1/6/2024 0 Comments Naked inkling![]() Here you are so pressed with the amount of time you have to know each other. Yul: I had some inkling it would be like The Mole. You have to really try to get to know each other on a show like this. Trying to decipher who the liar was is more difficult than I thought it was going to be. I knew I was going to go out and be friends with the people out there and pick out the one person who is not my friend. That was going to be another struggle for me. For me, I’m naturally trusting of everyone as it is. I’ve heard of the show The Mole but never seen it. What kind of mindset did you go into with this unique environment? Did you watch a lot of The Mole to prepare? 'Naked and Afraid' alum will also appear in jungle-set reality series hosted by Bobby Bones. Even if you feel you’re tight with someone, you can’t really trust them because they might be the snake. Here, it doesn’t matter if people lie to you or not. It was a little different because on Survivor you’re trying to build these alliances. The social dynamics, having come from Survivor, felt more familiar. They thought I was maybe trying to mislead them. People think because I went on Survivor that I’m tough. You have to be more thoughtful and conscious of your words and actions. On a show like this, you can’t necessarily have that attitude. I’m not out there to make friends or please people. On Naked and Afraid, I’m always one to ruffle feathers. The whole gameplay and psychological element of this were going to be my weakness. Being out in the woods and in the jungle is my element. Jeff: For me, the survival aspect of this show was going to be the easiest part. How would you say your respective reality competition backgrounds prepared you for what you went through? Jeff is a great guy, and I really like the friendship we’ve built. It was interesting between Jeff and me, within the context of the game, because there were a lot of accusations flying around. Any time you go through anything really hard, you either come out of it hating each other’s guts or bond. Yul: We are all incredibly lucky and blessed to get these opportunities. The more clothing I get, the higher levels of success.ĭo you feel you’ve bonded over this experience? I feel like I’m working my way up in the world. This is actually my second show fully clothed. It’s pretty strange that all I have to do to blend in is get dressed in the morning. I don’t think I recognized him with his clothes on. The funny thing is when I first saw him, I didn’t recognize him. The actual challenges he has gone through in the wild are pretty amazing. I always thought he was kind of crazy to be doing this stuff. He was always someone I’ve had a huge amount of respect for. I haven’t seen all the episodes, but I’ve seen multiple seasons. Yul Kwon: I knew Jeff because I watched Naked and Afraid. I don’t know if that was an advantage or disadvantage for me. I just showed up, and the whole world knows who these guys are. I didn’t know who any of these dudes were. So I don’t watch as much TV as I probably should. Jeff Zausch: I really didn’t know anything. How much did you know about each other before you met for filming? Here the two reflect on their experience ahead of the USA Network airing on August 15. Zausch and Kwon are joined in their episode by Survivor alums Earl Cole and Malcolm Freberg. If the three can spot “The Snake” at the end, they’ll walk away with $100,000. The foursome must do this knowing a saboteur is among them to prevent the group from succeeding. They not only have to overcome challenges and endure the elements in the Central American jungle. The new series hosted by Bobby Bones sees four brave souls from different walks of life putting themselves to the test in each episode. ĭespite their impressive resumes, they’ll be the first to tell you Snake in the Grass is a whole different animal. Kwon is a Survivor champ, winning Cook Islands and participating in Winners at War. Zausch is a Naked and Afraid and Naked and Afraid XL superstar who has clocked in more than 120 days, the most in show history over six rotations. Jeff Zausch and Yul Kwon know what it takes to succeed in reality show competitions in the great outdoors.
