We can agree that when in a survival situation, you will encounter unexpected things. I also know from experience, that few people have the ability to work through pain, annoyances like mosquitos or leaches, extreme cold or other extreme weather.
That wasn't the point. The point is, that the TV-show was made into a show about how big a pain mosquitos are when there are thousands of them 24/7, and you're not wearing any pants.
Mosquitos are a pain in the *** when you're wearing pants and a shirt, but by being dressed, you could have made a fine tv-show about what you need to do in the Amazon, if you're ever in serious trouble there. How to make fire when more or less everything is wet, what to eat and how to get it, getting drinkable water, building shelter and how to get out of there.
But in order to make "something different", they focused on being different, rather than the skills needed to survive and get out alive.
