE.
THE RECOVERY WAS SIX WEEKS.
THE PAIN LASTED FOR ABOUT THREE.
IT HURT.
IT WAS SOME DARK TIMES FOR ME.
I'M DEALING NOT ONLY WITH THE PAIN IN MY LEG,
BUT THE EMOTIONAL STRESS OF NOT FINISHING.
FIRST [BLEEP] DAY.
I'VE NEVER FAILED AT ANYTHING. NOTHIN'.
AND THIS IS THE FIRST THING I EVER FAILED AT.
-YOU DIDN'T FAIL. -NO, YEAH.
NO, YOU DIDN'T FAIL.
DIDN'T FINISH, DIDN'T FAIL, BROTHAH.
BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE YOUSE.
I'M A MARINE, AND IN THE MARINE CORPS, YOU...
YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING IN THE MILITARY.
YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING IN THE MILITARY?
YOU DON'T LEAVE A GUY BEHIND, YOU DON'T LEAVE YOUR MEN BEHIND,
AND I WAS LEAVING YOUSE, AND THAT REALLY, REALLY BOTHERED ME.
YOU TWO GUYS GET BACK TO WORK
AND START MAKING THAT [BLEEP] FIRE.
WHEN I GET UP THERE, THERE BETTER BE A FIRE.
-WE LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND. -I'M NOT BEING LEFT BEHIND.
I GOT PLENTY OF PEOPLE HERE, AND...GO BACK TO WORK.
YOU HUSH. YOU HUSH. WE AIN'T LEAVIN' UNTIL YOU LEAVE.
LISTEN TO ME. WE'RE HERE TO WORK,
WE'RE NOT HERE TO PLAY AROUND WITH ME.
I'LL BE BACK.
I HAVEN'T SAID THIS TO YOU TWO GUYS --
I'M SORRY FOR LEAVING. MAN, I'M...I REALLY AM.
-IT, UH... -CHARLIE.
...SUCKED TO WATCH YOU GO, MAN. YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES YOU GET DRAGGED OFF BY SOMETHING ELSE.
I STILL GOT 39 DAYS LEFT.
I DON'T WANT TO GO.
I FEEL LIKE I LET EVERYBODY AND MYSELF DOWN.
Narrator: COMING UP...
THOSE GIRLS GOT BIG BUTTS. LIKE, THEY'RE BIGGER --
I MEAN, I REALLY KINDA WISH I HAD LIKE, SMALLER PARTNERS.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT I BROUGHT YOU DOWN AS MUCH AS YOU'RE SAY--
YOU BLAMING CHANCELLOR?
NO, I'M -- I TOLD -- I WAS REITERAT--
NO, THIS MAN WAS IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT AS YOU WERE.
THIS TALKING -- WHAT -- HE WAS THERE.
YOU BLAMING HIM? -[BLEEP] RUSSELL SAGE.
OH, I DIDN'T EVEN SEE HIM.
AH, THEY BITE! [BLEEP] [BLEEP]
THEY'RE [BLEEP] BITING GRASSHOPPERS.
I SAY WE EAT THE BASTARD.
WHO KNEW [BLEEP]
LOOK AT THOSE CHOMPERS ON HIM.
-OH, MY GOODNESS. -YEAH.
I'M JUST GONNA COOK HIM WHOLE AND THEN TAKE HIS SHELL OFF.
Russell: WHEN YOU'RE STARVING, IN THIS CHALLENGE,
EVERY SINGLE THING THAT CRAWLS, MOVES, WALKS, FLIES,
YOU CONSIDER, CAN I EAT THAT?
LET'S HAVE LUNCH.
EAT HIS LEGS?
POPCORN. TELL ME.
LIKE, AT LEAST CRAPPY POPCORN.
YEAH, LIKE CRAPPY POPCORN YOU BURNT IN THE MICROWAVE.
WE WERE EATING EVERYTHING WE COULD
JUST TO STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND NOT GET TOO WEAK.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WE EAT SOME JACKED UP THINGS ON THIS SHOW.
THEY WERE FREAKIN' DELICIOUS.
THEY TASTED LIKE CHIPS, LIKE, CRUNCHY AND TASTY. LIKE...
-YOU HAD THEM, TOO? -OH, YEAH. WE FEASTED.
THAT WAS LIKE, WHOA, YOU KNOW WHAT,
WHEN THE JUNGLE GIVES YOU CRISPY QUEEN ANTS, YOU GO TO TOWN.
Russell: WE ARE DOING THINGS
THAT YOU WOULD NEVER NORMALLY DO IN YOUR NORMAL LIFE.
THAT WILL TO SURVIVE IS SO STRONG.
