TV Show "Naked and Afraid"

[countrygirl12]

I have heard about it.  I have never watched it and would never watch it.  And they are not in life threatening situations.  It is a TV show.  It's kind of like Survivor.  There are hundreds of people there besides the ones being filmed.  They aren't out there all by themselves.

michele- They don't get paid if it is a reality show.  I am not sure what it is exactly but if it is like Survivor they only "get paid" if they win the prize money at the end.

Running around naked and being filmed and that shown on television is just flat out wrong.  Have some dignity and pride in yourself.  Smh

They actually ARE in life threatening situations.  Even though there are camera people and medics in the area, there are often poisonous snakes, spiders, alligators, and bacteria that is lingering in many of those areas. Some of those snakes are the most poisonous in the world and you can die within an hour or so.  Have you ever heard of people who have been infected with flesh-eating bacteria from just being in a pond or lake.  Look at where some of those people are!  One participant was still recuperating from a bacterial condition months later.  Also, severe dehydration is no joke!  If you already have an undiagnosed condition, going without food and water for such an extended period could seriously aggrevate it.

I am pretty sure they have to have a physical before they go on these shows.  You have to be relatively healthy.  They would not accept someone for the show that had health issues.  My point is there is hundreds of people besides them right there.  There is a major difference in being bitten by a snake and help being already right beside you and being is a situation where you are in the middle of nowhere trying to survive with NO help in sight and actually surviving on your own.

I have not watched this show and have no interest in it.

I love nature films/documentaries and the like.....but to watch a show with naked people in the woods....No thanks!

I agree.  It's basically the same as Survivor without the million dollars at the end.  Oh, and they have no clothes on.  The fact that they are naked probably gets a lot of people to watch it.

I love to watch the show but try it? NO! But that is the fun part you get to see someone else go through it.
