Timeline
- 00:00:00 - 00:05:00
The introduction sets the stage for a wilderness survival challenge where five men and five women are dropped off in remote locations with the promise of a cash prize for the last surviving group. As they prepare for their first night, both sides express confidence, but the girls adopt a strategy of thriving rather than just surviving.
- 00:05:00 - 00:10:00
On the first night, both groups begin constructing shelters, with the girls quickly establishing a camp in a better location. However, it’s noted that the upcoming challenges will test their resolve. The boys struggle to gather food and water while the girls are already hunting for clean water to ensure their survival.
- 00:10:00 - 00:15:00
As tensions rise, the host informs both teams that quitting early does not prevent them from receiving part of the prize money, introducing a strategic element to the game. The girls plan to eliminate weaker team members to increase their food supply, while the boys are oblivious to this looming strategy.
- 00:15:00 - 00:20:00
The boys face internal strife as they accuse one member of slacking while trying to ration their food supply. Meanwhile, the girls prepare for potential self-elimination, emphasizing teamwork and strategy. The first participant voluntarily leaves, contributing to the strategic plan of the women's team, which proves beneficial in the following days of challenging weather conditions.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00
As participation dwindles, the host announces various challenges, testing the teams and introducing the element of diminishing numbers. The girls, now at a strategic advantage, begin flourishing even as individual morale fluctuates. A surprise storm hits the boys’ camp, worsening conditions and increasing their likelihood of quitting due to dwindling resources and morale issues.
- 00:25:00 - 00:31:47
By day 60, Phaedra and TJ face off in a final challenge with the stakes higher than ever. They must decide on items to acquire, leading to a tense negotiation that ultimately ends without the hoped-for reward. As weeks pass, both do their best to survive in isolation; however, the loneliness takes a toll on them. The end of the competition leads to a twist where only Phaedra wins, bringing them all to victory after a grueling mental and physical trial.

- 00:00:00I just dropped off five men and five women in the middle of the wilderness.
- 00:00:04And whichever group survives the longest wins that five hundred grand.
- 00:00:08I give you all three days.
- 00:00:09That money is all ours!
- 00:00:10That is your side of the woods, and that is your side of the woods.
- 00:00:14And you are not at any point allowed to cross sides
- 00:00:16or you'll be disqualified.
- 00:00:18You should go start prepping for your first night.
- 00:00:19- We out! - May the odds be ever in your favor.
- 00:00:22Men or women, let's see who wins.
- 00:00:24There's no way the girls are beating us.
- 00:00:26They're not five men.
- 00:00:28- How do you think the guys are doing? - Terrible!
- 00:00:30They probably stopped by now.
- 00:00:31We're not going to survive, we're going to thrive.
- 00:00:33As long as we're good at being a little hungry.
- 00:00:35We'll be fine.
- 00:00:36Oh, we got strawberries.
- 00:00:37What?
- 00:00:38Anything that's around here is on our food list.
- 00:00:40I'm already seeing a shelter in my head.
- 00:00:42There it is.
- 00:00:43- This will be our shelter. - Welcome home brothers!
- 00:00:46And miles away on the other side,
- 00:00:47the girls found a spot to set up their camp.
- 00:00:49The water looks pretty bad right here,
- 00:00:51so I'm hoping we can follow it back
- 00:00:53and maybe find a clean source to gather from.
- 00:00:55This is nice.
- 00:00:56Yeah, this might be the spot you guys.
- 00:00:58Things might be going smooth now,
- 00:00:59but this challenge will become the most brutal one that I've ever filmed.
- 00:01:03If I left now, I would regret it.
- 00:01:05It's so hard out here.
- 00:01:07I just heard some move in there, bro.
- 00:01:08I don't think we're alone out here.
- 00:01:10Okay, let's check what supplies we have.
- 00:01:12- Fruit. - Granola.
- 00:01:13Sausage.
- 00:01:14Dude, you got all the meat.
- 00:01:15I also gave each of them a full water bottle
- 00:01:17and some key survival gear.
- 00:01:19That's not a lot of food.
- 00:01:20We're gonna have to figure out how long we want to stretch this.
- 00:01:22Attention! Can all of you hear me?
- 00:01:23- We hear you loud and clear. - We're all here.
- 00:01:24- We hear you loud and clear. - We're all here.
- 00:01:25I just want to make sure we're all on the same page
- 00:01:27on how this challenge works. To make things more interesting.
- 00:01:29If a person leaves this challenge, they can still get their share of the money.
- 00:01:33The only thing that matters is which team has the last player left.
- 00:01:37- What? - We were not expecting that.
- 00:01:39No one ever does.
- 00:01:40It's up to each of you to decide whether you stay
- 00:01:43to help your teammates, or leave to save them food.
- 00:01:46Also, for this entire challenge, you will never know how many men
- 00:01:49are still left on their side, and the men will have no idea
- 00:01:52how many women are left on your side.
- 00:01:54It's a game of strategy. This will be fun.
- 00:01:56That food goes a lot further for like two people than five.
- 00:01:59Are we really only going to be able to sustain 1 or 2 people
- 00:02:01We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
- 00:02:03If anybody does quit, I do not hold it against you.
- 00:02:05- I will 100% holding it against you. - Yeah. For sure. Come on bro.
- 00:02:08Hey, after that first week, I think its strategy though,
- 00:02:11- We got to strategize. - One hundred percent.
- 00:02:12Hey, we're a team bro.
- 00:02:13- We're making it. - We're staying.
- 00:02:14Girls rule, boys drool.
- 00:02:17For the rest of the night.
- 00:02:18Both camps began
- 00:02:19constructing their shelters to prepare for any upcoming storms,
- 00:02:22and the guys built theirs out of the first twigs they found.
- 00:02:25We have the whole teepee built and everything.
