For real with the fish traps...

I'll start off saying what I've led with in the past - I am not a survivalist by any shape of the term. However. WHY do they keep making fish traps? I've seen the majority of all N&A episodes and spinoffs and I really can't remember ANYONE catching a fish in one.

Global Showdown last Stage

Teal on Global Showdown

So I've talked about the other people now to talk about teal. She is a very smart person and is pretty good at Bushcraft but she is impossible to work with unless you're winning every single time. From the very first Day challenge (the torch one) she got upset because Frank didn't use some of the rope that she ripped up. She just seems to be getting a little old and cranky and stuck in her ways. Frank is trying his best to deal with her ass but holy shit if I was her partner I wouldn't be able to keep my composure like frank does. She doesn't seem to want to find solutions she just cares that he offended her😂I'm on the beginning of the raft episode. They work great together when they are winning but I've learned from The apocalypse season that teal is a really entitled individual and does not have a very open mind when she gets upset. It's just hilarious seeing Frank at a loss of words and then teal at a loss of words because she can't even remember what she got offended about in the first place. It's hilarious

Teal AGAIN ep 7 GS

So episode 7 and I know I just posted but ONCE AGAIN frank didn't say anything or do anything AT ALL. HE LOOKED. ALL HE DID WAS LOOK AT WHAT SHE WAS DOING. And she was like WHAT? WHAT? WHATS WRONG!? And then she acts like Frank has a problem😭she so confident until some shit like this challenge pops up😂she's so funny it's almost like it's scripted

Malu the water engineer

Loved that her idea came to fruition so seamlessly. A lot of work that will definitely pay off at the end. Whatever water company she works for, Give her a raise!

Team Mexico in Global Showdown

So...I really hate team Mexico. I love Pablo but Fernanda annoys the living shit out of me. She panics all the damn time she gets super sad and irritated acting like it's pablos fault if they don't win a challenge. And then when they finally do win (in the elimination challenges no less) Fernanda gets so fuckin worked up it's so fucking annoying. Like you just proved your the worst team standing chill out.

She literally jumps onto Pablo and like grinds on his dick it's weird as fuck. She screams like she just took down a Sky people ship in Avatar. Wrong kind of Mexican shawty. Like really if THATS the best female survivalist in Mexico that is sooooooooo sooo very sad and depressing my little sister could do what she does on the show. Get angry,complains about no food when she doesn't even try to catch food😂complains about challenges and then does terrible in the challenges like bruh. I wish I could just blur her whole face and mute her voice cuz she is one unnecessary part of this show. Everyone else is pretty cool except that one girl from Brazil who seems like the most productive thing she can do is sit in the boma and not have to be saved.

Sorry but they really could've found some better female survivalists for Pacific,Mexico and Brazil. They all suck😂

Fernanda

Does ever shut her goddamn mouth? That's gonna be that teams downfall I swear to fuck. She is literally actually giving me a headache and I just skip over her screaming stints.

Darin is a good man. Especially when the product was those jankie shoes of hers (A for effort tho Lulu)

On the latest episode of naked and afraid shipwrecked, Darin was so patient with malu and those shoes. I felt like that's probably the way he looks when he's waiting for a girl to get ready to go on a date. Stay strong and patient Darin you're doing great.

correction: Malu

Alexa is STRONG

Dude, I just started watching the Global naked and afraid, and god damn dude, this woman has MUSCLES, her upper back definition is insane. But I can't help but wonder if the lack of fat will be a problem for her later on, since less fat means less energy stored.

Patrick's Net "Crown"

Do you guys think that he thinks he looks like Jesus? He wasn't letting that thing go. He took it off a few times that I noticed but put it right back on. It doesn't seem to be serving much purpose, like keeping his hair out of his face. It actually looks like it would be more annoying than anything.

Maybe I’m delusional but why do the teams / individuals only make 1 fire?

I’m currently watching the Louisiana episode and all I can think is this:

  1. why don’t they spending an entire day pumping to get as much firewood as possible and,
  2. why are they only making 1 fire? Why not make 2-3 fires in a triangular position to try circulate the heat?

I know you need to balance finding food and building a shelter. But once the shelter is done, shouldn’t sleep be the next priority?

Post Extraction Meal

After rewatching an XL for the 5th time, I noticed that despite being in a foreign country, the post-extraction meal usually consists of incredibly looking American classics. Which would seem to be rare abroad.

Anyone know the back story of the chefs they use? Do they fly out some fire American chefs or something like that?

Blood pressure issue. Don't the contestants have to pass physicals before they are selected?

I find it hard to believe someone can be tapped out for having high blood pressure. I would have thought all contestants would have been required to have a comprehensive physical exam before they would be allowed on the show. It seems like the insurance company would require that. I realize the conditions are rough, but someone doesn't just develop hypertension overnight. He must have had warning signs before the show. Comments?

Global Showdown isn’t Global

I’m really disappointed that over half of the teams are from the United States! They could have easily gotten more teams from countries other than the US. 4 countries is not global! I was hoping to see an Asian country, middle eastern country and/or European countries. Heck, a Scandinavian country too! Point being, I’m from the states and I think we have too much representation in this series!!

Chronological order of all seasons and spins-offs

I made this for my sister to get her to start watching and in the right order. Figured I’d share it in case it helps anyone else 🙂

Alone series

Maybe I have just become too used to seeing our naked people crush it, but I just started branching out and am watching S1 of Alone.

Geez are these dudes whiny little survivors. Are they picked for emotional instability?

They have clothes and all these tools, and yet we just hear them upset about their chance to win half a million dollars. And this is on like Day Five.

Anyone else notice this?

And Jesus do their shelters suc azz.

Spiders and snakes

Are people in that setting really afraid of walking through spider webs? And what's up with Malu's makeshift snake guards? There's some amateur behavior on Castaways that takes me by surprise. You can definitely see two tiers of survivalists emerging.
