Estate of Survival

I have to admit, I did enjoy watching this show! The contestants all were very charismatic and the level of dynamics and drama between them really sucked me in early on in the episodes. The idea of showing up to a house with literally no furniture is actually appealing to me, but I guess for others, no so much!! Light entertainment and definitely compares well to other competition style shows! I would recommend starting this show with no preconceived notions of what it needs to be! A clever move by LG as well in terms of unique marketing. I'll be interested to see what other brands follow in their foot steps.

So many questions. 1. Who at Amazon allowed this atrocity to get through production? 2. Go back to #1. I stopped watching after a few episodes where a contestant starts doing an actual infomercial for a lg product. What on earth? Is this real? It's slow. The storyline is very very weak and all about marketing products for LG Electronics it seems. I am so Shocked this is a real show on Amazon prime. Contestants are vying for different contests to Fill their house which is empty mainly with appliances and electronics from lg. Whenever they actually win one, they then spend time talking about the products. Bizzaro land.

I love reality TV, but "Estate of Survival" was a total cringe-fest. The whole show is just a giant, in-your-face ad for LG's appliances. The plot is basically nonexistent-just a bunch of people competing in lame challenges to win home appliances, with a $100,000 prize dangling at the end to keep them motivated. It's like they threw together the most boring reality show possible just to shove their products down our throats.

LG is trying to cash in on the popularity of reality TV and streaming by pushing this nonsense on Amazon Prime Video. The first two episodes dropped on August 12 in the U. S., but honestly, they should've kept them locked away. The show features LG's InstaView fridge and Smart Top Control Dishwasher, and it's painfully obvious that these appliances are the real stars, not the contestants. The whole thing feels more like a badly disguised infomercial than a real TV show.

They're also streaming it on LG Channels, their own platform, but I can't imagine why anyone would voluntarily sit through this. LG might think they're being clever by trying to appeal to the streaming crowd who hates regular ads, but this is way worse. It's like they forgot they're supposed to entertain people, not just sell them stuff.

The show also highlights their ThinQ Care tech, which basically just nags you if you're using the appliance wrong. Wow, thrilling TV.

Other brands have figured out how to do reality TV tie-ins without making you feel like you're watching a two-hour commercial, but LG missed that memo. "Estate of Survival" is a painful watch, and it's not worth your time unless you're in the market for a new fridge and want to see it awkwardly shoved into every scene.

The best thing that could happen for this show, would be for someone to call a S. W. A. T. Raid in on multiple occasions.

Several contestants are blatantly bad people, while others are so naive they literally trust pathological liars all the time, even after the liars have burned these naive contestants several times.

The most interesting thing I found was the body language of one contestant who I'd guess either did hook up with another contestant (or 2) or seriously wanted to.

Several contestants listed their apparent occupations, which I found hard to believe they would actually be successful at their proclaimed professions.

I for one, would not like to see a therapist who had very little if any empathy.

This is an interesting show to review because it's barely a show. If someone were to ask me what it's about, not totally sure what I'd tell them since there's so little to it. People win LG products and then we see those people use the LG products then someone gets voted out That's about it.

With that said, the contestants are a good mix and I actually enjoyed watching them. Like so many other shows, they plot and plan and try to manipulate. And some are just good people.

To sum it up, there's no reason this show should exist because there's no concept aside from featuring LG products (but who cares...get over it fellow reviewers. No one is trying to hide the fact it's one big commercial. You didn't crack any case here!). But I did like it. It's simple and enjoyable and something to watch when you want to relax.
