This envelope is only for emergency cases. is in here, and I know you want us to open the envelope too. So, if this video gets 200,000 likes, we'll open it. Okay. There are 9 days left surviving with one weight until reaching the final. But maybe it all ends today. We started this challenge with five people, and today there are only three of us left. That's how it is. It seems Panda is out of the challenge. Yesterday we had to eat the spiciest potato in the world and Panda decided to do it, but we never imagined this would Yes, yes, yes, that's enough. No, now they are crying for him, he is crying. She's already crying. At first everything seemed fine, breathe. It's not normal for my airway to be blocked Look, but she's kind of shivering. We were so worried that we called an ambulance and brought him to the hospital. That's how, after a month in this challenge, we lost Karen and now Panda. Will we be able to reach the final? Yes, yes, we're going to achieve it. We are the money we need. Yesterday, after leaving Panda at the hospital, saving as much money as possible, we decided to sleep in a parking lot. Yes, it was very awkward, but I think that way we can achieve it. And we also can't think that Panda has already dropped out of the challenge. In other words, that's something he has to decide. we have to talk to him, we have to ask him if he's still here or not [music] he's still here this point, I feel like we're not going to make it. Come on, let's see how she feels and what she tells us. Poor Panda, I hope he got some rest and is feeling better. We almost lost it yesterday. Miguel was right. In the end, only Panda knows how he feels and how far he can go. So we went to his room to talk to him and find out what was going to happen with the challenge. Ask now, ask it. Yes, put on your mask. Don't no, relax, there [music] they'll censor your face, you can put on the mask, we're live. Oh, well, Valeria is there too. Valeria well, Valeria is there too. Valeria was here with Panda all night. Do you know what I felt when Panda was sick? "Tell her, tell Valeria, tell my mom." Who is Valeria? Oh Valeria. put on his mask. Okay, fine, let's go, there's no right? Go ahead, you can come in. Thank you. He is my doctor. Nice to meet you , nice to meet you. We'll serve you. Hey adventurers, here's Vale, who spent the whole night. Look, she's super married. How did you see Panda? 's better now. I'm better now, thankfully. Well, hello. You make me nervous with that little bit of camera. The good thing is that they've taken good care of me, I mean, they're kind of giving me an IV drip because guess what, guess who's dehydrated. But that's exactly it, because we all went 24 hours without eating right? In other words, the doctor knows more about what happened to me . Basically, he had a very bad case of gastritis yesterday while being transferred from the that it was hyperventilation that caused his final DH [music] . He arrived with a very high heart rate. As you can see, it has stabilized quite a bit now. [music] of the diagnoses. But what caused this? Basically, he ate a very spicy potato, [music] that's what caused his gastritis. The hyperventilation was caused by breathing a lot; doing that for 10 minutes straight causes hyperventilation. It was mostly because of the breathing and not because of the potato or both. It was the breathing. Well, but he potato, right? I mean, it was a combination of everything because look, we haven't eaten anything, we haven't drunk anything, besides that , we haven't had any rest, and then the potato triggered all of that, the lot of people who were around, it wasn't just the can already handle the spiciness. In fact, I was telling Valeria that she taught me well because, I mean, it didn't sting for very long, it only stung when you You had said that Valeria had taught you to eat spicy food. What happened? Now I have to teach him to breathe. And with the doctor's diagnosis, many the most important question of all remained [music] and the answer was not what we expected. The good news is that pandas are no longer endangered. You are the survivor. We're ok. That's what I wanted to ask you about because people are asking, are you, like, are you going to continue n't it. Not at the moment. We have to wait for the arterial blood gas labs, and that will be at least by Sunday afternoon. And you'd have to follow a super strict diet if you want to keep it up , he could leave here on Sunday. On Sunday, if all goes well. Yes. Otherwise, we'd have to wait until Monday. I mean, damn it n't lasted this long just to stay here because of dehydration and gastritis, I mean, I don't want to quit the challenge. This No, no, no, I don't want to. Okay, no, no. In other words, if Pana doesn't want to leave, let's call it being Sunday