1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,679 Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 2: Out of all the reality TV shows, you know what 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 2: I reckon, I could give a loan a bit of 4 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 2: a crack, o. 5 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 3: You. There's no way in the world. It takes a 6 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 3: very special person to survive on their own in the wilder. 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 2: Once again, I think I could give it a crack. 8 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: I went to Scouts. I know how to light a fire, 9 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: I know how to eat stuff. 10 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: Then you should talk to the people who were in 11 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 3: a lone Australia who went in thinking it would be that. 12 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: I've been a fan of this show for years and 13 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 3: I've watched the ones that are set in northern Alaska 14 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 3: and where they are extreme predators and extreme weather. So 15 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 3: you think, how hard can the Australian one be. Everyone's 16 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 3: scared of the bears in North America. Well here in 17 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,319 Speaker 3: the Australian alone series, the environment was the bear. It 18 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 3: gave them nothing. That's a completely different set of challenges. 19 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 3: They're in western Tasmania in a place called Littorytha, I think, 20 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 3: and it poured with rain and there was no food 21 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,319 Speaker 3: to be seen where the indigenous population are around there. 22 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 3: They move off at that time of year because even 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: the fish a dormant. 24 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: So this has all been dammed up as well, isn't 25 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 2: in the past. 26 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: That's right. So there's water everywhere, but there's dead trees 27 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: poking out of everything, and they can't even find earthworms 28 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 3: half the time to go. 29 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: Fishing to eat earthworms. 30 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 3: Well, someone while some of the contestants or the participants 31 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: actually ended up eating worms. One guy, Michael, who was 32 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 3: in the final tonight. There's three left in the final, Michael, Mike, 33 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 3: and Gina. Michael has been in for I don't know 34 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: how many days they're up to now. He's been there 35 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 3: for four weeks. He's eating nothing but grasses, seriously grasses. 36 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 3: He has eating no protein or no solid food at all. 37 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: And to watch how hard it is for them to 38 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: catch fish, to try and catch they call them the 39 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: paddymelon this small breed of wallaby. It's so hard. 40 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: There's no film crew. They have to film themselves out. 41 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: They've got little tripods. How do they learn to do 42 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: all this? 43 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 3: They have a week of boot camp where they learn 44 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 3: how to do all of that, the camera techniques and 45 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 3: that camera equipment's heavy and what we saw tonight, there's 46 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 3: the two final episodes and then after that is the 47 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 3: reunion on SBS on demand and you can watch it 48 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 3: again on SBS tomorrow night. But Michael when we last 49 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: saw him, had eaten nothing and had decided to do 50 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 3: a make or break run and change the position of 51 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 3: his camp. And you saw him lug that heavy camping 52 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: of the heavy camera equipment over this hideous terrain. And 53 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 3: they're at the point now thinking he's eaten nothing. He 54 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: can't afford to use calories without anything going in. But 55 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: he thought I've got to make a make or break. 56 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 3: You'll find out tonight did it make him or did 57 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: it break him? But some of the stories are extraordinary. 58 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: I mean, you've got Mike there, who is a X Army, 59 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 3: but he's a survivalist and he's like mcgiver. He's made 60 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 3: a canoe, he's made traps, he's made this and this. 61 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 2: His fishing rub was pretty good. 62 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, but everything, a lot of things seem to be 63 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: eluding him. He's like Wiley Coyote and the road runner 64 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: that Paddy Melon just a scared apes his trap every time. 65 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: Some of the stories that have come out from this 66 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: series have been incredible. Chris tapped out, I think what 67 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: day was he? He lasted twelve days. Chris was an 68 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 3: Iraq Warvette and he's a bulliant, funny, loud, cheerful guy 69 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 3: who thought that he could survive. He'd enjoy being out 70 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: on his own, but when you've got PTSD, as he does, 71 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 3: sometimes being alone isn't the best thing for you. And 72 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: his tent in Iraq was near a helipad. So we 73 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: see an extraordinary thing on this show where a surveying 74 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: helicopter goes overhead and it sets off a panic attack. 75 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: So we've got that chopper flying over and I thought 76 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: it was like super exciting and now just getting mad. 77 00:03:51,520 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: PTSD tree. PTSD is a such crazy panic attack. Jesus, Well, 78 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: that's what a PDSD panic attack looks like, if you 79 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: ever want to see one. Ah. 80 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: He said that none of his friends or anyone has 81 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: ever seen him have one of those, and it was 82 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: he decided that he would film himself having this. He'd 83 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: keep that they're told to keep the cameras rolling, they've 84 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 3: set their own cameras up. But he said, he said 85 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: such response from from the time that aired, just from 86 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: other he said, not just from war vets, from a 87 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 3: whole lot of people who have panic attacks. To share 88 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 3: what it's like, to give insight into what it's like. 89 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 3: What are the other incredible moments, and it's I cry 90 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: on TV tonight talking to Gina about what's happened to her. 91 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: There was one night. Gina is full of joy every 92 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: single day, but there's a there was a particular night 93 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: where this huge sadness came out. 94 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: Blaze's birthday, Happy birthday, Blazes as fire as your candle, 95 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: my little spark, my only cub. When I was thirty eight, 96 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: I discovered I was pregnant, and then four days later 97 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: I found out I had breast cancer. I was told 98 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: that I had to terminate the pregnancy or I die, 99 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: and I said, no, I will not this wild wolf. 100 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: Mamma insight just said no. Chemo babies are usually time. 101 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: When Blaze arrived, she was four and a half kilos. 102 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: Getting her here healthily and being in remission taught me 103 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: that I could trust that part of myself. And then 104 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: three years later Blaze got cancer. For any parent, the 105 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: most terrifying thing to think ever is that your child 106 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: can die. It's the biggest fear of a parent. It's like, 107 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: as long as they're breathing, you're afraid spent nine days 108 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: in the ICU, and then she died. 109 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: And you had to set all that up herself. 110 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 3: And just as she said, though, how valuable it is 111 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 3: to see these stories on TV, for example, Chris's PTSD storm, 112 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 3: to see that it can end. The storm ends, and 113 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 3: as she said, a grief storm, it comes and you 114 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: breathe through it, and that moment ends. It'll come again. 115 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: But such incredible lessons that everyone has responded to. This 116 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 3: has been one of SBS's most popular shows ever. It's 117 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: a great shot, it's an incredible show. So tonight you 118 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: will see Gina, you will see Michael, and you will 119 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: see Mike, the three remaining contestants participants, and tomorrow we 120 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 3: will talk to the winner. 121 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: And you after the after for the reuse Alex Perry 122 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: when he did that show with the this. 123 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 3: Is nothing like This is nothing like that. There'll be 124 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 3: tears and most of them are from me.
