** Afften from the Season 4 episode ''Edge of Madness'' has somehow become even more loathed than Cassie and Honora. Reportedly she was taught Cherokee lore by her grandfather, though she showed no sign of having any outdoors skills during her time on the show. She spent the entirety of her one week in the wilderness complaining about everything from missing her family to the taste of the food her partner was providing for her. Some theorize - based on her social media and the show she made of taking off her dress to reveal nothing on under it to the camera when it came time to strip down - that she was more interested in trying to score a modeling contract than proving her skills as a survivalist.

Pretty sure that's no longer a valid trope to use.


* FetishFuel: At least half of the fans of this show probably watch it because of one fetish or another. Of course there's forced nudity, exhibitionism (most of the contestants aren't shy) and voyeurism for a start. Depending on the terrain, mud fetishists may be satisfied by how dirty the survivalists become due to either wading through dirty water or having to use the mud as protection from the sun or insects. And then there's the fantasy of being marooned with a stranger, to say nothing of those with an attraction to the NubileSavage type.
** Averted as the show goes on and the survivalists become dirty, starved, dehydrated and start to become more emotionally disturbed.

* NeverLiveItDown: One episode featured a male survivor subjecting his man-parts to a substantial amount of abuse while climbing a palm tree. He quotes this trope directly when his partner spends the rest of the episode randomly breaking into giggle fits just thinking about the palm tree troubles.

*** Despite having to be evacuated due to severe heatstroke, Honora has somehow been allowed to come back for NakedAndAfraidXL. Given that the one promotional video featuring her so far has her arguing with the two men she's teamed up with, it seems unlikely time has made Honora any more of a team player or taught her any humility.

*** It got worse when she got home and recorded a video boasting of her skills at a time when the partner she abandoned was slowing dying of hunger and a fever. She's said that she'd love to come back on the show. Fan outcry against the idea was near unanimous.

** Both Carrie and Tom from the Season 3 episode ''Hearts of Darkness''. There's some debate as to whether Tom's inflexible attitude regarding his plans or Carrie's desire to explore even when it wasn't a good use of energy was more grating. But everyone agrees that their extraction was a textbook example of what not to do in a survival situation and they both saw their PSR go down despite successfully lasting the full 21 days.

** Honora from the Season 3 episode ''Dunes of Despair'' runs a close second to Afften in the {{Hatedom}} department. She claimed to be honoring the legacy of her Boy Scout father while mocking her partner's vegan diet, manhood, willpower, fitness level, intelligence and smell. She eventually "divorced" him and went on to show her complete lack of survival skills, trying to hunt in the middle of the day IN A FREAKING DESERT!

** Jeff from the Season 2 episode ''Damned in Africa'', for insulting his far more experienced partner Eva, complaining about feminist women in general and crediting his prayers to The Holy Father with securing the food for their survival rather than Eva's superior hunting skills.
** Chris from the Season 3 episode ''Playing With Fire'', for being such a macho jackass that his partner quit rather than put up with his sexism and flirtatious ways anymore.
*** Perhaps more damning was Chris' suddenly having no issues at all accomplishing simple survival tasks once his partner had left, suggesting he had been intentionally holding back to spite her.
** Honora from the Season 3 episode ''Dunes of Despair'' claimed to be honoring the legacy of her Boy Scout father while acting in a very disrespecful manner to her partner, mocking his vegan diet, manhood, willpower, fitness level, intelligence and smell.
