04x02 - Rumble in the Jungle

[bunniefuu]

[ thunder rumbles, rainfall ]

Christina: Oh, god.

narrator: One man
and one woman...

[ screams ]

...Alone for 21 days...

Aah!

I cut myself up
pretty good here.

Narrator: ...To face the
most primal survival challenge

of their lives.

Man: Mmm -- rat kabobs.

They have no clothes,
no food, no water...

Only their skills...

Oh, god, that [bleep] hurts.

...And their will to survive...

Whoo-hoo!

...Naked and afraid.

Christina: [ whimpering ]
I'm just so hungry and tired.

I don't know if you can
see that in the background,

but I'm preparing watching
a little "naked and afraid"

just to get in the mood.

Okay, so we're at the airport

saying my goodbyes
to my daughter.

Mm! Have fun.

I will!

Mwah!

Oh, hi. I'm getting
my shots now, so...

It's going in there.

I thought it would be a little
bit more -- I don't know --

emotional leaving my family
for, you know, a month, 30 days,

but I'm very, very excited.

Yeah!

So this is the third...

Nurse: And
final. ...And final --

[ gasps ] don't cry!

I'm definitely going to make
the mexican jungle my b*tch...

And I'm gonna spank that
a*s all the way for 21 days.

My name is christina, I
am from louisville, kentucky,

and I pride myself on being
a pretty tough customer.

Growing up poor,

if I wanted to eat, I would
have to hunt it myself.

Deer, rabbits, squirrel,
frog legs, snake --

you name it, I can hunt it.

And now I'm here to show my
daughter that being a woman

doesn't mean you
can't be a badass.

I got this, no
problem whatsoever.

Steve: At this point,

I don't know whether to be
nervous, whether to be excited.

My name is steve, I'm
from los angeles, california,

and I'm a life coach.

I love helping people live
more fulfilled and confident lives,

and I just have a very
spiritual connection to nature,

especially snakes.

I've had them as
pets my whole life.

I think right now I'm most
nervous about the bugs,

because they have been
nasty since I've been out here.

Christina: I have an
abundance of confidence

and I'm completely comfortable

sleeping next to
someone that I don't know.

I've done it before.

All right, let's do this.

Steve: Really hope

that my partner is easygoing
and likes to joke around,

because as much pain
as we're gonna go through,

I'm going to need all
of their positive energy

to get through this.

Now it's a party.

Christina: Hey! Hello!

How's it going? Good.

I'm christina. Christina.

Steve. Nice to meet you.
Steve, nice to meet you.

You excited? I am
more than excited.

I've been excited to
meet you. I know, me too.

So where you from?
Louisville, kentucky.

Wow. Lots of woods
and forests there?

Oh, absolutely, yeah.

I'm from massachusetts.
I live in l.A. Now.

Okay, nice.

L.A.'s awesome. Love it.

It's different and we
are not in l.A. Anymore.

Narrator: This rarely
traveled area o

contains some of mexico's most
dense and mountainous jungles

infested with
disease-carrying mosquitos

and armies of
fearless fire ants.

Three miles to the northeast

lies several large
lakes, or cenotes,

which could provide a safe
camp and steady water source,

but they are also home
to 200-pound caiman,

giant red-tailed boas,

and highly aggressive
howler monkeys,

unaccustomed to the
presence of humans.

That would be the mountains.

And then we're headed
over to this water.

Excellent.

Lots of water --
which means what?

Fishing, swimming... Exactly.

...Bathing, drinking.

I like it all. Yes.

All right. Let's
do it. Let's go.

[ sighs ] how hot does it get in
kentucky during the summer?

108, 110 degrees. Really?

Mm-hmm. Damn.

So I'm used to the elements.
I'm a pretty good hunter.

We're definitely gonna
be eating, for sure.

I believe it.

I pretty much feel like I
have something constantly,

like, crawling on
my butt right now.