- 00:02:27The girls are not doing that.
- 00:02:28Actually, they are.
- 00:02:29And they're doing it way better than the boys.
- 00:02:31- And, up! - We got it.
- 00:02:33I'm going to try and get a fire prepped.
- 00:02:36Bet we beat the guys in that.
- 00:02:38- There we go. - There we go.
- 00:02:39Let's go.
- 00:02:40What a Freakin start of a journey, boys.
- 00:02:43Night number one was kind of rough.
- 00:02:44It took me a long time to go to sleep.
- 00:02:47Good morning.
- 00:02:47We need more walls for the teepee still.
- 00:02:50Let's get making our house.
- 00:02:51I think the girls are doing way better than the boys right now.
- 00:02:53We are going through the woods because we need water.
- 00:02:56And to get clean water.
- 00:02:57The boys had to travel miles to undrinkable, filthy swamp.
- 00:03:00I hope the girls have to go through something like this.
- 00:03:02I'm not going to lie.
- 00:03:03You can't see anything in this water.
- 00:03:04I do not want to drink swamp water.
- 00:03:06Well over a mile and a half. Two mile walk.
- 00:03:08It's day two.
- 00:03:09And after hours of searching,
- 00:03:11the boys finally found their water source.
- 00:03:13We made it.
- 00:03:13Finally.
- 00:03:14By day three,
- 00:03:15the women were already strategizing to self eliminate
- 00:03:18some of their teammates to help preserve their food supply.
- 00:03:20If we as a team want to win this, diving into this,
- 00:03:24it's not sustainable even for two people.
- 00:03:26I would like to have two people here at least until the end.
- 00:03:28I would agree.
- 00:03:29And it was very clear to the whole team
- 00:03:31who those two girls would be.
- 00:03:32Phaedra and Julia are our survival mommies, and so we kind of are at their beck
- 00:03:37and call to help and do whatever we need.
- 00:03:38The boys, on the other hand, had absolutely no clue whatsoever.
- 00:03:42We are definitely not rationing it
- 00:03:43like, no, there's no talking strategy amongst us.
- 00:03:46Five people is a lot of people eating of that food stash.
- 00:03:49We can't last to the end with five people.
- 00:03:51Day four Josh and I were talking about us having to be the providers.
- 00:03:56While they are the entertainers.
- 00:03:58TJ and I were carrying the weight.
- 00:04:00Just been building, building, building, building for the team.
- 00:04:02And there's those three still sitting around the fire doing nothing.
- 00:04:06They just want to be served.
- 00:04:07Josh are you gonna tell us the food was done?
- 00:04:09- Yeah. - When?
- 00:04:11Did you know the food was done?
- 00:04:12- No. - I know I’m not the only one!
- 00:04:14Hey, I thought so, silence.
- 00:04:15By this point,
- 00:04:16the boys weren't even a week into the challenge and were already teaming up
- 00:04:20against one of their own.
- 00:04:21I will directly say to Josh,
- 00:04:22it looks like you're chillin all day,
- 00:04:24and then we're burning
- 00:04:25Gods amounts of energy day in and day out.
- 00:04:28And that hurt a lot.
- 00:04:29I mean, if anything past burning these calories that he's so tired
- 00:04:32about doing backflips and showing off in front of the camera.
- 00:04:34So it made me contemplate today
- 00:04:36whether I really want to do this anymore.
- 00:04:38While tension was making some of the men consider leaving.
- 00:04:40The girls were ready to do the same, but only as part of the strategy.
- 00:04:44- This food load might have to change. - It can't change.
- 00:04:46We're still not getting into rations.
- 00:04:48It is time to start as a team, sending people home for the goal of winning.
- 00:04:53It can't be more than two people touching the rations.
- 00:04:56So we have as a team decided that it's time for me to go home.
- 00:04:58This is Hannah, and I'm ready to leave.
- 00:05:00We will discreetly evacuate you out of the forest without alerting the boys.
- 00:05:04Let's do it with a discreet monster truck.
- 00:05:07We're about to pull up on their camp for the first elimination.
- 00:05:10I'm going to step away as a team strategy.
- 00:05:12It makes sense. More food for the other four.
- 00:05:14Let's get you out of here.
- 00:05:15I want you winning okay?
- 00:05:17You did so good!
- 00:05:18If the women end up winning.
- 00:05:19You're the smartest one here.
- 00:05:20You're the first out, but you'll get 100 grand.
- 00:05:23A lot of people said “look I would have just left”.
- 00:05:24Well, Hannah can consider herself lucky because for the next two days,
- 00:05:28intense rainstorms forced both of the teams
- 00:05:31to stay in their shelters and survive solely on their rations.
- 00:05:34We definitely can't live off this food for much longer.
- 00:05:36So come day ten, I decided to throw in a twist.
- 00:05:39And if you've ever seen one of my videos, you know what that means.
- 00:05:41It's time for a challenge.
- 00:05:43But to make it even more intense in this video, every ten days
- 00:05:46the boys and girls are going to have to face each other.
- 00:05:49And we're gonna kick things off by visiting the girls.
- 00:05:52Hi. It's day ten. What do you think that means?
- 00:05:54You're going to give us some great news?
- 00:05:56Depends.
- 00:05:57I need you to pick a leader and face one of the boys
- 00:06:00for a potential prize.
- 00:06:01I'll meet you at the bridge in an hour, whoever you pick.
- 00:06:03This is where we take the video up a notch.
- 00:06:05We choose Phaedra.
- 00:06:07Let's go see how the boys are doing.
- 00:06:08Welcome to the men's camp.
- 00:06:10You guys look so official.
- 00:06:11I need you guys to elect a leader that in one hour
- 00:06:15will meet me at the bridge.