WE'RE DOING THINGS THAT NOW IN HINDSIGHT SEEM CRAZY.
I THINK BACK TO NIGHT FISHING, USING A LITTLE TORCH WE MADE,
GOING THROUGH THE CAIMAN- AND PIRANHA-INFESTED WATER,
NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE.
[ CAIMAN CALLING ]
We can hear a caiman... somewhere around us.
♪♪
YES! YES!
IT SPEAKS TO, LIKE, WHERE WE WERE MENTALLY AT THAT POINT,
WHERE THAT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA.
LIKE, "LET'S DO THIS," "YEAH, GOOD IDEA,"
WHEN NOW LOOKING BACK IN HINDSIGHT,
THAT JUST SEEMS CRAZY.
BUT IN THE MOMENT, IT'S LIKE,
YEAH, THE FISH TO BE EASIER TO GET AT NIGHT.
OKAY, WE'LL GO AT NIGHT.
I'M HUNGRY.
HONESTLY, ALL I'M THINKING ABOUT IS NIGHT FISHING.
THAT MAKES ME NERVOUS.
Lacey: I STARTED OFF SUPER NEGATIVE ABOUT HAVING FEMALE PARTNERS.
I WAS LIKE, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FREAKIN' KIDDING ME.
I WAS NOT HAPPY.
Giovanna: I HONESTLY THINK IT'S BETTER TO BE DRY AND GET PROTEIN TOMORROW.
I DON'T AGREE AT ALL.
I MEAN, I'M USED TO WORKING WITH MALES.
FEMALES ARE MORE DIFFICULT FOR ME.
I TEND TO BE OUTSPOKEN, AND I TEND TO NOT THINK BEFORE I TALK.
RIGHT NOW, OUR GROUP IS ALL TALK.
♪♪
AND THAT SOUNDS HARSH, BUT THAT'S WHAT I FEEL LIKE WE ARE.
THAT WAS REALLY HARSH, ACTUALLY.
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD EVER SAY THAT AGAIN.
I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
I WASN'T HAPPY TO BE WITH TWO FEMALES
'CAUSE I'M LIKE, WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE LIKE, STRONG ENOUGH
TO HELP US BUILD THE SHELTER THE WAY WE NEED IT.
I AM A STRONG WOMAN, BUT I ALSO KNOW MY LIMITS.
I KNOW THAT I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH
TO CUT DOWN A [BLEEP] TON OF TREES.
YEAH, BUT WE WERE THE ONES WHO CUT DOWN THE TREES
WHILE YOU WERE PUTTING THE SHELTER TOGETHER.
-WE DID ALL THE LABOR. -THAT IS NOT TRUE, AMBER.
I WAS OUT THERE FOR THREE HOURS CUTTING DOWN WOOD
WHILE YOU WERE FORMULATING THE PLAN FOR THE SHELTER
THAT DIDN'T HOLD OUR WEIGHT.
WHICH IS FINE, AND WE LEARNED OUR LESSONS.
IT'S NOT MY FAULT.
WE'RE NOT BLAMING YOU FOR THE SHELTER.
WE'RE JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT...
I UNDERESTIMATED HOW HEAVY MY PARTNERS WERE.
WE KNOW. YOU TOLD US SEVERAL TIMES.
OH, MY GOD, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU WERE THERE. I'M SORRY.
THOSE GIRLS GOT BIG BUTTS. LIKE, THEY'RE BIGGER --
I MEAN, I REALLY KINDA WISH I HAD LIKE, SMALLER PARTNERS.
I FEEL LIKE I'M, LIKE, BEING TOSSED AROUND
LIKE A RAG DOLL AT NIGHT.
I WAS LIKE, I THINK YOU GUYS ARE GETTING FATTER.
I WAS LIKE, THERE'S NO WAY THIS SHELTER'S GETTING SMALLER.
THE POINT IS, WE BUSTED OUR BUTT,
YOU WERE THROWING THE SHELTER TOGETHER,
YOU THROW OUT THAT YOU WISH WE WERE A MAN.
I MEAN, HOW DEMEANING IS THAT?
I MEAN, ESPECIALLY WITH A SISTER WHO SERVED IN THE MILITARY.
I NEVER RELY ON A MAN.
I CUT DOWN JUST AS MANY TREES AS YOU DID.
THANK YOU.
YEAH, THAT'S A HORRIBLE WAY TO THINK.
THERE'S NOTHING THAT I THINK THAT I COULDN'T DO,
YOU KNOW, COMPARED TO ONE OF THESE GUYS.
I'M A REALIST. I'M A REALIST.
Amber: THAT'S NOT REAL.
