Naked End – The second Hand Band
(New York, NY) – April 7, 2023 – Twelve of Naked and Afraid’s toughest and most experienced all-stars take on South Africa’s punishing Oribi Gorge in a completely new type of challenge. For the first time ever, survivalists will compete head-to-head through a grueling, multiphase challenge and have their primitive skills tested for the chance to win $100,000. The competition is fierce, as survivalists can use any means necessary – even sabotage – to take home the grand prize. At the end of 45 days, only one can be crowned the Last One Standing.
There’s no official UK release date for Naked and Afraid Season 18. However, past seasons of the show have released weekly on the platform – though a few weeks after their US premiere. Those in Blighty should expect, then, for new episodes to arrive towards the end of March, but we’ll update you here once we get more information.
I dunno man. I’ve liked N&A in other iterations. The Last One Standing. Some of the XLs. There can be something to learn. The survivalists start out pasty and chubby and end up carved out of wood. Here, they’re filthy by day two. They’re in an area devastated by climate change driven drought, struggling in the way millions of people have to struggle for real, and it’s a game. True to the nature of apocalyptic survival, I suppose, it’s not a very fun one to watch. People dragging around rusted corrugated metal and drinking dirty puddle water. No thanks. And I swear to god the show superimposed a lion in one scene to make it look closer than it was. Gonna pass on this one; Naked & Afraid has jumped the shark.
“It’s dating backward, right? So in the sense that being naked is typically kind of the end game, but with this, it’s really the start of it all,” said Whitmire. “So it’s, you know, we’re showing ourselves physically and metaphorically, and you’re gonna see a different yet very honest portrayal of how love can blossom.”
