10x08 - What the Duck?

[bunniefuu]

So, I just got a good call.

I'm gonna be on
"naked and afraid."

I'm a little nervous,
but I'm excited.

Yay.

Narrator: over 200 survivalists
have taken on

The world's
toughest challenge --

Naked for 21 days.

-I could've had that thing.
-No way.

Narrator:
10 have attempted the special
14-day fan challenge...

-Oh *bleep*
-this *bleep* sucks.

Nothing about this whatsoever
is easy right now.

Narrator:
...but only five have succeeded.

So glad I'm here.
I'm so glad.

Now two more super fans
have been chosen.

Will they be able to survive
"naked and afraid"?

Holly: ugh.
I don't want to do this.

Dan:
I love "naked and afraid"

Because of the raw challenge
of it.

That's intense.

I think I can pull
this challenge off

Because I'm mentally tough.

Being a remote field biologist,
I have experience

In these remote
and often harsh environments.

They call it the toughest job
you'll ever love.

You have to put yourself
in a totally different mind-set

In those kind of situations
to be able to make it through.

I've had a lot of tough things
happen in my life.

My mom passed away
when I was 17,

My godmother passed away
from cancer,

And just a few months ago,

A close cousin of mine
was k*lled.

I don't really have
any immediate family anymore.

All of them, you know, wanted me
to live my life to the fullest,

And that's exactly
how I choose to live my life.

I don't want to have
an easy, peaceful life,

I want to endure the hardships

And know what it takes
to get through that.

Holly:
we've got lots of sticks.

Getting my feet toughed up
for the show.

Narrator:
"naked and afraid."

Holly:
I watch this show all the time.

Every day at lunch at work,
I watch it.

I'm kind of obsessed
a little bit.

So nice to meet you.

That will be me soon.

The most pathetic thing
I've seen people do

On the show is machete errors,
cutting yourself.

God, I've cut my finger
pretty bad.

That's kind of dumb.

I think going slow is the key.

No one else seems to really
do that on the show.

What a beautiful view
we've got here in oregon.

I am super ready to go do this.

I do think that the difficulties
that I went through as a child

Helped make me into the
strong woman that I am today.

Growing up, my mom was an
alcoholic, my dad wasn't around,

So we basically were on
our own a lot of the time.

I learned to enjoy nature,
and pretty much all my hobbies

Are hunting, fishing,
outdoors activities.

I know I'm not a survivalist,

But I know that I can do
this challenge,

And I'm ready
to show everyone else.

And remember,
youtube is 90% phony.

One week before being sent out
naked into the wilderness,

Dan and holly receive
crucial survival training

From wilderness expert
christopher nyerges.

Okay, good. You're doing good.
Look at that.

-Just...
-Good. Good.

Okay.
It's not where I aimed.

So, this is really happening
right now.

We're on our way to the airport,
going to mexico.

Saying goodbyes.
-Okay, love you.

-They suck.
-Be safe.

It's getting real, everyone.

This is it.

Whew,
it looks desolate out there.

Holy guacamole, guys.

I'm in mexico.

Narrator:
dan and holly will attempt
their 14-day fan challenge

In the pine forests and lagoons
at montebello, mexico.

I've been picturing this moment

For months and months
and months now,

But pine oak forest
and a freezing lake

Is not what I pictured
for mexico.

It's not what I prepared
for at all.

That's for damn sure.

Narrator:
5,000 feet about sea level

And with temperatures
in the 60s during the day

And as low as 48 degrees
at night,

Montebello will be a daunting
challenge for the super fans.

Dan: and if it's raining
and down in the 50s,

Could get hypothermia
in minutes.

That could literally k*ll you.

Narrator: dan often works
in harsh and remote environments

But lacks experience

Surviving without his gear.

He starts with a psr of 4.8.

Holly:
I'm definitely feeling nervous.

I watch the show all the time,
and now I'm in it.

I feel like
I was a lot more confident

On my couch
with my blanket,

'Cause now I'm overwhelmed
of the reality of everything.

Narrator: holly is determined
enough to take on this challenge

But doesn't like to rely
on others.

She begins with a psr of 4.3.

♪♪

Holly:
this is the worst part.

I think meeting somebody
for the first time naked

Is probably one of
the weirdest scenarios

That anyone could
come up with.

I'm beginning to regret this
a little bit.

I thought I was ready.

Looks like me and this forest
are gonna be getting intimate.

Whoo.

It's gonna get freezing
out here tonight.

Really hope she likes to cuddle.

Holly: cuddling's probably
not gonna happen,

Because I'm not
a touchy-feely person.

I'm not a person-person.

I'd rather hang out
with a bunch of animals.

I definitely just hope

That I can get over that
a little bit

Just so that
I can work with my partner

Even though he's a stranger.

