Im behind on "Naked and Afraid" recaps. I really wish all the best shows were not all on at the SAME TIME on Sundays.
Note: I had previously listed the items that each person brought but it's always a fire starter or a machete/ knife so I'll give up on doing that.
Episode 11: Damned In Africa
Jeff and Eva are in the the Massif D'Isalo desert in Madagascar. There is immediately a culture clash because Jeff is a devout Mormon and Evan is a tree hugger. They must deal with the extreme heat of the desert as well as snakes (ground boas), black widows and scorpions.
They find a cave but it contains lots of black widow nests. Jeff wants to set a fire and smoke the spiders out. Man, I REALLY HATE SPIDERS!!!! I'm all for good karma too (but that doesnt apply to spiders). Smoke the little bastards!
He finds a snake but over cooks the meat. After two weeks without food, Jeff finally finds a little lizard. They have found water in the cave but if they stray too far outside they get extremely dehydrated.
Jeff kills a second boa. Eva has eased up on her desire to not eat animals since they are starving. They plan to smoke the snake but unfortunately end up burning up much fo the cave and their snake at the same time. Just when I think they have the worse luck on the planet they at least find some edible snake eggs.
In the end Eva and Jeff manage to put their differences aside and are able to complete the challenge (again proving that those who can adapt survive, and those who cant die).
Beginning PSR (primitive survival rating):
Jeff: 7.0
Eva: 7.2
Ending PSR:
Jeff: 7.3
Eva: 7.4
Episode 12: Paradise Lost
Keith and Alan are in a deserted island in Fiji. One of the big issues is the extreme heat (even very early in the morning). Keith wanted to quit at one point but got through it after they found some bananas. Stay FAR away from the poisonous sea snakes. There is the usual bickering when everyone is exhausted and starving.
Alana finds Keith in the middle of the night suffering from what looks like a seizure. He is taken to a local hospital and is suffering from possible brain damage and severe dehydration. He has to tap out on day 11. Alana is left alone.
Alana manages not to starve by eating whatever she can find (small crabs, termites, etc). She goes to the extraction point and is picked up. She becomes the first person to survive for 21 days without a partner.
Beginning PSR:
Keith: 6.3
Alana 6.1
Ending PSR:
Keith- 4.5 (had to quit early due to medical reasons)
Alana- 7.0
Grade: No grade is since this is a reality show.
