Earlier this year, Discovery Channel introduced a major twist to its long-running reality series Naked and Afraid. The new spinoff Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing pitted 12 experienced survivalists against each other in a 45-day, multiphase challenge. Adding an element of competition – and a $100,000 prize – to Naked and Afraid didn’t go over well with everyone. But the show was a hit with viewers. So, will the show return for another season? Here’s what we know.

Jeff Zausch may not have won Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing. But that hasn’t stopped him from criticizing the other cast members on the Discovery Channel reality series. The Idaho survivalist feels that many of the other people on the Naked and Afraid spinoff didn’t approach the game with the right mindset, which ruined the competition.

Jeff entered the first-ever true Naked and Afraid competition with one goal in mind: to triumph over the other players and take home the $100,000 prize. So when he arrived in South Africa’s punishing Oribi Gorge for the 45-day challenge, he was stunned to discover that the rest of the cast had a different attitude.
Jeff focused on gathering as many of the producer-planted caches as he could so he could keep them out of the hands of the other players.

Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing’s competition format may not have been popular with all the show’s contestants, but it was a hit with viewers. Discovery Channel’s spinoff of its popular reality series Naked and Afraid is the network’s highest-rated series so far in 2023, according to Deadline, attracting more than 15 million total viewers since its premiere in early May.
Unsurprisingly, Discovery has renewed the survival series – which pits 12 all-star cast members against each other in a race for a $100,000 grand prize – for season 2. So far, there’s no word on a possible premiere date or cast. But one controversial season 1 star is eager for a shot at redemption.

Two survivalists tap out in the ‘Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing’ finale
Out of the 12 survivalists who embarked on the Last One Standing challenge more than a month ago, just five remained when the finale began: Jeff Zausch, Dan Link, Waz Addy, Steven Lee Hall Jr., and Gary Golding. All are skilled survivalists with multiple Naked and Afraid challenges under their belts. But each one seriously struggled with the finale’s first elimination challenge, which required them to make a primitive fire and then boil a pot of water.

The latest Naked and Afraid spinoff shakes up the format of the long-running survival reality show by adding an element of competition. But not everyone is wild about the change, including some of the cast members. Sarah Bartell completed three previous Naked and Afraid challenges prior to signing up for Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing. However, she says she has “nothing but contempt” for the new version of the show.
Sarah Bartell weighs in on ‘Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing’
Sarah was one of 12 past Naked and Afraid participants who returned to compete on Last One Standing. The multi-phase challenge began with six pairs of survivalists fighting to last 21 days in South Africa’s remote Oribi Gorge. In a twist, if one person opted to tap out, their partner was also eliminated.
Next came a two-week group competition. The remaining survivalists split into two teams, where they had...

London, June 5 (Ians) Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that although the conditions might be closer to Australia’s liking, it gives the Pat Cummins-led side only a slight advantage over India ahead of the World Test Championship final starting from Wednesday at The Oval.
“If you look at this venue you would think it’s a bit more like an Australian venue than it is an Indian venue. But when I thought back about that I thought well, hang on, last time India were actually in Australia they played our conditions really well, didn’t they?”
“You would think conditions-based only, this slightly favours Australia, but these are two teams that thoroughly deserve to be there. Whoever plays the best in those half an hour spells or stints through the course of every day’s play will end up walking well at the end of the week,” said...

The Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing participants aren’t new to the survival game. But in this spinoff of Discovery Channel’s popular reality show Naked and Afraid, they’re dealing with an entirely new kind of challenge.
Steven, Waz, and Dan in ‘Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing’ | DIscovery
In the latest spinoff of the survival series, 12 top participants from past seasons of Naked and Afraid compete in a multi-phase, 45-day challenge. The contestant who makes it to the end will receive a $100,000 prize. But getting there won’t be easy. They’ll have to endure more than a month in South Africa’s remote and punishing Oribi Gorge, which features rough terrain, wild weather, and dangerous predators. The environment is no joke, with even seasoned survivalists intimidated by the challenges it poses.