Well, hello.
-Hey.

-Hey.
-How's it going?

-Good. How about yourself?
-Excited to meet you.

Dan.
-I'm holly.

Nice to meet you.
-Great to meet you.

-Weird?
-Ready for an adventure?

Yeah, I'm ready.

-Awesome.
-It's awkward.

Yeah, I've seen this moment
played out 1,000 times

So it's pretty crazy to be here
in this moment, too, so...

So, you want to check out
what's in our bags?

Yeah, absolutely.

Let's see what we got
to work with here.

Narrator: dan and holly
are provided with a machete,

A fire starter,
and a mosquito net.

-Yes.
-That's gonna be perfect.

It's gonna save our lives.

I'm already getting eaten out --
-i know.

Eaten alive.

-That's perfect.
-All right, well...

Holly: I definitely put my foot
in my mouth,

But we also kind of have
the same sense of humor,

It seems like.

So I think we'll be able
to laugh,

Which is gonna help us
get through this two weeks.

So, looks like I've got
the map in here.

Dan: oh, perfect.

Where are we now?

Holy *bleep* we're on
this little island --

We're on
the little island, yeah.

It doesn't look like
there's a whole lot

Of resources on this island.

No, it's pretty tiny.

I think we're gonna have to
get off back onto the --

Somewhere over here,
probably right here.

There looks like there's
a couple fish ponds, so...

-Yep.
-How are you with swimming?

It's definitely one of my fears
along with the snakes

We're gonna meet
at the other side.

Narrator:
once inside the dense forest,

Holly and dan
will face insatiable swarms

Of biting black flies,
mosquitos, and chaquistas.

They'll also have to keep
a sharp eye out

For the venomous
coral snakes and jaguars

That call this region home.

-Ready?
-Yep.

-All right.
-Let's go.

Want to get there
with some daylight left

To set our shelter up.

-Absolutely.
-It's gonna get cold tonight.

♪♪

Holly: oh, boy.

-It's gonna be cold.
-All right.

So, I'm not feeling the water,
I'm just jumping in.

All right.
Let's do this.

After you.

♪♪

Whew,
it's cold.

Narrator: with the water
temperature at 59 degrees,

Holly and dan experience
cold-water shock

Where they lose control
of their breathing.

*Bleep* swimming.

As water conducts heat
from the body

25 Times faster than air,
they are also at risk

Of developing hypothermia
within minutes.

Holly:
I'm already too tired.

-You got it.
-Damn it.

We're getting there.

Look how far
we came already.

All right.

I did it.

Good job.

It was scary.

Don't want to do it again.

All right.
Ready?

Yep.

Get to our new home.

I'm chilled
from that swim.

We'll warm up.

I'm just so happy we're gonna
get a fire started in no time.

-That's gonna be great.

The fans are just
gonna k*ll it.

Gonna k*ll it.

It's colder than I thought
it would be in the day.

There are coral snakes
out here.

Those are a concern.

-Geez louise.
-Bugs?

-Yeah.
-Ow.

-No bueno.
-Hey, hey.

Ah. The mosquitos
have definitely found us.

Man, this environment
is not great.

Yeah, give the newbies
the hard one.

I see how it is.
-I know. God.

I am glad we got
that mosquito net.

♪♪

I see a cliff, a big,
rocky cliff.

Yes.

-Look at that.
-Oh, it's beautiful.

Our own private lake.

Look at this.
It's gorgeous.

I think we should walk around
and see if there's

Any sort of stream
or river coming into it.

Look, look, look, look.

-Un pato.
-It's a huge duck right here.

We could have a duck dinner
on our first night.

Not very afraid of me.

♪♪

*Bleep*

We'll get him.
Yeah.

I just hope I didn't scare it,
which I definitely did.

Well, we got two weeks.
He'll be back.

That duck's probably
gonna haunt us.

Just watched
the canada episode

Where they chipmunk was
harassing him the whole time.

That's gonna be
our chipmunk.

Look over there.

That's the other lagoon.
You can see it.

It might just be
a cenote.

Narrator:
cenotes, freshwater sink holes,
are plentiful in the region.

Formed from the collapse
of the limestone bedrock,

The water can be hundreds
of feet deep and icy cold.

They were often used
by the ancient maya

For human sacrifice.

Ca-caw.

That's creepy.

So, what are you thinking
for shelter?

We're gonna lose the sun here
pretty quickly.

Everything is sloped at more
than a 45-degree angle,

There's nowhere
to set anything up.

I think this is, by far,
our best bet.

It's not an awesome spot.

It's pretty slopey, but we don't
have enough time to explore

And find
something different.

Home sweet home.

So, we're not gonna be able
to get shelter tonight.

This ground is cold and wet,
though.

We need to pile up dry stuff
to get us off this ground.

