When it comes to survival in the wild, few reality shows do it quite like Naked and Afraid, now in its sixth season. With each episode, the show pairs two strangers on an adventure in the wild with the challenge of surviving 21 days without food, water, or clothing. In this episode, called Frozen In Fear, viewers get to see another intense journey as two survivalists - EJ Snyder and Kellie Nightlinger - brave the frigid temperatures of Alaska's Kodiak Island.

The episode starts with EJ and Kellie, who are both experienced survivalists, meeting up on the coast of Kodiak Island. Despite their shared expertise, the two quickly realize that their different survival philosophies could cause friction, as EJ is more of a lone wolf, while Kellie likes to work collaboratively. Nevertheless, they both agree on their strategy of building a fire and a shelter, and getting as much protection from the island's brutal cold weather as possible.

The island's climate, with its fierce winds and heavy snow, is a constant challenge. The first day, Kellie struggles with hypothermia, so EJ leads her on a grueling uphill trek to keep her warm. The two are forced to shelter inside their tent, only venturing out once a day to gather firewood and look for food sources. During this time, they must also contend with Kodiak's wild animals, such as bears, wolves, and foxes - which are always looking for their next meal.

Despite the dangers, EJ and Kellie remain optimistic, focusing on the goal of surviving another day. And when Kellie opens up about her past trauma, viewers see their relationship improve, with the two beginning to work more efficiently together. They manage to catch some fish and even create a net trap for rabbits. But as temperatures drop even lower, the true test of their survival skills comes when they have to cross a frozen river to get to their shelter.

The ice crossing is a suspenseful moment in the episode, with viewers holding their breath as the two attempt to navigate the slippery terrain. The tension is palpable as EJ falls through the ice, with Kellie nervously watching from the sidelines. But in the end, they both make it safely across, and their bond is strengthened by the experience.

As the days go on, EJ and Kellie's shelter is put to the test, with heavy snowfall threatening to collapse it at any moment. Gathering firewood becomes a matter of life and death, since without a fire they would likely freeze to death. The two struggle to find enough fuel, but their spirits remain high as they bond over their shared experience.

One of the most memorable moments of the episode comes when EJ decides to craft a drum from a piece of wood and some bear hides. The drum is not only a source of entertainment for the two, but it also serves as a communication device, helping them to feel less isolated in the vast, frozen wilderness.

As the three weeks come to an end, the viewer sees EJ and Kellie's growth as individuals and as a team. The two have overcome the harsh conditions of Kodiak Island, come together as friends, and proven their survival skills. Despite their different philosophies, they have learned that working together creates a better chance of survival. Naked and Afraid season 6 episode 3, Frozen In Fear, is an intense exploration of the grit and resilience required for survival in some of the most inhospitable environments in the world.
