Naked And Afraid Season 3 Episodes 2 Thru 3: 21 Days Of Hell If You Cant Work As A Team

In episode 2 "Blood In The Water" the couple must survive on the island of Andros in the West Indies. There are wild boar, Bahama snakes and some sort of poisonous trees. In the water there are sharks and stingrays. For their survival items, Dani brought a machete and Justin brought a fire starter. 

The initially find a "Blue Hole" (which is a water filled cave system). Fresh water exists on the surface while salt water sinks to the bottom. They take their chances and drink the water since it has been purified by the sun. That was the correct move since they dont get sick. 

Dani catches a sand crab. There are lots of them on the island. You have to stick your arm in their burrow holes to retrieve them. Justin/Dani heard the grunting of wild boar in the night. Justin is not able to kill a pig.  

There are large numbers of gnats near the water hole. Dani and Justin are being eaten alive by them. Justin finds a termite mound which he burns in order to use as insect repellent. It apparently gives off the same chemical that is in moth balls. But the gnats keep on coming. 

 Dani started her period. How exactly does that work in the wild cause that would NOT be fun. 

The Blue Hole cannot support them since there is so little food. They head to the beach. They survive off of coconuts and sea snails. There is also lots of trash that has been washed on shore so they can use some of that. 

They encounter a very serious issue when Dani loses the fire starter. That's not good... AT ALL! You should never take your eyes off your survival items. Luckily they're able to get another fire started which Justin then tends (which means he cant go out and hunt). 

Justin appears upset because Dani catches a fish. Dude who cares who catches the food (as long as there is some food). Justin doesnt want to eat the fish so gives it all to Dani. Again, stupid move. 

Justin continues to spout off. "In the South the man is the head of the household. The woman takes care of the dinner and the clothes".  His father never fixed his own plate of food until the day he died. Seriously? 

The couple argue but are able to work together despite their differences. Dani challenges Justin's ability to hunt. He eventually finds a boa though so they are able to eat. 

They finally make it to day 21. They must paddle two miles off shore to be picked up by the plane. Justin steps on a sea urchin so there is blood in the water. Sharks are starting to appear. Luckily they make it safely to the plane. 

PSR
Dani: beginning 7.6 ending 8.1
Justin beginning 7.4 ending 7.8 

While both people made it to the end, I think Justin's rigid gender roles would seriously hurt them long term. Be happy that your partner has some skills.

In episode 3 entitled "Hearts of Darkness" the couple (Tom and Carrie) must survive in Cambodia. There are poisonous snakes (cobras), spiders and lots of crocodiles. For their survival items Tom brings a fire starter and Carrie brings a machete. 

They make a shelter out of bamboo next to a stream. The temperature at night in Cambodia can drop into the 50s. Tom is uncomfortable sharing body heat with anyone other than his wife. Dude, you're just trying to stay warm. If she was out there, I'm sure sh'ed be doing the same thing. 

They must boil any water before drinking it since stream water contains bacteria. Tom believes there's a huge difference in work ethic between he and Carrie. Carrie goes off on her own. She wants  to do something other than hang out at the camp site for 21 days. She ends up in a cove where crocodiles hunt. She does find some clams though. But she doesnt come back with any tinder for the fire. 

And so the bickering starts. Carrie freaks out. She says Tom has no survival skills. She tells Tom if he left tomorrow, she would be just fine. Tom asks if she wants to go forward as a team or go off alone? She finally calms down. Her severe mood swings might be due to the lack of food. 

Tom finds a few more clams but several are bad. Tom accidentally knocked over the bamboo they were using to carry boiled water for their hike to the extraction point. They have to reboil more. Carrie gets mad and leaves WITH the extraction map. 

She finally comes back and they head to the extraction point. They are 1 1/2 miles from where they should be. They cross the river and manage not to get eaten by crocodiles. Tom builds a signal fire. They are picked up by the helicopter. Obviously this will NOT be a lasting friendship.  
PSR
Carrie: beginning 6.4 ending 4.8
Tom beginning 6.6 ending 5.4

I feel really sorry for anyone who has to be partnered with Carrie. And I dont think it was due to editing cause she really did say that stuff. She has no concept of teamwork. Apparently she was absent the day they went over it in basic training. Both Tom and Carrie's PSR scores dropped due to their inability to work together.
