The Island with Bear Grylls 2x8

1. - Two uninhabited Pacific islands.

2. More than 5,000 miles from the U.K.

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'll be utterly alone.

6. - Stingrays, one.

7. Survivors, nil.

8. - With only the clothes they stand up in.

9. - Guys!

10. - And a handful of basic tools.

11. Filming everything themselves.

12. When pushed to the limits of human endurance.

13. - Hey look, you can see Pierce's heart beating

14. through his rib.

15. - Will it be brute power

16. or mental strength that wins the day?

17. - We found two tins of baked beans!

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

19. Tonight, we follow the women's island.

20. - Survival will be harder than ever.

21. They'll have to find water, (pig squeeling)

22. and hunt for their own food.

23. - That is the biggest yucca I've ever seen.

24. - Living on the island

25. in the middle of tropical storm season.

26. - How on Earth are we expected to survive in this?

27. - When pitted against the extremes of nature

28. - Hello!

29. — Have these mundane women got

30. what it takes to survive?

31. - Guys, come back here really slowly.

32. - There, there, there.

33. - It's been almost three weeks

34. since I've dropped 14 women off on this

35. remote Pacific island.

36. - Radio in now, medic now!

37. - They're three people down.

38. - I thought she'd hang on in there.

39. - And with fewer women to hunt,

40. and food running dangerously low...

41. - Surely, I'm going to die soon.

42. - Sparona Abby, one of the oldest of the

43. women, has kept the group together.

44. - Do you not eat them?

45. - No.

46. - I absolutely would.

47. I don't care that they're cute.

48. - She encouraged the others to make

49. a difficult but necessary survival choice

50. to eat their pet pigs.

51. - I don't know about anyone else,

52. but I feel like a wild animal.

53. - (laughs) what's your assessment of the situation,

54. hair dresser?

55. - There was a vocabulary for hair dressers

56. so as not to offend the client,

57. so I'm always circling my work.

58. So I would say it's (beep) at it.

59. - After weeks on the island,

60. stripped of all luxuries, Abby is improvising

61. in her island salon with a novel blue rinse.

62. - It's probably permanent boat paint or something

63. Basements are over there

64. the junior will see to it.

65. I'm quite happy now I've done a bit of hair dressing.

66. Oh look at the color of the sea,

67. - (laughs loudly) - That's what we want

68. to swim in. - (laughs loudly)

69. - In a group like this, when you're really starving

70. and struggling all you need is that one person

71. to kind of shine a little beacon of light

72. and say something really witty and funny.

73. And Abby is that person.

74. - It's 95 pounds please.

75. - (laughs)

76. - Oh yeah.

77. - Oh the oven's broken

78. I think chef.

79. - Oh my god.

80. - It' been days since the women

81. ate the piglets, and they haven't had a decent meal since.

82. - Can I have it with sand please?

83. - (laughs)

84. - I don't think I've got enough sand in my mouth.

85. - They're back to eating

86. scraps of foraged coconut and yucca.

87. And starvation isn't far away.

88. - Do you believe this was actually on fire?

89. - Oh wow.

90. - That's a really burnt one Jules.

91. Do you want a different one darling?

92. - No I'll tear this off.

93. - With some eating as little as a

94. dangerously low as 200 calories a day.

95. Any stores they've started off with are basically gone.

96. So the women need to go all out to increase

97. their food intake.

98. And their lives are going to depend on that.

99. - I'm sorry I've got to spit that out.

100. - Is it too dry?

101. - No it's disgusting.

102. - I would say a couple of days go in jest

103. that my body feels like it's digesting itself,

104. I jest no more.

105. I am eating myself from the inside.

106. I'm just hoping that we can get some (beep) food.

107. - Do you know what my favorite thing to do at the minute is?

108. I go to the imaginary supermarket in my head

109. with the shopping trolley empty

110. and go up and down the isles and do shopping.

111. I've spent about 10 minutes in the

112. jam and condiments section yesterday.

113. - Did you?

114. - Mmhm.

115. - What did you get?

116. - Well I mean I went through the

117. I got marmalade, I got shredded down smooth in the end

118. because I didn't know what to do.

119. And I was going along because I obviously

120. bought the imaginary pate,

121. so I needed to debate which imaginary

122. condiment would go best

123. and then I got to the bakery and I didn't know

124. whether I wanted crispy bread or soft bread.

125. This the mind of a lunatic.

126. - In terms of survival skills I think I'm quite

127. mentally strong and I don't think there is much

128. that will rattle me, but then I've never really

129. been pushed to my limits before.

