I live in New Zealand. Never seen one, don't expect to. This silly bastard comes here on a game show and finds and eats one? Gah

I mean, if you don't find hiking/camping/survival/hunting/trapping interesting, then it's probably not for you.

But if you do, man it's like the holy grail. The show is also really well done from a technical standpoint.

Really sucks that someone killed a protected species though. From what I recall they typically try to train people on what they can and can't kill beforehand though.

Contestant Spencer 'Corry' Jones was aware he was breaking the rule when he killed and ate the bird, according to news site Radio New Zealand, citing a clip from the show.

So someone on the crew probably told them they shouldn’t touch it but they did it anyway.

hunting and trapping is one thing, I just don't get the entertainment of watching someone starve like on Survivor

Survivor started a lot more survival focused, it wasn't always a game show with a trapped on an island pretext.

It basically slowly flanderized itself into what it is today.
