Love the show but there are too many messages popping up on the screen. They are an annoyance and totally unneeded. Otherwise, so entertaining.

I started watching series one and I have to admit it, I actually really enjoyed it, but not for the reasons you may think.I really like the idea of 2 people who had never med, meeting up in the jungle, naked. Then having to survive until they are collected. The idea is a great, but sadly produced so badly that I was getting more enjoyment out of watching the mess the show's producers were making of it, than the actual contestants fumbling around their campsite. Sure, the show doesn't want anyone to die, but come on.The contestants to me, were just big headed know it all's, with their only survival experience being of camping like you or I might have done. Set up the tent, get a fire going, and chill out for a few days. Then if it gets rough or boring, time to head home. The problem with this lot is they think they have gained all the experience they need from camping in their back yards in America.I watched the whole of both seasons. I know, after everything I've said too. But on the last show of season 2, everything I liked about the show was taken away from me. The producers felt it would be a good idea to bring back a woman who was in my opinion, the one person you would not want returning. In fact, nobody should be returning.The show was titled redemption, and it was all about making it right this time for a woman who last just a few days on her first attempt, because of bugs. Now she was given another chance. But why? I could only presume she was a relative of one of the show's owners.This time, after they built a hut next to a river, she spent her time building another hut on higher ground, just in case the river floods. What a load of rubbish. As soon as I saw her face in this episode, my heart sank, as I just knew this would be last ever show.Well, they caught loads of meat towards the end, as they do, and of course the rains got heavier and they had to go to high ground to the hut she built, saving their lives and completely redeeming her. All the food they had dried over the fire at the riverside hut, they left for fear of drowning, and they left all the food too, even thought the river hadn't even started rising.On their return to the riverside hut a few days later, the hut was still there but the food had gone. Well, the hut was still there because the river hadn't rose, and they would have known that because there new hut would have been just yards away.I could go on and on about what a mess the show ended up, and to make things even worse. And they have brought a new show out with all the previous contestants in it. It's like they learned nothing from mess they made. A really great idea, let down. What a shame, a real shame.

While no one is truly alone until the night time when the production crew goes home, it is as close as possible without first person view shaky cam. The show is as real as it needs to be. There is no doubt that the contestants are allowed to basically starve and suffer hypothermia and dehydration.One poor guy contracted three diseases. Manu or Lanu I forget her exact name was sickened after the fact and is still recovering. It is a great show and don't let the jaded fanboys scare you away from a genuinely entertaining show filled with beautiful scenes of pristine rain forests and inhospitable deserts and all kinds of other beautiful hazards.As Always, ignore the reviews, including mine, and watch it for yourself. Nothing in the TV or Film business is more worthless than a critic. That means me too. Give it a chance and ignore the haters and don't let just one or two shows turn you off. Some contestants are a pain in the arse and outright rude and detestable, but the key is to stick around long enough to find the two people that get along well together. That is when the show is at its best. To see two complete strangers looking out for their brand new partner that they just met and placing them above their own needs is a testament to how great humanity can be.Have fun with it.