I WAS STOKED TO BE WITH A GROUP OF WOMEN, HONESTLY.
I WOULD'VE BEEN SO STOKED TO BE WITH YOU TWO. SO STOKED.
LIKE, WE HONESTLY REALLY DID LOVE YOU, LACEY.
AND YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB.
AND YOU WORKED JUST AS HARD AS US.
I DIDN'T MEAN FOR YOU TO TAKE IT THAT WRONG WAY.
REALLY? SAY THAT AGAIN SO THAT GETS ON THERE.
IF YOU'RE GONNA BE A [BLEEP] I'M NOT GONNA TALK TO YOU
'CAUSE YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT, SO I'M OVER IT NOW.
Lacey: [ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
[ SNIFFLING ]
WHY ARE YOU ALL TEARY-EYED?
I KNOW MY LIMITS, OKAY?
THAT'S ALL I WAS SAYING ABOUT THE MAN THING.
AND I DIDN'T GO ON AND ON ABOUT IT LIKE THAT.
YEAH, WAS I DISAPPOINTED THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A MAN TO HELP US?
YES. ESPECIALLY AFTER OUR SHELTER BROKE.
I WAS LIKE, MAN...IT'S HARD.
WE WERE SO THIRSTY, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE WATER,
AND WE WERE HACKING DOWN THESE TREES THAT WERE SO BIG.
I LOVE YOU GUYS, AND I DIDN'T REALIZE
THAT I BROUGHT YOU DOWN AS MUCH AS YOU'RE SAY--
I'M SO SORRY FOR GETTING YOU WORKED UP.
YOU'RE AN AMAZING PERSON. WE LOVED YOU OUT THERE.
I LOVED YOU AS A PERSON.
I THINK WE NEED A HUG.
LIKE, I THINK SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GET SOME HUGS IN ORDER HERE.
GET OVER HERE.
YEAH, LET'S GET A HUG IN THERE.
-I LOVE YOU...SO MUCH. -YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
WE CRIED FOREVER ABOUT YOU.
Narrator: COMING UP...
AMBER HAS BEEN ON "NAKED AND AFRAID" TWICE
AND HAS TAPPED TWICE.
YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT 21 DAYS.
I WAS MEDICAL-PULLED BOTH TIMES, SO IT KILLS ME INSIDE OF MY GUTS
TO HEAR YOU CALL ME A TAPPER,
WHEN A TAPPER IS SOMEBODY WHO VOLUNTEERS TO LEAVE.
♪♪
[ CREATURE SQUEALING ]
[BLEEP]
There he is.
OH, MY GOD.
VERY BADASS.
[ Voice breaking ] I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE EVER KILLED ANYTHING
THAT MEANT THIS MUCH.
IT'S A GIFT FROM NATURE TO AID IN OUR SURVIVAL.
[ APPLAUSE ]
-OH, MY GOD. -OH, YEAH.
I LOVE THAT...
SO -- SO THIS IS THAT PIG'S SKULL.
AND THIS GUY RIGHT HERE IS THE VERY FIRST BIG-GAME ANIMAL
I EVER KILLED ON "NAKED AND AFRAID."
-WOW. -THAT IS AMAZING.
-THAT'S PRETTY AWESOME, DUDE. -BRAVO.
-I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT. -WHOO!
IT ACTUALLY TOUCHES ME MORE THAN I COULD EVER EXPLAIN.
HOW MUCH DID IT WEIGH?
IT WAS LIKE 80 OR 90 POUNDS.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE, TOO STRESSFUL FOR TWO PEOPLE
TO HAVE TO EAT IT BECAUSE YOU JUST CAN'T PRESERVE IT THAT WELL.
OH, YOU POOR THING. I DON'T EVEN KNOW.
WELL, YEAH, THAT'S A REAL-WORLD [LAUGHS]
THAT'S A REAL-WORLD PROBLEM GOING ON.
DUDE, WE MAY BE THE FIRST PEOPLE IN "NAKED AND AFRAID" HISTORY
TO GAIN WEIGHT.
IN A FOUR-DAY TIME FRAME,
I PROBABLY ATE ABOUT 25, 30 POUNDS OF JUST PIG.
NUH-UH.
NO, BUT I THINK AFTER TODAY, I WILL.
-IT'LL HAPPEN. -MM-HMM.
[ LAUGHS ]
MAN, I'M DYING.
Matt: UH, DAY 11 TODAY.
AND THE BIG NEWS IS -- RUSSELL'S BOWELS, THEY'RE BLOCKED.
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU HAVE TO GIVE RUSSELL SOME [BLEEP] ABOUT NOT POOPING.
YEAH. -HE HASN'T POOPED YET?
