RE: Naked and Afraid

I've always wondered what the point is of watching that show when they blur out the good stuff. What they do show doesn't look that great much of the time anyway. They could take some guidance from Survivor on cast selection.

Why film them naked if they intend to pay a small fortune in bluring it out?

they should do something. One episode I saw was SINGLE CALIFORNIA TREE HUGGER VERSUS MARRIED RURAL FLORIDA FIGHTERMAN/OUTDOORSMAN/HUNTER/FISHERMAN.

No chance for any relationship no chance for anything but his depression at not being "the provider".

I wonder why they were in such a hurry to get to a water hole when they should have started weaving leaves into shoes or something and then gone for water.

Naked and Stupid is unwatchable drek.

could it be improved by making it two single males and one single female? a contest to complete the trek AND win the "prize"?

Watched the new Survivor and Joe is back.
He's the best there and is sure to get voted
off the first chance they get. They go right
to tribal council without getting a chance to
figure out who's getting voted off, yet they
all vote for the same two people because
they're what, psychic?

Because this is a mathematical impossibility,
they must have told them earlier they were
going to council right after the challenge
and they figured it out then. There is no
way on earth 10 members all voted for the
same 2 people.

I recorded it but didn't watch it yet. I figure there were already discussions about who to vote off. What else is there to talk about that is more important?

Survivor is so boring, it's all talk talk talk,
with a few repetitive challenges thrown
in. And the best person never wins.

The Amazing Race is a much more entertaining
contest show. They're in a different location
every week, with different challenges every
week. There is very little talking and tons
of action, beautiful locations, and the people
who are the best always win. They aren't
voted off the show, they get to prove they
are the best.

The first HALF of Survivor this week was talking,
yuk.

So they break up into 3 tribes completely
by random and the new tribe gets
punished just because they're new? What
did they do to deserve that. This show is
nuts. This might be my last episode. Amazing
Race is 200% better, it's pure competition,
you leave because you lost, not because
a bunch of poor performers voted you off.

Randomness has always been a component of the game. That element didn't bother me. What does bother me is they don't have the token super-hot girl this time.

Personally, I'm pulling for Kelly, who is from Las Vegas, and should have won the original Survivor, had I had a vote in it.

What bothered me again was all the
stupid talking! Sneaking off in the
bushes and whispering to each other
about crap nobody cares about. This
is it for me, I turned it off before they
even got to the challenge.

I agree. I much prefer the shows with fresh faces than all-star shows. One thing that gets said over and over this time is they regretted not putting enough effort into their "social game" the first time. This season it is all social, which does not make for good viewing. So far, this is one of the weakest Survivor seasons I've seen, but am holding out hope.

Here is a picture of Morgan from the former "Beauty tribe" to show you another thing I'm missing from this season.