130. I think the biggest challenge is being about to go

131. for a long period without a good dinner in my belly.

132. I don't think of myself as a natural hunter gatherer,

133. but in 34 years nothing has gotten between me

134. and a meal yet.

135. So if there's food on that island I'll find it.

136. - Unable to digest yucca,

137. the women's breakfast is not agreeing with Georgina.

138. - Being sick again I can't stop.

139. - Oh my god!

140. - I don't know what I'm

141. - Are you drinking enough?

142. - Oh I've just tried to drink a little (groans).

143. It's driving me mad.

144. - Camp doctor, Belinda is concerned

145. about Georgina's condition.

146. - George literally exists on a couple

147. of limpets a day and maybe a couple of snails.

148. She does not eat more than about that much

149. tiny square of coconut a day.

150. So she's probably consuming under 20 calories per day

151. and it's just not sustainable.

152. - Georgina's inability to

153. digest their limited diet

154. means she did her vital organs at risk.

155. - You've had some retching, yeah?

156. - It feels completely debilitating when

157. it comes.

158. - Yeah well this is one of the major reasons

159. why I'm worried about kidneys.

160. So we'll just get your temperature.

161. - I mean they're like

162. I can literally feel my muscles

163. within my body wasting away.

164. You might have just heard that was my stomach rumbling.

165. I just need to get some food, just something.

166. Because if I don't eat, then it will be the end of the game

167. for me really with regards to being on the island.

168. - Off we go.

169. - Everyone is now pitching in to try

170. and find protein that they can share with Georgina.

171. A group led by Abby are scouring the shoreline.

172. - They're very hard to get off.

173. Look at the size of that monster.

174. - Can I have a try?

175. - You can.

176. - Just have a try and just banging it.

177. - Do you say that to your boyfriend?

178. - Yeah! (laughs)

179. - limpets!

180. So you've got the cool, the warms, and the naturals.

181. So that's got a slight lilacy tinge in it

182. but it's nice.

183. I run my own business.

184. Sales for the last month are really really good,

185. you know that...

186. I like being in charge of people and a team.

187. I'll work at something until I am successful at it.

188. I have a bad back, it causes me quite a lot of problems

189. and quite a lot of pain.

190. I get through it and I don't let it stop

191. me from doing anything anymore.

192. I'll snow ski, I'll ride, and I'll push myself.

193. Good lad.

194. The first day we came up

195. _ Yeah

196. - They were on that back wall.

197. Just no bloody limpets,

198. it's like we've eaten them all.

199. - They're all down there.

200. - Well I'm not going down there to get them.

201. I'm not risking my life to get a freakin limpet, no chance.

202. - With limpets few and far between,

203. the women desperately need to find a

204. protein rich meal for Georgina.

205. - Get the knife!

206. Get the knife!

207. - What is it?

208. - Get the machete.

209. Where's the machete?

210. Just get the fucking machete.

211. - Georgia spotted a sting ray in the shallows.

212. - Wow!

213. It's fast!

214. - Oh no chance.

215. - How fast did that move.

216. - That was like lightning fast.

217. - The miss has cost them a potential 4,000

218. calorie meal.

219. - We would have had a proper belly full, you know

220. proper belly full.

221. As opposed to this much dry coconut every day.

222. - Georgina must once again go to bed hungry.

223. But she's not the only one who's suffering.

224. - I've got pants as my pillow and smelly socks.

225. - 47 year old Abby has been dealing with

226. back pains since a horse riding accident in her teens.

227. - Oh god.

228. - Abby's not happy, she's in pain.

229. I hope she's okay.

230. - Since arriving on the island,

231. she's been sleeping on the hard ground.

232. - I have no where comfortable I can go.

233. Honestly it's laying down on the floor.

234. I think my back's absolutely screwed.

235. It's really hard to explain because it's not

236. something you can see.

237. It is my health and it's not something

238. anyone can help me with.

239. I don't want to be a liability to anyone else

240. and not be able to do the things I came to do

241. which was to help and be a graphter.

242. - So I've got the scales here.

243. I've calibrated them and set the dial to zero.

244. - But it's all the women's health

245. that's a concern for Dr. Belinda.

246. After noticing the steep decline in

247. Georgina's physical condition,

248. she wants to closely monitor the groups' weightloss.

249. - Harvey.

250. - I used to go to slimming club right.

251. Every Monday.

252. I feel like I'm about there.

253. If I am 10 and a half stone today,

254. I'll be a happy bunny.

255. - 135 pounds.

