‘Naked and Afraid’ Contestants Face Killer Crocodiles & Aggressive Hippos in New Season Trailer (VIDEO)
Uh-oh! Contestants are in peril from man-eating crocodiles, aggressive hippos, and toxic frogs as a new group of survivalists faces the ultimate challenge in the season premiere of Naked and Afraid on Sunday, February 18, on Discovery Channel.
In the opening episode, a hunter and a farmer combine their expertise to survive 21 days in South Africa. However, when wildlife proves elusive, the survivalists take a perilous risk for sustenance.
Later in the season, two veteran fan-favorite survivalists return to mentor newcomers in a challenging all-women tribe scenario in Colombia. Meanwhile, a pair of Naked and Afraid critics test their armchair survival knowledge in a 14-day fan challenge, and a survivalist grapples with menstruation in the heart of the African bush. Scarce food resources and mosquito-infested tropics are just the beginning of the challenges these survivalists will face.
