    It's a show on Discovery channel- it makes Survivor look like a game show.

    Has anyone seen it? It's actually pretty fascinating.

    I have seen it!
    Once he ate the coconut crab and killed the goat - he was good to go!
    Before that, a little dodgy!

    That was a really interesting show, displaying psychological and emotional issues as well as extreme survival situations.

    It was a great show. I wish he wouldnt have had to make the phone call, but I dont blame him.

    I found it interesting, but was somewhat surprised there we so few episodes. Wasn't it 3 episodes covering 60 days. Just thought there would be more.

    It was a surprisingly low number of shows. He's writing a book with lots more detail about his experience.

    Saw it also. Got damn lucky with that goat. I liked when his tooth came out.

    It would be cool to put a different person on the same island for 60 days and see how they would do things differently.

    I am always skeptical about the one walled shelters people build. Always seems like the angle of the wall is too vertical to keep any rain out, but They always seem happy with the result.

    It was a pretty good show. How he found that goat entangled in those trees was sceptical though. It's still tv I guess.
