♪♪ Colin: Welcome to Survivalists, the adventure show where families face nature's most extreme challenges together.

I'm your host, Colin O'Brady.

♪♪ I'm a 10-time world record holder, bestselling author, and professional explorer.

Top of the world!

My passion for the outdoors helped me overcome the biggest challenges in my own life.

[tired sigh] And with the support of my family, I have learned that the impossible is possible.

And now each week, I will be using those life lessons to help mentor two families, each here with their own deeply personal reasons, as they push themselves physically... - [scream] Colin: ...mentally... - [emotionally] I can't do it.

[sob] Colin: ...and emotionally.

They'll go on a three-day adventure of a lifetime... Woman: Lets go, Survivalists!

- Yes, girls!

Colin: ...where they'll compete for a $10,000 cash prize.

[cheering] But their real reward comes when they begin to see loved ones in a new light, rebuild relationships, and find new strength as a family.

Woman 1: It's been amazing and I wouldn't change one second of it.

♪♪ Colin: This week, the Adams family from Kissimmee, Florida... Man 1: My biggest fear is we're not gonna get along.

Woman 1: Work together!

Man 1: Just don't fall.

Colin: ...will take on the Carach family from Bratt, Florida.

Man 2: I'm just excited to actually be a part of one of the cool adventures they go on.

Heck yeah, buddy!

Colin: Who will be the first to raise their family's flag... Woman 1: Let's go, let's go.

Colin: ...and be this week's Survivalists.

[bird calling] Family: Hi, we're the Adams family from Kissimmee, Florida!

Woman 1: We're outside because I don't have to keep the volume down on the boys.

They can be loud, they can be boisterous.

- How rude of you to say that.

Family 2: We are the Carach family... Woman 2: ...from Bratt, Florida.

What happened, y'all?

- Y'all are my kids.

Ain't none of us good on camera.

[laughing] Woman 2: Uh, we do work really well together as a family.

Man 2: No matter what challenge gets put in front of us, I think we're gonna be up for it.

♪♪ - Families, welcome to Survivalists!

[cheering] Well I've got a great adventure in store for you guys.

But before we get into all this, I wanna take a chance to get to know each other.

What do I need to know about the Carach family, Sheena?

- We live on a small little farm in Bratt, Florida.

So, you know, this is a total change for us.

We're super excited.

Really looking forward to accomplishing this as a family.

- What does being out here mean to you?

- With the hours I work, I don't get to come home much, so gettin' to take time off just to have a lotta family time for all of us to bond and get to know each other, it's gonna be good for all of us.

I work on the road, so the hardest part about that is most of the time, my kids grow up and I don't even get to see it.

You know, it's-- it's through Facebook and pictures and phone calls.

- We see him maybe once a month, every two months.

Sheena: But most of the time when he's been home, he's very busy with projects.

He cut up trees, there's grass that needs to be cut.

He fixes our damaged roof.

You know, he's been home to do the things that we need done around there that I can't do myself.

So to, you know, just being in that moment with each other.

- Naudia, for you, what does it mean to have your dad out here with you guys?

Naudia: It means a lot 'cause I see the relationship that other daughters have with their fathers and I've always wanted it, but I don't have it.

It's hard not having him around all the time.

I kinda feel like he's missing out on my life because it's my senior year, so I just kinda wish I had more time with him.

- As the mother of this bunch, I imagine with Jake being on the road a lot, a lot of the home front falls on your shoulders taking care of these three kids when he is away.

- So at home, I am, like, Mom, Dad.

I run everything like it's a single parent household, so for me, it's really exciting to have him here and kinda just stepping back and letting him take the lead with it and lettin' him be in charge for a little bit.

I'm pretty excited about him being able to be involved with them on a level that he doesn't normally get to be.

- Sheena, can you tell me about the Carach family flag?

- Yeah, so our flag basically represents our love for the outdoors.

We love spending time together fishing whenever he is home.

And then the highway that's on it just is the division basically of Jake being on the road working all the time.

Colin: All right, well, Carach family, welcome to Survivalists.

So excited to have you here.

Adams family, welcome!

First things first, triplet boys.

I wanna know, who's the oldest of this crew?

- I'm Hunter, I'm the oldest.

He's Hayden.

We share the same minute.

He's Hendrick and he's a minute behind.

- I'm also sleepy.

Colin: Fair enough.

Do you have a different bond with each one of your brothers?

You guys kinda pair off from time to time?

- Actually, we might all be individual 'cause we all have our own opinions.

- None of us are close.

We all want to do our own different things.

Hunter: We're really competitive though with each other alone, so we need to, like, get that together.

Woman 1: Who can do it the best, the fastest, and they all want to win.

- But we all know one thing: I'm the best.

- [laughing] - Working together is crucial out here.

That is definitely the difference between success and failure so it's great that you've identified that.

- We're going to take a step back on this, and we're gonna let them three work together to lead us.

It's gonna be up to them to rise to the challenge.

This whole experience is about them three bonding together and not worry about competing against each other.

