Shrek February 19 Share February 19 Is anyone else watching this? I'm finding it quite amusing & the one guy that has already been extracted was a big wuss, survivalist my ass, he couldn't survive in a shopping mall without his daddy in tow & making excuses for him every footstep, no wonder the parents are divorced. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/
QQQQ February 19 Share February 19 That was so embarrassing but I liked how the parents handled it. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/#findComment-8585367
tv echo February 20 Share February 20 (edited) I'm watching, but I can't decide if I like it or not. I did feel bad for a few of the survivalists who are struggling, like Ashley who couldn't make fire. She's the one who's trying to prove herself to her fiance and future father-in-law, but her fiance is subjecting her to tough love by not even getting firemaking tools for her. The big wall screens in the control room and trying to get stuff to survive give me Hunger Games vibes. But fortunately, they're not trying to kill each other.

She would be crazy to marry him after seeing how he behaved towards her. She said she wanted to prove herself to her future father-in-law but he has tried to be much kinder to her than her "future" husband who keeps not wanting to help her. Nobody else is going to want him after this airs, Fiona was steaming watching it when he wouldn't even give her anything useful when he had the chance. The family dynamics are quite interesting for a few of them. The father of the first guy out just made excuse after excuse for him & if I had ever spoken to either of my parents the way he did I probably wouldn't be around to tell the tale. Talk about enabling bad behavior. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/#findComment-8586486

Madding crowd February 22 Share February 22 It was making me nervous seeing people drink lake water then getting sick. I also hated the guy who wouldn’t get his fiancé fire making material. I hope she dumps him when this is done. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/#findComment-8587740
Dirge February 25 Share February 25 (edited) Yay! A forum! I have opinions about this show. The first kid to go was just useless. I couldn't believe how he was talking to his parents. I can't feel bad for them, though, because they're also kind of awful. The way his mother didn't even hug him back when he was extracted! I feel like we need to do a Go Fund Me for Ashley to dump that loser Austin. She doesn't need to prove anything to him - she raised her daughter alone and went back to school; she is already more accomplished than he will ever be. Thank you @Shrek for creating this.

Dirge February 25 Share February 25 I'm starting to hate the soccer daughter father as much as Austin. Last time he was whining about why his wife kept following the "schematic" that HE drew for her. Today he said that her map was fine because other people with better maps found the deer. Ugh. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/#findComment-8590417

He also keeps gaslighting his daughter in the worse possible way, so much so that Mrs Shrek was getting quite irate while watching it & admitted that it had triggered her somewhat. As for Austin, I don't think he hits the button to get her out & he seems to revel in causing her as much pain & suffering as possible. Even his father looked at him at one stage as if to say, "OMG did I raise THAT?". He actually looked both shocked & surprised at the same time, yes you did raise that sir. No thanks needed @Dirge, I was also feeling I was the only one watching. Edited February 25 by Shrek 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/#findComment-8590566

Oh my goodness, yes. He kept saying "You can't keep carrying that around." It seems like after he stopped being her coach, he didn't have much interest in her. But SHE'S the one who's 20 and has to grow up and it's up to her to initiate conversations. I assume they were cast because of their dysfunctional relationship, but it's painful to watch. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/#findComment-8590779
seacliffsal February 28 Share February 28 Way too much time spent on the father/daughter this episode for me. I fast forwarded quite a bit. I'm here for the contestants to figure out how to survive, but it doesn't seem to be that so much as they have the possibility of getting supplies throughout the experience from their support people. I don't know why it was expected that all the support teams of the men should give up the hot chocolate drop when there were two women with the green 'health' status. Seems hypocritical to me that healthier women were more entitled to the supply boxes than not as healthy men. It seems like most of the participants just wait for the next supply drop. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/#findComment-8593703
Madding crowd Tuesday at 03:08 AM Share Tuesday at 03:08 AM This show is all over the place. Tonight’s bread test was just dumb-how are people supposed to judge how much bread to take when they don’t know how many are left. Then giving out supplies based on how much you like the families at the headquarters is also dumb. I would be terrible at this challenge; I’m a life long vegetarian and if any rats were crawling on me I would be screaming bloody murder. 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/#findComment-8597373
Kleav Tuesday at 03:51 AM Share Tuesday at 03:51 AM I thought the bread test was interesting. Variables: your hunger, your capacity to consider others, and how you want to appear to your family, the other families, and the TV audience. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/#findComment-8597407
seacliffsal Wednesday at 01:12 AM Share Wednesday at 01:12 AM So, Ryan H. and Jake who didn't take any bread for themselves and left it for the others were not given any supplies by the other families when the opportunity was given. And, the woman who took a second portion of bread was rewarded by given three supplies. Guess the families are not as kind and cooperative as they portray themselves. It seems like the contestants just stay in their little campsites and don't do anything outside of challenges, etc. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151969-all-episodes/#findComment-8598034
