I love the show I've just finished season 1 (yes I know I'm late) but some of the relationships that went on were frustrating! Like when Shane left his original group I didn't blame him! All he wanted was help and those girls literally sat on their butts and threw some sticks in the fire maybe and that was it!!! I hated those two. Don't even get me started on Honora. At first she was fine, but then she just turned a complete corner..I felt so bad for the guys on her team. She literally has the mind of a 12 year old.

Naked and Afraid finds the formula for more interesting fare
atlasmb5 August 2015
In the first incarnation of "Naked and Afraid", it seemed like a series of long endurance tests. Most of the individuals either tapped out or were miserable for the entire 21 day experience.
"Naked and Afraid XL" is different. The 12 survivalists are dropped into a harsh area of Colombia where the daily temperatures routinely reach 105 degrees. They start as 4 teams of three. Although there are hardships--especially at the beginning--they fare fairly well. A local survival expert had predicted that most of them would not last 20 days, let alone the 40 day goal. But at the end of 20 days, only two had tapped out.
What makes this show better is the large number of people involved. Much more is happening and there are a variety of experiences. Some of the most interesting moments come from unexpected interactions between the participants.

Here's a summary of season 1
toutouguy13 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Everyone else sucks and do absolutely nothing but sit around and gossip and gloat besides EJ and Jeff. EJ and Jeff are the protagonists here. Anyone who disagrees doesn't know what they're talking about. The remaining individuals are greedy, selfish a holes. If it were me, I'd let them starve and fail the challenge but it's 'probably' staged who knows who cares. Dani Julien and Shane are questionable individuals but not as bad as the other bickering children. Hakim was probably a cool dude. It's too bad he had to tap out so early. The worst and most unbearable survivalists are definitely Chris, Alana, Eva, Luke and Honora.
Great survival show, please stop showing the same clips again & again
bluenine-211 May 2022
Love XL, its even better than the normal size naked & afraid. But my only problem is that they keep repeating clips again and again and again and again, and that gets SO ANNOYING. I have to literally sit with a remote, fast forwarding the first 5 minutes, then after every break and the rating stuff. I swear they show some events like 5-6 times!! They clearly have so much footage, this show will be a 10/10 if there were no repetitions.
Maybe the show runners are confused about their target audience - they are trying to get the mass audience with more drama and repetitions of dramatic events, which is alienating the actual audience for shows like these. Forget about the people who will never be regular watchers of the show, focus on your existing dedicated audience and give them better quality - no repetitions, focus more on survival stuff, even if parts of it look a bit like a documentary. Some of the hunt scenes could be longer, you don't need a voiceover all the time, give us a real feel of the situation, etc.

This show is a must watch- very entertaining when they have tribes. Love the all female team gettin it done! The dynamics are perfect for entertainment and love of the outdoors. I can't wait for it to be on each week. Great show
Only a few was worth watching

It was entertaining!
MidoriAi3 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It is really entertaining. I like that there are more people there. But the thing is:
Why do they need to be actually naked?? Give the edit department a break, and give them a loincloth to cover themselves.. why do we need to see the blurred parts? And many parts are ugly to see.
I'm watching season 6 right now, and this is a review for it only:
-They had a lot of time to research about what Africa could be, what could they find, what could they avoid.. but they didn't know:
-About how a body work with fasting, the only thing they eat was meat (even when they were constipated, they needed more hunt! more game!)
-Cover yourself from the sun with mud, with branches and leaves, feathers..
-Make shoes (they did something at the end almost)
-Don't take drinking water when they went hunting or a long run.
And what's the objective here? Yes, they need to stay 40 days and nights... but is it ok if some of them are alone? If they are alone it gets pretty boring.

hallbob-9157525 August 2015
I applaud EJ,Jeff and Dani, they are the greatest. The rest of the 11 are selfish, self centered , egotistical and "legends in their own minds"! Dani left the group because she was treated with NO respect and the women in that group, were all jealous of her and knowing she would not follow in their "foot steps" by being a full fledged JERK! As for the two guys in this group, they are also are "legends in their own minds"! EJ & Jeff shared the (2) Eels they caught with the whole group but when the other group caught the Stingray, they did not even offer EJ or Jeff any of it to repay them for the first time EJ & Jeff shared their Eel with that group.Jeff being a good hearted guy fed them all again with another large Eel. That shows who really "shines" in this whole group! I wish Dani had joined EJ & Jeff as there was only (6) days left in the challenge but being the great woman she is, she did not want to burden EJ or Jeff or bring the other groups "drama" into their camp. My choice for perfection in this XL series are: EJ, Jeff & Dani hands down! Dani, you have nothing to hold your head down about, you were "ganged up on" and if I had been there that would never have happened, your great.
Frozen is a new take on a great series

