07x08 - Unhinged

[bunniefuu]

Melissa:
there's water everywhere.

Just when I thought
the rain was about to end,

It starts gushing.

And I just heard thunder.

This is so crazy.

Geoff:
this is no place to be naked

With some kind of
bush-craft shelter,

No food and nothing
but a machete.

It's a joke.

Nobody can do this.

Narrator: one man...

And one woman...

I'm not leaving!

...alone for 21 days...

What is that?

...with no food...

Oh, god, I'm freezing.

...no clothes...

Aah!

...no water...

Aah! Move!

Do they have the skills
and the will...

Hurts.

...to overcome the most primal
survival challenge

Of their lives...

...naked and afraid?

Melissa: it's just miserable.

I am a few days away
from leaving,

And I am here
hiking out in the woods.

I am getting used to walking
with no shoes on.

Pretty soon, I'm going to be
taking my clothes off, too.

All right.
So it's saturday, about 7:00.

I'm going to be leaving
in about 12 hours.

As you can see,
I'm in my mom's backyard here

In sun prairie, wisconsin,

With all my wild animal dogs.

I am heading to the airport.

I'm leaving the united states.

Geoff:
goodbye, everybody.

-Bye.
-Bye, mom.

Reality's starting to set in.

Bye!

Panama, here I come.

Captions paid for by
discovery communications

Narrator: in the heart of
the panamanian rainforest

Lies the burbayar jungle.

This chaotic habitat is known
for its unrelenting rainstorms

That trigger dangerous
flash floods.

Only accessible
by foot or horseback,

Its overgrown vegetation

Provides camouflage
for the jaguar and puma

And conceals hundreds
of venomous snake species

Including the deadly
fer-de-lance.

Geoff: first time in panama,
riding down a trail.

First time on a horse

And nothing but two green walls
on each side of me.

My name's geoff.

I currently live in washburn,
wisconsin,

On the shores
of lake superior.

I'm a student
majoring in history.

While I was in the marines,

I was a 7041 aviation
operations specialist.

"Pain is weakness
leaving the body,"

As the marine corps says.

I'm an elite survivalist.
I've never quit from anything.

The only way I'm going out is

If they have to
literally carry me out.

I'm always up for adventure.

I'm a low-key guy.

I like my alone time.

I can be a little bit grumpy
at times

With people
who get on my nerves.

I want to experience
a tough time

And really prove to myself
that I can get through anything.

Narrator: a skilled all-around
survivalist,

Geoff's self-sufficiency
will serve him well,

But working with a partner
could present difficulty.

Geoff has received
a psr of 7.5.

Melissa:
the jungle is muggy and hot.

It's hot, hot.

I'm melissa.
I'm from atlanta, georgia,

And I own a marketing company.

The biggest misconception
that people have about me

Is that I'm too bubbly

To do a lot of things
like this challenge.

They don't see my roots
and where I'm from.

I'm here to prove
southern girls

Have what it takes
to make it in the jungle.

I am a good hunter and trapper,
also really good with fire.

People don't know
this side of me.

And now they're
going to know it.

Narrator: melissa is an avid
outdoors enthusiast.

Her can-do attitude
is a strong positive attribute

For the grueling challenge.

Untested in this
extreme environment,

Melissa has been
assigned a psr of 5.8.

Geoff: I'm a nudist at heart.
I love skinny dipping.

It's not going to bother me
being butt naked

In front of a strange woman.

All right. No turning back now.

This is it.

I think my southern charm will,

Like, help my partner open up

And trust me
so we can work together.

That's it.

Here we go, 21 days beginning.

I'm excited for this.

I'm counting down the days.
It's finally here.

It's so muddy
and gross over here.

It's finally great
to meet a naked woman

For the first time.

I know.

-I'm geoff.
Nice to meet you.

Hi.
Melissa.

Nice to meet you.
-Awesome.

Oh, my gosh. We're doing this.
This is crazy.

