[wind blowing]
[moody music playing]
Damn it.
[sighs]
[Joseph] Where the hell is Ponyboy? Is he all right?
[Brendon] [bleep] is going on?
[Joseph] He go get firewood or something like that?
[Eric] Joey's at Bravo.
-[Joseph] What? -[Eric] You heard me.
-[Joseph sighs] -That's not a team player.
-[Joseph] For real. -[Eric] Yep.
[Joseph] I don't trust that, bro.
-[Eric] Yep. -I don't trust that.
Like, we welcomed you in our home.
We broke bread with you, man.
-You had no reason just to up and leave. -[Eric] I know.
I knew something was not right.
I've had that sensation from day three. That's why I've been an asshole to him.
[moody music continues]
[Joseph] There's a lot of money involved, he moving weird…
That'd get barrels pointed at your face in a lot of situations.
And I could be wrong.
Now, I'mma admit, I'mma eat the humble gumbo… I'm passing judgment.
We're not gonna do any conclusions until we talk
-about why he took that boat first. -[Joseph] Yeah.
-I'll let you know what happens. -[Tina] All right.
-He doesn't trust the man. -[Tina] Mm-mm.
[Eric] Goddamn it.
I don't know, bro. My mind all over the place.
-The game is gonna get worse. -It's gonna get worse.
[Joey] Not even a bite.
I went to the point.
-Oh, yeah. -Dude.
And then, uh…
I started just coasting, and then I took a chance at the rocks.
We're gonna pull the plug on this boat…
Yeah, it's starting to get--
No, I'll pull the plug, and we'll hold the plug.
Okay.
[tense music playing]
Yeah. What you did this morning,
all of a sudden the boat's gone, and no noise, no nothing.
We didn't hear it. We didn't get a…
-I was seriously-- -…"Kiss my ass" or nothing.
-"I just left"? [chuckles] -I was seriously…
I was seriously hook-and-lining it, and then started fishing those rocks.
And I tried to do that, and then at that point my butt was just sore, dude.
[tense music continues]
Uh…
Joey, I really don't trust your words right now.
I seen you over there. Bravo was over there too, weren't they?
-Okay. -What the hell was that?
I've been wanting to go. I've been told I can't.
All we did is talk about Bravo all last night and how they are.
Everyone just talks me out of it every time. Brendon--
-We'd have talked you out of it again. -I know.
We don't wanna know. We don't care.
-Every single one of us is a teammate. -Yeah.
We tell everybody where we're gonna go, and you didn't.
-I've been wanting to go-- -And there's the deflection.
-You made that decision. -[tense, dramatic music playing]
-Understood. -Money makes people do weird shit.
Now we question your motives.
I get it. I understand the appearance, how it looks.
A lot of questions we'll have for you before the day's done.
-Okay. -You can just take a walk.
I mean, I kind of pitched myself, but also, they don't need to know that.
At this point, I'm like, "Okay, this might be it."
Bravo really isn't interested in me,
and now I'm probably done with Delta.
Half tempted to go ask 'em exactly what you did talk about.
-Yeah, go. -And I'm sure we'll get the answer.
-It'd be great to get a straight answer. -I mean, I get it.
No, I get it.
-Yeah. All right. -For sure.
I'll be back. I'll let them know.
I'll just go get the flare and frigging fire it off,
if this is what it's gonna come down to.
I guess now I'm, like, really in the hot seat.
[adventurous music playing]
[music fades]
[ethereal music playing]
What'd he say about taking the boat?
He said his feet have been itching this whole time to do what he did.
But the not knowing and the boat's gone, that's a big damn resource that…
-[Eric] That was stressful. -He just walked.
We're a team.
Each one of us would have told each other where we're going, what we're doing.
That was weird,
-taking it without anybody knowing. -Without anybody knowing.
Of course minds start wondering, why'd he take the boat without telling us,
and why's he at Bravo?
Is he jumping ship?
-I ain't got no words, bro. -[Eric] I got no words either.
So, do we keep him here?
[Brendon] What? Who, Joey?
You're to the point you want him axed, right?
-Yeah. -[Brendon] That's where you're at.
[tense music playing]
So, what do we do?
[Brendon] Joseph, what you wanna do?
-[ethereal music playing] -[wind blowing]
After we told Joey "no" and he went back, I thought that we might hear a flare.
Yeah, I kind of did too.
'Cause now if Delta does find out,
he definitely has to leave the game because they're gonna vote him out.
And he already knows he can't come over here.
But honestly, how naive does your team have to be?
[ethereal music stops]
-To not notice that? -Yeah.
It's going to cause some trust issues if they did know that he came over here.
I think when he gets back, they'll smell a rat and definitely vote him off.
When Joey was like, "Please don't say anything to Delta that I came over here…"
I'm a man. I hold myself to a high standard.
I have a lot of integrity.
And to me, like, it just seems like he doesn't, you know?
Yeah.
So, if somebody else from Delta comes over here
and asks us if Joey came over here…
Joey asked me not to tell, and I'm not going to tell.
-But I'm not gonna lie. -Not gonna lie.
-That's where I stand too. -That's not me.
-I got too much integrity. -[moody music playing]
But I would want to know if someone's planning on backstabbing me.
Yep.
You really see people's true side when you're out here starving and…
-Yeah. -…lack of sleep.
On top of that, put a million dollars on the line.
Yep, you'll see their true colors come out.
At least I can proudly say
I didn't let this game or the money change me.
Yep. Change our morals.
[wind blowing]
-[Joseph] What's happening, Captain? -What's up?
Got a conversation for me, or you chilling?
[Joey] Letting the fire cool down, dude.
[Joseph] We have 24 hours until the grand finale.
It could be a race,
a scavenger hunt, it could be a lot of things.
Sounds like, uh, the appearance was, uh, not good.
[moody music fades]
Okay. So, I'm gonna tell you straight up.
You just messed me up just by leaving like that, man.
Yeah.
I've seen people do some weird stuff when it comes to money, bro.
[contemplative music playing]
Dude, I'm so close to my breaking point.
To what? Flaring out or switching sides?
Oh, I'm just…
Like…
We can be real, man.
[exhales deeply]
[Joey] Look, I like Joseph.
And I want to tell them,
like, you know, about the pitch to Bravo.
But I don't know what value there is to even tell them I talked to them.
Like, I've been here long enough that I just wanna get to the finish line.
And I still don't feel that I've betrayed them,
and I feel like that information is still mine to hold.
I actually went to Bravo.
And I just wanted to go over there.
It was a recon mission. So that's what happened.
-[Joseph] What the camp was like? -What?
What was their camp like?
