    If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

    I am so upset about the xl version basically it starts like a real show in season 1 i liked it i guess its just because i didnt get used to it yet . But after the next seasons especially the season 4 its so irritating and makes me so mad that its all scripted edited and manipulated . You see the survival situation goes okay with the tribe and from nowhere they decide to just start high school drama for noreason , for the producers it's more like wanting a drama show in a wildness with naked people more than creating a real tv show that intertanes people and make people learn some stuff about survival technics . I am at episode 9 season 4 rn and I I am just so mad . Making up arguments for no reason just to make the show more dramatic however sometimes they have food and water and good shelter but they start to fight for the stupid reasons and its so obvious thats it is fake .

    I've watched all episodes of Naked and Afraid over the years. Some of them are really cool, and I do love survival shows in general. However. Already on their way out to the bush, the South-African men said something like, why are you doing this, naked where it is very dangerous?This sentiment has followed me through the episodes. The apathy and the constant showing of muscles, confidence and self-assured nature has me baffling for air. From what I can tell, they mainly sit around, waiting for one of them to get up and try to catch something. And then they have nothing. And then they sit around again, waiting for someone to catch something and no one does. It's an endless circle. And then they start to get sick. So sick in fact that nearby medics has to be called for. (so, they're really not so much alone, just camping out next to the real experts) And when they start to get sick, the embarrassment should had struck them. But they're "experts" right? So they don't get embarrassed. But I do. I get so embarrassed that I can hardly watch. And I do want to finish what I've started, so I do keep trying... but I have to play a computer game in the same time to get my head away from the worst of the craziness. Listen. Here they are. 13 entitles Americans. People who can afford taking some 50 days (including travel-time etc) out of their lives to go and do something adventurous. They're well fed, well clothed, fortunate and spoiled. They've never had to starve, unless they felt like it. They've never had to really fend for themselves, unless they felt like it. They never had to fight for their lives, unless they felt like it. Lets face it. These people are sitting around, in the bush in South Africa. A country populated by not less than 12 million people living in poverty. They have no clean water, no electricity, no work, no food. This is the reality. And there these 12 boys and girls are sitting, saying things like "they are starving" when a van some 100 meters from them, have the medical care that very few people in South Africa has, or can even dream of. Also, that van is full stocked with food, clean water, clothing and a flight back to their safety and spoiled American lives. This season is so typical for the western world. We are entitled, we are so sure of our-self that we go camping in a world we don't understand, or even know anything about. We go places without having studied the culture, ecology, population or anything. I am sure that not only do the South Africans helping out in this series laugh at the stupid Americans. I am sure that they also are weeping. The laughter stopped in its track, and the crying begins, for their own world and culture. That's all.

    I haven t seen the other series but judging by the first episodes I'm like: " is this thing for real" A lot of times seems like is following a script. I highly doubt human body can survive and perform tasks in that heat with 300-500 cal a day. How do those people survive for so many days? They lack of basic survival skills. Building shelter hole day without water supply on a 40C heat.. They have lakes/river but can't catch fish..Shane cant make a fire with a flint or catch fish with a basket?Jesus.. who picked those guys and who rated them? And then Dani and Alana they're so lazy.. Not mentioning that first priority should be covering your genitals as they are the most prone to infections and bites etc, especially for women. Chris and Luke started well but then proved 0 skills in hunting and fishing. The only ones that actually do something is EJ and Jeff.And seriously, why do they have to be naked? Even neanderthals had some sort of clothes made of animal skins and plants.

    I loved the early seasons of the original Naked and Afraid because they taught honest survival skills. That slowly got scarified in favor of more forced drama as the show went on before culminating in Naked and Afraid XL, where they allowed clearly unqualified contenders to return and set about trying to push their buttons.Case in point: Shane, the so-called "Alpha Male". In his first challenge, he broke his foot and spent most of the challenge being nursed by his partner (a wilderness survival skills teacher) as he whined about how women have no business trying to make it in the wild that everyone under 30 is useless.So who do they pair him with? A twenty-something vegetarian EMT and a tough-as-nails Texas rancher who was the first person to survive the original 21 day challenge solo. The two of them disprove his theories about how everything is supposed to work just by existing and he starts having a nervous breakdown almost immediately, because these two women don't consider his whining about being abandoned as a child and bragging about being told it was a miracle he wasn't a serial killer by his shrink to be a turn-on. The sick thing is that his fans started sending rape and death threats to these two women IRL as the show was going on, after Shane abandoned them, went off on his own, proved incapable of constructing his own shelter and so incompetent that he couldn't make a fire. The women did just fine without him and no F***s were given when he came back, with no apology, and said he had decided they should work together.The same thing happens with the high-strung Honora - the one returning survivalist who didn't succeed on the original Naked and Afraid. She gets paired with two arrogant men used to doing things their own way, who know full well that Honora washed out on her first challenge and treat her every suggestion with derision. It's around the fifth episode that the show's editing becomes clear, as a group of two men "just happen" to come by at that moment and welcome Shane into their group. And all seems well and good... until the bromance is ruined as another group of five contenders show up, half-starved, just after they made their first successful kill.Now, ignoring that four of the people in these two groups had appeared together in previous challenges (Eva/Jeff and Laura/EJ) and that there is no reaction to these former partners seeing each other... what are the odds that this group of five people showed up at that moment? About the same as EJ and Jeff showing up to save Shane from the mean girls, I reckon.And that's ignoring how neatly butchered all the eels that Jeff "caught" seem to be and how Jeff is suddenly some kind of master hunter, despite being utterly incompetent in his first challenge, where most of the food was caught by his partner Eva. Of course devout Mormon Jeff took credit for her success, crediting his praying while trash-talking feminists. There's a lot of things that don't add up and the show was clearly edited to paint certain people as heroes and villains, with Shane being painted as heroic and self-sacrificing as he climbs a tree to gather fruit for his starving teammates while Honor is painted as an idiot for trying the same thing. (For the record, truly selfless people do not talk to a camera about how God is blessing them for being selfless.)What's really vexing is how the final Team of Six get written off as lazy and selfish when they're the ones who practiced smart, real survival techniques while everyone else was wandering around the woods failing to hunt or showboating for the camera. I will give credit to EJ, however, for noting on his social media that there was a lot more sharing between the two camps than the show depicted and indeed he singled out Alana and Danielle for sharing their fruit rations with him and Jeff in exchange for the eel - something that was cut from the show entirely because it would have destroyed any attempt to make the selfish veggie girls look evil.