If you want hang a
minute, I can check for you.

[ chuckles ] no, it's --

nothing's inappropriate
around me, just to let you know.

That's fair -- calls
'em like she sees 'em.

I was really excited
to meet christina.

She's got a great sense of
humor and she seems tough.

So two thumbs up for christina.

[ sighs ]

it's getting a little
steeper, so be careful.

Oh, my goodness,
this is straight up.

Yeah. Be careful.
There's a ton of thorns.

Christina: Steve seems
very nice and very calm.

And I am very vocal.
I have zero filter.

Man, another thorn
just went in my foot.

[bleep]

so I think we're going
to get along really well.

Oh [bleep]

fire ants everywhere!

You good?

Yeah, little [bleep]

this is an angry, angry forest.

Narrator: Although
this is christina's

first survival experience
in a jungle setting,

her strength and
mastery of a wide range

of hunting and trapping
techniques has earned her

a starting primitive
survival rating, or psr, of 6.4.

Steve's years of backcountry
survival experience

and excellent interpersonal
skills as a life coach

set his psr at 7.2.

Wow. This is amazing.

Yeah, that looks pretty sweet.

[ grunts ]

this is gorgeous.
That looks beautiful.

[ sighs ] see, that's our
home down there for 21 days.

Steve: It just looks like
a little tropical paradise,

so hopefully it proves
to be exactly that.

Those trees are nasty,
and there's tons of 'em.

The water's clear as day.

This is great.

Do we want to make our
camp away from the water,

because we'll be a
little bit further away

from potential
mosquitos and any animal

that decides it wants to
come and drink tonight?

Absolutely.

[ monkeys growl ]

christina: We have monkeys.

Hello, monkey!
Bring me a banana!

[ monkeys screech ]

I smell something burning.

Christina: After a long hike
into the jungle, we're exhausted

and now I'm really thirsty
and we have no water.

Everything is so wet right now.

Want to give it a
shot for a second?

Narrator: The fire starter is
embedded with magnesium

that produces a spark
when scraped with metal,

but the number
of strikes is limited.

Steve: It's just so
humid out here,

and these fire starters
can wear down really fast.

If that goes, we
are...Not in good shape.

Oh, great. What?

There's like 100
bats flying around.

Oh, yeah. They're
definitely bats.

Good news -- they eat bugs.

They're looking
pretty aggressive.

I just don't want
to get bit by one.

I do not want to get rabies.

Steve: I think we've
got a ton of monkeys

swinging around our
whole entire camp right now.

[ sighs ]

we got zero sleep.

So we're both so drained
and extremely dehydrated.

[ sighs ]

my finger's locking up.

There's no water in my muscles

and it's literally just freezing
up when I hold something tight.

Christina: We got to
get this [bleep] going.

It's like a have-to situation.

[ sighs ]

christina: Every time we
strike this thing could be the last.

So keeping my fingers crossed.

You got this, bro.
Oh, baby, come on.

Come on.

Lookit.

No, keep it over, keep
it over, keep it over.

We have fire in the jungle!

[ laughs ]

so today, we attempted
to make fire again,

and we got it started.

So we have a fire!

Now we can drink lots of water.

We have fire!

This bought us life.

Now the goal is not losing it.

Dude, my belly's
growling so loud.

Steve: My belly
hasn't growled at all.

Mine says, "water before food."

christina: I'm going to
make a deadfall trap.

This actually
works really great...

No, I'm sure it does.

...With, like,
squirrel and rabbits.

Animal comes in, eats,
hits it, falls down, boom.

Animal's dead, I
come, find breakfast!

Now, this is very tedious.

You have to get just
right so it doesn't fall.

I'm pretty confident I can
catch something in this jungle,

because I am,
like, really hungry,

and I know my hunting skills.

And I know if I come
across something,

I will k*ll it --
straight up will k*ll it.

I don't care what it
takes, I'm gonna k*ll it.