[Joey] Um, they were just walking around the rocks, just collecting crabs.
They looked like walking zombies.
They were super tired.
They, um…
I was like, "So… so what's the status?"
Because you know, we're so close to the end.
And what'd they say?
Um, they said, "Yeah, man, we're going to fight, you know, to win."
[contemplative music continues]
[Joseph] Joey, man,
whatever story he was telling,
I kind of didn't even want to hear it 'cause I know it's not the whole truth.
I don't know if he was trying to jump ship or not, and I just said, "You know what?"
I asked God, like, "Give me a sign. Give me something."
So, I just
listened and I was being still.
Would you think going over there boosts your morale?
[heartfelt music playing]
No.
I don't know what it is. I'm just getting tired on all fronts. I mean…
But, dude, you got, man… your wife, your kids.
You know how good of an opportunity you have right now?
[Joseph] I ain't gonna lie. I was disappointed, I was sad.
But me being a man of God and trying not to judge,
I give him the benefit of the doubt.
Even though I don't want to, I believe in forgiveness.
That's just the way of my life, man.
I can tell you right now,
this is a game where you play it however you want.
Yeah.
[Joseph] No rules. You play it however you want.
But don't… Dawg, like…
Don't let your mind get the best of you.
Yeah.
[Joseph] Not one of us are on this team for something selfish.
-Every night you talk about your family. -Mm-hm.
We talk about what we'll do with the winnings.
Everybody says their family, mom, dad, kids.
Ain't nobody said, "I'm gonna buy a Ferrari."
[Joseph] Yeah.
We're here putting ourselves through this stuff for a way greater purpose.
So what you got to do is dig deep, man.
Dig deep, bro.
Like, it's worth it, man.
All this is worth it, bro.
But one thing I won't do is give up.
On you, or all the people back at the camp.
I won't give up on y'all.
At the end of the day, it's hard out here.
Alaska ain't no joke.
You know, everybody deal with stress, pain, and anxiety different.
But it's just like, I don't have the heart to vote nobody off.
They got to really do something serious
to hurt the team or to hurt someone for me to vote anybody off.
So, Joey, you got it.
You good, man.
[softly] I know.
[Joey] Honestly, I was expecting something completely different.
So Joseph comes down.
He really kind of leans in and, uh, says exactly what I needed to hear,
and just asks me to stay.
I don't think he really, fully knew what that meant to me.
We're good, man.
[Brendon] Hey, Joe!
Stay with us. Give your balls a tug. Let's win this, bud.
I've been sitting here listening. You got this shit.
Just dig deep.
You can do it. I got faith in you, bud.
Thanks, man.
And then Mountain Man came down, and he gave me a hug.
[Brendon] What one man can do, another can do. You can do this.
Just stay with us.
I know it's hard.
It's gonna get a little harder, but we got it.
[Joey] There's a bit of shame… of…
Of going over and, you know, pitching myself and getting denied.
And then they just welcomed me back with open arms.
And that mended a lot of broken strings in my core.
[heartfelt music continues]
[Eric] They're having that conversation, I think now, him and Joey.
[Tina] Oh, are they?
[Eric] Trying to figure out why he did it without asking.
Yeah.
[Tina] It's hard to change Eric's mind on something.
But we can't let the team morale continuously be beat down by that.
I just think he's the type of person that just really doesn't think before he acts.
[Eric] I mean, duh. [chuckling]
Yeah.
I had to speak up, figure out how to put it in terms where he'd be open to it.
[Eric] I'm just confused.
Right. You just wanted answers.
But Joey just thinks differently than we all do.
Huh.
You know, he's trying the best way that Joey knows how to try.
And you can't really change a person.
You just have to accept the way they are.
[Eric] He had such unnecessary mind racing today.
Yeah.
[Tina] But, you know, we're coming to an end,
and he has been a 100% asset to our team.
And so, on my part, I'm just thinking,
you know, right now, we just have to accept that Joey is Joey.
[Eric] I know what you're saying, and I… I agree with it.
If you're on board, I'm not going to vote him out of here.
[Tina] Yeah.
I don't want to vote him out of here.
If I had an idea that you guys were going to let it go…
Yeah.
[mysterious music playing]
[Eric] You know, at the end of the day,
my team has taught me some valuable lessons out here.
They could have voted me off that first week if they wanted to.
I was, uh, pretty gruff.
[Eric] You know, you guys gave me the time to work on myself.
You know, and I'm glad that you guys allowed me to do that.
-[Tina] Yeah. -I'm very appreciative of that.
Yeah.
[Eric] You know, they showed me forgiveness and acceptance,
and Joey deserves the same.
So…
[Eric] Thanks for letting me do what you do best.
-Yeah. -[Eric] I can talk it through.
Oh, absolutely.
I'm… You know, it's part of my role here, I think, is just…
-You're our Mother T, Mother Teresa. -…to be a neutral outlet.
-[Tina] Mother Teresa. -[Eric] Mother Tina.
[mysterious music continues]
[Drew] We only got, like, 24 more hours here, dude.
-[Drake] This is it. -What a freaking crazy ride
-this whole thing has been, dude. -It has been nuts.
I'm just some West Texas boy trying to make it, man.
[Drew] I'm thrilled, dude.
I'm freaking pumped, bro.
Chance at a million dollars.
That's some dough, dude.
Honestly, I might buy another house.
You can go home and buy, like, five boats, bro.
Yep. I'm going to buy a couple boats for sure.
[Drake] I could buy another new truck.
And I want to travel.
Buy my wife another freaking car.
Wow, man.
I'll probably cry when I get to talk to my wife.
What's her name?
-Adrienne. -Adrienne.
I'm going to full-on Rocky Balboa her.
[Drew] Yo, Adrienne!
[Drake] Yo, Adrienne!
I did it!
-[mysterious music fades] -[birds quacking]
[bird chirping]
[Joey] I will never look at my life, ever again, the same.
I just have a new appreciation for food, for sure.
Bro, I've been talking about a peanut butter sandwich for two weeks.
-[Joey] Yeah. -[Joseph] Crunchy.
Delicious.
Right now, I would make love to a jar of peanut butter.
[Eric and Brendon chuckle]
[Tina] Whoo!
-Guess what, boys? -[Joseph] What's happening?
Your girl finally took a shit.
[all cheering and laughing]
[upbeat music playing]
Bro, it's going to be a good day, dawg.
-Oh, man. That felt so good. -[Joseph] Wow.
-Praise the Lord. -[Tina] Oh. TMI, but, you know… Whoo!
Ain't no TMI. We was all waiting on that.
