If I'm outside for more than a few minutes without repellent I get a few bites
Good Morning America had this story last week I believe about how some people are more attractive to bugs and a lot of it is genetic. Really interesting. My wife and I can be with each other in the same place, she won't have a bite and I'll have 10.
Very annoying.
And I'm the hairy one. You'd think they go for the shaved skin.

From what I've seen in South Louisiana, people who have worked outside a lot have tougher skin and don't get bit. My arms never get bit, but my ankles do. They all go away within 10-15 minutes though, so maybe it is something in my blood

Well, I wouldn't have to worry about food.

I think I could do it.
The worst place has got to be the swamp or jungle and the easiest is the beach.
Besides the mosquitos/bugs in the swamp/jungle, it's hard to find enough dry wood or kindling to have a good fire, on top of needing something to boil water in. Knife/fire starter/pot, hard to leave one of those out.
I'd have no problem with the nakedness, other than at nighttime with the bugs, and I walk barefoot all the time. I only wear shoes if i'm getting in my car to go somewhere.
Hardest part would be having a partner that sucked and had really stupid ideas, and brought something stupid like a magnifying glass.

No. You would die of either severe dehydration from explosive diarrhea, malaria, or a combination of both.
American stomachs can't handle the food here because we've never had to build up the bacteria to digest it.

Wouldn't matter. You will end up with the worst case of the shits and stomach cramps imaginable. American stomachs don't have the bacteria inside to handle the food here.

They aren't the same as the mozzies in Louisiana. You don't typically feel them biting you. That's why you don't know you have malaria until you're lying on the floor in a pile of poo.

Do the man and woman ever hook up on this show?
I've seen some decent looking chicks on there. Saw a downright hot one once.

really don't have a desire to show a strange lady my penis that i'm not supposed to have sexy time with. its embarrassing that you have to explain you are a grower, not a shower then you are immediately dehydrated and that doesn't help penis pumping much. Then you sleep naked and get eaten up by a billion mosquito then her snatch is hideously disturbing, just all kinda gross once you get past the first hour of seeing her boobs and arse and wanting to tap that, but then you get thirsty realize you have to work and get all dirty and stinky then your butt smells like the Apocalypse if the Apocalypse had such an aroma.

Why would you really want to?

I would venture to say that's a pretty accurate summation of what someone would say about having been on the show.

Don't know if the two participants tell each other beforehand their one item. If they do I'd say bring a tent and a pot for boiling water.
Seems like they use a ton of energy on day one making a shelter.
Instead of collecting sticks and leaves and crap for shelter, find some water and make a fire.
Less bug bites and more energy.

Body odor, particularly foot odor, attracts the Anopheles mosquito (the frickers you don't want biting you).

Yep, sweat basically ferments as it dries on your skin and the dry sweat leftover is like crack to mosquitoes.

They have to have some sort of communication about it, and be restricted to a list of some sorts.
They've never both brought the same item, and I've never seen anyone bring a tent, or butane lighter, or a machete with a built-in fire starter.

You don't want those humpback little bastards biting you. I've been on the very verge of going into a coma twice in my life. Both times were in Africa. First time from Malaria, second time from severe food poisoning. There's a 100% guarantee I would have died had I not been rushed to the emergency room on both occasions. There's very little warning you are sick. Within 6 hours I went from feeling fine to unconscious.

I have learned something over the years. The less you flail around, the less insects mess with you. I used to paint houses, and painted over wasps for shits and giggles many times. If you sit still in the middle of the swamp, mosquitoes will leave you alone after a couple of minutes

On a show, maybe. IRL, absolutely.

Nope can't stand bug bites.