Woman 1: Back home, when they don't agree on what happens, each go to their rooms and that's the end of it.

Out here, they're gonna have to figure it out, work together.

- I'd love to hear about the Adams family flag.

April: The two bigger palm trees represent me and my husband and the three smaller represent the boys.

And then we have the beach and the sun because we love the water.

Colin: Love it.

This expedition is going to test you.

You'll set out on a 3-day, 11-mile journey through the windswept high desert.

Day One, you'll travel three miles passing through the via ferrata, where you'll face a series of mountaineering obstacles before racing to your camp for the night.

Day Two, you'll walk five miles across the cold and rocky backcountry.

You'll pass arches and spires as you make your way to camp.

Day Three, you'll cross three miles of deadly terrain-- crawling up mountains, racing along ridges-- as you make your way to the finish line, where the first family to raise their flag wins.

So you guys want to know what we're playing for?

All: Yeah.

Colin: At the finish line, I will have these two backpacks, and inside, I've got $10,000 cash.

[cheering] Sheena: Together, we'll just push each other and keep each other goin' and, you know, we're in it to win it, so we'll see what happens!

- Before sending you out on this multi-day expedition, I'm gonna give you an opportunity to shop in our General Store for crucial gear and supplies that you're gonna need out there.

But you only have 90 seconds inside to find everything that you need.

However, to gain even more time, I've set up a series of survival competitions.

Each challenge you win, you'll earn an additional 30 seconds to your clock.

The first survival challenge we have up is the Shelter Challenge.

[chattering] ♪♪ Families, welcome to the Shelter Challenge.

[cheering] [muffled clapping] Out here, it is cold at night, so being able to set up a shelter is gonna be important.

The way this challenge is gonna work is two members from each family are gonna race to build a shelter as fast as possible.

Whoever can set that up the fastest will win this challenge and 30 extra seconds for your family in the General Store.

For the Adams family, who's it gonna be?

- Me and Hayden.

Colin: Carach family?

- It's gonna be Naudia and Dad.

- Competin' with my family, we really haven't had a chance for all of us to compete together.

I mean, this is kinda like the first time as one whole family.

I'm lookin' forward to see how this is gonna end.

I think we're gonna win, though.

- Three, two, one, go!

[all shouting encouragements] April: Start threadin' it through, right here.

Right here.

Hayden: I was just trying to get it done.

April: Look, this way, buddy.

Hunter: Hayden!

Go, Hayden, go!

- I was just hearing my brothers screaming at us.

- Hayden doesn't know what to do.

April: What?

No, no, no, you gotta tip it.

Brian: It's okay, it's okay.

He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.

Hayden: Yeah.

Naudia: Dad, where does it go?

Jake: I don't even know where it slides in.

Sheena: Naudia, she's really been strugglin' with Jake being gone.

Like recently she made homecoming court, and Zackary escorted her out instead of her dad bein' there to escort her out.

Jake: Hammer 'em down, I got it.

Naudia: Dad, hand me one more.

They're right beside you.

- You know, I think she just feels like he's missing out on a lot of lasts that she's getting to do and experience.

Hunter: Hayden, it's dirt!

It goes through!

Bang it!

Hayden: No, it's not!

Hunter: Hurry, hurry!

Colin: It is really anyone's game at this point.

Sheena: Get in, get in, get in!

Jake, go, go, go!

- Hurry, hurry!

Colin: They're both getting in the tent at the same time!

All right, I've got to test it.

Let me look here.

♪♪ Both are missing the Velcro to secure the fly.

Sheena: Go, go, go, go, Jake, go, go, go!

Jake: You got it, Naudia?

Naudia: I don't know.

Jake: Velcro right here, right here, look.

Colin: Who is it gonna be?

♪♪ Adams family, you are the winners!

You are the winners.

Wow, that was so close!

April: What!

Colin: Congratulations!

Hayden: That felt good.

We got 30 seconds.

Amazing, we needed that.

- Great job to both families in the Shelter Challenge.

Next up, we have the Animal Tracks Challenge.

All right?

[chattering] ♪♪ Families, welcome to the Animal Tracks Challenge.

Hendrick: Let's go!

Sheena: I'm excited!

Colin: Knowing what predators or prey are around is very important to surviving in the wild.

You might be tracking your next meal, or you might be trying to avoid a significant predator.

That's what we're gonna test here in the Animal Tracks challenge.

I have pictures of animals right here.

When I raise the picture of the animal, you're gonna try to match it as quickly as you possibly can to the tracks in front of you.

If you match that first, you get a point.

First family to win 3 points wins this challenge and 30 extra seconds' time for their family in the General Store.

Time to come on up.

Let's get this challenge under way!

Zack: All right.

We live out on a farm.

So headin' into this challenge, I feel pretty confident because of how many animals I've been around.

Colin: On my go.

The first animal is...deer.

Sheena: Come on, Zack, come on, Zack, come on, Zack.

Colin: The deer, who's got it?

Hunter: I'm sizing up Zack.

I'm trying to see how fast his hands are so I can pull up my tracks faster than he's pulling up his.

