As a former veteran of the armed forces and someone who was trained in survival techniques, the average American would not know how to survive. I watched the show from beginning to end and found that each of them were overcoming the biggest survivial challenge....their mind. I would rather give ratings to the Discovery Ch then to CBS and the glorified soap opera of Survivor. This was to me, spot on and it was put together by Survivorman. These contestants showed their true reliance on their inner self and each other when it came time for teamwork. Granted there were off site help there if needed, but it was there for legal reasons for the network. Nuff said :) I concur Pieriade1.

Even some of the simple things they are unable to do, believe it or not. It is easier to criticize a show than to actually be in it and experience it. People say you would have done differently but you don’t know until you are actually a part of it. The show is not like survivor which is simply competition and back stabbing for money. This was much more treacherous and it was more about the limits you could withstand and overcome. It’s sad to read that selfishness and narrow mindedness is still a very large part of who we are as a country. Most Americans are so sheltered, that most don’t know what to do or how to survive.

Those people are total idiots. The entire world sees those people and probably thinks all Americans are like that. We're not. If I was on that show, or any number of the guys and girls I run with...the show would be more of a documentary on a bunch of people living the adventure of their lives and doing well at it. There are thousands upon thousands of Americans who'd be very capable of doing the things to survive that these dolts struggle with. I find myself wishing these people would fall through ice or getting eaten by wolves and bears. It sucks. Those people are total idiots.
