Ultimately, scant food and mosquito-infested jungles are just the beginning of what lies ahead for this season’s Naked and Afraid survivalists.
“This is crazy dangerous,” one woman says in a promo for the new season (via YouTube) as she and her partner warily eye a hippo.
“We have to haul ass before they get over here,” he adds.
Of course, sometimes the greatest challenge to survival on Naked and Afraid is a person’s partner. Once again, not all survivalists see eye-to-eye when it comes to responsibilities and decision-making.
“You build a shelter, and I’ll shut my mouth,” one man says to his fellow survivalist.
“The housework is the woman’s job,” another participant tells his partner, who rolls her eyes in response.