Hendrick: You got it.

Colin: Looking through it.

Zack's got it!

- Woo!

Colin: Well done, that was close.

The next animal is... the wolf.

[overlapping encouragements] - Ooh.

Sheena: You got it.

- Oh, that was so close, but I saw Hunter first!

- Good job!

Hunter: I know I have fast hands.

I just need to make sure I'm faster than him.

April: Come on, Hunter.

- We've got the hawk.

Whoa!

Hunter got that one first.

He's got the fast hands.

Hayden: Nice!

Hunter: I think it definitely helped me goin' up there by myself so I was only concerned about myself and nobody else.

Colin: Ready, go!

Raccoon!

Sheena: Get it, get it!

Colin: Zack, you got it!

Wow!

We are in the fifth and final round.

This is for all the marbles.

The final animal track to match is... the rabbit.

Zack has got it.

He got the rabbit!

Come from behind victory, Zack.

Congratulations, Carach family!

Zack, I guess knowing all those animals from your farm back home helped you out.

You won the Animal Tracks challenge.

Now it's time to move on to the Food Challenge.

[cheering] All right?

♪♪ April: [laughing] Colin: Check out this tasty buffet here.

Have a nice look at that.

Hope you brought your appetites.

Sheena: Yeah!

Jake: Glad I already did my challenge.

Zack: Yeah, me too.

- All right, families!

Welcome to the Food Challenge!

I see some, uh, some nervous looks over there.

Jake: [chuckling] Colin: The way it's gonna work is two members of the family will come up here.

One will be choosing the plate of food.

The other will have to eat that plate of food.

You wanna choose edible plates of food.

As long as you keep doing that, you'll make it to the next round until one family picks a poisonous food, and I'll have to stop you at that point.

All right, well, without further ado, come on up!

It's time to play the Food Challenge!

Brian: Hendrick and I usually have good communication together.

He trusts in my judgement, I'll trust his judgement.

- Three, two, one, go!

Sheena: Go, go, go, go!

April: All right, Hendrick.

Hendrick: Take that.

[laughing] Colin: All right!

- All right.

Colin: Lets go to Brian first.

Brian, what do you think you've got in front of you there?

- I wanna say rabbit.

Colin: That is a rabbit indeed, my friend.

Have a bite if you wanna take it to the next round!

Hendrick: Awww.

Colin: [laughing] Your son can't even look!

Hayden: [laughing] Colin: Well done.

Tyler, wow!

First pick on the whole table?

Uh, Sheena, how're you feeling about what's in front of you?

- Well, it smells pretty bad.

You know, I think it's a heart.

We'll give it a try.

- You think it's edible?

- Uh, I think so.

Colin: All right, raise it slowly to your mouth.

- Little bloody.

Colin: Yes, that is a Venison heart.

Have a bite to make it to the next round.

Adams boys: Ew!

Colin: Oh, it's juicing out and everything!

Sheena: Yep!

[chuckle] Heart is definitely not somethin' that will be on my menu in the future.

Colin: Congratulations.

Both of you adventurously made it to the next round of the challenge.

See what they're gonna grab here.

♪♪ Hunter: Just take a bug; he'll swallow it.

Take a bug!

Colin: Lot of calls for the bugs!

♪♪ - You guys are rude.

I'm happy it was him instead of my brothers because my brothers would have picked the bugs.

- We're gonna start with Tyler.

What do you think your mom grabbed for you?

- Some kind of beetle.

When I look at the beetle, it's disturbing because I don't like bugs.

Colin: Do you think it's edible?

- Probably.

Which I'm not excited about.

Sheena: [laughing] - That is indeed a rhino beetle.

Tyler, if you wanna make it to the next round, you gotta put that thing in your mouth, man!

Sheena: You can do it.

You've got this, come on.

Just put it in there, chew it up really quickly, and swallow it.

Naudia: Tyler, eat the bug!

Jake: Come on, Ty.

- Put half of it in your mouth, take a bite.

Jake: Eat the whole thing, come on.

Zack: You got it.

Sheena: Just take a bite, take a bite!

[crunch] There you go, chew it, chew it, chew it!

Jake: You've got it, you got it.

Naudia: Swallow it!

Sheena: Swallow it down.

Hendrick: I give props to him for eating the beetle.

I would've never done that.

Colin: You got it done; you advance to the next round for your team.

Well done.

Hendrick, what do you think you've got over there?

- Sunflower seeds.

- Those are pumpkin seeds.

Edible.

You can eat 'em to get to the next round.

♪♪ Colin: Couple leafy green, leafy greens.

Brian, uh, you a little nervous looking at that?

- Just a little bit.

Colin: What do you think it is?

Brian: Some sort of cactus.

Colin: It is a cactus indeed.

I'll let you know if it's poisonous or not.

That's a choya cactus, edible.

Go ahead and eat it.

Hendrick: I feel happy because I don't have to eat any more things.

I really didn't want to.

- It's been a back and forth battle for both families.

But now it's time to go shop in the General Store, let's go!

Brian: Let's go.

