Hunger Pains

[wind howling]
[evocative music playing]
[wind gusting]
[thunderclap]
[rain pattering]
[evocative music continues]
[narrator] The sun rises once again.
[exhales]
[narrator] After three days of rain
and freezing temperatures
without any substantial food,
all teams are feeling physically weak.
[Brian] We can only eat seaweed so long.
We're gonna have to start worrying
about protein, dude.
[narrator] At this rate, whoever gets
a consistent food source fastest
has a clear advantage.
[Jill] About the last hour
we've been collecting limpets.
Kinda getting out of breath.
There's not enough proteins
and vitamins going into our bodies.
[Amber] Here, there's a nice worm.
Drop it in.
[Amber] Alrighty. Welcome to Alaska.
[Lee] It's still wiggling.
[Angie] If that squirrel comes back
- [Seth] We need to kill that squirrel.
- He's dead.
I'm looking to munch on some
little squirrel thighs. [chuckles]
[narrator] As the only team
to lose a member,
Charlie has one less set of hands
to assist in the hunt for protein.
- It is one less mouth to feed, though.
- It is.
So, from a very pragmatic standpoint
You know, what do you say?
[narrator] At Delta Camp,
having fashioned a hook and tackle
from scavenged aluminum and plastic,
Jordan looks to become the first player
to pull a fish from the Neka River.
Biggest concern is that
we haven't eaten very much.
We put a lot of effort
into our shelter and our fire,
but we haven't produced
nearly enough food.
I'm gonna be fishing within an hour.
Relying on you, Jordan.
You are our fish man.
Man, fingers crossed
that you catch us a fish.
[Dawn] That would be absolutely amazing.
[narrator] While Jordan embarks
on his fishing expedition,
Alpha is being more resourceful
in their quest for protein.
[Justin] I think what we have
is enough for now.
[Jill] Okay, let's start back to our camp.
- [Amber] Let's go.
- [Justin] Sounds good to me.
[distant roaring]
[Justin] Holy shit!
- Bear!
- [narrator] With winter fast approaching
- Look!
- [Jill] Oh my God.
[narrator] and temperatures
already beginning to drop
[Justin] There's a bear
crossing the river right now.
[roaring]
[narrator] the players aren't
the only scavengers in the area
looking to fatten up.
- [Justin] Hundred yards out.
- [Jill] I see it! Oh my God!
[Justin] Shh! We don't want
to draw any attraction.
[narrator] An adult grizzly bear
can weigh nearly 800 pounds.
- [Amber] Gosh!
- Just be quiet. Oh!
- [growling]
- [Lee] Are you serious?
[gasps]
[narrator] They spend the fall
aggressively hunting and scavenging
[Justin] Mothereffer.
Oh, he looked right at us.
[laughs nervously]
[bear growls]
[narrator] consuming
up to 20,000 calories a day,
preparing for their winter hibernation.
He's goin' up
into the tree line, you guys.
[Justin] I was chopping wood there
this morning, 100 yards from our camp,
and he walked right up in that spot.
[Amber] We might have a visitor for lunch.
He's gone.
[narrator] But the threat
of a nearby predator soon gives way
- [loud shot]
- Uh-oh! Look! There's a flare.
[narrator] to more excitement.
- [Lee] Shit.
- [Justin] Someone tapped out.
[Paul] That sounded like a flare.
[Angie] Dude. Woo!
- [loud shot]
- [Paul] Oh, shit!
- [Justin] There, look, another flare.
- Two?
[Joel] That's two.
- [cheering]
- [Joel] One step closer, baby.
[laughs]
Yeah!
There goes another one.
[propulsive music playing]
[Justin] I'm here to play the game.
I'm here to win.
[tense music playing]
[narrator] Two flares light up the sky
above Bravo Camp.
That's two people.
- Right.
- Two people.
[narrator] It's only day three of the game
and already the harsh Alaskan wilderness
has broken two more players.
- That was Bravo Team?
- [Jill] Yeah.
[narrator] It's a cause for celebration
among the other teams
hoping to outlast them
for a million-dollar prize.
Pop-pop-pop.
- [Nick] Flare gun, baby.
- [Angie] How many?
- [Seth] It looked like two to me.
- Two?
- [Nick] It looked like it.
- [Seth] But look, man.
