Discovery Channel Announces Survive The Raft Competition Series

Discovery Channel is inviting fans to see who will Survive The Raft this summer on their airwaves. Warner Bros. Discovery had a lot of projects to announce yesterday, Discovery wasn't going to be left out in the cold. But, these contestants might just have that unfortunate distinction. Over the course of nine episodes, NFL star Nate Boyer will host the show that sees a number of diverse contestants trying to get across the finish line despite temptation to flush it all away. Mexican anthropologist Santiago Genovés devised a behavioral study in 1973 that argues the fact that people from different backgrounds can work together during a 101-day voyage. Discovery Channel looks to put that to the test with Survive The Raft.

Discovery dropped a synopsis for the show: "Produced near Panama's Pearl Islands, SURVIVE THE RAFT follows nine diverse contestants who set sail on the Acali II for twenty-one days to test whether personal interest will sabotage the team's chance to win a fortune together. The stakes are high: with each successful mission, the team earns money towards a communal cash pot that will be divided equally by those who make it to the end.

"Every week, participants are tasked with completing physical and intellectual challenges designed to disrupt and divide the group. At the end of each episode, the crew of the Acali II are given the option to continue as a group, or swap one of their own for a new participant. Will the good for all outweigh the good for one?"
