But it is the way Fight to Survive explicitly uses violence to demonstrate how primordial one must be willing to become in order to stay in the game that is the most problematic. Go to Full Review

The strategy makes Fight to Survive more interesting than the average survival show for me, though giving them violence as the only tool makes the reality show a little one-note. Go to Full Review

We were just put off by how quickly the contestants on Fight To Survive got nasty and dark. And while that may be the point of the show, it’s not a show that we want to invest the time in because of that nastiness. Go to Full Review

Wayne H @RT05825922 05/21/2025 The show seems to promote bullying. I hated to see some contestants bullying other smaller and non violent contestants to compete in the arena. I know this is part of the show but they could have done it with more class. This is typical bully behaviour. Missy, J and Amal are bullies. See more Deena M @RT69441693 08/13/2024 Absolutely awesome show if you like survival shows. Please make a season 2 See more Gil V @RT06318941 06/28/2024 This is the worst show I've seen in a long time. The show is a similar to Survivor, but it's much, much worse. Survivor has over 40 seasons. You could pick the season you hate the most and it's still 10 times better than "Fight to Survive" aka the worst show CW has ever made. I don't know why they even bothered adding anything else to the show besides the battle ring. The biggest people might as well just battle each other to see who wins the money and call it a day. Everything else is completely irrelevant. The host makes Jeff Probst look like a genius. You can tell that lazy neanderthal put no effort into studying successful hosts or preparing for the show. Terrible cast too. I can't blame the people who decided to quit. I would quit too if I had to hear another dumb speech from Missy. This show was designed to give free money to bullies with no class. The most shocking part was when a bully headbutted a non-violent survivalist on the show. They weren't competing at the time. It was literally physical assault and the show did absolutely nothing about it. I can't believe the public said nothing about this like it's okay. See more Christy M @Cmfilm 05/19/2024 it started okay, but became repetitive. Once they changed the game to fight for extinction. it was no longer interesting. The strongest person would win, which isn't realistic in survival. Fast forwarded through the last several episodes ti the anticlimactic ending. Even the contestants seemed bored of the game. See more lily b @RT02238128 10/24/2023 Worst show ever. They put a whole bunch of people on what appeared to the audience (and the contestants) to be a "survival" show but was actually just a "american gladiator" show. Then, they have one person who is a very muscled former Ninja Warrior battle with people in matches that mainly requires grip strength. Then we get to listen to Akbar praise and grovel to that guy for beating up and winning against people who are obviously weaker than him. Watching a strong guy beat up weak people may be impressive to Akbar and the producers but not to the audience. I was disgusted. The only thing that was actually impressive was that some of the survivors did a great job of finding food and securing water despite being stripped of all their resources by the same drooling muscle bound idiot and his bully partners. What A JOKE of a show. The producers should be EMBARASSED. See more Ali H @RT75547057 10/24/2023 I'm a huge fan of Survivor, Naked and Afraid, Alone - all these competition survival shows - plus The Challenge. This show had the makings of being something great - an incredible combination of all those shows and more. Instead, it immediately went to a dark and vicious place and I absolutely hated it. Usually when a show sets up a group of bloodthirsty villains and bullies, they get their comeuppance. These folks were savage and primal with their hatred from day one and it never got better. There was no redemption, no character evolution, nothing but vitriol and it left a sour taste in my mouth. I get playing like that after the halfway point but they came out of the gate like that and never stopped. Beyond the cast of psychopaths on "Team Fight," the editing is beyond trash. People left and we barely knew about it, we see little more than the conflict between the two groups (none of the relationship building that clearly happened on both sides), and it felt like production let the one side play very dirty in the arena - elbows to the face, grinding knees into wrists - this is dirty play that would never be allowed on any other show. If the host didn't repeatedly say he wanted a "clean fight," I might have just chalked it up to lack of rules for fair gameplay. However, they stopped the fight more than once when the "good guys" looked to have the upper hand and never stopped when the "bad guys" were clearly trying to break the wrists of the other competitors. My point is that this show is dirty, hateful, and glorifies a cutthroat "winner take all" mentality. My blood pressure rose at least 30 points watching this garbage. I hope it doesn't get renewed and that none of you bother to watch it. See more Read all reviews