One more for us.
That's right.
[narrator] While most players do not know
from whom or from which camp
the flares were shot,
one team in particular does.
[Brian] You guys dropped your flares.
- Yeah, I'm ready to get out of here.
- [Brian] Dudes.
[Tim] I'm just I'm done.
Yeah. I'm soaked to the bone.
Alaska really chewed me up
and is now spitting me out.
When did you decide this?
[Tim] Last night.
Nights are cold, man.
They're [bleep] brutal, dude.
But also, Javier is micromanaging.
It hit me in the wrong way.
That broke the camel's back right there.
You have any ego, come here.
- Get checked out quick. [laughs]
- It's next level.
I've got a whole new respect
for this place.
[Brian] I don't know what to say, man.
This morning, we woke up to a surprise.
But my gut's telling me
it's no great loss.
Tim is the least experienced of us all,
and Corey is always complaining.
If I let you down in some way,
man, I'm sorry.
[narrator] Falling victim to the extreme
Alaskan climate and circumstances,
Tim and Corey opt to exit the game,
leaving Bravo Team now as the only team
on the game board with two players.
So, it's down to me and Javier.
Ruh-roh.
[Javier] Now, it's just Rambo and me.
So, I'm nervous about that.
This is a team event.
If Brian goes down, I've got to find
another team to join, if they have me.
Or that's it.
My run here is gone.
[narrator] After three days,
there are only 13 players
left in the game.
[rain showering]
[Jordan] Ooh.
Stomach just grumbled.
There it is. There's that hunger.
If we're the first team
to go find some salmon,
it's gonna be just a huge step
in bringing this thing home for us.
[evocative music playing]
[Jordan] That doesn't go
nearly as far as I need it to.
I've been fishing most my life,
but since we've gotten here,
I haven't caught anything.
I haven't even had a fish look at my lure.
I only need it to work one time.
I'm just not thinking this is the spot.
I need to get my lure
out in the middle of the river.
[rain continues]
[Jordan]
Probably just gonna work upriver here
and do some recon
and just get a lay of the land.
We need to find something
that's gonna produce more food
than what we've been getting.
I'm thinking I wanna work up
that way a little bit.
[narrator]
Jordan continues to scout upstream
[Jordan] That looks like
some good smoke they're producing.
[narrator] and becomes the first member
of Delta to locate Charlie Camp.
As much as we want everyone
to starve and freeze out,
I think that we also want
to play a mental game.
All right, what's a realistic lie?
So, I wanted to try
to get in their head a little bit.
What would be in here?
What would they believe?
[tense music playing]
[Seth] How are your boots feeling?
Any better?
[Nick] Yeah, a lot better.
Socks are starting to dry out.
- [footsteps approaching]
- [Angie] Did you guys hear that?
- [Nick] Uh-oh.
- [Jordan] Knock-knock, fellas.
- [Nick] Hey.
- [Angie] Hey, man.
[Jordan] I was working up the river a bit.
I just noticed smoke was coming up.
How you guys doing in here?
[Nick] Good, man.
How's your food situation?
Oh, we're killing it.
- [Nick] Killing it?
- Yeah.
We had a bird yesterday.
We had a fish today.
- [Nick] Wow, good for you.
- [Jordan] Yeah, we're doing pretty good.
We've had enough food coming in
that we've been able to just keep going.
- Have you been eating?
- I got a bit. Not much.
The fishing situation
on this side kinda sucks.
They're out there. I caught 'em.
[tense stinger]
Jordan sparked
my immediate competitive side.
I see you guys got a flare gun out.
Who's gonna pop it next?
[Nick] You?
I just I don't like him.
And I don't like being psychologically
manipulated by anybody.
[Jordan] You guys are down
to three teammates.
Let me just throw this out there.
We got one person on our team
that's probably having a hard time.
Last night probably
got to them a little bit.
[Jordan] Obviously, that's not true.
But all I wanted to do
was plant that little seed of doubt
and maybe pit 'em against each other.
So, we're gonna have room
for one here in a little bit.
One of you is gonna
have a decision to make.
[Nick] You think somebody's
gonna be that bad there?
Yeah, and I think one of you
is gonna have a decision to make.
I'm just throwing it out there.
I don't mean anything by it.
It's not my place
to tell you guys what to do.
