The team will leave the participant with a kit containing some obviously useful items but also some more unusual items. A camera operator accompanies the participant throughout the game but is under strict instructions not to help them out. Essentially it's a test of the individual's survival skills and ability to make the most of what they receive.

* BadAss: Everyone who participates is expected to be this, but especially applies every time someone manages to sneak some extra survival gear past the others.

-->'''John Hudson:''' ''[to the attendees, explaining their presence]'' My friends. ''[carries on with the lecture for a moment before he starts running]''

* EpicFail: In Jake's second participation he constantly chooses the wrong direction to go in [[spoiler: and tries crossing the Namib desert in the middle of the day.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As the participant you're apprehended when you least expect it, searched and dropped off in the middle of nowhere for up to 100 hours, but the team will come to the rescue if the situation gets too serious.

* TheLoad: In Terry's second participation he's given a puppy to look after during the game.