Good to go?

I hope so.

Me too. I'm gonna
catch some fish.

Sweet.

[ sighs ] look at that.

I can't see its tail, but it
looks like a red-tailed boa.

I love animals -- I love
animals -- but I am hungry,

and I'm gonna be way
more hungry in a few days

if we don't get something, so...

So excited.

Part of me hopes
I don't catch it.

The other part
of me knows I will.

[ sighs ]

[ snake hisses ]

oh, that's good.

[ snake hisses ] come
on, buddy. Come on.

[bleep]

heads up.

[ snake hisses ]

[bleep]

heads up, heads up, heads up.

Hey, christina...

Christina: Yo!

...Can you come here?

[ sighs ] I got food.

[ sighs ] it's
just a little baby.

That is awesome.

Yeah. I just don't
even want to k*ll him.

[ chuckles ] I want to eat him.

Christina: I don't know why
steve doesn't want to k*ll that s

he's way more
sensitive than I am.

Bring his meaty a*s up here.

We're both in survival mode,
and any food that we can get,

it really needs to
go in our tummies.

He's so pretty.

I'm gonna go get
the fire going, okay?

Eh...

Little baby...I'm sorry.

[ breathing deeply ]

I do not like doing that.
That is not okay with me.

But...I've got some food,

and I've got his
blood dripping on me.

I guess I deserve that.

I really just love snakes,

and it hurts to have had to
k*ll that, but I can't pass up food.

I chose to do this, I'm
here, and I'm surviving.

We've got to gut that
b*tch. Oh, look at that meat.

It's good. It's a
lot of good meat.

And we should be able
to just peel it back now.

It should peel back, yeah.

It should come off real clean,
with the guts and everything.

Yeah.

Narrator: A mature boa
can grow up to 10 feet

and weigh 50 pounds.

At just 3 pounds, this snake
will provide the survivalists

about 180 calories each, or
the equivalent of two eggs.

Ay-yay-yay- yay-yay-yay-yay!

[ monkey growls ]

it's still moving, steve.
That's just, like, wicked.

Like a shish kebab.

Good to go.

Hmm. You're so
sad. That's so cute.

I did not want
to k*ll that snake,

but it's not an option
when you're out here.

Having food whenever
you can find it is key.

What are we gonna do
for the rest of the day?

Finish our... ...Shelter.

We discussed a couple
of different shelters,

and we thought a
teepee would be great,

'cause it's actually
pretty mobile.

So if we needed to move
it, we could easily pick it up

and move it back to
a different location.

Do we look, like,
super rich right now?

[ thunder rumbles, rainfall ]

yeah, don't put
quite as many. Here.

I just want to cover it.

We'll just keep one
big one in the middle.

Christina: In the middle
of building our shelter,

it just started downpouring.

So of course
everything inside is wet.

So much for our bed being dry.

Steve: We just
need to keep this fire.

We got a long night.

[ thunder crashes ]

and it's raining,
and it's cold, it's wet,

and the mosquitos are, like,
totally [bleep] with us tonight.

She's getting bit
up. I'm getting bit up.

Holy [bleep] that hurts.

Christina: Oh, my god.

These b*tches bite you over
in the same spot every time.

Oh, god, this hurts.

Mm-hmm.

It's itching so bad.

I'm so tired right now.

You and me both.

I can't sleep.

[ sighs ] I know.

First night, the bats

were helping us get the
mosquitoes out of the way.

But since we've got
the fire, they took off.

So we had to fend for
ourselves with the mosquitoes.

If we keep the mosquitoes
out of here tonight,

we'll sleep like babies.

Christina: The jungle
has definitely beat my a*s.

So I was talking some
mad [bleep] last night.

Steve remained calm.

He was just like, "you got
to stop being so negative."

and I'm like, "man [bleep] you.

You be positive. I'm
gonna be realistic.

I'm, like, dying over here."

oh, god.

