It appears that the paleo craze is reaching critical mass. Next month, the Discovery Channel will roll out its new reality survival show, Naked and Afraid.
Like many show of its ilk, NaA follows a pair of complete strangers, a man and a woman, as they attempt to survive in the wilderness for 21 days with nothing but their smarts and one personal item each.
The twist? They’re completely naked and smeared with mud. (Discovery was reportedly also considering the titles, I’ve Made a Huge Mistake and Stroppy Jiggling in the Wilderness.)
The show will follow a new couple each week as they attempt to navigate the extreme discomfort of being naked with a complete stranger on national television.
Naked and Afraid already gained some degree of notoriety earlier this month after the show’s producer, Steve Rankin, was bitten by a Fer-de-lance while filming the show and nearly lost his foot. Bear Grylls, whose Man vs. Wild series is also produced by Rankin, later triggered a nation-wide gag reflex when he Tweeted a gruesome photo of the foot (WARNING: Extremely gross).
The show premieres Sunday, June 23, at 10:20 p.m. ET/PT, after Skywire Live With Nik Wallenda.

Just when you think reality TV can get no weirder.......still, I would like to watch it at least once to see exactly how one does survive for 21 days naked in the bush.

you just know a lot of people are going to watch it for all the wrong reasons...
and whats really happening versus whats portrayed as happening on the screen comes down to how the footage is edited
Russell Brice who runs HImalayan Expeditions on everest had discovery filming his guides and clients climbing on everest for several TV series. he said after he wished he never got involved with them, they edited the show to skew situations, they created conflicts that in reality were non issues, and some of those reality shows you dont even know if they are just faking some situations to increase the drama.. the first reality show "Sylvania waters" it was revealed they manufactured arguments on the show to give it more content
