Discovery Channel's Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing is returning to TV for Season 3 on May 18, and it promises to be one of the toughest challenges yet. Cameras will follow 14 veteran survivalists, who must have already competed in at least two previous Naked and Afraid challenges, as they compete for a $100,000 cash prize and the honor of being crowned champion.

No Naked and Afraid challenge is designed to be easy, but heading to the Australian Outback may prove to be particularly harsh with the combination of adverse weather conditions and venomous snakes. Contestants will initially navigate these conditions without food, water, or clothing. But what do they need to do to be in with a shot at winning?

Ahead of the release of the new season,...

The Traitors continues to raise the stakes with every season, and the Season 3 opener of the Peacock reality TV competition series featured a twist that tested the format like never before to show how dynamic it can be.

During the premiere, the faithful were greeted with a decision as they arrived at Andross Castle. Survivor legend Boston Rob wanted in on the game, but only the faithful would decide if he would join them or be banished.

Knowing the mastermind of a game player that Rob is, the faithful ultimately opted not to vote him in; however, he would later show up inside a cage and enter the game as a traitor.

“I think that’s the thing about this show [that] there’s such intricate planning that goes into all of this, and we’ve thought through every different scenario that could spread throughout it,” executive producer Rosie Franks said...

14 elite survivalists will head to the Australian Outback for season three of Discovery Channel’s Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing. The new season marks the first time fan favorites will compete against each other in the Outback. Season one took place in South Africa’s Oribi Gorge, and season two’s competition was held in Africa’s Munzwa Valley.

Season three will premiere on May 18, 2025, with new episodes airing on Sundays at 8pm Et/Pt.

The 14 returning Naked and Afraid competitors will be competing for a 10.0 Primitive Survival Rating and the $100,000 grand prize. Discovery promises this new season will feature the “most shocking elimination ever seen in the franchise” as well as legacy-defining moments.

For a competition series like The Traitors, it’s important for cinematographers Siggi Rosen-Rawlings and Matt Wright to keep the players as immersed in the game as possible. While the players compete in a series of challenges and conspire with each other to root out the traitors, the pair is hard at work making sure they remain as out of the way as possible… while also keeping track of where the drama is happening.

This season of The Traitors has some of reality TV’s biggest stars coming together to play the psychological competition game of treachery and deceit, along with host Alan Cumming. The series was nominated for four Emmys, including Outstanding Cinematography for “The Funeral”, which both Wright and Rosen-Rawlings say was one of the most theatrical episodes that showed off the skills of every department.

Matt Wright is making waves on Naked and Afraid, but there is more to know about him than what has been revealed on screen.

Starting in 2013, Naked and Afraid highlights pairs of survivalists whose first interaction is with both naked. They are challenged to survive in the wilderness for three weeks, and each person is allowed one item to help them in their quest.

Longtime survivalist Matt Wright, who has made a living from surviving harsh conditions, is featured in Season 17.

A couple has marked Valentine’s Day in unforgettable fashion by getting engaged live on This Morning.

The soon-to-be-newlyweds appeared on Tuesday’s edition (14 February) of the ITV daytime programme in a special segment, dedicated to romance.

Dan had arranged to publicly ask his partner Ellen to marry him with the This Morning producers ahead of time.

Unbeknownst to Ellen, secret cameras were placed inside a London café where they were having breakfast.

Then, at a crucial moment, fellow customers revealed the words “will you marry me?” under their shirts, as Dan dropped to his knee.

“Since the day I met you Ellen, you make me happy, so happy every day,” Dan began his speech, before referring to their child.

“You’re the perfect mum to Arthur, and I just want to spend the rest of my life with you – which is why I want to ask you to marry me.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield cracked up laughing at a photo posted by Grant Shapps that appears to have airbrushed out Boris Johnson.

Posting on Twitter this week, business secretary Shapps shared an image showing him and two officials in front of a Virgin rocket at the spaceport in Newquay, Cornwall.

However, eagle-eyed Twitter users noticed that the former prime minister had featured in the original photo, which was taken in June 2021, but appeared to have been photoshopped out of the image.

Shapps has since deleted the tweet, with a source telling The Guardian that he hadn’t been aware the image had been edited when he posted it.

“Obviously he wouldn’t endorse anyone rewriting history by removing the former Pm from a picture,” they said, adding that Shapps was “proud to serve in Boris’s government”.

The two images were shown one after another on Wednesday’s episode (11 January) of This Morning,...

Cricket legend Kevin Pietersen & Petronel Nieuwoudt (founder of Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary) are interviewed by Rich Phippen for their new TV show Save this Rhino airing on National Geographic channel.

Former English cricket captain, Kevin Pietersen, shines a light on the world’s critically endangered rhinoceros population, currently on a path to extinction by 2025, and looks into the hard work of dedicated conservationists to save these gentle giants.