This is a nightmare.

Steve: Christina -- I can't
think of how many times

she's screamed like,
"ow," or, "oh, I'm done."

she likes to vocalize when
something's wrong, and I don't,

because I think it adds
negativity to the situation.

You know, if it wasn't
for the mosquitoes,

it would have been awesome.

The mosquitoes are awful.

Christina: You know, when you
raise a teenage daughter alone,

you don't have the luxury

to sit around and
feel sorry for yourself.

Instead, I'm gonna get out,

and I'm gonna do
something about my situation.

It's a termite's nest.

Narrator: Since termites contain
trace amounts of nepthalene,

a chemical used for fumigation,

burning the nest sometimes
acts as a natural insect repellant.

Christina: This nest is a
really good find, but I hav

not actually the water.
I'm a great swimmer.

I have a fear of what's
underneath the water

because I can't see it.

Aah!

Something bit me.

This is a little nerve-racking.

[ chuckles ] that's
some [bleep] right there.

I am becoming a
jungle queen fo' sure.

Jane ain't got [bleep] on me.

[ insects buzzing ]

damn it.

Steve: Yeah, there's
just tons of them.

Once again, the mosquitoes
are striking in full force.

They have been all night.

Oh, my god.

I would never wish
this on anyone.

The bug bites
alone is worth [bleep]

ow.

Ow!

[ insects buzzing ]

[ insects buzzing ]

christina: Ow. Ow!

The jungle sucks.

I would never wish
this on anyone.

The bug bites
alone is worth [bleep]

tapping the [bleep] out.

[ sniffles ]

another sleepless night because

[voice breaking] the mosquitoes

are completely
devouring my body.

And it's just emotionally
breaking me down.

So, I always make things better.

That's what single
moms do, you know?

And I can't.

[ groans ]

god, I can't believe I
cried so much today.

Day ain't over yet.

Yeah, and this is
like the most I've cried

in probably 15
years. I fully believe it.

When I tell my daughter
how much I cried,

she's gonna probably flip out,
'cause she's never seen me cry.

It's healthy to cry.
Get it out. Let it go.

Just remember why you're here.

Steve: Part of my job is to
coach people on confidence

and, you know, not giving up

and not worry about
what's going wrong

and think about
what can go right.

God, that was so miserable.

Let's not think that way.
Just got to stay strong.

Christina: Steve definitely has
patience, and I appreciate that,

but it's really hard.

It's really hard

when you don't have the food
in your system and the sleep.

I think one of the
reasons I'm so emotional

is I haven't eaten
anything since that snake.

Today, it is going
to be food priority.

[ sighs ] checking my trap.

Ah!

Something set it off,

but I don't think they're
interested in the meat.

I'm gonna reset this bad boy.

You put me in, you
know, eastern kentucky,

and I will k*ll anything
that's in front of me,

but this jungle is so hard.

Steve: I'm definitely feeling
the effects of not sleeping,

and I don't feel
as sharp mentally.

But if we get a little
food in our system,

even if I don't sleep, I feel
like I can still push through.

Made this fish trap.

I'm gonna try setting it
in a shallow spot here

and if it works,

set it in a deeper spot
with a little longer cord.

Christina: Ow!
Damn it. These [bleep]

yes. Okay.

Last night

was incrementally worse
than the previous seven nights

due to, well, lack of sleep.

All night long, all she did
was b*tch and moan and yell

about the mosquitoes,
which were biting me, as well.

It's pretty frustrating
when someone

that's going through the
exact same thing as you

just wants to talk about
how miserable it is.

So, I was gonna hang
out outside for the fire

[sighs] so I wouldn't get
bit by mosquitoes and fleas.

It's not working.

I'm so exhausted.

I got mud all over me.

It's just so cold, though.

Oh [bleep]

oh, geez.

Man, ow, ow, ow!

Welcome to my rock.