afternoon, if all goes well, he could leave. in Greto, still praying, still eating little, drinking little, then it can happen to you again. Listen, after all, I'm not the insurance is paying for this. I'm sure I'll or rules, it's about the fact that we're not eating well or sleeping well, but I'm not just surviving, I mean, they're treating me, they're giving me antibiotics, sorry, they're giving me meprasol, they're giving me IV fluids, all so that I'm okay. I mean, I feel like there's only one person who would agree to you dropping out of the challenge. Here [laughs] , but not the potato. I mean, happen again. It can happen again, of course. I need to Exact. In other words, a diet that we can stick to because the things I have to hydration, lots of hydration, lots of hydration, water. I thought I was having a heart attack because I don't know anything about that. I didn't know that breathing so fast could cause that [snort] crisis. neuroconvergent and my hands were so clenched that I was saying, "Okay, uh, I've heard of people before that they're having a stroke. Your feet go numb." And I thought that's what he's giving me. That's why I got scared. Put your hand on me again. I need you to let me fall there onto your body. I started crying because I said, "Damn, I died." The ambulance and a part where I also got really desperate and started apologizing for making fun of you. I thought you were exaggerating everything and I started crying and everything, and I remember telling the author that she was going to sure he's going to die? No, he's not going to die. Relax, Nando. It's going to . Just like the other day when there was an exception, this is a pause. You don't want to back out of the challenge, and you 're saying so yourself. I would say let's come back on Sunday and see what I feel, right now I feel good. Although Panda was our biggest concern, another problem arose that Something is happening right now. They are canceling Karim. They're criticizing Karen because they say she sent the potato that was bad, it But why are they going to cancel her if she's not to blame? Furthermore, the doctor said it was n't because of the potato, I mean, it was also the crisis, it was what we have n't eaten for all these days, well, the dehydration, I mean, no, it doing the challenges. Karen is not to blame for what guilty. Hey guys, how are you? How are you? How are you? Good. No, don't worry. [music] No, calm down. Hear me Excuse me, it wasn't my intention. Karen, stay calm. [music] Look, listen. First, the hospital is paid for by insurance. Second, I vomited up part of the responsible for that. I'm going to see you tomorrow. You're actually making me feel guilty that you're changing your plans because of this. In other Your health comes first, and your well-being comes first. feel better too. And if that's going to help you feel better, that's fine. With Panda, in this situation and everything we went through, we started thinking about something we've been holding onto for days. Adventurers, here I have the envelope that that day. He gave it to me. My friend gave me an envelope [laughs] and he said we would only open it emergency than this? Hey, look at him. to open it. You'll only open it when you Uh, I vote that Panda should decide if we open the envelope, because the one who might be desperate right now, I feel, Here you go, do we open it or not? This envelope only says for emergencies and despite [music] an ambulance coming for me and it was a real emergency, I don't think we should do it because I'm fine, we have money. Panda had a good point, but I didn't entirely agree with the decision So what do we do with the envelope? If we say that Panda should decide, then we agree to open the envelope, we'll open it. But what could be worse than someone ending up in a hospital? We need to open it now. I think we still have a few ticket to the final. And if the ticket is there, we don't know. then, there's only one way to find out. We'll have it two days before emergency, and an emergency could be reach the finals. Exactly. Less than 10 days to go. millionaire who wants to give us money? We cannot ask for money. That's against That's good. Yes. No, he's not doing it. Do n't you know any older lady who would want to be with Nando? No, but I can be your hey, I No, but I can be your hey, I have the budget, I have everything. have to lock you up. Oh, well, Panda, we're glad you're hands with Vale. Hello, hello. We are not going to work today because it is raining a lot in Mexico City. We're thinking of you too right? Yes. Let's see what we can do right now. Rest up, see you in a few days. We love you, Panda, we love you. We love you, Panda, we love you. We just hope that in a couple of days you'll join the challenge if you're feeling