Rene Murad

In the first days of the challenge, the participants realize that nothing will come easy for them. The blisters on Gi's feet condition the good progress of the duo with Joedson; conflict between Sati and Rene breaks out.

Alana Barfield and Keith Busch attempt to survive on a Fijian island with minimal water and little food.

Competitors from across the globe battle for national pride and $200,000; seven elite pairs from Australia, Brazil, Mexico and the USA enter the Olympics of Survival; over 40 days in Africa's Zululand, teams must survive apex predators, and each other.

Conflicts erupt due to differences in personality or survival style. Unbalanced decision-making, tasks and workloads inflame tempers within tribes.

Contestants face the African savanna, divided into tribes racing to secure fire, water and shelter before nightfall; the environment brings freezing nights and scorching heat, while predators hunt in the shadows.

The cold sets in, hunger grows and risky hunts begin. Some grow weak, while others reap the rewards of persistence.