Jake: Let's go.

♪♪ Colin: Families, welcome to the General Store.

[cheering] You guys are about to embark on an epic adventure and I wanna give you some time to shop for crucial gear and supplies that you're gonna need to survive this three-day challenge.

Now you each only started with 90 seconds, however, based on how you performed the challenges, you have earned your family some additional time.

Adams, because you guys won the Shelter and the Food Challenge, you have 60 seconds additional time, and Carach family, because you won the Animal Tracks, you have 30 seconds additional time in the General Store.

This is a harsh environment where temperatures can quickly drop below freezing and so you need to be prepared to survive.

So I've made this list of essential items.

On the list is sleeping bags, sleeping pads for necessary insulation, a tent, water filtration system, flint & steel, and a GPS.

If you forget any of these items, I'm gonna have to give you a 30-minute time penalty.

Brian: We can't have a 30-minute, guys.

Colin: Also, shop carefully.

Everything you put in this trough you have to take with you on the entire expedition.

All right, Adams, you guys are on my first go.

Three, two, one, go!

The Adams family's off first!

Hayden: Sleeping bag!

Hunter: Where's the sleeping bag?

Hendrick: Where?

Brian: Our biggest issue is the boys not working together as a team.

Hayden: Where's the pad?

Where's the pad?

I need a pad.

- And if we can overcome that and we pull together as a team... Hayden: Move!

Brian: ...I think we'll blow the competition.

Colin: Okay, three, two, one, go!

Carach family in there!

Sheena: Go, go, go, go!

April: Sleeping pad, right here, sleeping pad!

Brian: I got it!

Zack: There was only one sleeping pad.

I don't know what the rest of these things are.

Sheena: Go find them, go find them.

Zack: I'm enjoying the whole working as a team thing.

With our dad being gone, we don't really get to be a team most of the time.

There's usually two groups: a group of four and a group of one.

Sheena: Jake, did you get the GPS?

Jake: I ain't even seen it yet.

Hunter: Go, go, go, go, go!

April: Does everybody have a sleeping pad?

Brian: I got a tent!

Hunter: I got it, I got it!

Do you have a backpack?

Sheena: No!

Hunter: Go ask, hurry!

I got it!

I got the water; I got the water filtration.

- Four seconds!

Three seconds, two seconds, one second, stop!

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Time is up!

Let's make sure first you have the essential items; that's the most important thing.

So, I need to see five sleeping bags.

Sheena: All right, we got one... Colin: Yeah, there's five.

One, two, three, four, five, five sleeping bags.

Now, sleeping pads.

Five, very good!

Here's a tent right here.

Sheena: I got two tents.

- Water filtration system.

Flint & steel.

The last thing we need to see is a GPS so you guys don't get lost out there.

Sheena: There it is!

Colin: GPS!

Carach family, well done.

You got all the essential items, no time penalty, so.

Sheena: Awesome!

Colin: Let's see how the Adams' did.

Brian: I have confidence my family got everything, but in the back of my head, I'm a little nervous that we didn't.

- First up, we need five sleeping bags.

One, two, three, four, five.

Sleeping pads.

I see five.

One tent.

Water filtration system.

You got the flint & steel.

And last but not least, GPS.

Adams family, you got all the essential items.

There is no time penalty, which means you guys will be starting on the start line together tomorrow.

My advice.

Pack your stuff up right now, get a very good night's sleep, and I'll meet you at the trailhead at sunrise, all right?

All: All right.

Colin: See you bright and early.

[wind blowing] ♪♪ Brian: Ever since the boys could walk, everything has been a competition.

Out here, it's no longer about individually.

We have to work together as a team.

If we can do that, we're gonna accomplish so much.

♪♪ Jake: I'd love to be home more, but it just doesn't work for us.

I do miss being around 'em; I wish I could do more.

[cheering] This is Day One.

The Adams' and the Carach's will travel 3 of their 11-and-a-half mile journey, making their way to the via ferrata, where they must accomplish mountaineering feats before heading to camp for the night.

♪♪ How you guys feelin'?

- It's definitely different than Florida.

Jake: Looks steeper.

[laughing] Sheena: I'm most looking forward to not having any projects here that we have to do, having that whole family time together where everybody can just focus on each other and make memories that they're never gonna forget.

- Brian, do you think your boys are gonna be able to, uh, stick together, work as a team?

- I think they're gonna stick together and pull out the win for us.

- Their personalities are very different, but they are all very competitive.

- Our goal would be to work together as a team.

- Here I have canisters.

Inside the canisters, you have coordinates to your GPS.

You put that in and you follow those coordinates to your first checkpoint.

The family that arrives first at the final checkpoint wins this challenge and the $10,000 cash prize.

Three, two, one, go!

- Welcome to Survivalists, find the fin-- - --and let this race begin.

Colin: They're off.

There they go!

Good luck, you guys!

See you at the finish line!

To reach the first checkpoint, the families will face several hundred feet of elevation gain across slickrock and brush-filled hills over the next mile.

April: Boys, y'all are taking off too fast!

