Naked and Afraid XL — Season 8

XL Season 8 aired from May through July 2022 across ten episodes filmed in the Peruvian Amazon. The cast of fifteen, including Jeff Zausch, EJ Snyder, Matt Wright, Amber Hargrove, Gary Golding, Kaila Cumings, Dan Link, Rod Biggs, Tim Phillips, and Waz Addy, took on a 40-day rainforest run built around a legends-vs-newcomers structure.

Notable episodes include the opener "I'm In Big Trouble," "Amazon Pain Forest," "In Your Face, Amazon!," "The Legends Return," "Mutiny in the Jungle," "Legendary Fail," "You Left Us to Rot," "A Gathering Swarm," and the finale "Jungle Gangsters Out." The season's mid-run mutiny episode is one of the most-referenced conflict arcs across the XL catalog.
