After a fractured pairing in the premiere of "Naked & Afraid" last week, this week's duo developed a strong bond during their 21 days in the wilderness. But while the couple proved capable of coming together to find success, their experience was nearly brought to an end by external forces.
46-year-old Army veteran Ej Snyder sustained a serious foot puncture toward the beginning of their adventure. As the days passed, his foot grew more and more infected to the point that the production crew felt they had no choice but to intervene.
"It’s very inflamed," a producer told Ej. "I’m worried that you’re not gonna make it to the end.”
He got medical attention for his wound locally and was given the choice to quit or continue. He opted to finish out his adventure. But just how real is everything shown on this survival show?
