Jeff Zausch

Starting with no tools, the survivalists scramble to prep for a brutal storm and two competitors are at risk immediately; a cutthroat survivalist puts the others on notice.

Gary and Dan take on a swarm of killer bees to chase a big food win; fighting an injury, Matt is forced to adapt and chase small prey; Cheeny is on the brink; the challenge is upended as pairs are split, and new factions are formed.

As competitors rush to find cached items, Matt races to grab the bow before Jeff; a grueling migration features head-to-head tests of survival skills; a group forms to stop Jeff from finding more items; a survivalist plots to sabotage competitors.

Two bitter rivals go head-to-head in a multi-step water and bushcraft elimination; Steven uses his tracking skills and out-strategizes Jeff to secure a critical cache; Gary forages a huge protein score; one survivalist is eliminated.

Torrential rainstorms jeopardize the contestants' chance to remain in the competition; they must kindle a primitive campfire, pushing the survivalists past their breaking point; in a neck-and-neck battle, the winner is finally crowned.