- Someone's gotta win this thing, right?
- [Seth] Absolutely.
- [Nick] Losers and winners in every game.
- [Jordan] Exactly. So, you know what?
Looks like you're doin' good.
I'll get out of your hair.
[Jordan]
I did a great job going over there.
I felt like I was convincing.
- [Nick] See you, man.
- [Seth] Take it easy.
[Jordan] I feel like they bought it.
So, I think it's just a matter of time
until one of them really considers
trying to come over here
and see if they can wiggle in.
All that's gonna do
is help that team fall apart more.
I don't believe anything
that dude said. Not at all.
- No.
- [Nick] I have a really good gut.
I've known a lot of liars.
I know how they act, man.
His body language, his eye contact.
Like immediately, my gut reaction
was like, this is an insincere person.
[Angie] I can't stand him.
It's like I'm talking
to a car salesman out here.
He came over bragging
about catching a [bleep] fish.
That's a psychological game.
I know what you're trying to do.
I was like, "Oh, no. Not with me, honey."
It's so obvious.
So, shut up,
go back to where you belong, and starve.
[laughs]
But thank you for coming
and burning your calories.
Try to mad-dog me in my house?!
[narrator] Just 1,500 meters upstream
[Amber] We have fire ♪
[narrator] Team Alpha prepares
to cook the cup full of limpets
they were able to forage from the beach.
[Amber] And Jill is going to cook us
some amazing limpet soup.
Freshly plucked sea limpets.
[narrator]
A limpet is a small aquatic snail
that can be found
clinging to the rocks at low tide.
And while they don't
offer much, calorically,
these tiny mollusks are the first
significant source of protein
the team's had
since arriving on the island.
[Amber] Ooh, boy!
- We goin' to be feastin' tonight, boys.
- [Jill] That's right.
[Amber] We got food! We got protein. Yeah.
Everybody get in here.
We need, like, a camp name.
Come here.
We are. We're Team Alpha.
- There's a feather.
- [Jill] We're missing one.
[Amber] Where you at, Lee?
[Lee coughing]
- Yeah.
- Oh God!
[Amber] Lee, would you like to say
something to the people at home?
- [Lee coughs]
- [Jill] That cough is worrisome.
Is what I wanna say to the people at home.
[coughing]
[Amber]
Okay, we're gonna get you some soup.
[narrator] Night falls,
along with the temperature
[Lee coughing]
and Lee's health
takes a turn for the worse.
[Lee groaning and coughing]
- [Lee] Ow. [bleep]
- [Justin] You all right?
[coughing]
My body's just breaking down.
The cold just seized up my whole back.
[groans]
My arms are going numb. Oh, man. [bleep]
[coughing]
I think I'm getting bronchitis.
I can't breathe at night.
Hurts every time I cough,
like somebody's sticking a fork
in your lungs.
[coughing]
[intense music playing]
[sniffles]
[sobbing]
This morning, when we got up, um,
we found Lee in tears.
I just got nothing left.
He was ready to tap out.
[grunts]
Between the constant rain
and 30-degree temperatures,
I haven't been sleeping.
Every night it's a struggle
just to get to the daylight.
I know I'm at the end of my rope.
I'm tapping out.
I'm a United States Marine.
I was in a Special Operations group.
I thought I could do this,
but it's just sapped everything I had.
I thought I had a lot more. I did.
That just kicked my ass.
I blame the other team
for my guy quitting this morning.
When we saw those flares go off,
it was kind of that
epiphany moment, like [gasps]
"It's that easy."
"And all this is over."
[intense music playing]
[Jill] "No more sleepless nights,
no more hunger pain."
"That could be me."
And it is now. He's gone.
Goodbye.
[Amber] Bye, Lee.
[Jill] But we're not gonna dwell
on the negativity,
because we are gonna
win this thing, three strong.
We're gonna keep fighting
this [bleep] rain.
That's the only choice we have.
We're gonna keep going.
[narrator]
Lee's the fourth player to tap out
and the first loss for Team Alpha.
His departure leaves just 12 players
remaining in the game
with a million dollars still at stake.
Alpha losing its first player
also marks a promising milestone
for current front-runner, Team Delta.
[Joel] Oh, man. That's Alpha.
Oh [bleep] yeah. That's Alpha unit.
