Animal Planet is showing Naked and Afraid episodes today. They’re airing Trish’s episode now. I saw it when it was first aired and didn’t think she was so bad but now listening to her talk about herself in her intro and watching her vs her conduct on XL I’m not surprised she’s acting the way she did.

So yeah. They definitely could've and should've been doing more.
Early on in the episode when I was taking note of the people commenting and the others involved I noticed neither of the kids were contributing so I figured this was going to have a bad ending. Both mothers are obviously still visibly grief stricken years after James murdering their children so I’m hoping Derek’s (I think that was his name, right?) mom wins her lawsuit against the police. I can’t even think what it would have been like for her little boy to also lose his mother if James’ shot at her was more accurate. All of this over a parking space. 😡

I really want to see a reunion where all the survivalists can see this play out and speak up and refuse to ever do a challenge with her again.
That would be epic. Imagine Trish’s reaction: Amber was bossy, it’s all in the edit, blah blah blah whatever.
If Discovery is hurting for content they should revive “Clothed and Opinionated” for the XL episodes where Trish is being Trish.-

And, shame on me, but I giggled like a little girl at Trish and Jenn struggling to catch fish, and when they were noshing on those whatevers, I was thinking "DIE B*TCH!" Oh, how I want to see them tap without Amber to provide for them!
I watch the reruns of the previous episodes Sunday afternoons before the 8pm episode. This past Sunday when they showed an episode with the 3 of them out by the river fishing, dock building or whatever ***I think*** Trish was the one who noticed the caiman and pointed it out. Later on Amber coached Jen on how to grab the one that was on the line … so later on how come between the 2 of them were they not able to catch at least one of them? And no, that net was not genius. Seeing it on TV and knowing how fish flip and flop when caught one can see how poorly built it is for its intended purpose.
Watching Trish’s tired, lazy act and Jen’s reaction of “I can’t do this alone” was fun to watch but despite this I do think they’ll make it to 40 ok, remember that dock can serve as a raft and it’s mostly built so they won’t have to waste energy on that. The one thing I do want is to never, ever see Trish on this show again. Jen on the other hand, it would depend on who she’s paired with. She was a real disappointment IMO.-

Given that CBS has "The Real Love Boat" starting in the fall, there might be a rights issue involved in this matter.
If this is “real” then what was what we were watching all these years? Not real? 🤣🤣. I guess it’s their way of naming it to not get it confused with the original but it’s from so long ago it might not make a difference? I watched the original back in the day so it could be interesting to see who would show up on this version.

I'm really glad Amber found her new team. I could do w/o all the bro's, brothers...yada yada yada. Bro, bro, bro, bro, BRO, bro, bro, bro GAHHHH !
That was excessive … then they called themselves the jungle gangsters (or something like that), at least they didn’t immediately sit down and make a stupid sign.

There really needs to be some sort of system that ID/Oxygen has to promo new seasons of shows. I'll have to record the next reruns. Is this a new season?
Yes, it’s a new season. At the end of last nights episode they had a season preview. ID has been running a commercial lately about upcoming new episodes for some of their shows and Fear Thy Neighbor but don’t give dates. So yes they should do a better job of promoting when they’re going to be airing.

So, I just saw this on Reddit, and my opinion of Amber shot way way up. She can view episodes, look back at herself, and realize she has more to learn about working with people. She is humble, reflective, and apologetic. I would be interested in seeing if either Trish or Jen have expressed themselves similarly on social media.
I saw the same posting there too and while I was generally supportive of Amber through the episodes my opinion of her has risen. There’s also a post from Matt that’s pretty diplomatic in saying don’t blame the edits that made you look bad on TV.
Talking about Matt, Dan and Waz - handling that anaconda, wow. When they were talking about the spiritual nature of it with reference to the natives, my thinking was, then you’re going to eat it? That’s nuts! Respect to them for letting it go despite its size. Just wondering though if that’s another one of those animals that are on the do not kill list in exchange for filming there.
EJ trying to nab that eel - it seems any time there’s an eel catch there’s 2 people involved. Hoping he gets it but having help could increase the chance.
With both 3 person teams thriving I’m wondering which one is going to move since they all usually join up into one team. I’m eager to see how well they all work together.-

Loving Amber! Loving Trish and her lapdog getting nothing.
I’m glad Amber found EJ and Steven and they’re working together so well. This is the show I want to watch, along with Matt, Dan and Waz.
It’s funny that when Jen talked about all the teammates she’s lost she’s sitting next to the person who helped drive one of them away.
So it takes 2 of them to catch a little fish with that crappy net. Then that crappy fruit. Not so tough are they?-

I am truly interested to see how Trish/Jen do on their own. I suspect that they will be fine, but I think I'm the only one on the board that feels that way. Amber will join up with some other legends, and complain about the people who wouldn't take her advice.
They should be fine based on how they each did on their challenges prior to this XL however Jen’s reaction to Amber announcing she’s leaving (What? You’re leaving without discussing it first?) made me think she’s certain they’re screwed, undermining themselves and their survival abilities. If at the time she was aware Amber overheard their conversation with Jeff she might have thought differently, who knows.

