Extracted’s Blake on Surviving in the Wild — And Newfound Social Media Fame

‘Extracted’ airs on Mondays at 8/7c on FOX and Tuesdays next day on Hulu

FOX’s new reality competition series Extracted follows 12 amateur survivalists with no training who are abandoned in a remote forest where surveillance cameras film them 24-7. Us Weekly talks to one of the show’s breakout stars, Blake Kaminer, below about what it really takes to survive in the wild and to navigate his newfound fame in the social media jungle. Christy Carlson Romano had no plans to walk away from Special Forces when agent Billy Billingham took her number — a.k.a eliminating her from the show — on the Wednesday, January 29, episode of the Fox series.
