Billy Berger on Naked and Afraid?

<< < (6/8) > >>

bow101:
I guess if they are going to be Naked then so be it.  Then again with all those creepy crawlers around some scant protection is better than nothing..... ;D   It is a rather interesting show, very primitive unlike some shows.  Saw one episode and liked it.  I bet it will be around for sometime.

I don't really watch T.V. but somehow seen a part of this. I am a person who thinks all of T.V. is pretty much bull. I have seen some good movies or documentaries but then again their on a television and aren't specifically T.v. reality shows are such mind washing lately. No not all have hidden conspiracy methods. But their blatantly stupid. No offense to Billy but that show is mind numbingly dumb. What is a main eye grabbing basis of reality shows-drama

Dharma:
Well, if you turn the sound off a TV, turn the lights out, and stand to the side to see how the light changes spectrum and flashes as commercials and so forth come on, you will be seeing a light-device used by a certain totalitarian regime in brainwashing.

But my main point is the whole "naked" thing is sensationalism and, in my opinion, negates any genuineness of the whole show. It's an appeal to the baser instincts of mankind, ones which early societies had to learn to discipline in order to have any cohesiveness. It wasn't all religious and/or cultural taboos. It had a firm basis in pragmatism that if Grod desired Tork's wife, eventually this would lead to violence and clan warfare within the tribe. Clothing doesn't merely protect against the elements, but it provides a shield, so to speak, against someone desiring someone else in a committed relationship. It isn't a perfect shield, but there's a valid reason why people wear wedding rings and so forth. It's not just a symbol to them, but a symbol to others that that person is off limits and, thus, should not be approached as a prospective partner. Clothing also is worn as such that, obviously, one in a relationship doesn't dress to attract partners. No clothing obviously again, shoots this in the foot. One without shoes on, I should add.

Cameroo:
The nudity may have had some "shock value" for some viewers, but I think that anyone that watches any amount of TV or movies these days is pretty much desensitized to it. 

Being fair-skinned myself, I sure felt bad for that to that poor red-headed guy that turned purple from sunburn and had his skin sloughing off of him.  As much as the nudity aspect may have seemed gimmicky, you can't say that it didn't increase the difficulty of what they were doing.

Dharma:
I think we should combine a survival show with some more comedic aspects. Hmmm...how about "Donner Party Dynasty"?
