10x15 - Feel the Burn

[bunniefuu]

I got my diary kit
and I'm so excited!

I can't wait to
get in the woods.

[ Laughs ]

Gettin' ready,
toughening up my feet.

I cannot believe that I'm
gonna be on the show!

I've been watching it
for years. I'm a huge fan.

Narrator: Over 200 million
people around the world

have watched expert survivalists

battle the toughest
conditions on earth.

[ Woman screams ]

Narrator: And over
30,000 fans have applied

to tackle the special 14-day
challenge themselves.

Woman: Way tougher than
I thought it was gonna be.

Woman #2: Oh, my God! Max!

So glad I'm here.

Narrator: Now two more
fans have been chosen.

I walk around the house naked

with the windows
open all the time.

My wife yells at me,
"close the curtains!"

I'm really excited. Ahh!

Narrator: But this time,
they're taking on a location

- so hostile...
- Freezing!

Narrator: ...That they will
require training with a local expert

near the survival area.

This instruction is essential

to give them the slightest
chance of making it 14 days.

[ Shane groans ] Jen:
What are we doing out here?

Just out on a run,

ready to head out on
"Naked and Afraid."

I'm a super athlete. I've
always been competitive.

I had abs when I
was 8 years old.

I do a bunch of
endurance challenge races.

They're ultra
distance trail running.

I embrace discomfort and
any challenging situation,

I push through. Whoo!

I'm a competitive person
that's always looking

for that next race,

and "Naked and
Afraid" is my next race.

Ow!

I love "Naked and Afraid."

I've watched it so much,
I can't get enough of it.

I just sit there and I'm
like, "I wanna do that.

I wish I could be there."

I'm doing this challenge
to prove to myself

that I can literally
do anything,

but I've never been tested
in a primitive survival setting.

I can't believe that
this is gonna be me!

I'm gonna miss pizza so much!

[ Laughter ]

Even though I'm just a fan,

I think I can take
on the challenge

because I'm an old country boy.

I grew up in Warm
Springs, Georgia.

For fun, I would
go out in the woods

and make shelters and make huts.

I used to trap animals.

I grew up eatin' squirrels
like it was, like, chicken wings.

We didn't have a lot
of money growin' up.

If we didn't catch
somethin', there'd be nights

I might could go without food.

I was doin' wilderness survival
before it was actually a fad.

Hey!

Now I'm comfortable in my
life, but I just wanna make sure

that I haven't become too soft.

I'm doin' this to prove
to myself, my family,

that I'm tough enough
to do this challenge.

Well, here I go.

Narrator: Jen and Shane are
headed to Yupukari, Guyana...

...where they will face
the biggest apex predators

in South America.

Jen: I'm here! [ Laughs ]

I could cry, I'm so happy.

All right, so I just
got to Guyana.

'Bout to head out and do a
little bit of survival training,

kind of let me know
what I'm gettin' into.

Narrator: These fans will
be entering the territory

of black caiman,

16-foot anacondas,
and giant anteaters

that can k*ll with a swipe
of their 6-inch claws.

But the heat here
poses the biggest threat.

Heat and water is gonna
be the number-one priority.

Narrator: Located only
200 miles from the equator,

the sun can burn in
less than 10 minutes,

and temperatures can
reach into the triple digits

well before midday.

You will be exposed
to dehydration.

This cactus can
actually save your life

and keep you in
the game out there.

Although the heat
can be debilitating,

daily storms can also
cause the temperatures

to plummet over 30
degrees in minutes...

...and create the
perfect breeding ground

for swarms of mosquitoes
and biting sand flies.

- Wow.
- ...Eat your tissue.

[ Sighs ] Okay.

Shane: Grew up my
whole life strugglin'.

We didn't have a lot
of money growin' up.

And my parents
pulled me out of school

to help my dad
with construction,

so, you know, we
basically lived off the land

and grew up that way.

That's why I'm
excited to be here.

I get to test myself
to see if I still got it.

Narrator: Shane has been
selected for this challenge

based on his solid
outdoor experience

growing up in the country,

putting his primitive
survival rating,

or PSR, at 4.5.

Jen: Feels like race day to me.

I have a lot of nervous energy.

I took one last squirty poop
and prayed on the toilet.

It doesn't get much
more race day than that.

This is gonna be the
most challenging thing

I've ever done,

but I feel like I have
the mental toughness

to follow through with
nearly anything that I do.

Narrator: Jen has been chosen
for this extreme fan challenge

based on her strong
mental fortitude

and background as
an endurance athlete.