I know.
This is absolutely nuts.

Should we check out
what's in our sacks?

Yeah.
Let's look at our bags.

Narrator:
in addition to a machete,

Melissa and geoff
have each brought

One piece of survival equipment.

I have a pot.

Perfect.
I have a firestarter.

-Yes.
-We are going to need this.

It is so wet out.
We really need that.

Yes, we will.

Melissa: geoff is cute.
He's got pretty blue eyes,

And he's got a good body.

I've been single for a while.

And, of course,
I'm always looking.

I think it'll work.

I have the map.

So it looks like
we're here.

-Big pool of water right here.
-Yep.

Maybe a type of
a clearing right there?

I think that's where
we should head to, for sure.

Yes, definitely.
We just have to be careful

Because it looks like there's
some large predators there.

21 Days.
We can do it, right?

-We can do it.
-We can do this.

-Let's do this.
-Yes.

Wow,
this place is crazy.

We are definitely
getting deep into the jungle.

This is impenetrable.

Geoff: I'm sure there's
some predators out here.

I don't know where we're
going to set up camp,

But I'd love to do it
before nightfall.

That's when all
the creepy-crawlies come out.

Geoff: I don't like walking
through this thick stuff

Because I can't see anything.
-I know.

There could be a snake
around any corner.

Melissa: I know we want to look
down, but, you know,

The eyelash pit viper
goes straight for your face.

I was very shy
until I was in high school.

And now I'm definitely
an extrovert.

What about you?

I still like my alone time,
but...

We have to be partners
through this whole thing, right?

We might fight
a little bit, but...

Don't say that.

Geoff: melissa --
she likes to talk.

And I'm not that
big of a talker.

I'm really hoping
we can find

A good place
to set up camp tonight.

Yes.

Geoff: is this the river
right here on our right?

-It looks like it.
-Looks good.

But look up there.
It looks like there's,

Like, a clear opening
over there, though, too?

-There's a nice opening.
-Kind of open?

-Yeah.
-Or maybe over there?

Yeah.
I'm thinking we should head

Down this way a ways
and check it out.

Do you want to
check out up here

And see what it looks
like up here?

Geoff:
I'm looking for some palms,

Some good leaves for a roof.

I also want to have
fresh water nearby.

Her strategy...

I don't really know
how experienced she is.

Over there is
pretty decent, too.

Here is going
to be better.

I'm thinking that
flat spot by the river.

So we'll go ahead
and start chopping some stuff?

Yeah.

All right.
Timber.

Melissa:
geoff is shy and timid,

But I think he'll come
out of his shell.

All right.
One more good one.

This is the first time
I've ever done

A shelter naked, though.

Geoff: being constantly
with someone

Every single day
is going to be challenging.

But I don't think we'd
make it without each other.

Timber.

We've already burned
a ton of calories today.

We're going to try and build up
our shelter the best we can

So we can deter anything
from coming in behind us,

Have our fire in front of us.

And hopefully no predators
will be around.

It's time to get
this fire started.

It's starting to rain.

Come on.
Catch, catch.

Aw, this thing sucks.

*Bleep*

Geoff: if we can't get
a fire tonight,

We're going to be eaten
alive by mosquitoes, flies,

Ants, who knows what else.

I wonder if we could take
the blade of the machete

And scrape down.

Come on!

Put your hand back down.

Okay.

*Bleep*

I want so bad just
to tip it upside down

When that happens, but...
-I know.

Next one.
Okay.

Blow it.
Blow it.

*Bleep*
lost it.

Lost it.
-We got this, okay?

-We got this.
-We got this.

Oh, my god, it broke.

*Bleep*
piece of *bleep*

*Bleep*

Melissa: it's time
to get this fire started.

It's starting to rain.

Oh, my god, it broke.

Melissa: we desperately,
desperately need a fire.

Geoff:
I'm telling you right now,

If we don't get fire,

I'm not going to make it
more than 15 days.

