ESPN Gets 'Wild' with Outdoor Block ESPN is planning a "Survivor"-style series in which players compete for a cash prize, but there will be no reward challenges for banana splits or cushy spa days.
"The Wild Rules," which the cable sports giant is targeting for a September premiere, would drop two teams of six people into the wilderness of British Columbia. They would be given only the most rudimentary of supplies -- fish hooks and axes -- and have to gather their own food and water. The teams, made of up experienced outdoorsmen and -women, then compete in a race that will ultimately award one person $100,000.
"There won't be any prefabricated obstacle courses created by production companies," Dan Bowen, a producer of the show, tells The Hollywood Reporter. "This is a raw nature experience where Mother Nature is the boss."
"The Wild Rules" is scheduled to make its debut Sept. 8 as part of a Monday-night block of outdoor-themed programming. Related Shows
