So typically, my day job
consists of selling uniforms
to medical professionals,
but a lot of what my
efforts and resources
have switched to lately
is sourcing materials
and making masks for
frontline medical workers
during this pandemic.
I guess I've been so busy
making masks for everybody else,
I didn't realize I hadn't
even made myself a mask.
What do you think, guys?
Does it look like me?
Trish: Part of being
in a Colombian jungle
is being able to
adapt to your situation.
In this case, I am
adapting to my situation
while I'm on lockdown at home.
While I'm waiting for
this to get taken care of,
I figured I'd tackle
my other jungle.
Can't emerge back into
society like a wooly mammoth.
Alright, so I haven't
seen Trish in two years,
but I'm about to give
her a call right now
and we're gonna sit down
and watch our episode together.
♪
Hey! How's it going?
Hey, Jeremy. Hey.
See you're wearing your
little fashion piece there.
I feel naked without
it. Right? I know.
Yeah, we worked
hard for these things.
Heck, yeah, we did. Right?
Well, this will be exciting.
You ready to get
started? I'm ready to go.
I'm always ready to
watch you naked on TV.
Alright, that's
what I like to hear.
Here we go.
I got this fortune cookie
'cause I ate some really
awesome Chinese food.
You will soon join a

through my cookies.
"The naked gods."

I look like such a hippie
in that frame right there.
Yeah, you did. Yeah, you did.
Let's get this wild lizard.
Ow! He bites, too.
Look. Look. He bites me.

Maybe you'd make a good little
hors d'oeuvre, don't you think?
Come on, vicious. Let's
go. It's a pit bull lizard. Ow.

There's no sun.
There's a lot of canopy,
and it's very humid
out here in the jungle.
Jeremy: The number one thing
I'm most nervous about out here
are the fer-de-lance,
and I'm sure there are
some watching me right now,
just licking their lips,
waiting to gobble me up.
It's so overwhelming.
You're taking in the
beauty of the environment,
but you also don't know
what's on the other side.
So every time I watch that,
I kind of relive that experience
and get the butterflies in
my stomach, so to speak.
Well, I have kind of a different
emotional experience with that.
I just look at my hair,
and I can literally feel
my scalp pulling
away from my face
because that humidity
was ridiculous.
♪
Narrator: Rio claro, Colombia,
is one of the most remote
tropical rain
forests in the world.
The region is
named for the river
that has cut a swath
through the limestone cliffs
and left a vast system
of caves in its wake.
Thriving in this dark, wet
canyon are venomous vipers,
ravenous insects,
and ferocious piranha.
But all creatures here are at
the mercy of the river's wrath.
That is so crazy.
It rains almost every day,
and storms can dump 13
inches of water in 24 hours.
17 nights, it rained.
I remember 17 out of
20 nights, it rained on us,
and even though it
might not be raining,
like, at us yet.
But you can hear the river
get louder in the distance.
Like, "man, it's got to
be raining somewhere
because this river is
getting louder and louder."
And you knew
within an hour or two,
you were gonna get that rain.
I'm feeling very
overwhelmed right now.
I think overwhelmed
is an understatement.
The jungle takes no prisoners.
I grew up as a
small-game hunter.
I'm definitely proficient
in making shelter.
I can build lean-tos,
huts in caves.
I love to push my
boundaries, and I like to suffer.
Suffering is growth.
That's my sidekick,
teaspoon, there.
I've climbed mountains from
Europe to Southeast Asia.
I go for the biggest,
the hardest routes,
and I climb solo, so that
adds a dimension of difficulty
that not many people can handle.
Narrator: Jeremy enters
with strong survivalist skills
but is inexperienced at
working with a partner.
He begins with a psr of 6.7.
6.7... I was pretty
happy with that.
I'm a total Jersey girl.
I love getting a
reaction out of people.
Whoo! [ Man laughing ]
Hey, baby! Who's naked?
If somebody pisses me
off, I'm gonna tell them,
"go [bleep] yourself."
I have had survival training.
I survived in the
wilderness of Alaska.
I love bugs and catching snakes.
If I quit, that would
be the worst thing ever.
I'm just too stubborn
to quit anything,
and I will make everybody just
open their mouth and be like,
"where did she come from?"
I'm not just doing this for me.
I have an older son who
struggles with addiction,
and I feel like if I
could just show him
that no matter
what your battles are
and now matter how hard it is,
if you want to
do it, you'll do it.
Narrator: Trish comes to the jungle
with a determination to succeed,
but this environment is the
toughest she's ever faced.
Her initial psr is 6.5.
6.5 is good.
I mean, that's pretty
solid in the middle.
It's not terrible.
It's right at the right spot.
The time to be nervous is over.
The time to get naked is now.
I feel like it's just another
day at the nudie beach.
Alright, let's do this.
I'm gonna go find my Tarzan.
[ Both laugh ]
The butt slap.
Jeremy: The responsibility
for having a partner
in this challenge,
it is scary to me,
and that's something I
escape when I go out alone.
It's scary to think that
I would think of myself
before another person,
and sometimes I
am a little bit selfish.
[ Chuckles ] I don't know
where you come up with that.
Really? Yeah, I don't know.
I'm going to say that your
calling yourself selfish,
it was, like, so far opposite
than what you actually are.
I'm glad the best parts of
me came out, so to speak,
you know, during the challenge.

