Naked and Afraid

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

Watched the solo ep first, nothing really notable. 

Only through initial commercial of the 2-hour version, that may be the worst insertion in show history. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

Awfully convenient big boy tied his old lady at 4 days. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

^ Whoops, that post was wrong, had the wives confused. 

[Nole-4-Life 800]

I liked they way they talked about the guy's dad dying on the Columbia space shuttle but showed footage from Challenger.

[RPM 26,183]

Details, details

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

They sure rushed through that med crew episode. “Stingless, my ass” was funny though. 

And of course the incredibly convenient Day 19 turtle. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

Hello, Ms. Candice. Really wish they’d chill with the endless Africa locations though. 

 

This Last Man Standing shit starting next month will REALLY make us hate some of the tiresome vets. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

Jesus fuck, Ms. Candice sure spit the bit right after that post. Good try, sweetie. 

[Nole-4-Life 800]

That gal was fine but damn she faded fast. Surprised that dude made it with nothing at all to eat for 3 weeks. Respect.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

Black chick on Solo kept acting like her injury was some kind of fluke. A tree didn’t fall on you, an animal didn’t bite you, you cut yourself. That’s why you’re done. 

[Nole-4-Life 800]

I'm not watching the solo stuff, is it worth it? I really like the interaction between the two.

The black couple who did the fan challenge sure as hell didn't get along.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

Worth it? Not really.

This next shit with all the ‘legends’ will be something. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

That might seriously have been the worst fish of all time, they didn’t even show it. 

Chick was cool though. 

Next week starts the ‘real shit’, they’re actually going for $. Gonna be a beating. 

[Nole-4-Life 800]

She appeared to have a nice rack.

Looking forward to next week. Hopefully Jeff gets eaten by a tiger or something.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

We can only hope. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

Awfully friendly of that leopard to kill the impala, then leave it in the tree for his TV show buddies. 

[Nole-4-Life 800]

This is gonna be pretty good I think.

[Nole-4-Life 800]

Takes me two days to get thru a two hour episode. Glad Matt and Wes didn't have to tap when their partners left and sad to see the only eye candy in the whole damn show gone.

Jeff is a fucktard and seems like they all hate him, even his partner.. Gonna be interesting going forward.

Wes is about as irrelevant as possible, let’s retire him.

True but I'm glad him and Matt didn't get bumped because their partners were tapped medically. That would have been unfair.

[Texzilla58 4,714]

If Jeff isn’t eaten by a croc or ripped apart by a leopard or killed by a poison tree I will be disappointed.

[Knoxtnhorn 5,927]

Loving the new concept.  I'd pretty much given up on the show a few months ago.  Nothing wrong with it.  It was just getting redundant.

I don't hate Jeff as much as most.  He just overdoes his schtick.

As one who believes myself to be a pretty tough guy, I am in awe of what these folks are able to accomplish.   

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

Goddamn, that was 2 hours of some gimmicky-ass shit. 

[Nole-4-Life 800]

I've only watched the first hour, but I love how they're ganging up against Jeff. Even his partner hates him.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

It’s so contrived, you’ll see. 

[Texzilla58 4,714]

Jeff’s partner is going to stake him to the ground, open his gut, and call in the vultures

From your lips to God's ear.

[Chips O'Toole 1,316]

I've never seen this show, but I watched Alone and enjoyed it.  Should I start at season 1, or is there a better entry point?

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

Nah, there’s too many episodes across all seasons that aren’t worth it. Just randomly pick a couple to see if it’s your thing. 

[Nole-4-Life 800]

I hope what's her name doesn't tap to get rid of Jeff. I want him to suffer.

[Scraps 13,527]

I wish Waz would powerbomb Jeff into the rocks on the bank

[Scraps 13,527]

Where the hell did Steven, fat girl, and tiny girl go the last hour and a half of the episode? Were they at the hotel?


Edit: just got to the point where Matt goes and got Steven

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

Haven’t watched this one yet, but Steven appeared to be chillin’ at the bar for about 95% of last week’s too. 

[Nole-4-Life 800]

I wish Jeff had tried to steal Matt's bow. Dude would beat Jeff's eyes shut.

[Texzilla58 4,714]

We’re this truly reality the others would have sold Jeff into slavery to some indigenous tribe for a gazelle carcass.

I hate him so much I bailed after Ep2.

There's still time I hope. 

I loved how completely shocked Jeff was that his partner wasn't enjoying her time with him.

[idigTexas 2,258]

I was a little surprised at how low key Stacey's reaction to the tap suggestion was.  I wanted her to have more of a "fuck off, I'm in it to win it" attitude toward Gary.  She should absolutely still manipulate Jeff with threats to tap, regardless of if she's seriously considering it. 

[Scraps 13,527]

There's a new show on Netflix that seems to be a combo of Alone and Survivor.  One ep in.  Not too bad.  It's called "Outlast".
There are 4 groups of four.  A tad more drama than Alone due to the social aspect.

Not to derail this thread but i am like on ep 6 and this shit is on another level so yall may want to check it out

Lol.  After my rec, I dropped it after ep 2.  The scene with the raft race to the island was so poorly edited and done, I couldn't anymore.

Spoiler

 

[Scraps 13,527]

You bailed too soon. It gets turned up to 11 during the middle episodes

[Texzilla58 4,714]

It might be the first reality show to actually have a murder. The tribalism erupts quickly.

I'll give it another shot.  

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

This is from the next episode guide info, but I’ll spoiler it anyway. 

Spoiler

Two people leave. 

[Scraps 13,527]

Wes likes to bitch and moan alot

[shadow_operative2.0 15,814]

I appreciate him reading our thread.

I'm in episode 6 of Outlast ...Jill maybe the worst human being I've ever seen in a reality show. It's a high bar I know, but jfk she's evil. Jeff on N&A seems pretty cool in comparison. And I hate felon Jeff...

[Nole-4-Life 800]

Don't know if y'all heard, but Wes doesn't like to be alone.

[idigTexas 2,258]

I assume Wes and Matt were not allowed to officially work as a team, but I wonder if the rules prevented them from building adjacent camps and sharing some tasks?  Some people aren't wired to be alone.  Wes lost all motivation when Amber was tapped.  He's always been a team guy.

Binged it yesterday.  Spoilered.

I wanted to like it much more than I did.  The concept was great, but the production was off.  There were several points that seemed either too contrived or poorly edited.  One example.  Three dudes on one tribe are trying to communicate with Jill.  They decide to send a msg on an arrow.  It's all covert and "hush-hush".  They send the arrow.  5 minutes later, they're talking back and forth with like 20 feet of water between them.  There were other things, but I digress.

Jill was horrible.  Love how she just couldn't believe Austin would stab them in the back.  When Jill and Auburn (?) were destroying Manny's camp and talking about how there were no laws out there, I wanted him to pimp slap Jill, then say, "Sorry.  No laws."  (No.  I don't condone a man hitting a woman.  It just would have been damn near earned in this case.)

What was up with the finale?  Seemed like they ran out of ideas when folks got comfy and stopped flaring.  Let's have them race?
