Season 1 Review:

This season’s players, meanwhile, are a well-cast blend of obvious influencers and fascinating on-screen characters.

Season 1 Review:
Dom is one of the few contestants to create a genuine audience connection, talking about his mother and how he’ll bring her the prize money if he wins, while most others remain blank slates beyond a name and occupation even after five episodes. ... Series director Kate Douglas-Walker and team focus on making the game play digestible, against the gorgeous backdrop of Australian nature and history. ... The first batch of episodes make for an easy weekend binge.

Season 1 Review:
The challenge design is solid, and Wagner has the makings of a strong host. (If her interactions with the contestants seem a bit tightly scripted, that rhymes with just about everything else the contestants do.) ...

In the absence of players whose personalities give us something to really grab onto, the pleasure of a well-structured game can be enough.