[Brendon] We were all getting a little worried.
[Eric] Hey, not to cut you short, but listen.
[helicopter whirring]
Oh, you hear that?
The bird.
[mysterious music playing]
[Brendon] Whoo! Come on, boy.
[Joseph] My leg fell asleep.
[Drew] Oh, here comes a helicopter. Goddamn it.
What are they about to drop, bro?
What are they about to drop?
[Eric] Oh, yeah.
-[Joey] Ohhh! -[Tina] There it is.
-[indistinct chatter] -[Joey] Whoo!
Heart is pounding, dude.
[adventurous music playing]
[Eric] Oh, shit.
[Tina] Where did it go?
[Eric] In the… In the trees.
Right now, our minds are racing.
My mind is racing. What's going to happen?
-[Joseph] Didn't drop it in the trees. -[Eric] Here!
When we see the helicopter, I'm like, "Okay. It's time to rock."
-[Eric] I got it. -[Brendon] Found it?
[Eric] Yep.
[Drew] All right. Moment of truth.
[music becomes tense]
[Eric] This is it.
-What is it? -I don't know.
-This is it. We'll find out what it is. -What it is…
Ohhh.
-Oh, yeah. -[Joseph] We got a map.
"Players, are you ready for this journey to end?"
Hell, yeah.
"The road to your destiny and the million-dollar prize
begins at sunrise."
[mysterious music playing]
"Bring your compass, this map, and your will to go on."
"You've endured this long, but now it's time to outlast your final competitors."
"You must start and finish as a team."
[Joey] Going into this final race, I think Delta has a shot.
I really do.
The team is just… The dynamic is stronger than ever.
You know, knowing that I took a shot at Bravo,
I'm so grateful I haven't burned a bridge with Delta.
And, you know, win, lose, or draw, our whole team's going to the finish line.
-This is freaking it, guys. -[Tina] This is it.
The final countdown.
[dramatic music playing]
[narrator] After a grueling month battling the elements
and pushing their physical and mental limits,
Bravo and Delta are given one final test.
A race to the finish…
Got a hell of a trek, huh?
…to determine who takes home the million-dollar prize.
[Drew] We have to boat to that start point at the back of the cove, and then walk.
[narrator] The two teams will face off on separate 11-kilometer routes,
each with their own unique set of challenges
that will test their endurance and navigational abilities.
And then we're gonna have to go from there to this small part here.
I guess there's a river here.
If that's a muskeg like I've seen, that shit could swallow you.
Gonna be water bogs. You step in one of those holes…
-So we're gonna want to hug the timber. -[Tina] Mm-hm.
The final challenge, it's not going to be easy.
But five heads are better than two.
I wish we had grid lines so I could tell how far we're going.
We don't have the ability to pace to know when to turn.
Joey and I, we're the strongest with navigation.
We know how to use a compass and read a topo map and all that.
I hope they know how to read a compass.
Whoa, what is that?
-[Drake] I think it's a compass. -Hm.
[Drake] I am pretty nervous.
We're not super comfortable using a compass.
Sun rises there.
That's east.
-I'm just trying to think here. -Yeah.
[Drake] I want to win. I want to take the money home.
I don't want to just blow it all because we got so turned around on our path.
[Drew] All right.
Well, let's get ready, man.
Let's, uh, do what we need to do to get ourselves, our bodies prepared.
[bluesy music playing]
[Eric] Bring us back 50 shrimps.
-[Joey] I think we'll have a payday. -[wind howling]
[Brendon] Bring home a big one.
[Joey] Dude, it's going to be a payday. I have a good feeling about it.
Oh boy. That wind is no joke.
He's not a good rower though.
You see his little… He just does tiny strokes.
Well, some people got different strokes when they're playing with their dinghy.
Different strokes for different folks.
[Brendon] Chef…
what are we doing tomorrow?
-What are we doing tomorrow? -Yeah.
Same thing we did today.
-"Try and take over the world." -"Try to take over the world."
-I knew where you were going with it. -[laughter]
[Eric] Ole Chef and the Mountain Man.
We're going to take over the world tomorrow.
[Brendon] Tomorrow, it comes down to a foot race,
I am definitely the weakest link on this team.
My legs are shot. I need a knee replacement.
My ankle's been reconstructed.
So that got in my head a little bit.
But either way, I could not be prouder of my team.
And I still think we'll win this thing.
-We're almost to the end. -[heartfelt music playing]
[Brendon] That whole wave's just bucking him around.
He went through the hard knocks here, though, didn't he?
He ain't used to that. I can tell.
-You know, he's-- -Yeah.
But look at him.
[Eric] Joey, now, I trust his motives. I think everybody trusts him.
And I think he's here to be a team player
and understands our team dynamics, finally.
And…
I'm here, open.
No more defenses.
[Brendon] I'm proud of our team.
We were able to work through the bullshit and stick together.
It takes some unique misfits to make this happen.
We were definitely misfits.
[chuckling]
Been happy to be a part of it and to be on this team.
Thanks for picking me, Chef.
Thank you for being here, man. I couldn't have done it without you.
[Brendon] Once-in-a-lifetime adventure, for sure.
[heartfelt music fades]
[upbeat music playing]
[Drew] Last night in the wickiup.
Last night out in the bush in Alaska.
It's been real.
And it's been fun, but…
It ain't been real fun.
Tomorrow's the biggest day of our life.
Look at us. Two Texas boys take home $500,000.
[Drew] I think the world would wanna see Drake and Drew from Texas win.
[Drake] Yeah. I do too.
[Joseph] We at the finish line. -[Tina] Mm-hm.
[Eric] I know, man.
I don't want to be a prick, but maybe I do.
All you guys that quit early, you just got smoked by a model from California.
[all laughing]
Yeah. We're gonna win this.
-[Brendon] I'm proud of y'all. -[Eric] Thank you.
-[Brendon] For real. Proud of you all. -[Tina] Thank you.
-[contemplative music playing] -[wind blowing]
[Drew] Not too often you wake up…
With a chance to win half a million dollars.
Yeah.
Let's hydrate up for sure, brother.
Yeah, buddy!
[Drew] Today's the morning of the final challenge.
I've got a lot of emotions flowing through my veins right now.
I'm extremely excited, ready to go home.
But I'm nervous about using a compass. I'm nervous about reading this map. Like…
We've decided that I'm gonna do the navigating.
And it's a lot of pressure.
A lot on the line.
Heart is pounding, dude.
I've been praying all morning. "God, give me strength."
Drake, ready to go kick some ass, brother?
I'm ready.
So long, wizard hat.
[Drew] So long, wickiup.
