Naked and Afraid: Castaways

I always tune into these shows with the expectation that the participants will be brave and resourceful. Instead, they are all whining about no food, no water and no shelter. And the bickering makes me fast forward too much to want to finish the season. Didn't they know before going in, that life would be hard? I can't say that they are in literal danger when there is a medic and camera crew following them everywhere. The idea of being on a deserted appeals to me for some reason which is why I tuned in, but I'd really like to see people who are more up for the challenge. And better able to carry out the challenge.

I have always been a big fan of the Naked and Afraid series and have watched the spinoffs. I would have to say that Naked and Afraid: Castaways would definitely have to be my favourite in the spinoffs.

I love how this is literal survival, they are dumped on this deserted island and have nothing with them. No help to start fire, no machetes, no pots. Just them naked and their bags, not even a map to help them navigate their surroundings.

I am fully invested in this season, with already having my favourite trio.

If you love Naked and Afraid, then you will definitely love this version. I hope we get another season.

Yeah, each group happens across a novel item to start a fire with and a different wrecked vehicle to scrap for parts.

One gets a lens, one gets a mirror, one gets a broken lighter. Come on. Rather than pretend that this is all by chance which only demonstrates a contempt for your audience, you should be honest and just openly give them these items, or say that you've placed these items around their camps to find.

There is a lot of nonsense in Naked and Afraid but until now it has always been questionable how far they go. It's obvious that everyone always gets fed on the days before extraction. Obviously these creatures are placed down and survivors are directed to them or given hints.. but this show goes beyond that to straight-up insulting.

Glad to see the barehanded killer though.

Episode 3 edit: My goodness.. The group that is struggling the most just randomly happened to find a machete under some junk scrap metal. You've got to be kidding me. What are you doing, Naked and Afraid? Totally undermining your legitimacy.

You're even undermining survival. Naive city-dwellers might believe that they will find everything they need randomly lying about out in the wilderness. You are totally implicitly and dangerously misinforming these people. Why can't you just stick to the rules?

I've been applying for a spot on Naked and Afraid for over a year and a half now with no response,me as a Huge Super Fan and I know I speak for others that were tired of watching the same people getting to compete again and again like Matt and Gary and Jeff just to name a few. When people like myself are just itching to be given a chance to try and survive. Im.61 yrs old and still have alot to give, from the coast of Maine where the weather changes on a daily basis all I'm saying is give some of us Newbies a SHOT at Fame and Fortune to prove to our selves we have what it takes to be NAKED AND AFRAID!!!

Worst cast ever except Bulent. However, the rest of the cast were non-relevant. Andrew was a cry baby, Na'im was irritating. But the cast was the worst ever naked and afraid show. It was better past cast that would of made a better show. It looks like producers are just reaching for ratings and this was terrible. I hope if it is a next season they ask better past cast.
