Ep 1. That All You Got, Lousiana?

As the seventh season of Naked and Afraid XL kicks off, the contestants are dropped off deep in the swamps of Louisiana, where they must survive the harsh conditions with nothing but their wits and each other. The group is made up of experienced survivalists who have all been on the show before, but as they soon discover, Louisiana's unforgiving wilderness presents challenges that none of them have ever faced before.

The first order of business for the group is to find water, but the swamps are filled with murky, often contaminated water sources that could make them sick. As they struggle to find a safe source of hydration, tensions start to run high and alliances begin to form. Some contestants are determined to go it alone, while others seek out partners to increase their chances of survival.

As night falls, the group is forced to face another challenge: the natural predators that roam the swamps after dark. From alligators to venomous snakes to hordes of bloodthirsty mosquitoes, the contestants must prepare themselves for a long night of danger and discomfort. Some of them struggle to keep their morale up, while others take the opportunity to bond with their fellow survivors over their shared experiences.

The next day brings a new set of challenges, as the group sets out to find food. The swamps are home to a variety of edible plants and animals, but knowing how to find and prepare them is easier said than done. Several of the contestants team up to try to catch a wild hog, using only handmade weapons and their own strength and wits.

As the days go on, the group's alliances continue to shift and evolve. Some contestants prove themselves to be valuable team players, while others struggle to keep up with the demands of survival. With each passing day, the harsh realities of life in the wilderness take their toll on the group members, testing their mental and physical fortitude in ways they never imagined.

That All You Got, Louisiana? is a thrilling and challenging start to the seventh season of Naked and Afraid XL. As the group faces down the dangers of the swamps and each other, viewers are taken on a journey that is equal parts exhilarating and harrowing. Whether the contestants will be able to survive the full 40 days and nights remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: they will be forever changed by the experience.
