First of all, id like to know who here watches the show naked and afraid? I think its on discovery channel but not sure, ive watched a few episodes but cant watch much tv, busy a lot, anyway, who watches it? and who thinks that they should not blur out any aspects of the show? and also, who would actually like to try something of the sort some day? survival with no clothes, and only being allowed to bring ONE item of choice, if you wanna try it some day, what item would you bring and why? there is a lot of ways to respond so get at it. peace

you could bring the laptop, but that means no charger, no spare battery, nothing, just the laptop, but ill give you a little help and say that it has a full charge

One of my friends Michael Connolly who helps run the Nudism group on Facebook is entering for it. I've known him for the last few years, so I hope he'll get in. :)
-
I just watched a few episodes of Naked and Afraid last night and it was a fairly interesting show. It aired on Discovery and it is a very interesting show, but unfortunately, they still use the stupid blur boxes.

Well Mark, let's see how strong and clever you are to live for 7 days first up at PSF without a mobile phone, laptop, or any other communication device (except maybe a brick mobile phone which just makes phone calls and nothing else). I have two Philips Fizz phones at home, so I can lend you one for the trip.
You'd have to bring your own food to cook, and we take it in turns to cook for all of us (you, me and anybody else up for the challenge).
You will need to bring a diary and make a daily entry of your time there, and do a 'before and after' video interview - I'll bring my camcorder with me.
I have a couple of people in mind whom I'd like to ask to accompany us, as they are into 'alternative' living and culture and they actually are friends with a nudist couple I met some years back in Loganholme.
I reckon you'll do it, and it'd help you exponentially to become independent and self-sufficient. :)

Does anyone know if they ever have uncensored episodes somewhere? Or is that something the contestant don't want so it doesn't happen? How do you win? What do you win on the show?
-
I've downloaded a few episodes and I like it - not sure I would try it myself. I'm pretty confident I could make it for a month without tapping out but I'd be a hurtin' unit by the end of it.
It's nice to see some of the techniques they use and to see how they fail and it's also nice to see when the women fare better than the men (thrive even - as in the case of the surfer girl). I just wish that one dumbass got out of the sun sooner before he got first degree burns - even if he just used some palm fronds as a parasol to continue hiking. He started turning red the second he got off the boat.
I'd love to see them do an episode here in the winter time. ;)
Anyway - cool show - I would say.

I don't know of any uncensored episodes. And they win by not dying. Or more accurately, quitting the show. All they win is bragging rights, getting on TV and their 15 minutes.

It's a neat show, but I'd never do something like it myself. I like camping and nudity but if I'm camping I want at minimum:
Shoes
A sleeping bag
Bug spray
Sunscreen
Food

They don't win a trophy or a big check? I guess they get some $$ for being on tv.

id bring a purifyin pump love the show

I dunno. It just seems like another dumb staged reality show, except everyone is naked. I don't think it's going to change very many people's minds about naturism either. I like that a lot of the participants said that they're not self-conscious though.
-
Are there any educational shows on educational channels anymore? The History Channel is nothing but pawn shop bullshit and antique buying. TLC use to stand for "The Learning Channel" but now only shows that Honey Booboo shit. And the Discovery Channel is full of staged "reality" shows. Except for Mayday, and Mythbusters, all they ever air is: Overhaulin', Fast and Loud, Sons of Gun (all variations on the car modification reality show). I use to like Deadliest Catch, but this past season has become so obviously staged and scripted it's unwatchable. Then there are the shit shows with the same Deadliest Catch formula but are about gold digging, logging or oil drilling. And now Naked and Afraid, in it's second season. I only watch it if there is nothing else to do before bed time, and only then I channel surf through most of it. I am so sick of these stupid shows where the producers deliberately hire incompatible people just for some contrived drama. The last episode of Naked and Afraid I saw had some California hippie chick, and a redneck southern good ol' boy. And of course they clashed the whole episode. Plus the fact that they blur everything except their butts, which to me, is just bad to look at. TV is seriously regressing, how can the same network that use to air The Sex Files back in the early 2000's be the same one that makes Naked and Afraid now? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sex_Files (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sex_Files). Discovery also had Bear Grylls' Man Vs Wild show, sure there was some staged stuff in that show, but it was never as bad as the stuff on today. Man vs Wild actually taught survival skills that one could use if one found one's self in a similar situation. Naked and Afraid just shows a naked man and woman mostly just arguing for 21 days, until they finally work together in the end.

