Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls - Season 1

World-renowned survivalist Bear Grylls ("Man vs. Wild," "Born Survivor") leads a non-stop extreme survival journey that tests 10 teams of two beyond their wildest imaginations as they venture into the unforgiving and dramatic landscape of New Zealand's South Island. Their mission is threefold: survive the wild, journey as a group and avoid elimination. Each week, Bear will send home one team. In the end, only one duo will remain - the team that he believes has shown the most heart, courage, initiative and resolve in their quest to "get out alive" and claim a life-changing grand prize of $500,000.

The nine remaining teams face their fears in their first challenge after being transported via helicopter into dangerous alpine terrain, where they must climb to the top of a jagged cliff. Meanwhile, tempers flare on one team, and with little food, some contestants are running out of steam. In the end, one team will be sent home and only one duo will remain - the team that has shown the most heart, courage, initiative and resolve in their quest to "get out alive" will claim a life-changing grand prize of $500,000.

The four remaining teams confront their next challenge as they get helicoptered to the top of a glacier, where they must navigate unforgiving terrain and dangerous crevasses.