256. - I've got my goal!

257. - In 21st century Britain

258. we're all obsessed with

259. body image, but when the pounds are dropping

260. because of starvation and malnutrition,

261. it's a dangerous mindset to have.

262. And it really is not a cause for celebration.

263. - But you can see your waist is tiny, turn around.

264. Let me see your tiny little waist.

265. Aw look at that little waist!

266. - (whispers) I want to lose a bit more though.

267. - You've lost a lot.

268. Gosh, you're wasting away aren't you sweetheart.

269. - I have to say I don't find starvation a good

270. way of losing weight,

271. I don't think we should be celebrating.

272. I just don't find starvation a sexy way to get skinny.

273. - Georgina has lost a dangerous 21

274. pounds in weight, and collectively the group.

275. have lost almost 10 stone.

276. The weight of an entire person.

277. - We're at a critical stage where our bodies

278. have gotten no food.

279. And so they can't sustain themselves.

280. We're not on a diet,

281. we're starving.

282. - Concerned about their dramatic

283. weight loss, Georgina calls the group together.

284. - I do feel like I may have nose dived in terms

285. of food deprivation a lot quicker than the rest of you.

286. I can see that I've been a lot weaker than the rest of you.

287. And I really do think that food still needs to

288. be a number one priority.

289. I just don't know how long we can sustain five limpets.

290. - I don't think we can.

291. - I think we're all a little bit in denial about

292. how critical it is that we start finding food.

293. - The need to find protein for Georgina

294. is now urgent.

295. With only a few hours of daylight left,

296. a group led by Lauren are setting traps in the hope

297. of snaring a pig.

298. - That's nice little trap isn't it.

299. - Unless you're wanting to survive off shredded

300. old pits of coconut and the old yucca plant,

301. then it's time to face up to the facts

302. that I'm gonna have to maybe

303. you know get a bit brutal.

304. - You ready?

305. - It worked.

306. - Yeah.

307. - Rise and shine beautiful.

308. It's a glorious day.

309. - 7 am.

310. And the women have endured another bad night sleep.

311. - (whispers) I don't think my spine can take much more

312. of this sleeping on the floor.

313. - Oh.

314. Getting up.

315. - In pain, 47 year old Abby

316. confides in her closest friend Beth.

317. - Every night I say this is the time I dread

318. because I'm so uncomfy.

319. Even just turning from my back to my right

320. is like a knife going into the nerve.

321. It's like (groans).

322. I'm now really concerned.

323. - She hasn't really moaned.

324. One of Abby's problems is she's worried.

325. She doesn't like giving up, she likes to keep going

326. and keep going.

327. And she's such a hard worker,

328. she's just fucking amazing.

329. - Let's see what's in this sucker.

330. - She's a proper proper graphter.

331. But I love that, but her mind is saying one thing

332. and her body is saying something else.

333. And she's got to listen to her body.

334. - At camp, Abby calls an urgent meeting.

335. - Over the last few days, my back's gone

336. down hill massively.

337. To the point where I'm in a lot of pain.

338. And it's now worse than it's ever been.

339. I know certain people here kind of said do less.

340. I wouldn't be happy doing less.

341. But the fact is, I have to get off the island

342. because I'm not helpful to you anymore.

343. I'm really sorry and I feel like a shit.

344. - I actually can't believe it.

345. I'm just completely shocked.

346. I knew that she was in pain,

347. I knew that she was having back pain

348. but it's happened so fast.

349. - I'm really gutted to see you go

350. because I think we could have done really well here with you

351. and I think we will be a little bit weaker without you.

352. - I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a piece of me now

353. that isn't completely terrified

354. because there is only 10 of us.

355. - Just everything now is gonna be completely harder.

356. - And I can't imagine how we're gonna get through

357. and we're gonna feed ourselves.

358. I think hunting is gonna become such a problem.

359. - Oh me best mate.

360. (muffled) I'm sorry to abandon you.

361. - So sad.

362. I'm annoyed for like for her

363. that she had to go because of her back.

364. And I'm annoyed for me,

365. but I'm gonna have to stay out here.

366. But we just got on really well

367. and it was just really nice to know that she was there.

368. - Bye.

369. - Bye I miss you already!

370. - Come back!

371. - I don't know about you but I feel very fed up.

372. - Yeah.

373. I feel as the group gets smaller and smaller,

374. you're like how are we meant to do this?

375. - Exactly.

376. That's exactly - How on earth are we meant to

377. do this?

378. - Exactly.

379. - That's shit.

