Naked and Afraid XL

This show is socialism at it's very best, and that's not saying much for it. You can see how fast lazy people take advantage of the workers, and it happens every season. My husband and I love this show because every time we hear people talking about how much they would love to have a socialist society, we think of how well it works out with just these small groups of people. There are always lazy people ready to take advantage of worker bees, regardless, love the show, watch every episode.

This show is a must watch- very entertaining when they have tribes. Love the all female team gettin it done! The dynamics are perfect for entertainment and love of the outdoors. I can't wait for it to be on each week. Great show

Trish the worthless cast member is back. She was mean in season 8 and barely survived. In season 9 she is back to her old ways of laying around making everyone else take care of her. The other cast members are great and show their survival skills. Great show.

My husband and I watch the show and we love how you create monsters out of the people who are participates. We always pick out the ones that we love to hate. The number 1 contestant that we loved to hate was Alana (we referred to her as 'Red").

Laura, Luke, Chris, Eva, Alana and especially annoying Danielle we thought were real a**holes in the way that they treated Dani & Shane. They were not leaders. They teamed up on Dani & Shane & Honora and proved that they were a total waste of space, their egos got the better of them and it was really pathetic.

Luke called himself a hippie when he was acting like a real jerk by following in Chris's ways, he was showing no love & he calls himself a counselor?

What they did to Dani was unconscionable.

In the first incarnation of "Naked and Afraid", it seemed like a series of long endurance tests. Most of the individuals either tapped out or were miserable for the entire 21 day experience.

"Naked and Afraid XL" is different. The 12 survivalists are dropped into a harsh area of Colombia where the daily temperatures routinely reach 105 degrees. They start as 4 teams of three. Although there are hardships--especially at the beginning--they fare fairly well. A local survival expert had predicted that most of them would not last 20 days, let alone the 40 day goal. But at the end of 20 days, only two had tapped out.

What makes this show better is the large number of people involved. Much more is happening and there are a variety of experiences. Some of the most interesting moments come from unexpected interactions between the participants.
