HBO Max has discreetly put a well-known reality show on their streaming service, surprising some fans.
The UK-based dating show Naked Attraction being added to HBO Max has caused a commotion among fans online.
Naked Attraction is a competition that allows contestants to eliminate potential candidates from a chance at dating them if their naked bodies aren't up to par.
At some point, each competitor would find themselves being judged when fully nude.
All six seasons of the series were uploaded to HBO Max as of last week, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
"The episodes on Max are uncensored, but have added a warning at the beginning of each," the publication explained.

NOT ALWAYS A GOOD
While Naked Attraction has many fans, those who were on the show aren't always a fan of it.
A former contestant on Naked Attraction slammed the show in July as she opened up on her regrets about taking part.
Content creator Fi was the first contestant to appear during an episode of the Channel 4 show that aired in October.
The Twitch streamer appeared in the studio with host Anna Richardson, 52, as she was looking for love.
However, the internet personality has now taken to social media in a new video on TikTok, where she spoke about her bad experience on Naked Attraction.
She accused producers of forcing her to wear cosplay on set even though she didn't want to.
The gamer also felt the show portrayed her in a certain way as they cut out various positive comments in the edit, and she says producers were not 'considerate' to her sexuality.
ULTERIOR MOTIVES
Fi explained: "I was on Naked Attraction, and the only attraction has been bad attraction.
"So why did I do the show? To be honest, for the experience more than anything, and it has brought a lot of pain.
"Do I regret it? Yes. The main reason why I regret it was because of how the show portrayed me.
"So my main thing was [i was looking for] someone out of the cosplay ... they wanted me to wear a wig on the actual show and my elf ears."
She continued: "I was really upset about this so they said 'fine, just the elf ears.' To be honest, I felt like nothing more than a show pony.
"As well as the fact that they kept making me, so like the reasons I gave for getting rid of a certain colour palette, I was made to change my answers.
"Because I am pansexual, so physical attraction isn't really a thing for me and I don't think they were really considering of that were giving my answers.
"Another thing when I went on the show, I wanted to make a big deal of stretch marks.
"There was one girl on there, [she] had absolutely beautiful body, had beautiful stretch marks and everything, because stretch marks are really natural and they should be embraced."
"They cut everything I said about that kind of stuff out of the show.
"I have watched the whole episode and I am disgusted by it, I'm disgusted by the whole experience, I literally was just a show pony," Fi said.
The former contestant also claims that she has received trolling on various platforms as a result of her appearance on the show.
She exclaimed: "Besides that, I've had people come into my live-streams, DMs and everything, just to tell me how disgusting my body and my stretch marks are.
"That they should have have trigger warnings because I have scars. And I have been made to feel more disgusting in my life.
