I think I'm going to start working on our checker table.
We need something to do to pass the time
without wasting energy.
I wish I had chess pieces, but it's more work to build chess
pieces, so checkers it is.
I used the black charcoal for the black squares
and then that real white fine ash for the white squares
and made a bunch of pieces out of clay right now.
Damn, that's pretty good, actually.
The checkers look like little tiny cookies
dipped in powdered sugar.
Everything I do makes me think of food.
Oh, double jumping.
Boop, boop.
Damn!
Oh, you're toast now.
I mean, don't feel bad.
I've never lost checkers in my whole life.
I guess you're like a checkers prodigy.
Why the hell is he on "Naked and Afraid?"
Why isn't he like rich off checkers?
Yes, I'm a millionaire checker player.
[HYENA CALLS]
Shh!
Oh.
All right, good, our hide is still there.
Not as stinky as it was when it was wet.
Maybe we could rub some ashes on it
to take off the scent a little better.
I didn't think about that.
The ashes should neutralize the smell a bit and dry it out,
make it feel a little better to work with at least.
Are you ready to start shoe cobblering?
Sure.
This is going to be actually a lot of work
cutting this stuff into shapes.
I'm glad that Darvil can finally make some shoes.
The whole time we've been here, that was his main goal
was to come across a carcass.
Ow!
Damn.
See, that's why I need [BLEEP] shoes.
It's going to be hard to follow in that outline with how thick
this [BLEEP] is.
I wish we had like a pair of scissors.
Man, [BLEEP] it's so tough.
It's happening, it's just a very slow process.
That foot burrito with a delicious carcass tortilla.
Don't even feel a thing.
Ouch.
This is uncomfortable.
Oh, gosh.
If I could have had these things since day one,
I'd have been a very happy camper.
The level of comfortability is a 2.
This stuff is so hard now.
It's not like leather.
It's like hard, crunchy skin.
I might as well just walk out barefoot, because it's already,
like, leaving red marks.
This stuff reminds me of like the texture
of like a hard toenail.
Nope.
I've been lasting this full 21 days without shoes.
I mean, it can't get any worse.
It is the night of the 20th day tonight.
I'm so excited.
We did it.
We accomplished so much.
I'm so proud of us.
We've been an amazing team.
We've helped each other, we've supported each other every day.
Even though it's weird to be naked with somebody for 21
days that isn't your human, I still couldn't
have imagined a better partner.
Next time you'll be seeing us, it will be at the end.
Hey, guess what.
21.
Today's day 21!
I'm so excited.
We're leaving.
We're leaving!
The last time we ever have to open that door.
I hate the damn boma.
Smells like pee and stinky people,
and I'm just done with it.
Like, you could light a match to the boma
and I'd be like, bye, bitch.
Feels nice to just leave all this stuff behind.
OK.
Obviously there's us here.
There is our rock and our fig tree.
It looks like there's a game trail
right here we need to get on.
There could be hippos and crocs in there.
OK.
It looks like we're going to have
to cross it a couple of times.
Just going to have to be really careful.
And that game trail looks like it's pretty defined,
so hopefully we can just cross the river
and follow it right up to the extraction point.
Let's grab our stuff and go.
All right.
I'm so excited to get out of here,
but I am worried it's going to be a tough one.
Just a couple of days ago, Lynsey
had a crazy dizzy spell where she fell on the ground
and was incapacitated.
It could definitely happen again.
Heat stroke or heat exhaustion are definite possibilities
during this extraction.
Got your shoes.
Yeah.
All right, let's get out of here.
Hate you.
Mm!
Hasta la vista, boma.
I'm going to miss that boma like a malignant melanoma.
NARRATOR: To reach their extraction point,
Darvil and Lindsey face a grueling five mile hike
downriver, through game trails covered with skin piercing four
inch acacia thorns, all while keeping
an eye out for leopards, rhinoceros, and elephants.
They then have to navigate a narrow path near deeper waters
infested with Nile crocodile and hippopotami.
With powerful jaws and 20 inch long teeth,
they are responsible for up to 3,000
deaths in Africa per year.
Oh, there's a lot of hippo dung.
Yeah, there is.
We're going to have to be careful.
Just keep our eyes open.
I'm a little bit nervous to go through this uncharted
territory, because I don't know what we're up against,
you know.
There's a lot of wild animals.
My strategy is, like, keep your head on a swivel
and just go slow.
Careful through here, lots of thorns right here.
OK.
This bushy stuff, like leopards or god knows
what can hide in this stuff.
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
That's thorny.
This looks like it's going to be uncomfortable on our feet.
Sure you don't want to put on shoes, buddy?
Ooh, ooh.
Careful, some thorns over here.
Yeah, I think I'll put on my shoes now.
Good call.
You know what, screw it.
I'm not going to put my shoes on.
You're not?
If you're barefooting it, I'm barefooting it.
Buddy, you can wear your shoes.
No, we're going to go through this together.
From the looks of this trail we're on,
it looks like a proper game trail.
Look at this.
This looks like hippo droppings right here.
Oh, it's like wet wet.
It's very fresh.
That's a little nerve-wracking.
DARVIL: There are definitely hippos and other beasts around.
The proof is in the pudding.
I'm, like, stepping in the pudding nonstop.
Something could have eyes on you and you wouldn't even know.
Definitely keep hearing some rustling
around or game up ahead.
We better be careful.
There's a lot of thick reeds and stuff over here.
Yeah.
It makes me nervous.
Could be a hippo in there.
Smells like hippo.
If you could-- if I could put a smell on a hippo,
smells like hippo right now.
[GRUNT]
Did you hear something?
Yeah.
Whoa.
I bet you this is where the hippos and crocs
and stuff are on the map.
Yeah.
Walking along this river makes me nervous.
Yeah, a great, great spot for a croc ambush.
The quicker we're out of here, the better.
My gosh, I didn't think we'd be rock climbing.
Ugh.
OK, give me like one minute.
I just need to like--
Rest for a second?
Yeah.
I feel like I'm going to pass out again.
Just a couple of deep breaths.
I'm like, listen, body, shut up.
At the end of this hike, you have your family.
Like, I will drag myself by my nails to the extraction point.
OK.
I think this looks like a good crossing point.
Yeah, this is it.
This is not going to be super easy I don't think.
Could we kind of walk along these rocks here?
And then it doesn't look very deep right there.
DARVIL: Here we go.
Crossing the river is like walking on ice.
The algae that grows on the rocks is so slick.
Are these rocks right here deep that you're on right now?
That spot looks pretty deep to me.
Ugh!
[BLEEP]
Damn!
You all right?
Poor toe.
That river crossing sucked.
My butt hurts.
My butt's burning.
It's got to be close.
Look how the landscape's flattened out.
I bet you there's a road close by.
Fricking better be.
I'm smelling something weird.
Maybe there's an animal around.
Do you hear a car?
DARVIL: Oh.
Dude, there's a Jeep!
What the heck?
There's the fricking truck!
We're getting fricking rescued!
Finally.
This truck isn't going anywhere without me.
Woo!
We made it.
DARVIL: Yeah.
High five.
LYNSEY: We fricking did it, dude.
