There are deadly, poisonous snakes — and then there is the fer-de-lance.
On Sunday’s season finale of “Naked and Afraid, ” entitled “Pick Your Poison,” search and rescue expert Anthony and mother-of-four Suzänne are fending for themselves in the jungles of Brazil. Among them are swarming wasps, deadly anacondas, poisonous toads and venomous stingrays. And a “freakin’ pissed” fer-de-lance snake.
In the clip above, which is exclusive to TheWrap, the pair come across one of the deadliest reptiles known to man, and Anthony uses his survival experience to try to kill it before it can kill them. Oh, and so they can eat it. When he goes in to battle, Suzanne gives him this sage advice, “Do. Not. Get. Bit.”
For the uninitiated, here is how the series works: Over 21 days, two complete strangers are paired together and tasked to survive against the relentless elements of the wild. Hungry predators, volatile climates, and scarce food and water are just baseline challenges… and they’re in the buff.
“Naked and Afraid” is produced for Discovery Channel by Renegade 83; David Garfinkle, Jay Renfroe, Steve Rankin and Mathilde Bittner are executive producers. For Discovery, Joseph Boyle and Michael Gara are executive producers and Greg Wolf is coordinating producer.
Watch the clip above.
The “Naked and Afraid” season finale airs tonight, Sunday, at 9/8c on Discovery, and new episodes of “Naked and Afraid XL All-Stars” continue at 10/9 c.