Trish the worthless cast member is back. She was mean in season 8 and barely survived. In season 9 she is back to her old ways of laying around making everyone else take care of her. The other cast members are great and show their survival skills. Great show.
You what? (Season 2)
mmarianne27 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I've watched all episodes of Naked and Afraid over the years. Some of them are really cool, and I do love survival shows in general.
However.
Already on their way out to the bush, the South-African men said something like, why are you doing this, naked where it is very dangerous?
This sentiment has followed me through the episodes. The apathy and the constant showing of muscles, confidence and self-assured nature has me baffling for air. From what I can tell, they mainly sit around, waiting for one of them to get up and try to catch something. And then they have nothing. And then they sit around again, waiting for someone to catch something and no one does. It's an endless circle.
And then they start to get sick. So sick in fact that nearby medics has to be called for. (so, they're really not so much alone, just camping out next to the real experts)
And when they start to get sick, the embarrassment should had struck them. But they're "experts" right? So they don't get embarrassed.
But I do. I get so embarrassed that I can hardly watch. And I do want to finish what I've started, so I do keep trying... but I have to play a computer game in the same time to get my head away from the worst of the craziness.
Listen. Here they are. 13 entitles Americans. People who can afford taking some 50 days (including travel-time etc) out of their lives to go and do something adventurous. They're well fed, well clothed, fortunate and spoiled. They've never had to starve, unless they felt like it. They've never had to really fend for themselves, unless they felt like it. They never had to fight for their lives, unless they felt like it.
Lets face it. These people are sitting around, in the bush in South Africa. A country populated by not less than 12 million people living in poverty. They have no clean water, no electricity, no work, no food. This is the reality.
And there these 12 boys and girls are sitting, saying things like "they are starving" when a van some 100 meters from them, have the medical care that very few people in South Africa has, or can even dream of. Also, that van is full stocked with food, clean water, clothing and a flight back to their safety and spoiled American lives.
This season is so typical for the western world. We are entitled, we are so sure of our-self that we go camping in a world we don't understand, or even know anything about. We go places without having studied the culture, ecology, population or anything.
I am sure that not only do the South Africans helping out in this series laugh at the stupid Americans. I am sure that they also are weeping. The laughter stopped in its track, and the crying begins, for their own world and culture.
That's all.

Survival with drama
athul30027 January 2019
Naked and afraid XL is the next level for the contestants as well as the viewers of the regular naked and afraid Survival series.
A Single episode is too short to cover the ordeal of 21 day survival challenge hence Discovery has come up with XL which covers the 40 day survival challenge instead of 21 and is spread across an entire series.
The highlight of the show is that Many veteran survivalists come for a more gruelling challenge or are given a shot at Redemption through XL and it showcases how human nature changes when the same person is pitted in a different group.
Group dynamics plays a major part and each person has to come up with his survival plan for the 40 days. You can see lot of survival plans/fails, and a lot of drama too which is obvious when many people are pitted together and decisions clash.
It's true that the show is edited in such a way that events seem to be more linear and a lot of drama is triggered by the showrunners themselves like asking specific questions intentionally or deliberately picking contestants who are sure to bring in drama. But thats obvious considering this is a reality TV show and not a documentary.
It would be amazing if a crossover with Bear grylls is done someday.
In short this is an amazing survival series if you consider this as a reality TV show which is more real compared to all other current crop of shows.

Cruel show
patrickharding-630131 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I was ok until season 7 "Legends" (in their own minds maybe). I just found it cruel to watch them slaughtering alligators and then they're hungry a few days later? I have a feeling so much of the alligator jerky went to waste. I know they have to eat to "survive" this social experiment but I think alligators should have been off limits.
Scam of a show thanks to the editing
randymcbeast29 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I've watched every season of Naked and Afraid, regular and XL. For this second season of XL, I just had to express my complete and utter dissatisfaction with the editors of this show.
The major problem I had is that they continuously fake us out in order to build excitement. They will show a person walking and then show a lion walking. The lion is nowhere near the person but they have to heighten the danger aspect artificially. Lame! They must have done this about 100 times this season, I kid you not.
They also fake like something major is happening and again show pictures of dangerous animals not even close, and then go to a commercial break. When you come back, it's daylight out and nothing happened. Lame!
This is an interesting show and can be very entertaining without the editor's help. I would fire the current editors and bring in people that just show us what's real. Maybe it will be tough to fill an episode with action but at least there will be some integrity. As a fan, I hate being fooled and treated like an idiot.

