Synopsis:

Two people must survive with no food, no clothes and no water for 21 days in the wild. There is no prize, aside from the pride of completing the challenge. In this "Tribes” episode, two 20-somethings and two GenXers must survive 10 days in different camps and merge on day 11 to complete the remainder of the challenge together in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. Amanda, 23 is a wildlife firefighter and old soul out to prove she’s as capable as any seasoned survivalist. Calvin, 21 a vet student, hopes to be the youngest survivalist to complete the Naked and Afraid challenge. He comes in determined and full of bravado. A few miles away, Rhonda, 49 a triathlete and personal trainer, is determined to prove that age is nothing but a number. Her partner Joe, 47, an Iraqi combat vet and Loki Run enthusiast, hopes his desert training and Norse heritage will help him through the challenge. Will experience triumph over youth, or will preconceptions melt away under the harsh Sonoran sun?
