Weirder still is the TV show "Naked & Afraid", where a man & woman try to survive for 3 weeks in deserts & jungles and such, beginning with no clothes and just a couple of items like a small knife and a tin can.
Some of them make it, some get really upset and injured or sick. I think they pay them well.

(Yes, the naughty bits are blurred for the broadcast.)

I sat amazed for about 1 1/2 shows, then decided it was so stupid that I avoid it now.
