**Dan Link On N*ked And Afraid: Last One Standing**

The stakes are being raised by the most recent N*ked and Afraid offshoot. Twelve of the toughest contestants from previous seasons of the Discovery Channel reality series were dropped in South Africa’s unforgiving Oribi Gorge for N*ked and Afraid: Last One Standing. To fight for a chance to win the $100,000 main prize, the candidates will engage in a multiphase challenge that will put their survival skills to the test.

Phase one of the challenge sees pairs of survivalists competing to survive for 21 days in the woods. Food, drink, a fire, and shelter must all be found by each pair on their own. But in a Naked and Afraid first, they’ll also need to work for the survival tools they’ll need, which are hidden in the surroundings. They’ll move to a different area every week to push their abilities to the utmost. A competitor’s partner is also eliminated if they decide to tap out at any time throughout the match.

The remaining survivors will participate in a group challenge in the second round of the game where they will face off against and with their colleagues. The show’s third and most intense segment is its conclusion. The three-day journey to extraction will be for everyone for themselves for the survivalists. The winner of the contest will receive the six-figure award and Naked and Afraid’s first perfect 10 Primitive Survival rating in addition to winning.

Among the 12 competing on the show is Dan, a marine biologist who is one of two survivalists who went from completing a 14-day fan challenge to finishing the 60-day legends challenge.

About the previous experience on the show, Dan had said, “The skin on my hands and feet was splitting open and my lips were so chapped and covered in scabs at one point that I thought I might be permanently disfigured.” But, he has made it to the final day. He said, “The feeling of accomplishment when you reach that final day is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.”
