The Island with Bear Grylls 2x7

1. - Two uninhabited Pacific islands.

2. More than 5,000 miles from the UK.

3. One will be inhabited by 14 British men,

4. while a separate island will be home to 14 British women.

5. For six weeks, they will be utterly alone,

6. with only the clothes they stand up in,

7. and a handful of basic tools.

8. Filming everything themselves.

9. - When pushed to the limits of human endurance—

10. Will it be brute power?

11. - Woo, I swallowed a bit of grass,

12. that's for you, boys!

13. - Or mental strength that wins the day?

14. - What is that, Andrew, oh my God!

15. Oh my God!

16. - Who will have what it takes to stay alive?

17. Tonight, we follow the men's island.

18. - Go!

19. You all right?

20. - I think the current's got them.

21. - Start paddling, now!

22. Paddle, paddle!

23. - I actually could have died.

24. - Survival will be harder than ever.

25. They'll have to endure the height of the hash tropical

26. storm season.

27. - Everyone's all wet, everyone's cold,

28. everyone's miserable, everyone's tired.

29. - They'll have to find their own water

30. and hunt for their own food.

31. - What the f-ing hell is that?

32. - Have these mundane men got what it takes to survive?

33. - You're three and a half hour making soup,

34. it could be done in 25 minutes.

35. - You tell any chef that cooking for 11 people

36. is physically easy and he'll stab you in the (beep) eye.

37. - Three weeks ago, 14 British men

38. were cast away on this remote Pacific Island.

39. - Wow, that was the dumbest thing I ever did.

40. - Living on the edge of existence.

41. - Okay Vic, go now, go now.

42. Right, that's it!

43. - Until 47-year-old Vic—

44. - Here we go, puppy dog!

45. - Led them to capture and kill the island's number

46. one predator.

47. - We just caught a prehistoric animal.

48. - But despite their best efforts, they've not been

49. able to repeat the success.

50. - Drop empty.

51. - The onset of starvation looks upon us.

52. - And feast has turned to famine.

53. - Hey look, you can see Bruce's heart beating

54. through his chest.

55. - At least it's not me or you.

56. - I think we're gonna be in for some really hard times

57. in the next couple of weeks

58. and it will test everybody's mettle, mine

59. as much as everybody else.

60. - There is a snake here.

61. - Keep track of it, we're coming.

62. Keep on it, block it off.

63. - Oh my God.

64. Bonnie, you've become a killer.

65. - It's food.

66. But I take no pleasure from doing that whatsoever.

67. It's the second bloody animal I've beheaded

68. since being here.

69. - Killer.

70. - In the four days since the men caught and ate

71. the crocodile, they've had to survive

72. on slim pickings.

73. - Oh hello, it's eaten a baby bird!

74. - A bird and a snake, get them on the fire too!

75. - Yeah, man!

76. - Must be a bit,

77. it's like snake Christmas.

78. - It's very like pork snatching.

79. - Oh, my gill.

80. - Apart from the odd opportunistic kill,

81. the only man who's been able to provide anything

82. like a regular supply of food for the group

83. is 47-year-old Vic.

84. - Whoo-hoo!

85. Look at the size of that bitch!

86. If I didn't have that many mouths to feed, I would

87. live like a king, there's no two ways about that.

88. It's a shame nobody else is raking food in

89. because that would be helpful.

90. - If you go to sea and catch amazing fish

91. that keeps me fed every night,

92. I'm not gonna stop the guy.

93. - But even with Vic's contributions,

94. the men are burning

95. far more calories than they're consuming.

96. - I'm slowly evaporating.

97. And soon to this bit,

98. I'm gonna fly home.

99. - What happens in these periods of starvation

100. is that the body starts to eat into its own fat reserves

101. and key muscle groups, like your legs that you desperately

102. need in a survival situation

103. and then over time,

104. as the brain also gets starved of nutrients,

105. that decline becomes mental as well as physical,

106. and that then affects your ability

107. to make smart, rational decisions.

108. - Yeah, that's new, that's fresh,

109. this is drier as a bone, this stuff.

110. - I got it.

111. - Every day, the men face a round of essential

112. back-breaking chores.

113. - I feel pretty tired.

114. - Which leave them little time or energy

115. for hunting.

116. With no food to sustain them,

117. the group's cook, Sam Brown is doing his best

118. to rustle up an edible lunch from leftover fish bits,

119. crocodile bones and limpets.

120. - Put a stew on, we're boiling the bones down,

121. we're gonna save the big bones

122. so we can make a stock

123. and try to feed 11 people in the next hour

124. or two hours.

125. A lot of the cooking has fallen on my shoulders,

126. but I'd rather do it and do it well

127. than watch someone else (beep) it up

128. and go hungry or have to pick fish scales out of my food.

