King of the Jungle

The competitors meet for the first time and see who they will be sharing the jungle with for the next ten days. The first challenge sends them all on a ride through the sky and an encounter with some of the most amazing animals they have every seen face to face.

Things heat up when our animal experts come face to face with one of nature's most dangerous reptiles. Meanwhile, two competitors stoke the fires in a battle of the sexes. Someone redefines the word ""tree-hugger,"" and a fear of heights proves too much for one competitor to overcome.

Juvenile tigers make for a wild adventure in the water, as personalities are switched on for the competitors' first screen test. One competitor's over-the-top performance draws harsh criticism from the judges, and a well-hidden snake in the grass wreaks havoc on all.

Wildlife abounds as our competitors test the outer limits of their animal expertise. A tiny tree frog gives someone a big boost. Our competitors play hero to some endangered tiger cubs, but a difficult challenge high in the trees leads to a shocking elimination.

The danger factor gets cranked up a notch when some venomous snakes jump-start the day. But back in camp is where the real action begins. A seasoned veteran decides to play it close to the vest, and the pressure of competition takes a toll on some.

Someone plays Ring Around the Rosy with their new best friend, but makes a strong comeback with a stellar showing on the ropes. Back at camp, life in the jungle has gotten almost unbearable, and a feud between two competitors heats up even further.

The great outdoors begins to take a toll on someone's personal hygiene. A go-it-alone attitude leads to another confrontation, and yet another surprising elimination sets the group on edge. Luckily, a world-famous chef arrives in camp to lift their spirits and satisfy some cravings.

The competitors face their most dangerous challenge yet, and one competitor tackles their fear of snakes head on. Another makes a new friend, and a troop of rowdy baboons lightens the mood in camp.

An exotic bird makes for a difficult screen test. A little swim with a big animal proves to be a great tension-breaker. Then the rains come, and with only two days left, paranoia begins to set in

It's the final day. With nothing left to lose, the competitors face their toughest challenges yet, but one faces another, more daunting challenge on the home front. And its back into the big cat arena for the final challenge, and the King of the Jungle is finally crowned.

The King of the Jungle winner hosts his/her own wildlife special. The winner handles an American alligator and then travels to Egypt on a mission to witness the Nile crocodile in action as herds of zebra and wildebeest cross the river for a great migration.
