It seems these reality shows focus far too much on the interpersonal conflicts and not enough on substance. I understand that getting along with others in the group is paramount, but I would rather see the skills demonstrations take up more air time. Even Les Stroud's "Survive This" has far too much drama for my taste, but what do you expect from a gaggle of teens? If you put some of the kids from this forum together in a group, I'd say the outcome would be much different, and Les might be told to go away, because they are having too much fun going native. Ha!