380. It's really shit.

381. - The group has lost Abby,

382. one of their most valued members.

383. Now they'll each have to work even harder

384. to find food for 34 year old Georgina

385. who is dangerously week from starvation.

386. - I don't have the patience for that, Lauren.

387. - Neither do I really, but

388. I really want to eat something.

389. - The women haven't caught a single fish

390. since they first stepped foot on the island.

391. They're attempting to set nets for the first time.

392. - I'm literally solely focused on getting

393. through the days and getting food.

394. And I'm gonna go after it and I'm gonna get it.

395. I'm gonna get it for the other girls as well, you know.

396. - I feel sorry for George because she's just been

397. absolutely nailed by illness.

398. And so failure is not an option.

399. - Whoa!

400. - That's not even stable at all.

401. - On a desert island one of your best sources

402. of food is obviously gonna come from the sea

403. but none of the women are experienced at sea fishing.

404. So the realty is it's gonna take them hours and hours

405. of painstaking trial and error, being patient,

406. if they're gonna hone their skills.

407. - It's as sturdy as we're gonna get it.

408. - Who knows, there could be fish tonight.

409. - It's now been 12 hours since

410. Lauren and the group set the net.

411. - I'm hoping that we've got about 10 fish in our net.

412. - Come on net.

413. Do us good, do us good.

414. - Their last hope of feeding Georgina tonight

415. rests on a decent haul.

416. - There's one of our floats.

417. - The net's here.

418. - Is it?

419. - Is there a fish in it?

420. - No.

421. (groans) Bastard.

422. - That's such a shame.

423. I don't have the will to be able to untangle that knot.

424. - How the fuck are the we gonna catch fish?

425. - We're pathetic today.

426. - No.

427. (speaking off mic) - Honestly I haven't eat

428. I have't been able to function at all today.

429. - With no fish and Georgina's health

430. hanging in the balance, it's a race against time

431. to find food.

432. To make sure these women have a fighting chance at

433. survival, I've made sure that the island's

434. got enough water, indigenous animals,

435. and vegetation on it to keep them alive.

436. But only if they've got the ingenuity

437. to find it, catch it and kill it.

438. - Fingers crossed.

439. - Yesterday Lauren and Beth set

440. animal traps in the island's jungle interior.

441. They're going back to see if they've been successful.

442. - Something has eaten the bail, but not set off the trap.

443. Got the knife.

444. It's not a game.

445. And it's a long time without food

446. and we can't survive without food.

447. I think it's about time that, you know,

448. that we get out there and

449. start hunting some animals.

450. One of my main things that's pushing me for this challenge

451. is finding out who I am.

452. Can I survive, can I hunt for my own food?

453. We don't do that nowadays.

454. Super cheesy lasagna.

455. - Cheesy dip.

456. - It's not called cheesy dip.

457. - Yes it is.

458. - I just think it's getting back to our animalistic

459. roots and what happens if you have to go hunting for it.

460. Kill it yourself, skin it or whatever, and then cook it.

461. It's been set off.

462. It has. - (gasps)

463. - Oh my god - Oh my god, Lauren!

464. - (whispers) Fuck.

465. - They've caught a big by it's leg

466. in one of their traps.

467. - Fuck. - Fuck.

468. That is one huge pig.

469. - I can't believe that.

470. - Before killing it, Lauren and Beth

471. decide to return to camp to plan and prepare their tools.

472. - Oh my god, we're gonna eat tonight.

473. - I know.

474. - Like we've never eaten before.

475. Yay!

476. - Georgie.

477. We've caught one.

478. We've caught a pig.

479. - You are kidding me.

480. - No.

481. - (cheering) - There's a pig in the trap.

482. - We've literally walked and then heard this

483. - Nice!

484. - Oh my god.

485. - Genius.

486. - Everybody's got food,

487. but I recognize that I really need that food.

488. It's a little bit of a mental feeling.

489. And who knew that a pig in a snare would

490. would feel like such an emotional thing.

491. - We're just gonna have to absolutely

492. throw our bodies at it.

493. Don't look at it in the eye,

494. don't have your eyes wide and looking at it.

495. So don't show any of your teeth.

496. Approach it really quietly.

497. - Okay.

498. - And so once you've got it on the ground

499. you need to tie its hooves together

500. and you need to noose it's neck.

501. So someone will have to be pulling on its neck.

502. Does anyone else want to kill the pig?

503. - I don't feel confident that I could, I don't know enough.

504. - If you need help at any stage,

505. I'm more than happy to help.

506. - Okay.