129. Oh, (beep) sake, guys.

130. - What?

131. - It's (beep) filled with limpet guts.

132. We've got 11 bowls,

133. three of which have been used as spitoons,

134. that's overnight, rotting limpet guts.

135. That's disgusting and that's gonna give us diarrhea,

136. vomiting, that's gonna get you off the island

137. really fast.

138. Somebody needs to be on washing up detail.

139. - Wash all them?

140. - Yeah, they don't wash themselves, boys.

141. - I think what you just said was a little bit unfair there,

142. son.

143. - I'll talk to them when they get back.

144. - But why didn't you do it? - Do what?

145. - Why didn't you take them down to washing?

146. - Because I'm watching the fire and I'm cooking the soup.

147. - That's not a massively hard task now, is it?

148. - If that soup pot falls over.

149. - We're all starved.

150. - We're all fucked.

151. - It's not a physically hard task now, is it?

152. - It's not a physically hard task.

153. - Some of us are really working really hard,

154. we're all sweating our balls off.

155. We are.

156. - Okay mate, cook a pot of soup and we'll talk,

157. that's all I'm saying.

158. - There are one or two people that are fantastic

159. at avoiding what they're meant to do

160. and looking busy doing very little.

161. - I kind of think like, if a tree falls in the forest

162. and Vic's not there to hear it, it doesn't count.

163. Like only work that he does or the work that people do

164. right next to him counts, fuck that shit.

165. - For the men on the island, they're spending every waking

166. hour in each other's company and they get no respite

167. from the intensity of that situation.

168. And in many ways, it's little surprise

169. that they're starting to turn on each other.

170. - Okay.

171. This should be good.

172. - After a morning of hard labor,

173. the hungry men sit down, hoping to enjoy Sam's soup.

174. - God, it smells funky, doesn't it?

175. - It smells like crap.

176. - There is some distinct smell of poo about this.

177. - Smells a bit like dog shit doesn't it?

178. - I just couldn't swallow it, I literally couldn't

179. swallow it, it almost made me puke.

180. - After a barely edible lunch,

181. Vic is determined to have a decent dinner.

182. - I'm gonna fish, what choice do I have?

183. I don't want to eat limpets again, they're crap.

184. I'll eat some, but they're crap.

185. - Flagging after their morning chores,

186. the rest of the men decide to stay behind

187. in camp.

188. - Everything is an effort.

189. That's how I feel right now.

190. - Feeling knackered, boys.

191. - Absolutely knackered.

192. Completely and utterly knackered.

193. - Nobody asks me to go fishing, but they know

194. I'll go fishing to get food.

195. And I know they're doing the daily chores,

196. but guys, just start going the extra yard,

197. come on boys, once you've finished your duties

198. or you don't have much of the duty,

199. that isn't the end of day, is it?

200. I am prejudiced against everybody

201. that isn't me

202. because if you'll do it my way,

203. it would be a much better place.

204. I provide for my family.

205. I'm a good father, I'm a good husband, I hope,

206. I hope I'm an excellent lover.

207. I don't know how I'm gonna cope without speaking

208. to my wife and kids for that length of time,

209. I've no idea, I really don't know,

210. no idea, it gives me goosebumps, not sure.

211. - Dude, you are an absolute fish-tickling bastard,

212. aren't you?

213. - Late afternoon.

214. After four hours of fishing, Vic has single-handedly

215. provided dinner for the rest of the men.

216. - That is so hard.

217. I'm fucked.

218. Nobody been and got any coconut now?

219. - No.

220. - It's getting harder and harder every day,

221. coming back and seeing everybody laid on fucking beach

222. and I'm catching fish. - Sit down.

223. - No, I'm all right, I don't need to sit down.

224. I need coconut, I need water.

225. - Coconuts, we're getting tomorrow.

226. - Fucking hell, it's not like we're going to have

227. a coconut supper.

228. How difficult would it be for two or three lads

229. to go across and get a bag full of coconuts

230. or do you want me to do that as well.

231. - Fed up with the group taking him for granted,

232. Vic's made a decision.

233. - Bollocks to it, I'm not fishing anymore.

234. Somebody else go fishing.

235. I might have a couple of days off.

236. See how everybody fairs then,

237. it's somebody else's turn to step up to the plate.

238. - Wowzers.

239. - You've done incredibly well, Vic.

240. - Yeah, you really have.

241. - You've done it absolutely brilliantly.

242. - You absolutely nailed it, thanks so much.

243. - I have a couple of things to say

244. and I'm not sure whether to say them now

245. 'cause I don't want to spoil the atmosphere,

246. or save them to the end of the night,

247. so do I do them now?

248. - Say them now.

249. - Say them now? - Just have them now.