Hayden: The strategy is don't stop.

- Keep a good pace so we're gaining time and not losing it.

Where's Mom?

April: Ah!

Out of breath.

For me, I think the pace is fast.

And it's kind of hard for me to keep up.

Jake: I'm feelin' the cold, I can tell you that.

Naudia: I'm really excited to be here with my family because I feel like it's a good opportunity for us to all bond and spend time together.

Jake: What's that GPS say, Naudy?

Naudia: It says keep goin'.

Jake: Good job, Zack, good job.

Brian: Don't go too far ahead!

Hunter: We're too slow right now!

Brian: It's okay!

Are we on the right coordinate?

Hayden: Yes!

Hunter: But he has lines on the map.

Hunter: Go, go, go!

Hayden: Grab the clue!

Naudia: Here it is, here it is!

Get it, get it.

- Mind your safety and follow the highway of iron.

Hayden and Hendrick: We're going up.

Colin: The families are now faced with a series of mountaineering obstacles.

The first is a nearly 500-foot vertical climb.

Each family will scale the jagged cliff face in their attempt to be the first to advance.

April: Come on!

Hook in.

Hendrick: Are we gonna use these red things out here?

April: Yep, that's what they're there for.

Brian: There you go, good job, good job.

Nope, you aren't.

Oh, gosh!

[cry laughing] Jake: Yeah, I'd stay, like, just like straddle both-- two of 'em.

Now clip off.

Sheena: There you go, buddy.

Jake: Now hold it.

Hold that right here, yeah there you go.

Yeah, now run.

Or scoot.

I scooched.

Tyler: Ow.

Jake: Good job, Tyler.

[chuckling] Tyler: That's so hard to do.

Zack: What I think Dad's missing out on is who we are as people.

Jake: You're almost there, Tyler.

- This time being with us-- he'll really get to learn, like, who we are, who we're becoming... Jake: Was that fun?

Zack: ...how we're different than we used to be... Sheena: Run across the wall!

Woo!

Jake: There you go, Zack!

Sheena: Let's go, Zack!

It's in this area.

Everybody look around!

Hendrick: Tree, the tree, the tree.

April: Now you're untethered, race for the treasure.

Make the final push to camp to rest your weary heads.

Colin: Out of the via ferrata, the families will now trade their harnesses for the trail as they make the final mile-long push to camp.

Brian: Good job, yeah.

Follow the trail.

Jake: Go underneath.

Sheena: Go underneath.

Yep, just go.

Woo!

Okay, it wasn't bad.

Zack: I'm not gonna spin myself out there.

I'll do what I have to do!

It's not necessarily I want to do it, not necessarily that I enjoy it, it's just that I gotta do it.

Sheena: Woo, yeah!

Jake: There you go!

There you go, buddy!

Brian: Hunter, this way, this way!

Hunter: You sure?

Brian: Yes, positive!

Tyler: [panicked breathing] Jake: You ready to get it over with?

Ready?

Use the anger.

Use the fierce.

Tyler: [panicked breathing] Jake: Whatcha want to do?

You ready?

Tyler, he knew-- I kinda knew what he was going through while he was standin' up there.

You did so good on all this other stuff.

So good.

I've done that before when I was little.

You know, everybody wanted to ride rollercoasters, and I was too scared to do it.

Tyler: Can my dad hold on to me?

Jake: Yeah, I'll hold your hand.

Tyler: [panicked breathing] Jake: There you go, buddy.

There you go.

There you go!

Three, two, one, go!

You had it, man, you had it.

Hold with that hand and hold-- let me hold with this hand.

Colin: The Carachs need to regroup before they can move on and, if Tyler can't make this short plunge, will have to take a long walk and fall even further behind the advancing Adams'.

Brian: Turn left a tad bit.

Keep goin'.

Hunter: Hey, watch out.

Hey!

Brian: Can you make it up that?

Hendrick: Just go around, just go around.

Hayden: There's no point in going around.

I can make that!

Hunter: No, Dad and Mom can't.

That's the problem.

Hayden: Come on, man.

We gotta hurry then!

Tyler: [panicked breathing] [cough] Jake: What do you wanna do, buddy?

Come on, you gotta tell 'em yes or no.

Zack: Tyler, come on, man!

Tyler: [panicked breathing] Jake: All right, I'm gonna say you're saying no.

I wasn't gonna force him 'cause as upset as he looked, I knew he didn't want to do it.

I knew it even broke his heart even more knowing that he wasn't gonna do it and the rest of the family ended up making it.

Zack: Let's go, guys.

Colin: Since Tyler failed to rappel, the rest of his family is forced to make the hard climb back up to rejoin him... - Give me a hug.

Colin: ...widening the Adams' lead.

Brian: Let's find the easiest way up here, guys.

It's a little steep.

Hunter: That's the easiest way!

Brian: A little vertical.

Hunter: Unless you want to waste more time going all the way around.

Brian: Hand me your hand.

Hendrick: Come on, Mom!

April: We're hurrying, bud.

Hendrick: Not fast enough.