That means one is out of everybody but us.
- [Jordan] Godspeed, whoever that is.
- [Joel] Safe travels.
[Dawn] I don't wanna cheer, but I do.
I almost wish
I could see another flare go up.
We're the only four left.
It's pretty clear that as soon
as people start dropping,
the dominoes fall, you know.
[Jordan] I'm assuming the reason
the other teams are having a hard time
is their shelters aren't as good,
their morale isn't as good.
Now, they don't even have
the numbers we have.
The longer we can stay four,
the better our odds
as people start to flex out
because it's just too much work
for two people.
We're just gonna keep pushing
and working on our thing,
and it's pretty evident everyone else
is starting to self-destruct.
They took the dirty Delta.
- We're doing pretty good. We got all four.
- Dirty Delta? [laughs]
- Four strong.
- [Jordan] Let's go fishing.
[wind howling]
[thunderclap]
[rain pattering]
[wind howling]
[Paul] We may see another flare
here in a little while
if that wind keeps whipping up.
[narrator] The next 48 hours
bring nothing but more relentless rain
and frigid temperatures.
[Justin] The weather is terrible.
It's rainy. It's cold. Everybody's wet.
[narrator] The misery
of the Alaskan monsoons affects everyone.
But the task of survival demands work
every day in all conditions.
[atmospheric music playing]
[narrator] But day seven
finally brings some ease.
- The sunshine is out. Yes!
- [Jill laughs]
When the sun came out,
that was a huge relief.
Oh Jesus,
I didn't know you were a ballerina.
[Angie] It's a complete rainbow!
All right.
You hear that?
Something's going on.
It's down by the beach.
Let's check it out.
[helicopter blades whirring]
[narrator]
For the first time in five days,
the sound of approaching helicopters
signaling the arrival of a resource drop.
Delivered simultaneously to each team
without prior warning,
these drops can contain two things
[Javier] There it is.
a message from the Game Masters
containing new rules and directives
"Follow the river east.
Dungeness crab live in the deeper seas."
and valuable supplies and tools that can
shape the future of the game for players
that know how to use them.
[Javier] Cat food?
No, it's gonna be some kind of meat.
[narrator] Today's drop contains both.
In addition to all the materials
necessary to build a raft
Hammer time.
It's perfect.
[narrator] and navigate the waters
around the island
[Nick] I hoped we would get binocs.
"Utilize the tides to help you
get to the island and to get you home."
There's coordinates. You have the map?
a message from the Game Masters
presents an opportunity to the teams.
Beachcombing the island
will yield you pots.
Woo!
That's big, guys.
[narrator] Due east, across 1,200 meters
of frigid water, there's another island,
beyond which are fertile fishing grounds
for Dungeness crab.
Hidden across the island
are five crab traps known as pots.
Time to build a boat.
[narrator] Any team able
to seize one or more of the traps
will have earned the means
to harvest a valuable source of protein.
But reaching the other island
will require not just fashioning a raft,
but timing the journey
with a powerful outgoing tide.
Which means the first window
of opportunity is just three hours away.
If the other groups get the same stuff,
they're gonna be after the same traps,
so this is something we can't wait on.
[narrator] At Team Charlie
It's sized well.
Seth takes the lead in designing
and building the team's raft.
I like to think of myself as an engineer.
Yeah, so the boat is gonna be
pretty simplistic.
We don't have a lot
of time to construct it
if we want to beat the tide.
These were all cut for the shelter,
but since new challenges arise,
we're gonna dual-purpose everything.
These pieces are gonna make a raft.
The idea of it is kinda like one
of those fishing pontoon chairs.
Two on the other side,
two logs for the seat to sit on.
So hopefully, my whole body's
not submerged in water.
It's gotta be light.
Light as possible,
but it's gotta be buoyant.
[Seth] If you sink your boat,
hypothermia's gonna be
a big risk factor out here for sure.
But as a team that hasn't gotten
a lot of food out here,
I think that risk
is definitely worth the reward.
Especially with something
as high in protein as crab is.
We want crabs, right?
Crabs, baby.
[narrator] At Bravo Camp,
before building their raft,
Javier proposes a change in strategy.
Everything tells me
it doesn't feel right building it here.
I think getting closer is a better idea.