HE'S BEEN HAVING LIKE, SOME BLOCKAGE ISSUES, WHERE HE HAS --
Russell: MY BOWELS ARE NOT THE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION!
RUSSELL, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR BUTT?
NOTHING, APPARENTLY.
Matt: GUESS WHO WENT POO TODAY.
24 DAYS. THREE WEEKS WITHOUT POOPING.
GOT TO BE A RECORD.
PHEW.
[ LAUGHTER ]
ALL RIGHT. Y'ALL DON'T KNOW HOW EXCITED I WAS TO POO, OKAY?
IT'S INSANE TO THINK THAT I WENT THREE WEEKS
WITHOUT, UH -- WITHOUT GOING, BUT...THERE WAS NOTHING --
MY BODY USED EVERY BIT OF FOOD I ATE. EVERY BIT OF IT.
I WAS BAWLING IN THE DAMN JUNGLE.
I WAS READY TO KEEL OVER LAUGHING.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS NERVOUS,
BECAUSE LITERALLY, IF YOU DON'T POOP, YOU WILL DIE.
-YEAH. -AND I'M THINKING,
"THAT'S IT. THIS IS THE END FOR HIM."
HE'S GONNA DIE FROM CONSTIPATION.
DEATH FROM CONSTIPATION.
IF ANYBODY WOULD'VE DIED BEING FULL OF [BLEEP]...
-IT WOULD BE RUSSELL. -...IT'S GONNA BE RUSSELL.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] -HEY, AT LEAST I'M AWARE OF IT.
AT LEAST I'M AWARE OF IT. -HE DIED AS HE LIVED.
I'M SO HAPPY TO HAVE OUR TEAM BACK!
I KNOW! I KNOW, I'M SO HAPPY.
-YAY. -I'M SO HAPPY.
WHEN WE MET UP WITH THE WOMEN, IT WAS KIND OF A PERFECT MATCH.
I REALLY DID FEEL LIKE WE'VE WORKED
IN A SYSTEMATIC, BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FRIENDSHIP,
NOT MUCH DRAMA.
YEAH, THAT IS LOOKING REALLY NICE.
AND THE MORE PARTNERS YOU HAVE WHILE YOU'RE SURVIVING,
THE MORE THAT DESIRE FUELS YOUR DESIRE
TO GO OUT AND GET MORE SUSTENANCE.
HEY, WELCOME HOME!
WE HAVE ENOUGH FOOD NOW TO FEED A SMALL ARMY.
-[ GASPS ] -THEY'RE COMIN' IN, MAN.
AS SOON AS WE MET UP AND WE MERGED,
IT WAS LIKE THIS PERFECT HARMONY OF A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.
AND I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN HOW MUCH IT KILLED ME
HAVING TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOU GUYS.
THE TYPE OF BACTERIA THAT CAME BACK, UM,
IS A LOT STRONGER THAN WHAT WE CAN TREAT OUT HERE.
I GOT TO GO.
I'VE GOT SOME SORT OF FLESH-EATING BACTERIA.
IT, UH, CAN'T BE TREATED. I GOT TO GO.
BRING IT IN.
[ SOBBING AND LAUGHING ]
IT WAS A HUGE LOSS.
I MEAN, WE FELT YOUR ABSENCE SO MUCH AFTER YOU LEFT, YOU KNOW?
WE JUST LOST THE AMAZON WARRIOR.
YEAH, I KNOW. MAKES ME CRY THINKING ABOUT IT, BUT...
YOU WANTED TO STAY THERE SO BAD, AND IT BROKE MY HEART,
BECAUSE WE ALL KNEW IT WAS BAD.
WE LOVED YOU SO MUCH.
THAT WAS LIKE, ONE OF THE WORST TIMES
WE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH AS A FAMILY.
THE MORALE IN OUR GROUP WENT FROM US SURVIVING AND THRIVING
TO A LOW.
I MEAN, WE WERE ALL SO, SO LOW.
AND THEN THE BIGGEST TWIST IN THE HISTORY OF THE SHOW
COMES ALONG, AND HERE COMES CHANCE.
AND THAT WAS...
WE COULDN'T HAVE ALL BEEN MORE SHOCKED.
WHY ARE THERE NAKED PEOPLE COMING TOWARDS US?
-WHAT? -OH, MY GOD.
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
-THE AMAZON. -[ LAUGHING ]
-WE NEED 'EM. -THAT WAS INSANE.
IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME 'CAUSE, UH, THE GROUP DYNAMIC
KINDA EVOLVED FROM DAY ONE --
YOU GUYS WERE TOGETHER, THE SHARED STRUGGLE,
YOU GOT TO THAT POINT, YOU'D FORMED THAT CAMARADERIE.