507. At the minute, I'm the only in the group that could

508. actually physically kill an animal

509. because no one else wants to do it.

510. And so I feel that that's a responsibility as well.

511. I don't see them as an animal anymore,

512. which is so strange for me.

513. I love animals to pieces,

514. but I just feel completely detached from that now.

515. - It's been over an hour since

516. Lauren and Beth found the pig in the trap.

517. A decisive kill is now crucial to the whole group.

518. - (whispers) I'm gonna go for the head and

519. They're going to go for the legs.

520. You'll be ready to come in with the noose

521. and hold it on the side of the leg

522. so we've go it.

523. - (whispers) get it.

524. - Someone grab this.

525. Come around this side.

526. Beth, come around this side.

527. - Okay right.

528. - Here's the noose.

529. - Hang on.

530. Perfect, step.

531. - Try and...

532. - Oh shit.

533. - Fuck.

534. - (whispers) For god's sake.

535. - (whispers) That's so frustrating.

536. - We lived and learned on that one.

537. I think you need to get on him quicker.

538. - I feel like I fucked that one up.

539. Dammit.

540. Dammit, could have good eating

541. and now I feel like I've let down everybody else.

542. You know the ones waiting at camp

543. thinking oh they've got a pig

544. and we'll be eating tonight.

545. And George isn't very well.

546. She's been sick.

547. So,

548. yeah I just feel shit.

549. - We did all right.

550. - How much we got?

551. - Not enough.

552. Could do with a bit more of everything.

553. Maybe around the next bit,

554. but I think we've exhausted this little section.

555. - With the hunt a failure,

556. Georgina has no choice but to join

557. Georgie and Beki on another bleak search for shellfish.

558. - So hot isn't it?

559. - Yeah, it's really humid.

560. Really hot.

561. - Already weak malnutrition,

562. the effort is further depleting Georgina's

563. dangerously low reserves.

564. - The function of my being is struggling.

565. I just feel like a switched has been turned off

566. every time I stand up.

567. I don't know what I can do about it either

568. because it's like a vicious circle, you need the energies

569. to get food

570. but you haven't got the energy without the food.

571. I honestly don't know where these girls are

572. getting their energy from.

573. - Swim time!

574. - It certainly is.

575. - Let's go for a swim babe.

576. - Yeah.

577. I'm just really worried about how weak I am.

578. I just don't want to be the person

579. who's like a dead weight.

580. - You're not gonna be,

581. you're not gonna be. - But I feel like I am.

582. It's just so not like me.

583. Honestly, it's like the lights have gone off.

584. And it's really

585. it's really quite alarming.

586. - Listen, you are not.

587. Listen you are not leaving this island.

588. Right for one, listen to me - But I do

589. - No listen, you are not leaving this island

590. till the fucking end game right.

591. I don't care if I have to carry you on my fucking back

592. and nor does she.

593. - And you would.

594. - I would!

595. And I would.

596. I'm really really worried about Georgie Kay.

597. Literally I'm watching her deteriorate before my eyes.

598. She's eating the yucca,

599. she's not really keen on the limpets.

600. And I'm just really worried

601. she's not gonna make it to be honest.

602. The one thing we need, for George,

603. is food.

604. But who knows, maybe we can get one more island miracle.

605. And turn George's fate around.

606. Which would be amazing.

607. - So far, all the women's attempts

608. at hunting and fishing on the island have failed.

609. - Oh right.

610. - A cup of noodle?

611. - Yeah.

612. - Desperately hungry, they've resorted

613. to scavenging for nourishment on the beach.

614. - Budweiser, full of seawater.

615. - What's that, some kind of thing.

616. It's a men's perfume, smell that.

617. - Oh now I'm getting horny! (laughs)

618. Oh, first time I've thought about a man.

619. - Jamie could have humped this smell

620. - Maybe if you wear that, I might start humping you.

621. - Oh god.

622. - (laughs)

623. - The women have been living on an

624. extreme low calorie diet for weeks.

625. And health for one in the group is causing grave concern.

626. - I'm really worried about George.

627. She sleeps all the time, she's been sick.

628. She's just not well.

629. I don't know whether she's gonna last.

630. Who am I gonna talk about food with?

631. We can't afford to lose anyone else in this group.

632. - One rich source of food on the island,

633. is it's bird life.

634. Catching one of the island's larger bird,

635. could mean 2,000 calories to share with Georgina.

636. - Now I have no idea if this will work.

637. We can only try.

638. - Psychotherapist Chavala has fashioned

639. a bird trap out of a stick, some string, and a coconut.

