Last One Standing is a thrilling reality show on Discovery Channel that had a run from 2007 to 2008. The show features ten contestants pitted against each other in a series of physical and mental challenges based on historical warrior practices from across the world.

The show's host, Roger Kwok, takes the contestants through a journey of combat practices and techniques from ancient civilizations such as the Aztecs, Greeks, and Maoris. The contestants must learn these skills and compete in some of the most challenging environments, including the jungles of South America, the deserts of Arizona, and the mountains of New Zealand.

Each episode of the show is devoted to a particular civilization and the skills that the contestants need to learn. For example, in the episode featuring the ancient Greeks, contestants learn about the fighting styles of Spartans and Athenians, and they face off in challenges such as gladiator battles and Spartan obstacle courses. In the Aztec episode, they learn about the fierce warriors of Mexico, and they have to face challenges in which they must scale a pyramid, swim through underwater tunnels, and fight each other in a maze filled with traps.

The challenges the contestants face in each episode are physically and mentally demanding, requiring contestants to be in top physical condition and have excellent strategic thinking skills. Each week, one contestant is eliminated based on their performance in the challenges. The elimination challenges are usually intense and involve a high degree of risk. Contestants who fail to perform adequately face the consequences of their actions and are sent home.

The prize for the Last One Standing show is a chance to be crowned the ultimate champion and win $100,000. To win the prize, the remaining contestants have to demonstrate their mastery of the warrior practices they have been learning throughout the show. The final episodes involve a series of grueling physical battles in which contestants have to demonstrate the techniques and strategies they have learned from all civilizations. Ultimately, the winner of the show is the last contestant standing.

What sets Last One Standing apart from other shows is its unique approach to exploring the world's history through combat techniques. The show is educational, entertaining, and engrossing. It offers viewers a captivating look at the incredible cultures that existed throughout history while raising awareness of the physical and mental discipline required to compete as a warrior.

The show has received critical acclaim, and Roger Kwok's hosting skills have been praised for his engaging commentary and his ability to bring out the best in the contestants. The show's editing and cinematography have also been commended for their immersive and cinematic quality.

In conclusion, Last One Standing is an excellent show that is worth watching.