@Captain Asshat yes 100% to both of your posts.
Rewatching the first episode, Amber/Trish/Jen had a (seemingly) quick discussion and resolution about the shelter spot, building, etc. No conflicts then. That roof? It should be secure enough for it to be toasty warm as well was waterproof - I’m not sure if I missed something but why did they even stop working on the shelter at all before all the fireworks started - it got too dark? That’s the part I’m not clear on but yeah, that’s about the time the problems started. Then later with the fishing line and that crappy net. Trish has the nerve to take ownership over Jeff’s fishing line, I hope she struggled with catching fish with it, along with finding lousy bait. I suppose they’ll get their “savior” catch right before extraction but if they’re going to attempt it from the spot where that dock is, good luck with making it through those hyacinths. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Then with Jeff’s arrival, boo on the producers not making the teams 3-3-3 but whatever.Dan had mentioned that he spoke with Matt before the challenge for advice so no surprise he’s delighted to take some mentoring from him.
Steven did need EJ for help, even if it was just for someone to talk to and be able to answer back and have a real conversation.-

Glad the drama with the women is over - or I hope. So Jeff, Trish and Jen were going to leave Amber in the middle of the night but they’re surprised when Amber says she’s leaving the group with no discussion? I’m glad Amber took the high road with her pep talk exit speech saying they’ll do well in their remaining 10 days. Even if they don’t catch much it isn’t that long, maybe they can weave another mat in the meantime 😆😆😆 But the big mystery is what will Trish and Jen have to talk about now that Amber is gone????
Their remarks about not being able to leave after Jeff tapped sounded like they feel like Amber is keeping them hostage. Watching them fish and catch nothing while Steven and EJ are catching one fish after another was pretty funny. Whichever camp Amber ends up with it looks like she can do well, I hope she was able to leave that bad experience behind her.
7 hours ago, PaperTree said:Thanks for that sweet cup of Schadenfreude Jeff. Bye! Don't let the fancy door hit ya. Too bad they didn't leave before he got yanked.
I was wondering if even though he wasn’t 100% at the time if they would have left that night if it hadn’t rained. Although it’s better the way it worked out what they were planning would have been interesting to watch.

I was expecting a tap out in last nights episode but I wasn’t sure who would decide to leave. The first one after 15 days - this is a hearty bunch, I’m glad that we didn’t get anyone who taps out at the first sight of a hint of potential danger. Now I’m wondering how long the winner will be out there. Several of them appear to be pretty good at catching fish, that brook trout looks pretty tasty. Usually on these survival shows I’m cringing at what the survivalists are eating - bugs, snakes and worms are a big no from me but my mouth was watering at the thought of the taste of that trout.
15 days out in the wilderness must have given Jacques some more of an idea of what he really wants. Time alone with only your thoughts will do that to you.-

I wish the "other network" would do the same.
One can only hope … if CNN’s ratings improve as a result I wouldn’t be surprised if they do.

@AZChristian interesting point about Jeff’s “vomiting”, I’m probably going to watch the re-air Sunday to see. I wouldn’t be surprised regarding any loose scripting here. Someone has to be doing well in this group, right?😆

I hope -- and I know this hope will be dashed -- that whatever Jeff's suffering from will make him tap, and the women will remain a threesome. My larger hope -- and I know this hope will be dashed -- is that Amber leaves the group and thrives (possibly with one of the other groups), Jeff taps, then Trish and Jen won't be able to finish the challenge, because they can't eat beds and signs.
I’m hoping the previews aren’t a ruse - Amber moves on and Jeff taps because of whatever his ailment is … or at least is that much of a detriment to the group as a whole (after Amber leaves) that Trish is resentful that she has to carry the group as far as catching fish, etc.
I didn’t keep track of how many days have passed so far during Sundays episode but I think it’s getting close to 30 so I figure the chances of Trish and Jen making it to 40 are pretty good. With that said I was thinking about future XLs and who’d show up again to possibly attempt 60 days - if Trish is one of them I’d be tempted to not tune in but this depends on whoever she’d be teamed with.