Every day, I like
to start off here,

with positive thoughts
and positive vibes,

refocus after the evenings,

because -- I'm gonna
be perfectly honest --

they're [bleep] miserable.

And it's not the
jungle. It's my partner.

Every night, I have to deal
with her incessant complaining.

I just hate dealing with this,

'cause it's cold and
it's wet and it sucks.

[ sighs ] this sucks.

Guess what. I don't need that.

The rain messes with
our shelter, the firewood.

It's just -- it's exhausting
and depressing.

Steve: In normal life,
I help coach people,

I help build people up, and
I'm very accommodating.

[ sighs ] oh, my
god. I'm so hungry.

Yeah.

But at this point, my
patience is really wearing thin.

Today, we're building
a raised platform

so that we can get
off of the ground

and hopefully
away from the bugs.

If we don't, we will probably
not be happy tomorrow,

or the next day, or
the next nine days.

I will be so happy if the
bugs do not get on us tonight.

I will, too. I don't even want
to think about it right now.

It feels so good right now
just to lay down off the ground.

Uh...

What?

This -- I don't
know, I don't know.

I don't know. This
is gonna hurt my a*s.

You've got the more comfy side,

'cause yours has a
bigger gap in the middle.

[ sighs ]

oh, and it's so downhill!

[ thunder rumbles, rainfall ]

[ scoffs ]

[ thunder crashes ]

[ thunder rumbles, rainfall ]

steve: Last night was
[bleep] horrendous.

I pride myself on
patience, but it is gone.

[ sighs ]

christina: I can give a
[bleep] if he's mad, seriously.

I'm just gonna try not to
talk to him as much as I can.

The only words I'm
gonna be sharing with him

is if it's something about
surviving, and that's it.

[ monkey hooting ]

[ insects buzzing ]

[ sighs ]

last night, after...Whatever
yesterday was, she was quiet.

And guess who
slept well. This guy.

I feel so much better
than I did yesterday.

It worked out really well.

I think I have a little
extra energy today.

Christina: This morning,
after waking up, I realize that,

you know, we just
both need to be adults.

[ sighs ]

do you want water?

I do.

I think it would be a good idea.

All right.

Is your stomach not painful?

Yeah. I just try to
ignore it and block it.

[ sighs ] I don't really
have a stomach anymore.

I can't to do that.

I know.

It's like such sharp
pains right now,

like somebody's stabbing me.

I didn't do it.

I know.

Steve: To be honest,

this challenge would
probably be easier on my own,

but it's not really me

to just sit back and
watch someone else fail.

So I will do everything I can
to try to help her at this point,

'cause that's what I do.

I'm cutting into the bayal here.

The center has kind of got
some of, I guess, sugar properties.

So we're getting a
little sugar out of it.

I got the good part
of the bayal plant.

I finally cut enough of them
down and cut my fingers enough

that I found the good part.

Would you like to try
a piece? It's delicious.

Yay. Yes.

I'm starving.

Here.

Thank you.

Isn't it delicious?

Mm-hmm.

Bayal plant --

it's been about the best food
source I've found so far here.

Christina: I so appreciate
that he did that for both of us.

I hope I can make the next
five days and get out of here.

Oh, it's so hard, though.

Mmm.

That was really good.

[ thunder rumbles ]

[ thunder crashes, rainfall ]

[ groans ]

[bleep]

son of a b*tch.

Yeah. [ sighs ]

[bleep]

oh, my gosh. This sucks.

[ sniffles ]

what's going on?

It's just I'm hungry.

I just really want to leave.

I can't do this anymore.

Why do you want
to leave right now?

[ voice breaking ] I'm
just so hungry and tired.

I don't want to trek
out of here by myself.

That'd be boring.

I don't want to sleep
on the floor anymore.

I just want to go.

Would you want me to leave you?

No. No.

Don't you think you're
pretty incredibly strong

for making it to this point?

I just can't do this anymore.

