Fight to Survive

Wanted to like but was just a bullying competition. Way too many dropouts even setting aside the late ones that quit and refused the physical competitions. Nappy Missy was just disgusting throughout. Save the hood rat behavior for your everyday life. Just trash. Amal was almost as bad. J at least showed some class throughout. He, the competitive athlete, deserved to win the bullying physical competition.

Changing the rules 3/4 way through the show was terrible. Didn't blame those on Team survive bailing. Not worth 10-15k to have to deal with possible long term physical ailments. The show should have been named Bully to Survive.

Id be surprised if another season of show happens w/o a more variety of eliminations outside of purely physical one.

This is a horrible game. Set up for violence and burial conflict. People seeing this makes the world a worse place. The conflicts aren't even interesting its just lazy people resorting to violence to get what the think they need. Through episode 2 I don't see any redeeming qualities with the contestants given the parameters of the challenge. There are huge gaps in footage and reasoning for the actions taken by contestants as well as production. Stealing resources is allowed, and officially fighting for resources is also allowed. There is only negativity in this show. I do like the host, but I feel sorry for him that he got roped up in this community destroyer.

I enjoy watching different reality TV shows with my mom. It's become part of our family time and we like commenting together on different shows. If you're looking for a family show, this isn't it. There is a group but particularly 3 members of that group that act rude, highly aggressive, and take whatever they want from the other people on the island out of greed and jealousy. It makes the show hard to watch because each episode so far that we've watched (up to Season 1 Ep 5), the bully group act progressively worse. They remind me of Lord of the Flies with the disturbing screaming and everything. And the worst part is that the competitive game is almost entirely strength based and of course the 3 people acting like bullies are significantly physically stronger than the others. This has resulted in the physically weaker contestants getting injuries almost every time they enter the ring. The producers did a terrible job balancing this show and casting it.

When I read the description of the show I was excited and had big hopes. I watch Alone, Survivor, Naked and Afraid and I enjoy them, I am a fan of those shows. However, this show seems to be more about bullies/bullying in my opinion. There is not that much footage or focus about surviving. If you expecting a "survival" show this is not it or the format is highly imbalance where your knowledge about surviving is secondary. Instead, if you are strong and know how to "wrestle" you are good.

Most survivalists are about knowledge of the environment what can you eat, how can you hunt games, etc. Not all of them are Athletes or super strong physically. But this show is mostly focused on hoarding items and to get items you fight for it. No surprise, the strong people (a few) just bully everyone else for their resources.

If this game show was supposed to be more focused on the competition/fighting portion instead of the surviving part, they should have make sure all participants were wrestlers/fighters or at least have diverse/balanced competition games like in Survivor. Instead this was like watching dogs fight.

Bully to survive / Get bullied and survive should be the name of this show.

I was amazed that the CW would allow this display of nastiness, avarice, and bullying to air on their network. The premise was good, survive on an island, have competitions to fight it out eliminating players along the way, and win the prize. But it quickly went wrong. Competitions were based simply on brute strength, causing an immediate unfair advantage to physically larger and stronger contestants. The others didn't stand a chance in the fight part of the competition, even though they may have been the best survivalists out there, Almost immediately those with the brute strength teamed up, and it became a game of bullying those who were weaker. In addition to that there was an extreme display of greed in the game. That led to a lot of nastiness, foul language, betrayals, and bullying. A few players bowed out rather than compromise their own morals. Many are hurt along the way both physically, with some extractions due to physical injury, and psychologically, due to the incredible displays of bullying.

Would not recommend this program for any viewer, particularly younger viewers.
