This is the complete opposite of what most survival t.v shows are like. The backgrounds of the competitors was a little shocking. But i liked it, caught my attention. You gave just enough information for me to want more. But I’m curious as to why you would put those people together, would they get along? Could be a little more specific on the games they would have to play, not sure how i feel about them eating a furry little bunny.
