E192: Alana on the Reality of Reality Survival TV with

In this episode, we sit down with Alana Barfield two-time contestant on Naked and Afraid; the reality survival tv show. She’s going to defend against internet trolls, tell us the reality of reality tv, bullies us, and organizes our sock draw to get us ready for the zombie apocalypse or whatever comes next…

Reality Survival TV is very popular and has been for some years now. And Alana jumped in naked and unafraid, as many of you know. In fact, we pretty much owned her episodes.

But we all had a lot of questions about the reality of reality survival tv. There were also questions about whether or not she’s really as big of a hot-tempered-bitch as she looked on the show. (She is a ginger, after all.)

And for those of us that knew her personally, it seemed out of character. Then there was how real is the survival experience portrayed. So now she sits down with us to share an honest behind the scenes look at the reality of reality survival tv or at least the show she was on.
