Survive This is a Canadian reality TV show that airs on YTV in Canada. The show also aired in the United States on Cartoon Network on June 17, 2009.[1][2] On this show, Les Stroud takes eight teenagers into the wild to teach them how to survive. The show premiered on April 7, 2009 in Canada and on June 17, 2009 in the United States.[3]

Overview

Eight teenagers were taught for a week on how to survive, and then they were taken to the wild. There, Les Stroud gives them various challenges all based on wilderness survival. Rather than being eliminated at the end of every episode every teenager is asked if they would like to leave the game or stay in.

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.In the "Mountains" episode, Adam is seen cuddling Jen while sleeping.

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. She is called the princess because at home people do a lot of chores for her like her mom does her laundrey

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. She is strong at heart, but when things get the better of her, she quickly gives up. Catarina quit being on the show after the "Deep Woods" challenge, but then she chose to come back. Later, she chose to quit again after the "Swamp" challenge. In the Navigation episode she had an injury before all of them reached the first waypoint.

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". In the "Mountains" Episode she is seen cuddling with Adam while sleeping.

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.

Zac: The Camp Counsellor

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.
