Discovery’s “Naked and Afraid” ups the ante this Sunday with a supersized episode that takes survival to a whole new level. In “Mayan Blood Sacrifice,” four survivalists head to the jungles of Mexico for a grueling 21-day challenge. This isn’t just any jungle; it’s a location steeped in history, a place where, centuries ago, human sacrifices were a regular occurrence. That adds a certain… ambiance, let’s say.
As if the psychological weight of history wasn’t enough, the survivalists face a barrage of physical challenges. Relentless mosquitoes, torrential downpours, and wasps with stingers the size of toothpicks await. This time, the survivalists are tasked with working together as a tribe, which, given the stress of the environment, could either be their salvation or their downfall.
“Mayan Blood Sacrifice” looks like a true test of human endurance, both physically and mentally. With no prize money on the line, the only reward is pride and the satisfaction of completing one of the most brutal challenges the show has ever cooked up. Tune in to Discovery this Sunday, April 27th at 8:00 PM ET for a 125-minute special.
