There is a new realty show on the television called Stripped, and I caught one episode this week with this cutest couple. I really like these two people....and the rules of the show are that you are stripped of every last thing you have including your clothes. You are stripped naked....and have to sleep on your floor naked the first night...every day you can get only one thing back...your choiceof what, and you have to go to the storage room to get it yourself.... ...this goes on for 21 days..... You can keep your pets and everything they need only from the onset but cannot use anything of theirs....That is good, at least.... If you ask for a bed back, it is only that and not the bedding....just the frame and mattress.....etc....and you have to walk to the storage and carry whatever it is you want back home yourself....or get a friend to help you put whatever it is you need in their car. I would not do this. I would not be on tv naked, although they do blur those parts out for public viewing....A friend can buy you something, if you want..... The guy in this episode was fashioning cover up clothes made from stuff off of tress the next day for himself and his wife...A real Tarzan. he was good sported...but the wife was very depressed at first. She is a red carpet walker and missed her make up, although she looked fantastic without it. I saw her as beautiful. Here is a short video from the episode I saw..... and this game is to list in order which 21 things you would want back.....in order of importance to you. This show made me think long and hard and realize the things important and needed by me, so I will start the game in next answer here....
1. Long to the floor....lol.... sweatshirt robe that zippers cover up 2. blanket 3. pillow 4. slippers 5. fouton 6. TV 7. toothbrush 8. tooth paste 9. Dr. Bronners Eucalyptus soap 9. towel 10. car 11. phone um...I will think on the last 10 and get back here...but those were my immediate needs.
it sounds silly and is that even legal? i've had no more then i can carry on my back a few times. it something, more people should be able to experience both extremes, having nothing and having everything. obviously not possible at the exact same time. reality tv is one of those things we used to call oxymorons. well i guess the idea is what would you want back furst. well my computer and an internet connection. not so much an addiction, but you see, i can simulate almost everything else on it, all the things that interest me. now that's assuming they have a place, an empty room of some kind, that's warm enough for them to not die of hypothermia. i actually think it would be lovely to be able to walk around starkers without getting arrested for it, but i'm really a bit paranoid of the whole thing, and tv, well like i said. of course i'd want, well a refrigerator and something to cook on. oh and i hope where the put them had some kind of plumbing. walls and a roof would be nice too. sorry but i have experienced the basics. i'm not big on exposing myself, and most people, most humans, look better wearing something, but i do like being nekkid by myself.
do they go to their jobs in their home, or go publicly to them? i still don't get what's going on there. and what's this go to the warehouse? is it set up in a spare room? and if it just means walking around in an empty room in your own house, is that supposed to be a big deal? hell i can meditate for a couple of days as long as i can sleep and eat.
american tv is getting lower and lower standards each season ill admit to watching naked and afraid though...
If I was ever invited onto the show, I would arrange to take a job with a furniture company as a bed tester and work on the night shift. 8 hours proper sleep a day.!!!! LMAO.
sounds like a cheap rip-off on Naked and Afraid. make those attention whores go survive in the wild and hunt for their food, than maybe I will take notice, otherwise mindless drivel for the mindless drivellers
Well, it sure beats some of the mindlless drivel some people write and respond to here at this forum....and if I have to recite quantum theories all day...sorry to dissapoint....i like escapism once in awhile with so much sadness going on...so if you have nothing nice to say...visit another thread where you can be nice already. Nasty...nasty, nasty! if you don't want to think about what you might want or answer the game...then please go away from this thread. thanks.
there is no reason or rule to compel me to not reply to this thread. I appreciate escapism as well, but not voyeuristic shlock bullshit, which is what this show is... oooohhh see the naked people,,,awwwe, tug on my heartstrings....oooo make me feel "better than" and all cozy and warm....LOL you post your opinion of the show, I post mine...deal with it, if you can't than maybe you are the one that should move along to something else. you always whine and cry if others don't agree with you or call into question what you post, that is life, both here and in the "real world" funny how people think they "own" a thread on a public forum....LOL
that was not the point. I don't like to see naked people, either. i said they blurred that out...My main interest was thinking about what I would want back first and I learned that i would want warmth and comfort back first....then something to do with nothing else around....watch TV for all kinds of things....escapism.... It is not really fair....as one knows after 21 days they get EVERYTHING back, if they want EVERYTHING back......and these people realized to donate many things to charity...it was a learning experience for them........and what if the question was you have to pick only 21 things and that is it forever...That would be a different ball game...I would have to keep my photographs as one thing then...but not under just 21 days circumstances...so it made me think about a lot of things and what was important to me...That was my point here.
anything that doesn't hurt anyone or get anyone in trouble is ok. how it manages to avoid doing either, if it does, i'll let someone else worry about i guess. i guess for some people the idea of not having everything is a big deal, and for some people who don't, (which may be most of the people watching tv) doing so might be one. way i was raised, a complete life would have experience of both, but that would require a culture that people didn't get stuck in either, one where it would be easier by choice to move back and forth between them, something the dominant western culture pretends to be, but isn't even close.
Ok, I will just finish out my list now for the hell or fun of it. Now, of course, in this situation, things could be different...having lots of time to think about what you want or need the next day...but just speculation..... 12.pen 13. notebook 14. sweat pants 15 sweatshirt 16 sneakers...I need to get back out there with the dogs probably earlier than now...lol 17. canvas 18. paint set 19. paint brush 20. vinegar for my hair wash rinse finally 21...ok, ok, ok...my computer.....the break was nice, but now, I am back on....lol
What's the matter? Can't you use leaves? No, seriously, you are given toilet paper, water and food in plastic tubes, so you don't have to worry about TP. It said so in the short video I posted. Yep, inane show...i agree.