- 00:06:16Unanimously, Killer p
- 00:06:18Man, I’m feeling extremely confident.
- 00:06:19Inside I feel a little scared.
- 00:06:21Come on in. These walks are so dramatic.
- 00:06:23Congratulations on surviving ten days.
- 00:06:25How's it going?
- 00:06:26Really well, actually.
- 00:06:27And remember,
- 00:06:28they have no idea how many people
- 00:06:30are still left from the opposing team.
- 00:06:32How many women do you think are still in?
- 00:06:34There's three.
- 00:06:35- How many men do you think are left? - I'm going to say three too.
- 00:06:37The funny thing is, both of them are completely wrong
- 00:06:40and neither will know the truth until one team wins it all.
- 00:06:43This challenge is simple.
- 00:06:45You're going to take turns firing at that target.
- 00:06:47And hanging from beneath a target is a bag full of perishable food.
- 00:06:50If you hit the target, it'll drop it.
- 00:06:52But if you miss, move it to the other side.
- 00:06:54She will then get an opportunity to try to win it.
- 00:06:57I'm so good at archery.
- 00:06:58I'm definitely second guessing this decision
- 00:07:00of sending Patrick and not me.
- 00:07:01- Oh Phaedra is gonna kill it. - Absolutely.
- 00:07:04Whatever it lands on fires first.
- 00:07:08Not in the water!
- 00:07:09- Men! - Okay.
- 00:07:11Fire away.
- 00:07:12Shot number one. We're out of here.
- 00:07:13- Have you ever shot an arrow before? - I have not.
- 00:07:15Oh. All right.
- 00:07:17I feel like I'm watching the Super Bowl.
- 00:07:18- Yeah. - First time shooting an arrow?
- 00:07:22First time shooting an arrow.
- 00:07:23- Bro, what happens? - Swing and a miss!
- 00:07:25Move the target to the other side.
- 00:07:27Let's see if the women's team can make it.
- 00:07:28Whoa! She's taking the jacket off.
- 00:07:30Oh, it's go time.
- 00:07:32Phaedra, your team desperately needs those rations.
- 00:07:35Will you be the one to bring them home?
- 00:07:42She got it!
- 00:07:44- Yeah! - Let's go!
- 00:07:46No way!
- 00:07:47Dude, that was like watching the Hunger Games.
- 00:07:50All right, let's go grab it.
- 00:07:54- Cheers to victory! - Cheers!
- 00:07:58Cut to a shot of the boys.
- 00:07:59They're struggling.
- 00:07:59Let's go, let's go.
- 00:08:01So y'all also need to eat a lot and quickly.
- 00:08:03I've noticed you keep saying y'all.
- 00:08:06So.
- 00:08:07Wait what?
- 00:08:07We had to dip into our rations after the rain.
- 00:08:09And look at this. This is primarily perishable.
- 00:08:11So although it adds for a while, it's not going to add long term.
- 00:08:15And so we had the conversation I would go.
- 00:08:16- You think about leaving right now. - Yes.
- 00:08:18Conveniently I'm already here
- 00:08:19- if you just want to hitch a ride back? - Yeah. Now.
- 00:08:21And so with a toast of Feastables and hugs to say goodbye.
- 00:08:24Bye Divas!
- 00:08:25We'll see you on the outside.
- 00:08:26The women's team was down to just three survivors,
- 00:08:29while the men's team still had all five.
- 00:08:31I know we can win this entire challenge for her.
- 00:08:33- I do too. - And Hannah.
- 00:08:34With plenty of food and one less person to split it with.
- 00:08:37The girls morale was through the roof.
- 00:08:38I'm feeling really good, really optimistic.
- 00:08:40We've been really pushing ourselves hard.
- 00:08:42So to have this meal is going to mean a lot.
- 00:08:44Cheers, guys.
- 00:08:46Delicious.
- 00:08:47However, losing the challenge took a real toll on TJ.
- 00:08:51I'm beating myself up pretty badly about the archery competition.
- 00:08:54Everyone thought it should have been me. Unanimously.
- 00:08:57- Killer P. - Killer P!
- 00:08:59I should have stepped up when I had the chance.
- 00:09:01When I was sitting on that chair and I saw the bows and arrows.
- 00:09:06I just thought
- 00:09:07it should have been me.
- 00:09:09The next challenge will be me.
- 00:09:11The girls enjoyed their abundance of food for the next few days.
- 00:09:13Cheers.
- 00:09:14The boys unfortunately had to still catch their fish.
- 00:09:17Let's go babe.
- 00:09:20No.
- 00:09:24No way.
- 00:09:27With the rations running dangerously low at this point,
- 00:09:29the boys team was starting to become hopeless.
- 00:09:31Bro Cam, I'm so glad that I got you here, bro.
- 00:09:34I know I may seem sluggish, and stuff, but this is all mental.
- 00:09:37Like I have nothing in me.
- 00:09:38The pressure had really started to get to Cameron,
- 00:09:40and while Sami tried to lift his spirits a little.
- 00:09:43But the morning of day 13, he had already made up his mind.
- 00:09:45The sleep deprivation has taken its toll.
- 00:09:48- I just hit my breaking point. - I'm proud of you, bro.
- 00:09:51Hold it down man.
- 00:09:52- I appreciate the journey, man. - Bye Cam!
- 00:09:54That was a big bummer.
- 00:09:55- Losing Cam today. - How's today for a dark day?
- 00:09:58But the boys weren't the only ones taking a loss.
- 00:10:00Today is Talia's day.
- 00:10:02We're going to miss her very much.
- 00:10:04We are.
- 00:10:05While the girls were leaving strategically with half $1 million in mind,
- 00:10:08the boys, on the other hand, were leaving from the difficulties.
- 00:10:11I'm so defeated.
- 00:10:12I'm grateful for this. It's just.
