Show Website Wow. This show was awesome. It follows six athletes as they compete in different tribal warrior competitions. They live with the tribes, train with the tribes and then compete with the tribes. It is serious stuff. In this past episode, they competed with a Brazilian tribe in a warrior wrestling tournament. The tribal chief only deemed 3 of them worthy of competing after their training. They scraped their skin with piranha teeth and poured salt and chilis on it to prove toughness or some such. Here is another article on the show. It re-airs multiple times, the first link will also lead you to episode schedules and the episodes online. I've never seen anything like this. It's wild. ETA: This is Discovery Channels blurb for this first episode: The competitors venture to the Brazilian jungle on a quest to wrestle with Kalapalo warriors at the Festival of Death. Wrestlers compete for their village's honor. But first they have to prove themselves worthy to compete for a place on the village team.