250. - Okay, today, I spent fishing all day on my own,

251. but we're all sat around here, happy as pigs,

252. and shit, eating though now, and I went without a buddy.

253. - Perhaps you shouldn't have gone without a buddy.

254. - But if I hadn't have gone when I went,

255. we wouldn't all be eating.

256. I'm saying I don't want to be busting my gut

257. and come back to see people kipping, pampering,

258. tossing it off, doing whatever, it's not fair,

259. it's not fair, that's top and bottom of it.

260. It's not fair.

261. - It's a very good point, Vic.

262. - It is.

263. - And I'm glad you raised it.

264. - So, I'll put my rods down, you'll fish for your own snout

265. and I'll eat limpets like rest of you.

266. - The group's most skilled hunter

267. has gone on fishing strike.

268. - And that's it.

269. Okay?

270. - Yeah.

271. - Understood.

272. - The burden of finding food will now fall

273. on the rest of the men.

274. - We are knackered.

275. We're all screwed.

276. - We've relied solely on fish, rod catching,

277. mostly from Vic,

278. but tomorrow, I'm a bit worried,

279. because I'm not sure the guys are going to cope.

280. It scares me.

281. - I think everyone is feeling a little bit sluggish today,

282. aren't they?

283. - Yeah, I know what you mean.

284. - 7 a.m., Dan and Sam Brown

285. are on the early morning water run.

286. - How are you feeling after your little debate yesterday?

287. - Oh, with Vic?

288. - Yeah.

289. - Pretty good.

290. - I think Vic was just maybe trying to pick

291. a bit of a fight yesterday.

292. - Yeah, he likes to push buttons.

293. I think he likes to niggle, he likes a little—

294. - Yeah.

295. - He has a sort of like, oh,

296. I'm nice as pie, ta-da-da, fuck off, he is.

297. - Where's me hat?

298. - Last night, 47-year-old Vic, the group's

299. most successful hunter announced that he was going

300. on fishing strike.

301. - I'm absolutely knackered.

302. - Are you?

303. - Yeah, I am, yeah.

304. Just trudging out, catching fish and trudging back,

305. day, after day, after day, after day, after day.

306. It's not fair.

307. - How many fishing lines have you hit with that

308. before, Phil?

309. - None.

310. - The burden of finding a fish supper

311. now lies with the other men.

312. - There is absolutely no food in this camp.

313. There is no reserve, there is no larder that we have here

314. at the moment, so if we don't catch anything today,

315. we don't eat.

316. - Right, so where are the points to go fishing?

317. - Although refusing to fish himself,

318. Vic doesn't want to go hungry,

319. so he offers the men some advice.

320. - Get your hook and put it through the limpet

321. at the top, okay, then turn the limpet and come back

322. through the soft gel, feel, feel, feel, boom.

323. - If you hit it on the outer and just hit it

324. right on the edge.

325. - Yeah.

326. - Because they nib on the edge and you want them to just

327. nibble it and get caught.

328. - You undermine me every time when I start telling

329. about stuff and it's rude, please don't do it.

330. - Sorry, Vic.

331. - Okay?

332. - I thought I was adding to you.

333. - No.

334. So if you put two limpets on—

335. - He was very quick to swipe at me,

336. and I think maybe Vic has lost perspective

337. a little bit, he thinks that he is the kingpin,

338. and that he is providing more

339. than anyone else and doing more than anyone else.

340. - I don't know if he feels the need to contribute,

341. so we all think he's contributed or I don't know,

342. but it's rude.

343. He shouldn't do it.

344. - I'm thinking three, maybe four bottles

345. around each pole and then just like that

346. all the way along.

347. - We are going to adapt and overcome.

348. - 36-year-old Will has come up with an ambitious

349. plan to fish at deeper waters

350. surrounding the island.

351. - We've got to make a raft so that we can get

352. into the middle of the channel,

353. massive hook, big fish bait,

354. I would love a ton of tuna,

355. that would be the best day ever.

356. Imagine that, sashimi, oh.

357. We don't have any oil drums or anything.

358. What we've got on this island is shedloads

359. of empty plastic bottles.

360. Fingers crossed they'll float.

361. - Right, let's get crackin'.

362. - While he waits for the men to find him food,

363. Vic takes the opportunity to make a bed

364. for himself.

365. So unlike the other, he'll be protected

366. from critters on the jungle floor.

367. - Look at that natural twine, what an actual biscuit.

368. Yeah, I'm happy with this so far.

369. I don't have a double bed I'm afraid, so I can't

370. interest my wife in sleeping with me this evening,

371. so I'm just going to single it up.

372. - Having isolated himself from the other men,

373. Vic's thoughts are increasingly turning to family.

374. - I had a very unnerving dream last night about home,

375. which was very horrible, it woke me up,

376. in not such a pleasant mood.