Thinking mosquito net
and bed?

Yeah.

Holly: we're gonna get
some perpendicular logs

That are gonna stack
on that dead log,

Help get us off the ground
a little bit

And then throw
as many leaves on it

As we can
to make it comfortable.

*Bleep*
these flies are huge.

God, these flies.

*Bleep*
-what?

Ooh, you're not
gonna like that.

Little tarantula.

Ew, I don't like that.

Why'd you have to find
the tarantula?

*Bleep*

As a fan, it always looks
so easy on the first day.

It sucks.

First day sucks.

Whew!

Ow *bleep*

♪♪

Here we go, here we go.

Start feeding it.
We got little sticks.

Quick, quick,
quick, quick.

*Bleep* me.

*Bleep*

So, how do you feel
about cuddling?

My boyfriend wouldn't be
super fond of it.

So we're gonna do what we can
to get this fire.

I'll definitely do
my best, then.

Damn it.

Dan:
I'm worried about tonight.

She doesn't want to cuddle,

Which was one thing
that I had a problem with.

Oh, boy.

Hypothermia is no joke out here,
you know?

It's not just unpleasant.

It's not just mental.

It can literally k*ll you.

♪♪

Holly:
it's the end of day 1 --

We have no shelter,
we have no fire.

We're starting to look
like fans.

This sucks.

♪♪

Holly: damn it.

Didn't work.

Oh, my god.

We don't have water.
We don't have a fire.

We don't really have anything
at the moment.

It's the end of day 1.

It's gonna be
a really long night.

Yes!

We got fire.
Whoo!

We got something done.

Holy hell.

Yes.
Whoo!

We just got fire,
we're gonna keep warm tonight.

This is a huge boost
to both of us.

I could use, like,
a ton of water.

Did you see people
going three days?

I don't know
how they do that.

With the research
that I've done --

That'll filter it and then
you just dip it in the lake,

And do that
underneath it.

All right.

We collected a little bit
of sphagnum moss

And put it in that bag.

Charcoal.

We're gonna be a little risky,
well, calculated risk.

Oh, I'm scared.

You ask anybody, you don't
drink the water in mexico.

Narrator: as the water filters
through the bag,

The iodine
in the sphagnum moss

Kills most viruses
and bacteria,

While the charcoal removes
contaminants and impurities.

See how I feel
in the morning.

I hope we don't tap on day 2
because of this.

Ooh, there's the wind.

It's starting to get
a little cold. *Bleep*

So, do you have a girlfriend
or a wife?

Yeah,
I have a husband.

-Do you?

Nope.

Holly:
last night was miserable.

It was a bone-chilling,
cold wind.

I get it, cuddling is warmer,
body heat is smart.

I know it's not sexual.

I'm out here with a g*y man.

But I'm not
a very affectionate person,

And I don't want
anyone touching me.

We're gonna have to fix
a nice shelter up,

Build something a little better
for the next night.

♪♪

There's definitely more firewood
on this side of the lake.

Holy *bleep*
look at that.

No way.

Look at those.
We're eating.

We're eating.
-We're eating something.

Oh, pato,we're gonna
eat your babies.

El pato.

Mr. Duck is flapping
his feathers

Like he's pissed off.

Sorry, buddy.

You're probably next,
though.

Oh, they're gonna be totally,
like, little chicks

In there, though.

-No way.
-Yeah.

Like, embryos?

Yeah, it's gonna be tasty.

Let's look in there
and see how much
firewood we can get, too.

There's a flat spot
up here.

-What?
-Way flatter.

What are we doing
over there?

Way flatter.

This is a lot better than
that slope we were sleeping on.

I think we were just -- we were
in such panic mode yesterday

To find a spot to sleep
that walked past the best spot.

Both of us being kind
of unexperienced,

We didn't explore a lot
on our way in,

But I think that's
the newbie aspect of it.

So we'll learn.
We'll get better.

-Got it?
-Get over that one, yeah.

We can make a nice canopy
for ourselves, a little a-frame.

We're gonna be set.
-Whoa.

the girl in chiapas

Went out last time,
so let's be careful.

We're k*lling it.

Dan: expending a lot of energy
doing this,

But if it makes a roof that
keeps us warm and dry at night,

Then it's well worth it.

If we get soaked, we're done.

Oh, it's definitely
a lot warmer in here.

Yeah.

Whoo!

We have to come up
with a name for the duck.

-He needs a name.

I want to eat him,
though.

I don't like to name things
I eat.

-I'm gonna call him henry.

We're gonna eat henry.

Really hoping those eggs
are...

-Good?
-...just eggs.

I feel like the last people
I saw eat embryos

Got really sick from it.

We spent a lot of calories
putting our shelter together,

So we're gonna have to eat it
even if it's an embryo.

