Season 1

This is a list of episodes for the second season of Survive This, a Canadian reality TV show on which eight teenagers with limited survival skills training are taken into a forest and confronted with a number of survival challenges to test their skills and perseverance.[1] The show is hosted by Les Stroud, who narrates each episode, provides the teens with survival challenges, and assesses their performance.[1][2]

The second season premiered on April 19, 2010, on YTV, a Canadian English-language cable television specialty channel.[3]

Participants

Participants were selected for the show, in part, based on their strong personalities.[4][5] All the participants were required to take a three-day survival program with David Arama, a wilderness survival expert and close friend of Les Stroud's.[6] Training including how to build a shelter, fire-starting, edible plants, and using a compass.[6] The season two cast included:

  • Colin—Colin is a 15-year-old from Hamilton, Ontario. He believes that a balance between school and friends is important. He was named "Ultimate Survivor" by Les Stroud.
  • Ian—Ian McBain is a 14-year-old from Ajax, Ontario. Interested in animals and the outdoors and seeking a career as a biologist, McBain was inspired to audition for the second season after seeing the first season episode Swamp: "The episode from the first season that really motivated me to try to get on the show was the swamp episode. "Most people would think 'Oh gross. a swamp, there's leaches and stuff.' That was the turning point for me, I was like 'I have to get on this show, that looks so fun, so many different experiences.'"[6] McBain, who admits to being an unadventurous "wimp", says that he learned to trust other people and believe in himself during the show.[6] For him, the toughest part of the series was getting through the nights and worrying about wild animal attacks.[6]
  • Jade—Jade is a 13-year-old girl from Ancaster, Ontario. She was raised on a farm.
  • Justin—Justin Cutajar is a 16-year-old from Mississauga, Ontario. He had auditioned for the first season but did not make the cut.[7] He auditioned for the second season because he still wanted to see how far he could push himself.[7] He says being on the show was "a life-altering experience."[7] The hardest part, for him, was the lack of food; he lost 12 pounds (5.4 kg) while filming the series.[7] Back at home after the show, he says he never leaves food on his plate and reminds himself every day of how he has a bed to sleep in and home to live in.[7] He cites patience, emotional strength, the will to live, and physical strength as the things which allowed him to get through the show.[7]
  • Manaal—Manaal Ismacil is a 16-year-old from St. Catharines, Ontario. Her mother is a Somalian who is a refugee from Somalia.[8] Manaal was born in Kenya, but her family emigrated to the United States when she was seven years old and to Canada four years later.[8] She attends Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School, loves to read and study, and has never been camping.[8] She had not seen the first season, but applied after being urged to do so by her younger sister (who had).[8] She is interested in International relations, and wants a career as a human rights lawyer.[8] She is a volunteer in many groups, including her school, the St. Catharines mayor's council, and Save the Children Canada.[8]
  • Michael—Michael Lattouf is a 17-year-old from Brampton, Ontario, who attends Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School and wants to be an actor.[5] He had no survival skills prior to appearing on the show.[5] He says that he felt overwhelmed at first. The producers and Les Stroud "just threw us right in, and it was non-stop," and he felt the lack of food was the most challenging aspect of the show.[5] He also felt that having eight teenagers on the show made for a lot of emotion.[5] Lattouf says the show was very challenging, and he learned a great deal from it. "People live like this every day—homeless people, or people in poor countries—and it made me understand their struggles more."[5]
  • Nicole—Nicole Ponce is a 14-year-old who is heavily involved in school athletics.
  • Patricia—Patricia Robins is a 16-year-old from Niagara Falls, Ontario, who is somewhat socially rebellious. She attends Stamford Collegiate Secondary School.[4] She applied to be on the show without having seen the first season.[4] She believed that only actors were admitted to the show, and felt that this would be a boost to her acting career.[4] After seeing the first season, she resolved to turn down the show if offered a chance to compete and then later changes her mind.[4] Labeled as "the rebel" on the show, she says she is more of a diva.[4]
