See the ‘Naked and Afraid XL: Frozen' Cast With Their Clothes on

Discovery’s new series Naked and Afraid XL: Frozen brought in an all-star cast of past survivalists who will have more challenging opportunities to prove that they can adapt to any situation. This season, the group fends for themselves in Montana’s freezing, snow-covered Rocky Mountains, which forces them to use their team-building skills and individual survivor instincts.

Although Discovery promises that the new series is unlike the other iterations, the show has a mix of new and familiar faces. Each cast member prepared for their reality TV venture off the screen. Here’s what we learned about the Naked and Afraid XL: Frozen cast!

Fans of the show will recall seeing Trish on Naked and Afraid XL in 2015. Trish is from Middletown, New Jersey and spends her downtime with friends and her two cats. Trish also appeared in Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment in 2009, so she isn’t a stranger to the survivalist game.

Jermaine is another Naked and Afraid fan favorite and appeared in one episode of Naked and Afraid: Loaded for Bear. While his first time on the show was cut short, Jermaine plans on making his second chance last a bit longer. The survivalist is even tracking his progress in his Instagram bio.

Fans will remember Rod from his time on Naked and Afraid Season 11 in 2020. The Wichita, Kansas native is back for another challenge under subzero temperatures. When Rod isn’t bearing all of his body parts, the self-proclaimed family man spends quality time with his wife and kids.

Jake has been a part of Naked and Afraid since 2016 and is also an LGBTQ advocate. In addition to his reality TV fame, the Baltimore, Maryland, native describes himself as a “horse and unicorn trainer.”

Jeremy also joined Naked and Afraid in 2017 and returned for several more seasons before Naked and Afraid XL: Frozen. Many fans recall Jeremy’s friendship with his late co-star Melanie Rauscher on the show. Their alliance lasted for multiple episodes, and they became real-life friends for years before she was found dead in a home in Arizona. Upon her July 2022 death, Jeremy released a heartfelt tribute on Facebook to Melanie and said, “even though we wasn’t blood, we was family [sic].”
