Some frogs are poisonous. Although I think the poisonous ones tend to be very colorful.
He was spouting some mumbojumbo about how his mom always sends him a sign with a frog and it means that every lil ting gonna be awright, and something about how his dead brother loved frogs, or he IS the frog, or something. I did feel bad for the guy as he was talking about the magical frog sign, it was clear he was two cents short of full on bawling. He's alone in Africa (with some camera people, and producers a few minutes away) and he felt like the frog was a sign that his mother and brother were with him.He didn't say that he thought they actually WERE the frog, right? I would have thought his mother the Voodoo Priestess of Frogs or whatever she is would have sent them that frog so he didn't starve. Yes, some frogs are poisonous, but I think those tend to be the small colourful jungle frogs. Not these mud frogs of Africa. He could have gotten a lot of protein from the frog legs, or the entire thing if he was that hungry. If he was willing to take a chance on drinking water that almost certainly was tainted by animal feces and knowing that it would probably make him sick, why wouldn't he chance eating the frog? Obviously if there had been an issue, medical would have come right away to treat him, and he knew that.
I guess it doesn't surprise me that he tapped out. He wasn't doing this for the love of being a survivalist. He was doing this to book his next acting/modelling gig. Perhaps he saw Ashley crying and honking and generally looking absolutely pathetic and getting carried out naked on a stretcher. He expressed a fear or concern that he would be carried out on a stretcher too. And I guess that wouldn't have helped his image. Nobody would want him for "Dating Naked" if their last image of him was of him crying and moaning and whining about pain.
Producers should have done a better job with the screening. Make sure these people have some actual qualifications and that they are doing it to test themselves and for love of it all. Not for a modelling contract.
I still can't get over it. A POT. That just happens to be supposedly in the middle of nowhere in Africa. Where hyenas and lions and hippos and elephants just wander around freely. This isn't exactly like the beach/water episodes, where supposedly the currents and tide or Katrina just happens to dump used clothing and items. It was Botswana. But yet somebody had come through before him and oops they lost their pot and didn't know it!!! And even with the pot, he fails. With the pot, he could boil water and stay hydrated. He could make a broth using the leaves of plants pointed out to him by producers. He could make soup with eggs and insects and whatever else he could be able to catch/find. He had it way easier than any of the other previous contestants, and he just gives up.