They're so far behind.

Colin: [on video] Congratulations.

If you're watching this, you're the first to arrive to camp.

As a reward, I've prepared some hot cocoa for you to enjoy, so warm up, get some good rest, and get ready for tomorrow.

Uh, things I've learned about my kids on this trip is, uh, the venturous mountain climbing is not their cup of tea.

Naudia: [breathlessly] We made it.

- I don't think they really enjoyed any of that.

All right, let's go set up camp.

Sheena: Let's go set up camp.

Colin: The families rallied and made it safely through the mountaineering course.

But the Carachs now find themselves 36 minutes behind.

Jake: I don't think we're gonna have much rock climbing in our future.

Sheena: All right, you guys got this?

Jake: Yeah, we got it.

Sheena: I'll do the poles.

Naudia: Me and Dad have got this part.

Jake: But they sucked it up and dealt with it even though I knew they didn't want to do it.

Sheena: Y'all figured this tent thing out now, huh.

Naudia: Yeah.

Jake: I knew it was a lot for 'em to do.

Zack: Isn't there a door on the other side?

Jake: But they pulled through and they got most of 'em done.

Sheena: It's unhooked over here, guys.

Tyler: Dad.

Sheena: [laughing] Jake: It was cool to see 'em overcome what they did do.

I'd hate for them to think that we can just quit, you know.

They're going to have to finish.

All right, let's get our fire built, something to eat, and let's go to sleep.

All: All right.

Sheena: That's the best plan.

[chuckling] [crackling] April: So is anybody tired, ready for bed?

Hayden: Ah, ah, yeah.

April: Yeah.

- Was it a long day for everybody?

Hendrick: Yeah.

Brian: You know, our strategy today... Hunter: ...didn't go well.

- Yeah, our strategy kinda fell apart.

Hendrick: Because what we were doing.

April: Yeah, you gotta be willin' to slow down just a little bit.

Brian: So our strategy for tomorrow is you three continue to lead the pack.

But find that pace that's comfortable for Mom and I. April: All right.

It's time for bed.

Brian: It's time for bed, guys.

Let's get ready for tomorrow.

[crackling] [wind blowing] [birds chirping] Colin: The cold desert morning signals another day of competition.

But for the Adams triplets, the rivalry is burning hotter than ever.

Hayden: Maybe you could pull that back to reconnect it.

Hunter: And you undid it again!

How many times have I put that thing back?

April: You have to work together.

If you work together, it will get done faster.

- Hayden, could you be helpful, please?

April: We're a little feisty this morning with each other.

It got really cold last night.

I don't think anybody got good sleep.

Relax.

Let's not fall apart packing up camp.

But we're gonna finish the day out strong.

Brian: Let's go, guys.

Hayden: Come on.

Colin: The Carach family, although 36 minutes behind, welcomes another day of having their dad by their side.

Jake: I love you, little crumb-snatchers.

Naudia: [laughing] - You looking forward to heading out there today?

Zack: Yes, I'm so ready.

- Seeing what we can accomplish?

Jake: I think today I can maybe pep 'em up a little bit, get 'em to start walkin' a little faster and hopefully we can gain a little time in the end.

Sheena: Let's get goin'.

Go ahead, Ty.

You can lead us today.

Tyler: Oh.

April: Are we ready for Day Two?

Hunter: Welcome to Day Two.

Today won't be easy, but winning rarely is.

Colin: This is Day Two.

The families will travel five miles of unruly backcountry, climbing over 1,000 feet, going over rocky terrain and through a massive arch before making their way to camp.

Brian: Let's walk up here 'cause I don't know if that's a ledge over there.

Let's climb up.

Hunter: Yeah, it is, you gotta climb up.

Follow me.

April: I'm following you, Hunter.

Find the best path.

Sheena: Come on, guys.

There's the clue.

Welcome to Day Two.

Jake: I'm excited to see what this day's got ahead of us.

Y'all doing good?

Naudia: I think we go that way.

Jake: Comin', Zack?

The thing I'm most excited about is just spending time with the family and being on this great adventure.

Are we there yet?

Sheena: [chuckle] Not quite.

Brian: Hey, look, is there a trail down here and to the right anywhere?

Hunter: No there's not, so I'd follow me.

Brian: Okay.

We're following you, buddy.

Hunter: Can I have the GPS?

I'm in the front.

Brian: Hunter, he is the most competitive out of the three.

If we're not keeping up with him, he'll let us know.

Hunter: My life would be so much easier if you just gave me the GPS already.

Brian: No, 'cause you'll take it ahead of us.

But he's gotta learn that we are a team.

Hunter: Let me see the GPS.

Brian: It's over here, come on!

It's definitely something we want to work on.

It's up here, it's up here, it's up here!

Go, go, go, in the tree!

April: Oh, I see it!

Hunter: Open it.

Look for the window through the mountain.

Brian: Window through the mountain, let's go.

April: Let's go!

Colin: The families must now travel four miles, up and over the rising rock formations and through the thick arch.

Brian: Hunter, you find the easiest trail for us.