"HELLO. HERE I AM."
IT JUST FELT WEIRD 'CAUSE I WAS...
"OH, YOU'RE NOT MATT."
-NO. NO. -NO. TOTALLY.
IT WAS HARD 'CAUSE I'M HAVING TO, LIKE,
BLEND IN WITH THIS GROUP DYNAMIC,
AND THERE'S FOUR MOUTHS TO FEED.
WHEN MATT LEFT, NOW THERE'S NO MORE MATT GETTING THE FOOD,
SO IT WAS EITHER WE TRY TO FIND DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET FOOD
OR SOMEBODY NEEDS TO JUST STEP UP AND START DOING IT.
AND YOU KNOW, I WAS ABLE TO START GETTING
LARGE QUANTITIES OF FISH.
...38, 39...
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
DAMN, DUDE. RIGHT ON THE DOT.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
-40. -STRONG WORK, MAN.
HELL, YEAH.
Chance: RUSSELL, I KINDA FEEL WE SHOULD OFFER THE GIRLS SOME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
YOU HEAR HOW THEY BITCH AND COMPLAIN ABOUT --
WHAT WERE WE SAYING? -- OR NOT "WE" --
I WAS SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY NEED TO PULL THEIR WEIGHT
AND STUFF LIKE THAT. MAYBE THEY DON'T WANT ANY.
I THINK IT'LL GO A LONG WAY IN THE BIGGER PICTURE,
SO UH...LIKE, YEAH. GO TEAMWORK.
HEY, THE OFFER WAS STILL ON THE TABLE
FOR ME TO SHOW THEM HOW TO CATCH THAT MANY DAMN FISH.
THEY'RE STILL NOT WANTING TO DO IT.
THEY WANT TO DO IT ON THEIR OWN.
THE GIRLS SAID THAT THEY COULD FISH, THEY THREW A CAST NET,
THEY'VE BEEN THROWING CAST NETS THEIR WHOLE LIVES.
THEY KNOW HOW TO FISH.
SO WHEN THEY WOULD COME UP WITH THREE FISH
AND I WOULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, 150 FISH,
THEY WOULD MAKE IT SOUND LIKE WE WERE ON THE SAME LEVEL,
AND I CALLED THEM OUT ON IT.
Y'ALL ARE GONNA HAVE TO HONE IN THE CAST-NETTING
IN ORDER TO BRING IN SOMETHING.
WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT
ON ONE PERSON'S SHOULDERS.
IF I DIDN'T GO DOWN THERE AND FISH, WE DIDN'T HAVE FISH.
[BLEEP]
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHAT THE HELL? -TO THIS DAY, I WILL --
[BLEEP] RUSSELL SAGE. -WOW.
I DON'T THINK Y'ALL REALIZE
HOW LONG Y'ALL WENT WITHOUT GETTING ANYTHING.
YOU KNOW, Y'ALL ARE GONNA HAVE TO HONE IN THE CAST-NETTING
IN ORDER TO BRING IN SOMETHING.
IF I DIDN'T GO DOWN THERE AND FISH, WE DIDN'T HAVE FISH.
[BLEEP]
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHAT THE HELL? -TO THIS DAY, I WILL STAND --
[BLEEP] RUSSELL SAGE.
I DON'T THINK Y'ALL REALIZE
HOW LONG Y'ALL WENT WITHOUT GETTING ANYTHING.
I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.
I REMEMBER US TAKING THE NET AND GETTING FISH
NO MATTER WHAT, EVERY DAY. -I WAS A STEADY CONTRIBUTION.
OH, MY GOD!
THERE WAS DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS STEADY CONTRIBUTION
OF FISH COMING IN, BUT THERE WAS ALSO A STEADY CONTRIBUTION
OF GATHERING A [BLEEP] TON OF FIREWOOD.
IT WAS LIKE YOU WANTED THE FOCAL POINT TO BE ON YOU,
LIKE, "YOU WON'T EAT UNLESS I FEED YOU."
AND THAT'S NOT FAIR.
HOW'D IT GO?
HEY, EVERY TIME I GO OUT, I ALWAYS BRING SOMETHING BACK.
I ALWAYS BRING THE FISH HOME. SOMEBODY'S GOT TO PROVIDE.
I WASN'T TRYING TO COME OFF LIKE THAT.
WELL, THAT'S HOW I TOOK IT.
IT WAS ALWAYS LIKE, YOU WANTED THE FOCAL POINT TO BE ON YOU,
LIKE, "I AM THE PROVIDER, AND I WILL NOT TAKE ANYTHING LESS."