- 00:10:15This is freakin tough.
- 00:10:16Just had a break down, bro.
- 00:10:17Do you think you can make it to the next challenge?
- 00:10:19Oh, no. It's about to break me bro like.
- 00:10:23Alright bro.
- 00:10:24Big Hug
- 00:10:25So after giving some extra help upgrading their shelter,
- 00:10:28the boys went to bed and made the radio call in the morning.
- 00:10:31What up boys?
- 00:10:32I got a message on the walkie.
- 00:10:34It's going to have to be mine to explain, Jimmy.
- 00:10:35I'm not going to be the big macho man and say this isn't hard.
- 00:10:38All right, everyone, let's walk him out of the challenge. Come on.
- 00:10:41Leaving the boys camp for the last time.
- 00:10:43- Sami, give the guys a parting gift. - You want a T-shirt?
- 00:10:45- I'll take a T-shirt. - The literal clothes on his back.
- 00:10:48Let's get those shorts
- 00:10:48Now that you've taken everything from this man, is he free to go?
- 00:10:52He's free to go.
- 00:10:53He is now in the Sherpa, which means he is officially eliminated.
- 00:10:55Karl, get him out of here!
- 00:10:57Now we're down to three. Is the trend going to continue?
- 00:10:59Two days from now, we're going to be a one.
- 00:11:00Absolutely not.
- 00:11:01Just two weeks into the challenge, we had already lost half the players
- 00:11:05and things were only getting worse.
- 00:11:07I looked at that truck
- 00:11:08that picked him up and my first thought was jealousy.
- 00:11:11I don't know if I can make it to the end.
- 00:11:13With Josh already on the verge of quitting.
- 00:11:15Things got even worse as a massive storm rolled in.
- 00:11:21It's raining right here.
- 00:11:22Unlike the girls who could sleep soundly in their well-built shelter
- 00:11:25back at the boys camp,
- 00:11:26their home was not equipped to handle all of the rain.
- 00:11:29This is not how I want this to end.
- 00:11:31The torrential downpours continued for the next two days.
- 00:11:35My raincoat had drenched through and my whole belly
- 00:11:38was soaking wet in my waders and my pants were soaking wet.
- 00:11:41I was like, ready to quit.
- 00:11:43The rain has finally cleared up and
- 00:11:46Mama Phaedra is making us some little breakfast this morning.
- 00:11:51I've got a little beef stew. It's delicious.
- 00:11:53- I bet the boys are enjoying a happy meal. - I bet they're not.
- 00:11:56Bad news, I ran into my worst enemy.
- 00:11:58Poison ivy.
- 00:11:59It's spreading everywhere and unbearable painful.
- 00:12:02And I started wondering if my time here is coming up.
- 00:12:06We're in a better spot than the guys.
- 00:12:08Has to be, right?
- 00:12:09Not a lot of people can take this for a long amount of time.
- 00:12:12Hey, guys, we need to talk.
- 00:12:15The things I wanted to do, I definitely did.
- 00:12:17And at some point there is just the need to get out.
- 00:12:20The selfish part of me says you quit.
- 00:12:22I get a bigger meal.
- 00:12:26Hey, this is Josh at men's camp.
- 00:12:28I think I am ready to go today.
- 00:12:31And just like that, Josh was out.
- 00:12:34- Josh, hop on in. - Let's go, Karl!
- 00:12:37Let's hit the road.
- 00:12:38I'm gonna say this like, honestly, I believe 100% we just got stronger.
- 00:12:41We have enough food to last us as long as possible,
- 00:12:44plus win all the challenges.
- 00:12:45That's a pretty bold statement.
- 00:12:47So let's put that claim to the test.
- 00:12:49- What day is it, Chandler? - It's Friday.
- 00:12:52It's day 20.
- 00:12:53Which means it's time for our second challenge.
- 00:12:56Alert! Alert!
- 00:12:56Pick a captain and send them to the bridge.
- 00:12:59Easy work.
- 00:13:00All right. I'll see you in a minute. Okay. Sounds good.
- 00:13:02I'm going to show her that no matter what, she will never win.
- 00:13:05Since both of you didn't come last time, I need to make it clear.
- 00:13:08You step across the middle. You're eliminated.
- 00:13:10which may affect your team's chances of winning 500,000 dollars.
- 00:13:14Chandler, can you give me something to mark the middle?
- 00:13:16- It's okay. We'll put it back. - Yeah. There you go.
- 00:13:18- Hello. - Hi.
- 00:13:19- Nice to meet you. - You too.
- 00:13:21My team and I are offering you.
- 00:13:22And whoever's still at camp $50,000 if your team quits right now.
- 00:13:27Sounds like you might be scared that you might not make it to the 500 K.
- 00:13:30Anyone else feel the tension here?
- 00:13:32We'll see in day 33 when it's all over.
- 00:13:35You’re only giving yourself till day 33?
- 00:13:37Giving you till day 33.
- 00:13:40You guys are being as nice as possible.
- 00:13:41Also talking so much smack at the same time.
- 00:13:44Let's bring it together.
- 00:13:45So, because the storms are decimating
- 00:13:47your shelters in this challenge,
- 00:13:48you're gonna be competing for your own ginormous tent.
- 00:13:51This thing is bug proof. Waterproof.
- 00:13:53Hurricane season's coming in, so this would be clutch.
- 00:13:56Would you want something like this?
- 00:13:57I mean, I'll take it,
- 00:13:58but if the guys get this taste of comfort, maybe they'll leave.
- 00:14:01- Or it can make them last longer. - Doubt it.
- 00:14:03Oh, this is very nice.
- 00:14:04It's decision time.
- 00:14:06So this is different than the last challenge because both your teams
- 00:14:10could win a tent.
- 00:14:11I'm going to be in that tent.
