Discovery’s Naked and Afraid is a reality show that drops two survivalists – one man and one woman – into a remote location, strips them of their clothes and leaves them to fend for themselves for 21 days. It’s a brutal, intense undertaking that pushes the competitors to their physical and mental limits.