[Drake] Thank you, Sammy, for the design.
But I've moved on.
[Drew] We're out of here.
One final… goodbye.
[contemplative music ends]
[dramatic music playing]
[Eric] We got a long, wet road ahead of us today.
I'm gonna take it slow and low, you guys.
[Tina] Tortoise and the hare.
-[Joseph] Tina got the compass? -[Tina] Yep.
[Joseph] The time has finally come, bro. Like, it's here.
Time to end this, to win this thing.
My job is to make sure nobody falls too far behind.
[Eric] Thank you. Because you know I'll probably slow down here and there.
I don't know, man. Bravo Team, they're pretty young,
so they probably got a lot more legs and, you know, stuff like that than us.
But wisdom, man, we've been whipping this game with wisdom.
-You cool if I pray? -[Eric] Prayers are good.
Lead us, my boy.
Heavenly Father, thank you.
We appreciate you for this journey with these amazing people.
I come to you in prayer for safety for both the Bravo Team
and also the Delta Team.
I pray we'll be victorious, of course.
We earned it with honor, integrity.
In Jesus's mighty name, amen.
-[Joey] Amen. -[Tina] Amen.
Sometimes it ain't about speed, and it ain't about muscle.
It's about making the right moves, right decisions at the right time.
And you'll finish the race.
-[Eric] Let's go. -[Tina] Final journey begins.
-[Joey] Let's rock it. -[Joseph] Go time.
[adventurous music playing]
[narrator] Before the race begins,
each team must row to their respective starting points
at the north end of the bay.
[Brendon] Holy shit, she's floating.
-[Tina and Brendon chuckles] -[Joey] I know.
[Eric] Don't curse us.
[narrator] While both Bravo and Delta will cover
the same 11 kilometers to the northern bank,
the diverse terrain will present each team with a unique set of challenges.
[Drew] Big day, baby, big day.
Whoo!
Here we go!
Bravo Team will face a combination of densely wooded forests,
wetlands, and waterways en route to their finish line.
[Drake] Mentally and physically, we got to get this done, bro.
-[Brendon] This is such a cool experience. -[Tina] It's amazing.
[narrator] To the west, Delta will face less woods and water crossings,
making navigation easier.
However, the true challenge of the route
will be large sections of muskeg, or grassy bog,
which will challenge their dexterity and endurance.
-[Eric] I'm gonna miss all you guys. -[Tina] It's been amazing.
[Brendon] I can't talk about it, because I told my wife I wouldn't cry.
[Eric chuckles]
[Drew, sighing] Ready, one, two, three.
Okay.
[exhaling deeply]
[Drake] Nervous.
[Drew] Me too.
[narrator] With both teams now at their starting points…
[Eric] Bravo! We're coming for you, lads!
[narrator] …the race for the million-dollar prize begins.
[Tina] All right.
-[Brendon] Ready, boys? And lady? -[Joseph] We are.
[Tina] We're ready.
-[Joseph] Remember, got to pace ourselves. -[Tina] Yep.
-[Drew] Let's go. -[Drake] Yep, I'm going.
[Drew] Straight to your left. Well, okay, this is north.
We need to go straight this way.
-Huh? -This way.
[Drake] Cutting in here?
[Drew] Yes. Straight in here.
[Drake] Right or left?
[Drew] We need to be heading…
This is…
That's north.
We need to go that way.
[Drew] Drake's in front of me leading the way.
He's got the longer legs, the better legs under him.
I said, you know, at the beginning of this, "You set the pace. I'll keep up."
And I'm just behind him with the compass navigating.
[adventurous music continues]
The map just tells us we've got a pretty good,
what looks like to be a water source to follow to a river.
And we're moving in the general direction we need to be going.
[narrator] Bravo's suggested route heads north,
making contact with a river that turns into a delta at their finish line.
But between them and their exposed waterway
is a densely wooded forest with no clear path.
[music becomes tense]
[Drew] Hold on.
-Straight that way. -Yep.
Let's go.
-All right. -Let's go.
I'll be honest, I could've learned a little bit more
about navigating and using a compass.
-[Drew] To the right more. -[Drake] Huh?
[Drew] Keep rocking it. Go up, and then we can go to the right, maybe.
You can get off by a couple of degrees, and it could put you in a bad situation.
Hold on. Let me check where we're going.
This is north right here.
I think.
[Drake] I've always kind of navigated
telling, you know, my north, south, east, and west by the sun.
The fact that it's cloud cover here, you don't see the sun.
[birds calling]
[Drake] We don't need to go right more?
[Drew] [bleep] if I know.
You know, the end of this thing really relies on your sense of direction…
[Drew] We got some woods to walk through here. We should come to that river soon.
-[Drake] Keep going straight? -[Drew] Yeah.
[Drake] …and how well you can use this map
and use a compass to make sure you're moving towards your finish line.
[tense music continues]
[Drew] What the…
Yep. Come on.
[narrator] While Bravo makes their way through the initial challenge
of the forest,
Delta continues on their path to the west.
[wind blowing]
[Tina] All right. So we're following this all the way up.
[narrator] The initial part of Delta's journey is straightforward,
taking them west along the creek to their first landmark, a beaver dam.
But the terrain has hidden challenges.
-[Joseph] Uh-oh. -[Eric] There it is.
[Brendon] Swampy.
The terrain we got into right at first, you know, the mud is just like snot.
You step on it, your feet are going everywhere.
[Eric sighs] I almost rolled my ankle.
Watch the hole.
[Joey] Wow.
[Brendon] Could've snared 'em right there.
There's tall grass so you gotta high-step when you're in the grass.
And the grass is slick too.
There hasn't been an easy step from the time we took off of that boat.
[Brendon gasps]
-[Joseph] Got it? -[Brendon] Uh-huh.
And my leg is hurting. It's throbbing. Um…
But I put it in the back of my head.
This is for the team. We gotta dig deep.
[Joseph] Mountain Man, that damn knee ain't as bad as you said.
-[Brendon] I know, right? -[Joseph chuckles]
This is where we got to lay it on the line. We have to beat Bravo.
Everybody in the team is probably feeling the same.
[Joey] Yeah, dude. You're setting the pace, man. Right on.
[Joseph] As long as we're going the right way.
[Brendon] I haven't seen a beaver dam yet.
[Eric] Doing what we need to.
-[Joseph] Following the creek, right? -[Eric] Yep.
[Joey] Oh, wow. Look at that.
[Brendon] There's beaver dam after beaver dam.
[Joey] Oh my gosh.
-[Brendon] Big beaver dam. Whoo-wee! -[adventurous music playing]
-[Joey] Now that… is a dam. -[Joseph] That's a nice one.
