Naked And Afraid Of Love: What We Know About The New Discovery+ Show
Fans want to know everything about the latest reality dating show premiering on Discovery+, Naked And Afraid Of Love. The show is a brand-new spinoff of the wildly popular survival series Naked and Afraid. The cast members will still need to survive in the wilderness, which, in this case, is a deserted island. Alas, these contestants will also be forming connections and trying to find love. Here is what fans need to know about this new, juicy series.
Many fans of Naked and Afraid wondered if the contestants ever hooked up after spending three weeks alone in the wilderness with only each other to keep them company. Naked and Afraid of Love answers the fans' prayers by coupling the contestants up and giving them another goal: to find love on the beach like Bachelor in Paradise. The contestants are sent to different parts of the island with their respective partners and are given a map to the rest of the contestants, where they can all work together to survive and stir up drama.
Eight men and eight women were paired up on Naked and Afraid of Love with the same mission to survive for 21 days on a deserted island in the Philippines. They each got to bring a personal item, with one contestant requesting a guitar for entertainment instead of survival gear. Some of the contestants seem to have more survival training than others, and one is even a returning player who came back to play for love. The contestants are given more resources than on Naked and Afraid, with each pair having the base of a shelter made for them already set up.
On average, the Naked And Afraid Of Love cast is older than other dating shows, with a few of them in their late 20s and most in their early 30s. The process is supposed to bring the contestants closer together by having them rely on each other for survival and be vulnerable. They have a diverse group of contestants from across the US and Canada, from surfers in California to models and bartenders in New York City.
Naked And Afraid Of Love is a unique combination of the scenery and living challenges of Survivor paired with the drama and lust of The Bachelor franchise. Over 10 episodes, the show will aim to bring all of the contestants to one camp to see if tensions will come to the surface and romances will start to blossom. Naked And Afraid Of Love premiered on August 22 to mixed reviews, with some fans finding the episodes repetitive since it follows one couple meeting each other at a time, which happens for all eight couples.
