As the first family to take part work together to battle crocodiles and cross a river, Marc believes his family is falling apart because his mum Dawn has eight children by six men. As they hack through dense jungle and razor sharp pine needles, Dawn reveals the deeply emotional reason why she went off the rails, and Marc realises that he has misjudged his mother
Another family spend five days in the remote Panamanian jungle, with single mum Chyna hoping the experience will teach her wayward son Chaunce a few life lessons and enable him to bond with his strict grandfather Derek. Her hopes are dashed on the first night as the men come to blows, so Derek tries a new tack by teaching his grandson some old-fashioned boy scout skills.
