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 loses both of his legs.
Becca: The Princess
From the beginning you can tell Becca won't last very long. She wants to stay long enough to prove herself.
Becky: The Environmentalist
Seems fairly quiet.
Catarina: The Tough Girl
Catarina is always whiny because she's hungry all the time. There's not enough food!
Catarina has endured through a lot in her life. She actually doesn't come off as tough because she whines a lot and was in tears more than once. That label may be in reference to her bad attitude. While on the show she hurts her ankle and complains of heat stroke and hypothermia.
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 if you're Canadian. 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 because he makes fun of some of the other people who are annoying. Everyone likes him and wants him to be part of the group, if only he would be himself. However, he is the motivator and kept the group focused and entertained with his vast survival skills. He can go a little overboard and the other teens get mad at him.
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. Zac has the most expierence out of the group.