This is brutal.

You can't leave me.

We don't have any other
options right now

Unless we find
some dry tinder.

I'll just do anything I can.
I'm going to find anything.

That's pretty dry.

-What you got there?
-I don't know.

Just a little bit
of dry stuff.

It looks like it was hanging
in the sun a little bit.

I really hope this works.

You have to love the jungle,

And hopefully
it'll love you back.

All right.
Ready?

Our nest is falling apart
because it's so tiny.

*Bleep*

Yes.

No.

Those are good strikes,
though.

I know we got this.
We can do it.

It just takes
a little time.

Hell yeah.
This is awesome.

Good job.
-Whoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Having a fire is crucial.

I feel so relieved
right now.

Boiling our first pot
of water.

Whoo!

So excited
to drink this water.

Yes, high five.
Yeah.

I'm going to drink some.

I'm so happy
we have a pot.

Got it from this creek.

Oh, my gosh.

It's so good,
even though it's hot.

That is so good.
-Ashes and all.

Geoff: there's something
over there.

Melissa: it's definitely
getting closer.

*Bleep*

I can't see *bleep*

*Bleep*

I heard it take off.

All right. Night one,

We already had *bleep*
moving around our shelter.

It was kind of
creeping us out.

This rain is just
absolutely k*lling me.

Everything's soaking wet.
It's uncomfortable.

It's cold.

I don't really have much hope
right now.

Don't give up hope.

It's been doing
nothing but rain.

If it continues to rain
like this every single day,

We're not going
to have a fire.

Melissa:
geoff is negative and thinking

About all the bad stuff
that could happen.

But he doesn't plan how
to get past that negativity.

It could actually hurt us

Because we have to be out here,
and we have to survive.

We have to make this work.

Geoff: finally.

It's about time we get
a break in the rain.

Maybe we can go out now while
our fire's still really hot

And try to get some dead trees,
dry them out a little bit.

This place *bleep* sucks.

My energy is not near
where it was when we got here.

But we cannot lose the fire.

It's the only thing
that keeps our spirits up,

Well, at least mine.

I got the fire going good.
How many more do you have?

-Two more.
-I can help you.

Geoff:
no, I don't need it.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

You're not going to be able
to carry trees on rocks.

Melissa: geoff seems to want
to do everything.

But to survivor
out here together,

We have to depend on each other
at the end of the day,

Not just ourselves.

Geoff: hey.

*Bleep*

Geoff:
last night was rough,

One of the roughest
nights of my life.

Oh, man.

We heard the weirdest noise.

I mean, it literally had to be,

Maybe, I'm thinking,
like, 20 feet away.

I feel like I'm starving.

We desperately need some food.

Geoff definitely
does get moody.

And we need our morale up,
and that would just help us.

This morning, while geoff
is out getting firewood,

I'm looking for crab.

I'm looking for shrimp.

I'm looking for anything
under rocks.

These crabs are hiding today.

I'm sticking my hand under,
like, every single rock

And don't feel anything.

That's a turtle.

Is that a turtle?

Yeah, that's a turtle.

Yeah. I got a turtle.

Ah!

Geoff! Geoff!
-Huh?

-I got a turtle!
-Oh, hell yeah.

Look at him.

Yeah, that's a cool --
oh, it's a snapping turtle.

Yeah.
I'm sorry, turtle.

You're going to do it
really fast?

Okay.

I am so grateful to the turtle.

I don't like to
k*ll animals at all.

I'm going to drop
this rock on him.

Oh!

Did that get him?
-I got him.

I had no idea

That much crap
was inside of a turtle shell.

I'm just going
to rinse it quick.

Okay.

I'm going to finish the fire
so it's nice and hot.

Geoff:
this is an awesome find.

I'm really hungry.
This is going to cheer me up.

Great job, melissa.

Two legs and a tail.

All right.

Turtle shish kebab.
Let's cook this thing.

