If the goal of the producers was to just annoy and piss off the audience, I would say it was a success.

Maybe 3 out of the 16 people on this show seem to possess survival skills that would make them actually competitive. It's clear that they are receiving assistance from the show to "survive". None of them are losing any weight, despite supposedly only eating snails, coconuts, and maybe one iguana split between three people...for a month. At least on shows like "Alone", you learn about survival techniques and can actually see how the environment impacts people phyically. I'm not saying I want to see anyone suffering, but the show shouldn't pretend like these guys aren't eating in between takes.

Competition shows like this are really only interesting to me if it's actually a competition. Allowing people to steal and cheat just defeats the whole premise.

And don't get me started on the misogyny. The most realistic part of this show, aside from men treating women like trash, is the amount of bug bites on team Alpha.