[narrator] Despite Delta's slower pace, their consistent progression has paid off,
making them the first team to reach their first waypoint
and confirm they're on track.
-This is unbelievable, guys. -[dramatic music playing]
-Here. -[Eric] This is a dream.
[narrator] This gives them the early lead over Bravo
as they head into the densely wooded forest.
-I think this is where we start turning? -Yeah, sure.
[Eric] Beaver dam… We gotta head north.
North is that way.
Are you good, T?
-I'm good. -[Eric] Let's take a second for her.
[Brendon] Huh?
My body isn't performing the way that I had anticipated it to.
And the last thing that I want to do is hold back my team.
Want to switch that compass? Want me to take it?
I'm fine.
I have a slower pace than you guys. That's all.
Here. That's the dam.
-We're gonna keep going that way. -This way?
We gotta head just a little bit northwest, so…
[Joey] Go this way.
[Brendon] We're heading north right here.
[narrator] With only a small lead, Delta heads due north.
[dramatic music playing]
Meanwhile, to the east, Bravo is still in search of their first landmark.
[Drew] We got that dog in it.
[Drake] I got that dog in me!
We don't know about Delta, but we're moving fast.
Both of us are telling each other there's no way they're moving as fast as we are.
-[Drake] We got a million dollars to win! -[Drew] That's it.
I hope we didn't cross that river already.
But at the same time, it seems like we haven't gone that far.
If that wasn't our river back… Of course, the map.
Son of a bitch.
[Drake] We both knew that as soon as we could find the river,
we'd be on course and we could follow the river to the finish line.
So we're just gonna cut through whatever terrain we have to and find the river.
[Drew] We're starting downhill, should run into that river soon.
[Drake] Yeah.
-Let's get up here and see. -[Drew] Huh?
-[Drake] Get up and see. -Looks like the best place to cross.
[Drake] It opens up here.
[mysterious music playing]
Dude, there's no way. Don't walk over here, Drew.
[Drew] I don't understand what just happened.
We get to where the river's supposed to be,
and we're at the beaver dam.
And I'm thinking to myself, I thought we passed the beaver dam.
I thought something I saw back there was the beaver dam.
[bleep] me. Goddamn it.
That means one thing. We got turned around somewhere and took a wrong turn.
[music becomes tense]
Damn, that map was misleading. [bleep]!
When there's this much on the line,
the feeling of getting lost and going the wrong way is gut-wrenching.
Bro, this shit's thick up here.
-[Drake] Rather walk on the wet grass? -I don't know.
-We gotta get out of these woods. -[tense music stops]
[narrator] Bravo Team's inability to maintain their bearings
in the thick Alaskan rainforest
has put them severely off course.
Meanwhile, Delta continues to build on their lead.
-[Eric] Swampy. -[contemplative music playing]
Duck foot it.
[Brendon] How's T doing?
-T, you good? -[Tina] I'm coming.
-You good? -[Tina] I'm good.
[Joseph] I'm in the back. I ain't gonna let nobody fall off.
[Eric] Where the hell are we going?
[Joseph] This looks like the timber forest.
-We veered off quite a bit, I think. -No [bleep] way.
-[Eric] What's going on here? -[Joseph] What's going on?
We're just in a fork in the road. We got a right or a left here.
Let's check that map and check the compass.
-North. We're gonna start heading north. -[Eric] All right.
North is literally pointed at that pole.
[Joey] That's what I'm saying. Hit the shore, go north.
[Brendon] You can't go due north. You'll hit a pond first.
-[Eric] Look at the map? -Seen it.
-[Eric] If we go from here to here… -[Brendon] Know what it looks like.
-Bravo's getting closer. -I know. What way do you want to go?
I'm ready to go. I want to get there. I want to beat Bravo.
The money was never a huge factor to me.
But, you know, that money is on my mind.
-Let me look at this map. -[Joseph] Let's go north. Let's go.
Where you going?
-[Joey] Hey, Mountain Man. -[Eric] Easy, Mountain Man.
[Brendon] Man up.
[Joseph] Got north on our compass?
[Eric] Huh?
We going north?
[Eric] No, he's just taking control and we're going.
Huh?
-[Joey] Hey, Mountain Man. -[Brendon] Hey.
We're going this way.
[Tina] North is this way. -[tense music playing]
[Brendon] I know which way north is.
[Eric] I don't know where the hell he's going.
[Brendon] It's clear as [bleep] up here. You ain't got to fight the timber.
[Eric] Hold on.
[Joey] Hold on.
-[Tina] We have to stay together. -[Eric] Slow down!
[narrator] Rather than sticking to their pre-planned route,
Brendon has opted for a more direct path, though it comes at a cost,
adding a timberland section and more elevation changes.
Meanwhile, Bravo continues to struggle navigating out of the woods.
-[Drew] Hold on. -[Drake] Yeah?
[Drew] We're here. I think.
[Drake] It's a big kick in the dick.
Everything looks the same.
It was so easy, and we thought we were going in the right direction,
but we're pretty far off course.
I say we head straight northwest, bro.
Straight ahead… Dead ahead of you.
-Huh? -Dead ahead of you.
You know, I think we might have gone too far to the east immediately.
That was [bleep] stupid.
And once I realized where we were, we had to cut back north.
That's dead north right there.
Let's do it!
[narrator] With Bravo struggling to regain their path,
Delta forges even further ahead with Brendon setting a rigorous pace.
-[wind howling] -[tense music playing]
-[Eric] Easy through here. -[Joey] There are some holes.
[Eric] Watch your step right here.
[Brendon] Oi.
Took off in the lead. There's a huge dog leg in our journey.
I wanna straighten that sucker out over the mountain.
[Joseph] Come on, T. Almost to the top.
[Tina] I don't even know where I'm going. I can't…
[narrator] Tina falls further behind.
[Joseph] Hey, you got to let T catch up. She got the compass.
[Brendon] Don't need a compass to tell me where north is.
I'm not thinking clear enough when I take off.
I'm not even looking back.
I'm thinking everybody's behind me. You ought to keep up.
I figured I was going to be the weakest link.
[Tina] I'm sorry I'm dragging ass.
[Joseph] No, you're not. Just keep moving. All right?
Mountain Man!
So at this point with Tina,
I'm seeing her going down and getting slower and slower.
-Huh? -[Tina] I'm losing everybody.
[Joseph] You're losing what?
Hey, y'all, hold on.
[Tina] I can't walk as fast as they can. [breathing deeply]
-[Joseph] Mountain Man! -[Erica] Tina.
