2. Episode 2
In the second programme, the six remaining celebrities start the day without breakfast having decided to conserve their dwindling military rations. They trek to meet Bear, who delivers their first mission of the day. The group head off into the Karoo mountain range to locate a dead springbok. They need to retrieve the carcass, which has been placed high up in a tree, divide it into pieces, and each carry it in their rucksacks across a leopard crawl – two lines suspended 50ft above a rocky ravine. Anybody who fails to get across successfully, keeping hands and feet on the ropes, will have to sacrifice their meat.