Hello.
I'm Trish.
I'm Jeremy.
This is my outdoor outfit. Hey.
So... Me, too.
Nice to meet you,
get it out of the way.
If I'm at the nudie beach,
I don't usually go up and
talk to people and hug them.
I'm just kind of
like sunglasses on,
just looking.
See, we don't have nudie
beaches in Oklahoma,
so we have to do all our
skinny dipping at night.
Oh. [ Laughs ]
So this whole broad daylight,
meeting someone
for the first time naked,
that was a little
bit different for me.
You wanted to hug it out,
and that was the best
way to break the ice, I think.
I'm glad you went
in for it full steam.
So, what do you do?
I'm actually a
clothing retailer.
[ Laughs ]
Oh, the irony, right? Yeah.
Well, I'm a bartender,
and I didn't bring
any booze, so sorry about that.
What were you
thinking? [ Laughs ]
Narrator: Trish and Jeremy
are given a fire starter,
a mosquito net, and a machete.
Nice.
And these are my glasses.
There it is. A flashlight.
Wow!
I don't think I've
ever seen a flashlight
on "naked and afraid."
Really? Wow. So...
Is this a good thing
or...? I don't know.
I'm a little bit scared
and a little bit excited.
Alright, well, maybe
we're doing night hunting.
Oh, maybe.
That was super scary.
Like, honestly, pulling that
out, I thought, "what is this?"
I remember.
This looks like where
we're at right here
with these three boulders. Yep.
We're over on the side
with snakes, poison frogs.
I'm gonna say we should
head for that freshwater source,
but if we're all the way
up here, to get down here,
we have to get through this,
and this looks really steep,
so I guess that giant
black hole behind us is...
Oh, wow.
...this black hole over here.
So we're gonna be in the dark.
Maybe that's what you
need your flashlight for.
Sweet. How do you
feel about the dark?
Uh... yeah, I'm
alright, I guess.
Onward to the cave. Oh, god.
I mean, dark cave,
naked strangers, murky water.
That's just the setting
of a horror film right there.
Is it warm like a sauna?
It's chilly.
I like the water, but
when I can see through it.
I've got a bad
feeling about this.
Oh, my god. It's pitch-black.
I think we're gonna
have to use our flashlight.
Oh, my god.
That's deep and wet.
The ceilings of those
caves had to be like,
I don't know, 60, 70 foot,
you know, at
their highest point,
and it was just
echoing everywhere.
Do you remember that
crazy demonic screeching
coming out of there?
Yes, the screaming.
I was like, "oh, my god."
It didn't sound like bats,
so it was like, "what
the heck is this?"
Like, "what is it?" That
really freaked me out.
[ Bats screeching ]
Narrator: Stretching
for miles underground,
these pitch-black caves
could have steep vertical drops.
I didn't feel, like,
claustrophobic in there.
I just felt kind of, like,
pressure to get out quicker
because I knew, like,
if water was coming, we
were gonna be going with it.
So if it started to rise,
we would be trapped in there.
This is definitely the thing
that nightmares are made of.

And they were so loud...
Like, they were so loud,
I couldn't even
hear you talking.
Yeah. From that footage,
it looks like there are
bats at the top of the cage.
Yeah.
But I had never even
heard of these things before,
these oilbirds.
Yeah, me either.
When they poop
all over the cave,
there's like a thousand

It was like a cave of contrasts
because right up next
to smooth, polished walls,
there were, like, these jagged,
spiky rock formations
sticking out.

bit freaked out.

that never ends.
Look at... The
water's picking up.

pointy and deep.