-[Tina] I'm coming. -[Joseph] I'm here with her.
[Eric] Brendon was just gung ho, but Tina,
um, I noticed she was dragging boots.
[Brendon] The top's here. We'll drop down, and we're going to be in that muskeg.
-[Joey] Huh? -[Eric] Hey, where'd you go?
[Brendon] Over here.
[Eric] Goddamn it.
[narrator] As stated, Delta knows they must cross the finish line
as an entire team.
[Eric] Where you going?
Bro, where you going?
What are we doing?
-[Brendon] We're heading north. -[Eric] Listen.
-Wait up for them. -Huh?
Just wait up for them.
-[Joseph] Push through, T. -[Tina] I'm pushing.
But I don't want to push to where I'm going to fall over either.
Hey, Tina and I got to slow down the pace.
We got to beat Bravo.
-I'm watching her, bro. She ain't good. -[quiet, dramatic music playing]
-[Brendon] I know. -We'll have to slow it down.
[Tina] I'm digging in. Trust me. I'm just slow.
We can probably start marching slower now that we're going downhill.
Thank you.
At that point, I realized Bro T, Tina, she's out of energy already.
That might have been a lot to do with me, because I started out too fast of a pace.
This is when I should go ahead and apologize to you guys right now.
Need a minute yet? Take a minute.
It dawns on me, "Hey, I'm thinking pretty selfishly."
You know, there's other people on the team.
I'm getting worked up.
But I'm good.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
This girl has no quit in her. I know she's going to make it.
But I also know I'm gonna burn her out at the pace I'm going.
-All right. I'm ready. -[Eric] We're almost there.
-Let's do it. -Head down?
It's going to be easier on her if we go down.
[Joey] All right, let's do it.
[Eric] I'm going to go on point for a minute.
[Brendon] Tina, you can pace.
[Tina] You're not gonna like walking behind me.
[Brendon] It's fine. I probably need to.
[Drake] Yep, I see a place.
[Drew] What?
[Drake] I see a spot in the open area.
[Drew] Go up, then go to the right, maybe.
[dramatic action music playing]
[Drake] It opens up up here.
[Drew] Here we go. Here's our opening.
Here's our opening.
All right, we're here.
Look, we're here.
[narrator] Finally out of the woods,
Bravo Team is able to identify their location on the map.
We need to keep going.
-Straight across this thing? -Straight across this thing.
We should hit that river up there, but
if we can stay out of the woods, we'll be all right.
-Let's go. -Yep.
-[Eric] Almost home. -[Joey] Almost there. Halfway.
-[Joseph] We're almost there. -[Joey] Halfway.
[Joseph] Pay attention to the compass.
[Brendon] Got a hole here. We're in the muskeg.
[Joey] This is definitely a muskeg.
[Eric] Shit's no [bleep] joke.
It was hard enough walking on the hike,
and then we hit the muskeg.
Ho-ly shit. [clicks teeth]
Easy through here.
There was water and pools of water and sinkholes.
Slow and low.
-T, you good? -Yeah.
-[Joey] You good? Okay. -Yeah.
Every step, you'd feel the ground, like, shift like this.
So every step, you're sinking down.
[adventurous music playing]
[Eric] ♪ My legs are burning ♪
It's brutal.
It's hard to walk through if you're short, if you're tall.
Stand still, you might come up with no boot.
[Brendon] Damn it.
[Tina] Oh, I'm stuck.
Watch these swamp holes.
You can't find a solid footing.
There's holes that you don't even see.
It looks like wet grass.
And then you make a wrong step and you go in.
Oh [bleep], I'm sinking!
[tense music playing]
-[Eric] All right. -[Tina] I tried.
-[Eric] I know. It's a little-- -[Tina] My hand's gonna be frozen.
[Eric] Hold on. I'm gonna get her some gloves.
With every single step that I took,
I felt like my feet were turning to stone.
[Joseph] Come on, T. You're almost to the top.
You made it this far. Can't chicken out now. You gotta be tough.
I just hit a brick wall.
-[groans] -[tense music ends]
[suspenseful music playing]
-[Drake] I hear a river. -[Drew] Yeah. Let's go.
[Drake] Yep.
This is it, bubba.
Follow the river out.
We find the river, and I'm like, "Okay, it's time to rock."
The hardest part of the navigating is over now.
All right.
We got to cross over here.
But my boots have completely lost every bit of waterproofness that they have,
and they just hold a ton of water now if they get wet.
-[screams] -Good shit!
I'm worried that I'll be carrying these cinder blocks on my feet
when my legs are already extremely depleted.
-Damn, that's wide for me. I don't know. -Rock, rock.
Jump.
Pole vault.
There you go.
[Drew] [bleep] boots are full of water.
[suspenseful music ends]
[Drake] Jump.
[dramatic music playing]
[Drew] Falling behind you just a little bit.
[Drake] Pick it up, Drew. Come on!
Hey, nothing left in the tank!
[Drew] I feel myself slowing down a bit.
There's no choice out here. There's no slowing down.
There's just grab another gear and go as deep as you can go.
-[Drake] Nothing left in the tank, baby. -[Drew] That's it.
[Drake] This is our time.
This is our destiny.
I'll piggyback you across.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Get on. Jump. Let's go.
Let's go!
-[Drew] Whoo! -[Drake] Nothing left in the tank, baby!
-[Drew shouting indistinctly] -[Drake] Nothing left in the tank!
[Drew] Let's go.
[Drake] Carrying my dawg across the river, baby.
-[contemplative music playing] -[wind blowing]
[Tina] Oh [bleep].
-[panting] -[dramatic music playing]
[Eric] Tina.
[Tina] Right now, I'm in a really dark place.
Um, hang on.
It is a possibility that I might not be able to finish.
[Joseph] Come on, T. Almost to the top.
[Brendon] Grab this rope, T. We'll pull you a little bit.
This far in the game, I don't have enough strength to pick her up and carry her,
but I've got enough to drag her up a hill if she can hold on.
[Tina] Okay.
Go ahead and lean on it if you need.
Whatever it's gonna take to get across that finish line as a team.
That was the most important thing.
-[Eric] Come on, T. -[dramatic music stops]
You got it.
That helping?
[Tina] Yeah.
[Brendon] Too fast?
[Tina] No.
My team is amazing.
If Brendon wasn't there to literally pull me,
-I don't know where I would have ended up. -[contemplative music playing]
-[Joseph] Dig deep, T. -[Tina sighs]
[Joseph] Think about Mama. She needs you.
I know.
[Eric] Love you, T.
They keep reminding me how strong I've been, you know, to do it for my mom,
because that's the main reason that… that I'm here.
