04x07 - Colombian Conflict

[bunniefuu]

[ thunder rumbles ]

[ frog croaking ]

this is really
pushing my limits.

No matter how bad it
gets, marines don't quit.

We're gonna see
how true that is.

[ water splashing ]

what is that?

Hold on. Stay there.

[bleep] aah!

Narrator: For the next 21 days,
two experienced survivalists

put their skills to
the ultimate test.

They have no clothes,
no food, no water.

And they have no choice
but to work together

to survive in the remote
jungle of colombia...

charlie: Ah [bleep] I'm
bleeding pretty good.

All right, guys. I'm
gonna get out of here.

Take care, son.

Come back as good
as you look now.

I'll try. I'll try.
God bless you.

All right. Thank you.

We'll be praying
for you. Love you.

So long. I'll see you
when I get back, all right?

Take care.

It starts now.

Charlie: I'm in the
colombian jungle.

This is absolutely insane.

I'm not scared about
what I'm seeing,

but I'm concerned, for sure.

My name's charlie.

I'm a professional builder.

I'm a no-holds-barred,
in-your-face,

tell-it-like-it-is new yorker.

This jungle literally
slaps you in the face.

I'm not even off the truck yet,

and it's already
made me its b*tch.

I learned my survival
techniques in the marine corps.

I spent time in the
philippines and in panama

and learned how to survive
in the jungles of south america.

I'm doing this to
prove to myself

that I have the discipline.

The marine corps has taught me

that you work through
adversity and pain,

and you'll succeed if
you work hard enough.

Just got real.

I consider myself a
take-charge kind of guy.

So, I hope my
partner's able to be

somebody that
can take direction.

And together, we'll succeed.

Brooklyn comes to columbia.

Danielle: I'm seeing
a lot of awesome trees

that I would love to climb.

My name is danielle.

I'm a wilderness e.M.T.,

and I volunteer for a
search-and-rescue team.

I believe in respecting nature,
respecting any living creature,

and, most of all,
respecting the environment.

I've been a vegetarian

since I was about
four or five years old.

I've never k*lled an animal.

I've never eaten meat
before, so I hope my partner

doesn't see me being
vegetarian as a weakness.

I may be young, but I'm
very confident in my skills,

so I hope my
partner respects that.

I don't like being
told what to do.

Here we go.

How you doing?

Hi. I'm charlie.

Danielle. So nice to meet you.

Fancy meeting you
in a colombian jungle.

Yeah, of course. A
little awkward, right?

Yeah, it is. Definitely. It is.

You do this often?

No, I can't say that I do,

but I'm excited to
actually feel the elements

we're going to be
experiencing, so...

Oh, we're gonna feel
the elements, all right.

I guarantee that.

I'm not quitting.

I'm not quitting, either.

I won't let you. There's no way.

I won't let you quit.

Okay, I like that. Thank you.

You ready? Yeah, I'm ready.

Narrator: Charlie and
dani have been inserted

10 miles from the
caribbean coast

in northern colombia's
mendeuaca river valley,

where they hope to find a
water source and campsite

along one of the many
tributary streams before nightfall,

but the thick, untamed jungle,

combined with extreme
heat and humidity,

make travel through
this desolate region

exceedingly difficult,

and an encounter with one of
the area's many venomous snakes,

poisonous frogs, or
10-foot-long spectacled caiman

could be disastrous.

I'm a builder. I
build buildings.

That's why shelter's
gonna be not a problem.

Yeah, that's awesome.

Are you experienced with using

any kind of tropical
building materials?

Bamboo or any of that?

I was a marine,

and I was trained in
the jungles of panama,

not far from here.

Okay.

So I'm a jungle-survival expert.

Danielle: I do sense that

charlie definitely
likes to be in charge,

he likes to take
control of things.

We just got to stop
for one second.

You know what
drives me nuts, dani?

What? The mosquitos.

That little buzzing
sound drives me insane.

If I can't hear it, it don't
bother me no more.

All right.

So, what are the skills
you think you're gonna bring

to this -- the jungle here?

What are you good at?

Fire, shelter building,
making cordage.

I'll be able to set traps, hunt,

so you get the fire started,
I'll get something to put on it.

There is one other thing
you should know about me.

I'm a vegetarian.

I've been vegetarian
for the past 21 years.

You don't eat meat?

No. No food with faces.

And are you planning
on being that way here?

Yes. Well, that's a challenge.

Charlie: Dani's a vegetarian.

I'll support her.
She's my teammate.

