They had just aired the British Army CPT who had walked the Amazon - he was naked on an island with only a med kit and an emergency sat phone for 60 days (iirc). He made it. Really don't want to see people's naked butts. The naked part is to get people to tune in, they may or may not learn anything.
So my one item would be a knife. No brainer.

I believe if I was butt naked and allowed only one personal item, I would have to take one of my big Busse knives or a good Ghurka Khukri. I watched the show of that guy on the island with nothing, and a good blade was something he could've used to maximum effect. His show proved it is better to be lucky than good. When he lost his front tooth, he lost his couth.

Tell me, please - is this why it is known as the "boob tub?" Decent stuff is pretty hard to find these days.

Oh, my, this show sounds just stupid. I thought perhaps a part of the attraction is the eye candy factor, but the still that accompanies the article suggests those craving visual sweets will have to go elsewhere.
Alright, maybe I should take the scenario more serious. So a breeding pair of human beings finds themselves in the wild with no clothing and only one item. I'm guessing that they got kidnapped by aliens who were perplexed by human reproduction, or who were trying to create some sort of alien/human hybrid because their home world got destroyed in an intergalactic war and their only hope is for their DNA to survive in a biped found on a planet whose environment is very hostile to their benzene-based physiology. Anyway, from certain human internet websites the aliens figured out that the first thing you have to do is take off your clothes. So that's why the two people are naked. Sounds perfectly reasonable. Or they are trying to replicate man's early beginnings aka "Quest for Fire" to see how modern man could cope.

As I read the article one name stuck out in my mind - Kellie Nightlinger. That rang a couple of bells so I googled her I googled her, too, and, among other things, I noticed this: 'Naked' star describes fishing with 'private parts,' ruins appetites I guess sometimes I just can't look away from a train wreck.