- 00:14:12It would sit really nicely right there.
- 00:14:14All you have to do...
- 00:14:16is eliminate yourself.
- 00:14:19If Julia does take this, we won't have one more night together.
- 00:14:23That'll be hard.
- 00:14:23Since the women won the first challenge.
- 00:14:26- I need you to make your decision first. - No, come on, Julia.
- 00:14:28Do you want to eliminate yourself so your team can have that tent?
- 00:14:35I'm going to take the tent.
- 00:14:37Okay.
- 00:14:40So, it looks like, I am now officially by myself.
- 00:14:43I honestly can't believe you took that.
- 00:14:45Now it's your turn. Which is more important?
- 00:14:47You or that tent?
- 00:14:58All right.
- 00:14:59My team.
- 00:15:00- Thanks for coming out. - Thank you.
- 00:15:02That was crazy.
- 00:15:03Wait wait wait wait wait wait.
- 00:15:05I think it would really be huge
- 00:15:07for the overall strategy and the win, but,
- 00:15:10I thought I was actually going to get a chance to give her a hug goodbye.
- 00:15:14This isn't 100% rain proof. That could really end the competition.
- 00:15:18My whole mood has just changed.
- 00:15:20Back at the bridge,
- 00:15:21while Phaedra was gathering her new tent,
- 00:15:23TJ secretly stayed behind to investigate.
- 00:15:25Wait. No way.
- 00:15:27And what he found was like striking gold.
- 00:15:29It's weird to send only one person to pick up that tent.
- 00:15:32Now I know there's only one woman left.
- 00:15:35She will not outlast the two of us.
- 00:15:38I got to tell Pat. Patrick, are you awake?
- 00:15:40I spied on them, and it's one person left.
- 00:15:43The person that you went against on that first challenge.
- 00:15:46We have two, less food, less shelter.
- 00:15:49Now that you say like that,
- 00:15:50I feel like I made the wrong decision.
- 00:15:51Would you have preferred the tent or me?
- 00:15:55The tent.
- 00:15:56Unfortunately for TJ,
- 00:15:57the Intel he gathered at the bridge seemed to only make matters
- 00:16:00worse for the boys.
- 00:16:01He turned down dry shelter to come back.
- 00:16:04What kind of brother would do that? TJ
- 00:16:06If he would’ve took the tent, it would have sealed the deal
- 00:16:08Because we all know shelter is everything.
- 00:16:10And at the girls camp, Phaedra was officially carrying the team,
- 00:16:13setting up her brand new tent in just a few hours.
- 00:16:16Look at that.
- 00:16:17It's awesome.
- 00:16:18Just in case people are wondering who's going to win this.
- 00:16:21It's nice and cool in here.
- 00:16:23No bugs.
- 00:16:24There is more room than I know what to do with in here.
- 00:16:27While Phaedra had more room,
- 00:16:28the boys realized that having each other was the most valuable thing
- 00:16:31if they wanted to win their team half a million dollars.
- 00:16:34You may have that tent, but you're all alone.
- 00:16:36Us here at the guys camp, we still got two
- 00:16:38so we could always be socializing.
- 00:16:40And by challenge three, she's going to want to leave.
- 00:16:43For sure, bro.
- 00:16:44It was a pleasure being around Julia.
- 00:16:46Having such a lovely human to interact with.
- 00:16:50Got me spoiled, honestly.
- 00:16:51The boys seem to have much more than just each other too.
- 00:16:54About to go crawdad hunting. This is where killer Patt comes in.
- 00:16:57Need to get some food.
- 00:16:58Living off the land was going much better than I expected.
- 00:17:01There we go, and that's snapping turtle right there.
- 00:17:03But while the boys are finally thriving,
- 00:17:05Phaedra has found herself in a dark place.
- 00:17:07I do miss having some physical contact
- 00:17:10with people and like being able to give somebody a hug,
- 00:17:14or just like even a handshake or a high five would do.
- 00:17:21How about a high five?
- 00:17:23At this point, Phaedra literally began
- 00:17:25talking to herself out of loneliness.
- 00:17:27However, the boy's bond was continuing to grow.
- 00:17:30Dang, dude, that's as big as you.
- 00:17:33Look at the size of that thing.
- 00:17:34Dude, that's literally 5.5ft long.
- 00:17:37Sorry, six foot five.
- 00:17:39I'm so excited for Challenge Day right now.
- 00:17:41I'm hoping that we just go ahead and win.
- 00:17:43I'm ready to go home to my family. I'm ready for this to be over.
- 00:17:46We're going to see how challenge three goes.
- 00:17:47With TJ and Patrick's bond having grown stronger than ever.
- 00:17:50I knew exactly how to test them on the day 30 challenge.
- 00:17:53Are you going to be the captain?
- 00:17:54I was asking around, but nobody else was here.
- 00:17:57- By default, I'm the captain. - Okay.
- 00:17:59You did day ten.
- 00:18:01You did day 20.
- 00:18:02Who's going to be the day 30 captain?
- 00:18:04- Patrick. - Back to back.
- 00:18:05Lets go.
- 00:18:07Go get that dub.
- 00:18:08All right, this time we've painted a line instead of using a plant.
- 00:18:11Been a while since you saw each other.
- 00:18:12I'm really surprised to see you here, actually.
- 00:18:16Yeah.
- 00:18:16- Are you two ready to hear the challenge? - Yes.
- 00:18:18- Yes, sir. - Here's the deal.
- 00:18:20We have the families of every single contestant
- 00:18:23still in this challenge on the other side of the woods.
- 00:18:25And you guys have a choice to make.
- 00:18:27You can see your family, or everyone in your camp can see their family.
- 00:18:33You know, I do have a son that I would really like to see.
- 00:18:36so, I...
- 00:18:38I'm going to choose myself.
