why is there anything interesting about watching people starve
I mean, if you don't find hiking/camping/survival/hunting/trapping interesting, then it's probably not for you.
But if you do, man it's like the holy grail. The show is also really well done from a technical standpoint.
Really sucks that someone killed a protected species though. From what I recall they typically try to train people on what they can and can't kill beforehand though.
Contestant Spencer 'Corry' Jones was aware he was breaking the rule when he killed and ate the bird, according to news site Radio New Zealand, citing a clip from the show.
So someone on the crew probably told them they shouldn’t touch it but they did it anyway.
hunting and trapping is one thing, I just don't get the entertainment of watching someone starve like on Survivor
Survivor started a lot more survival focused, it wasn't always a game show with a trapped on an island pretext.
It basically slowly flanderized itself into what it is today.
The summary for season 1:
In one of the toughest competition shows ever attempted, eight teams of elite athletes embark on a harrowing journey across the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness. However, with no food or shelter, they must fend for themselves and survive off the unwelcoming land. Over the course of six different race legs, 46 days, and 300 square miles, teams will traverse through some of the harshest and most extraordinary landscapes in the world, from sprawling mountain ranges to massive prehistoric glaciers and never-ending suffocating rainforests.
It’s a challenge. People like challenges. It’s not like you’re watching someone being tortured
Saw a few on the Milford Trek. Not scared of humans from what I’ve noticed.
