The tv show. We just started it after running out of Alone episodes. It’s ok, but we definitely prefer Alone. I think NaA intentionally puts people on with high drama and minimal skill.

That said, only being allowed 2 items makes it interesting.

Which two would you pick: cutting tool, fire starter or a pot?

Fire starter.

A credit card and a hotel.

I watched bits a peices of a few, then went ahead and watched a couple all the way thru,

typical (un)reality TV,

the premise is good, but some of the episodes were , well they sucked,

one in particular I remember was a football jock type dude, fair skinned, and they dropped of the couple on a beach,
where he proceded to do whatever all day in the Sun and got roasted,
after about 15 minutes of him whining, I cut to something esle


another thing I noticed, since they have to go from point A to point B in a set time, and granted, they are usually cutting thru some woods, or desert, or jungle or whatever, but by day 2 they look like pigpen, covered in dirt, from walking ,

I remember playing in a barnyard as a kid, haylofts, creeks etc, and I was still cleaner then they were, at the end of a day,

I enjoyed it for a few seasons, but every episode is basically the same. Got bored.

I always think of this one when N&A comes up or I see a commercial on TV for it

I perceive that show to be RIFE with "contrived, manufactured drama". That is the reason I have never and will never watch it. Kinda why I stopped watching "Deadliest Catch"...it seemed the producers/writers/whoever started telling the crews, "psssst....we need some drama. Make up some sh*t or conflict that might take place on a crab boat out in the middle of the Bering Sea."

People still watch "reality" TV?

I will just peek in now and then to see if there are any hot girls and the end to see if anyone bailed and how much weight they have lost.

I'm genuinely surprised anyone here would admit to watching this ultra-soft porn, schlock nonsense.

After reading this I immediately ran a search and started streaming.

I was very disappointed. It's not any kind of porn at all, just naked weirdos on a very eccentric yet effective crash diet.

SMH

As sure as God's got sandals, there are people out there turned on by blurred-out genitalia.

Those bug bites covering every square inch of their bodies are … well, not hot. Gotta love the puss filled abscesses on their bare feet and deflected machete slices on bare skin.

The naked part did seem gimmicky but it definitely ups the difficulty.

Overall the show is too redundant. Too little skills put to use. It basically seems like they starve and suffer for 21 days then go home. Alone is a much better series.

if the producers had a hair on their ass, they would cut out the fuzzy genitals and put the show on cinemax or some cable channel