This brand new emotional two-part series follows Kevin, National Geographic’s own outback wrangler Matt Wright, and South African cricket legend Graeme Smith, as they meet the victims of poaching through the story of an orphan baby rhino named Arthur. Arthur’s mother was brutally killed in front of him by poachers, and he was left injured next to her dying body.

At the centre of this critical story are the courageous men and women fighting this war. Petronel Nieuwoudt, founder...

There has been a lot of drama in this season of Naked and Afraid Xl.

Literally hours after he stripped down in Ecuador, participant Charlie Frattini severely twisted his knee while gathering firewood. It was the first of four foot injuries that resulted in people leaving the adventure. Matt Alexander left after his foot was injured. Lacey Jones then hurt her knee and was evacuated.

But none of the injuries were as devastating as Day 20, when the tribe’s main provider Matt Wright got a flesh-eating bacteria in his foot, a development that could have resulted in amputation or even death.

By all accounts, Matt Wright was the tribe leader on Season 3 of Naked and Afraid Xl. An avid hunter, he caught the first big game animal in the show’s history, a wild boar. He was admired by the rest of the participants as he helped minimize drama and maximize cooperation.

Wright, 34, was a Naked and Afraid veteran. He survived 21 days naked in Thailand during the miserable rainy season with partner Lindsay Boisclair. He later had a Naked and Afraid experience in Belize with People’s Steve Helling. He seemed well-positioned to complete 40 days in Ecuador.

But it wasn’t meant to be.

Naked and Afraid Xl continues on Sunday night. The show started out with 9 people, but multiple injuries have forced three paritipants to either quit or be evacuated. In last week’s episode, two of the men went exploring — and came across a camp with two women.

So how did they get along? There’s an exclusive clip above, and we got some inside info from Naked and Afraid participant Matt Wright. He shares with People what it’s like for two naked men to meet two naked women in the rainforest.

The first few minutes of Naked and Afraid are always awkward.

Naked and Afraid Xl continues on Sunday night, and by all accounts, it looks brutal. In the preview above, we see another leg injury. Will the third participant leave the show?

At this point, the hunger is beginning to set in. The participants haven’t had a square meal, and their bodies are beginning to shut down. Although the show casts avid hunters on the show, no one has ever gotten a big-game animal to feed themselves — until last week.

Veteran Naked and Afraid participant Matt Wright managed to get a huge pig — and then he had a frightening standoff with a wild boar.

Naked and Afraid Xl continues on Sunday night, and the show is down to just seven participants after two of the males left the show. (One broke his knee, and the other one tapped out after an injury.) The four women and three men left in the adventure may soon be joined by visitors, but the Discovery Channel isn’t telling us who.

For the survivalists, the hard part is just beginning. The adrenaline of the first day has evaporated, and now it’s time to figure out a survival strategy.

Because we can’t possibly know what this is like (and frankly,...

Naked and Afraid Xl premieres on Sunday night, meaning that nine new survivalists will be dropped off in Ecuador’s treacherous Amazon basin, 100 miles from the closest city. For 40 days, the participants will struggle to find food, water and shelter in one of the most grueling and unforgiving environments on earth. (They’re initially split up into three groups, but they’ll soon merge together.)

Only a select few people truly understand the hardships of doing the show, so we’ve asked veteran Naked and Afraid participant Matt Wright to share his experiences this season. Here are his recollections of the beginning of his adventure.

The bride wore cowboy boots and a tailored white dress. The groom also wore clothes.

Naked and Afraid's Matt Wright tied the knot with Brooke Benham on June 25. The ceremony was held at a secluded pond that reflected the Rocky Mountains. The couple exchanged vows under an archway that they made themselves, using fresh aspen trees and antlers that had been shed by elk last winter.

Wright, 33, had proposed to Benham while he was filming the show in Thailand. Earlier this year, he went with People on a Naked and Afraid experience with in Belize.

The post Recap: Naked and Afraid Thailand, “Hell or High Water” appeared first on Channel Guide Magazine.

There's a first time for everything, including a proposal on Naked and Afraid. Matt Wright, 33, was having a rough go of it on the Discovery Channel series, he has lost his fish trap and hasn't had any success hunting frogs to eat. "I've been failing at everything I try to do today. I would say morale is probably at an all-time low right now," he says in the preview video above. So he turns to a note his girlfriend, Brooke Benham gave him for the naked journey in Thailand. He was there along with Lindsay Bossclair. Production on the episode was very extreme, at one point weather, including a torrential downpour, separated the participants from the production crew. The hidden message from Brooke at...

When you're on Naked and Afraid, you have a lot of time to think.

Participants are dropped into some of the world's harshest locations for 21 days, armed with only one survival item. Despite having to build a shelter, collect firewood and hunt for food, participants still have a lot of downtime.

Colorado survivalist Matt Wright had a rough go while filming the show in Thailand. It constantly rained, causing the river to swell. He and his partner were separated from the production crew for several days.

After a particularly bad day in the jungle, Wright began thinking of his girlfriend,...
