I admit I do watch some most are far from reality, staged or formatted to produce a desired result but last night I watched one that's about as real as it can legally and ethically get. It was pretty badass. Two Thumbs up!

so other than the novelty of having naked people on tv... why naked? A loincloth and tube top is too much advantage over hyenas and snakes?

I mean... why not Naked Ice Road Truckers... and Naked Deadliest Catch... Naked Dirty Jobs...

Oh I don't know if you were dropped of in a jungle would you rather have or not have clothes, I think mentally there's a slight vulnerability factor and with clothes I could make a snare or fishing line. I suppose the point is for the participants to test their survival skills with bare minimums no pun intended.

I think all three would fail because of one single acronym, OSHA.
