Discuss Anything About Naked and Afraid Here
Naked and Afraid takes "survival of the fittest" to the next level. Each week, a new pair of complete and total strangers - one man and one woman - will find themselves stranded in and, quite literally, exposed to some of the world's most extreme weather environments. Each duo will be left high and dry with no food, no water...and no clothes. They must survive on their own for a full 21 days, with nothing but one personal item each and the knowledge that the only prize is their pride and sense of accomplishment.
In Naked and Afraid, these brazen and bold couples will get acquainted with each other and their new surroundings very quickly, forcing them to question and test everything they may think they know about their acquired survival skills and instincts.
Will the nude castaways have the brains and brawn to endure the harsh conditions? Or will the challenges prove to be overbare-ing? Watch as each couple battles the elements, each other, and their own inner weakness to see who will triumph over the terrain or fail under the force of nature.

Kim and Shane being tasked with surviving 21 days in the Costa Rican jungle totally naked was strange as they are total stranger but Kim suggesting they check each other out first was amusing, pouring rain starting day two for three days must of been hard but at leased she was able to make something to wear and leaving the fire unattended was a close call for Shane

After watching the first episode it's obvious each episode covers a different couple struggle for 21 days, EJ and Kellie being the next couple was interesting as how different they coped to the first couple but they were dropped off in Tanzania which was a lot hotter, EJ making fun of Kellie because she was fishing by sitting in the water with her legs apart was amusing as she was the one who caught the fish Author: codebreaker Time: 9-18-2013 15:05 Subject: 1x03 Island From Hell
The third couple stranded on a Maldivian island was nice but Alison's laid back attitude was bound to rub Jonathan the wrong way as he's a former Marine, Jonathan getting sunburnt because of the extreme heat wasn't good but complaining about Alison only getting coconut when he's done nothing for three days was selfish Author: codebreaker Time: 9-18-2013 15:38 Subject: 1x04 Punishment in Panama
Clint and Laura being tormented by sand flies, snakes and crocodiles will make their stay on a Panamanian island will be a little more risky but Laura catching two lobsters when Clint thought it was a wast of time was great Author: codebreaker Time: 9-18-2013 16:08 Subject: 1x05 Breaking Borneo
Puma and Julie being shipped off to Borneo was interesting and with Julie being over six feet tall should make things easier but with Puma getting ill from probable drinking contaminated water leaving Julie to survive alone made it twice as hard and what a shame she only managed 18 days Author: codebreaker Time: 9-19-2013 00:53 Subject: 1x06 Beware the Bayou
Billy and Ky being left in Louisiana with venomous snakes and alligators makes this another challenging experience but Billy complaining what the cold water was effecting was amusing and the weather washing away their camp made things twice as hard as they had to build a fire above the water Author: codebreaker Time: 9-19-2013 01:27 Subject: 1x07 Bares All
Finding a snake inside another snake was a surprise but the whole cast and their families giving their insight to their experience was interesting Author: codebreaker Time: 7-21-2014 11:03 Subject: 1x08 Special Double Jeopardy
Manu and Russell were a lot more comfortable being naked than Cassie and Forrest and the fact never couple knows about the other was interesting as they eventually meet at the water fall but I wasn't surprised Cassie and Forrest were butting heads after their shelter collapsed, it didn't take long before the other couple got fed up with Cassie and Manu contracting dengue fever was sad Author: codebreaker Time: 7-21-2014 11:45 Subject: 1x09 Bares All 2
Recap of the last episode was a little pointless but the extra footage of the unseen and wild moments of two pairs of strangers was nice, finding out a little more about Manu's life threatening illness was interesting but Russell warning Manu he wakes up with a hard on was amusing and Cassie standing in Russell's poo was priceless Author: codebreaker Time: 7-21-2014 11:47
Amanda and Tyler being unable to survive in the Amazon rainforest was unfortunate but the fact Tyler who replased the original survivor who didn't even start made it a triple tragedy, EJ and Laura from last season arrive to complete AK and Tyler's 21 day journey was different Author: codebreaker Time: 7-21-2014 12:28
Jeff and Eva testing their survival skills in the harsh desert of Madagascar was a lot different from the rain of the Amazon and with Eva not keen on killing animals was going to make it more challenging but black widows and scorpions occupying the the cave made their stay more risky their inability to cook snakes was surprising Author: codebreaker Time: 7-21-2014 13:06
Fiji at first looks was beautiful but Alana and Keith having a deserted island all to them selves was no picnic but Alana having to finish on her own after Keith was hospitalised was awesome as she was the first to finish alone Author: codebreaker Time: 7-21-2014 23:18
Shannon and Cass being challenged to survive in the flooded jungle of Belize was interesting as they have very little in common and the lack of food they were lucky to stay the 21 days Author: codebreaker Time: 7-21-2014 23:55
Samantha and Fernando had it tough with the relentless storms in the Malaysia rain forest and Fernando motivating Samantha to do some exercise to keep warm was nice but catching their first snake only to throw it away because everything was to wet to make a fire was sad as it had been over a week, Samantha returning the favour when Fernando became ill was great Author: codebreaker Time: 7-22-2014 04:57
Sabrina and Vincent having to survive and face flash floods and heat exhaustion in the Bolivia jungle was challenging but Vincent going of on his own without letting Sabrina know could of been dangerous as if he got into trouble she couldn't help and Vincent quitting after 16 days was sad and Sabrina being rushed to hospital one day short was tragic Author: codebreaker Time: 7-22-2014 05:41
Pulling back the curtain to show how this epic adventure is created for the first time was interesting as the crew may be clothed but they are still prone to injuries

