Judging from the trailer, a lot. This show offers a unique spin on the gritty wildlife genre, as all of the contestants are rugged survivors in the truest sense of the word.
Every player has faced great ordeal, from combative situations to the harrowing addiction journey to recovery. In other words, these men and women are powerful! Not only will each of them have to face the dangers of the Alaskan wilderness, but they’re forced to face their own demons as well to compete.

Outlast: the rules
All 16 players, including 11 men and five women, were flown over the Alaskan tundra, where they were forced to skydive into the dense wilderness. The show was filmed in the fall, which means that the large bear population has yet to go into hibernation. Once on the ground, players learn that they will never work alone. Instead, they will be divided into four teams. Each team must grow up in a different location, learn to work together to survive, and win the game and the million dollar prize.
Players have a variety of backgrounds, but they are all very good at the art of survival. The real tension arises not from conflicts of style or methods but from differences in attitudes. How far will each team go to win? Not only will players need a compass to guide them, but they’ll also have to use their moral compass to determine how they play the game as it slowly turns into a winner-takes-all tournament to survive. What’s even more difficult is that players outside of an island can’t be voted on here. The only way to get out of the competition is to surrender voluntarily. Each contestant can change teams at any time, making loyalties fragile and leaving trust in short supply.