- 00:18:39Phaedra could’ve just tricked Patrick into thinking she’s not the only woman left.
- 00:18:43How about you?
- 00:18:44Are you picking your camp or yourself as well?
- 00:18:49I got to see my kids.
- 00:18:50I choose myself, too.
- 00:18:52Okay. The decisions have been made.
- 00:18:54Load the helicopters and fly them out.
- 00:19:00Oh, it's so good to see you.
- 00:19:09- Say Mister - Mister.
- 00:19:11- Beast. - Beast.
- 00:19:12- Challenge. - Challenge.
- 00:19:13- Let's go! - Let's go!
- 00:19:15Let's go. Hey, beautiful.
- 00:19:18I miss my mom.
- 00:19:19And I really missed my son.
- 00:19:21My family is the main reason why I was out here.
- 00:19:23And the reason why I'm still standing here.
- 00:19:25My time has just been reset.
- 00:19:26I'll see y'all ten days.
- 00:19:30I'm just going to sit here and just feel sad.
- 00:19:33I haven't felt like the best today.
- 00:19:35I've had some time to reflect on the last challenge,
- 00:19:38I'm super grateful for that experience
- 00:19:41and for having him come, but after seeing Lincoln.
- 00:19:44I really want to go home.
- 00:19:46I'm not going anywhere.
- 00:19:47I was a little bit worried when Patt got to see his family.
- 00:19:50I'm locked and loaded for challenge four.
- 00:19:52But it just lit a fire underneath him to say, I'm going to win this.
- 00:19:55Obviously, I've got to this point because of me
- 00:19:57trusting another person.
- 00:19:58This right here is about to prove
- 00:20:00how important a strong and good friendship is
- 00:20:03compared to doing things on your own.
- 00:20:04And although having someone by your side can ward off the boredom,
- 00:20:07being alone had its perks as well.
- 00:20:09I don't even know if I can eat this all.
- 00:20:11I literally have more food than I can eat out here.
- 00:20:14I'm not going anywhere, Men's camp.
- 00:20:16And so it was the battle of the rations versus companionship.
- 00:20:19That is, until the night came
- 00:20:21and the men's camp got a surprise visit from an uninvited guest.
- 00:20:26What is that?
- 00:20:27There's something out there.
- 00:20:34Stay still.
- 00:20:41And when the morning came, TJ was brave enough
- 00:20:43to find out exactly just what the source of the noise was.
- 00:20:46Yeah, that's definitely from a bear claw.
- 00:20:49Verified by our trail cam.
- 00:20:51A bear came up right behind the men's shelter,
- 00:20:53which would be enough to scare any sane person.
- 00:20:56Last night, a bear came through camp.
- 00:20:58Awesome.
- 00:20:59And although Patrick was feeling confident about staying yesterday,
- 00:21:02I'm not going anywhere.
- 00:21:03This close encounter had him thinking otherwise today.
- 00:21:06Haven't you seen my family?
- 00:21:08That bear got me realizing like I don't do outdoors.
- 00:21:11It's like breaking news.
- 00:21:14I'm a DJ.
- 00:21:16Yo, TJ, we got to talk about something.
- 00:21:18- Yeah. What's up? - Me and TJ we're just speaking.
- 00:21:20The rations will make more sense
- 00:21:22if I leave so that TJ can finish this.
- 00:21:25Him saying to me, I trust you, and I'm going to leave is huge.
- 00:21:30Yes. For this is...
- 00:21:35He's going to be fine.
- 00:21:37Please let me grab the talkie.
- 00:21:39This is Patrick at Man's camp.
- 00:21:40I am exiting the competition.
- 00:21:43On my way.
- 00:21:44And since I have Logan Paul and KSI with me,
- 00:21:46I guess I'll bring them along too.
- 00:21:48Dude, this is gorgeous.
- 00:21:49If you're gonna survive in the wilderness, this is like the environment to do it.
- 00:21:52Bro how do you know where anything is?
- 00:21:55What? What?
- 00:21:56Oh, no.
- 00:21:57I just saw a little fly.
- 00:21:58Yo, Patrick.
- 00:22:00I got the call that you want to go?
- 00:22:02Yeah, I want to leave him with the most amount of food.
- 00:22:04- Can I see how much food you have left? - Oh, yeah absolutely.
- 00:22:06- Come over to our pantry. - Now that he's leaving.
- 00:22:09How long do you think this food will last you?
- 00:22:11This will get me to day 60, challenge 6.
- 00:22:15How long do you think the girl or girls have left?
- 00:22:17By challenge five, it's going to be over.
- 00:22:18No shot.
- 00:22:19She already has 13 days in isolation.
- 00:22:22I'm just starting at one. We have the advantage.
- 00:22:24I am alone.
- 00:22:27So with both camps now only having one remaining survivor,
- 00:22:30they both had to find ways of fighting the isolation
- 00:22:32to make it through the next few days.
- 00:22:34And while TJ hunted the animals
- 00:22:36to make up for his dwindling rations,
- 00:22:38Big Belly.
- 00:22:39Phaedra was hunting them to actually keep as pets.
- 00:22:42Little princess Shirley.
- 00:22:43Neither TJ or Phaedra were showing signs of giving up,
- 00:22:46which brought them all the way up to day 40,
- 00:22:49which of course means another challenge.
- 00:22:52Welcome back. It's been ten days.
- 00:22:54Hi.
- 00:22:54Dude it's awesome that you spent this time alone,
- 00:22:57but how do you logically plan to beat me?
- 00:23:00Because we have enough rations to last us 80 days.
- 00:23:02I don't have responsibilities back home.
- 00:23:04And then on top of that, we're having fun at camp.
- 00:23:06There's nothing to do.