Hunter: Can y'all try to pick up the pace just a tad bit?

April: We're trying, bud.

We're trying.

Naudia: Let's move...that way.

Sheena: What's it look like, guys?

Jake: Keep going this way.

Come on, Zack.

It's right here.

Zack: [groan] Sheena: Read it, read it, read it!

Naudia: It says, look for the window through the mountain.

Jake: Let's go.

Sheena: All right, let's go guys.

April: No, I don't wanna go straight up.

He's climbing straight up.

April: We need to stay together.

Hendrick, to the right.

Brian, he needs to go to the right.

Hendrick: Yes, I'm goin-- Go!

Don't just wait and try to tell us what to do.

We're fine!

Brian: We're waiting for you!

You're taking a hard path!

The boys are still, you know, at a fast pace.

Um, I don't think he's quite getting that we can't run at their pace.

Hunter: No, let me make the path.

Hayden: Hunter, just let them go this way!

Hunter: Sure, y'all can follow him.

Have fun.

We can't climb those rocks like you.

Hunter: Those aren't even rocks!

Jake: All right?

- [steady breathing] He's not there a lot, so he doesn't get to see when things like that happen, so I think it was a little bit nerve-wracking for him.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Jake: I'm a little bit nervous going up this hill.

Sheena: There you go, guys!

Go, Daddy!

Woo!

- But, you know, if he's gonna do it, I'm gonna do it with him, and we're gonna hurry up and just get what we gotta get.

[grunt] Tyler: Grab right there.

Jake: I just need something to put my hand on.

Oh, I just broke a rock.

[clattering] [heavy breathing] - I'm pretty happy I won that game.

What about you?

- Yeah.

Jake: Come on.

April: Last big push to the end.

Brian: Last big push, guys.

Everybody's doing awesome.

We gotta find our easiest way down.

- Mmm, easier way's right there.

Watch out 'cause some of these rocks are not really s-- April: Yeah, they move.

Brian: Following you, buddy.

Following you.

[intense music] Jake: Need a hand, Ty.

♪♪ Tyler: Get down low.

Jake: [groan] Tyler: I can't.

Jake: I didn't think I was gonna make it.

But we kept pushin' each other along.

And jump!

[grunting] [breathlessly] There we go.

Thanks, buddy.

I think he psyched himself out on that bridge, but he redeemed himself today climbing up that mountain.

I'm super proud of him today.

Zack: Nice!

Naudia: Woo!

Sheena: Good job!

Tyler: Being on that rock struggling, having my dad beside me helping, it was fun because I never get to spend time with him.

- Hard part's done, hard part's done!

Good job, buddy!

Jake: You got it, come on.

Brian: Whoa, those are some big drop-offs, guys.

Hunter: Dad, where is the GPS taking us?

Brian: All over the place.

You wanna take it?

- Yeah.

- Okay, it's on you.

Following you.

♪♪ - Found an easy way up.

Take the way I just took up and I'm gonna wait here for you.

Brian: Okay, thank you for finding that for us.

Hunter: Easiest way up's right here.

- You know, from Day One to now, it's totally different, um, in the way they're acting.

They're doing awesome.

- I see it!

Brian: You see it?

April: Awesome, go!

Good eye!

Brian: How did you even see that?

Hunter: A bridge to cross, but one wrong step, and you'll be lost.

- Go!

That way.

Hayden: If we didn't see it that way, we would have been looking for years.

April: Good eye, Hayden.

Colin: To reach the next checkpoint, families must hike a mile and then carefully cross over the top of a treacherous arch that bridges the mammoth recess below.

Sheena: I don't know why my lungs hurt so bad, Jake.

Jake: It's all that cold air you're breathing in.

Sheena: Hooh.

Naudia: You can fall apart tomorrow.

Just make it through today.

Sheena: Right.

I'm just so proud of all the kids.

We have had the most incredible time.

I mean, it has been challenging, it has been hard, it has been insane at some points.

But we have all worked together really well as a team, gettin' each other through it.

Good job, good job.

Good teamwork, good teamwork.

Tyler: I see it.

Sheena: You see it?

Get to it, get to it.

Naudia: Where is it?

Sheena: He's got it; he's got it in his hand.

Tyler: A bridge to cross, but one wrong step and you'll be lost.

Sheena: Let's go.

Tyler: That's kinda ominous.

Naudia: Wait, does that mean, like, one wrong step and you die, or like-- ♪♪ April: Oh, my goodness.

♪♪ Brian: We were way over there.

Look at all that scenery.

April: Whoa.

That is so awesome.

♪♪ Jake: One foot in front of another.

That's all we can ask for.

That bridge we gotta walk across?

Sheena: Oh no, one wrong step.

Jake: Which way we going, Naudia?

Naudia: Up.

Sheena: Up, up, and away!

Hunter: Oh, I see it.

Brian: Bring it down, bring it down!

- You've been amazing, now finish this crazy thing.

- Woohoo!

Let's go!

Colin: The families must continue to follow the canyon as they make the quarter-mile dash to the finish line.

