Naked and Afraid is one of many reality TV shows where contestants try to overcome nature’s most brutal conditions in a survival format. Since its premiere in 2013, the Discovery original series has grown in popularity by leaps and bounds, with multiple spin-offs emerging, like Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing.

Season 15 of Naked and Afraid saw Sam Mouzer suffer a serious injury to his penis. According to TMZ, Mouzer and his partner were sleeping beside a fire. The fire suddenly burned his “little soldier’s helmet.”

Naked and Afraid is a reality show like none other. The Discovery Channel series drops pairs of people into remote locations and leaves them to fend for themselves – without food, water, or clothing. With just one survival tool each (such as a machete or fire starter), they’re challenged to last 21 days in the wild.
Unsurprisingly, many people don’t make it the full three weeks. Medical crises, loneliness, and hunger have all prompted people to tap out early. But thankfully, no person’s Naked and Afraid journey has been cut short for the most serious reason of all: death.

In the latest spinoff of the survival series, 12 top participants from past seasons of Naked and Afraid compete in a multi-phase, 45-day challenge.

They’ll have to endure more than a month in South Africa’s remote and punishing Oribi Gorge, which features rough terrain, wild weather, and dangerous predators. The environment is no joke, with even seasoned survivalists intimidated by the challenges it poses.

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.

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.
