I feel like the things that producers felt they didn’t get quite right, they corrected, and this is probably the ultimate test of your survival skills that occurs anywhere outside of a real-life survival scenario. It’s action-packed, the tensions are high, and the skill sets required to get through these challenges are out of this world."
