Contestants

Info

Adam: The Sportsman

Adam is definitely one of the stronger and more competitive of the group. He will do anything to survive, and says that he won't go home unless he breaks both of his legs.

Becca: The Princess

Becca is really strong, but she gives up too easily. She came to be part of Survive This because she wants to prove that she is not a "princess". She quit being on the show after the "Deep Woods" challenge.

Becky: The Environmentalist

Becky was the very first to leave the show, but she helped the group a lot, and did all the challenges very well. She quit being on the show after the "Navigation" challenge because all the walking was too difficult for her. She also left because she felt as though she needed to help her family on environmental projects.

Catarina: The Tough Girl

Catarina has endured through a lot in her life. If it gets cold she says she has hypothermea, and if it gets hot she says she will die of heat stroke. So really it seams like she has endured nothing in her life. While on the show she hurt her ankle.

Holden: The City Boy

Holden is really funny and he makes everyone laugh. So far he seemed to endure the challenges, but he quit the show after the "Deep Woods" challenge. He is the first boy to leave.

Jennifer: The Hunter

Jen is a fierce competitor and she's currently the only remaining girl. She is giving hints that she likes Adam; for instance she said "I don't think I'd be here if it weren't for Adam".

Kareem: The Motivator

Kareem seems to be more of a social outcast in the group because he doesn't be himself. Everyone likes him and wants him to be part of the group, if only he would be himself more. However, he is a good motivator and kept the group focused and entertained with a vast knowledge of survival.

Zac: The Camp Counselor

Zac is one of the strongest contestants even though he is the youngest in the group. Zac loves camping, and that's been helping him come this far. He believes that the toughest challenge he will face is leaving the forest. His confidence is currently a good aspect to himself and his teammates. Zac is good at teaching people what to do in the wilderness. Many say that Zac will survive the longest out of everybody in the group.
