I don’t remember if it was Duke or James who noted that they probably didn’t have anything that Jeff and Laura would want to trade for but I give them kudos for coming up with the idea and acting on it. As for Jeff, he probably would not be a good chess player (thinking ahead a few steps in a variety of scenarios due to how the opponent may respond). He looked a bit surprised at the trade offer Even if Jeff gave them 4 fishhooks he still had the advantage in catching something with what he had left. Then there was the effort that both had to make in finding bait - since there were so many hooks in the water I guess that wasn’t an issue? The show sometimes has a way of delivering some karma, this bunch now knows how Jeff and Laura operate so I hope the others will be able to deliver it! 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69645-naked-and-afraid-xl-general-discussion/page/9/#findComment-5416309

Are they? Well...that's so different. Pfft. No! I am *so* tired of hearing about their great 60 day challenge. I mean, at this point in the challenge, they have the same number of days to extraction as the rest, they've been doing well on proteins and shelter, so I really think they're actually on a better footing than the other groups and can STFU. Now, if they were staying for an additional 20 days after the others, I'd possibly agree with them. This is not to take away from what they did in their initial 20 days. It was rough, and the boat trip was brutal. But they've moved beyond that, and have thrived with the items they were given. They were provided with a boat, which was done so they could make their way to the island. I know...but it also allowed them to fish offshore much easier than the other groups. Weren't the hooks and line also provided with the boat? I honestly can't remember.

And it might be an act to launch his pretend career, but so much has changed about him since he met up with E.J. ( And wasn't it E.J. who did the Amazon challenge with Laura, where she expressed disappointment in his arrogance and machismo instead of respecting the gift of nature? She made that guy cry!) Now that you mention it wasn't it just at the beginning of this XL when they were doing their 21 days in the jungle that Laura wouldn't let Jeff take the last snail they found as thank you to nature for providing for them? They wanted some good karma. I don't know what happened to her. She completely forgot about any good deeds. Although she was just weirdly silent in one of the shots when eating the eel (second or third?). I think on the inside she is ashamed. I understand the hunger can be brutal and can change your perspective on food but at that point they were not starving and could share at least half of the last eel with the other people. They had huge protein meal 3 days in a row plus tons of bananas and plantains. All they miss is a humble pie... I wonder how the hooks were distributed between everyone. Because if they were given the hooks in addition to their 2 items then how come 1 tribe of 4 doesn't have a single hook while 1 tribe of 6 has 10 (Russel's?) and Laura and Jeff have 20? Was the 10 hooks Russel had one of his items? That would make more sense then. But then does that mean that Jeff and Laura each came with 10 hooks as one of their items? Usually the production makes sure that a team (usually 2 people) doesn't end up with two of the same item (or item with the same function like machete and knife for example). I understand the boat was extra and if they didn't have that small extra advantage of having it (and not just to get from the jungle to the beach but use it for fishing afterwards) it would be impossible for them to push to the end of 60 days. They had really long trip on the sea that took over 12 hours and that's after already done the 3 weeks so they really needed that small advantage to keep going. I also think that's why they got to send to that specific beach with tons of resources. The other teams were sent to way worse places since they were just starting fresh. But I wish they would explain the hooks. Anyway the situation about food and items - that's how and why all the killing and wars started thousands of years ago... Glad to see that nothing changed... Imagine if everyone would share. People never change no matter what. Thousands of years of evolution, history and we didn't learn anything and this is where it leads anyway. Imagine what would these people do if there were no cameras and were left there for another month... 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69645-naked-and-afraid-xl-general-discussion/page/9/#findComment-5416956

There was a caption in the 7pm “new” episode that said Jeff brought fish hooks and line for his item to the challenge. I watched the rerun the other day and tried to note what he brought when they started the 21 day portion in the jungle. No fish hooks mentioned. I don’t recall them switching items to another item for the 40 day portion. So there is something else going on here. I have a problem with Jeff’s rationalization of his behavior - he’s told the others in so many words he’s not going to feed them. Okay, fine. There was no discussion of dibs on the entire river and all of the food in it which he is doing. They didn’t show how many hooks he had when he caught the first one but I’d bet he didn’t have all 20. When the others had 4 to set I’m sure he panicked and had to get all of them in there. The others’ work in trying to get an eel (bartering for hooks plus trying to elbow a hook in a spot in the river) really shows how much of a jerk Jeff is in this challenge. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69645-naked-and-afraid-xl-general-discussion/page/9/#findComment-5427711

