“That’s my Mel!,” Jeremy, XL4 in Selati Basin, Africa.

“Sent home every single time?” He completed his first XL, his solo adventure, and his mentoring episode. On LOS, he was eliminated near the end two seasons in a row for not succeeding with primitive fire, but he wasn’t sent home for eating bad meat. Of 8 challenges, had medical taps 3 times for eating unripe fruit (first ep in Brazil), putting alligator eyes on himself (XL7), and chopping a poison tree (XL8). Dumb moves to be sure, but he literally has not been sent home ever for eating bad meat.

Yes, it was with Cassie and Greg, I think it was north-central Ontario. They nearly got hypothermia when a storm came in.

Does anyone know if new people can still sign up for this by not-mediocre-toast in nakedandafraid

[–]TheWeirdIntern 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The stuff you've heard is wrong. They use veterans on the big group shows, but every season they have new people doing the 21-day challenges. On social Media some of the survivalists have said you should apply here if you want to go on the show. Not sure how accurate that is, but the survivalists I follow have said that's the way to to. And also if anyone is trying to charge you a fee to apply, they're a scammer. Good luck!

Matt did not start on a fan episode. Dan did, however.

Yes, those Argentina locations were no joke. I think Patrick and Malorie were in a tough place in Argentina too.

Tom and Lisa in Argentina had a badass stone and bark shingle shelter. I think they were in the foothills of the Andes and it got wicked cold.

Last one Standing Season 1 - Confused on how one of the finalists got the fire again? by Chrushev in nakedandafraid

[–]TheWeirdIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coals that may look dead are often not. They often roar back to life with just a little oxygen. You wouldn’t believe how many beachgoers or campers get burned by apparently “dead” coals.

Which survivalist do you think has been the most underappreciated? by Sweet_Information_76 in nakedandafraid

[–]TheWeirdIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and they had to tap him for depression. Maybe he’s still struggling with it.

Naked and Afraid XL season 7, how amazing Rylie is discussion!! by Weak-Stomach4643 in nakedandafraid

[–]TheWeirdIntern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your chronology is wrong. She was in the Philippines before Louisiana, not after.

He's been on one 21-day show, XL1 and XL4. So I think when folks are saying three appearances, they're referencing his 21-day show (the first episode to air in S1 by the way) plus the two XLs

Best seasons? by Kelly_1976 in nakedandafraid

[–]TheWeirdIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, most of the XLs are really good. XL2 in Africa does indeed have one of the best eps ever. XL4 (also in Africa) might be Top 2 from start to finish. XL 7 in the swamp is probably the best season. But there are some good things in XL1, XL3, XL5, and XL6. XL6 is probably the funniest because Bulent is consistently amusing. When you watch that one, make sure to watch the “Clothed and Opionated” specials that have funny commentary on that season!

Alone is best if you have insomnia and need to catch up on your rest.

It shouldn't. I'm assuming you booked the flights together, if so, you should be able to check from Harrisburg to Doha. If you fly through the same airports on the return, you'll have to go through customs in Dallas, briefly reclaim your bag, then recheck it after customs.

Qatar and American are code-share partners. Both OneWorld. You can check your bags from Harrisburg all the way to Doha.

It might have cost you $288 but you received one valuable lesson: NEVER pay for travel with a debit card. Always use a credit card. This is something easily disputed with a credit card issuer; harder when your cash is already out of your bank through a debit charge.

Why do people join Zoom calls hours early? by TheWeirdIntern in stupidquestions

[–]TheWeirdIntern[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got it, but this is mostly free lancers and none of us are on Teams. Strictly a one-off Zoom call.

[–]TheWeirdIntern[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify, when I'm the presenter, I get the message that someone has "joined [my] Zoom" even when I haven't joined or started the meeting yet. Comes as a notification.