377. I'm missing home desperately, I keep thinking more

378. and more about my wife and kids every day.

379. I could do with a kiss and a cuddle of my missus.

380. Squeeze the life out of me, bless her.

381. - Will's raft is ready to set sail.

382. - I came up with an idea, I shall name this raft

383. after my two gorgeous daughters, Freya and Pipa,

384. so we call it Fripster.

385. - Nice, mate.

386. - I'm with you guys, even.

387. - It looks like a bunch of bottles

388. attached to some planks because it is a bunch

389. of bottles attached to some planks,

390. but our livelihood and our dependency on food

391. relies on it.

392. So go on, Fripster!

393. - Fingers crossed for the launch,

394. get some fish.

395. I name this boat Fripster the First.

396. - Long may she catch us fish from the deep.

397. - Right, help me get.

398. - Are you ready?

399. - Away, you are sailing!

400. The Fripster rolls!

401. See you in two weeks.

402. - Bye!

403. - She floats!

404. She floats!

405. - I think one of the real unsung heroes

406. in the survivor's arsenal is resourcefulness,

407. being able to look at an everyday object

408. and think of clever, ingenious ways of using it to help you.

409. The risk are big, but the spoils could be even bigger,

410. if that raft succeeds.

411. - Bigger strokes, mate, reach!

412. - After a huge joint effort from all the men,

413. apart from Vic, the raft appears to be a success.

414. Most of the group are now out trying to catch supper.

415. - I've not got the patience for fishing,

416. I'll tell you that for nothing.

417. - Leaving the grueling job of firewood

418. to Vic and IT consultant, Kyle.

419. - Kyle, why do we need a shitload more kindling

420. today than we have done,

421. it's not Woodstock, is it?

422. Kyle is still quite gifted at doing very little,

423. but that's the problem with intelligent people

424. because they think they're cleverer than the people

425. that are out doing the job for them, thinking

426. they can out-think them, when it comes to manual labor,

427. Jesus Christ, like stop getting all crazy,

428. it's manual labor, which is every job we've got.

429. I think on this island there will be people

430. that come off physically bollocks, regardless

431. of diets, whether we eat or we don't eat,

432. and the guys come off bland.

433. And if we're not all lugging out of our ass

434. at the end of this, some of you haven't been working enough,

435. have you?

436. Could you agree with that?

437. - No, it could happen where we're not all spent,

438. we work hard as a team, we achieve a lot,

439. and at the end, we're not all sort of hanging

440. out of our asses, because that could happen.

441. - What the fuck are you talking about,

442. I haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

443. - I'm just talking English.

444. - I'm uneducated, you'll have to lower it down to my level.

445. - What didn't you understand?

446. - There's two wheels in Yorkshire, layman's terms.

447. Every job is a manual job, do we agree?

448. - Yeah, yeah.

449. - So if we all plow into that 100% manually—

450. - Yeah.

451. - We will all be bollocks to the end of this journey.

452. - I already said I don't think by the end of it.

453. - Right, let me say it again then.

454. - All he goes on about is this is a physical place,

455. every task is physical.

456. Whoopy-doo, you know, that's brilliant,

457. but we're not all just grunts that have been sent out here

458. to bash on bits of wood.

459. - You can talk your way around whatever you want,

460. top and bottom of it is it's a physical island,

461. every job is physical, we should all be bollocksed.

462. If not, somebody is carrying somebody else.

463. That's the top and bottom of it.

464. - Mid afternoon, still reeling from

465. yesterday's argument with Vic, Sam Brown

466. is trying to catch some dinner.

467. - Vic keeps making little remarks to me, that just make me

468. seized.

469. - So what was getting his goat this morning?

470. - I would think if we could catch some fish,

471. maybe Vic would be in a slightly better mood.

472. - After three hours on the water,

473. Barney and Sam haven't had a single bite.

474. - So what are you thinking with these rods?

475. - I'm thinking, I don't know, maybe if they always say

476. patience is a virtue, don't they,

477. and I'm quite impatient.

478. That line tight?

479. - No, no bite.

480. - Oh fuck it, let's go in.

481. - With nightfall approaching, the other men

482. also return to camp.

483. Vic is waiting to see how many fish

484. they have caught

485. in his absence.

486. - No joy, fella?

487. - No, had a nice day fishing as you'd say, Vic,

488. not catching.

489. - Old dog should learn new tricks

490. and listen when I tell him.

491. - Does he not listen? - No.

492. - Four hours fishing and one poxy trigger,

493. I fucking hate fishing.

494. It's exhausting just standing there

495. in the sun for X amount of hours.