Not bad guilty pleasure with occasional flashes of interesting knowledge about how to survive in the wilderness
heisenberg1224 August 2016
N & A XL is much better than the original N & A. Instead of only 21 days, survivalists have to reach 40, and rather than just 2 people, there are 12.
They begin divided in small groups, but after several days tend to bunch up into one big group.
The show can be viewed from many different perspectives. Nature people will find most interest in the survival aspects and the beauty of the exotic outdoors, people who like reality television drama will like it for the relationships, teams, cliques, and alliances, people who live an active lifestyle and exercise will find it interesting how their bodies physiologically respond to low calories, and people who like contests will be intrigued by who makes it to the end.
Because the environmental conditions are so harsh, many people can't make it to the 40th day and "tap out". The brutal conditions really take their toll on everyone as they severely lose weight and struggle to find any significant amount of food to feed the group. By the 20th-30th day, the survivalists' energy levels are so depleted that they can barely move and to conserve it, they have to stay in one place most of the time.
This is the type of show that lots of people would be embarrassed to admit they like. Some of the drama is staged, and they use lots of stock footage of dangerous wildlife to try to increase the viewers' feelings of danger and suspense. Rumors have gone around that sometimes producers will sneak in a candy bar or drop a fish in their pond to catch for food when they're starving. So there are some weaknesses that people will be quick to point out and you'll notice that aren't fully realistic.
However, this is a guilty pleasure on a bored Sunday night if there ever was one. The nature shots are beautiful, the animal footage will leave you in awe and captivated, and the sense of fear and danger is real. The survivalists really are struggling to make it due to unbearable heat, scarce food, irritability and emotional volatility due to the frustrating situations.
I didn't think season 2 would be as good as season 1, especially after the first episode or two, but after the last episodes 6 & 7, I'm surprised to honestly feel and say that it just passed it. What looked like an easy glide to 40 days for everyone turned into a nightmare that saw 5 people, 3 of the most popular, tap out within 24 hours, and there's still 11 days to go. It was a real surprise how many survivalists who appeared to be the strongest suddenly couldn't make it.
I think the best way to describe this show would be a guilty pleasure with occasional bits of brilliant survival knowledge.

The best test for socialism
inskyfire10 June 2019
This show is socialism at it's very best, and that's not saying much for it. You can see how fast lazy people take advantage of the workers, and it happens every season. My husband and I love this show because every time we hear people talking about how much they would love to have a socialist society, we think of how well it works out with just these small groups of people. There are always lazy people ready to take advantage of worker bees, regardless, love the show, watch every episode.
One of the best of 2015
mr_matt_matt13 August 2015
The normal Naked and Afraid was good to great - XL is awesome. It's been one of the highlights of 2015 - if not THE best TV show of 2015.
This is what I believe to be unscripted and that makes it the best. Better than it's predecessors like Survivor 1-2456, Bear Grylls and mostly all other 'reality' TV.
Naked and afraid is random and thoroughly entertaining. The episode with the electric eel was pure joy to watch, I actually laughed out loud.
The group dynamic, mixes of sexes and stunning environment of Columbia - for 40 days - makes it a must watch.
I'm excited to see what comes next...
(side note, i'd love to see them do an Australian version)

My husband and I watch the show and we love how you create monsters out of the people who are participates. We always pick out the ones that we love to hate. The number 1 contestant that we loved to hate was Alana (we referred to her as 'Red").
Laura, Luke, Chris, Eva, Alana and especially annoying Danielle we thought were real a**holes in the way that they treated Dani & Shane. They were not leaders. They teamed up on Dani & Shane & Honora and proved that they were a total waste of space, their egos got the better of them and it was really pathetic.
Luke called himself a hippie when he was acting like a real jerk by following in Chris's ways, he was showing no love & he calls himself a counselor?
What they did to Dani was unconscionable.

Great show however these so called survival experts are provided with a pot, fire starter, a big knife each, and on top of that can each bring one thing of their own. Granted I wouldn't be able to do this challenge myself, but they're making it more and more easy as the show goes on. It was much more interesting finding out who brought what item and watching them find a way to create the items they didn't.
Wouldn't surprise me if as the show goes on, they're provided with a oven, refrigerator, lodge and all the stuff that goes in them.
Hardly survival if you're given all the tools to survive.