640. - I'm gonna put my trap in here.

641. This is quite good territory.

642. Birds are often flocking here.

643. We don't want to get nice pretty birds.

644. - But to lure her prey,

645. she's going to need bait.

646. - I need to hurt a little crab.

647. I don't want to do this.

648. I'm not very good at machetes.

649. Hello beautiful

650. Go on go to daddy.

651. One two three.

652. My dad's been a pigeon raiser from a young age.

653. So I understand birds.

654. I know how to handle them, I know what to do.

655. And if it comes to it...

656. I'll kill one.

657. No no no no no.

658. I wouldn't take any pleasure from it.

659. I don't really want to kill anything,

660. but I could.

661. If I'm hungry.

662. In those situations, what needs to be done needs to be done.

663. Yeah, I've done it.

664. So I've killed it.

665. - Chavala will need to return in the morning.

666. So dinner tonight will be, once again,

667. a handful of limpets.

668. At around seven calories a pop.

669. - So I think we've got five each, I think.

670. I don't know if you want to count them up.

671. - Whoa!

672. - Pop that in your mouth!

673. - Might be a bit hot.

674. - It's like a lollipop, I can't fit it in.

675. - Oh I know what it's like and it's not like a lollipop.

676. For me, it looks like a balend.

677. - This tastes like her boyfriend's ball.

678. - How I would imagine a testicle to taste.

679. - And those limpets, bloody hell oh my god.

680. It reminded me of, if I was to put my boyfriend's

681. testicle in my mouth and take a bite.

682. Like a rubbery consistency and then a pop of like juice

683. and goo and like oh my god

684. and now I can't get that imagine out of my head.

685. It makes git thinking about it.

686. - By the way she's never teabagged him.

687. - What does teabagging mean?

688. - Who's gonna explain that one?

689. - You put their testicles in your mouth

690. - Why?

691. - Why not?

692. - I'm joking you dirty bitch.

693. - Classy.

694. - Another day, and once again no breakfast.

695. - Who'd like some pancakes and bacon?

696. - Oh, don't.

697. - Pancakes, bacon, maple syrup.

698. A stack.

699. - George, can I get you anything?

700. - Ravished by hunger,

701. Georgina is too frail to leave camp.

702. - I've been sick again.

703. - Sick again? - Retched

704. Just retching!

705. - I'm absolutely floored by what I can only presume is

706. malnutrition.

707. I don't wanna be the one who ill or sickly

708. because I'm not that person at home.

709. There's enough people who need eating or drinking

710. without just having a dead weight to carry.

711. - Okay so.

712. It's not nice, but if there is a birdy there

713. I need to take a knife.

714. - Chavala's bird trap, if successful

715. could provide a much needed meal.

716. - You've killed birds before right?

717. - Yeah but I don't like doing it.

718. It kind of was enforced on me as a child.

719. Insects have eaten the bait.

720. Trial and error, Georgie, trial and error.

721. But I need to go away and rethink it.

722. I think we are actually starving you know.

723. You'd never sit at home and just think

724. oh I'll just have one limpet today

725. or I won't eat today.

726. I'll eat in three weeks.

727. Just doesn't happen.

728. - With Chavala's bird trap a failure,

729. there's no choice but to venture back into the jungle.

730. - We gonna set some pig traps.

731. So we can get some pigs.

732. - What's your favorite type of pork?

733. - I think it's gotta be pulled pork,

734. but done right.

735. - Having come so close to making a kill

736. 24 hours ago, Lauren, Beth and Belinda are back on the

737. trail of the pig.

738. - So let's try and find some tracks and trap it up.

739. - It could be their only hope

740. of keeping Georgina on the island.

741. - Here's the dead eaten crab isn't it.

742. It's been here snuffling.

743. - We tried to yesterday.

744. - Stop!

745. On that branch right in front of you darling

746. is a boa - A massive boa.

747. - See this branch here, look at the top.

748. Wow.

749. - (whispers) Should we try and catch it?

750. - Yes!

751. - I have his girlfriend.

752. - The boa constrictor snake is a

753. formidable foe.

754. This guy will kill his prey by biting, grabbing,

755. then wrapping and suffocating.

756. And then, he'll swallow it whole.

757. They're very fast, it can strike half their body length

758. and you do not want to get a snake bite

759. in a survival situation.

760. - You see him?

761. - I think he's gone actually inside

762. going down, so he's probably

763. gonna come out in a minute.

764. - Whoa he's out - Okay he's coming down

765. - Sorry - He's out

766. - Sweet, okay now he's in striking mode.