496. - Charley had caught a fish,

497. but that ain't feeding nobody, is it?

498. That ain't feeding jack shit.

499. - It's just limpets again.

500. - The men's attempts to provide dinner

501. without Vic's help have been a miserable failure.

502. - Desperation corner over here.

503. The pressure is on me to feed everybody,

504. it's almost as I am expected to grab a rod

505. and go out and catch fish so everybody else can eat,

506. and that ain't good, I don't like that.

507. See you in the morning, ladies.

508. - With no food in the camp, Vic opts

509. for an early night in his new bed.

510. - You on the beach, sir, oh dear.

511. Oh, yeah.

512. Let me get myself ready for bed.

513. Oh dear God, that's lovely, that's snuck.

514. - He has to remember that we are a team here,

515. and with certain things, he is quite selfish.

516. - It does not get any better, does it?

517. - For a family man, I might have expected him to be

518. more considerate of others.

519. Oh boys, you don't know what you're missing!

520. - Victor's bed is a success.

521. - While on fishing strike, 47-year-old Vic

522. has built himself a raised bed.

523. - Yeah, that was a good night skip,

524. I had some morbid dreams.

525. For some reason, one of us knew Jonathan Ross,

526. and we ended up in his house,

527. trying to catch his fish out his fish tank.

528. I cannot think why.

529. Oh I love my bed.

530. - Protected from the jungle critters,

531. Vic has had his best sleep yet.

532. While the others have had their worst.

533. - My legs are bitten to shit, my arms are bitten to shit.

534. - Sleeping rough on the jungle floor,

535. the men have been attacked

536. over night by a swarm of sand flies.

537. - They're everywhere, he's covered in them,

538. you must have 500 bites or so.

539. - I'm just not having a good reaction to them.

540. And they're starting to swell up.

541. - You may think on a desert island,

542. your real enemies are crocks, or scorpions or snakes,

543. but actually it's often the little things

544. you can't see, and worst of these are sand flies,

545. they're supper itchy, 10 times worse

546. than a mosquito, you scratch away, it's hot, it's humid

547. and that's when the bites can become infected.

548. - Dear, I've had a massive go.

549. This island either wants to decompose you

550. from the outside in, or eat you alive.

551. Good thing I'm not going on a date anytime soon.

552. - Reeling from last night's infestation,

553. the men call an emergency meeting.

554. - I got to put my hands up and say, my hands are burned,

555. they're so bad, I can barely walk.

556. And I can't walk, I can't even go in the sun.

557. So I'm happy to chop wood and stuff in here,

558. but if I go in the sun, my legs just flair up

559. and I can't even move them.

560. Tomorrow it may be down, but today,

561. it's absolutely excruciating.

562. It's like someone is puffing fire into my calves

563. when I move them.

564. - My worry with these bites because they seem

565. to be like escalating a notch,

566. like that's, I worry that with all the rain, some other

567. kind of bug might've hatched that might be starting

568. to feast on us.

569. - Today, priorities,

570. I think we just concentrate on just

571. trying to get as many of these beds up as possible.

572. - Raised beds are the group's best protection

573. against further attacks.

574. - Are you ready, because this one might jump.

575. - Having built his own yesterday,

576. Vic temporarily ends his work to rule,

577. to lend a helping hand.

578. - I think all of us, as a full team of 11,

579. gets stuck into beds, everybody's bed.

580. - Come on, get it son.

581. Go on, hit it!

582. I might be quite pushy with it, so we really get

583. stuck into it.

584. Jump on it, fella.

585. All 11 stone here, bingo!

586. Wow, I swallowed a bit of grass, that's for you, boys.

587. - Right, Mein Fuhrer, what do you think?

588. - Perfect.

589. - With all available hands on beds

590. and nobody hunting or fishing, cameraman Sam Brown

591. has once again spent the morning trying to conjure up

592. something for lunch.

593. - I feel a little bit like the child catcher this morning,

594. we're going to boil them all to death

595. and then eat them as soup.

596. Shush, my pretties, it's nearly over.

597. - I think the only job I haven't done

598. so far on this tour

599. is the difficult task of cooking.

600. Hm, cooking.

601. Right, Sam, these guys are busting their knackers,

602. I have me blisters, I want you to help the lads with wood,

603. that's all.

604. - I've just been up to help the lads with wood,

605. and they had no more for me to carry down.

606. - Let's chop some down then.

607. - If he keeps going like that, you know,

608. I'll react, I know I will.

609. - It's good for us to vent,

610. fucking hell, shit!

611. It's good to get it off your chest now and again, barney,

612. you lazy bunch of bone idle bastards!

613. Makes us all feel much better.

614. - They're chopping wood, they're not busting their guts,

615. I cannot help them chop more because I don't have a fucking

616. machete, because we've only got three in the camp.

