That was a great article. Only ever seen the first season because it’s impossible to watch in my country, but I’m very glad they added women, and a little less glad about how they seem to be portrayed...
My only gripe with the article would be the cultural appropriation of survival techniques part.
Of course people that…

After college I worked as a fishery observer in Alaska. It was a weird, isolating gig and it was even more isolating being an observer, because the fishermen all had each other and we were there to keep them on the straight and narrow.
I watched the sixth season of this show and then went back to see the first one, and the differences between the two is striking. But I didn’t even get into a few episodes of season one because it was all dudes. And they all seemed like idiots so I bailed. What I noticed about season six was that just about every guy…
Anyone of any gender who has spent any time in a remote location knows that humans will be your biggest threat.
Genuine curiosity, how do you think things would get pretty dark? But spot on observation. When I catch myself doing it, I am internally livid that I have to do a simple Jedi mind trick to defuse a situation so I don't get raped, beaten, murdered or somehow punished for contradicting or hurting their ego.
This was a terrific article. I binged Naked and Afraid at the start of the pandemic and the thing that stood out to me was the exhausting amount of energy the women had to put into managing the male egos. They couldn’t be better at fishing or fire starting; they couldn’t be forceful with their ideas; and they HAD to…
Trump voting is just a symptom of the backwards thinking in these regions.

I do. I hope they all get theirs. I do and I have for a very long time now and will until I die. There are not two sets of very basic rules to live by, yet people choose to do whatever the fuck they want, and for that I cannot abide.
They sleep well because nobody will retaliate.
Yeah, I get that. But voting for evil policies is still removed from actually committing evil acts. But I guess this is where we are now.
How? Maryville MO is the county seat of Nodaway County. 77% voter turnout last month, with Trump getting 70% of the vote.
On top of a pile of money and privilege, secure in the knowledge that consequences are for the little people.
society just does not have to be this way, the cruelty is appalling. I don’t know how the Barnetts sleep at night.
God damn it. I had a feeling this was going to happen. As a mother, I can’t imagine being able to survive all of the shit this woman had. RIP
My heart goes out to the 2 surviving sons. I hope they’re able to process all of this in time.
Why in God’s name is William even watching it? My parents’ divorce was ugly and incredibly protracted (the custody battles went on for years) but it wasn’t even half as bad as Charles and Diana’s. The very last thing I would want to do is relive it. I find it painful just thinking about it. Don’t do that to yourself,…
Oh, William, if you think someone else is exploiting your family for money, you’d better not check out your family history then!
Megxit is a racist and innacurate term, please stop using it.
