I've only watched 2 episodes so far, haven't seen yours yet. But it seems to me that this show is following the standard Discovery Channel model of finding people who don't get along very well and putting them in stressful situations together. The editing seems to focus more on the interpersonal drama rather than the actual situation.

This isn't aimed at you of course, but rather Discovery production staff. Did you feel pressured by the producers, or was there any discussion of highlighting issues involving personal drama?

I recall a few weeks ago there was an article about a Yup'ik village here on Reddit, and the writer of the article referred to them as Eskimo. There was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth as person after person replied that the correct name for them was Inuit. Just curious how you feel about that.

Edit: obviously you aren't Inuit... just curious how many people make that mistake.
