The first episode looks really promising.. until several situations that seems totally staged/fake like when the cowboy fired his gun to a fish (obviously a dead fish) in the boat etc. These things made me question whether or not the show misleads its viewers like some of the other survival shows have been known to do.This doubt about the reality presented in the show disappointed me because I had high expectation on this show. And while many things on television are misleading, if not straight lies, it's nice sometimes to think that someone is different than all the rest. From what I found, I no longer trust the show.

Wow...i watched half an episode of this garbage and i cant get those precious minutes of my life back to do more constructive things with my time like start a cult, put lit cigarettes out on the back of my neck or the very least inject black tar heroin directly into my testicles i don't think its scripted its more like the thought process of each person on the show thinks to themselves "what would make for dramatic TV? I know I'm gonna slip into water for a fee feet and act like I've been in subzero temperature water for 45 minutes" and yet every person has the same thought process its like an LSD ridden hive mind has taken over the airwaves of America

I live here near Augustine which is only one of four active volcanoes around me ... Spur, Redoubt and Iliamna. this is the way things are here. Go five miles out of town and this is what you find. I don't believe this is scripted. I have been that cold and stuck. Its the real deal but I guess if you live Outside in settled territory you won't know that. I don't so I do.Come here and go into the wilderness. Try and do what they do. You will find that its just what it is.Go, Endurance, Military and Mountaineers.As for the Lower 48 team, that old man can go back home.

I don't think people are giving this show a fair chance or fair reviews. They claim it's fake but have no real proof. Where's the proof? Because of edited sections?? How does that make it fake?? ALL shows are like that. It's something that has to be done. This is definitely one of the best shows on TV anymore. I refer you to The Kardasians (sp?), Honey Boo boo, Dance Moms (more the bad attitudes on that one. I actually love watching the girls dance but their moms..*shudder* I couldn't take them anymore) if you like those shows fine but USA is better in my opinion. These guys are professionals in what they do, Military include despite not really have taken on this type of ground before. I don't see anyone like that agreeing to do a fake show. Especially when they absolute loooove what they do for a living. I'm surprised people haven't claims the two injuries on the shows are fake too. And fellow Ladies, good looking and funny guys, that alone is a good reason to watch. WATCH it for yourself and don't get pulled in by the 'fake' claims and refuse to watch. Especially since 'everyone' watches fake shows all the time and never have a fake complex about them.