IT'S UP TO Y'ALL TO START CATCHING FISH.
THAT'S FINE. WE'VE BEEN DOING IT EVERY DAY.
WE'VE BEEN OUT THERE EVERY MORNING.
YOU'VE BEEN FISHING EVERY DAY. YOU HAVEN'T BEEN CATCHING.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO THE EXPERT.
I THINK A GOOD POINT TO REMIND OURSELVES
IS THAT WE HAD BEEN OUT IN THE JUNGLE A LONG TIME,
AND SO TENSIONS WERE RUNNING HIGH.
WE WERE JUST BEAT DOWN.
I WANT [BLEEP] PIG.
I WANT TO DO AN OVERNIGHT HUNT.
Woman: THE GUYS DECIDED TO GO ON A PIG HUNT.
IT WAS VERY CLEAR-CUT DEFINED --
THE BOYS AGAINST THE GIRLS, OUT OF NOWHERE.
-ALL RIGHT, GENTS. -BYE.
I'M SO PUMPED ABOUT THIS. THIS IS COOL.
BEING AROUND THREE WOMEN 24 HOURS A DAY,
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, IT GETS TIRESOME.
I DON'T CARE IF THEY ARE NAKED.
ALL RIGHT, THEY COULD HAVE $20 BILLS
DUCT-TAPED TO THEIR WHOLE DAMN BODY,
AND I STILL WOULD RATHER BE HERE RIGHT NOW THAN BE IN THERE.
-WOMEN ALL AROUND YOU! -WHAT ABOUT 50s?
WHAT ABOUT 50s? -YEAH...
-20s?! -MAYBE 50s.
[ LAUGHS ]
COULD SOMEBODY EITHER ARM WRESTLE RUSSELL
OR JUST MAYBE BEAT THE HELL OUT OF HIM,
JUST FOR LIKE, A LITTLE BIT? -HEY.
I'LL ARM WRESTLE RUSSELL RIGHT NOW.
LET'S GO. COME ON.
COME ON, LET'S GO, RUSSELL. COME HERE.
I GOT $100 ON SHANNON. HOLD ON.
OH [BLEEP] ...RIGHT HERE.
ALL RIGHT. READY?
ALL RIGHT, YOU READY?
-WIN, SHANNON. -ONE, TWO, THREE.
COME ON, SHANNON!
OH!
AND THE SCORE IS...
SO I CAN'T ARM WRESTLE HER AND I CAN'T BEAT YOU IN CHECKERS.
THAT RIGHT THERE WAS THROWING RUSSELL
UNDER THE BUS, ALL RIGHT?
RUSSELL IS ONLY A HALF-SIZED MAN.
EXACTLY. I AM FUN-SIZE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
OHHH.
I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION FOR YOU, RUSSELL.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CALLING PEOPLE TAPPERS?
UM, WELL, I WILL SAY THAT I HAVE GONE BACK AND REEVALUATED,
UH, THE TAPPING ASPECT OF IT.
BUT I STILL STAND BEHIND -- IF YOU TAP ON DAY THREE,
YES, I AM STILL GONNA MAKE FUN OF YOU.
AMBER HAS ME A LITTLE WORRIED.
SHE HAS BEEN ON "NAKED AND AFRAID" TWICE
AND HAS TAPPED TWICE.
YOU JUDGE ME ON MY EPISODE, YOU DIDN'T REALLY KNOW ME.
YOU TAPPED ON LIKE DAY 10.
THAT KINDA HAS ME WORRIED, THAT THIS IS HER THIRD TIME.
SHE NEVER EVEN MADE IT TO 21 DAYS
AND NOW IS TRYING TO MAKE IT 40 DAYS.
YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT 21 DAYS, SO...
BUT YOU TAPPED.
THERE'S AN OLD SAYING WHERE I COME FROM --
YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO CRAWL BEFORE YOU CAN WALK.
IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE JUST JUMPED RIGHT INTO FLYING.
I WAS MEDICAL-PULLED BOTH TIMES,
SO IT KILLS ME INSIDE OF MY GUTS TO HEAR YOU CALL ME A TAPPER,
WHEN A TAPPER IS SOMEBODY WHO VOLUNTEERS TO LEAVE.
Russell: THE RAIN'S NOT LETTING UP AT ALL.
AND IT'S NOT GETTING ANY WARMER. IN FACT, IT'S GETTING COLDER.
♪♪
NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE CALLED SOMETHING
WHEN YOU -- NOBODY CAN EXPERIENCE WHAT YOU DID
OUT THERE, RUSSELL, AND WHAT YOUR MIND WAS GOING THROUGH.
THAT WAS MY POINT.
