Naked and Agape viewers were left baffled after spotting armed security in the background of Sunday's episode.

The popular Discovery Channel show sees strangers left without whatsoever supplies or dress as they try to survive in the wilderness for 21 days.

The current season has been shot in Africa, and some fans were unimpressed and branded the show 'fake' after an editing mishap showed a man with a rifle ahead of contestants Darvil and Lynsey.

One viewer questioned: '@NakedAndAfraid Anyone else encounter the clothed guy with the rifle standing on the reverse banking company of the river while Darvil was trying to cross? #NakedAndAfraid (sic)'

Another fan ranted: '@NakedAndAfraid Omfg! I only started to hate #NakedAndAfraid What'south up with this? You lot take to tell Security to stay out the shot.

'And all these people act scared to death on the show. Why when they have somebody with a rifle? #scripted #false #StupidShow (sic)'

Sorry, this video isn't available whatever more.

And a dissimilar viewer added: 'This woman'due south actually acting like product doesn't accept guards with big ass guns waiting to shoot any animal that endangers the players #Nakedandafraid (sic)'

Even so, other fans defended the programme and wondered how people didn't wait there to be some kind of protection.

Ane Twitter user said: 'Information technology is television after all. Yous didnt call up it was real?'
And some other person argued: 'I for one have e'er assumed there was a sharp shooter nearby.

'That certainly doesn't guarantee safety, merely should help the players get some sleep and/or peace of mind.

'I can't believe anyone would believe folks are put out there with NO protection.'

Although some people were unimpressed, Darvil and Linsey nevertheless put their strength and courage to the exam every bit they had to cope with wild baboons and hyenas nearby, while Darvil fell into a crocodile-infested river.

During the testify, the contestants have to find shelter, food and water to survive.

At that place are certainly real risks, with regular army veteran EJ Snyder suffering multiple lacerations to his scrotum after falling from a co-operative into a swamp during Naked and Agape Twoscore last month.

Ouch!