But I'm not gonna stop eating

on account of her
being a vegetarian

if, for no other reason,

I need my energy
to carry her out.

Narrator: Before
accepting the challenge,

dani and charlie
were each assigned

a primitive survival
rating, or psr.

Dani's work as a wilderness
e.M.T. Earned her high marks,

but her vegetarian eating habits
could limit her protein intake

and negatively
impact her stamina.

Dani scores a psr of 6.9.

Decades of military
training have provided charlie

with extensive skills
and experience,

but his headstrong
personality could lead

to unnecessarily risk
taking and team conflict.

He scores a psr of 7.2.

Our experts will
reevaluate their psrs

at the end of the
21-day challenge.

So, we can see the river.

We must be getting closer, dani.

Maybe you get some cordage,
and I'll get some beams,

and we can start
shelter around here.

I was thinking the same thing.

I guess we're home. Yeah.

We got some bamboo here, dani!

You got some up there?

Right there. See it?

Charlie: I brought a khukuri
to use as my survival item.

It's basically a curved
machete. I can hack with it.

I can k*ll with it.

I can do so many things with it.

Come on, baby.

Be careful. Ow!

There we go.

This is two pieces right here.

Can you drag that out?
I'll go cut another one.

Okay.

Is there any on
the ground already?

No.

Danielle: I can tell charlie's
a really hard worker,

but he seems a
little reckless to me.

Look at that!

You good?

That was somewhat uncomfortable.

The heat, humidity -- it
really takes its toll on you.

Wow. I can't even walk.

This is just the first day.

All right, we're
gonna need cordage.

You used a lot of your energy
chopping down that bamboo.

You should sit down and relax.

I got a lot more of these things
to get, and it's getting dark.

Yeah, but a little
break won't hurt.

Well, we're running out
of daylight, that's for sure.

I don't like that.

Danielle: I'm a
wilderness e.M.T.

I recognize the
signs of dehydration.

I can see it in charlie.

Everything's cramping up.

I think he definitely wants

to maintain the man's
role in this situation,

and I think that's part

of the macho-man persona
that he has going on.

All right, dani.

I know we don't want
to sit on the ground,

but you know what?

But it could be way worse.

It ain't the end of the world,

and we'll make this
shelter real tomorrow

when I have some water in me.

We'll have water tonight.

Nice!

Oh!

We got fire!

Yeah. Good girl.

Good girl. Good job.

Charlie: Dani's all right.

Man, she's got some skills.

She knows her stuff.

Bamboo is such a
great resource to have.

There you go.

All you have to do
is pour the water in

and then just
sit it in your fire.

I'm feeling like I'm
gonna be happy soon.

Oh, god.

[ chuckles ]

oh, that is beautiful.

Well, that little bit
of water helped a lot.

Mm-hmm.

We need more than that to
sustain ourselves, though.

[ monkeys howling ]

[ monkeys howling ]

not getting much sleep tonight.

[ scraping ]

[ monkeys howling ]

charlie: Last night was nuts.

Howler monkeys are
going crazy out in the jungle.

I have a machete ready to go.

Anything comes near us,
it's got a fight on its hands.

Morning here on day 2.

We slept in the sand,
just because the weather --

ah! [bleep] me!

The weather is...

Danielle: Hold pressure
on it and don't let go.

Bleeding a lot.

That really -- that
was sharp, man.

So you need to hold
that direct pressure on it

so your blood clots.

It's okay.

I can get a bandage together.

We'll just have to use
a leaf or something.

If I need it, I'll come
to you. I'm good.

You're not listening
to what I tell you to do.

That is true.

I don't want a bandage
on. I'm fine. Really.

Men don't use bandages
if they don't have to.

What, are men
invincible from infection?

Absolutely.

Danielle: A cut that deep,

you can't stay here
and just ignore it

like the little cuts he has
on the rest of his body.

Doing something
like that is a big risk.

Infection could take
him out of this challenge.

I have a different sense
of machismo, I guess.

I don't know.

I don't take doctors'
advice too often.

I don't go to doctors.
I don't have physicals.

Men are supposed to act
a certain way in my mind.

Yeah, but, like, you're
touching all these things,

and it keeps bleeding.

Danielle: Putting it in
your mouth is even worse.

I can't win.

Yeah, I'm hardheaded,

but you have to be
hardheaded to survive this.

If you're weak-minded,
you'll never make it.

Keep on going.

Don't stop, even
though the pain.

We got a place
to get set up here.

[ sighs ] you think we'll
get this done by today?

