  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A true survival show would have the people genuinely "natural"...but how many people would watch if the women were required to to let their natural hair patterns grow (pits, pubic, and legs), were required to deal with hygiene the same way they eat...which would literally mean blood flowing down their legs monthly until they found something in nature to catch it....etc. They also wouldn't be allowed to bring anything with them that everyone watching wasn't aware of.

And is sex off limits? because it would be the most natural way for two people to get warm....spooning with your "junk touching" sounds like a ploy to get men to watch...it is like mini skirts...where you look just in case you get a peek at something you shouldn't be seeing. Do they spoon with the man in the little spoon position to minimize contact?

Well, they are able to modify their environment with the resources. Survivalists never really go into a situation with no resources. Survival is like a game where rules are defined by the person/group going out to test themselves. So the unique rule in this game is they don't have clothes.

Its like when I climbed the 48 highest peaks in NH. There is a game that was defined many years ago now that says what people have to do to say they have been to the 48 4000' peaks in NH. It was defined by like 3 people one weeks a few decades ago. Most people accept the handful of rules, like have to walk up and walk down, IE can't take a car up Mt. Washington to the peak. But I could define my own game just as well. So there is no inherent rule that one has to shave or can't save, or deal in some modern way with a woman's cycle. They don't even have to stay naked beyond the time they are dropped off. Some make clothes pretty quickly.

The Camera men/women are only there during the day filming. The subjects have a camera that they can use to record themselves at night if they want to. So what happens for half the day is only going to be filmed of the the couple wants it to be.

They are officially allowed to bring "one item"...I highly doubt that all the women picked a razor as their one survival item...I think the purpose of the show is to give men at home a reason to look at naked young women "legally". One woman stated that they gave her a tampon. What else are they giving so that the show meets its entertainment factor? This is just as stupid as the show where 4 brides rate each other's weddings to win a honeymoon. Neither has a valuable contribution to society...even as entertainment alone.
