Hubs and I are onto the new show on discovery channel called naked and afraid.
At first glance, we were quite skeptical and thought, what a silly show. But it has been keeping us glued to the tube (well, not the tube anymore but you get the gist).
At the risk of spoiler alerting... the show basically takes two total strangers who consider themselves survivor experts, strips them naked and drops them in a jungle (different ones around the world). They are allowed one item only and are filmed for 21 days.
The most attractive part of the show for me is the weight lost after 21 days. Most people lose 25-40 lbs in that short time.. I know how unhealthy it is to starve for weight loss, n am ashamed to say that it is kind of attractive. That is where it ends though. I would need more than one item, including my clothes!
As for hubs, he is constantly saying how he would totally survive the 21 days since he loves nature and is always up for a challenge. I think he would try it if the opportunity presented itself. He has also said in passing that the weight loss is crazy wild.
We have also found it interesting that most men come in so strong and cocky, and it doesn't take them long to break down. They get so irritable and short at their partner and are such a pain to deal with it. It is the women who keep their cool and save the day mostly. The guys also tend to make silly mistakes like drinking dirty water coz they are hungry and thirsty and cannot take it any more.
Anyways, I am staying level headed today despite the fact that I am not naked but I am afraid of what the future holds!
That is so interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou know, the people who are not in the hot seat are the only ones who are too sure, too confident that they would have answered everything right, had it been them. That is how it is. Similarly, while all contestants are sure that they have it in them to last the ordeal, they just don't know their mettle, till they have actually gone through with it. So yeah.
Happy ICLW!
You are so right about being back seat drivers! I know I cannot handle that level of toughness!
DeleteIf I skip a meal I lose my shit. I can not imagine starving. I would be the angriest contestant all time lol.
ReplyDeletelol... I would be right up your alley on that one! I love my food:)
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog for ICLW. I haven't heard of this show! Of course, the women keep their cool better. We are made of it. ;) I could do this show, but nobody would want to be around me. Hungry = grumpy beyond belief.
ReplyDeletelol... Yes! I am in with you on the hungrumpy! Yay women! We are made to deal better!
DeleteI'm a vegetarian so I'd be in trouble there! Although I'd probably make my one item a water filtration bottle so at least I'd be hydrated!! I think the people who do those shows are nuts. No offense to your hubby ;) I just would be terrified of getting sick, even if I'm being monitored!
ReplyDeleteI think you already make a really good candidate for even thinking of a water filtration bottle! I have seen a few guys get deathly ill coz of drinking contaminated water! As for them being nuts... Yup, for sure for sure....
