Naked and Afraid: Castaways

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.

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.

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?

The episode where the pelican came to them for help and they killed him was an issue for me. I understand it is a suvival issue, but they werent' that far into the competition to be starving and he came to them with trust for help and they held him captive until it was conveniient to "put him out of his misery". I understand hunting and survival, but had to turn the episode off I found it offensive. If they didn't want to assist him with his wing, they should have let nature take its course. Maybe not practical, but it broke my heart. Killing is not in my wheel house, but I will kill for food if necessary, I just can't take advantage of a helpless animal that comes to me for help.

PLease don't show this kind of situation again, I can't handle it. If they had hunted and took him down, so be it, this was very uncomfortable. Done with the show, and I'm a naked and afraid fan.

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!!!
