This reality show is a competition, but the participants do not compete against each other. They are subjected to physical and mental tests that are based on military training.
The sixteen celebrities are taken to a remote desert location where they live for ten days under a military-style regimen designed to test them. They are taught various skills that might aid survival in a combat environment.
Competitors drop out if they cannot handle the stress. Along the way, some tap out for emotional reasons, others due to injuries. It becomes abundantly clear that mental obstacles-like a fear of heights---make the challenges very difficult for many.
There are some surprises in who survives till the end of the course. It is interesting to see the competitors assess and reassess their prospects throughout the show. In the end, it appears that almost every celeb learned something about him/herself. Introspective viewers can also learn about themselves.