So that's it? You want to walk
everything down to the beach?
- It's gonna take forever.
- We gotta go quite a distance.
It's nearly a mile.
So initially, Brian was like,
let's launch this raft from here,
out in front of our campsite,
and float down a mile to the island
where apparently these crab traps are.
I wanted to change tactics.
[narrator] With Bravo Camp located
furthest from the island they must reach,
Javier's come to the conclusion,
assembling and launching
the raft further downstream
is the best bet
to reach the island safely.
Doing so will mean a shorter journey
across the water,
but may make it harder to catch
the Neka River's swift-moving currents.
[Brian] Maybe Javier's right.
And in the end,
we have to work together to survive.
So I give in.
He makes the last decision, as usual.
[Javier] Come on, Brian.
I try to give as many
perspectives as possible.
I hope Brian doesn't see it
as me barking orders.
It's just me trying to care for him.
[narrator] Across the Neka,
Team Delta looks
to leverage their superior numbers
to quickly construct
a significantly larger craft.
[Joel] We're uniquely positioned
to take our unfair advantage of four
and make that exponentially
more of an advantage.
I've actually built
a few rafts in my youth.
This boat's gonna have
to have some fortitude.
[Paul] I'm gonna have
to cut some little gussets
so these poles
laying long-ways won't shift.
- That's a must.
- [Jordan] Yeah.
I gotta give our group credit.
We are some resourceful ass mofos
out here, right now.
Our catamaran slash drone-inspired
raft design's coming together.
It's gonna have inner tube, inner tube.
You'll have a crossbeam
underneath the main structure
lashed to the inner tube.
It sets us up
a little bit higher off the water.
- We've got good stability.
- [Joel] Yep.
Support from the cross structures.
That's gonna be the thing that
keeps us nice and balanced on the raft.
We gotta think long-term with this thing.
We've got crabbing pots.
We're using that for the duration,
so it's worth the extra effort.
We're really putting out
a lot of energy into this raft,
thinking it's gonna
be worth the investment.
[Joel] Do individual lashings,
because if one fails, one fails.
This isn't just gonna be
a one-time use craft.
We're gonna be able
to go out in farther water,
get more fish,
hopefully get some damn crab.
But another thing too
is we're able to cross the river now
and go pay our friends
across the river a visit.
Maybe get in their heads too.
And then, we also have our devious plan.
Master plan is we're the first one there.
We don't know if the others
will find crab pots.
[tense music playing]
[narrator] Back on the other shore,
Javier and Brian's journey downriver
takes them through Alpha's territory,
where Justin has spent
the last several hours
working on a raft of his own.
- [Brian] Hey.
- [Javier] Hey.
[Justin] Javier, right?
[Javier] Yeah.
- [Justin] What's the game plan now?
- Go visit the island.
[Justin] I'm gonna suggest something.
If I get there first, you wanna split 'em?
[Brian] Say we get there before you,
you want to split 'em.
- We'll make a deal.
- Whoever gets there first.
If I get there first,
I'm willing to share equally.
If you get there first,
you be willing to do that.
[Brian] I give Justin a lot of credit.
Sharing crab pots, it's a good idea.
All right, I say let's do it.
We'll split the pots. All right, deal?
Deal.
- All right, Team Bravo. Team Alpha.
- All right.
- All right, Justin, good luck.
- All right.
Enjoy. Brian, Javier.
- Take care, Justin.
- Be safe.
[Javier] I think Justin's idea
to share crab pots
and work together
and defeat that side,
we will grow stronger on this side.
Brian, please be careful with the rocks.
[narrator] With teams Alpha and Bravo
both having lost members in recent days,
they form an alliance,
hedging their bets in this race
against their rivals on the other side.
The other teams can do what they want.
This changes everything.
[narrator] Now, with the next
outgoing tide fast approaching
Try and get it as tight as you can.
Javier and Brian position themselves
1,200 meters upstream
and begin to assemble the raft.
[Javier] Gotta MacGyver this shit.
What do you think
of a triangle strapped solidly?
With these straps, I have two more.
The tube concept
came from some documentary
about the Alcatraz escape that I've seen.
So, if the guys in Alcatraz
could get off that island
and get to the shore, we could
definitely get to those crab pots.
