Reception

Critics panned the show, criticizing the show's antisocial tone and lack of originality. Writing for Common Sense Media, Melissa Camacho said that the show's violence is "is shrouded in clichéd rituals to exoticize the experience, but it's not enough to hide the fact that it's showcasing a mild version of the worst of humanity for the purpose of entertainment".[15] Writing for Reality Blurred, Andy Denhart criticized the show for being unengaging due to a lack of character development, and that its repeated recourse to violence was "a little one-note".[16] Joel Keller, a writer for Decider.com, said that "despite not being all that different than most survival reality series, there's a nastiness to Fight To Survive that's off-putting. It's not like other series of this type don't have contestants forming alliances and being cutthroat, but for some reason or another, this show wants to show everyone's cutthroat tendencies off the bat rather than show actual survival skills."[17]
