SOS: How to Survive (2017– )
2/10
Good concept bad execution
15 January 2022
There are some helpful tips but I have to say this show sort of made me sick. Let me tell you, I hunt and fish. I eat the food I harvest throughout the year. The problem I have is I just watched an episode where this couple get lost in the desert. The survival expert demonstrates how to catch minnows that live in the little rainwater pools found in some of the rocks. It is truly amazing these fish can survive and are found in those pool. So, this survival expert show if you need protein you can capture them in a water bottle. First, you have a better chance eating the insect found on the ground then these little minnows. He captures a few then boils them in water. The camera shot shows one of these minnow that is now reduced down to just about nothing. You would need a ton of these to give you a protein load. They do this for the sake of the show. There was no reason ya had to kill the minnows to drive the point across. We could get the point without you boiling them up and wasting them. I get it. If you are starving and this was a possibility to survive then go for it. The problem is the host is not starving or lost and there is no reason that you have to kill these little creature for the sake of ratings. What he should have said is I'm going to let them go and hopefully no one will ever need to capture them. This was a disgraceful episode. I am sure you have more where you show many things getting killed. If you are starving and need it at that time then fine. But your not. If you are hunting and harvesting food for the winter then fine. But you are not, your just posing for the camera and ratings. This is shameful TV.
