The one dude that was in the salt desert in Brazil(IIRC) had the best plan. Came in 20lbs overweight, spent a short amount of time on a shelter, laid around conserving energy for 20 days. His chick freaked out in like 3 days and bounced. Dumb bitch is trying to survive in the wilderness and she brings a magnifying glass.
One dude from Roxsboro, NC was pretty awesome. Brings duct tape and decides to give up smoking literally the second he gets off the boat in the jungle. 4 days later he's toast.
-Curious how much it is staged from the endurance stand point. Obviously the conversations are but the contestants are physically losing 20+ lbs.