Ready for this?
-Yep.

You gonna eat it?

with escargot.

Dan:
tastes like a hot dog.

Are you telling yourself
so you keep eating it or --

-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.

It's gross, you guys.

It does not taste
like a hot dog.

Yeah, not very good.

I'm, like, crying.

-Sorry.

Tastes like
wet cat food.

Ugh.

I think we'll probably
get used to them,

But I'd prefer
we didn't have to.

Yeah, these suck.

♪♪

I did manage to get maybe
a couple hours of sleep,

Which is better than
the last couple of nights.

A little better.

I can move my fingers
without wanting to cry.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Well, that's
a really good sign.

Dan: we need a protein score
before extraction,

She needs protein in her body
for that to heal

And for me to have a partner
with two able hands.

I notice when I walk along
the edge of this lake,

Frogs jump out of the plants
and into the water.

It gave me an idea to try to
make a net out of some sticks

And our mosquito net.

I don't know why I didn't think
of it before.

One of my earliest
childhood memories

Is frog hunting with
my grandma at our cottage.

We'd walk along the shore
and catch them

With a little net
or even our bare hands.

I'm using this to melt a hole
through here,

So hopefully they won't tear
as much as they would

If I used a knife
to cut them.

♪♪

Voilà.

Let's see how this goes.

Where are you, frogs?

Got one.

Whoo!

Got a miniature one.

Super gratifying to have
this pay off.

I'm pretty stoked.
This could really provide us

Some protein to get
through extraction.

Oh, look at that hunker.

That's a hunker
if I seen one.

That's a hunker.

This is definitely the protein
that we've needed.

Even though it doesn't look
like a lot,

It's gonna get us
a long ways.

It's gonna save me.

I can already feel
the protein giving me

A little more energy than
we've had the last two weeks.

♪♪

Dan:
it's extraction morning.

Getting ready to go.

How are you feeling, holly?

Beautiful.

It is day 14, so we tried
to dress for the occasion.

As goofy as it might look,

The mud might help
with the mosquitos,

And this kind of shelters
us from the sun.

The frog king.

-The frog king.

Plus, we look great.

Bye, henry.

Narrator: to complete
their 14-day fan challenge,

Holly and dan must hike
a treacherous 3 miles

To a logging road through
a steep and impenetrable jungle

Filled with sink holes
and coral snakes.

My legs are
already burning.

Ow *bleep* my --
-are you okay?

Yeah.
Geez louise.

Holy *bleep*

Spooky sink hole.

Be careful.

Yeah.

This terrain is super intense.

It's made of crumbled limestone

That covered up
with pine needles

So you can't really see
all of the sink holes.

It's insanely treacherous.

I don't like this
at all.

Look at this, holly.

Is that our cenote?

Wow.

Holly:
a little bit disappointing.

We're only to the top
of the cliffside,

And the map's showing us that
we have a lot longer to go.

Getting tired.

Ow.
*Bleep* vines are k*ller.

Thorns everywhere
in here.

Ow.

Ouch.

How much longer,
you think?

I have no idea.

Ugh.

How you feeling?

Yeah, I'm breathing hard.

This is way harder
than they make it look.

I'm hoping it's close,
'cause I'm tired.

*Bleep*

My mouth is so dry.

It's never-ending.

Dan: I'm getting tired.

♪♪

Do you hear that?

What?

Vehicle.

-Oh!
-That's my ride.

-Yes.
-Yes.

-Oh!
-Yes.

-Oh, let's go.
-Ugh.

Let's get out of here.

Oh, I could kiss you.
Ah.

Whoo!

Without you, I don't know
if I could've done it.

Coming into this challenge,
I definitely had the outlook

That people suck.

Seeing how much dan,
a complete stranger,

Took care for me and helped me
and be there for me

Showed me that not everyone
is that horrible.

And I should probably open up
a little bit more

And give a couple
more people a chance.

And I think we
*bleep* k*lled it.

We did. Super fans
can be experts, too.

Dan: this challenge would've
been way harder on my own

If I didn't have holly there.

And I didn't really realize
how significant a partner

Could be trying to survive
in a situation like this.

If you can't work and cooperate
with them,

Then you're essentially
on your own out there.

-We're the best.
-Hell yeah.

We did it.

Narrator: after a gruelling
14 days in the mayan jungle,

Holly lost a total of 18 pounds,

And dan lost a total
of 16 pounds.

No longer just super fans
but full-fledged survivalists,

Their psrs rise to 6.3
and 6.5.

I'm so glad
we finished together.

I'm feeling pretty good
about it.

Dan: I've lost a lot of people
in my life.

I like to
think that I can continue on

And make them proud
and be the best that I can be.

And I think
I've done that out here.

-Whoo!
-Whoo!

We did it!
Ah!