I just knew that I had to keep pushing.
[Joey] I think we're just leaving the muskeg
and we're about to get into the timberline.
-[Joseph] Almost there. -[Brendon] Yeah.
[Joey] Well, here we are. Yes, we're exiting the muskeg.
[Eric] We're almost home!
-[dramatic action music playing] -[Drake] Moving with a purpose!
[Drew] Drive her home!
This is good. I know we're moving fast. I feel like we're moving fast.
Come on, bubba. Come on!
I ain't carried you across two [bleep] rivers for you to slow down.
[Drew] Dig deep.
[Drake] I swear, if you're hooting and hollering when we're done with this,
I'll slap the shit out of you 'cause it means you had some left in the tank.
-[Drew chuckles] Shit. It's opening up. -[Drake] Yeah.
See that?
[Drew] What? I think I see it.
-[Drake] 50 yards. What're your legs like? -[Drew] Jog. Let's go.
-What are your legs like? -Let's go!
[Drake] What are you made of?
Let's go, baby.
Got that dog in me, boy!
Got that dog in us!
Let's go, Drake!
-Whoo! -[indistinct shouting]
[narrator] Having reached the river's opening,
Bravo becomes the first team to close in on the finish line.
Let's go!
[Drake] What are you made of?
[narrator] Or what they think is the finish line.
What the hell is this?
[Drew] What is this?
[Drake] What is this?
Look in the box. Is there a note?
[tense, dramatic music playing]
Open it.
[Drake] "Players, this is your final challenge."
"Next to you stands an unlit signal fire."
"Use this bow drill kit to light the signal fire that lights the flare."
"The first team to light the flare wins Outlast."
Oh God.
[narrator] The final part of the challenge will test the players' primitive skills.
They must use a bow drill, a prehistoric survival tool
consisting of a bow, a spindle, and a baseboard to start a friction fire.
Once the fire is big enough to light the bundle of boughs ten feet above it,
flare smoke will be released, signaling the end of the game
and the winners of the one-million-dollar prize.
-Let's get it going. -Let's get it going.
Don't let that board get wet. Push everything as far as you can under there.
-A million dollars on the line. -Let's do this shit.
Looking at the bow drill setup, it is familiar.
I've seen it done before, but neither one of us have ever used one.
-[sniffs] -So, we're going to wing it.
Spindle, bow. Foot on the board.
[Drew] [bleep]!
-Put that pitch on top of there. -No. Spin this around.
[Drew] No, let me see. Sharp end goes up top.
[Drew] Drake and I are not bushcraft survivalists.
You know, I grew up in the woods, but I didn't spend a lot of time practicing
rubbing two sticks together to make a fire. [chuckling]
So, I'm just trying not to panic right now…
Here. Hold that.
Yep. Let's go. You don't have to push hard at first.
…even though I know it might take a while, and
Delta could catch up with us any second.
[Drake] You worry about pushing. I'll worry about drilling.
Straight above it. You gotta stay straight above it, Drew.
-Okay. -Lean forward just like that.
You go.
[tense dramatic music continues]
-Keep going. -Lean it just a [bleep] hair to your left.
-All right. Ready to give it hell? -Yep.
Hold on. A little bit more.
All right, hold on. Goddamn it. [bleep]! Hold on.
[bleep]!
-Come on. -When I say hold on, you gotta hold on.
-Damn it. -[tense action music ends]
[narrator] After several setbacks,
Delta Team is less than 200 meters from their finishing shoreline,
where their final challenge awaits.
[tense music playing]
[Joseph] It ain't game over.
Lord, no.
[Tina] Oh God.
[Joey] Come on, let's go!
You gotta just get there safely. Don't hurt yourself.
[Tina] I don't want to be the reason everybody lost.
You gotta get a better one. I'm telling you.
[Drake] too hard.
[Drew] All right, stop. Let's see what we got.
-I see red. We got an ember, bro. -Okay.
-Don't touch anything. -I'm not.
[Drew] Don't touch anything. Don't blow. Do not blow.
[Drake] I'm not a crazy survivalist.
I've never done a friction fire before,
and I'm kind of kicking myself in the ass for that.
I should have expected something like this along the way of this competition.
[Drew] Give it a second to breathe.
Delta, on the other hand, if they make it to the finish line,
they might be able to assemble and have a fire going in minutes.
[Drew] Blow. Blow.
[blowing]
Drake.
-We gotta make another one. -Okay. Let's make another one.
[Drew] Didn't light.
[Drake] Goddamn it.
[Brendon] It's getting rough. Grab my shoulder. Right down through there.
-Got it? You stay strong. -[panting]
All we got to do is finish strong.
-Keep going. -[Tina] Please don't do this.
No. They did. I'm the one that lost it for everybody and I'll feel like shit.
[Brendon] Don't worry about that kind of shit. We're a team.
-[Joseph] There's no way… -[Brendon] I know.
-[Tina] I'm trying. I'm trying. -[tense dramatic music playing]
-Here. Give me your arm. -[panting]
Keep going.
I know it's hard.
[contemplative music playing]
[Drake] Let's do this. This is a good fire bundle.
[Drew] Okay.
-All right. You ready? -Yep.
-Let's move it out there. -[blowing]
There we go. Outside now. Outside now.
-You got it. It's all you. -Yep. Pull this piece of wood out here.
[suspenseful music playing]
No, the one standing up. Pull it!
Be careful. Be careful.
-[blowing] -[fire crackling]
[Drew] Is it going to go out?
Come on.
The wind's screwing us.
We have to light these fuses that are above this fire, which is a long way up,
and the freaking wind is blowing the flame away from the fuse.
The wind, bro.
-[Eric] I see opening. I see a clearing. -[Joey] I see opening.
-[Tina] I'm gonna hurt myself. -[Brendon] Don't hurt yourself now.
-[Tina] I know. -[Brendon] Steady's smooth, smooth's fast.
-[Joey] How we doing? -[Joseph] They're coming.
-[Joey] All right. -I don't want to lose this for everybody.
[Brendon] You just keep going steady, Tina.
[Joey] We're almost there. Getting close.
[Eric] Almost there!
Here. Going in.
[Drew] Don't smother it.
Come on, baby.
I'm freaking out that we'll run out of flame, that it's gonna die down now.
And if it dies down, we are screwed. We lose the game.
Come on, wind. Almost got it.
[Drake] I got an idea. Give me my rain jacket!
-What are you gonna do? -Give me my rain jacket!
-I'll make a wall. -For what?
To keep the wind from blowing it away…
-I don't want it to die off. -It won't.
I don't even know which way to [bleep] go. I'm trying!