If you get food,
can you make it?

I think if I get
food, I can make it.

Can we make a deal?

If I can catch food
in the next 24 hours.

I'm gonna go try
right now. Is that fair?

Yeah.

Lo and behold, there is no fish.

Oh, my god.

I just stumbled
across a coral snake.

Super, super deadly venomous.

They have lots of little teeth,

and they inject a
bunch of venom,

and they bite multiple times.

There she is.

Damn. Too fast. She's gone.

Christina: Not really proud
of myself at all right now.

I really want to make
it through the 21 days.

I want to do it for me,
my daughter, my family.

I just don't know if I can.

[ sighs ]

I can't express
how difficult this is

to anybody who thinks
that it's easy, 'cause it's not.

It's really [bleep] hard.

A little food right now
would be like a miracle.

And I'm trying to
stay strong for her,

and I'm trying to
stay strong for myself.

[ voice breaking ] 'cause
this is beyond anything.

Narrator: Before beginning

their 21-day challenge in the
mexican jungles of quintana roo,

steve and christina
were both given

a primitive survival
rating, or psr.

Christina has struggled mightily

with lack of food and
mosquito-filled nights

and is on the
verge of tapping out.

[ voice breaking ] I'm
just so hungry and tired.

I just really want to leave.

Despite his frustration
and significant lack of sleep,

steve has taken it upon himself

to find the food they need
to stay in the challenge

but is on the brink of collapse.

[ sighs ]

a little food right now
would be like a miracle.

[ voice breaking ] 'cause
this is beyond anything

that I could have ever
thought I would possibly do

physically,
mentally, emotionally.

I've been trying to help
somebody else along the way.

It's tough. It's really tough.

Steve: Listen.
Did you hear that?

Christina: What is it?

I have no clue.

Can't see anything.

Oh, my god.

Holy [bleep]

[ shouts indistinctly ]

I got it.

So, steve just caught two
toads! And we're starving!

I'm sorry. I love these little
guys, but they're dinner.

I'm sorry. I really
feel bad, too.

Don't. Cut their heads
off, and let's do it.

You're gonna have to do it.

Steve is a reptile guy.

He doesn't want to
do it, so I'm gonna do it.

Cut their eight legs off
and eat. Ooh, I can't wait.

There's one.

Yep. Got him.

I can't even tell you how
excited I am right now,

just the meat
hanging off of them.

I think once these get
in my tummy, I mud up,

I'll go right to sleep. Good.

Oh, so good.

Mm-hmm.

Game changer, big-time.

Christina: That was
eight toad legs that

the enthusiasm
and just happiness

that I produced last night just
from that, it was just amazing.

Nothing bothered us. Didn't care
if the mosquitoes were swarming.

We just had our
best dinner ever.

Wow. That's a lot of firewood.

Yeah. I've been
collecting this morning.

I'm gonna break it all down,

collect some more
throughout the day.

Wow.

I love the energy.

I love the flip of the
switch that she just had.

It was just so amazing.

And it really gave me hope

that we were gonna make it
through this together again.

I just thought I was
such a hardcore b*tch,

and then I come
in here, and now,

just the emotions
that I'm feeling --

you know what? You
know what's crazy?

Is that when I left my child and
my parents before coming here,

I didn't shed one tear, and
I was actually proud of that.

Most people are. That's
the way we're brought up.

Crying shows weakness.
But crying's not weakness.

Now you've humbled
yourself a little bit.

You realize you're not quite
as hard as you wanted to be

and you actually have
that compassionate side.

I'm a 38-year-old woman

that is just now getting in
touch with her emotions.

It's pretty...
Pretty interesting.

You have, like, kicked a*s
while you've been out here,

and you have uplifted me
and done so much for me.

Thank you.

Steve: I think I
have a partner back.

I have to pee. Me too.

How far are we going to pee?

Right here.

I'm going right here.

Christina: Where are you, then?

And go.

