Extracted

The first episode with the 18 year old was hard to watch he was awful! The premise of the show is great but I think you have to vet these people better the dad was definitely enabling his son and it put a negative light on the show having them on it. The way he spoke to his parents and threatened them to push the button to extract was absolutely crazy and it really sucks that they were allowed to push the button and get him out especially since his mom made sure he had everything he needed in his crate and he still chose to speak to them the way he did and then hug them when they bring him back.

Remember, everyone is in it for the money! So fairness does not matter. At anytime a contestant can be Extracted without any input. What does dovthe the longterm relationship with family members? A story of socialism where the weak get the freebies to help them and the strong get nothing. Its not survival its a game.. The attempts to make family and friends feel guilty for helping their contesant is pitiful. In nature, the stronest survive, not the ones getting life support!! Needs more coverage of the contestants, in the wild, and what they are going through Treating people like lab rats! Too much drama back at HQ.

The show is ridiculous. The people out in the woods have shelter, water, food, fire, tarps, hunting tools, numerous drops of other items. The families in headquarters act like this is very stressful on them because they have to sit there and watch their loved ones Not have everything they need. When they signed up for this show, they knew it was going to be "tough" but the drama in the headquarters is ridiculous. These people are out in the woods, many staff around, medics nearby, and supplies. Maybe they don't eat for a few days, but you can go a long time without food. This is a drama filled show with ridiculous people acting like they are going through excruciating pain and hunger. It's a joke. Another TV show by Fox that is absolutely a waste of time. Don't waste your time on this show.

I decided to give this show a try, and at first, I thought I might enjoy it. However, by episode five, I realized it was just plain ridiculous. One of the most capable survivalists gets pulled out by his whining, emotional wife, despite seeming to do well-though it's hard to tell since they barely show any actual survival efforts. Instead, the focus is entirely on what's happening at HQ. What happens to all the leftover supply boxes? What about the axes and saws they were given? Why give a bow and arrow to people who have never even used one? There are so many frustratingly illogical decisions. I won't be watching another episode.

The other show that came out in groups surviving in Alaska was better... These guys moreso just sit around and do nothing... Your in the wild so you need to be foraging, looking for food etc.. helps with supply drops but then it's not really survival with help.. but puts a tweak on it with the HQ etc. I would've thought they would have all gone and moved around and formed bonds with the other contestants which would help boost morale a bit more for them. Good thought for a reality show even though I hardly watch any (only ones like this are decent) but good effort to all those who participated in it.