Yes.

Let's see if
we can get some crab

And some turtle
and make a soup.

Geoff: all those juices
leaking off there.

My morale's boosted.

I know we can get turtles.
-All right.

Take your pick.

-It's very chewy.
-Mm, turtle juice.

Geoff: it was
a nice little meal.

It felt good to get
some real food in us for once.

Turtle's not that bad.
Would I eat it again?

Yes, I would.

Here's a piece
we never ate.

I'm just really happy
that the bugs

Were not in our shelter
last night.

I think one just
crawled right here.

Look, there's
literally a line.

I think it just bit
as it crawled up my knee.

They're not biting me.

Geoff: "blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah,"

All the time.
It just never stops.

I got sweeter blood.

I got a sweet heart,
my little southern charm.

You know
you want to laugh.

Not really.

Geoffrey, geoffrey.

Nothing's going to work.

He's very negative.
I'm trying.

I'm really trying hard.

And I just feel like that,
you know, he's not.

When it's pitch black, like,
at night, it is dark.

Even with the fire going,
it's still really dark.

Fire is good.
Fire is good.

Geoff: I need space,
to be alone and have silence

And really want to sleep.

I don't know how much longer
I can take it

Before I really start
to go crazy.

Geoff: are you going
to lay right there?

Why?

I'm planning on being,
like, right here.

And I just would
appreciate it

If your head
wasn't right here.

I can't do that.
I don't want a root in my hip.

Who cares?

-Who cares?
-Yeah, seriously.

Do you have any, like,
because there's

A freaking root
going in my hip.

There's roots
everywhere.

All I'm asking is for a foot
and a half of personal space.

You have all of that
back there, too.

Are you going to *bleep*
tend the fire?

What?
Really?

No, don't "what," me.

*Bleep* you.

I'm not even trying
to be a *bleep*

I asked for a foot
and a half of space.

I'm not arguing anymore.
I don't want to argue.

It would be so much better off
if he was not here.

I'm just over it.

Are you happy right there?

I'm fine.

*Bleep*

Hey. Sorry for being
an a*s*bleep* recently.

When I don't have sleep,
that's what happens.

I have to have sleep.
And I also need my space.

And I'm sorry for being
so direct about it,

An a*s*bleep*
about it, but...

I get that
we all need space,

But...
-Whatever.

I'm over it.
You're over it.

I just don't think
we're cut out to be friends.

No?

I don't think we have
matching personalities.

I really would like a friend
out here just to talk to.

But, like you said, talking
to me is annoying, so...

You're the kind of girl
that I stay away from.

Melissa: I thought he was cute
and everything else,

But he comes across as,
like, a complete jerk.

Geoff is so not
cute to me anymore.

But we have to just
make it work no matter what.

It's like a monsoon.

It really is a monsoon.

It just keeps downpouring.

And the little stream
that we're beside

Starts turning into
more of a river.

And it starts getting
higher and higher.

Geoff: I'm pissed at the jungle,
pissed at the rain.

I hate the *bleep*
sound that it makes.

It kills my morale.
And it's cold.

It's really cold rain.

This is no place to be naked

With some kind
of bush-craft shelter,

No food and nothing
but a *bleep* machete.

This is a joke.
Nobody can *bleep* do this.

Melissa:
the rain is really scary.

We were about to lose everything

That we've built up,
our shelter.

I didn't know how far it
was going to go.

I didn't know how far it
was going to rise.

So do you think
we should move our shelter?

This whole area
is like the river.

And this is
the rainy season,

So this may happen
again tomorrow.

Do you have any idea
how much energy

It's going
to take to do this?

Well, how much energy
is going to take

When it happens again
and our fire goes out?

If it happens again,
I will do it.

I'm not doing it right now.
There's no way.

If you want to go move
and you want to build

Your own shelter up there,
that's fine.

Every suggestion I made,
geoff pretty much shot it down.

There's no respect there.