I like it overall but I've noticed in the last season the special emphasis on 'Fisher-WOMAN' and the show really puts as much effort into going woke. It's edited at least lately to make it as gender neutral and beyond politically correct which kind makes you question the actual surviving.
I am afraid this show is not XLent
villie-44-6166729 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
If you liked Naked & Afraid, or seeing someone's butt crack, you will love this show. To be fair they were shooting for 40 days, they can't do a perfect job every day. I guess they did not want to be accused of plagiarizing other "reality" shows so they did what they could to make this show unique. Filming 12 people for 40 days gave them a huge collection of footage of which to take clips from and assemble them into stories. You may think that the plot of a show about survival is find food, drinking water, and shelter. Well, they did some of that, but not much. However it appears that they were only able to find a little bit of food, and went hungry until they started killing the electric eels, which is not what really happened.
Rather than make a documentary about this project, they assembled clips to make little stories, such as Shane could not make any friends in his group, ( they started out divided into 4 groups ) He wound up alone in his own camp in a little shelter that couldn't keep the rain out, cold and alone and he prays to God and asks for help, the next day these 2 guys from another team come along and he joins their team and has 2 good friends. They are not afraid and I don't believe they were really naked. In post production they added hundreds of blurs, and there are SO many other things that suggest this show is not on the level, that I assume they must have something to hide ( it sure isn't large breasts ). This could be a good show if they had some competent people edit the footage and replace the narrator with voice overs from the naked people.

Much like Naked and Afraid, this show is friggen awesome
mickeyadamo24 May 2022
A top 10 for sure. This takes the original series another step by pushing vets past their previous limits, or just letting a tried and true vet flex a bit by going 40 or 60 days. FWIW I am adventurous but would never want to try anything like this, it sounds like pure hell, so the fact that others are willing to, man rockstars.
This season has been great, and probably the most grueling of any, so if you havent seen the show I would recommend starting with the current season, get addicted and work your way back.
Hope they never stop making it. I actually emailed Discovery asking them to never stop too haha. One of our favorites for sure.

trish is a horrific person and lucky to be alive
mabakerhtx20 June 2022
Great show. Everyone later in the show does a great job at thriving in the amazon. They have great skill sand should be proud of their time on the show... except for trish. She is a horrible person that is filled with negativity. Trish has no skill, leeched off other team members and is lucky to be alive. She spent 5 days making a raised bed and ended up sleeping on a muddy floor. Special shame needs to go to Jeff for being a petty gossip and working with Trish to backstab Amber.
The MOOCHERS, a group of 6.
kclarktrojanek15 June 2023
The group of 6 where nothing but lazy asses that mooched off EJ and Jeff. The only ones that deserve the "SURVIVALIST" title, are the dual pair, EJ and Jeff.
They were the only ones that deserve an actual "SURVIVALIST" title.
The group of 6, dogged on the people that "they say" wasn't pulling their weight. How many protien meals did the group of 6 mooch from EJ and Jeff. But in return, did they offer, even a bite of their tinny sting ray that they cought, with EJ and Jeff? NO.
Also in episode 10, THE DIRTY DOZEN. Where EJ and Jeff gave their apologies to the group of 6. HELL NO, that group should have been apologizing to EJ and Jeff for the fact that they fed them at least 2 protein meals.
Because the group of 6, they were the ones that didn't pull their weight.
How far would the group of 6 have gotten without EJ and Jeff's protein meals.
You all in the group of 6 should be ashamed, but you won't, because that is the kind of people you are.
They were the only ones that deserve an actual "SURVIVALIST" title.
The group of 6, dogged on the people that "they say" wasn't pulling their weight. How many protien meals did the group of 6 mooch from EJ and Jeff. But in return, did they offer, even a bite of their tinny sting ray that they cought, with EJ and Jeff? NO.
Also in episode 10, THE DIRTY DOZEN. Where EJ and Jeff gave their apologies to the group of 6. HELL NO, that group should have been apologizing to EJ and Jeff for the fact that they fed them at least 2 protein meals.
Because the group of 6, they were the ones that didn't pull their weight.
How far would the group of 6 have gotten without EJ and Jeff's protein meals.
You all in the group of 6 should be ashamed, but you won't, because that is the kind of people you are.
An Intriguing Psichological Drama!
irinaum8 September 2015
I loved this show more that the Naked and Afraid; in addition, to the hardships of survival in the harshest physical condition, there was also an even bigger challenge of survival in a larger group setting. The show became an intriguing journey of human feelings, emotions, morals. In some cases, the outcomes were unexpected. I particularly enjoyed the final show re-union show. It was shocking to see that the group had not learned any additional human skills. I felt sorry for the 2 outcasts. The individuals that treated them in a most horrible way possible, had no remorse and showed no grownup maturity to learn from the experiences. It was truly horrifying.
