"7 vs. Wild Switzerland": the concept
Seven participants are dropped off by helicopter on a deserted Caribbean island - and have to fend for themselves there for two weeks. With no lighter, no drinking water and hardly any food, they fight against hunger, thirst and extreme weather conditions. Spiders, crabs, lack of sleep, wind, rain and heat push them to their physical and mental limits.
Conflicts arise, some feel excluded, others withdraw. Who loses control? Who rises above themselves? And who will make it to the end?
Everything is 100% real: the participants film themselves, unfiltered reactions are guaranteed. From Sunday, it will be revealed who can cope best with the extreme situation.
"7 vs. Wild": The original
"7 vs. Wild" is a German survival reality show that was founded in 2021 by YouTuber Fritz Meinecke. Seven participants - later also duos - are isolated in the wilderness with minimal equipment and have to survive for up to 14 days. The original format relies on self-filming, real isolation and the direct fight against nature without camera teams.
