I was just introduced to this, and I usually absolutely hate reality TV shows, but I'm totally gripped by it.
I started at Season 1 a couple of weeks ago and have nailed through the first three seasons in no time.
Totally engaging, and when you get that final scene when someone's won and their loved one arrives to let them know, it's unexpectedly super-emotional to watch. I've found myself with a massive lump in my throat each time.
Absolutely amazing show.
For those that haven't heard of it, they take 10 survival experts and stick them all somewhere remote, separate from each other, and completely on their own with only 10 select bits of survival gear (knife, tarpaulin, ferro stick (to make sparks for fire), some net, fish hooks, fishing line, and not much else) and some cameras so they can film themselves. Whoever survives out there the longest wins half a million dollars.
As well as hunger, thirst, freezing cold, really challenging weather and the madness of solitude, they also have to deal with local wildlife like bears, cougars and wolves. (The first couple of seasons are on Vancouver Island, where there's a population of 7000 black bears and the greatest density of cougars in the world).
Utterly enthralling to watch how they all deal with the challenges of wilderness life in different ways.
Any other fans on here?
