New Season Naked and Afraid | The Woodsman Hut | Forums

This might be my favorite survival show.  Having said that, I was really psyched for this new season, and overall thought last night's episode was meh.  Not sure why.  I would love it if they showed the guy who tapped out before he even got there.    That fire starter they were using in the beginning SUCKS ASS!!!  I have one, and it's horrible.  On paper, it seems like a good idea, but it's bad.  I didn't expect much from the first couple.  They were behind the 8 ball from the beginning with the rain and lack of fire,  and just went down hill from there

lol, what happened to the first guy? he didn’t even get off the boat

I'm not exactly sure how it went down, but yeah, after they dropped off the woman, they talked about how the Amazon already claimed it's first victim when male contestant had a change of heart.  Not sure if he made it to the Amazon, or bailed before he even left, but it's still interesting.  So the guy that was on there was a fill in.

I'm just amazed at the people who do this, especially a second time.  To the best of my knowledge, there's no money involved.  I can understand wanting to challenge yourself and do it once, but twice???  Especially when you listen to them on the After Show when they say it takes about 90 days for your body to recover, screws with your metabolism, etc.  Just doesn't make sense to me.  Hell even if they do Bushcraft for a living, doesn't seem like there's enough "advertising" to justify doing it twice.