[narrator] Meanwhile, back upriver,
Justin of Team Alpha
resumes work on his design,
a craft nearly twice the size of Bravo's.
[Justin] I'm trying to construct a boat
that'll be like anything
anyone else has made.
I'd rather take my time
and make something that's efficient.
So, it's like The Tortoise
and the Hare right now.
You know, it's a marathon not a sprint.
This thing he's building
is way beyond an elaborate boat.
Justin's been working on that boat,
and it's taking too long.
It's not practical,
and it's costing us time.
We should've already been downstream.
[narrator] As Justin
continues work on his craft
[intense music playing]
[Angie] It's looking really steady.
[narrator] the other teams put
the finishing touches on theirs
All right, here we go.
Yeah, pull it tight
and then start wrapping it.
[narrator] scrambling to catch
the outgoing tide to the island first.
Our window was closing.
That just meant it was go time.
[narrator] While, per Javier's plan,
Brian of Bravo Team prepares
to launch from far downstream.
[Paul] They don't even
have 'em blew up right.
Oh, this is bad. I hope
they've got Coast Guard close by.
This vessel is going down.
[laughs]
[Jordan] Three, two, one, go!
[narrator] Team Delta moves their craft
into position to catch the current
and quickly decide who will take the helm.
[Jordan] We had a decision to make.
Who's willing to risk it all?
Who's willing to get out in the water
and risk that exposure,
that wetness, and risk going home?
Jordan, you're our guy. I'm so glad.
You're out on this bad boy.
Coming out of the military,
I've had previous training
in exactly a scenario just like this.
Dude, you're gonna kill it.
And my team elected me
to go out there first.
[narrator] Thirty meters downstream
And now this one.
as their rivals Delta
make their final preparations,
Team Charlie considers
a last-minute change in strategy.
- [Angie] Ready?
- [Seth] Yeah.
[Nick] The wind's starting to blow too.
We should hurry it up.
[Seth] Move around a bit.
Can you do that?
Look at this.
I was originally gonna man the raft
before we got to the water
I'm not gonna lie, I'm nervous.
But you guys are heavier than I am.
- [Seth] Yeah.
- It'll go deeper.
[Seth] Probably want
a nice wider stance on it.
- [Angie] I got it.
- [Seth] Look at me. You sure you want to?
[Angie] Yeah. I got it.
But during the process, Angie,
she looked me in the eye.
She's like, "I got this."
[Angie] Ready?
[Seth] Can we talk it over with Nick?
[Nick] Watching that river,
it was a real anxious feeling
because we had this makeshift inner tube
made out of alder, lashed together thing,
that is supposed
to navigate this wild current.
Let me try standing on it real quick.
[Angie] It floats with me on it.
When he stood on it, it's not gonna
[Seth] It's not gonna happen with you.
This is all seriously scary.
So, I was not feeling confident
with Angie's ability.
- You wanna do this?
- Yeah.
- Are you sure?
- I'm 100% confident.
Look at me, hey. If you go out there,
you can't not make it.
[Nick] You gotta make it.
[Angie] I know. I would let you know
if I can't do something.
I have a really strong background
in swimming,
and I am very cold tolerant.
Dude, I weigh less.
It's going to float more.
It'll get me out of the water more.
- I'm very good on the water.
- [Nick] I'm hesitant.
I think Seth's the best shot.
I don't think Angie can make this.
[Angie] Why do you think that?
The lightest person on the raft
may not have the physical strength
to steer the thing.
It steers like a pig.
And we're starving,
and we need to win this.
The best bet is Seth.
You're really about to spark something
in me right now
because what I'm telling you is
- You're
- [Seth] I don't know
No, hold on.
Don't interrupt me. You're over
First of all, never Don't point at me.
[Angie] That is my absolute trigger.
A male raises his voice,
that's it, I'm done.
You know, a loud, yelling male,
it's like a switch just goes off
in my head and I don't allow it to happen.
You keep cutting me off,
and I'm trying to talk to you.
- Okay?
- Go ahead.
So, of course, I snap back but
[exhales]
- Do not talk to me like that.
- [Seth] Guys, hey.
Jump in then. Jump in then.
I weigh less than you guys!
These tires are tiny as hell!
Obviously, you're another person
I have to prove wrong.
That's what I'm here to do,
prove everybody wrong.
