How Does ‘Extracted’ Work? ‘Hunger Games’ Meets ‘Big Brother’ Series Explained by Expert

The goings on in the wilderness and HQ are filmed through a 24/7 live feed, leaving the families to watch in fear as their loved one faces the cold Canadian landscape completely alone in the hopes of winning $250,000. Hine is a wilderness guide, adventure TV producer, and survival consultant whose work you’ve seen on numerous Bear Grylls shows and other survivalist reality series.