Yeah, we have to.

We got to get
overhead protection,

'cause we can't be left
open to the elements again

another night.

And we're done.

I love it!

Can always add to it later.

Okay.

We got ourselves a
little, uh, palapa here.

Danielle: I'm gonna
look for some food today.

I would really
like to return back

with some kind of thing to eat.

It'd be really great to
find fruit or something.

Charlie: Dani's out foraging
for some veggie crap.

We're in a jungle.

I need to eat meat.

I'd love to find some
freshwater mussels.

Now, that would be nice.

Ah, that's nothing. Damn it.

Danielle: Spotted some river
cabbage up a little bit higher in the t

it's a good source of
protein, good food source.

Definitely a good meal.

So, what do you think?

I think it tastes like a leaf.

Just think of all the vitamins
you're getting out of this.

I can't survive 21
days with just that.

I got to find something else.

[ bird cries ]

with the energy I'm exerting
and the sweat I'm losing,

I'm sweating out two to
three liters of water a day,

and I'm taking in four
to six cups a day.

So I'm not replenishing myself.

I see a water supply
that's potentially good.

It's a nice, narrow stream.

Got a waterfall back there,

so a waterfall to a
non-stagnant pool

to another quick, narrow stream.

What do you think?

If I got to guess,
this is good water.

I have to see if this
water makes me sick.

I'm like a little petri dish.

We have a fire going,
so drinking that water

when we have a safe
method already going,

why risk it?

He's just so headstrong.

Well, I'll know tomorrow
or later on tonight.

If I get sick, then I'm [bleep]

[ monkeys howling ]

it's about 4:00 in the morning.

Just found a tick on my neck.

Charlie found a tick on his leg.

How many do you have now?

I got 23.

I would rather deal with
creepy animals freaking me out,

waking me up at night,

than knowing that there's
ticks all over my body.

Now I'm gonna be paranoid
and have tick nightmares.

Charlie: Today, I feel great.

[ chuckles ]

I drank from that water
up there last night.

I got nothing wrong with me.

We got an endless water
supply, which is amazing.

I started feeling the effects
of not sleeping and not eating,

so it just kind of,
like, hit me today.

How you feeling?

Sore and tired.

Let's just take it
really easy today.

She's 25. She's
working as hard as I am.

It's nonstop.

She's beat. She's
really tired right now,

and I'm thinking of not
even letting her go get water.

I might just make two trips
and get the water for us.

Here's the deal.

Yeah?

You are staying here.

I'm staying here?

Yeah. Why?

'cause I'm gonna get the water.

I can get the water.
No, no, no, no.

You're beat.
You're staying here.

I need you lying down.

But I can get water.

You're not going
with me. I feel fine.

I'm asking you to
please stay here.

Well, I'm telling you I
know my body very well.

You want to disobey
and you want to do

whatever you want
to do, that's fine.

So now I'm disobeying?

Charlie was talking to me
like people talk to their dog,

and that's not cool.

I think you should stay.

Can leave now.

Okay, come on. Let's go.

You want to be like that? Okay.

Charlie's a very difficult
and stubborn person

to be around 24 hours a day.

He wants things done his way.

Nobody tells me what to do.

Nobody bosses me around.

I do what I want. I
make my own decisions.

What are you doing after this?

I don't know.

You're not talking to me, now?

Do you want to tell me
what I should be doing?

No.

Just trying to take care of you.

Just trying to look out for you.

I can take care of myself.

Don't come at me and
tell me what I have to do.

Charlie: I'm a guy.

I see a woman in distress, a
woman that's not feeling well,

I'll do what I can to help her.

I'm not angry at her.
She's angry at me.

Oh, yeah.

She's angry at me. She
wouldn't even talk to me.

Just be careful.

Bossing me around,
telling me what I should do,

what I shouldn't do,
when I should do it --

it's just rude
and disrespectful.

Charlie's exactly what I
did not want as a partner.

All of this came from
me seeing you tired

and was worried about you.

Everyone's tired.

Tired is not a
medical condition.

No, but we can
still be concerned

about somebody
that's tired, can't we?

It's called compassion, caring.

Caring is not bossing
somebody around.

Let me be quiet, 'cause anything
I say will be used against me.

[bleep] [bleep]

danielle: You just don't
walk up to somebody

and tell them what
they're gonna be doing,

what they're not gonna be doing.

If this is gonna continue,

I can definitely see a lot
of problems in the future.

Charlie: I think she's
upset, obviously.

She's clearly tired.

