Maci Bookout Admits 'Naked And Afraid' Was 'The Most Amazing & Painful Experience!'

"#NakedandAfraid was the most amazing (and painful) experience...even though I didn't complete the challenge. I am proud of myself for trying something completely terrifying and out of my comfort zone. I'm excited to see my partner Justin kick a**," the mother-of-three wrote on Twitter.

Adding, "I want to say that anyone that has attempted N&A is a bada** is my book, being a fan of the show since the beginning.. I know what they've gone through and all the respect in the world for the survivalists before me. Ya'll f******g ROCK!"

She concluded, "Tthe entire process of N&A (training/attempting) did change my life. My perspective & outlook is so much healthier than I could have imagined. Thanks to all who watched tonight, I hope you aren't too disappointed, but if you are disappointed I hope [your] grateful for [you] couch & TV!"

As fans watched last night, Maci tapped out of the challenge due to problems with her feet.

In a sneak peek clip which was released prior to the episode, Maci admits, “Watching Naked and Afraid from your couch, it’s easy to point out all the things you think people are doing wrong. You’re here and actually feel the thirst and pain in your body, it’s a completely different story.”
