Naked and Afraid Audience Reviews

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
MiketheWhistle Watching an ep that's not available to comment on but it has a theme that's throughout. Why do people get mad and criticize the number of partners that agreeably stupidly choose a bow drill, but couldn't they too had brought a fire starter?
tbartif I just watched N&A Croatia and while the girl did have bad burns If they were 3rd degree burns they would not have been painful. When a burn is a severe third degree everything is destroyed including The nerves. She probably had second degree burns which are painful. I would like to see her and this guy try it again together. I think that these two Are very good together and it's too bad that she had to tap out so early. I think if the medics could have helped her keep the burns clean and give Her something for pain just for a few days, she would not have had to Tap out so soon. I assume the medics carry morphine or something for Pain so I just think it could have helped her stay in the competition.
CherryBlossomBoy This is one of those misfortunate crossovers that sound interesting on paper but don't really make it in reality. Survivalism meets nudity. I don't know what kind of niche group of people might get off on that, but it sure ain't fans of erotic shows or fans of survival shows.First let's get to the obvious - the nudity. Other than being a gimmick to lure a viewer or two there is no rationale for two people to start their three-week voyage in the nude. Are they emulating our ancient ancestors? That's just ridiculous, Adam and Eve were not our ancestors - they are fictional characters! Our true ancestors, the primates, didn't appear in the nature out of the blue and in the nude like that. They had fur. Then, as the evolution progressed they gradually lost more and more bodily hair and it interacted with having them utilize more and more variety of clothing. So, okay, it's a gratuitous gimmick but it might have been fun if they didn't pixelate their genitalia. I mean, come on! Watching a show with half of my screen constantly smeared isn't fun. I know my TV isn't defective. Defective are the heads of people in the audience that might object to a naked human body and of the producers who get on with an idea like this knowing they'll have to spoil the picture quality to please the stupid prudes. The only fun thing that remains is watching how awkwardly the two behave in the first minutes they meet. After that I'm switching to Hustler TV.After that first five minutes of the episode there is really nothing worth seeing in the show. Survivalist shows are a dime a dozen by now and this one is actually pretty below par. The protagonists look uncomfortable (who could blame them, right?), slow and pretty incompetent. They are also usually not in a very good physical shape - hardly an "eye candy" supposed to distract from the lack of substance. They also do that ridiculous segment of being taken on the side to do a quick interview for the camera to explain what's going on. Since the production crew, presumably, isn't supposed to interact with the pair, doing the interview is a gross breach of that rule. What happens when the pair gets dehidrated or has a sunstroke? Does the crew interview them like that or do they provide them with medical care first? And wouldn't that be another breach of non-intervention?But ultimately, who cares? It's all fake anyhow and I'm not dumb enough to watch it. The only thing that interests me is - can they get any lower? How low can the bar be set for "reality TV" and what will they come up with next? In terms of survival shows I think they should try to abduct a school bus full of children, leave them stranded in Sahara and film them trying to get out. That'd be fun.
tnic-83899 I never watched this program until this year (2015) and I found myself "binge watching" most of the episodes over a couple of weekends. The show is like eating potato chips. You can't watch just one, so if you are DVR-ing, you will probably do what I did and watch perhaps four in a sitting. But I'm a skeptic, and when you watch a bunch of these in one sitting, certain patterns emerge. There's more to this show than meets the eye. In three of the episodes that I watched this weekend, someone conveniently finds an old metal pot, which is interesting because it doesn't make sense that a pot would just magically appear, like the holy grail, in the snake-infested muck of a Louisiana bayou, or in an alligator-infested river in Botswana? If you don't have access to potable water, you're not going to make it to 21 days and this is an expensive production. "Look at that! A pot! I can't believe it! Now we can boil water!" Also, it seems each person can only bring one tool for the trip, which in most cases is a knife and a fire starter. (Lol, how odd that they NEVER each bring the same thing, like, "Darn, I brought a fire starter too!! Now what are we going to do?") And while it is fun to see the scary animals lurking in the bushes, you will never see a shot of a lion or hyena in the same frame as the people. Hyenas are opportunistic feeders who select the easiest and most attractive food. Are you telling me that these two naked and unarmed humans would not be a tasty snack? How dangerous are these places, for real? Is there actually a resort a few yards away that you can't see? I mean, really, would the producers spend all that money on one episode, only to leave the participants in their little shelters at night, with no protection, and go back to their cozy campsite, only to return in the morning to find that they'd been devoured by a lion? I don't think so. I could pull off a version of this show in my own back yard, sit naked in a patch of trees between my house and my neighbor's for 21 days, digging a hole for water and catching termites, grasshoppers and squirrels to eat. You would never know my house was 20 feet in front of me. But I do like this show. In fact, I am giving it a 6 out of 10. In addition to being entertaining, it is educational and actually a fascinating concept. You can learn a lot about survival techniques from this show, and the scenery is beautiful. I just think you have to keep an open mind and take it for what it is, or isn't.