And I just thought
I'd be helpful.

That's all I was. I was
just trying to be helpful.

I wasn't trying to
boss anybody around.

How you doing? You're back.

I'm back.

How you feeling?

I don't want you to
think I'm mad at you.

I just don't like
being told what to do.

I sincerely apologize.

I'm sure we'll get over it.

Charlie: Good night.

There's got to be some
crawfish in this river.

Oh, beautiful!

I don't see any crawfish,

but what I see is,
like, underwater snails.

I get a dozen of these, I roast
them up -- a little escargot.

Food!

Charlie: Oh, that
one just blew up.

Isn't that like
cooking them alive?

It's not like
cooking them alive.

It is cooking them alive.

There's no other way to cook it?

Nope.

I don't know.

It's still life.

It's still a living creature,

and I don't think I need
to take the life of an animal

to satisfy my body.

Oh, he's moving.

He has no feelings.

Snails don't have feelings.

Yes, they do.

It's really hard for me to
see them crawling right here

and then watch
them explode in a fire.

[ sighs ]

and these two are,
like, hugging each other.

Okay. That's your belief.

I think it's a little
nuts, but okay.

It's a little nuts? Are
you calling me crazy?

I didn't say "crazy."
there's a difference.

"crazy" and "nuts"
are two different things.

Danielle: I'm not crazy.

I just stand up for my beliefs,

even if it's for something
as small as a snail.

I feel like everything is equal

and everything
deserves that respect,

especially if
you're taking its life.

I'm gonna go clean my plate.

I'm gonna add some
water to this, all right?

I'll be back.

[ sighs ]

I'm gonna throw these back.

I feel bad for dani.

I'll get more when I need them.

I don't want the
sun to k*ll them

or for them to die here.

That's not right.

I let them go.

I'm really happy
you let them go.

I'm glad you are.

[ knife scraping ]

ah [bleep]

cut myself again.

[bleep]

ah [bleep]

cut myself up pretty good here.

I'm bleeding pretty
good. I got a nice gash.

Ah [bleep]

khukuri is very sharp.

And...I cut pretty
good into my finger.

Why are you holding
your hand like that?

Are you sure you don't want
me to put a bandage on it?

I can tie it so that it holds
pressure over the cut.

I don't need help.

I'm trained in
wilderness medicine.

I've seen cuts smaller
than that get really infected.

Danielle: Charlie
definitely needs stitches.

If it does get infected,

the infection can flow up
his bloodstream very quickly.

You could die
instantly from that.

I just don't want you
to have an infection.

I know you want to take care
of me, and I appreciate that.

That means a lot to me.

I'm sorry.

I was pissed off.

I was pissed off at
me for being stupid.

I really appreciate that.

Where do you want me, doc?

I'm gonna run clean water on it.

I was pretty
stubborn about my --

you know how I am
about being a guy and stuff.

Yeah.

Charlie: We need each
other to survive here.

She knows more
about this than I do.

So I'll give in, and I'll
let her lead the way.

I'm glad that you
did this. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Danielle: There's
definitely been a change

from when I first
met charlie until now.

He's definitely
become less stubborn

and more open and
understanding as the days go by.

I'm hungry.

I am hungry. I've been
dreaming about food.

I wake up wanting
a cheeseburger.

We talk about food every night.

Every night.

Cheeseburger deluxe --
that's what I really want.

Charlie: Lack of food is having
an impact on my motor skills.

We need protein, so I want
to set up a spring spear.

I learned this in
the philippines.

It'll go right through you.

Even an armadillo shell.

Nice.

That's gonna be the trip line.

That goes like that.

And we have a spring spear.

This will k*ll it
pretty quick, dani,

so you don't have to worry
about feeling bad about it.

I'm gonna try and set up
some traps for the crawdads.

Crawfish are like lobsters.

They like tight
places to go into.

So I sunk some bamboo with
sticks inside to keep them in.

These yellow flowers are edible,

the flower itself as well
as the leaves around it.

I'm not moving as
quick as I'm used to.

I need food.

Day 13.

Morning.

Still haven't caughten
anything in my traps.

It's been days since
I've had anything to eat.

I need protein, so I'm
gonna do a little fishing.

Oh, that's nice.

I'm gonna get a fish.

I have to catch
something, or I'm done.

Danielle: I found a red almond.

These are super
delicious and nutritious.

And you just eat
the skin right off.

I feel awesome.

I don't feel like I betrayed
my beliefs in any way.

Fish aren't biting right now.

