This terrifying reality persuaded him to focus on hard work and perseverance inside closed doors as a road for escape," according to Discovery.

The meeting between the two is quite friendly. They shake hands and Bree is very happy to hug Clarence.

They are both happy with the positive attitudes during their meeting and decide that they need to get into some shade and out of the sun.

They are already having a rough time in Honduras. Clarence and Bree realize that their location is not ideal and they must move to a flatter location.

Bree takes charge of the shelter situation and because of her fear of snakes, she does not want to sleep on the ground. Meanwhile, as Bree works on the shelter, Clarence is trying to get a fire started.

Bree is chopping down the trees for her raised shelter which she says takes very long. Most of Clarence's kindle is wet but he eventually gets the fire started. They are working together as a team and kicking butt.

During a stroll they find a tarantula and Clarence catches it while Bree hands him a rock to kill it. They roast it and enjoy a fuzzy little lobster for their first meal. Bree takes a break for some water and Clarence realizes that they should drink the cooler water.

Bree is in a rush and drinks the warmer water. Bree asks Clarence to try to listen to her a little more. Clarence says he was just making a suggestion.

Together they work on the raised platform for their shelter but the rain sets in once again. They band together as fast as they can and finish their raised shelter.

Bree is dry while Clarence makes his own shelter. In the evening they wish each other a good night and Clarence begins freaking out. He hears something breathing heavy around him.

Then suddenly, Clarence says he figured out what he growl was and it was really embarrassing. It was his stomach growling and he had never heard it that loud before.

During the day, Clarence finds a viper in the tree and decides to catch it for a snack. He presents the snack to Bree and she is happy to see it.

He prepares it and they enjoy it though they are cautious about the dangers that lurk close to camp.

Clarence doesn't have enough to eat and he also becomes sick. He has diarrhea and Bree has to take over the fire to see how important it is.

Clarence takes a nap and Bree is nervous about the fire responsibility. Just then, the entire shelter catches on fire and Bree realizes that Clarence will not be happy.

Bree tries her best to put the fire out and Clarence wakes up to see the aftermath.

Clarence is not happy to see his shelter burned up. He has to make a new one from scratch and says he can never rely on anyone for his success.

He talks about his father and says he relied on his father a lot. Bree wants to know if he can rely on her a little bit, however, Clarence seems to to want to go at it on his own.

He creates a whole new shelter. Bree is weirded out by the fact that it is a team effort but Clarence has been pretty introverted. Bree says she is disappointed with who her partner is.

Clarence is still suffering with pain and stomach problems. He continues to isolate himself from his partner as well.

Bree says thinking of other people is really important and wants to turn it all into something positive.

She decides to make a tea from the gumbo limbo tree as a remedy for his stomach problems. She presents it to Clarence who says it is really good.

Clarence realizes that Bree has been really helpful and is happier known that she has his back. The rain sets in again and it's getting harder. They spend the next three nights trapped int heir own shelters because of the storm.

By day 13 the rain clears up and everything is wet. Clarence wants to get Bree on the bandwagon for the debris shelter. Bree agrees that she is much warmer in it.

He decides to help her make her own and they want to be closer together. They are very respectful of each other at this point and they seem to be doing much better.

In the evening, they say goodnight again and Bree is cramped in her shelter. Lurking around her shelter is a snake that makes its way inside. Bree is awoken and begins screaming that there is a snake on her.

Clarence wakes up and rushes to Bree's rescue. They can't find it and they aren't sure if it is still there or not. Bree cannot go back into her shelter.

The next day, Bree tells Clarence that there is nowhere for her sleep anymore and the snake was the last straw for her.

She says she thinks she is going to tap out. Bree asks Clarence if he is okay with that and Clarence says he is tough and he will be fine.

Clarence says he is a one-wolf wolf pack and that's what he has to be to survive. Bree has reached her limit and tapped out of the challenge.

Clarence is confident that he can do the challenge on his own.
