Imagine meeting a stranger and both of you are nekkid. On this episode we get to find out just how awkward things can get. Imagine being butt naked it in front of a camera crew and producers, as well as your partner. We see at the beginning of each episode the odd small talk the participants go through when they meet for the first time. But how do you react when the deeply southern man rowing the canoe in the Louisiana swamps is the first to see you strip and he's not even part of the crew? And not only are there at least 10 people watching you walk around in your birthday suit, but sometimes the challenges are in places that get pretty chilly at night. Now you must snuggle with the person you met only a few hours prior. Would you volunteer to be the big spoon or the little spoon?

 

Think about getting sick in front of your partner and crew. There is no bathroom you can sneak away to, no door to close, no toilet paper (are a leaves or pebbles person?), no matchstick to burn. You are completely exposed to anyone and everyone in your most vulnerable moments. That's enough to embarrass you enough to ask for as much privacy allowed and not admit you may need medical attention. But an honest conversation with your partner about bathroom etiquette is essential. Like, don't go right outside the shelter so that your partner steps in it. Or bury it a certain depth in the ground. Don't pee in the stream your partner uses as a bathtub. Things like that. I definitely do not mean discuss the consistency your poop has taken since your arrival to your location. Your excrement may be in survival mode, too, but that is a secret you're allowed to keep. Don't ruin Thanksgiving by comparing it to gravy (sorry).

 

Let's play 'what's worse': bug bites in your private areas or leaches on your private areas? Having your time of the month or getting morning wood? Smelling yourself or smelling your partner?

 

It's unimaginable how embarrassing this would all be while you're experiencing it. How much more mortifying is it to see it air on tv? What about them making a special dedicated to all the cringe worthy things you've experienced? There's no escaping the humiliation of being naked and awkward.
