Naked, Alone and Racing for Hone on E4

[5foot5]

Couldn't see a thread on this but I have seen three now and find it strangely compulsive. Anyone else?

My main concern watching this is ticks. FGS they are crossing open country and sleeping out stark naked. I would be paranoid about ticks.

Just seen tonight's episode and was glad the two men won (can't remember names but one was an electrician and the other a personal trainer). The other team I found the man SO irritating. The woman was probably a little bit annoying but if I was her I would have been tempted to brain him with a log in the night.

At least this time everyone finished. The previous two episodes at least one contestant has been pulled for medical reasons.

It does look tough. Even if they weren't naked!

Awful show, cannot see what is gained from wearing nothing.

You're right, OP, it is strangely compulsive.

And designed to be so.
I do wonder about the health and safety aspect. Some of them are shaking with cold. But then again, that's literally what it's about: survival in primitive conditions.

One of the final episodes have a couple who are just adorbs

Well from a health and safety perspective they are accompanied by someone with a camera and when someone gets seriously distressed the help arrived.

I would still worry about ticks.

BTW, maybe this is me being thick, but what is adorbs?

I've seen the first 2 episodes. Assuming it's based on the show Naked and Afraid but at least they're in really difficult locations, barefoot and for a much longer time plus the ones I've seen had their bits blurred out. TBH I don't really see the point of watching anymore of this one, it's not that difficult and only the area and the people changing, feel a bit odd watching boobs and so on.

I watched about 5 minutes of one episode and got fed up. If they were wearing clothes I would really have enjoyed watching to find out whose strategy works best etc. Which couple work best together as a team.
But an hour spent watching peoples naked bodies bouncing about? No thanks.

I've watched the first one. On Naked and Afraid you pretty much forget they are naked. On this one, bloody hell, no chance of forgetting.

It was entertaining in a way - the bemused cyclists and hikers made me laugh. But it's not a survival programme in the same way Naked and Afraid is.

Well I'm giving it a watch now, not long into episode one. The teams have just met each other. Gotta love the way the couple have placed their bag coquettishly like fig leaves, the team that are strangers are like "here is EVERYTHING" 🤣
