Fight to Survive

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.

This show is a training video about how to be a bully. It shows people with no skills, but muscles. Picking on those who are weaker, but actually have survival skills. I can't even find enough words for the required review character count that is needed. This show does not deserve that many characters being used to describe it. The challenge parts are all brawn, no mental challenges. It would be a lot more interesting for different types of challenges. Wow still need 126 more characters. Remenber self care is important for everyone, take care of you physical and mental wellbeing. Drink plenty of water.

The idea for this show is basically a mashup of shows that already exist, particularly Survivor, the Challenge, and Million Dollar Island. It's a solid idea but it is terribly executed. The competitive portion of the game ultimately comes down to a physical battle to hold onto an item. Fight classes exist in professional fighting for a reason. You have two or three physically dominant contestants throwing around the other contestants like rag dolls. There's absolutely no real competition whatsoever. You know who's going to win before the match even takes place, which makes the whole 'challenge' element of the game utterly pointless. I'm honestly surprised people weren't seriously hurt. You have a jacked male and female team battling out of shape male/female teams who are twice their age. The contestants all should have been within the same range of fitness and competitiveness. CW, watch the Challenge and take notes. You had a great opportunity to create something of your own and you completely missed the mark.

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.

I've watched five episodes of this series and have come to the conclusion that If you've seen one fight on this show, you've seen them all. Terrible execution of a good concept. Using contestants from other venues is interresting, but not plausible in this circumstance because it is a straight-up physical competition where size and strength are the overriding considerations. Pick out the strongest two or three people at the beginning of the series and you already know who will win. None of the others stand a chance because intelligence and situational endurance are not necessary. Wish it had been better.
