What was that one group thinking when they went to the other camp? Good episode last night with some nice scenery shots...

I am watching these out of sequence, trying to catch up... watched 3 yesterday including the first episode. I can see that some of these people weren't that smart to begin with...

The Finale was pretty cool with Les the "Survivorman" hosting...

It's Back, with a Twist

Would you volunteer to be abandoned deep in the Alaskan interior on the brink of winter with eight strangers and attempt to find civilization with nothing more than the clothes and gear on your back?

2 of the 3 that "punched" out I couldn't figure unless it was a lack of patience... spectacular scenery, but I'd rather look and not touch...

This is pretty much survival type stuff... I'd push the button in a heartbeat I think as I hate cold...

I watched the first episode and then walked away. It was painfully obvious that they had brough in the older woman just for the purpose of teaching the others the basics of hunting, trapping and camping.

I hate it when they manipulate these shows to the extent that it becomes obvious to the audience. Supposed to be a 'contest'. but I end up believing that everyone has been hired and scripted.

The series they did last year with the couple and family was WAY better.