617. - A leaderless group fighting to stay alive

618. is always gonna face conflict.

619. And what happens, individuals tend to push

620. their own agendas, and that in turn takes away

621. valuable time, valuable energy

622. for the things that really matter.

623. - How's the soup looking, Sam?

624. - Really good man, really, really good.

625. - You're three and a half hour making soup,

626. it could be done in 25 minutes.

627. - You want, really?

628. - How difficult can stirring soup be?

629. To some would look like you didn't want to go

630. and do a harder job?

631. - Excuse me?

632. - Some would say it's because you didn't want to go

633. and bust your gut.

634. - I would say fuck you, to that person,

635. that's what I would say. - Hang on, hang on, hang on.

636. Shall we just calm it down a bit,

637. we're here for another, what, three or four weeks,

638. just lets fucking calm down, eh, there's no need

639. to be like this.

640. - You're saying I'm avoiding graft, Vic,

641. is that what you're saying?

642. - Are you?

643. - That sounded very much like you were,

644. just a second ago.

645. - You're answering a question with a question.

646. Are you? - What?

647. - Are you? - What?

648. - Am I avoiding graft?

649. - Yeah.

650. - I fucking don't think so, man.

651. - Then why are you biting then?

652. - What, because you've been niggling for weeks.

653. This is what it boils down to for me, Vic,

654. you act like certain jobs are like macho jobs,

655. fishing, chopping wood, everything else,

656. women's work, that's the feeling I get, right?

657. And if that's cooking, that's fucking carrying water,

658. whatever it is, in your head it's like,

659. this is graft, this is good, everything else,

660. not difficult.

661. - I think feeding everybody is one of the most important

662. jobs on this island.

663. - So do I.

664. - Every job is a manual job.

665. - Yeah.

666. - Some jobs, in 25 minutes, they're done.

667. - Yeah?

668. - And for three quarters of an hour, you stir it,

669. is that right?

670. - What I'm trying to do Vic is get as many good meals

671. out of this as I can, rather than just—

672. - Which is appreciated because we all need it.

673. - Yeah.

674. So maybe just keep your comments to yourself

675. if you don't know about it.

676. - I thought we're allowed to air our comments.

677. - Well that's great, but if you want to piss me off,

678. you've gone about it the right way.

679. - Some jobs are physically easy, some jobs aren't.

680. Is that a better way of telling it?

681. - You tell any chef that cooking for 11 people

682. is physically easy and he'll stab you in the fucking eye.

683. - Are you really, absolutely furious?

684. - If a mate said that to me, I'd fucking hit them, you know?

685. Someone at work said that, we'd have trouble.

686. I just I don't know,

687. there's no good way to take that, right?

688. I take that as like, like a stab of integrity.

689. I look forward to seeing that 25 minute soup

690. at some stage.

691. - We built the honeymoon suite, it is stronger now

692. for the rumpy-pumpy, yeah?

693. - 4 p.m., after a day of hard graft,

694. the beds are finished.

695. - Welcome to the Chateau.

696. Let's open the curtain and that there

697. is the most uncomfortable beds

698. anyone will ever sleep on.

699. This is where the magic happens.

700. - It's not too bad, actually.

701. I will say one thing, right above your head,

702. a lot of daylight.

703. - That Pierce, is my skylight.

704. - The men will now have better protection

705. from the jungle critters,

706. but the day of hard physical labor has left them hungry

707. and shattered.

708. - I am running on empty.

709. I feel like I'm lugging my body about.

710. I can't even stand up straight, I'm starting to sway,

711. I'm starting to slur my words a bit.

712. - Since Vic went on fishing strike,

713. the men have survived on Sam's leftover soup

714. and slithers of coconut.

715. And Vic isn't impressed.

716. - I'm thinking from all this shit I want to puke,

717. it's horrible.

718. Coconut, yay!

719. Makes you shit through eye of a needle.

720. Mother nature, you can be a cruel, cruel mistress,

721. do you know that?

722. She's not gonna beat me.

723. She's certainly not gonna beat me.

724. Fucking hell, disgusting.

725. That's it, I've had enough.

726. Come on, Victor, let's have some fish.

727. - Despite Vic's strike, he's determined to catch

728. a decent fish supper

729. and persuades Kyle to join him on the raft.

730. - Instead of catching little fish,

731. I want to be catching some bigger.

732. - Let's get out there.

733. - With my health and safety, I'd be more worried

734. that we've got a home-made raft,

735. and some very strong currents

736. and a very deep piece of water.

737. - Vic and Kyle are already 200 yards from shore,

738. should something happen, they're dangerously

739. out of their depth.

740. - This is something, Vic.

741. - Oh, has daddy got a tug?