[Brendon] Almost there!
-[Joey] Yeah. -[Eric] Yeah.
[Joey] We're here!
-[Eric] Go on! Let's go! -[Joey] Let's go!
[contemplative music playing]
[Drew] We're gonna win a million dollars.
Drake, we're gonna win a million dollars.
It's almost there!
-It's almost there! -Yeah!
-Oh my God! Oh my God! -[music becomes heartfelt]
Oh my God, Drake!
Drake!
-I'm trying. -[Brendon] You're struggling.
Just do the best you can.
[Tina, voice wavering] You guys, I'm trying, okay?
-[Brendon] Keep going. -[Joey] I'm not giving up.
Let's go. Let's go.
[Drew] Come on!
Come on!
Light!
-Light! -Light!
[heartfelt music continues]
There it goes! We did it!
[both cheering]
Oh my God, bro!
We did it!
[both cheering]
[gasping]
[distant cheering]
[cheering and indistinct shouting]
[Eric] They won.
They won.
It's all good. We all played a good game.
[heartfelt music continues]
I got that dog in me!
I got that dog in me, dude!
Thank you, God!
I got that dog in me!
[Joey] They've won. It's over.
And, uh, at this point, um,
I'm just wet and cold
and, uh, ready to go home.
-[Brendon] Huh? -[Tina gasps]
[Tina] They did it.
[Tina] I emerge from the tree line, and I see the shore.
I think I saw Joe's face first and it was just blank with disappointment,
and my heart
literally stopped.
It… It shattered.
[sobbing] I'm sorry I lost it for you guys.
[Brendon] Don't be sorry. We made it to the finish line.
[Eric sighing] We made it.
It hit me that I… I failed.
I… I failed my team. I… I failed my mom.
And then just…
And I just… I crumbled. I crumbled.
["Leave Me Burning" by Carlton Hayes & Martha Bean playing]
[Brendon] Hey, get up here.
-Come here. -T, it's gonna be all right, man.
-[Brendon] You finished strong. -[Tina sobs]
[Brendon] Your mom's gonna be proud. She'll be proud.
[Joseph] Let's make it to the box. We gotta finish. Come on.
-She's gonna be proud regardless. -You fought the good fight.
Come on, let's get to the crate and finish up. Do our thing.
[Brendon] Your mom'll be proud of you. I promise. The world will be proud of you.
[Drew] There she is. The chopper.
Whoo-ee!
Oh shit.
["Leave Me Burning" continues]
That bag looks like a money bag, baby.
That's our money, baby!
[Drew] Oh my God!
I've never seen this much money in my life.
[Drake] Holy shit!
[Drew] Hello, Mom?
Hey.
I just won a million dollars!
Hey, baby. Break out the red panties, baby. We rich!
-We rich! -Oh my God!
-[Brendon] That money's just money. -[sobbing]
We can make other money.
You did something
no other woman out here or most of the men could do.
[Brendon] Those guys beat us there,
and they get the cash prize. Good on you, boys. I'm proud of you.
Did I want it? Hell yeah, I wanted it.
I wanted it for everybody on the team.
Uh, it wasn't in the cards for us, but it's okay.
-Come lay down, T. -[Brendon] You got it.
You wanna light it?
We gotta light it.
[Brendon] We didn't win, but I'm not gonna come out of this thing defeated.
There's one last challenge to finish this thing out and finish strong.
So, you know, we're gonna do it.
Look. We got everything we need right here.
Let's make it happen.
[Drew] There's our ride, brother man.
-[Drake] Bring it in. -[Drew] Let's go home.
[Drake] Let's go see our families, bro.
I'm super proud of myself. I'm super proud of Drew.
[Drew] Oh yeah, this is gonna be freaking cool as hell, man.
[Drake] Two Texas boys came out here to get it done,
and we did it.
[Drew cackling]
What'd you think about that, old son?
[Drew] I just won a million dollars with my brother.
And it's just the most amazing…
exhilarating feeling that you could ever experience in your whole entire life.
It just… [sighs]
I can't even put it into words. Like…
Drake and I, we'll be friends for life. We're gonna have each other's back.
And, um, we're gonna enjoy this win together.
No one can take this from us.
No one.
We're going home.
♪ You, leave me burning ♪
["Leave Me Burning" ends]
Congratulations, boys!
Let's get this thing going. Make it happen, Captain.
[sniffles]
-[Brendon] Being too hard on yourself. -[Eric] Yeah, stop being hard on yourself.
[moody music playing]
Even though, like, the loss was there, man,
like, we still had a job to finish.
We made it all the way here, survived, did what we had to do.
Let's light this fire.
It would have felt better if we did it to win, but by God, we completed her.
[Eric] We sure as shit did, buddy.
And sure enough, man, Brendon, he did what he had to do. And he lit the fire.
[Brendon] Yeah!
[music becomes inspirational]
[both grunt]
And once he lit the fire, it's like a weight lifted off our shoulders.
Like, man, it's over. Like, it's done. We really completed this. We survived.
Didn't finish first, but we finished.
-We played a good game, bro. -[Brendon] An awesome one, buddy.
A good, long game, man.
Finally over. Stuck it out, stuck together, it's finally over.
-[Eric] Yep. -I ain't mad at it.
I came in and said I was gonna hold my morals and integrity, no matter what.
And that's, bottom line, what happened.
So, the victory, personally, it was there.
It was there. The victory was there, man. It was there.
[Brendon] Going home, boys.
[Eric] Going out four friends deeper.
That's all that matters to me right now.
[Eric] It's just been an emotional roller coaster, I would say, for everyone.
I'm gonna miss my people, my team members.
We've carried each other on our shoulders out here.
We've suffered. We've laughed.
We've… had our good times, bad times. We've argued.
We bonded unlike, I mean, any bond I've had in a long time.
We've surpassed friendship. I mean, we are a family.
Day one, all I wanted to do was go the distance,
and, uh, I made it to the end.
There were so many reasons why I shouldn't be here now.
But all I know is that, uh,
I am so grateful for everyone on the Delta squad
and that they showed grace towards me.
[Tina] We all said in the beginning,
we're starting together, we're gonna finish together.
And I could not have finished this without any of them.
It… It means a lot, and that is the heart of what Team Delta has been.
[inspirational music continues]
You know, that was never my intention to come on here and make friends, but…
I made some good friends out here.
[Eric] As difficult as all this was out here,
I think the most difficult
is the end.
We'll be a family. Forever.
Forever in my heart.
[Brendon] All right, boys, there's whiskey on the other side of that rainbow.
[Eric] Ooh yeah!
