Honestly one of the more interesting survival shows that doesn't dramatize or milk the hell out of conflict. I'm glad that they give each contestant even grounds to compete on, and evaluate them fairly without arbitrary rules. The invited mentors also give solid advice without being overtly strict or mean, and I appreciate that. The judging is fairly transparent, and they show the judge's judging criteria and elimination process, which is also appreciated. Overall, I loved hearing the trainee's insights, and they are a fun bunch with hilarious interactions. I'm glad that this "grueling" show offered them a good experience and fun memories despite the hardships they endured in the wild as per the show's setup. Debuting line-up, good luck! And good luck to the trainees who didn't make it this time! They're all very talented, and I hope to see them in the public eye again soon.
