Naked and Afraid isn’t quite like any other reality show. The Discovery Channel series drops two strangers in a remote location and then challenges them to survive for 21 days – without clothes, water, or food. Each person also gets to bring one survival item. But beyond that, they’re on their own (though a camera crew is close at hand to document their experience).
The show’s participants literally bare all. But audiences don’t see everything that happens. From what it’s like to strip down for the first time to the truth about how involved the show’s producers are in shaping storylines, here are some secrets Naked and Afraid cast members have revealed about being on the show.

It has been a brutal season of Naked and Afraid Xl.
Twelve participants were sent to the African Badlands to survive for 40 days. In the first 28 days, four participants either tapped out or were medically evacuated.
Then came day 29.
After eating tainted fruit that the show helpfully told us were probably "contaminated by the saliva or feces of bats or monkeys," four participants fell deathly ill in a 24-hour period.
Three people have been medically evacuated, while the fate of the fourth, Jake Nodar, hasn't yet been aired. (We'd be willing to bet that he's also out of the challenge.