better. Yes, only if the adventurers want me to return, if they support it. I'm going back , if not, oh well, I mean, I'm staying. You heard it, adventurers. Leave lots of comments because on the video. Okay, we want you to come back to the challenge when you feel better. And say nice things to Panda. Hey, adventurers, I don't know why Nando, Panda, and Miguel don't want to open the envelope if I feel it's time. is in here, and I know you want us to open the envelope too. So, if this video gets 200,000 likes, we'll open it. Okay? I don't open, [music] I'm going to open it. Leave 200,000 likes and we'll find out what this envelope from Abraham is hiding. After we went out to look for something to eat, but on the way an adventurer appeared who Nando a new mission. Hello, what? How and? All good? But Hello, what? How and? All good? But . Hey, well, nothing, first of all, I saw that I brought something earlier. At first we didn't understand anything until sense. [music] Guys, if you don't remember, like two or three days ago Yolo was joking with me because I wore a Colombia shirt and Colombia lost and Yolo told me, "I need you to get dressed." That's the one right? I brought her a rag. I brought a dirty rag to hook the exchange of shirts with faith Latin American country still in the competition. I have to sleep with this on, I'm not going fulfilling my promise to Argentina. It's good, it's good. And you know what, do you know what it smells like? A roasted chicken, something we haven't eaten delicious. And my good friend Rodrigo served it to us, right? Yes, thank you very much. Here's the chicken, it's enough Four people. is in the hospital, we're going to have a full belly and a happy heart. we understood that food is much more important than we thought, so Nando the good news. The chicken is ready. The chicken. This Miguel, this one's a real chicken, isn't he? That piece of plastic garbage you have there. Shut up and eat. Okay. A month in the groo surviving on one peso. I haven't eaten chicken in a month, dude. This is going to be like caviar to me . It's time to eat a chicken for the first time in a long time. a small problem. We had nothing to eat it with. So I asked again, and the answer didn't help much. They told me they serve, that is, they only sell chicken to take away, meaning they don't give you a plate, a napkin, or anything. But here where it says "snacks," we could ask for napkins and they'd kind of order anything from No, but the napkin works. We can Mira, the lady says yes. Yes. My God, how I love old ladies, bro. I love Mexican ladies. I'm addicted to Why did you choose the Swiss one? Argentinian. But where? Where did you get it? Bueno, he met us. I was watching the live stream in Argentinian Spanish.

That's the new boyfriend right now, the one who said, "Oh, I do I could have said no. And he said yes. Luckily, the lady at the cafe ended up saving us and we were able to enjoy that chicken as if it were the best what would happen. After talking to Panda, I feel like he's not going to return to the challenge. The doctor said he would recover in two days, but I saw him in very serious condition. I mean, he always tries to put on a brave face and all, but what really happened to him was serious. Yes, yes, yes. It's true. Yes, it's true that it was delicate and Panda is still trust Panda and I saw him very enthusiastic, I mean, I think he's super enthusiastic and doesn't want to give up on the challenge yet. We can trust him. For two days only we will be three people, just for Sunday; on in the comments right now needs to write, "Get well, Panda, get well, Panda, so that Panda has good energy and can come back to Yes, yes. This one, what about you, What's on Instagram? Okay, look at this. I asked the lady for her Instagram because I thought she was very pretty, and she's giving me the Instagram, but it's for the restaurant. No, I already know that, [laughs] gave it to him. And with our spirits up, we bought some cookies and had our last mission of the day: to find a place to sleep tonight. But as soon as we left, we met some adventurers who completely changed our night. We want to give them a small gift so that they everything. Gift. I'm coming, I'm coming. What do you mean, a gift?

After having gone through one of the most difficult nights of the challenge, this gift we started looking for the perfect place to leave our new tent, so it wouldn't end up like our previous home. And tent. Yes, we walked a long way to a place we had never visited before, so nobody is going to get here. Look at this. It's a work of art. Look, it's huge. The four of us could barely fit in the this thing. Now I can invite Karen. but he's playing hard to get. She wasn't there when we had that this mansion is all about. This is something like tent 2.0.
