Ten men enter the Vancouver Island wilderness carrying only what they can fit in a small backpack. They are alone in harsh, unforgiving terrain with a single mission–stay alive as long as they can. These men must hunt, build shelters and fend off predators. They will endure extreme isolation and psychological distress as they plunge into the unknown and document the experience themselves. No camera crew. No producers. It is the ultimate test of man’s will.

so far episodes 1 and 2 has aired. a bit slow paced but pretty interesting concept for a survival TV show.

currently down to 8 men after 2 episodes.

Awesome two episodes. Survivorman X10. But this is no tutorial. This felt more real and urgent.

oznola · « **Reply #2 on:** Jul 10, 2015 at 02:08 AM »

can't believe how fast the players are tapping out here. Iba din siguro talaga pag may mga wild animals na pwedeng kumain sa iyo just roaming around.

this might be done by episode 5 or 6 with the rate its going.

Ep 6 out. Tibay nila he he. Pati itong thread alone din ako. But this is way better than Zoo he he he.

Matitibay ang mga remaining guys so time will tell how long this series will last. Galing nila.

This airs Thursdays in the US, so the show is available over the weekend.

oznola · « **Reply #8 on:** Jul 28, 2015 at 04:30 AM »

mahirap talaga pag gutom, uhaw at takot at mag sabay sabay. titiklop talaga kahit na sino. 4 guys remain and it wont be long until one is left.

qguy · « **Reply #9 on:** Jul 28, 2015 at 06:23 AM »

how many days na yung last 4 ?

Gino · « **Reply #10 on:** Jul 28, 2015 at 07:27 AM »

Paano kung kainin isang contestant ng mountain lion? Ipapakita kaya on air yung last minutes nya? hehe

Gino · « **Reply #12 on:** Jul 28, 2015 at 09:34 AM »

It will be put on the other show: Eaten.

I watched the Marathon nung Sunday. grabe yung experience nila. Cougars, wolves, Bears nasa labas ng tent mo. kahit sino naman siguro matatakot at grabe ang ulan.

Gino · « **Reply #14 on:** Aug 07, 2015 at 08:10 PM »

Ep 8 out. Astig talaga sila.

oznola · « **Reply #15 on:** Aug 07, 2015 at 08:13 PM »

just got my copy of ep.8. will watch it later.

saw yung special na "After the Rescue" where the first 6 told their story. grabe mga pinagdaanan talaga nila.

Does the participant know how many are left standing ?

no. they are only told once the rescue team picks em up when they tap out.

prototypeone · « **Reply #18 on:** Aug 09, 2015 at 10:50 PM »

Done with Episode 1. I'm getting hooked into it!

qguy · « **Reply #19 on:** Aug 10, 2015 at 09:53 AM »

What happens when it comes to a point where the contestants starts getting comfortable and no ones wants to tap out ?

pa3ck608 · « **Reply #20 on:** Aug 10, 2015 at 10:33 AM »

I started watching this new series out of curiosity if it can compare to the ordeal being experienced by the contestants in discovery channel's naked and afraid. I still prefer the latter's concept.

jjjeronimo · « **Reply #21 on:** Aug 12, 2015 at 08:05 PM »

Done with Episode 7, I am rooting for Alan. How about you guys?

Gino · « **Reply #22 on:** Aug 15, 2015 at 07:58 PM »

Yes, I think Alan has what it takes. Just watched ep 9.

oznola · « **Reply #23 on:** Aug 16, 2015 at 01:10 AM »

cant believe Lucas tapped out. i thought he had the best chances having a good shelter and even a boat.

I always thought Sam would be the next as he had no luck in food at all but now i think he has the strongest will to win.

Mitch simply had to choose very important family matter thats why he tapped out but he also didnt have much luck with the necessities.

Alan has a really good chance to win this and will probably get his own show after if he does.

Wow spoilers.

qguy · « **Reply #25 on:** Aug 19, 2015 at 08:43 AM »

pinakamasaklap dyan yung number 2 na mag tapout...

Gino · « **Reply #26 on:** Aug 19, 2015 at 09:31 AM »

Oo nga. Puro what ifs iyan. Sa tingin ko yung mga psychological effects dala na lang ng gutom yun. But damn, staying this long is amazing.

Just finished ep 9 and this was a big surprise for me too. Up to episode 8, I thought he would be among the top 2.

Oh, and I just found out this show was coming back for a second season. Cool!

Gino · « **Reply #29 on:** Aug 20, 2015 at 05:19 PM »

I want to see Ray Mears, Bear Grylls, and Les Stroud on it.
