Kicking & Screaming is an American reality competition television series that premiered on FOX in 2017. The show pairs 10 expert survivalists with 10 pampered, inexperienced partners in a tropical jungle in Fiji. The experts are trained in a wide range of survival tactics and techniques, while the partners are accustomed to the luxuries of modern life. Together, they must work to survive in the harsh and unforgiving wilderness.

Each episode of Kicking & Screaming features a series of challenges that test the contestants' survival skills, physical stamina, teamwork, and ability to adapt to their new surroundings. The winning team is granted immunity from elimination, while the losing team must face the dreaded "Ring of Fire," where one member will be sent home. As the competition progresses, the challenges become more difficult and the alliances become more complex, leading to intense drama and unexpected twists.

The 10 survival experts come from diverse backgrounds, including military veterans, wilderness guides, and extreme athletes. Among them are Natalie Casanova, a former Marine and skilled survivalist with a no-nonsense attitude; Maxwell Carr, a wilderness guide and survival instructor with an uncanny ability to catch fish with his bare hands; and Elaine Swann, a self-described "etiquette expert" who struggles to adapt to life in the wild. The partners range from social media influencers to stay-at-home moms, and each brings their own unique strengths and weaknesses to the team.

Throughout the season, viewers get an up-close look at the physical and emotional toll that the competition takes on the contestants. From battling hunger and dehydration to facing their fears in high-stakes challenges, the contestants are pushed to their limits and must learn to rely on each other for survival. At the same time, they must navigate the complex dynamics of their partnerships, which are often fraught with tension and distrust.

Despite the high-stakes nature of the competition, Kicking & Screaming also has plenty of humor and lighthearted moments. The contestants' mismatched skill sets and personalities often lead to hilarious misunderstandings and awkward encounters, and the survival experts are not above poking fun at their pampered partners. The result is a show that is both entertaining and informative, providing viewers with a fascinating look at what it takes to survive in the wild.

Overall, Kicking & Screaming is a captivating reality competition series that will appeal to fans of shows like Survivor and Naked and Afraid. With its stunning tropical setting, diverse cast of characters, and high-stakes challenges, it offers a thrilling and unique twist on the survival genre. Whether you're a seasoned survivalist or just a fan of reality TV, Kicking & Screaming is a show you won't want to miss.
