To me, this movie is perfection.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I have just finished watching the series and found myself looking forward to each episode. I don't watch reality shows because there is so little reality to them. This was gritty, tough and pushing ordinary people out of their comfort zone, and giving them a new perspective in life. The one negative thing for me was only the winners got a reward. I thought the three finalist couples could have each got something, graduated third to first in the amount.

TV personality Bear Grylls is the leader, supervisor, judge and jury for this competition show. He directs these teams of 2 to travel, build fire, eat disgusting food, and build shelter. They compete in a specific challenge to get immunity from Bear's judgment.Ultimately, Bear judges these teams as to which one is most likely not to survive. This is really subjective. That part of the show is the weakest part. It has the least meaning. Seeing the contestants struggle their way through the wilderness is much more fascinating. But the overall show isn't that compelling. It mattered very little to me who actually won the darn thing.

What can I say? This show is simply awful. There isn't much survival education in this program. It is simply about childish games where if you win you get to pig out in the feast pit or if you are hungry you have to eat worms and eyeballs. There is also a massive amount of product placement in this show, which I find tiresome.For me the emphasis on "winning" in this show is totally misguided. If the show is was surviving people should be judged on the skills shown after they have been taught basic bush craft skills. For example, Bear could have taught the teams how to cross rivers safely, how to treat someone with the early signs of hypothermia or how to use a map and compass.Given the increasing number of tourists who come to New Zealand each year and get themselves into trouble this is the responsible thing to do. Many of incidents in the New Zealand wilderness are due to mistakes people make.

The location was magical. who would have not loved flying around in helicopters! Really enjoyed the first episode. The suspense over who was going to be thrown out was good. I was inspired by their challenges, especially the urine drinking. yuck, cant imagine whats next. Bear is as fun as ever and i glad to see him back. Looking forward to the next adventure. Beautiful setting and as cheesy as Bear is he is entertaining and inspiring in all that he does. The end of the challenge feast was enviable, but why didn't they share it. I liked the community sense of the show instead of just team vs. team. It's great to see community values being supported. I really like the father son and mother daughter teams! Looking forward to next week
