In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

For anyone tired of modern TV’s virtue signaling, Naked and Afraid XL is refreshingly untouched by woke ideology. It sticks to raw survival , not social engineering. Relatively non-woke wilderness fare.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show centers on real, unscripted survival scenarios, with casting based on demonstrated outdoors skills. There’s no noticeable focus on forced identity politics or highlighting traits like race or gender over capability. The narrative sticks to good old-fashioned grit and survival drama, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditionally masculine and feminine traits are both put to the test, and the value of perseverance, teamwork, and self-reliance is highlighted. No attempts are made to revise cultural norms or take shots at family, faith, or tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

If there’s any ideological thread, it’s ‘don’t starve in the jungle.’ Participants come from a variety of backgrounds and belief systems, and the show doesn’t really engage in culture war messaging, unless you think mosquito bites are woke.
