Parents' Guide to Outlast: The Jungle

OUTLAST: THE JUNGLE is an unscripted series featuring teams of people trying to survive the Central American wild for six weeks for $1 million. After arriving at a remote rain forest in Panama, 16 contestants receive air dropped instructions from game makers instructing them to divide themselves into three teams and set up separate base camps along the beach. Each team is also provided a different set of important tools to help them either build fire, shelter, or hunt, giving each one a specific advantage over the other. As they try to stay dry and look for food, the teams can choose to negotiate with one another to trade or share resources. But there are no rules to keep them from resorting to sabotage to get ahead, and there's nothing to stop them from exiling their teammates or leaving them behind in search of a better one. Contestants have to be on a team that consists of a minimum of two people to win, and a "teamless" player has 24 hours to latch on to another group before being eliminated. Tensions rise as fast as the temperature as the cast is forced to cope with the unforgiving heat, endless rains, hunger, illness, and injuries. Some may decide to leave and give up the prize, but others will do anything they can to make it to the very end.