- 00:23:09I don't like to get ahead of myself
- 00:23:10and be like, “Yeah, I’ve got 90 days, I've got this in the bag.”
- 00:23:13Because like when you started to get arrogant.
- 00:23:15But in 20 days, 30 days, do you really want to be here?
- 00:23:18What about Lincoln?
- 00:23:21I don't really think you should use people's
- 00:23:22children's names as weapons against them.
- 00:23:24That's not appropriate.
- 00:23:25I will use whatever weapon I can.
- 00:23:27It's getting intense.
- 00:23:28How you decide to treat me has no factor on how long I decide to stay out here.
- 00:23:33Likewise.
- 00:23:34Time for a day 40 challenge.
- 00:23:36Both of you will be presented with the survival item.
- 00:23:39If you want it, then simply
- 00:23:40write it down on your board and you'll keep it.
- 00:23:42However, if both of you write it down, neither of you will get it.
- 00:23:45This means that you'll have to try
- 00:23:47to convince each other to actually keep an item.
- 00:23:49And for our first item, we have a fishing pole
- 00:23:52and all the bait you could ever need.
- 00:23:54And one of you give up an item without receiving something in return.
- 00:23:57They both wrote fishing rod.
- 00:23:59Not off to a good start.
- 00:24:00Our next item is Dude Wipes who help me pay for the video.
- 00:24:04Dude Wipes are flushable disposable wet wipes
- 00:24:06made from 99% plant based materials and water.
- 00:24:09Oh very refreshing.
- 00:24:10It's time for what might be the most important vote of your life.
- 00:24:13Not only are they better than toilet paper,
- 00:24:15but Dude Wipes also work well for showering,
- 00:24:17which these two could use.
- 00:24:19He wrote Dude Wipes. And she wrote...
- 00:24:21Nothing.
- 00:24:22Whoa, congratulations!
- 00:24:24Here you go!
- 00:24:25I got Dude Wipes.
- 00:24:26Item number three is more Dude Wipes
- 00:24:29because they're the sponsor of the video.
- 00:24:31- What do you think of the Dude Wipe? - I mean, it's working.
- 00:24:33Yeah, it's working amazing. It's time to vote.
- 00:24:35Did you write anything?
- 00:24:36He did not. All right, here's your Dude Wipes.
- 00:24:39If you want to be like these two and try dude wipes for yourself.
- 00:24:41Just go to Walmart, Amazon or basically anywhere you shop at.
- 00:24:44They sell them there, stop using normal toilet paper.
- 00:24:47That's for losers.
- 00:24:48Getting to clean themselves after over a month, it was a real boost
- 00:24:51and at this point, either one could win it for their team.
- 00:24:53but thanks to the girls strategy
- 00:24:55of intentionally eliminating most of their team early on.
- 00:24:59Phaedra’s not worried about food at all.
- 00:25:01They say how much gas you have in the tank, and truly, my answer
- 00:25:04is until they decide they don't want to be here anymore.
- 00:25:07As the days passed,
- 00:25:08TJ was getting more confident he would win it for the boys.
- 00:25:11I'm just so set on this ending challenge five
- 00:25:14I'll be heavily surprised if this goes past challenge five.
- 00:25:17Everything in my heart, soul, mind is saying challenge five.
- 00:25:21Even though it's come down to a 1v1, both TJ and Phaedra are still in it
- 00:25:25for their fallen soldiers.
- 00:25:28And as for TJ, a victory couldn't come soon enough.
- 00:25:31I'm going to have a double portion of rice.
- 00:25:34Just make sure that
- 00:25:35I'm going to have a fantastic winning day of day 50.
- 00:25:39And now it was time to put all that talk to the test and see
- 00:25:42if our day 50 challenge will really be in TJ's favor.
- 00:25:46Contestants, come on in. Come on in.
- 00:25:48I couldn't make day 50
- 00:25:50because I'm currently spending seven days in a cave,
- 00:25:53- so I'm hologramming in. - How's the cave?
- 00:25:56Oh my gosh this is insane!
- 00:25:58It's pretty brutal, not going to lie.
- 00:25:59You guys haven't seen each other in a while.
- 00:26:01You want to talk?
- 00:26:06All right.
- 00:26:06What do you two think the day 50 challenge is?
- 00:26:09I have no idea.
- 00:26:10I see a container that says supplies on it.
- 00:26:12For day 50.
- 00:26:14We're going to celebrate.
- 00:26:15And you both get Feastables.
- 00:26:17- Okay! - Yes!
- 00:26:19But little did they know, there was a twist coming.
- 00:26:21You each get a multipack of chocolate.
- 00:26:24That's so nice. Yeah.
- 00:26:25These are available in Walmart, Albertsons and Kroger's nationwide.
- 00:26:29Go buy Feastables and try it for yourself.
- 00:26:31- That's it. - You can go back to your camps.
- 00:26:33Enjoy your chocolate or save it.
- 00:26:35See you on day 60.
- 00:26:38- Are they far away? - Yeah.
- 00:26:39Okay, what they don't know Chandler
- 00:26:42is inside one of those chocolate bars is a message
- 00:26:45that tells them to come back to the middle to get three days worth of food.
- 00:26:49You show the viewers the food.
- 00:26:51Let's see who finds the message first.
- 00:26:53And wins that food.
- 00:26:54I'll see you in a couple of days, Chandler.
- 00:26:56I love you.
- 00:26:57Wait.
- 00:26:59Say it back.
- 00:27:01He didn’t say it.
- 00:27:02Challenge five.
- 00:27:03We finally got our Feastables.
- 00:27:06These are chocolate.
- 00:27:07Chocolate will melt.
- 00:27:09So I need to find the best way to store these.
- 00:27:11I think I might just open another one because honestly,
- 00:27:14I know that seems excessive, but it's my win.