Just no respect.

Geoff:
I'm really exhausted and hungry.

And we can't find any food.

Turtles aren't as easy
to catch right now.

We're not finding anything else.

Being this hungry
is making me angry.

I need to get food today.

What I'm going to try to do
is build a figure-four deadfall.

Hopefully it traps
something tonight,

Rodents, rabbits,

Squirrels,
anything like that.

I just want to make
a perfect trap.

So I'm doing this the hard way,

And I'm carving a stick
from a whole piece of wood.

So it's nice and solid,

And I can make good solid
notches in it.

Go ahead.
-Okay.

*Bleep* *bleep*

Go ahead.

No.
Come up.

When I say "come up,"

You don't have to come up
all the way like that.

Seriously, just go up,
like, an inch.

I don't know why this is
so *bleep* hard right now.

I'm getting really pissed.

Is it off?

No.
No, it wasn't.

Well, why are you
moving it?

I was holding the rock.

I know, but you're
not up far enough.

Looking good.
Looking good.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-I didn't move.

-No, you just smidged it.
-It's...

You were looking perfect before.
Try it anyway.

It was the rocks.

There we go.

That could make
a good deadfall trap.

Hoping I can get something
either today or tomorrow.

Melissa: oh, my god.

Ahh!

Ow.

What's that, though?

See those?

You see something?

It's got baby birds
in it.

What?
Oh, my god.

They're so cute and defenseless.
This is tough.

Those would be
some good eating.

Melissa:
the nest is already down,

So these little birds
are going to die.

So, I mean, we might as well

Make some little
nuggets out of them.

Geoff: if we would have tried
and released them into the wild,

They would have just gotten
eaten by something else.

So it might as well
have gone to us.

Geoff: I feel bad
for the birds.

Melissa: yeah.
I'm so sad.

Oh.

At least
they're not in pain.

I know.
I know.

Geoff:
finding those baby birds

Means we can get some meat
in our bellies.

It's not very much,
but it's better than nothing.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

-Doesn't taste like chicken.
-It does not.

That was so little, but I
feel really good right now.

Little gamy,
but it's not bad.

-Actually...
-Feels good in the belly.

Melissa: it's the hardest thing
ever to see.

But we're surviving out here,

And we have to use any resources
the jungle gives us.

Do you want to go
get wood really fast,

And I'll just
kind of watch...

-I just got wood.
-You just got wood?

Yeah, I'm building
this thing right now.

Well, how about you go get wood,
and I'll watch it?

Don't tell me
to go get firewood

When I've been getting firewood
all *bleep* morning.

Like, that's *bleep*

I do not let people
boss me around

Who don't work as hard as me.

I'll go get wood.

Melissa: geoff just complains
and curses and yells.

It's just very annoying.

*Bleep*

Even if I asked her
to go do it, she couldn't do it.

I have to do this
every single day,

Or I know
she's going to be cold.

Actually, I don't give
a *bleep* about her.

I just want a fire now.

I can't even sleep because
I got to watch the fire.

I didn't sleep barely
at all last night,

Like, almost every night.

I was up just as much

As you were last night
tending the fire.

I didn't say anything
about last night.

What the hell
are you talking about?

-You just said that.
-What's your point?

I got up this morning,
went behind the thing,

Got some wood,
got the fire going

While you were
still sleeping.

Then I decided to go...
-Okay, good for you.

Just don't *bleep*
tell me what to do.

Got that?

Geoff: I just want
to be away from her.

I can't stand her.

I just asked you
this one time

If you could
go get firewood.

This one time.

I just *bleep*
got firewood!

I don't want to argue.

*Bleep* you!

I'm trying
to get a fire going.

Well, I can do that, too.
It's not just your fire.

It's both of ours.

*Bleep* do it, then.

Geoff: by the way, go get all
the firewood for tonight

And tomorrow
and the next night.

You know what?
*Bleep* you.

Just go.

-No.
-Just go.

