I was amazed at how much trouble participants had with this challenge considering the potential payoff. Isolation became a huge factor but obviously some of them were starving to death too. I think the person who won made it with mental toughness but also due to ingesting as many calories as possible and good shelter location. The man who came in second had some shelter issues and he was clearly starving to death. Going into it, I figured the animals would have been the biggest problem but it was isolation and lack of food for the people that made it more than a week. An interesting experiment. I tend to think I could do four months easy for half a million dollars but apparently that's not true. Great show.
