Legendary survivalist Bear Grylls tests five wannabe survivalists with extreme, gross and hilarious challenges based on his own adventures. An obsessed superfan tries to be the first one to survive Bear and win the $10,000 prize.

Bear throws down the gauntlet for armchair survivalist Matt who's cocky he'll win. An ex-NFL cheerleader, bull testicles and a filthy challenge from Bear stand in the way of Matt taking home the $10,000 prize.

Bear cooks up new challenges that include drinking a signature Bear Grylls cocktail and stuffing the contestants in a blacked-out box to simulate an avalanche. Only one of the five contestants will survive Bear and leave $10,000 richer.

Bear takes a new crop of contestants to the top of Mt. Sherpa, down to the desert for a stomach-churning game and onto a rain-soaked rock face to see who can survive. In the mayhem, he gets a shocking confession.

Bear takes his evil game up a notch - "breaking" contestant's legs and zapping them to simulate the agony of having a fractured leg in the wild. Add in alligator for danger and Bear will know who can survive him and claim the $10,000.

Bear ignites the game with a smelly challenge, then strips the challengers of their clothes for an arctic ice bath and finally offers up an eight-legged course to determine who can walk a mile in his shoes.