(I'm 60) So Laura pretends to find a conscious and magnanimously decides to trade half of her tiny eel for the fee of one banana per person. So she gets the water concession in hell. Greedy (self-proclaimed) devout Mormon Jeff is appalled!!! by this modicum of (production induced?) compassion. Don't make me clutch my pearls, asshole. If this were real, those lower "others" would have crushed your skull days ago. That dinner "party" was cringeworthy. Of course Jeff will happily use those beneath him to have "safety in numbers" on this trek. Then he wants to ditch them, again. Karma train, karma train..... Everybody was so supportive of James and then Charlie, except for Jeff and phony Laura. If there were a $million at stake for the "winner", and everybody was playing a game, it would be totally the way to go, but there is no prize (that we know about). I need to nose around the Twitter. Should be hilarious. eta: They don't have a lot of fans 🙂 Edited July 8, 2019 by PaperTree 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69645-naked-and-afraid-xl-general-discussion/page/9/#findComment-5428165

Cobb Salad July 8, 2019 Share July 8, 2019 So it looks like their new area doesn’t have a big river to cast many hooks to catch eels, oh no! It was nice of Laura to share her part of the eel, I think asking for bananas in exchange was kind of silly, given they have plenty of their own still. Jeff wants to trek through the jungle firing on all thrusters which is pretty easy to do when he’s been eating pretty well all along vs everyone else who have been barely surviving. At least we were spared the yelling and chest thumping this week. Regarding Russell and now Charlie, I don’t get how they would rather stay to finish when their health is in danger. Watching Charlie in the cave shivering must have been scary to see in person. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69645-naked-and-afraid-xl-general-discussion/page/9/#findComment-5428321

It's revealing how many greedy assholes will support one of their own, with Laura trying to pull off some redemption bullshit.

I think she HAD to do the banana thing out of fear Jeff would have bashed her head in with a stone in her sleep for "poisoning" their experience. Jeff is already sick, he has a terminal case of Assholitis, and he also has a nasty as-of-yet non-treated case of BetterThanYouitis. You can't cure the first but hopefully a nice dose of 'remedy' for problem 2 is on it's way for Jeff. I think Laura is running out of her Jeff love... at least I hope I saw a flicker of it in her eyes. Now that the whole group has been together more, and what with her being an actual human, she's more involved with them as their journey has intertwined. I'm sure Jeff will no longer refer to her as 'the best partner ever' at the top of his lungs now that she's shown such weakness. 1 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69645-naked-and-afraid-xl-general-discussion/page/9/#findComment-5428868
AUJulia July 8, 2019 Share July 8, 2019 On 7/6/2019 at 4:09 PM, Cobb Salad said: I’m surprised they let people who have spent the night in a medical tent return - in addition to recovering from what caused them to get the medical assistance in the first place, they get to spend the night on a much more comfortable (I’m assuming) cot in a warmer area away from the bugs, etc. They get a recharge that the others don’t get. I’m guessing since there’s no monetary prize at the end returning is no big deal. As for Jeff and Laura I hope in the end they realize how they’ve appeared to the audience like Russell apparently has, or perhaps the show has a curve ball or two for them that will entertain us. I’ve been wondering how this 60 day challenge thing would have proceeded if Matt Wright was involved instead of Jeff. I think Matt would act like a man instead of an adolescent. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69645-naked-and-afraid-xl-general-discussion/page/9/#findComment-5428900

SassyCat July 8, 2019 Share July 8, 2019 Just saw the last two episodes. I LOATH jeff. Laura was a pretty big ass screaming when she caught the big eel knowing full well the poor other people were starving. The way jeff condescending sneers about the little "snack" of the viper the 6 others shared, while gloating the whole time makes him about the worst human being ever to be on N&A in my book. Actual gloating and rubbing in their faces that they only had a tiny snake to share. What a piece of crap he is. I do hope that tree falls down right him. He is the most obnoxious ass ever! I am glad Laura shared her half of the smallest eel with the group. Did you see how pissed Assjerk was when she did that? I hope every one on earth jeff, with a small j, sees this show and knows what kind of human being he is and isn't. I can't measure the disgust I feel for him. Laura isn't too much better with encouraging him to yell around poor starving people with no hooks, their own glee at full bellies. Poor Charlie and Russell, my heart breaks for them. I can't wait till next week where we see jeff SUFFERING. I hope he has to tap. I do not want people to help him. Hey every man for themselves...right jeff? with a small j, and small in every other way that counts too. Small hearted fucker. Karma, I hope it's your bitch. For a looong time. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/69645-naked-and-afraid-xl-general-discussion/page/9/#findComment-5429483
