Naked and Afraid

yeah, i think it's naive to think these shows are not heavily produced.

why would a show strangle itself (potentially causing its cancellation) by skimping on production value?

because it would be dishonest?

that's funny. most tv people are far from honest.
 
I have seen it and I think the show sucks. I like the idea, let people survive with nothing. However, they let the people bring an item with them. That kind of defeats the purpose of surviving with nothing including clothes. That fact just makes the naked part solely a gimmick.

Also in one of the episodes they treat one of the dudes who has a foot infection, and then let him return to the challenge. Obviously I am not against treating the wound, but needing medical attention, and then still considering him a survivor is kind of BS. Treat the wound, but you're out.

I'd consider watching again if they took the blurred parts off the hot wimmenz. :laughing

Survivor man was fucking awesome. His other show beyond survival was great too.

As for the naked survival thing, I think naked castaway was WAY better.

Former British Army Captain Ed Stafford was the first person ever to walk the length of the Amazon River, but surviving completely alone on a deserted island is his biggest adventure yet. Can he last 60 days on an uninhabited Fijian island with absolutely nothing? No survival tools, no rations, no clothes, no film crew. It’s a daunting challenge and nobody’s ever done it before.

In fierce tropical heat Ed has only hours to find water before dehydration ends his attempt before it’s begun. He must master the island – and his fears - to find food and water, light fire, build a proper shelter, and progress from mere survival to the point where he could stay forever.

Filmed entirely by Ed himself, there’s never been a more authentic survival series on TV.

Naked Castaway was good. But, even he needed to dip into the emergency antibiotic stash. I liked his show because I watched his documentary when he hiked all the way down the Amazon. That was hilarious hearing the interview with his local companion who decided to go with him because he didn't know shit. The local guy thought that the Brit was gonna die if he didn't tag along.
 
Regarding the Naked & Afraid show, I've seen two episodes:

1. The one with the whiney guy who almost died when their shit caught on fire while he was sleeping in it. I'm sure that he knew what he was doing, but he was a fucking drama queen. Every little thing was, "Dude, I amost died!" I kept yelling at the TV saying, "But, you didn't, so quit whining!!!"

2. The one where the guy got sunburned and was laid up for 3 days as the chick took care of them. (By the way, she was my favorite.) He was another whiney fuck.

I don't know what the other episodes were like, but I have not been impressed with the guys on that show so far.

That's one of the paradoxes of the show. I'm sure many tune in for the titillation, so to speak. But the fact is, women ARE winning on that show in most episodes. In one, this dude was a complete a-hole control freak, but the woman saved the adventure, time after time. And no, I dont think it was scripted that way intentionally. And yeah, in several other episodes, including the most recent, the dude was "rated" better in survival skills, but turned into a crying, whiner.

Thanks! Mixed reviews on the threads I start.

Yep. And the last cheddar was the one that cut his foot, got it infected and needed medical attention. His female partner caught a fish "with her vagina."

The women are absolutely owning it on this show.
 
i've watched a couple of episodes, and in second episode (Puma was his name), long hair hippy dude... found water.. drank it. and didn't tell the girl about it. she kept saying she was thirsty, she started the fire and he let it go out, ridiculous. the guys are whiners.

on another note.. this show makes people loose weight quickly. i think one dude lost 40 pounds in the 21 days. and the woman 18 pounds. :wow
 
Yeah, the dudes all look like a bunch of pussies.

On the one I watched the dude was hungry and there was a goddamn Boa sitting in a tree RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, but he was too scared to get near it. What a pansy.

Also, there was a pond nearby with a bunch of Caimans, but he was scared of those too. What a bitch.

The chick also started the fire because his method, and lack of fortitude made him give up.

Plus, he was afraid of the water. Jesus, the guy was fucking useless and the girl basically saved his sorry fat ass.

She should have waited until he fell asleep and then bashed his skull with a coconut and ate him.
 
A lot of the guys on the show are slightly misogynistic ex military men and the women tend to be very educated and self reliant.:laughing

nooo....they were living in a river anyway. He drank some water that was runniing over a mossy rock thinking it would be safe, but he didn't tell the girl. They were trying to start a fire to boil it but he failed so drank the water anyway...and promptly got sick and had to be removed from the show early.

Ah, ok. So, not the first guy on the show to drink untreated water and get sick afterward?

I think a few had diarrhea from water/food. Even that guy Naked Castaway almost didn't make it for the same reasons.

Was funny when Mr. Marine was dropping runny stools right outside their shelter and the chick was like ":wtf dood! Shit somewheres else!" and he whined "But I have diarrhea, what do you want!" and she goes "I want not to step in your shit all the time!" :rofl
