If you are a fan of the survival reality genre, this is a must-watch. The high video quality makes the beautiful yet brutal setting pop, and the cast drama is worth the investment.
By night, they huddle around the sulfur fissure. The food is scarce—a few wrinkled olives, a single squid Liam caught with his bare hands (and immediately regretted). Chantelle, surprisingly, becomes the leader. She forages wild asparagus. She figures out how to desalinate seawater using a plastic tarp and the sun. She teaches Marco how to start a fire with a shattered iPod screen and some dry moss.
Instead of collecting stars from a simple tunnel, two celebrities—the boy-bander (Liam, 32, soft hands) and the reality star (Chantelle, 29, hardened by ten years of Love Island )—are lowered into a pit filled with 50,000 liters of Greek yogurt, feta brine, and fermented olive sludge. The task: find five "golden fleece tokens" buried beneath the surface. The catch: the pit is infested with eels. Not venomous, but blind, thrashing, and cold as betrayal. Liam vomits into the yogurt. Chantelle, screaming, surfaces with three tokens. The audience at home sees everything in 1080p—every splash, every gag, every moment Liam swallows a mouthful of brined whey.