767. - The way to kill it, is to pin it's head.

768. If you can control the head, you can control the body.

769. And then either stave his head in with a rock

770. or cut his head off with a machete.

771. But if you can catch them, this is great survival food.

772. Look at all the meat on this guy.

773. - Whoa right.

774. There we go.

775. There's your

776. - Well done B, you've got him.

777. Well done, well done, well done.

778. - Yeah I didn't get him.

779. - Sweet - I didn't get him.

780. I didn't get him.

781. - Oh she didn't.

782. - Come on you can even just do a machete on him.

783. - Oh.

784. No.

785. - Hold.

786. - Good one, good one.

787. Well done, well done, well done.

788. - Okay well done guys, well done.

789. Well done.

790. - High five!

791. - Yeah!

792. - We seized the opportunity and just went and did it.

793. - Oh wow.

794. Sorry Mr snake.

795. - Snake starters, followed by limpets and snails.

796. This is really gonna lift the spirits on camp,

797. which is great.

798. Let's go home.

799. - I wonder on all of our jungle tracking days,

800. how many things we went past without knowing.

801. - Guys

802. - Yeah? - Guys!

803. Come back here really fucking slowly.

804. - Where are you?

805. - Don't shout.

806. There there there there.

807. There, you see it?

808. - (whispers) oh yeah.

809. It's a pig.

810. - Fucking

811. hell.

812. - Is it dead?

813. - It's not dead, it's just closed its eyes.

814. - Here's the thing, do we jump it now?

815. - Yep.

816. - (whispers) It seems like too much of a

817. gift from the gods not to do this.

818. - (whispers) Yeah

819. - (whispers) Basically me and you,

820. you're gonna go for the head

821. I'm gonna go for the trunk.

822. Bang it down.

823. Try and get the whole noose around its neck.

824. They're gonna come in straight after

825. tie it's legs together.

826. If we need it, smack it with the rock.

827. Get in and down.

828. We cannot hesitate, we just have to fucking go for it.

829. We're, all of us four, are stronger than that pig.

830. Completely.

831. - (whispers) Are we committed?

832. - (whispers) I'm 100% committed.

833. - (whispers) 100%?

834. - (whispers) Yeah

835. - (whispers) 100%?

836. - (whispers) Yeah 100%.

837. - We cannot hesitate, we just have to fucking go for it.

838. - A hunting party, led by Lauren

839. has stumbled across a sleeping pig,

840. in the middle of the jungle.

841. It could offer salvation for Georgina,

842. who's desperately malnourished.

843. The law of the jungle really is rooted

844. in opportunity and you've gotta

845. take your chances when you can.

846. The women need to learn from past indecision

847. and just seize the moment.

848. The stakes are high.

849. If they fail, the group is gonna

850. slide further into starvation.

851. - (whispers) Are we committed?

852. - I'm 100% committed.

853. - 100%?

854. - Yeah.

855. - 100%?

856. - Yeah 100%.

857. - Okay.

858. - This time, they're prepared

859. and have sharp weapons for the kill.

860. - Yep got those, got both legs.

861. - Well done everybody.

862. - Put the knife there for now.

863. Then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna in like that, then down.

864. - Just remember you've got to do the double hand.

865. - Ready, one two three.

866. - Okay everyone, everyone okay?

867. - Yeah

868. - Yeah. Good.

869. You okay Beth?

870. - Yep.

871. - Okay I'm just gonna put the knife to the side

872. and out of the way,

873. - And we'll just wait. - just wait.

874. - Oh gosh that's horrible isn't it?

875. You were amazing Lauren.

876. Oh that was fucked up.

877. - I don't know why

878. I'm laughing. - No no no.

879. - It's complete adrenaline.

880. - Wow.

881. - Good work team!

882. Quite amazing wasn't it really.

883. I'll never forget this.

884. - What a day.

885. - That is the most intense

886. thing that has ever fucking happened to me in

887. my entire life.

888. It was something that was almost caveman like.

889. We just sort of behaved in this uniform way

890. that I never thought that I had in me.

891. - Whoa!

892. - And now we're gonna eat every single morsel.

893. Not let one ounce of that little piggy go to waste.

894. - H, we caught the pig!

895. - Are you kidding?

896. - No, that's what that is over there,

897. - Are you kidding?

898. - I'm not fucking kidding.

899. - Oh my god, mindblown.

900. I don't know what to say, thank you.

901. Thank you!

902. Oh my god I'm gonna have pulled pork!

903. I'm so excited for pulled pork!

904. Geeze Louise!

905. - Yep.

