Curse of the Swamp

Matt Wright prepares to begin his Africa XL challenge…. all alone. Will he find redemption after failing to complete 40 days in the Amazon and become savage?

Matt Wright begins his solo XL challenge in South Africa and must find a food source fast. Plenty of wild animals roam the Selati Basin but it's going to take every ounce of skill for this hunter to take dinner home.

Bombarded by horrific storms, Matt Wright and his shelter can no longer handle the beating rain. Only one choice remains: move on in search of a sturdier home or be sent home early.

Matt discovers a new camp, giving him hope another tribe could be close by. Meanwhile, who knew impala hide could make such fashionable and protective gear?

Reaching a breaking point, Matt reads a letter from his wife that was hidden inside a knife handle. Overcome with emotion Matt is unsure he can continue the journey.

Even the greatest survivalists in the world are vulnerable to the crippling effects of isolation. Unwilling to give up and more determined than ever, Matt sets out to hunt down the other survivalists.

Matt wakes up to find his camp burning down around him. A fire forces Matt to face the grim reality of having almost been killed. It's his last chance to find XL tribe for his own safety and sanity.

Naked and Afraid XL takes a sneak peak into the toughest ever survival challenge. Twelve Naked and Afraid veterans will attempt to last 40 days and 40 nights in the Colombian badlands. Will their enemy be Mother Nature or each other?

Naked & Afraid XL drops twelve veteran survivalists into the badlands of Colombia. Their challenge is to survive 40 days & 40 nights with no food, water, or clothes. Standing in their way are deadly predators, the stifling heat and each other.

After a week of being dropped into the dangerous and desolate badlands of Colombia with no food or water, one survivalist has already tapped out, another is on the brink, and hunger, thirst, and distrust are threatening to take down several more.

After fourteen days, many who remain are struggling to adapt to their environment and each other. Some consider migrating to try and find new resources, while in other camps tension continues to rise and may lead to our second tap out of the season.

After nearly three weeks in the bush, two survivalists have tapped out, most others are making desperate treks across the savannah in search of food. If they can't find sustenance, they'll be forced out of the biggest challenge of their lives.

The 10 remaining survivalists cross the 21-day milestone and enter into uncharted waters. Scarce resources send the survivalists on a collision course. They fight for their lives with a huge electric eel and are visited by a gigantic puma.

With 15 days to go in the 40-day challenge, the ten remaining survivalists - dehydrated and protein starved - find themselves converging at dangerous Piranha Lake where they will they compete over scarce food and water.

After thirty-one days in the Colombian jungle, the pressure is on to get the nourishment they need to survive extraction, but when one member doesn't play by the rules, the future of one group is thrown into jeopardy.

The final, and most difficult, part of the 40-day challenge begins. Jeff & EJ decide to attempt their extraction alone, and relationships grow contentious between both teams as they navigate the treacherous landscape to try and finish the challenge.
