This show is the second season of the Discovery Channel series that documents one team's expedition to Mt. Everest. Some team members returned from the previous season in another attempt to conquer the mountain. Additionally, you met several new team members who's goal is to proceed into an area where no living creature can survive for long.
It was very nice to see some familiar faces again and really root for their success. It was also nice to see that Russell, the team leader, truly sticks to his word and does not let someone proceed up the mountain if they are not physically able to do so. His convictions, as explained in the bonus shows, are what make his team the safest way to conquer Everest. He may seem like a hardass sometimes, but everything he does is to protect his clients and his team.
10 words or less: A new season is starting in December. Can't wait.

Survivorman
View Dates
Season 1: 8/16/09
Season 2: 8/29/09
This is a series about a man, Les Stroud, who sets up various scenarios to survive in the wilderness for a week at a time. Usually he is not provided with any supplies outside of what would be available based on the scenario that was set up. For example, when he set up a motorbike running out of gas in the desert of the western USA, he had a utility tool and his motorbike.
This is a very enlightening series that can give many really good survival tips. He demonstrates several different ways to catch food, start a fire, and find water over the course of two seasons. My only comment is that watching the whole series in a short amount of time, it tends to get repetitive. At times it somewhat seems unbelievable, even though it is obvious that he is really out there.
10 words or less: Good show, but not all in a row.