Maybe I'm wrong.
- [Angie] I know you're wrong.
- All right.
So, I like to sit back,
assess the situation, and go from there.
- Guys, this is middle school bullshit.
- I'm just saying
- I heard what he said.
- Let's just stop.
I like to hands-off approach
until it needs to be hands-on.
- I'm not getting on any sides.
- No
[Nick] I'm not trying I'm saying,
we need a third. I'll give it up to Seth.
I think that's the leadership style
that works for me.
- I know I can do it.
- [Angie] All right.
I think she's the best bet though,
'cause she's lighter.
[Seth] But I can do it. It's your call.
This is in your house.
I trust whatever you want.
[Angie] I've got it.
[Nick] All right.
Well, then we send Angie.
[Angie] I appreciate Seth being mediator.
You know, I'm not just some female
that's here to do whatever
and bow out when I've had enough.
I'm here for the long run,
and when I say
I can do something, I know I can do it.
[Paul] Godspeed, brother.
[narrator]
Delayed by their internal dispute
[Seth] Where's our paddle at?
[narrator] Team Charlie now scrambles
to get their raft in the water.
[Angie] The water's not taking
like I thought it would.
[Seth] Yeah.
[narrator] And though
Team Alpha remains sidelined
We're the only team that's not out there.
Because he doesn't know
how to do anything efficient.
[narrator] two hundred meters downstream,
short-handed Bravo
has taken the opportunity
to play catch-up
and launch their own craft
from Javier's chosen spot.
- Sure you wanna go with everything?
- [Brian] Put it in. See what happens.
[narrator] All while Delta
has seized the advantage
and a substantial lead
in this race for vital protein.
[Joel] Yeah, buddy.
Go with the tide. Don't fight it.
[Jordan] The current starts taking me
very fast. It's exactly what I want.
It's time to win this mission.
- [Joel] Smooth sailing from here.
- You got it.
[Javier] Use the stick, man.
You got this. You got it, Brian!
[suspenseful music playing]
Get us that food. Come on, now.
[narrator] If any player is able
to find the crab pots first,
there's nothing stopping them
from taking all five.
Boy, I hope she gets it.
[Seth]
There's nothing we can really do now.
[Jordan] I'm paddling to start,
and then I realize
I don't have to. We're leading the charge.
The current's taking me.
I can just enjoy the ride.
[Seth] Hey, Jordan!
What happened to that fourth
member of yours?
[Nick] The fourth member, where'd they go?
[Jordan] Any second.
[Seth] Oh yeah?
- [Nick] What'd he say?
- [Seth] Any second.
[Jordan] Are you guys sending a raft out?
[Nick] Yeah, it's behind you, baby.
[tense music playing]
I don't wanna just get there,
I'm gonna rub it in.
[Nick] What the [bleep]?
Are they doing push-ups?
[Angie] He is mocking me!
[Seth] I don't think
we're gonna catch him.
[Angie] I'm a really good fisherman.
So, I'm just constantly watching
where the water's flowing,
how it's flowing.
[evocative music playing]
[Angie] And then
I just noticed the current.
Feels like something in me was just like,
"Get over to the current right now."
There's someone there in red.
[Seth]
I think she really wants this, dude.
Ten.
[Seth] Here he goes.
Look at the running water right there.
Keep going, Angie, keep going. Pull!
[Jordan] I'm not even worried about them.
[Nick] Get to the middle.
[evocative music rising]
Go!
You're on a good line, Angie!
[Angie] I didn't think
I was gonna make it, and I almost gave up.
Let's go. You're good! Get there!
[Seth] Angie, you're almost there!
[intense music playing]
[Angie] And then it starts moving.
[Nick] She's in the current, man.
Perfect! You're perfect!
[Brian] I'm fighting this current,
I look, and here comes a girl in a raft.
And now the rush is on.
[Jill] Holy cow!
Props to them.
Seth, look how close she is.
Keep pushing, baby, keep going.
[Seth] Hey,
I think you're on a good line, Angie!
My confidence level, sky-high.
Not even worried about them.
I'm heading straight at that island.
I'll get all of those [bleep] crab pots.
[Seth] She's got this.
[Nick] What's up?
You're in the wrong spot, boy.
[Jordan] And then, I kinda peek over.
Oh shit. No, man.