Sheena: All right, remember what that clue said.

One wrong step... Tyler: ...and you'll be lost.

Sheena: You guys have got this, okay, stay in the middle.

Tyler: Go on, Zack, it's okay.

I'm right behind you, Zack.

Sheena: 'Kay, it's beautiful.

You don't see stuff like this every day, do you?

♪♪ Jake: This is amazing.

Man, look at that.

Sheena: Wow.

Jake: Back home, we never get to see nothing like this.

It almost seems unreal.

Sheena: Look at that formation.

It's just almost unnatural.

Jake: Pretty cool right here.

Sheena: It's gorgeous, never in our life have we seen stuff like this.

Jake: Nuh-uh.

- And with a view like that, I mean.

To me, that's already winning.

Getting to be here with my family, spend time with them, it's been amazing and I wouldn't change one second of it.

Brian: Hi, Colin!

♪♪ - Adams family, come on in, come on in!

Great job!

You have made it to the finish line area.

But if you guys want to win Survivalists, you need to assemble your flagpole and raise your flag.

Hayden: I didn't realize we had to put the flag up and I had no idea how to do that.

Colin: You guys got this far by figuring out how to work together.

One last puzzle as a team.

Sheena: We're almost there, guys!

Brian: Next piece.

April: No, that one's gonna slide all the way down.

For a minute, everything fell apart when we realized we had to put the flag together.

Sheena: Let's go, let's go!

April: Work together!

Hendrick: What's this part?

Brian and April: Work together!

- But again, we came together... Brian: There you go.

April: There we go.

Colin: Getting close.

There we go!

April: ...we figured it out... Colin: Raising the flag up!

April: ...and we got the flag up.

Colin: Adams family, you are the winners of Survivalists!

[cheering] Congratulations!

Congratulations, you did it.

Brian: Good job!

Y'all did great, guys!

- Adams, victory!

How does it feel?

Brian: Feels awesome, awesome.

- How did you guys come together to kinda overcome those last obstacles there?

- One foot in front of another.

- There you go.

Working as a team.

No one left anybody behind.

- You know, it was rough.

There was times that we broke down.

But those three were able to stick through their challenges.

- It means we can all work as a team together and function as a team together and a family together.

Colin: Some of the challenges you were having out there, April, of just, kind of, people wanting to move at a different rate.

April: Absolutely.

They wanted to go a lot faster than Mom can move.

But, they were encouraging.

Colin: Well one of the things that I hope you guys take away from this.

Obviously you're here first; you got here successfully, even moving at your mother's pace.

We all face hard times in life.

That's a given.

And when one person kind of falls behind, it's not just leave 'em behind.

It's, hey, come on, come back in, we got you!

So hopefully that's part of the lessons that you've learned from this as well.

- I think a lot's gonna be brought home from this trip.

Hendrick: I feel really good about all the challenges, but getting to the finish line was also one of the greatest moments because we were able to work as a team and be able to decide on stuff.

- The rewards are priceless: coming together as a family.

But there is a prize after all at the finish line.

I see you guys know what's inside of here; you guys earned it: $10,000 cash!

[cheering] Open that up!

Open that up.

- I'm just super proud of what all five of us has accomplished out here in three days.

♪♪ Sheena: All right, guys, we're almost there.

Naudia, lead us home, lead us home!

Tyler: Let's go.

Sheena: Right now, we're trying to finish this last part of this journey.

You know, I'm super excited to make it there and cross the finish line just to know that we did this, and we accomplished this together as a family, and that, you know, we started as a team of five and we're finishing as a team of five.

Colin: Carach family, congratulations!

You have finished Survivalists!

[cheering] Well done!

Naudia and Sheena: We did it!

Colin: I know that it was a tough journey, some ups and downs, but uh, Jake, to be here with your kids, with your wife, what has that meant to you?

Jake: We didn't win the money, but you know, money ain't everything.

The time we spent together is, is worth more to me than anything.

- To do this in general is amazing.

But to do it with my whole family, have us all out here together, it was just absolutely incredible.

Naudia: Spending time with my dad here, showing us new things and getting us through the hard times, it's been amazing.

- We don't get a lot of time just to be with them as a whole family.

It seems so unreal that this has all went on these past three days.

We were completely unplugged for this entire trip: no phones, no distractions.

You know, he really got to step up; he really had our backs, all of our backs.

I mean, they don't get that much.

It's just been incredible taking off to come and do this with us and be here with us as a family.

- You guys set the intention on Day One saying hey, we don't always get to be together, all five of us in one place.

Here you are at the finish line together.

Jake: After, you know, having this trip, uh, one of the things I promise I'm gonna start doin', you know, when I do come home, you know, we'll just spend some quiet time just together not playing on phones or not working on the house, just us, you know.

- We'll definitely be back out here doing this again.

Colin: I love that.

It's a beautiful thing.

Congratulations.

You've completed Survivalists.

- Yeah, bring it in!

Bring it in!

There it is!

Sheena: 'Kay, take us down the mountain.

Colin: [laughing]