[ urinating ]

[ laughs ]

oh, my god. I am the winner.

[ laughs ] that's the
[bleep] right there.

Christina: Are you
packed? Steve: Yeah.

Ready to put this out? Yes.

Goodbye.

Put it out. I'm ready to go.

It is extraction day.

A little bit nervous because
it's a steep, steep climb,

and it's gonna take some energy

to get through all
of the dense jungle,

and we're going through
some uncharted territory.

Let's see what we have here.

We're gonna walk down,
go up around this ridge,

and take a little
swim. That's the deal.

Okay, let's do this. Let's go.

To reach their extraction point,

steve and christina
must head west

on a treacherous, four-mile hike

through mountainous
jungle terrain to this lake,

and then swim half a mile
to safety on the other side.

Ow [bleep]

hanging in there?

[ sighs ]

looks like we're
going down, darling.

Oh [bleep]

you all right?

Yeah. Just watch
out for the rocks.

Almost to the water, I hope.

It's gonna be so freaky.

Eh, it will be fine.

I don't like to get
into things I can't see.

I'll go first, and that way,
if anything wants to eat us,

it will eat me first,
and you'll be fine.

The crocodiles always
get the second person.

[ monkey hooting ]

oh, wow.

Oh.

Oh [bleep]

this looks scary.

Got enough juice to
swim? I sure hope so.

Good.

It looks like

little slide marks from
where a crocodile went in.

[ sarcastically ] great.

There is nothing that
is going to stop me

from getting the
[bleep] out of here.

Let's do it.

Steve: Delicious.

Oh, yeah. I can't see
anything underneath me.

Can you just swim?

G-give me -- don't push me!

Just swim, just swim.

If you want to go in front
of me and swim, that's fine.

Oh [bleep]

what is this stuff?

I'm already out of juice.

You got enough gas in the tank?

I don't know.

This way, girl.

I'm barely making it, though.

Just come to me.

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

All we need to do is push a
little further and we're there.

We're at the end
of the marathon.

No one quits on mile 25.
You push, and you push hard.

[ grunts ]

oh [bleep]

come here.

Get in the sun.

Looks like that's us.

Oh, we did it!

This has definitely been
a life-changing experience.

There's no question
about it. Oh [bleep]

I thought the jungle was
gonna be the difficult part,

but it was really trying to
partner and live with someone

in this environment.
It's our ride!

My patience was tested,
my energy levels were tested,

my sleep deprivation was tested,

and I really think that that's
why we were put together.

I think I needed
to be here for her,

and I think she needed
to be here to remind me

that I'm on the right
path and I'm doing the ri

whoo! Give me five.

Christina: The jungle
really kicked my a*s.

[ voice breaking ] this is the
hardest thing I've ever done in my life,

and I can reach down now

and know that it's
okay to show emotion,

and it just opens up so
many doors in my real life.

Mwah!

I cannot wait to share this
experience with my daughter

and just let her know.

It is amazing what
you can actually do

when you set your mind to it.

[bleep] jungle.

[ laughs ]

narrator: After struggling to
apply her hunting skills for 21 d

christina lost a
total of 30 pounds.

She leaned significantly
on her partner for support...

[ voice breaking ] I just
can't do this anymore.

...But ultimately
toughed it out.

As a result, her psr slightly
rises from a 6.4 to a 6.7.

Steve lost 14% of his muscle
mass and a total of 36 pounds

and showed significant
mental and physical stamina

in providing for both
himself and his partner.

Isn't it delicious? Mm-hmm.

His psr increases
from a 7.2 to a 7.9.

Both ultimately proved

they have what it takes to
survive "naked and afraid."

it's a beautiful
day in kentucky.

I'm just so glad to be
here with my daughter.

I'm so excited, glad to be home.

It was a great
experience in the jungle.

I do not miss it at all.

This is me in bed with
blankets and pillows...

And no mosquitoes.