742. I think daddy might have a tug, pal.

743. Get on the end of that kid, real end of that.

744. I'm not sure what it is, what the fuck is that,

745. what the f-ing hell is that?

746. We got ourselves a fucking eel, kid!

747. You sir, are going fucking nowhere,

748. can you hold that for me?

749. - Yeah, of course.

750. - Thank you.

751. Right, now I've pinned him.

752. - You want to pin him down to the side.

753. What a man.

754. - And now I need to club him with something

755. and I think that might be this.

756. Have I got plenty of space?

757. Oh yes, I do believe that's him

758. as we speak now.

759. Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic.

760. Oh you fuck here,

761. I don't like this fucking fighting bollocks at all.

762. I really don't.

763. - They're 200, 240 yards out now and still going.

764. - One of the most precious resources that the men

765. actually have is their own energy.

766. When you're living hand to mouth, struggling for every

767. mouthful of food,

768. the temptation is to go greater and greater

769. lengths to get that precious energy.

770. - I see, I can now tie you up safely.

771. - But here's the danger, the more malnourished

772. the men get, the more their judgment gets impaired.

773. And that's when the small mistakes become

774. full-blown emergencies, and that can happen

775. in a blink of an eye.

776. - It's pulling us back.

777. - Well, one at a time, innit?

778. - I think we're getting carried.

779. - We are going backwards.

780. Go on, paddle, paddle, don't stop.

781. - Vic and Kyle are attempting to paddle

782. back to the beach.

783. - I don't like the look of this, mate.

784. - No, neither do I.

785. Start paddling, now.

786. - But they've been caught by a powerful undercurrent.

787. - Paddle, paddle!

788. Guys!

789. Come on!

790. - You all right?

791. - I think the current's got them.

792. - Come on!

793. - Come on, let's go.

794. - Fucking hell.

795. - Come on, come on, boy!

796. Guys!

797. We're gonna crash!

798. - At the mercy of the current, the raft is on

799. a collision course

800. with the island's treacherous rocky coastline

801. which could tear the men to shreds.

802. - Come on Kyle, dig the fucker in, paddle, paddle.

803. And turn again, oh baby.

804. Right, paddle, paddle, don't stop, don't stop.

805. Everybody's safe, everybody okay, no injuries?

806. - Thank the lord, thank the lord for that.

807. - After surviving a near death experience,

808. the men are shaken, but physically unscathed.

809. - We all got mangled up and chaffed up.

810. - Their raft, though, is destroyed.

811. - That was fucking scary, man.

812. - Yeah, it was, it was.

813. We were getting smashed on the rocks,

814. so I do appreciate that.

815. - Sam and Dan's swift actions saved Vic and Kyle

816. from annihilation on the rocks

817. - Fucking hairy, mate, like that was, I think that was

818. the closest I've been to a coffin at this trip.

819. - Thanks for coming and helping us, guys.

820. - Let's get back now before dark.

821. First light tomorrow we'll try and salvage as much

822. of this as we can.

823. - With their raft in tatters, and Vic's eel

824. lost to the ocean, the men now face

825. a second night with empty stomachs.

826. - Where the hell is the rest of the raft?

827. - Shit, is that the raft?

828. - Fripster is no longer, boys.

829. - Vic's putting a brave face on, but he's really shook up,

830. he could have just been knocked unconscious,

831. brains splattered on a rock.

832. He could have died.

833. He actually could have died.

834. - Vic's near death experience

835. isn't the only thing on his mind.

836. - It's been a little bit,

837. quite difficult today, truth know, for me.

838. It's coming up to the first, which is the date

839. of my first date with the missus,

840. and I'm missing her immensely.

841. So tomorrow, I may spend lots and lots of time

842. contemplating my missus and all that sorts of thing.

843. - Morning.

844. Oh, that was a good sleep.

845. - Oh, morning.

846. - After a savage sandfly attack 24 hours ago,

847. the men have spent their first night

848. raised off the ground in their own beds.

849. - Good morning.

850. Oh last night was wonderful.

851. Last night was the best unbroken sleep I've had

852. by a mile.

853. - This time, it's Vic who hasn't slept a wink.

854. - Vic looks like he spent the entire night

855. sitting on a fence post, the poor bugger

856. looks absolutely drained today.

857. - Victor looks a little edgy today.

858. I can see him cracking a little bit.

859. - Hopefully he's all right.

860. He's not the kind of guy who would show

861. his emotions.

862. He's definitely that kind of old school,

863. British, macho male.

864. - Today is the 20th anniversary

865. of Vic's first date with his wife.

866. - Never again, never again this long.

867. The greatest thing that ever happened to me,

868. other than being born, was my wife,

869. I can't wait to get back to Cheryl.

870. Smell her, taste her, touch her, feel her,

871. all them things.

