THE REASON I'M HERE IS, THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FIGHT.

Narrator: AS A VETERAN SURVIVALIST,

STEVEN ENTERS THE CHALLENGE WITH HIS SIGNATURE RESOLVE

AND SOLID SELF-TAUGHT SKILLS.

HE BEGINS WITH A PRIMITIVE SURVIVAL RATING OF 8.6.

This is going to be the most difficult

"Naked and Afraid" challenge yet,

hands down, without a doubt.

THIS CHALLENGE WILL BRING ME TO MY LIMIT, BUT I'M SO READY.

Narrator: LAURA HAS UNRIVALED SURVIVAL CREDENTIALS,

BUT HER INEXPERIENCE IN COLD TEMPERATURES

COULD HINDER HER CHANCES FOR SUCCESS IN ALASKA.

SHE BEGINS WITH A PSR OF 9.1.

I GUESS THIS IS HOME.

ALL RIGHT, ALASKA.

LET'S DO IT.

WHOO!

OOH. IT JUST GOT REAL.

I ALREADY FEEL MOTHER NATURE,

AND IT'S INTIMIDATING.

THAT'S A NEW FEELING, RIGHT THERE.

WHOO!

OH! OH, NO. OH, GOD.

THIS IS INSANE!

IT'S LIKE THE CONSISTENCY OF A SNOW CONE.

I GOT A CUT ON MY FOOT FROM A SHARP PIECE OF ICE.

I'M WARMING UP MY FEET EVERY FEW STEPS

BECAUSE I CAN'T FEEL MY FEET ANYMORE.

OTHERWISE, IF I TRY TO PUSH THROUGH THIS,

I'M GONNA GET FROSTBITE.

Narrator: IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32 DEGREES,

EXPOSED SKIN IS EXTREMELY VULNERABLE TO FROSTBITE.

IT OCCURS WHEN THE SKIN AND UNDERLYING TISSUE FREEZES.

BLOOD FLOW TO THOSE PARTS OF THE BODY CAN DROP

TO DANGEROUSLY LOW LEVELS, CAUSING PAIN AND NUMBNESS.

EVENTUALLY, THE TISSUE DIES

AND CAN LEAD TO THE LOSS OF FINGERS AND TOES.

HEY! IS THAT THE KING OF THE JUNGLE?

OH, MY GOD! LAURA!

YOUR CROTCH IS IN THE SNOW!

OH, MY GOD! ALREADY, RIGHT?

Laura: STEVEN'S DONE QUITE A FEW DIFFERENT CHALLENGES,

AND HE KNOWS HIS SKILLS. HE TRUSTS THEM.

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT HE'S GONNA BE MY PARTNER.

-LAURA! OH, MY GOD! -WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?

SWEETHEART, I'M HANGING OUT WITH YOU...

-OH, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. -...IN THIS FROZEN WASTELAND.

I GOT ONE OF THE MOST BADASS SURVIVALISTS AS A PARTNER

EVER TO TAKE ON "NAKED AND AFRAID" --

LAURA ZERRA.

AND I THINK OUT HERE, TOGETHER, WE'RE REALLY GONNA KILL IT.

-LET'S DO IT, BABE. ONE MORE. -YES!
