I am afraid this show is not XLent

If you liked Naked & Afraid, or seeing someone's butt crack, you will love this show. To be fair they were shooting for 40 days, they can't do a perfect job every day. I guess they did not want to be accused of plagiarizing other "reality" shows so they did what they could to make this show unique. Filming 12 people for 40 days gave them a huge collection of footage of which to take clips from and assemble them into stories. You may think that the plot of a show about survival is find food, drinking water, and shelter. Well, they did some of that, but not much. However it appears that they were only able to find a little bit of food, and went hungry until they started killing the electric eels, which is not what really happened.

Rather than make a documentary about this project, they assembled clips to make little stories, such as Shane could not make any friends in his group, ( they started out divided into 4 groups ) He wound up alone in his own camp in a little shelter that couldn't keep the rain out, cold and alone and he prays to God and asks for help, the next day these 2 guys from another team come along and he joins their team and has 2 good friends. They are not afraid and I don't believe they were really naked. In post production they added hundreds of blurs, and there are SO many other things that suggest this show is not on the level, that I assume they must have something to hide ( it sure isn't large breasts ). This could be a good show if they had some competent people edit the footage and replace the narrator with voice overs from the naked people.
