I am not sure whether I will watch or not. I was unhappy last season when it seemed some of the "competitions" were cruel, IMO.
Maybe the producers will have changed it a bit so it doesn't seem so punitive to the people in the field because of their parents/loved ones in the bunkers.

I have never even heard of this one. What is the premise?

The players camp outdoors in rough conditions and participate in various tasks, while family members remain in an outpost and watch, compete and negotiate to give their player some advantages
If the family members feel that it’s appropriate, they can extract the player at any point. Last season some players were quite desperate and happy to be extracted while at least one or two were quite disappointed that their family extracted them before they were ready. One player was doing exceptionally well and enjoying the experience and likely could have won and their family extracted them basically because they missed them. I felt really badly for the player and I can’t see how that worked out well for the entire family in the end.
Similar to many other viewers, I enjoyed the show up until the last episode, where the winner was decided more based on luck rather than skill and effort.

Juju, FWIW, many of us struggled with the show because of how the competitions were conducted among the family members. Those competitions dictated what advantages (food, sleeping bags, etc) that their relation received out in the wild. It did feel like some of the comps/decisions made were unbearably cruel, ie, some getting lots of food or amenities, some getting none and starving and freezing.

Thanks, I think I won't look for it. I still hate that the Survivor players no longer get rice automatically.

It's on my DVR, this was good last season, cringe-worthy at times, and often irritated me, but overall I enjoyed it

Decent start. I'm always surprised by those who choose to go out there that have little to no survival experience.
Interesting note: Sandra (Survivor) has her daughter's fiance (I think that's right) in the wilderness, with her daughter as part of the family team.

I could not stand that Dad! He kept saying I should have done this I would have won...ugh! I was so hoping when the son asked to be extracted they would offer the hubby to go out there!
That kid wanted to stay in school!! I felt bad for him. It appears his dad doesnt think he is man enough and wanted to toughen him up. The dad should appreciate he has a kid that is in college and wants to be there!

I am not sure, once again they started out pitting the families against each other. I was hoping for an easy first night where they started everyone out with a little more than a prayer.
Like maybe a canteen of water and a blanket. I mean if they want to be mean they can take it away later but give them one night.
But nooooooo, I still can't believe they let some of these people go out in the wilderness, some of them are going to die, LOL, they are so unprepared.
I guess casting likes it because I see we have "beauty queen" who doesn't have a clue, just like last season, so they casting the types rather than a bunch of people who want to see if they survive in the woods.

I do mostly enjoy it and this time they knew what they were getting themselves into.
At least the son kept up his resistance and got out of there, and now it is documented how his dad spoke about him.