Apparently dani's
gonna do just fine

just eating fruit
and vegetables,

but I need to eat
some meat eventually

before I leave this place.

I know charlie's been
depressed the past couple days,

so I know if we find something,

it will totally change
the game for him.

Got to walk about a mile and
a half one way to check traps.

Damn it.

You have no idea
how much my feet hurt.

Ah [bleep]

hazards of walking around
the jungle with no shoes.

Oh!

Yep, still in the
trigger position,

and my bait is still there.

[bleep] waste of energy.

Ah [bleep]

[ grunts, sighs ]

I have a lot riding on this.

This is my manhood.
This is my life.

I'm hungry.

Can't even hold up the camera.

Got to get the stomach up.

Some energy.

Some food.

Anything.

Danielle: Charlie's
acting a little bit different.

He's not as talkative
as he usually is.

Charlie: I'm hungry.

[ sniffs ]

just -- it gets a
little frustrating.

I don't know if I can make it.

Right now, there's a part
of me that wants to quit.

Danielle: Charlie
is not being himself.

He's thinking about quitting,

and it's -- it's
sad to hear that.

He's just been
pushing himself so hard,

and he hasn't had any protein.

So I know he's gonna need

any food source
that's available to him.

I see a frog.

It's just me, and
I found a toad,

which I know charlie
needs that protein.

Um...

I've never k*lled
an animal in my life.

I'm kind of torn right now.

Charlie.

What do you got?

Oh!

I brought this back for you.

Well, this is a lot of
protein right here for me.

Yeah.

Charlie: This is
emotional to me.

For her to pick up that toad

and have freedom or
death, but for a good cause,

and her choose to give it to me?

I bet that was hard for her.

I won't ever forget that.

This is great. Thank
you very much.

I appreciate it. You're welcome.

It's not easy, and it's a little
bit of a guilt feeling for me,

but overall, I know
that you need it,

and I know you appreciate it.

I do.

Thank you.

[ sighs ]

I can see the meat
now. Look at that.

I may be eating the bones.
It tastes just like chicken.

Having had nothing for so long,

timing on this could not
have been any better.

Thank you, frog.

Thank you, dani.

The sweetest part of that toad

was the fact that
dani got it for me.

Danielle: It's day 19 right
now, and first thing tomorrow,

we're gonna start heading
to the extraction point.

It's gonna be our
last night in here, dani.

Yeah, I can't believe it.

It's gonna take us two
days to reach our extraction,

and we have a lot of work to do.

Want to check out the map?

See what direction
we got to go in.

Looks like we're gonna
have to build a raft

somewhere around here.

Narrator: Charlie and
dani's two-day trek

to reach their extraction point

will begin with a difficult
hike through the dense jungle

to this bamboo grove.

From here, they'll
need to build a raft

and begin their seven-mile
journey along the river,

thick with caiman,

paddling as far as
they can before nightfall.

If they make it
through the night,

they face a final push

to the mouth of the river
at the caribbean sea,

where an offshore boat will
be waiting to rescue them.

That's a hell of a hike. Two
miles through the jungle.

We're gonna be winding
up sleeping on the river.

It's gonna be a long journey,

so dani and I decided to go
ahead and break down our shelter

and use it for resources.

You're gonna come to
me. That's it. Right down.

Watch the ones to your right.

Push them out of the way.

Spent the day preparing paddles.

Getting some lashing.

So, both paddles are good to go?

Two new canteens.

Better to have it and not need
it than need it and not have it.

Day 19 is almost over.

The shelter is gone,

and we're sleeping under
the stars when they come out.

Yes, we are.

[ thunder rumbling ]

[ rain falling ]

are you kidding me?

What the [bleep] luck is this?

19 days in the jungles of
colombia, we don't get rain.

I take the [bleep] shelter
down, and it starts to pour!

Not getting much sleep tonight.

It's gonna hurt tomorrow.

Charlie: Going into day 20.

That was a rough night.

Charlie: I want
to get out of here.

It's gonna be an
exhausting day today.

Yeah, it is.

And it's hot, humid.

I'm tired already, dani.

We'll get through it.

Yeah.

I can help you.

[ sighs ] this is gonna suck.

There's a lot to think about
to get out of here safely.

It's not over yet.

How you doing, charlie?

I'm okay.

[ sighs ]

my feet are in
pain. I cannot walk.

Ah [bleep]

do you need a break?

No. Just keep on
going. I want to get there.

I'll take a break
when we get there.

Move on. Marines don't quit.

That's what I like to hear.

We just get tired.