We were going downhill
in more ways than one, for sure.

deep this pool is.
Alright.

bit freaked out.
I thought I had broken
my pelvis or something.
Alright, be very careful
'cause you'll slide
at the very end.
Alright.

I was like a breach
baby coming out,
like, legs up,
like, butt in the air,
like, just all kinds of wrong.
You think there's
anything under this water?
Snakes or...
I'm not even
gonna think about it.
Oh, wait. Think
I see some light.
Oh, my god. Thank god. Whoo!
Yee-ha! Yeah!
I was very excited
to see the light at
the end of the tunnel
until I looked
down at the water.
Was like, "oh, my
god. It's brown."
And then I realized
I still had mouthfuls of
it that I had swallowed
when we went down those slides.
Like, I inadvertently
drank bird-poo water.
That was so awful.
Now, yeah, it looks like
we're out of the
frying pan, into the fire.
You see that white
water down there?
What do you think
about crossing?
I think this is our only
way across, right here.
Are you a good swimmer?
I'm a good swimmer, but I
don't know how deep it is.
It looks pretty deep.
Trish: Rivers that are
this strong and fast-moving
are nothing to joke about.
These are serious waters.
Ah, holy crap.
Gonna be cold, and it's
gonna take our breath away.
And it's gonna use every
ounce of energy we can
to fight the current to
get to the other side.
Oh, my god.
Alright, let's do it.
That current was really strong,
and when we got in and
you could feel immediately,
it just started taking
me downstream,
and I was like, "oh, crap."
Whoo!
You good? Yeah.
We have to really
swim really strong
and, like, at a different angle
to, like, at least get across
to where we needed to be,
and it was powerful.
That water was
really, really powerful.
Yeah, it was rippin' for sure.
That was intense.
Jeremy: Yeah, we're
losing a lot of daylight.
It's gonna be
pitch-black in here.
I do not want to be
in the middle of this
without somewhere
to, like, at least feel safe.
Yeah. Me, too.
I thought, "the only
thing we haven't had to do
is, like, crawl under
barbed wire," you know.
This was, like, the
craziest obstacle course
because we went over
every kind of terrain
you can imagine, you know?
And after, like,
being wet for so long,
like, our feet were soft,
so I was, like, worried that
we're gonna cut our feet open.
Yeah.
Oh, check this out.
Is that freshwater?
It's coming right out
of the side of the rock.
Oh, it's freezing.

any caustic taste or anything.

We really don't have
a whole lot of time
to erect a shelter.
I mean, it's gonna
be dark here in...
Yeah. ...40 minutes,
so put a little bit of debris
down there to lay
on and... We could.
...come up with a better
plan tomorrow, yeah.
Yeah.
We were actually down
in this narrow canyon,
and so we only
had direct sunlight
from about I don't know,
what would you think,
11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.?
Yeah, just about that.
We have, like, no
time to do anything.
Fire's on the agenda,
but right now, it's not
the number-one priority.

fix up the shelter for tonight.

higher of it to go.

as high up as could be safe.

Anything will be
better than last night.

One reason why we picked
that spot to build our shelter at
was the real estate in there
was just like the canyon itself.

Vegetation that was so thick

of work to clear out.
Right.

