How is Jeff the only one who understands that this is ultimately an individual competition? Who in their right mind thinks it's a good idea to help their competitor achieve victory? Apparently, 11/12ths of these participants.

This is a GAME with one winner and eleven losers. It's not 'Naked and Afraid' where people work together achieve a common goal.

It makes zero sense to make sacrifices to help others survive. No one will die. If they can't hack it, they tap and the individual is one step closer to winning the GAME.

I don't particularly like Jeff. He could use a lesson in humility but he's the only one who gets it.

I have been an advid watcher of Naked and Afraid for years I am so appalled at the way the show has enabled the senseless bullying of Jeff and the unfair way the producers wrote rules and haven't seen to it that they were followed. The only player following the rules is Jeff. It is sickening to see how Matt has been manipulating everyone one of his little bully buddies into doing his dirty work and they are all too stupid to realize that Jeff is really the only person that isn't phoney. I am so relieved that when I check this web site I found many other fans that feel just like I do that the show is not fun to watch anymore due to the bullying that is going on. It's a platform for bullying 101!!

All of my favorites have severely disappointed! Jeff is right! The rest have acted like mean girls, bullies! I'm actually rooting for Jeff! Kudos to him! How hard it would be to have EVERYONE against you and he has kept his spirits up. I thought Gary was going to remain out of the fray but when he was teamed up with Jeff they treated Gary the same as Jeff and Gary changed his tune. Jeff hasn't been unkind like the others. He was trying to trade instead of giving items away.. I think the 'Mean Girls' will find their 'friends' will turn on them/back-stab quicker and more dishonestly than Jeff would.. Go Jeff go!!! I hope you win!

I think all the other contestants that are treating Jeff horribly or sore losers and should never be allowed to be on this show again because he's literally survived this whole thing by himself with nobody they don't help him he does it all on his own and they call their self survivalists when they literally have other people to go out and do the work for them why Jeff does everything by himself and they treat him like garbage and I'm sick and tired of watching it I'm sick and tired of watching the show that's about winning 100 and some thousand dollars and Jeff doing the thing your supposed do.

First of all, some people do not realize that this is a competition so the other players Matt, Dan, Sarah, Steven, Gary, and the rest of them are expecting Jeff to share his caches when it's supposed to be each man for himself. Jeff is playing the game fair and square, I don't agree with bullying and the starving Jeff part. If you have food to feed others then you should feed the other person as well regardless. I'm hoping Jeff wins. This is a great competition though because you're watching very skilled people go up against each other but Jeff is proving that he can survive by himself so far.

I'm not really into reality shows. Not my jam.

That said, Naked and Afraid XL was one of my favourite shows. It wasn't like other reality shows, this one was about survival and felt real. Loved the struggle, the relationships, the desperation, the brilliance of survivalists in the most difficult of situations. Its brings out the best in people sometimes, and the worst at times. Can you make it in a hostile wilderness naked for 40 or 60 days? Your best chance to do so is to help each other. Like early mankind. It wasn't a reality game show at all, it was a reality documentary.

Now they have ruined that by making it into a gimmicky reality competition where you need to backstab each other for a chance to win some money. Welcome to the game show business guys. Yuck. Win a race, get free food. Make a trap for no reason, you get a bow or a knife or a hide. And tonnes of melodrama. I guess this show is aimed at the reality show audience, its not about survival.

Please bring NAA:XL back. Make it more real, not less.

I don't care what the rest of em say about Jeff. ..it's not share time at preschool it's a competition.. They are as cut throat as he is.. they ,just sugar coat it. Are they gonna help anyone across the finish line first? NOPE. They all plot against him too. Come on. At least he's honest about his deceptions. I like that. ,and it makes the show alot better than everyone being all kumbaya.. I would have got bored with that. On a side note,I really wonder how they keep the insects out of their private areas. That runs through my mind now and then,sorry. They should have a show where they send people with NO survival skills whatsoever out and see who lasts the longest. I'd watch that too. People like me...

Jeff is the only one who seems to be playing the game or even know how to. If it was left to the others, helping each other, they would all still be there on day 199, ridiculous....and to blame for all of this...Matt, with his opinion about Jeff...Jeff is grabbing everything, we need to stop him' what do you expect him to do, put things back?

Find something and barter, not just help your opponents because thats the 'right' thing to do.

Lost all respect for Was as he has just become Matt's puppet, blames Jeff for holding onto items, when he himself had 2 bows he was holding onto!

Go Jeff, play the game your way, not the way others think you should be playing it.

I lost all faith in the people on this show for this competition! Traveling down that river on those rafts was very hard and scary. I saw Gary struggling under water having a real hard time getting to the surface to breathe! All I heard from Matt and Steven and the rest of their team saying He's gonna drown but did anyone go to him and help him to the surface? No! I was appalled at everyone of them! Like I said I lost all faith in these people! My god that money is not worth losing a man. And Matt stop whiny or go the hell home! After all they have only 2 people on their team and you have 4!!!

Matt, Gary and the rest of the survivalist are just as deceitful as Jeff. Ganging up on Jeff is childish. I think they are insecure. I'm all Team Jeff. Matt has gotten greedy, selfish and evil. I love them all but this little game the others are playing is mean girls all over again. At least Jeff is direct and doesn't beat around the bush. As for Gary literally wanting Stacey to tap out just to get rid of Jeff was inconsiderate. He didn't consider her feelings and that right there tells me that he saw this woman as a weak link. Women are to be respected not used as a weapon to bring his competitor down.

