Executive SummaryAI
Jimmy strands 100 people in the wilderness: a blue team of survival experts against a red team of amateurs, and whichever side has the most people left when help arrives splits $250,000.
The red team was told the challenge in advance and taken to a store for rope, a tarp, a 24-pack of water and lighters, while the blue team believed they were only filming a Mr. Beast video and packed blind.
The experts' debris shelters and foraging carried them through freezing nights, rain and a near-tornado storm, while the amateurs burned through their snacks in two days and both sides bled members to flares.
In the 50-can challenge both teams returned all 50 unopened cans, so neither won a reward, and in the five-box challenge Patrick hit the button on the last box, taking steaks and Jack Links for the blue team and leaving the red team nothing.
After 20 days the blue team had 11 people to the red team's nine, so the experts won the $250,000 at $22,000 each while every red team member went home with $4,000.