Geoff: go get all the firewood
for tonight

And tomorrow
and the next night.

You know what?
*Bleep* you.

Just go.
-No.

-Just go.
-No.

You don't realize
what I do every day.

I do, too!

And you don't realize
what I do, too.

Melissa:
honestly, at this point,

I don't know
if I can go one more day

With all his negativity.

It really weighs on me.

I'm really weak,
combined with body aches

And really bad
stomach cramps and pains.

I got to get some food.

Just going to check the trap,

See if there's
anything in there.

Nothing.

I really wanted something
to be in this trap.

I'm really *bleep*
hungry right now.

I want to keep going, but I just
don't know what to do anymore.

It's getting to my head.

Narrator: on the verge of
reaching his breaking point,

Geoff calls the producers over.

I can't make it
another day.

I've thought
a lot about this,

Not just deciding
out of the blue.

I'm ready
to get out of here.

You know what?
Who gives a *bleep*?

I'm out of here.

Good luck.

Geoff: my fellow marines
might be disappointed

That I'm quitting out at day 14.

This place is really tough.

I can't take it anymore.

I don't feel bad about
melissa outlasting me.

She's stronger than me.

Melissa: it's going to be tough
out here on my own,

But his negativity
and personality

Was almost worse
than the jungle.

I can't believe he tapped out.

I still have a week
out here to survive.

I still have a week
out here to get food.

You're supposed to be
the tough one.

I'm still going.
Quitting is not an option!

Day 14.

It's actually
pretty peaceful tonight.

I got my awesome fire.

I could seriously just go
to sleep comfortable.

All right.
Good night.

Ugh.
That's what he was sleeping on.

Day 15 and day 1 of me
being out here by myself.

What was he sleeping on?
Ugh.

Now that geoff is gone,
no one will say I annoyed him.

I'm going to feel a little
scared being out here by myself.

But at the same time,

This is just another obstacle

That helps me grow as a person.

It's finally morning.
Sun just rose.

I am starting a little basket,

So that way I can catch
some crab and some shrimp.

There.

I'm pretty exhausted.

But I'm doing it on my own.
I'm doing it by myself.

You know, now I just have
to have the strength

To keep going every single day.

Day 18. All right.
Go check my trap.

A little food before I stretch.
And that would be great.

Yeah! Holy crab.
That's freaking awesome.

So happy right now.

Look how big that thing is.

Day 19, I'm having
some tea this morning.

Went and got some oranges.

Well, I call them orange
because they look like oranges.

But they're actually
manet fruits.

It's kind of like
a substitution for coffee

Because I like coffee.

It just started downpouring.

And I'm so cold, like, woo.

In here is just
completely soaked.

Last time we had this monsoon,

I suggested that we go ahead
and move the shelter.

If he would have agreed with me
and moved the shelter,

Then this would not be
a problem at all.

Now I can't move
the shelter by myself.

So, of course, he doesn't care.
He's not here.

He doesn't have
to deal with this.

Just when I thought the rain
was about to end,

It starts gushing.

I really want it
to stop raining now.

Please, please,
please stop raining.

Please.

It's an extreme challenge
to stay positive.

You just have to suck it up

And put yourself
in a happy place.

I honestly don't know how I
can stay positive out here.

It just will not stop pouring.

I have my dry tinder right here.
I took it out from the roof.

It's actually pretty dry.

So I have a backup plan
just in case my fire...

Let's hope it doesn't
resort to that, though.

I'm really hoping it stops soon.

It's day 20,

And it's been raining
the last couple of days.

Everything is wet.

I don't know how I'm going
to sleep in here tonight.

So I don't know
what I'm going to do.

I really don't know.

If it doesn't stop raining,
I don't know.

It just keeps getting higher
and higher and higher out there.

And that water keeps getting
faster and faster and faster.

I'm so sleep-deprived.
This is not working.

I'm just freezing right now.

It's just miserable.