possible real estate

as much stuff on it now

Yeah.
Trish: Being out here,
battling my mind and
my body at the same time,
makes me understand addiction
and what my son goes through.
There is no respite.
There is not one day off.
How your body just,
like, tears at you all day,
and survival is 24
hours a day, nonstop.
[ Bird squawks ]
Alright, let's keep
going. You ready, Trish?
Always ready. Alright.
♪
What do you think
about looking for berries?
Yeah. I'm down to forage.
Trish: Without food
and the lack of calories,
our bodies are going through
the fat resources quickly.
Look what I found... escargot!
Yeah. He's alive, too.
Good. Not for long!
When you're that hungry,
everything tastes great
except the escargot.
I'm not a fan.
It's the biggest grasshopper
I've ever seen in my life.
Got him. Got him?
Sorry, lady.
Jeremy: In this
point in the challenge,
we've probably taken in
maybe 300 to 500
calories at the most.
[ Gasps ]
Is that a pear? Yeah.
How many are there?
I just see one. Ohh!
You have to think of the
calories we took in yesterday.
Were they as much as
what we burned last night
shivering in the cold?
Thinking about eating these raw.
♪
The raw fish that you ate,
those little guppies that
you swallowed whole...
Fun fact, they stop wiggling...
Like, once they get
down right about here,
they stop flopping
around and wiggling.
Yeah, it's not too bad.
Disgusting.
Hey. Huh?
I see, like, open nuts in here.
Like this. Yeah.
They're all bit open.
Put a few snares up here
and bait it with those nuts.
If it's a rat, that'd
be about right.
Put one here,
right here. Oh, look.
That's a perfect anchor
for the snare, too.
Yeah.
Just kind of banged out
a figure-four deadfall here.
When the bait is
tagged on the end,
the rock will fall on top of it.
You know, a rock on the
head's a rock on the head,
and hopefully, we get a k*ll.
Alright, I'm mildly excited.
That's some, like,
meat. [ Laughs ]
I just want some meat.
So, right now, my
body is the weakest
that it's been this whole time.
Hold on. I got to sit.
I remember that.
Mnh-mnh.
Sorry.
Can't do it.
I remember not
being able to stand up
for, like, a lot of the
interviews and stuff,
and I just got so dizzy.
And, like, I had to sit. Did
you have that problem?
You know, I didn't, but
hearing you say that,
you know, that you
were just getting so weak
you couldn't stand, really
lit a fire under me that,
you know, I was like,
"I got to work harder."
My partner was going down and...
Yeah.
My body was like,
"nope. Checking out."
[ Chuckles ]
♪
Jeremy: Wow, there's a
huge tree, like, swaying.
Look at that big,
white tree back.
[ Gasps ] Oh, man.
God, it was so windy.
I remember, like,
hurricane forces
kind of like building up
like at home, living
on the Jersey shore.
You know when it's
about to come down,
and that was like wind, like,
you better take some cover.
Dude... ah [bleep]
I just got hit with
a stick. Yeah.
Dang, the debris is coming down.
This is not good.
Oh [bleep]
Did you hear that? Yeah.
I almost want to get, like,
a vine and wrap the shelter.
Jeremy: Let's batten down
the hatches for another night.
This place is relentless
as far as what it dishes out.
[ Wood creaking ]
We're hunkered down
in the shelter right now.
There's trees, branches falling.
[ Creaking continues ]
♪
[ Birds chirping ]
Oh, wow.
Dude, our path is a river.
Ooh, yuck!
Trish: Last night, we
had a huge windstorm.
We could hear the
trees just dropping.
One of them was so loud,
it sounded like a shotgun.
Jeremy: They
don't seem that big,
but when they're
falling from 100 feet up,
boy, they'll knock you out.
You hear them tumbling for,
like, a couple
seconds, you know?
Split your wig pretty quick.
When we made the decision
to wrap our shelter
down with vines,
I think that was, like,
some forward thinking.
It was holding together,
and it was strong.
And I thought, "man,
if it can withstand
these torrential rains
and these high winds,
then we're doing pretty good."
Let's go see if the
rat outfoxed us.
Jeremy: The number-one
agenda for today
is to check the
snares that Trish set.
There has been somebody here
because there's
fresh nuts eaten.
Like, chewed it all
up. You see that?
That's so frustrating.
♪
That rat... what a jerk.
[ Laughs ] He was.
Watching it after the challenge,
I was just like, "are
you kidding me?"
The rat's just, like,
picking the food off.
If I ever get the
chance, I'm going back.
I'm going back after him.
I'm bringing my
fork. That's right.
Picked it clean.
It didn't trigger.
Damn it.
Bait it, set it again? Yep.
Tripped.
It tripped, but is there
anybody under it?
[ Bleep ] Nothing.
Got one?
Had one. Look at this.
Chewed the freaking snare off.
[ Bleep ] Damn it!
Trish: I just want to
[bleep] punch somebody.
I'm so mad. I just... no words.
Such a mental/physical
battle. So hard.
[ Exhales sharply ]
I can't imagine if this is like
how an addict feels
trying to recover.
You know, their
brain wants to recover,
but their body is
just, like, fighting it.
Doesn't want to do
anything. You know?
I understand it...
Probably a little better.
Your mind can tell
your body to get up,
and if your body doesn't
want to, it's not going to.
Having a son that's an
addict, I know that's his battle.
Guess this is where
you dig deeper than deep.
It's like, I don't even know
how deep you go in your mind.
It's like you have
to go into your soul.
So when you told me about,
you know, everything that
you were going
through with your son,
I mean, that was
so inspiring to me.
I thought, "wow, you know,"
just this other part of
you, this selflessness
and just this courage
came out that, you know,
even though he'd been
through a lot, I just thought,
"wow, she's really, like,
an exceptional person,"
so that's when I knew
I wouldn't want to do this
challenge with anybody else.
This is my partner right here.
I agree with that.
Like, I definitely
do, like, bonded.
If I'm able to bring that home
and understand his
battle a little bit more,
then perhaps I can
help him fight that battle.
♪
Alright, Jeremy,
let's keep going.
Alright. Let's do this thing.
♪
You know, it's crazy.
I keep thinking about,
the way we came
in, we can't get out.
Can't go back across
that water and cross
through the cave
the opposite way.
I wouldn't swim this.
Heck, no.
So, yeah, looks like
we started at the cave.
We came across.
If we intend on
getting out of here,
we're gonna have to get over
here to this beach, swim across.
[ Sighs ] Oh, god.
We get a heavy rain at
night, we're not gonna be able
to cross that in
the morning, so...
When the hell do we cross?
We're gonna have
to leave a day early.
That looks like a little
cave or something.
We can take shelter in
that cave for the night.
Extraction was
definitely a concern, like,
I remember looking
at you thinking like,
you know, if it rains again,
like, we've seen
how this river
can react to rain.
You know, the rains
weren't all that heavy,
but it was raining
so hard upstream
and it kind of reminded me
of tornado season back home
because you'll have
just a beautiful day
and everything is so serene.
And then that's when the clouds
and all the weather moves in,
and you just can't expect
it sometimes, you know?
Trish: If we don't leave a
day prior to our extraction,
there's a chance that that
river could be impassible.
We decided as a team to
make a two-day extraction.
Narrator: Trish and Jeremy's
extraction point is five miles away.
Their plan is to
cross the rio claro,
cut through the jungle
with its predatory snakes
to avoid miles of winding river
and find shelter for the night.
They'll then rejoin the
river at their extraction point.
I predict a little bit
of sleep, not a lot.
Yeah.