Extremely disappointed in the cast, which sucks because most of them are my favorite to watch. The amount of adult bullying is horrible. We are trying to teach children to not bully but here we are watching a bunch of adults bullying and gang up on one person because they don't like that he is pretty much playing the game. Then watching other bully and make someone feel bad when they help a cast member they don't like. It appalling, disgusting, and I'm ashamed to be a Nsked and Afraid fan and that a horrible feeling because I love this show so much.

I love the concept of the show which is the only reason why I gave it 5 stars.

Watched the first 4 episodes. It's turning into a mob mentality against Jeff. Jeff never asks for or expects anything free, but a trade so there's benefit all around.

And so far Jeff has been the most fair and square one, and least back biting of them all.

And what have I seen Waz do? No fishing,hunting, scavenging or foraging. Just Laying on his fat ass convincing his partner to talk Jeff's partner into tapping out. Waz is slimy devious and he was the most self righteous one to start with.

Naked and afraid has been one of my favorite shows because there was so little low character deviousness to it.

This new format has really brought out the duplicitous self righteous judgemental snake in the grass, pot calling the kettle black, drama that I see enough in real life, thank you.

I'm only watching it until Jeff wins or he's gone. He's the only one with REAL integrity.

I really enjoyed this challenge except for the gang of contestants who literally bullied Jeff.

I have no respect for them what so ever except (Gary) I know he had to play both sides but the guy is genuine

The majority of the contestants all banded together and Seemed to be the best of friends but they were mostly all 2 faced.

Stephen seemed to make peace with Jeff but still tended to band with the rest? And seemed most upset when Jeff made it through to the latter stages of the challenge

Jeff made the challenge and played it the way you should.

Your in it to win it.

Jeff is the main man.

I had my fill of Jeff ages ago. If I never saw him on another episode I'd be happy. He likes to brag and pat himself on the back entirely too much. He brought all the negatively on himself early on in this last competition. Everyone whining about how unfairly he's been treated should go on the show themselves with him and then we will see where the love is.

I sincerely hope he loses this competition. If he was never on another episode it'd be a good thing in my book. Stop feeling sorry for him, he doesn't deserve it I hope jeff loses, I hope he loses, I hope he loses, I hope he loses, I hope Jeff loses.

I love the show, however, this is bringing out the ugly in all the elites, ESPECIALLY Steven. How sorry was that to take thar from Sarah. She had a lot of fight left in her. As a superfan of the show and Steven being one of my favorites, he has just migrated to my least fave. Shame on u Steven. Jeff dont be a sabotour. Compete being a good sport. I have watched every episode of every season. Im not entirely sure this one was a good idea. Its taking from everyone who has fought for years at this and conquered. Did we really need to see the best of the best? When its bringing out the uglyiest of people? Either way, Im watching it. Everyone can draw their own conclusions at the end on who shoulda, woulda, coulda. Steven doesnt deserve another step in the challenge as far as Im concerned.

As someone who is interested in reality and survival shows and the previous XL challenges - here is my take.

The cast is the same and they all behave true to their character as seen in previous seasons, I don't see the pitfalls usually displayed in these shows when they are overdramatised. Not the case so far.

Personally I am really glad they have mixed up the format, to give an example of why that is; you see more activity given they are looking for survival items (nothing out of the ordinary), they also face challenges that help them display the survival skills they all have, to me that is the best part as more interesting things happen in general, which involve problem solving and survival skills.

As long as this show remains true to it's original XL style and focuses on the survival aspects then this will be a 10 from me.

Si, the rules said get your water and fill up gords. It said NOTHING about getting the gourds and filling it up. So, this should eliminate Jeff & Steven for not doing exactly what they were told to do! I love Matt, but some of his teasing and comments were not nice at all. But the 2 didn't follow rules, so I'm unhappy at this show gor even allowing it! Producer should have came over and told them, and maybe even said whomever did the slowest time could have been eliminated from there. Just my point. Out thinking wasn't the rule, it was getting the water first, then filling gourd. Right??

I won't say who got kicked off just saying that it wasn't played the way their map said. Do you all agree?

Normally, I enjoy naked and afraid.

Flops like the "love" one, just didn't ever cut it.

This could have been great. But, the mindsets of humanity continues to break good things.

I'm not a fan of backhanding, deception, lying, bullying etc...

This season show cases the worst of peoples personalities. People group up and take on bullying while justifying their actions which are considerably worse.

Ganging up on people is something we should steer away from and not encourage. But of course, when rules are changed, it leaves room for this to happen.

Ya screwed up discovery. It could have been great, but you didn't do enough homework.

I was really disappointed to see how the 5 team members excluded Jeff when they were supposed to be two distinct camps but playing individually. The producers should not have allowed that to happen. They set up as one camp and excluded Jeff. Why institute rules if the contestants can choose to not follow them. At least Jeff kept trying to the end. I like the show because it shows human resilience in overcoming astronomical circumstances. Don't institute rules the contestants can ignore. Congrats to Taz for the win and to all the contestants for taking on a gruesome challenge. Not sure if I'll continue watching.

I really hate the way things play out. A ring leader gang up on a weird kid. And you know what will happen to this bullied kid in a school environment.

So Matt and minions should not be supported for his attitude.

Matt had my respect till the big bully in him manifests itself.

So we support this show that encourages bullying??

Cant the rest of the players see Matt is manipulative??

Only Gary is the one with sound mind.

Okay i got nothing else to say and i have to fill this up to a minimum word count. Jeez...

STOP the bullying!

Or I am going to stop watching Naked and Afraid !!

Producers...