I see some bamboo
right over here, charlie.

Great.

Narrator: With only a
few hours of daylight left,

the survivalists must
hurry to construct their raft.

Ah, you mother [bleep]

[ insects buzzing ] ah [bleep]

what is it? Bees' nest.

They might be
them k*ller [bleep]

do you see one? I
got hit about 30 times.

You're not allergic, are you?

Well, we're gonna find out.

I've never been stung like that

so many times in
such rapid succession.

We have to make
sure this is really sturdy.

Nice and solid.
Yeah, looks good.

Ready to try it out?

Yeah, let's do this.

Well, we made it
out before the sunset.

Let's try and make as much
time as we can before it gets dark.

Keep your eye out
for caiman, though.

Yeah, I am.

[ thunder rumbles ]

and it's raining.

Yep.

[ bats chittering ]

bats are out. I hate bats.

[ monkeys howling ]

look at this.

The howler monkeys
are out there.

I'm beat. I can't go anymore.

I can't see anything, either.

We should really start looking
for a place to pull over at

and just get some rest.

How about right over
there? Looks kind of sandy.

That's good.
We're off the water.

[ howling continues ]

I tell you what.

You fall asleep first.

I'll take watch.

Okay.

I'll be watching for caiman.

[ water splashing ]

what is that?

Hold on. Stay there.

Ah! [bleep]

narrator: Before beginning

their 21-day survival test
in the colombian jungle,

dani and charlie were both given

a primitive survival
rating, or psr.

Charlie has exhibited
strong leadership skills...

Come on, baby.

...But failed
attempts at hunting,

and a severe lack of food

resulted in his
body shutting down

after two weeks in the wild.

Dani has been very resourceful
in finding nourishment,

and she has been
there for her partner

when he's needed her most.

Oh!

Their psrs will be
further reevaluated

based on how well they
endure the remaining 24 hours

and toughest leg of
their extraction journey.

[ monkeys howling ]

[ water splashing ]

charlie: What is that?

Ah! [bleep] me.

Wow. That was really close.

I'm sleeping with my
khukuri out tonight.

[ howling continues ]

danielle: Charlie,
it's finally day 21.

I know. The sun's coming up.

Let's get moving.

Narrator: Exhausted
from very little sleep,

dani and charlie must now
paddle the remaining two miles

to their extraction point,

where the river meets
the caribbean sea.

Charlie: I'll paddle as much
as we can to the ocean.

There's the beach! Come on!

We're so close!

I'm gonna get out and push.

Get it up on the
beach a little bit.

That's it. [ sighs ]

danielle: There it is!

h*!

Holy [bleep]

narrator: Due to
shallow coral reefs

the rescue boat is forced to
anchor over 200 yards offshore.

Danielle: Swimming to our
boat is definitely a scary thing.

Narrator: The
powerful current is

pulling charlie and dani
further from the boat,

putting their
rescue in jeopardy.

[ indistinct conversation ]

all right.

We're in.

Charlie: To survive
this challenge,

the one thing I could not have
done without was have dani.

She's taught me
how to respect food,

she's taught me
how to respect life,

and I think her strength
is equal to mine.

Yeah!

Yeah! We did it!

My first impressions of charlie

have definitely turned
around for the better.

When I first met him, I
wasn't really sure what to think,

but I was able to trust him,
and it makes me really happy

he's taking away things
from this experience

that I taught him.

Whew!

Get us out of here.

Out!

Whoo-hoo!

Narrator: The physical
transformation experienced by the surv

over the course of their
three-week challenge was severe.

Charlie lost a
total of 25 pounds,

while dani lost 14 pounds.

Charlie's reluctance
to accept help

and his struggle to
secure protein hurt him,

but he showed great skill and
perseverance in pushing through.

Despite limiting her diet
to fruits and vegetables,

dani performed
at a very high level

and proved she could make
the tough choices necessary

to help her partner.

As a result, charlie's
psr rises from 7.2 to 7.5.

Dani's score also
improves from a 6.9 to 7.5.

In the end, charlie and dani
used solid skills and teamwork

to tame the harsh
jungle of colombia

and proved they
have what it takes

to survive "naked and afraid."

say hi, mom.

Hi, baby.

I'm happy to have her back.

I missed her very much.

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but it's lonely
without charlie here.

[ chuckles ]

it's strange being back.

I actually miss dani.

Still talk to her.

She'll be a friend for life.

Mom and dad, obviously.

What do you think, pop?

I'm going out next.

Whenever you set it up, I'll go.