- 00:27:16I have one square after every meal that should last me
- 00:27:20throughout the rest of the competition.
- 00:27:22My mental health right now after challenge five is through the roof.
- 00:27:25While TJ was feeling confident, he was so strict on rationing
- 00:27:28that he barely made a dent in the Feastables.
- 00:27:30I feel like I'm better rationing my chocolate
- 00:27:33because that's a better commodity.
- 00:27:35So I know I have to save it.
- 00:27:36And save it he did.
- 00:27:37TJ went the next three days
- 00:27:38without touching a single piece of chocolate.
- 00:27:40But then on day 57, he found his favorite flavor.
- 00:27:43A peanut butter Feastable.
- 00:27:45Whoa, wait, what? There's something on the back.
- 00:27:48If you're reading this, there is three days
- 00:27:50worth of food on the bridge for the first person to grab it. Good luck
- 00:27:54Feastable, you'll have to wait.
- 00:27:55Let's go.
- 00:27:55Three days worth of food. So much.
- 00:27:57Let's go.
- 00:27:58I don't see her.
- 00:27:59This might be a man victory.
- 00:28:03Looks to be
- 00:28:05she already got it.
- 00:28:07Dang.
- 00:28:08Phaedra actually beat out TJ because just four days ago this happened.
- 00:28:12Three days worth of food.
- 00:28:15It’s still here people.
- 00:28:16Oh, you guys.
- 00:28:17It feels really good to win this.
- 00:28:19Dang, Phaedra’s not even here to gloat about it.
- 00:28:21I just feel so sad now. I ran for nothing.
- 00:28:24Feels like I've been here for nothing.
- 00:28:25If TJ isn't careful, that feeling could quickly become reality.
- 00:28:29One of these contestants will win their team $500,000,
- 00:28:32while the other will have spent months in the wilderness
- 00:28:34and go home with nothing to show for it
- 00:28:36I can't live off the land because it'll take too many calories,
- 00:28:39and it's not even a guarantee every day.
- 00:28:42We just killed the last of our egg scramble.
- 00:28:44It has been difficult for me to be alone out here.
- 00:28:49Every day is hard and is kind of taking its toll on me.
- 00:28:52It is night 59.
- 00:28:54I will run out of rations tomorrow.
- 00:28:57I am praying that the prize for tomorrow is more rations.
- 00:29:01I don't want to give up just yet.
- 00:29:03It's time for the day 60 challenge.
- 00:29:05So you guys met on day 40,
- 00:29:07Day 50 and once again on day 60.
- 00:29:09It's the two of you.
- 00:29:10How is the three days of extra rations?
- 00:29:12I was going to ask you. “How is your candy bars?”
- 00:29:15How are you feeling? You got ten days left in you?
- 00:29:17Oh, I got ten days left in me.
- 00:29:19The day 60 challenge is simple.
- 00:29:21Both of you write down anything you want.
- 00:29:23You’ll then show each other what you wrote
- 00:29:25and if you approve each other's items, you can have both of them.
- 00:29:28But if just one of you says no, you both get nothing.
- 00:29:31You could ask for a lot and there's a high chance, she says no.
- 00:29:34Or you could ask for a little and potentially get it.
- 00:29:37- Do you have what you want written down? - I do.
- 00:29:38Do you have what you want written down?
- 00:29:40- Yes. - 3, 2, 1, reveal.
- 00:29:45Phaedra wants an art kit and TJ wants a private chef
- 00:29:49for seven days, two meals a day, fully equipped with spices and food.
- 00:29:53Do you approve her getting an art kit?
- 00:29:55Oh, yeah.
- 00:29:55TJ approved you getting an art kit.
- 00:29:57So nice.
- 00:29:59Do you approve his private chef for seven days?
- 00:30:02Two meals a day with spices?
- 00:30:04I will run out of rations tomorrow.
- 00:30:10Oh, man.
- 00:30:11I would love to, but I can't, I’m going to have to say no on that.
- 00:30:13What?
- 00:30:16You were too greedy.
- 00:30:17That was day 60.
- 00:30:18You're free to talk as much as you want.
- 00:30:20Good luck in the next ten days.
- 00:30:21- See you on day 70? - Yeah.
- 00:30:23- All right. - All right.
- 00:30:24- Bye. - See you!
- 00:30:25For me, the physical aspects of things out here are not the problem.
- 00:30:29It's the mental things.
- 00:30:31There goes that idea.
- 00:30:32I had everyone's hopes and dreams on my back.
- 00:30:36I think I'm going to have to put that stone down.
- 00:30:39I want to go home so badly.
- 00:30:40I've just been out here for so long.
- 00:30:45I just received a radio call saying someone wanted to leave.
- 00:30:48The person leaving is waiting in this vehicle.
- 00:30:51Bring out the team.
- 00:30:52Each contestant here is about to find out if their team just won $500,000.
- 00:30:58Will it be the men or the women?
- 00:31:00The contestant who forfeited will now reveal themselves.
- 00:31:06The boys lost and the girls won.
- 00:31:10We didn't want you guys to go home empty handed,
- 00:31:12so we're going to give each of you ten grand for at least competing.
- 00:31:16Phaedra, still alone at the girls camp and has no idea she's just won.
- 00:31:21Phaedra, are you here?
- 00:31:23- You're back? - Yeah.
- 00:31:24Come with me real quick.
- 00:31:25I found this backpack, and I was curious if it was yours.
- 00:31:27It might be.
- 00:31:28That was actually a lie.
- 00:31:29You just won!
- 00:31:32You did it!
- 00:31:34I really missed you guys.
- 00:31:36- I thought you guys every day - You did it, though.
- 00:31:38- Yeah. - You got it. You did it.
- 00:31:40You all just won $100,000 each.
- 00:31:43Maybe next time boys.
