Press release from Channel 5:

We found a press release for this episode released October 24 on TVthrong., and will summarize it here:

In episode six, the unbreakables go to the Everglades in Florida. They're led into a swamp by a Native American guide, who says: "My name is not important to you," he sneers. "But you will call me Teacher." Among the challenges this week is cutting open a dead alligator and getting at the ribs, which they must use as tools. Teacher tells them to use their sharpened alligator ribs to cut sawgrass which they will use for sleeping mats to avoid snake visits during the night. They make their way to the camp with dug out canoes.

Next morning they get a lesson in alligator wrangling, and have to wrestle and secure an alligator each. Not an easy task. The final challenge is a game of stickball, which was originally called lacrosse, and was a much bloodier sport than the current version played at schools. A game could last all day, and contestants died. And this game was played by the old rules - no rules.