I can't believe I made it
to my last night in the jungle,

And I'm seriously
about to tap out.

Narrator: before melissa
began her 21-day challenge

In the burbayar jungle,

She and her partner
were each given

A primitive survival
rating, or psr.

Because geoff tapped out
on day 14,

His final psr
will drop significantly.

Melissa endured the hostility
of not only the jungle,

But of her own partner.

You know what?
*Bleep* you.

Just go.

And if she can hold on through
the most violent storm yet,

She will then face
a grueling extraction.

Upon completion, her final psr
will be re-evaluated.

Melissa:
it's finally morning.

Last night, it rained all night.

I just tried to stay positive
through the whole thing.

You know, that's what I do.

But I didn't get
any sleep last night.

I mean, it was really scary.

Today is day 21.

I am just going
to make shoes today.

Hopefully, this will help me
during my extraction.

Make sure they are
not coming off.

I'll miss the peacefulness

That this place brings
when it's nice,

But I am so ready
to cross the finish line.

Let's see.
So I need to go north.

I am here.
I need to go north.

It looks really dense
right there.

I may have to take
some of the river up.

Looks like there's
some predators there, too.

Narrator:
melissa's extraction route

Leads her deep into the jungle,

Where she will have to contend
with big cat apex predators

Like the jaguar and puma

That will be out on their first
hunt in three days.

Melissa will then turn uphill,

Crossing slick and muddy slopes
saturated with rainfall.

She will have to navigate
through unmarked trails

While keeping her eye out
for pit vipers

Concealed in the brush below.

After climbing toward
a clearing,

Melissa will be met by a vehicle
for passage back to safety.

Melissa: this jungle's
pretty unforgiving.

*Bleep* man.

I just feel like under
every single step that I take,

There's some creature
that's going to get me.

I never thought I would be
doing an extraction by myself,

Though geoff did say
he would leave me

If I wasn't fast enough
on extraction day.

So I might have been
doing it by myself anyway.

A spider bite could
stop me in my tracks.

I've come too far not to finish.

Thing's huge.

Oh, you always have to watch out
for those creepy-crawlers.

They're everywhere.

This is so thick and dense.

I'm going to go down and follow
the river as far as I can.

This water's so mucky.

I don't know
what's underneath here.

I think I need

To turn off the river
and head uphill.

Um...

I'm really lost right now.

I can't tell where I am.

I wish I had a partner here
to help me figure this out.

All right.

So I must have
hiked through here,

Probably right about here.

And it looks like this is
the right way to go.

Maybe.

Man, you look out,
you see nothing but jungle.

Just dense, overgrown jungle.

I really hope I'm not
just walking in circles.

I'm just going to head
toward the sun.

I really hope this is
the right way.

Oh.

I hope this is my extraction.

I think I'm losing my mind.

I don't see it.

Whoo! Whoo!

Yeah!

Yes!

I made it!

I made it! Whoo!

Bye, jungle!

I came out here.
I beat a marine.

I did this.
Now, I can't wait to get back

To the people
who love and respect me.

I'm a southern girl.

And I came all the way
to the panamanian jungle.

And I kicked its a*s.

Whoo!

I'm out of here!

Narrator:
melissa lost 26 pounds

During her 3 weeks
in panama's burbayar jungle.

She battled torrential downpours
and constant hunger.

Persevering through
a contentious relationship

With her partner,
melissa thrived alone,

Even in the face
of a violent storm.

As a result, her psr
rises from 5.8 to 6.9.

Tapping out on day 14,
geoff lost 17 pounds.

The unceasing rain
and close-quarters living

Proved an emotional obstacle
too high for him to clear.

Geoff's psr drops
from 7.5 to 5.2,

Proving once again
how punishing it can be

To survive naked and afraid.

It's been a long journey today,
a lot of traveling.

And I finally get to come home
and see all my friends.

Whoo!

Oh, my god.

Oh, I missed you!