Last time I have to
climb out of that thing.
River sounds pretty loud.
Sounds like it's
ripping out there.
Jeremy: Trish is
hanging in there.
I know she's not wild
about the potential swim
we've got coming
up to cross the river.
I just hope I can, you
know, be there for her,
get her through that.
Well, guess this is goodbye.
♪
Oh, boy. We're in trouble.
Wow. Super high. Yeah, it is.
What do you think?
So, here's an idea.
See how that current's funneled
through those rocks there
and it narrows?
What if we got out on
the edge of that rock
and then just tried to jump
as much of it as we could?
Don't really like cliff jumping.
I don't like...
I don't like jumping like that.
I don't like cold water.
I knew the river was
cold and that I had to jump
into the cold river
from a high rock.

We'll jump together.
Do it together?

On the count of three?
Alright.
Three, two, one!

fear jumping off that cliff,
but once I hit the
water, it was just like,
"kick and get to
the other side,"

We didn't get dragged
downstream from this beast of a river

the last thing I
wanted to do out here.
Yeah? You did it, though.
Look at that. You k*lled it.

that I had my first
bath in three weeks.
That was nice. We
both got freshened up.

They better have
food in that raft...
Or else somebody's
going to get hurt."
I think we were on
the same wavelength.
I'm pretty sure.
We did it, 21 days.
Yeah, buddy. [ Laughs ]
Coming into the challenge,
I thought I knew what it
was about, and I had no idea.
The river washed
all that downstream.
And it's essential... you
have to work with your partner.
Did it! I'm ready.
Let's saddle up.
I think the thing that I've
learned most from this,
it's okay to be a team player
and to come out
smiling with my partner.
That's the biggest
victory for me, right there.
Exactly.
Narrator: Jeremy escapes
rio claro having lost 24 pounds.
His psr rises to 7.4.
Trish lost a total of 25 pounds
and leaves the jungle
behind also with a psr of 7.4.
I think a psr of 7.4 is accurate
with what we were given...
The conditions, the location.
So I think that's a pretty
accurate assessment.
I think I can I can stick
with a 7.4 for this time.
Until next time.
Next time, you're
gonna get like 8.4.

next time. [ Chuckles ]
