Why is called Naked and Afraid

Recommended Posts

Within a few minutes the female somehow configures a top and bottom made of leaves or some cloth they found. Then it just gets boring. I mean if they are gonna call it 'naked', make 'em be freaking naked. Is it too much to ask for some boobs and snatch shots? Come on, it's cable and 2015. Sheesch!

Yes thats too much to ask. I never understood that tv trope "its cable, therefore porn". Theres only nudity on premium channels like showtime, hbo etc. Yes those can be purchased on cable, but hey are totally different than regular cable channels. I always grew up with cable, no channels on cable can show nudity. Dissapointed me all the time and annoyed me when I see some schmuck on a sitcom "ooh you have cable? naked channels!"

Some chick from California never covered up including the ride out.

 

I thought it was kind of a lame idea, but the hardships they have to endure with little in the way of resources has been interesting. Not having shoes is a big one. Also bug swarms at night have caused a lot of misery.

 

Did anybody see the episode where the guy got some black tree sap on his skin that just messed him up? They had to bring in the medical team.

Yep I saw that one. It was like poison ivy X 1000

 

They're never gonna show the snatch, but I do appreciate the chicks who leave their @sses exposed. Some of them have been pretty decent to look at.

Naked and Afraid is fairly compelling and enjoyable viewing. I'm looking forward to the Naked and Afraid XL episodes as that saga unfolds.

 

As most of you already know, who is going to want to come on the naked and afraid show if they knew they would be naked for viewers to gawk at? They would never have any contestants, especially the broads.

 

The show Alone on the History Channel is off to a solid start, around 5 episodes in. Around a dozen survivors scattered around Vancouver Island, endurance survival contest for a pot of money, while being legitimately stalked by bears and cougars. They gave them too much gear to survive with, but I'll keep watching.

 

A colossal fail was the Bear Grylls show that just ended The Island. Descent premise of a bunch of men surviving on an island for a month. Then it got super duper queer. Guys wrapped up in feelings and emotions. Hugging, hand holding, and the gay guy had an anal fissure and impacted colon. You can't make this stuff up. A stay at home dad bragged that we got his man card back, even though we was weeping every 4 seconds about something or other; I guess his period was out of control. They read a poem on the last day on the island. What the what?

 

I wish the Franco-Rogan spoof was longer than 12 minutes. But it hit all the right notes and was focking funny.

Been watching both Alone and NAAXL with my boy, kutulu. Enjoy both alot...to get into it we watch it naked in solidarity with the contestants. :banana:

 

I don't think 10 items is too much for the alone fellas...that is a rough environment and there is no set time limit. Surprised so many dropped out so soon...think they are down to about half after about a week.

I was surprised by that too. That was a bad-ass canoe the one dude built.

 

They should have a gear draft. Big pile of gear and everyone gets to pick one item at a time. 12 guys, maybe there are 6-8 sleeping bags, and that many tarps, firestarters, hatchets, etc. That would make things pretty interesting.

I'm just not into that kind of tv show. Doesn't excite me at all. I'd rather watch the show Dude You're Screwed. They send a person out to these remote, harsh locations with a few basic essentials and then total crap like a pink teddy bear and they have to survive

I've just finished the Naked and Afraid episode from Sunday, focking sand flies make you deformed, with the XL episode to go.

 

Inventory time.

 

Bad

Every survival show with Bear Grylls sucks. Seem like a nice enough fellow. He climbs a mountain/cliff in every episode for no reason. All risk, no reward.

 

Good
Naked and Afraid. Entertaining, Won't learn much in survival. Watch for the drama of nearly every chick going bonkers. Some contestants are vastly superior to others. But...it's always a tropical climate. Limits the options.

 

Marooned. Ed Stafford. Excellent stuff. He started out alone on an island for 60 days for 4 episodes. He's done another 8 stand alone episodes. Might have to torrent for a couple of foreign based episodes. Films himself. Bonus points for Marooned, as the cinematography is breathtaking at times. I was really struck by the episode at Northern Australia.

 

Survivorman The Godfather, Les Stroud. It's all good, all the time. All of the Survivormans, the 10 day Survivormans, the specials, the shows with his kid, the pilots, even the Bigfoot episodes. Les rules. Films himself.

 

Man, Woman, Wild. A boring knowledgable dude with a hot chick with a big rack. Well, she tends to be a bit too clingy and whiny. 2 seasons, and then a spinoff on Travel channel Lost Survivors. I recently binge watched MWW again, and really enjoyed them.

 

Dual Survival. Dave and Cody had awesome chemistry and the show was a lot of fun. Both have since been fired for bullsh!t. Dave faked his resume, Cody felt the show was taking too many risks in stunts. Enter Joe and Matt. Joe is a retard with the knowledge and skills of a 3 year old retard. Matt Graham is keeping the show alive with his vast skills and amiable personality to put up fucko Joe Fucko Teti, who also has been outed as faking his resume, with zero repercussions.

 

Man Tracker. Not a traditional survival show, as it's a ranger chasing people on a horse for 2 days mostly in Canada in a game show premise. Still interesting to take in the terrain and strategy.

 

Dude, You're Screwed!! Only two seasons, but a nice group of survivors laughing too hard at their own jokes, pulling pranks, and using stupid gadgets to moniter God knows what. Still, very knowledgeable people here, including the next Les Stroud in Matt Graham.

 

I've already mentioned Alone, The Island, and everything with Bear Grylls.

 

What did I miss?

They have Naked and Afraid in China too. It's about Chinese women who were sold into marriage to creepy white dudes.

This would make for a great line from 95% of the board but unfortunately/thankfully, I happen to remember that your dumb ass has a Chinese wife too. :cheers:

 

Others in the 5% are MTSkibum and Moz (for his ex).

So far, the only show like that That I think is worth a damn Is the last Alaskans. Because it is close to real as you can get. Literally, these will be the last people Who live In The Arctic National refuge. That, in and of itself is pretty fascinating.

I think his wife is from Palau, which was settled by Filipinos.

 

And my wife is half Japanese, a quarter Chinese, and a quarter Korean.

Naked and Afraid XL is becoming horsecrap.

 

Two of the groups catch box turtles. One group decides they don't need food, the other group has the turtle escape it's pen and it gets away. Never mind that in Columbia, it is illegal to kill turtle. So, they couldn't have eaten them anyway, but let's not skimp on drama. The producers took the turtle when they went to get water.

 

One survivor throws 5 survival items into the river in order to sabotage. Bad acting.

 

How do you go fishing, eat all the fish and not save anything for your third tribe member, and then be angry when they come back and say they don't want to be a part of your group anymore. You ate all the fish, you dopes. B!tches.

 

The whole show is less about survival and entirely focused on interpersonal drama. It's not that I'm not watching. It's just you can tell how staged the show is now. Production assistants getting involved behind the scenes. When you think back, how often did we see in the past starving people magically kill something to eat on day 19 when they needed some energy to make the treck to extraction in a day or two? They are probably slipping Snickers bars to the survivors in between takes.

 

Several seasons ago, this show started out pretty solid. Now, it's just low quality entertainment. And is the top rated cable show on Sundays, when TWD and GOT are on hiatus.
