<p id=”par-2_47″>Season 3 of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/naked-and-afraid-last-one-standing-bulent-gurcan-shares-update-shocking-elimination.html/”><em>Last One Standing</em></a><em> </em>will once again bring together a group of elite alums of Discovery’s survival series <em>Naked and Afraid. </em>But unlike the first two seasons, which were filmed in South Africa, the third season takes place in the brutal and treacherous Australian Outback. </p>
<p id=”par-3_60″>The 14 competitors — all of whom have appeared at least twice on <em>Naked and Afraid </em>– will have to prove their mettle in an intense battle of skill, innovation, grit. The person who comes out on top after a series of multi-phase challenges will earn the coveted title of “Last One Standing” as well as a $100,000 cash prize. </p>
<p id=”par-4_27″>“This season, survivalists will face heartbreaking medical tap outs, legacy-defining moments, and the most shocking elimination ever seen in the franchise,” Discovery teases of the upcoming season. </p>
<p id=”par-5_29″>“We have some of the most deadliest species in the word,” cast member and returning <em>Last One Standing </em>competitor Ky Furneaux, who is from Australia, says in the trailer.</p>
<p id=”par-6_18″>“This is nothing like last time,” says Trish Bulinsky, who also competed in <em>Last One Standing </em>Season 2. </p>

<p id=”par-7_53″>Who is fighting to the title of “Last One Standing” in season 3?
