Season 1 Review: Naked and Afraid has a forthright feel to it that borders on a psychological and physical study, even though participants remain with a production crew, unlike the grueling series Survivorman, which featured just one man with a camera. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s interesting, weird, enjoyable and not like anything you’ve ever seen on TV before. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As show titles go, Naked and Afraid is inspired. Better still, the new Discovery series is even more entertaining than its title. Read full review

Season 1 Review: What ensues is pretty typical of the genre, but it’s still kind of a risible kick, if only for how seriously the show takes itself. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The experience looks very difficult, but also a little boring, which explains the need for the in-your-face title: “Filthy and Exhausted” just doesn’t have the same ring. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The title turns out to be pretty accurate. These two strangers, both versed in survival training, are sent into the dense Costa Rican jungle with a knife and a firestarter. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even if all of their naughty bits weren't pixilated--it's still a bonanza for backside gazing, just saying--they soon become so grimy, gaunt and downright miserable as they starve and shiver for days on end that it's all about as arousing as a labor camp death march.

Like many reality shows 'reality' isn't such a big part of the show itself. Just finished episode one of season fourteen where Shanika a POC wins the challenge after the male of no colour gives up in such a hammy way the whole thing felt scripted to fit the new woke agenda. Shanika slowlyLike many reality shows 'reality' isn't such a big part of the show itself. Just finished episode one of season fourteen where Shanika a POC wins the challenge after the male of no colour gives up in such a hammy way the whole thing felt scripted to fit the new woke agenda. Shanika slowly ambles about and barely breaks a sweat, and being a large gal didn't have to eat anything for the 3 weeks except for some roots she cooked up like a soup. Chalk this one up to the progressive message and fake reality tv at its worst - 1 naked star… Expand
