Ancient man: make fire, do primal victory dance

Actual survivalist in the womens group: I think we should do this

The net arc wasn’t a negative for the men, they argued a bit at the beginning but it overall became a positive bonding moment for all the men. It’s was probably one of the best parts of the show when the net paid off.

The guy who killed the croc was the IT guy. He was the office worker and the men and women were chosen with the same requirements so no one had more than a biological advantage.

Womens team : We are hungry, Thirsty and we have no fire

Both teams went through a few weeks long survival training so they both had equal chance at survival. Both teams had 1 survival specialist and men made him their leader while women bullied her out from their camp. Women managed to make fire on the first day but let it go out while men managed to make fire on the second day but never let it go out.

While the guy fixed the net the group was starving but in the end the gamble paid out and the guys shitting on him ended apologizing after he proved himself

Most men actually underestimate how tough they can get in a survival scenario (with the help of at least one other man to lead the group). You can see this happening in everything from the drafting during wartime to national disasters suddenly turning office Joe into a man working day and night to rescue people. Those stories are common, don't underestimate yourself men.

Both sides were provided a survival expert for advice. They picked a fight with theirs and she left the group

"I'm going to do what I want to do" -proceeds to ignore the specialist in their midst and learns things the hard way instead, suffering for it.

the women HAD a professional survival expert on their team and the group bullied her out .. anything that happened after that is soley on them. no sympathy.

Each group was given a survival expert. The men elected their expert to be their leader, and the women bullied and refused to listen to their expert because they didn't want anyone telling them what to do

In this competition I heard the women actually had a real survival expert with them who was trying to guide them, they ignored and called her out so she walked away and made her own camp. Not 100% certain just something that has come up a few times.

both groups had one "expert" when it came to this

… the problem was never their skills. You can learn those. Improve those. It was never their affinity. You can work around that. It was their team work. Often, they were lazing about, or being selfish. They had one woman who knew something about survival (I believe she had camping experience) and they ignored most of time. One of them stating: “I don’t like her telling me what to do.”

The purpose wasn’t to find the best survivors of both sexes. It was to take a team of random men and women as a sample of general society and see who does better. This was never a contest because men have had to do this for the entirety of humanity. This is why denying gender roles is like pretending to hire a plumber to do your gardening. Men and women have different inherent strengths and weaknesses.