I must be the only one who can’t stand Trish and her passive-aggressive 💩. I’d rather be around Amber than her. BTW, what did they put on that stupid sign? It looked like “Taj Mazal.”
No, I can’t stand her either, mainly because when we see her working on what she thinks is important it’s some me-centric or useless garbage like that net that seems to have disappeared.
That sign is dumb.
50 minutes ago, PaperTree said:I'm with you. Born and raised and lived in New Jersey for 63 years and this "Jersey Girl" schtick is just an excuse to be rude/mean girl. I've seen my sister do it.
Another born and raised “Jersey Girl” here and I find it offensive that Trish uses that as an excuse for her behavior. There are plenty of nice people here and she’s giving us a bad rep.

I think what we are seeing with the women's group is the scriptwriter's plot. Amber is difficult, Jeff spreads the gossip, Amber gets pissed, and leaves. Maybe to meet up with Steven and EJ. I think the conflict is just a plot line. (Not that being a PITA doesn't come easily to Amber)
I’m not sure if what’s going on with the women’s group started out script generated or not but I’m certain once they planned to send in the 3 legends they couldn’t help but send Jeff to a still intact team that wasn’t getting along … just to pour gas on the fire. IMO I think Steven should have gotten more than one person for help despite the fact he’s completed a 60 day challenge already as well as others, just to make the camps 3-3-3.
7 minutes ago, madmax said:It's hard to choose between Jeff and Amber. I don't like them both equally.
But Jeff really is stirring the shit. "She told me you guys don't like to boil water." Would a true leader share that info? Nope. He just wants them to side with him and force Amber out, which I really wouldn't mind, but then we'd be stuck with Mr. I Live For This!!!!
I’ve never been much of a fan of Amber but I don’t hate her either. I would like to see her get 60 days though (maybe we won’t see her again & see someone else?) but how well does she think she knows Jeff that she could tell him something that could blow back in her face, especially someone who has pulled garbage before to antagonize people? As far as Jeff the showboater is concerned if he does what he was “hired” to do for this XL and is done for good with this show I’ll be okay with that. Time for some new regular cast here.

Jeff isn’t being good. He’s stirring the 💩. I hope he has to tap out.
Based on the preview clip they showed last night I’d say a tap out is a definite possibility. 🤣

Wonder if this behavior comes from her military background
I was wondering the same thing too - I’m guessing probably. By now you’d think maybe Amber should realize she should adjust a bit with Trish?
Jeff seems like he’s stirring the pot than trying to be a mediator. He says he wants to take Trish and Jen under his wing - what makes him think he’ll do any better? He wants to catch a big eel so he’ll need help, who’s going to put down their weaving or sign making long enough to do that, lol. Trish told Jeff she caught 3 fish “just like that” the other day while Amber is out all day fishing. Okay, so why isn’t she out there catching the treasure trove of fish? She doesn’t consider the food sources are drying up like the other camps have noted. Idiot.
I’m concerned for both Dan and Steven, they both don’t look so good with the weight loss. I hope Steven and EJ find Dan/Waz/Matt to team up. I want to see more of the men and how well they’re working together, not this cringey women not getting along drama garbage.-

I don't know how many more days he has than Matt and Stephen, but I kind of hope that he taps early and one of them can pass him by making it to the end.
I’d think amongst the 3 of them total days done would be close already if their regular Naked and Afraid appearances are included. Plus Steven did that 14 day challenge in Alaska which in my opinion is a pretty impressive thing to accomplish.

I have an early crush on Igor. When I saw his name, I immediately said out loud, "Do you know a young doctor by the name of Fronkensteen??"
I was thinking, oh it’s “Eye-Gore”, ha ha.
I’m rooting for one of the women to make it to the end. I think Jessie - the former SERE (?) instructor has a better chance.Anyone here watch Naked and Afraid? Watching Karie when she shot the grouse and how she quietly celebrated made me think she’s the polar opposite, anti Jeff (who has a habit of yelling each time he makes a catch, no matter how many times he’s done it to the annoyance of everyone else)
I thought Juan Pablo’s use of the cans for a stove/chimney was pretty clever. Hope it works well for him.
It looks like it’s still pretty “warm” there if no one is stressing about building a fire yet unless they each brought some toasty clothes with them.

Anybody have the name of this ep? So I can find it on my On Demand? I screwed up and hurt myself and missed it. Thanks!
I think it’s “The Legends Return”

If the reenactment was accurate regarding the driveway setup it wasn’t like he was ever going to be blocked in by anyone else’s car either. Some people just can’t be reasoned with and he demonstrated that in spades.