But with almost no
primitive survival experience,

she begins with a PSR of 3.8.

and then just be blindsided
with the absolute opposite.

Honestly, the hardest
thing being out here as a fan

[voice breaking] Is I'm not
a professional survivalist.

Like, I don't know everything.

Part of me doesn't know
why I do this. [ Cries ]

But I don't wanna give up.

♪

I'm a runner.

I just like to go after what
I want and not give up

because I like to
see the finish line.

This isn't a 200-mile relay.

This is 14 days of the
hardest race I've ever done.

♪

My face is getting
really skinny.

My posture's getting
pretty crumpled over.

I've eaten like 100
to 200 calories total.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my
God. There's a snake!

Shane: [ Exhales
sharply ] Damn, it's hot!

In the heat of the day,

pretty much does
a toll on your feet.

- Look at this.
- Oh, that's an idea.

Right, I'm thinking...

You know what I'm
saying? Like this.

Oh, I like that. That's fun.

You see what I'm saying?
I feel like Quasimodo.

It's a little slow, but...

Careful! There's kind of, like,

a white-ish, liquidy
stuff coming out of it,

and I know that's
sometimes a little iffy.

[Bleep]

Jen: There's a snake.

He was crawling through my fire!

Oh, hell, no! You are gonna die.

It's small and black.

Right there.

First snake I've ever k*lled.

Did it.

I feel like a badass
warrior woman out here.

Honestly, I see people k*ll
snakes on the show all the time,

and that's what I
was hoping to do.

Definitely the most extreme,
outrageous thing I've ever done.

Wow, I didn't know that
would keep happening.

So I've seen people
do this a lot cleaner.

This is my first time.

Oh, my God.

Little snake kebab.

I don't know how I eat this

with all these bones
and stuff in here.

Having something grilled up,
it gives me a sense of home.

First time I've ever
eaten snake. Not bad.

So, it's almost
the end of day 13,

and tomorrow's extraction day.

My eye's really on
the prize right now.

I can't wait for extraction,

but the insertion
hike was terrible.

My feet were pretty beat up.

I think some real solid
shoes will help out.

Really, I just used
kind of a weaving tactic.

Some vine and some bush rope.

Dude, these are badass.

♪

My fire went out last night...

It's extraction day,

so it's good to see the sun.

I've been through
a lot out here,

and I'm just ready
to do this extraction.

Narrator: To get to
her extraction point,

Jen will have to trudge 4
miles over rugged savanna

under Guyana's
scorching Equatorial sun.

She'll have to negotiate
painful saw grass

and thorny vegetation
that conceals swamps

filled with large black caiman,

deadly predators even
jaguars are known to avoid.

Jen: This is gonna
be really difficult.

I feel just determined
to complete this.

♪

The sun is really beating down.

I can tell I might be
getting burnt today.

♪

Wow, I'm just stuck.

[ Crying ]

♪

It's just a lot to take
'cause I'm so weak.

Ugh.

I think I need to get
some cover in the jungle

and get out of the sun.

♪

[ Leaves rustling ]

It's very dense
and thorny in here.

The shoes are helping,

but the legs are
definitely getting spiked.

There's no sun, but there's
a lot more dense trees

to navigate through.

♪

Oh [bleep]

The swamp. I was really
hoping to not encounter this area.

I've gotta cross this
swamp to make it

to extraction on the other side.

I'm gonna have to go
really slow through this

and keep my eye out for
the caiman and anaconda.

♪

I'm poking in front of me,
just to make sure that I'm safe.

Water's getting really deep.

Just poking around to make sure

Almost there.

You got this, Jen.

[Bleep]

Oh, my God.

I can't believe I
made it out of there.

I'm hoping that the
extraction point's close.

Wow.

I'm just so tired and out of it.

Feeling pretty weak as well.

Oh, I made it!

[ Sobs ]

[ Sobs, laughs ] I made it!

[ Sobs ] Oh, my God!

♪

Whoo-hoo!

I'm so proud of myself. [ Sobs ]

This is one of the
toughest environments.

The fact that I made it
through this challenge,

all on my own, this will
give me the confidence

and the trust in myself,
that I can tackle anything.

I think I'm a little more
than a fan now. [ Laughs ]

Narrator: During
her 14-day challenge,

Jen's fierce grit and
perseverance enabled her

to endure 11 days on her own.

She dropped a
total of 16 pounds,

and dramatically
increased her PSR

from a 3.8 to a 6.4.

Thank you, Guyana! Whoo!
