Please make Naked and Survived....!

Been watching season 2 and almost without exception, the couple is dying slowly for 21 days.

Not eating.
Cold as hell.
Hardly getting water.
Just lying around getting thinner.

I understand that this is supposed to be a challenge, but please start sending people who know how to friggin thrive and survive (psr means diddly squat), not someone who starve for 3 weeks and go home and brag about how they made <insert jungle here> their bitch.

Season one had some really cool couples who were actually able to make some sort of a living out of the place they were in, but not so much any more.

"I have been a wilderness expert and coach for 12 years"
*taps out after 5 days of hurt*

wtf...?

Stop sending exhibitionist frauds on these missions! Pair up a couple who are off Prozac, emotionally stable, social and able to function under stress and who know their way around the bush.

Believe it or not, that would make great TV, instead of this "big-brother" in the nude, aimed to create tension and bull-crap as soon as the going gets tough.

You need to stop believing everything and everything shown on television. In reality, the participants did more than shown on television, but you only got to see what the editors/producers wanted you to see.

Possibly, but men loose 20 and females loose 15 pounds of body weight on average, meaning, they starve to death.

Possibly

No, not "possibly," but rather fact. In fact, you didn't even get to see 1% of the total footage, yet blindly believe the editors/producers show everything. They don't. Instead, they gather the footage and create a storyline out of said footage. They choose how to portray each person (i.e. positively/negatively, hardworking/lazy). Participants have also indicated they were forced to create drama for the cameras. Gee, imagine that!

but men loose 20 and females loose 15 pounds of body weight on average, meaning, they starve to death.

Since many aspects of Naked and Afraid have been proven false, why do you believe those stats are real?

Because you can SEE it!

They go from plump to skin and bones, unless you think they use CGI.

If you believe that, you need to take off your tinfoil hat :P

Just because the participants lost some weight does NOT mean they lost the full stated value provided by the show. Duh!