872. God, I love that woman so much, it's immense,

873. truly immense.

874. - As human beings, when we're stripped of everything,

875. the real essence of who we are is laid bare.

876. Every single one of them will have a low point,

877. it is just the nature of survival,

878. it's the nature of enduring hardship.

879. If you can take a long, hard look at yourself,

880. when you're at your lowest end

881. and in that moment you can accept

882. what you see.

883. In my eye, that's what makes you a true survivor.

884. - Devastated.

885. Absolutely devastated.

886. - This is literally what we were getting smashed against

887. yesterday.

888. So dangerous.

889. - Yeah.

890. - Oh I feel so dreadful at the moment,

891. it's unbelievable.

892. This beautiful, dangerous paradise,

893. it can be a killer,

894. you take your eye off the ball

895. and she's gonna bite you in the ass.

896. The raft crash will stay with me till the day I die.

897. These guys saved my life.

898. - In camp, Vic calls the men together

899. for a chat.

900. - I'd just like to say, if I ever offended anybody,

901. upset them, unduly and they didn't deserve it,

902. I apologize, it won't happen again.

903. I worry, immensely, about providing for me and mine,

904. so perhaps that's why I compensate by working, so physically

905. I act like a fool, like a donkey.

906. I've got a fantastic wife and kids,

907. but I have this overwhelming urge

908. to provide, it drives me more than anything else,

909. and the fear of not being able to do that

910. is terrifying, terrifying.

911. - Vic, the man that said a few weeks ago,

912. that he does not see a point in crying,

913. cried.

914. - The way that you describe your wife and your family,

915. I find inspirational.

916. I've never known a man to come away with a group of guys

917. and to say, I love my wife to bits.

918. She's the best things I've ever experienced

919. in my life, I never hear that.

920. And that's one thing I'm gonna take away from you,

921. I'm gonna take that.

922. - Every time you talk about Cheryl, I feel like

923. she's in the room.

924. Don't get me wrong, but you pissed me off more than

925. just about anyone here.

926. But overall, mate, you're worth every ounce of you,

927. you've lifted us up more times than I could say.

928. We'd be seriously worse off if you weren't here.

929. - I wasn't expecting this.

930. I'll be honest with you, not at all.

931. I expected difficulties and confrontation

932. and conflict, but not to find something out

933. about me, that was the last thing I expected.

934. What a great bunch of blokes these really are,

935. what a great bunch of blokes,

936. I ain't never gonna see eye to eye with every one of them,

937. but on this island, it's a family, it's the island family.

938. - Vic calls an end to his fishing strike

939. and heads out on his own to catch dinner

940. for the group.

941. - So nice and steady, nice and fucking steady,

942. hold your ground, we're good, we're good, we're good.

943. - It's been three days since the men had anything

944. substantial to eat

945. and they are obsessing about food.

946. - I once saw this documentary about some women

947. that were still breastfeeding kids at the age of,

948. was it, three, four?

949. - I always think that the longer you're on the breast,

950. the better.

951. - What, eight, nine?

952. - Yeah, I think if you're taken off the breast too early—

953. - You become short.

954. - It stunts your growth.

955. - Well, hello!

956. - Hey!

957. - Gentlemen, how are we all?

958. - What did you get, Vic?

959. - I wish I had a fish for each of us, but alas

960. I don't, what I can say though, is this,

961. of the five fish I caught, two are the biggest

962. I have ever caught in all my life.

963. - And one of them is the size of a small dog!

964. - Fucking hell, yeah, boy!

965. - Daddy brought home the bacon!

966. - They are massive, Vickers!

967. - For he's a jolly good fellow,

968. for he's a jolly good fellow,

969. for he's a jolly good fellow!

970. And so say all of us!

971. - He's back to normal Vic,

972. shouting, and whooping and getting fish

973. and stuff like that, everything that he loves.

974. - Look at the size of that bitch.

975. - Fripster will sail again.

976. Fripster Two will sail again.

977. - I can't get this Titanic picture out of my head.

978. - That was like Titanic.

979. See, if I was Kate Winslet,

980. who was Leonardo?

981. Once more, over the deck!

982. - Sometimes I'd like to smash him repeatedly

983. in the face, but I think me and Vic are in danger

984. of becoming quite good friends,

985. huge respect for the guy.

986. - Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic!

987. - When in doubt, send Vic out!

988. - Next time, on the women's island.

989. - You are not leaving this island.

990. I don't care if I have to carry you

991. on my fucking back.

992. The one thing we need for George, is food.

993. - Get the knife, get the knife!

994. Come here, come here.

995. - I think it's about time that we get out there

996. and get a bit brutal.

997. There, there, there, there!
