Game2: Winter will see 30 participants, evenly split between men and women, armed with knives and dropped into the Siberian wilderness for a nine-month survival test. Starting in July 2017, they will be competing for a £1.3 million prize, and are expected to hunt and fish for food in the bleak taiga forest in order to stay alive. The daring contestants – who must be over 18 and declared “mentally sane” – will be allowed 100kg of equipment to last them until April 1 2018, and are not permitted to take in guns.
Due to start on 1 July 2017, the contestants will first receive training - and those brave enough to take part can either survive alone or join together into teams. He warned: 'You should also keep in mind that this will be a real forest, with dangerous wildlife and harmful insects. Of course, there will be some safety precautions in place, but it would still take about half an hour to reach the area where the show will take place by helicopter.' Those taking part will be urged to forage and store food before winter in order to survive the cold months. In winter, contestants will need to catch fish through ice holes to feed themselves. Their target: to survive until 1 April - but it will be no joke. All participants will have to sign release of liability for injury and death waivers, he said. Each contestant will be permitted no more than 100 kilograms of equipment. The only weapons they can take will be knives: no guns. Each week participants may request some item from viewers who will be able to donate money for it via the project's website. Purchased items will then be delivered to participants.

If someone dies and the show still goes on, it would probably be the most watched show in the history of television.

click bait thread...not impressed with title or this "survivor island" notion...and, no one is going to die on the show...IF it airs even.
One of the best aspects of Martyrs is its originality. Most other modern horror movies all seem to be just variations on the same thing and once one catches an audience, like Saw, it is done to death until everyone is sick of it. Although it seems rushed by this description, Martyrs is actually paced well. Editing work with different camera angles also helps to create the overall mood of the movie. Some of the final shots in the movie turn out to be some of the best and are executed like a well-written poem. Martyrs is definitely not for everyone. The movie is disturbing to be sure. For those that like to have their notions about the world challenged, this is a film that accomplishes just that. However, the world you are introduced to is one that you are not sure you are better off knowing or not.
it is clearly said that contestants will have to follow the laws of the Russian Federation or they will be arrested and disqualified
