re: Naked and Afraid XL

They should have given them more of it because it looked like a gift from the show, not an actual catch. First shot they show it hauling arse past the bags, then suddenly it's captured and they are chowing down. Complete BS. Makes me wonder if the eels we're planted too...

The reunion show was a let down. We needed some sort of host or moderator to initiate conversation and call people out on their bullshite.

Show doesn't need to be big brother or survivor.

I think they could've used a moderator as well. I really like Dani. I still don't understand why they were so mean to her. It was cool that the Ginger saw a different side of Shane.

That bitch doesn't care anything about him or anyone else there. She was the one stirring shite about Danielle, spoke up about not sharing food with ej and Jeff etc.

She did all that to take any backlash and heat off her own arse.

Jeff's performance was outstanding, followed by EJ. They took the correct approach to the show. They were cool in allowing Shane in when he was down and out. I wish they would have extended the same hand to Dani when she was struggling. She could have / should have finished the 40 days.

As for the other group, words cannot describe how terrible of a person Alana is. She was the divisive one that ostracized Shane and in a large part Dani. She owns nothing and her explanation on the reunion was bullshite. "I didn't know I was affecting you so deeply." The Vegan accomplice is a little gossipy bitch too. Eva is a doormat. When mean things were being said, I expected Eva and buck tooth chick to side with her or try to pick her up. They did nothing.

The show was compelling to me. I liked it. I hope they do more of them.

I'm not naive enough to believe everything shown is organic and real, but I would like to believe that the kills are genuine. But the cayman catch does seem fishy to me now that someone brought it up. Still like the show, regardless.

I really like both shows, Naked and Afraid and Alone. That said, Alone is way harder in my opinion. The mental aspect of that challenge alone has to be excruciating.

They're both challenging, but we don't know how much of Naked and Afraid is staged. The Cayman looked to have escaped to me. And what about the turtle getting out? I wouldn't have lasted very long on Alone.

I really dont think much of it is staged, other than maybe insignificant crap as fillers, like (as i said before) with A said something was biting her on the final swim, or the two guys "missing" the landing point a half mile, or other little things they may have got the group to do to add suspense.