I KNOW I'M A TAPPER. I MEAN, I TAPPED.
I'M NOT STANDING AND JUSTIFYING IT AND SAYING,
"OH, WELL, I WAS PULLED," OR THIS HAPPENED, OR THIS HA--
I SAID I WANTED TO GO.
I WOKE UP ON DAY 32, LIKE, I KNEW I WAS GONNA LEAVE.
AND IF I WOULD'VE HAD A THOUGHT LIKE THAT AROUND FURN,
FURN PROBABLY WOULD'VE TALKED ME OUT OF IT.
AND I THINK THAT IT ALL KINDA CAME TOGETHER AT THAT POINT
WHERE THERE WAS NOBODY TO STOP ME.
THE RAIN, THERE WAS NO FIRE.
IT WAS JUST...I WAS IN MY OWN HEAD, AND...
CHANCE, WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY AND TALK HIM OUT OF IT?
HE HADN'T EATEN IN FOUR DAYS,
AND IT HAD RAINED FOR, WHAT, THREE?
I'M NOT GONNA BASH RUSSELL FOR DECIDING TO GO HOME.
THAT WAS HIS DECISION.
WELL, I'MA TELL YOU SOMETHING.
YOU JUST BLAMED CHANCE FOR LETTING YOU GO.
-NO, I DIDN'T BLAME HIM. -NO, YOU DID. YOU DID.
'CAUSE IF FURNIE WAS THERE, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT.
I WAS REITERATING...
THIS MAN WAS IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT AS YOU WERE.
...WHAT FURNIE AND I HAD TALKED ABOUT.
NO, RUSSELL, HE'S IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT AS YOU WERE.
AND HE'S LIKE... AND YOU SAID YOU WERE GONNA TAP,
HE WENT LIKE THIS, AND THEN HE PUT HIS HEAD BACK DOWN.
-YEAH. -SO YOU BLAMING CHANCELLOR?
NO, I TOLD YOU, I'M NOT BLAMING --
YOU SAID IF FURNIE WAS THERE, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT.
I NEVER ONCE BLAMED CHANCE.
I GOT ONE MORE QUESTION FOR YOU GUYS.
WHEN I LEFT, I FELT REALLY BAD ABOUT LEAVING YOU AND MATT.
YOU FEEL LIKE GARBAGE, DON'T YOU, MATT?
YOU FEEL LIKE GA-- AND IT'S OUT OF YOUR CONTROL, DUDE.
IT'S THE WORST BOAT RIDE YOU CAN TAKE.
-YOU FEEL LIKE TRASH. -WORST BOAT RIDE.
IT REALLY SUCKED. WHEN I LEFT, IT SUCKED.
DID IT SUCK FOR YOU? -OH, IT SUCKED BAD.
HOW DID YOU FEEL LEAVING THAT MAN RIGHT THERE
IN THAT LEAN-TO ALONE?
UM, I -- IN ALL HONESTY,
I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE BUT MYSELF.
OKAY. THAT'S YOUR ANSWER. I RESPECT THAT.
I WAS SO FAR IN MY OWN HEAD...
-HE OWNS IT. -...THINKING ABOUT IT.
HE OWNED IT, YEAH.
I HAD TO GO FOR MY OWN MENTAL HEALTH.
KNOW WHAT I WANT YOU TO TAKE AWAY FROM IT, RUSS?
SPECIAL FORCES, AIR FORCE, MARINE CORPS, ARMY.
IT'S NOT ABOUT THINKING ABOUT MYSELF.
MM.
WHEN WE GET TO THESE DARK SPOTS, AND WE ALL GET TO THEM,
YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WE'RE A PART OF A TEAM.
AND THAT'S WHAT'S INSTILLED IN THAT MAN RIGHT THERE.
-MM. -THIS MAN, MYSELF, THEM --
AND EVEN THEM WHO WEREN'T IN THE MILITARY -- YOU'RE A TEAM.
WE LIKE YOU. AND I LIKE YOU.
START TO BECOME PART OF A TEAM, DUDE.
Narrator: COMING UP...

DON'T BE RUDE. I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO BE
ALL HARD-CORE AND STERN RIGHT NOW, BUT...
I'M TRYING TO BE HARD-CORE AND STERN?
YOU ARE.
YEP, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW ME SO [BLEEP] WELL, AFTER 21 DAYS.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
WHERE I REALLY FELT WEAK AND PATHETIC.
IT MENTALLY JUST ATE AT ME.
Fernando: OKAY, SO...

Shannon: IT WAS VERY MUCH A SURPRISE HOW COLD THE AMAZON GETS.
THE TEMPERATURES JUST DROP,
SO SHARING BODY HEAT WAS JUST REALLY IMPORTANT.