Lindsey and Luke being dropped into the dry landscape of Africa’s Namibia looked challenging with the thorny and using as much as they could from the dead dear looked horrible but taking a week to light a fire was surprising, Lindsey killing the bird in her hands must of been tough

Dani and Justin testing their their primitive skills on the razor sharp terrain of Andros Island in the Bahamas was interesting but Justin refusing to eat the fish Dani caught was a little childish

Carrie and Tom facing extreme heat and crocodile-filled waters in the Cambodian jungle was challenging but Carrie getting annoyed with Tom after loosing the boiled water was understandable

Jaclyn and Adam having to battle freezing nights and severe dehydration in the Nicaraguan rainforest was going to be challenging with one being a vegetarian while the other is a meat eater

Tom and Lisa being dropped off in the Yungas Cloud Forest in Argentina was brave as they were warned about the bad weather conditions but Tom cutting himself was surprising as he does this for a living and the fact the rain has limited their food supply just made it even harder

Phaedra drinking contaminated water was careless but glad the apologised to Hakim for her behaviour and Hakim willing to eat a bird they found dead was just as risky but making it to the end considering her illness was impressive

Nice recap with some never before seen footage but Jaclyn urge to do a headstand without making it x rated was amusing and Dani and Justin discuss naming their private parts was priceless Author: codebreaker Time: 8-28-2014 03:48
A episode dedicated to showing highlights from the series all about the deadly snakes was fascinating as there were a lot of different killer snakes and the executive producer still being treated for a snake bit a year later was surprising Author: codebreaker Time: 9-5-2014 05:05
Joshua bringing duct tape was surprising and the fact he's using this time to quit smoking was going to make things more difficult for him but at least Amanda bringing a machete they can cut timber, the duct tape bikini was impressive and Joshua tapping out after being sick for two days made sense but Amanda having 16 days to survive alone was going to be tough on her

Ashley tapping out on day three was surprising and leaving Michael alone for the longest time on the series was going to be really tough but tapping out on day twelve was understandable

Honora being worried if Matt can keep up with her as he's a little over weight was surprising and a little rude but at leased she did apologise before being rushed to hospital after passing out

The couples trying to keep eye contact when they first meet was amusing and some of the guys having the shrivel effect in the cold or an erection in the morning was priceless but stepping in your partners mess has to be the worst thing ever Author: codebreaker Time: 4-21-2015 10:10

James and Seth taking part in this special was different as they expected to have a women as their partner but asking the camera crew for help was amusing

I can never understand why you watch shows like this Author: wanted Time: 10-7-2023 17:05 Subject: I watch this show in the hope of learning something
but other than what NOT to do, I've never seen anything. They dont even know to use alternative Swedish torch fire lays to ignite Siberian fire lays and heat rocks to put under their bedding They dont know what items to take, much less what to do or in what order to get them done. They need to each take a 2 person hammock. One needs to be a solid material hammock, waterproof sprayed while still at home and the other hammock needs to be a 2 person cotton-rope type. Of the items offered by the producers, they should take the machete. The sheet hammock becomes your tent, breech clout, shoulder cape (if needed vs the sun) water container, liner for your stone-boiling pit, The cotton rope hammock gets unraveled, as does the rope and the rope strands. The 44 threads are then re-spun into 6 thread string, used to make netting. The netting can be stuffed with dry debris to form blankets, cover the ends of the hammock-tent. The sheet hammocks are all pretty much 10x6 ft in size. So you can cut a 3.5 x6 ft hunk off of one end, to make all of the other needed items. If you have dry conditions and soft, non coniferous wood, , it's very easy to start a fire with the fire-saw. If youre not that lucky, you'll have to devote 2-3 hours to making a big pump drill. Then you can easily make fire, with any sort of wood, no matter how wet it is. Almost none of them have known to even bury their coals in the ashes, of a foot deep pit, with a small, movable primitive shelter to put over the ashes pit and a trench around it to lead rain-water away from the pit. Kid stuff, man.

and an alternative swedish fire torch to ignite the siberian (if all is wet). They dont know to bury their coals in their ashes, with a small, portable primitive A frame shelter for the fire pit and a trench around it, to protect it from rain. Then they could sleep in peace, assured that the fire would be re-igniable in the morning. They dont know to heat rocks and bury them under their shelter when they go to sleep, and to wrap debris around hot stones, to put inside of their shelter with them. Author: wanted Time: 10-7-2023 20:48 Subject: They need to each bring a hammock.
one being a solid fabric type, waterproof sprayed at home, so it can become their tent, liner for their stone-boiling pit and water storage liner/basket. The other hammock should be a cotton rope type, for a cordage source. Unravel it, unravel the rope and the strands and you can make 1200 sq ft of 2" mesh netting. used as a seine and a couple of baited weirs, it will feed you any place with a body of water and fish. Netting can also be wrapped around stick boxgrames, and used to catch birds, crabs, rabbits, crayfish, even snakes.. cordage can be wrapped around a stick (longways) and then sewn, forming the sole of a sandal, which you badly need on this challenge. out of the items offered you by the producers, take the machete. In 2-3 hours, you can make the big pump drill needed to always, easily get friction fire.
