In N&A, we see the contestants struggle through starvation. They lose weight. They get dehydrated. They get dizzy when they stand up too fast. They snipe at each other as they struggle.
On this show, there were a couple outdoorsy folks. A couple. They had benefits: an easy read map of the area and directions on how to build a raft. They could bring personal items. One guy brought his guitar and bow and arrows.
What I don't understand is the part where none lost weight or complained about physical hardships other than the soles of one girls' foot and a guy who made a passing reference to bugs at night. It's as though they are happy kids who could be in any setting. They were all chill and polite and seemingly immune to any survivor hardships.
Is this *just* because the producers chose a newbie friendly bountiful spot with a well and lots of fruit? And *just* because they didn't have bad weather? And *just* because they didn't have to navigate building a shelter with somebody (because they were provided) or just because the group was large enough that they didn't have to be either firekeeper or food-getter every day?
Because I cannot understand how the survival aspect wasn't even touched on here.