LET'S TRY IT.

THERE YOU GO.
[ GIGGLES ]
THANK YOU.
I REALLY WANT TO SAW THAT OFF, RIGHT THERE.
I CAN'T STAND THAT. IT'S SO LONG.
AND IT GETS CAUGHT UP ON EVERYTHING.
HANGRY IS REAL.
MY TOLERANCE LEVEL, ONCE I GOT THAT HUNGRY, WAS VERY LOW.
I DON'T CARE HOW IT LOOKS. I DON'T CARE ABOUT COSMETICS.
I CARE THE FACT THAT IT FLOATS AND IT HOLDS TWO PEOPLE.
THE MOST TINY CONFLICT COULD BE WORLD WAR III.
I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO BE ALL HARD-CORE
AND STERN RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M IN THE ARMY --
I'M TRYING TO BE HARD-CORE AND STERN?
YOU ARE.
YEP. 'CAUSE YOU KNOW ME SO [BLEEP] WELL AFTER 21 DAYS.
YOU'RE TAKING TOO MUCH INTO THIS RIGHT NOW.
NO, I'M REALLY NOT. I JUST DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE ANYMORE.
'CAUSE I CAN'T HEAR THE HOLE UNDER YOUR NOSE.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
WHERE I REALLY FELT WEAK AND PATHETIC.
LIKE, I FELT LIKE I COULDN'T CONTRIBUTE.
AND IT MENTALLY JUST ATE AT ME.
I MEAN, MY MEAT SUIT WENT AWAY, AND I LOST 40 POUNDS,
AND I'M LIKE, I LOOK LIKE A STICK FIGURE.
THIS IS LIKE, DEPRESSING.
AND YOU GUYS WERE SUPPORTIVE.
AND YOU GUYS PUT UP WITH THE HANGRY.
SO THANK YOU.
BROTHER, YOU WERE AWESOME OUT THERE.
I MEAN, WE WATCHED YOU CHANGE, TOO, OVER THE TIME,
FROM HANGRY TO AMAZING...
-SORRY. -...TO HANGRIER.
I RECALL SO DISTINCTLY.
LIKE, THE AMAZON UP TO THAT POINT
HAD BEEN, LIKE, KICKING OUR BUTTS.
-I MEAN, YOU... -YEAH. THE LAST WEEK WAS HARD.
AND JUST LIKE, MAN, RUSSELL'S GONE, THIS AND THAT,
AND IT'S ALL KINDS OF ADVERSITY,
AND EVENTUALLY, YOU'RE DUE FOR A BREAK.

YOU KNOW, WE STUFFED OUR FACES THAT NIGHT.
-I CAN HEAR FAT SIZZLING. -DOESN'T THAT SOUND AMAZING?
OH, MY GOD. HANDS DOWN THE BEST EEL I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.

-DUDE, EAT IT. -I DON'T WANT ANY.

BEFORE WE SET OUT THE NEXT DAY.
OH, MY GOD, GUYS.
OH, MY GOD, IS THAT US?

I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE MISERABLE,
AND THE SUFFERING WAS GONNA BE INCREDIBLE.

IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND IT IS POURING.
THIS IS LIKE A MONSOON.

THE CLARITY AND THE WISDOM AND THE PERSPECTIVE YOU GET
FROM SURVIVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS,
YOU CAN'T READ IT IN A BOOK, YOU CAN'T SEE IT IN A MOVIE,
IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT IS FOREVER IN YOU.
-COME HERE. -OH, MY GOD!
-COME BE IN THE GROUP. -WE STINK, BUT WE MADE IT!
I WAS REALLY THANKFUL FOR THE LIFE LESSONS THAT I LEARNED.
IF I CAME OFF TOO STRONG AND YOU FELT THREATENED,
I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
I APOLOGIZE FOR YELLING BACK.
LEARNING TO EMPATHIZE, LEARNING TO WORK AS A TEAM.
LOOK AT US -- ALL TOGETHER CHOPPING WOOD.
SO AMERICAN.
THOSE ARE LESSONS THAT I'LL CHERISH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
I THINK PERSONALLY, THIS WAS MAKE-OR-BREAK ME,
AS A SURVIVALIST.
I MEAN, COME ON, GUYS. THIRD TIME. I FINALLY MADE IT.
GOD! -YEAH. THIS WAS...
THE AMAZON'S THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER DONE, EVER.
DEFINITELY.
I FELT SO GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF THIS JOURNEY.
AND I KNEW THIS WAS THE MOMENT TO PROVE TO MYSELF
THAT I AM A GREAT SURVIVALIST.
TIMBER!
