Naked and Afraid XL

[IloveTHIS]

Dude I'm pretty sure even Survivor rigs shit now to get the interesting people farther along.

No shit that new age silly show is fake

Discovery, Animal Planet, Teh Learning Channel, History, A&E; they all have the same awful shows. Most basic cable channels are indistinguishable now. It's strange.

They have to be dumbing us down. No other explanation. Maybe with men not in control you just get weird crap. Idk.

I watched a couple early episodes. I liked it but my wife thought I was a pervert for watching a survival show where the people are unnecessarily naked. I can see her point.

If she thinks that, she probably beats your ass if she catches you looking at porn.

I am one of the biggest anti reality show people I know..... Naked and Afraid and Naked and Afraid XL are my guilty pleasures....

I am not 100% sure why exactly, but I love survival shows, and I get to see some nice butt cheeks on this one every once in awhile.

Always wondered about sex and shit on this show. I mean, they are already like 95% of the way there, they just need to start making pancakes already. 2 single, decent looking people out there for 21 or 40 days, I would at least like a handy to relieve some stress/tension....

They're starving, dehydrated, exhausted, and smell like shit, so I HIGHLY doubt it.

This , your body goes into starvation mode and diverts that energy previously concerned with dipping the wick pretty quickly.

Show is pretty obviously " coached " if not outright scripted.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

It's scripted.

There was an episode of the regular version of Naked and Afraid and they had a run in with a panther or something and the shots of the panther were so obviously bad CGI it was insulting.

 

[HereticBD]

Guilty pleasure show for me. Don't care if they rig shit here and there. It's still entertaining, and those people are insane and still go through crazy shit.

The only thing I don't like in the show, is sometimes they'll get medical attention and are allowed to continue. Sorry, that's a tap out.

No, because people are supposed to be naked in porn. Watching a survival show and making them get naked is weird. I agree with her.

It's not unnecessary though. It's an extra challenge to deal with. You are completely exposed to the elements, and have to adapt. You know how handy clothes would come in, when you're shacking up with millions and millions of bugs? Then there's the weather, that can scorch the fuck out of you, or drop down to temperatures that are extremely uncomfortable without any kind clothing to protect you.

XL? So is this a bbw edition? Ohhh

That’s actually a great premise for a show. Take the morbidly obese and drop them in the wilds to survive for a few weeks. Tell them it’s a fat camp or something, it wouldn’t be entirely untrue.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

So sad that I actually found it conceivable that this was the fat people version of the show.

 

[melvinj0]

Is it like Naked and Afraid but with nothing but Black Guys?

 

[RayA]

The first time I watched naked and afraid was with my cousin. I was trying to watch a UFC event, but every time a commercial hit, he'd switch over to naked and afraid, and then switch after a couple minutes to where there was only 1 minute left in the round.

I really didn't care much for it, granted, I bias and just mad I was missing out on what I was trying to watch.

 

[SMillard]

That shot got dumb when they started having multiple teams and shit on it:

One thing I learned from that show though is 100% of ex-military members are fat fucks. I still remember one with a retired special forces guy who must have been like 280lbs, and not a good 280lbs.

I've also noticed a majority of the women actually look better clothed than naked. Also after a few days the bug bites and rashes make even the best looking body look like shit.

A lot of times people that leave "active" careers like military or even professional athletes put on a lot of fat after they get out. That's what happens when you maintain the same caloric intake but cut out all the physical activity.

I'm a fan of Naked and Afraid, and while I don't doubt the producers get involved, the misery that the people go through is interesting. I also like how a good % of contestants fail the challenge. I usually want the contestants to succeed, but having about a 1/3 of the contestants tap out makes me want to finish the episode. It seems like the people that tout their primitive hunting and firemaking skills, usually have a really tough time delivering on their boasting.

One married southern hillbilly was caught on video fondling the somewhat attractive woman partner's buns while she was asleep. She sounded like she didn't mind.

These days, they give them a firestarter and pot (not weed) in addition to their own choice of survival item.

Also, re: fake or not, one episode had tattoo white woman warned by her partner not to stand by the fire because she felt like she was going to faint, and the camera caught her faint and fall right into the campfire and the partner had to quickly carry her out of the flames. I doubt that was scripted. She could have cracked her head on some boulder too.

 

[Phlog]

I cannot stand that reality bull shit, so no. None of it. Ever.

 

[Krallang]

The biggest "fuck you" i've seen in these reality shows was the second season of the bear grylls survival show The island, the british version. The men and women were separated into 2 different groups totally on their own. I think the total time was 45 days or something they had to survive.

I think one guy ended up tapping for emotional reasons but the guys were hanging in there pretty well, working hard to forage and hunt food etc...

Well the women happened to trip over 2 piglets at about the 2 week time frame, hadn't caught or hunted a damn thing till then and 2-3 women had already tapped.

That right there was a big enough red flag but it got even more blatant. It was pushing past day 30 and the women left were looking like skeletors. It just so happens a local fisherman dropped by the island and gave the women like a 4 foot long fish that managed to help em push it to day 45.

I get it though, how bad would it look if a bunch of random (non survival dudes) faired reasonably well and the random women all tapped out, no fucking way the producers were about to let that happen...