I think it's a really interesting show and I'm glad it has become popular among the general public
-
Turns out both my grandma and mum watched a few of Naked and afraid Grandma found it got a bit tedious and didn't like the bluring and mum went into her little rant about US TV bluring especially butt crack bluring and how are people so fragile that they can't handle a little butt crack :moon
-
Watching an episode of the show reminded me of a time when four friends and I went camping near a creek when we were about 12 years old. We made an obstacle course out of fallen trees and a huge steep hill that was entirely mud and stopped at the water. We stripped naked and ran through the creek and up the hill in a race. It took numerous attempts to climb the hill because it was so slippery we kept sliding back to the bottom. We looked just like the contestants on that show, all covered in mud from head to toe and naked as the day we were born.
-
I think its a good show, can be bit repetitive (discovery for you)

Some mornings on History they air real shows, like Civil War Journal and Modern Marvels.
So, History channel is like MTV? They only show what they are supposed to show when everyone is still asleep. That's the only time you can catch any music videos on MTV as far as I can tell.
-
been wondering about this show - from what others write I dont really get a sense whether its worth watching? :undecided:
-
I love this show. I wish it wasn't blurred but it is the most natural nudism show out there they are forced to be nude and most do and some cover up with their bags or leaves.
It's so cool but i couldnt last with snakes and the desert heat.

I liked the season where they introduced numerous pairs of survivalists into a single habitat in various places and let them come across each other and form bigger groups.
Some pairs broke up and bigger groups were forming while smaller ones also remained towards the end. Group effort actual pondering if their current area of residence had enough resources to sustain them and if they should try to explore further and relocate into unfamiliar places. It just became more - interesting.
It was Naked and Afraid XL - and I saw just one season that they aired here in Finland. It seems there are three seasons.
-
I just saw they made them available on hulu, gonna binge watch soon.

I'm a big fan of Naked and Marooned with Ed Stafford. It ran for 3 seasons where he would be dropped off naked in different locations for a week at a time with nothing more than a camera pack and a first aid kit. His aim was to live off the land for the time he was there from making make-shift shoes and usually some kind of grass skirt, to making a fire out of rubbing sticks or finding the right stones to strike together and using self-made traps for food. He came across as being more genuine than Bear Grills, especially after he was exposed over-dramatising a lot of his stuff.
He's not doing the series anymore and the last one that he did was Ed Stafford: Into The Unknown but that one has finished now too. It seems that these days The Discovery Channel isn't so concerned with making informative shows any more, after cutting the funding for Mythbusters, before finally deciding to cancel the show. I've heard there's the White Rabbit Project now hosted by the past junior Mythbusters Carrie, Grant and Tory on Netflix but I haven't seen any of it.
I also used to watch Ray Mears back in the day!
-
Can't remember who it is now, but a celebrity said they were gong to audition for Naked and Afraid.
-
Started watching that but think its so lame whenever they do a nude show like that and its censored, why bother then? Its the same with the Dating naked show.

Welcome to American TV.

Welcome to American TV.
Yeah, i guess so. They should learn from the show Adam zoekt Eva, wich airs in a couple of european countries, not Sweden though. They show full frontal nudity in a natural way like it should be.

Yeah, I think it would be a while before anything like that would get shown on American TV.
Still too much of an opinion here that nudity is always sexual.
-
I would bring "swiss army" of shoes with built in knife, matchstick, flash light

that's weird :huh: why do you think that is? and don't you think it is/will change as people develop?
-
There is too much of an idea in the US that most nudity is sexual.
It might change in the future, but I don't think it will happen anytime soon. Too many conservative people out here that get offended if their children see nudity.
-
If you had to have one item it's hard to choose between a machette or means to light a fire. I suppose if you are good at survivalism you would know how to light a fire from nature.

i watched American tv shows like Game of Thrones and Westworld they seem to have quite a lot of nudity. but i don't know if those parts are censored away when they are showing in America? That would take some of the wow factor away I would think ... :sad:

Game of Thrones and Westworld and other shows like them are on premium cable channels.
Most other cable channels and all broadcast tv tend to follow a way more strict policy on nudity.

so it's premium because they show nudity? not sure i follow the logic? or do you mean to say premium means they are exclusive to a few people (i guess that's the definition of premium...)? i guess what i dont get is the link between nudity and premium tv?
a bit like saying you have to pay to go for the nudist beach but if you want to wear clothes you don't have to pay :undecided:

No, it is premium because they are not included in the basic TV packages you can get over there. Like pay TV versus Free-to-air, except that they tend to be available primarily via cable television, which is practically always subscription-based to begin with. Premium in this case simply means "more expensive". Since they are not part of the basic television package, they can get away with stuff that would draw scrutiny on standard channels.

I love "Game of Thrones" and "Westworld."
As already stated, these are on subscription channels on US television. Our "free" television is actually paid for by advertising. Most of our advertisers are afraid to show breasts or genitals because they might lose business. These two shows are paid for by subscriptions, probably because they are (1) better quality than "free" tv and (2) some people enjoy the naked bits. Some other subscription channels have complete nakedness, but they are of poor style quality and, generally, stupid in content.
Did I already say, "I love 'Game of Thrones' and 'Westworld'"? (Does anyone know if "Westworld" is coming back??)
