Over-representation

Naked and Afraid officially jumps the shark with this spin-off. And like later seasons of Naked and Afraid, the LGBT-alphabet soupers are over-represented.

The whole point of Naked and Afraid was that it was NOT Survivor: no silly contests, no competition against the other participants. It was a semi-realistic reality show that was cute in taking itself overly seriously. Now, having beaten the original concept to death, the producers tried to turn it into a Survivor style game competition. Jeff was the only participant to overtly treat it as such, but my main beef is with the entire concept, not how the participants dealt with it.

Later seasons of Naked and Afraid and now this spin-off over-represent gays and lesbians and over-highlight gay and lesbian issues. There are at least two lesbians and one gay in the participants: over-representation. The gay guy on this show said he felt negativity from other participants, and speculated maybe it was because he is gay. Maybe, but no evidence of this made it into the show, so it came off as typical SJW faux outrage: "I'm offended and oppressed. Gibs me $100K."