906. And Harvey, we have a starter.

907. - Oh my god, I've just seen in that bucket.

908. - Starters and legs.

909. - You know what, you guys,

910. you're just more of a woman then I'll ever be.

911. All of you.

912. - Did you hear George?

913. - Oh my god, I can't believe it.

914. - Shit.

915. - My adrenaline is like through the roof.

916. - Did it get caught in the trap?

917. - No it was fast asleep.

918. We jumped it.

919. - Never.

920. Oh my god.

921. - For 34 year old Georgina,

922. the pig means more than just dinner.

923. - Bloody hell, it's massive.

924. - I'm so amazed, we've got food.

925. I could cry I'm so happy.

926. - I can't tell you the feeling of absolute relief

927. that's just ran through my entire body

928. at the thought of having some food.

929. Lauren and Beth obviously did an incredible job,

930. I just can't believe it.

931. - I could not have done that two and half, three weeks ago.

932. If you would have put me on this island and I seen that

933. boa, I would have done my absolute

934. most to stay away from it.

935. But I'm hungry now and my mind is not the same mind

936. as it was three weeks ago.

937. - The fire's all toasty and ready for it.

938. - Even the vegetarian in the group Jamie

939. is relieved for Georgina.

940. - I love it, it's brilliant.

941. - They are big legs on that thing aren't they?

942. - We're getting a lot of meat tonight.

943. - The women will now have to

944. butcher, skin, and carve their kill.

945. - It's not pleasant, dead pig smells.

946. Inside, I'm like I'm gonna be sick.

947. But we've got to do it to survive.

948. - Oh dear.

949. A little bit of shit came out (laughs).

950. - I'm starving, are you?

951. - The pig will provide the women with

952. roughly 50,000 calories.

953. - Some fat, if anyone wants some fat.

954. - For the first time,

955. they have more food than they can possibly eat

956. in one sitting.

957. - How is it George?

958. - We have not eaten like this for like over three weeks

959. and my god it's been a long time for me.

960. Could you buy that in a restaurant that fresh?

961. That's a rib.

962. Just literally get the meat in my mouth now

963. and don't take it away.

964. - Mmmmm.

965. - Harvey, I can see you eating that with your

966. eyes closed.

967. Are you having an orgasm while your eating it?

968. - You know what, I've never experienced this in my life.

969. I feel like a savage.

970. - I've had so little calories in me everyday and

971. this pig may be my salvation.

972. - You're gonna turn it around now.

973. This will help you.

974. I hope so. - I've been recused

975. by the pig hunters.

976. - (laughs) My mother would be appalled if she saw me

977. eating like this.

978. - Sorry mom.

979. - The pork's providing the women with a valuable source

980. of protein, fat, vitamins, minerals.

981. But more importantly it's giving them what I call

982. a golden window of opportunity.

983. The women have about three days to capitalize

984. on that win.

985. This is their chance to improve

986. their quality of life and use that energy

987. to regroup and hunt again.

988. - Hello Mr snake!

989. - Hello Mr snake.

990. - Oh look at that.

991. - Now for the second course.

992. - How you feeling hon, do you wanna do it?

993. - I'm gonna do it.

994. - All right, go for it.

995. - And despite her squeamishness,

996. Chavala has volunteered to skin the snake.

997. - Oh look at that!

998. It's his esophagus.

999. What it is, I love to stuff a turkey at Christmas.

1000. And it means you've got to get under the skin.

1001. - Ready, like a sock.

1002. One, ready there we go.

1003. - Wow.

1004. So yeah go very slow.

1005. Yeah got it.

1006. Amazing.

1007. I've just skinned a boa constrictor.

1008. I'd never do that in my real life.

1009. - Well done.

1010. Not many girls can do that you know.

1011. - Yeah.

1012. - Not many.

1013. And if anybody judges any of the girls here

1014. for what they've done today, they can fuck off.

1015. - I've been able to help everyone today

1016. and I'm really proud of that.

1017. - An incredible day, emotionally draining.

1018. But the end result is that we have food

1019. and we will be able to keep going for that bit longer.

1020. - Next time on the women's island.

1021. - That is the biggest yucca I've ever seen.

1022. - People are not prioritizing the water

1023. and its pissing me off.

1024. - The group is completely on their ass.

1025. - Julie!

1026. Julie!

1027. - I'm so weak.

1028. - We're gonna have to pull the plug on this

1029. and I've got to think about removing you all

1030. from the island.
