About Naked and Afraid TV Show

The title of this series is enough to get you interested to watch it. The show may remind you of the biblical story of Adam and Eve, but in this case, the man and woman who were previously strangers are put in the wild for only 21 days. Their task is to survive these days without even the most basic necessities like shelter or clothes.

The Plot

This series is an American Reality drama series. In each episode, two people are placed in the wilderness and their task is to survive in any way they can. A general rule is that:

1. They must be naked,

2. They must be total strangers to each other.

While taking note of the dangers of the wilderness, each contestant is allowed to bring a favorite weapon along, which can be either a machete or a fire starter.

The Adventure Begins

Once the finalists have met each other, they must provide a makeshift shelter, some food and water.

So that they can document their adventure when the camera crew is not around, they are provided with a bag containing a personal diary, camera, and a map to be used at night.

You can see them wearing something like a necklace on their neck, this is actually a microphone, through which they can communicate with themselves and the production team. The camera team may not intervene unless there is a severe emergency, such as a medical emergency.

As you may have guessed, a team is allowed to opt out at any point of the game if they feel overwhelmed. If not, they must complete the task by arriving at the expected destination where they will be picked up by a helicopter or a boat.

For viewers who cannot keep up with the show, they can use the viewers update statistics that the producers have made available, this way they can know how each contestant is faring.

Reception of Naked Afraid

This show has gathered a mixed reaction from its audience ever since its inception, to some, this is the best reality show ever made. One fan commented that this show exposes how dogged humans can be, even without basic social amenities.

After spending years training and mastering skills of both physical and mental endurance, this summer, the toughest adventure-seekers in the world will leave the comforts of home and be dropped into the wildest survival challenge of their lives. From the dense rainforests of Ecuador, to the deadly plains of South Africa, survivalists will travel across the globe for the ultimate test of human endurance - surviving 21 days without clothes, food, or water. Their skills, willpower and determination will be tested like never before to fortify shelter, hunt and gather resources, and secure drinking water for the chance to prove they have what it takes to complete this adventure of a lifetime. But will they make it to the end? This season, newcomers, fans and veterans are taking on some of the most hostile environments known to man and come face-to-face with deadly predators, such as territorial baboons, aggressive water buffalo, caiman, jaguars, snakes, and poisonous bullet ants. All-stars Fernando Calderon & Dani Beauchemin return to a rainforest in Ecuador where they attempt to hunt for piranha with their bare hands, while a threesome pairing of two men and one woman will risk their lives in order to find food by scaling massive waterfall cliffs down to a beach. And for the first time, four survivalists from different countries will come together in South Africa for the ultimate international challenge - USA versus the World. In a challenge where you can bring nothing and must give your everything, these survivalists must overcome extreme tests of both mental and physical fitness in a battle between mankind and Mother Nature in its most primitive form.

Season 12

Renewed March 7th, 2021

While the world has gone into extended lockdown, adventure-seekers from across the world are taking on a true survival challenge where everything that is familiar - home, clothes, and ease of everyday life - is completely stripped away. From the bug-infested rainforests of Ecuador and the frigid peaks of the Colorado Rockies, to the apex predator hunting grounds of Namibia and the scorching desert of the US/Mexico border, this season of NAKED AND AFRAID sees survivalists who would rather take on some of the world's most dangerous environments than stay "safer at home." In each location, these survivalists must endure hostile climates, lurking predators, and a scarce food and water supply while undergoing the ultimate test of human endurance and willpower unlike anything they've experienced before. They come with nothing and give it everything -- and do it all while completely naked.This season, survivalists must overcome obstacles such as having to endure Africa's smallest but most aggressive predators imbedding themselves in survivalists' most private parts, a rainforest environment so difficult one survivalist re-evaluates his life and future with the girlfriend he has waiting back at home, and a generation-gap challenge that puts the stereotypes of millennials and old-school survivalists to the test.
