‘Naked and Afraid XL’ Season 8 Preview
The latest season of “Naked and Afraid XL” takes viewers to the Peruvian Amazon jungle as 12 survivalists try to last more than a month. The XL rookies are hoping to last 40 days, while the XL veterans are trying to last 60 days and earn the title of “Legend.”
The Discovery press release teases:
The Amazon rainforest of Peru is such a brutal survival location, that just one week into this season’s XL challenge, half of the 12 survivalists will quit or be medically evacuated. In “Naked and Afraid XL: Next Level,” some of the franchise’s most skilled and experienced survivalists prove no match for the Amazon’s relentless threats – 15-foot anaconda, pounding rainstorms, aggressive bullet ants and even poisonous plants. In a franchise-first, a dual-track challenge has this season’s survivalists attempting two different missions – eight XL rookies look to last 40 days, while four All-Stars try to become Legends and conquer 60 days.
Their goals may look different, but these XL survivalists share a common enemy – the unforgiving Peruvian Amazon. With a location so unrelenting, unprecedented measures have to be taken… and “Legendary” reinforcements will be sent in to give the survivalists a chance to defeat the Amazon.
This season, four “Naked and Afraid XL” veterans ready to take on an epic 60-day challenge lead a new generation of challengers eager to earn their 40-day stripes. Spread across one hundred miles of ruthless jungle, the Peruvian Amazon is considered one of the most feared environments on the planet. The survivalists will have to endure aggressive piranha in the waters, venomous fer de lance slithering in the brush and relentless black flies descending from above.
As the survivalists begin dropping like flies, a welcomed surprise on Day 21 may be the ticket to success to see the remaining challengers through. As they say, when the going gets tough, it’s always nice to have an extra set of hands… or two.
The premiere episode is titled “I’m in Big Trouble” and its description reads, “The Peruvian Amazon’s aggressive piranha, venomous fer de lance and even poisonous plants test 12 survivalists. XL rookies look to last 40 days while vets try to make 60 and become Legends. Four survivalists will be gone in the first four days.”
Then on May 8 comes episode two, titled “Amazon Pain Forest.” Its description reads, “Bacteria brings a survivalist to their knees; a painful foot burn has a veteran struggling; conflicting survival priorities spark tension for Amber and Trish.”
“Naked & Afraid XL” airs Sunday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on the Discovery Channel.
