荒野求爱是NBC今年夏季播出的一档真人速配节目。该片号称幸存者与极速前进的加强升级版。 20对男女配对后被丢在哥斯达黎加的热带丛林里,身上只有一份地图,但是他们却要面临诸多挑战。每一天结束前,获胜者都有机会共享浪漫时光,不过事先他们必须做出选择——是选择和现在的搭档继续在一起还是换搭档迎接明天的挑战。 每一集中,每对组合都将经受身体、精神以及情感上的极限挑战,其中包括自己动手制作木筏、在鳄鱼出没的河流上划行、穿越蝙蝠栖息的恐怖洞穴,甚至还要被吊在距离热带雨林上方200英尺的高空并顺着哥斯达黎加最壮观的瀑布滑到地面……在经历过众多艰险后,参赛者们或许能在彼此身上发现优点,迸发激情,并最终走到一起。 每一轮最先完成任务的组合会获得由五星级“绿洲宾馆”提供的浪漫套房一晚。虽然“绿洲宾馆”外表看起来很简陋,却是全世界所有情侣向往的“浪漫圣地”。而其他人则留在豪华的“木屋宾馆”开展社交活动。 每一集结束时,所有人都将聚到一起来描述他们与现在搭档建立起了哪些方面的联系与共识。假使有人决定换搭档,那么根据任务的完成情况,表现出色的人可以自由选择搭档。而最后剩下的那两个“落单”的人(其他人不愿意配对)即被宣布淘汰。

学习如何在日益拥挤的星球上生存也许是我们人类的终极挑战,但有一个地方,拥有的世界人口六分之一印度,人们却特别适应生活在这么拥挤的土地上。这个系列高清纪录片将带我们进入印度最密集的地区加尔各答和孟买,了解这里人们的生活现状及生存压力。 BBC 2012年播出,用3集记录印度的底层人如何在人多地少的环境中工作。印度现在有人口 12亿,占世界的六分之一,每个家庭都有很多孩子,对于穷人来讲,这可是一个很大的负担,看看印度人是如何在他们的国土上为了生活奋斗的。 Learning how to survive on an increasingly crowded planet is probably our ultimate challenge. But there is one place, home to over a sixth of the world's population, which is already making a good shot at adapting: welcome to India. This observational series casts aside the usual preconceptions about the sub-continent, and lets a few of India's 1.2 billion show how their world really works. With astonishing access into the densest districts of Kolkata and Mumbai, it celebrates the impressive resourcefulness, resilience and absolute pragmatism of those living and working there, and reveals the psyche needed to get ahead in the biggest of crowds. Part 1. This episode follows two main characters as they employ all their ingenuity to carve out a home. With more people moving to cities in India than anywhere else on earth, securing that place you can call home is vital for nurturing your family's future. Part 2. Johora started out as a rag-picker, but through building a bottle recycling business on a railway embankment, she has big ambitions for her family of seven kids. And it is not just small waste. Kanye uses a blowtorch to cut up ships discarded by the rest of the world, helping satisfy India's thirst for steel. And Ashik buys up beef fat from the abattoir, and proudly renders it down to make tallow. It looks disgusting, even before he is plagued by a maggot infestation. But this thrifty use of 'waste' may well be destined for your soap or cosmetics. Part 3. With India destined to become the most populous nation on earth by 2026, you have got to be highly tactical in your search for a better life. It is not just about you and your dreams today - it is about the family over generations to come. Prakash and Mangesh are brothers in their early twenties from an illegal settlement surrounded by the buzz of downtown Mumbai. Prakash is deckhand on a yacht while striving to realise his dream and launch a Bollywood career. But his family make it clear his sole purpose is to earn enough to fund in their joint future: his brother Mangesh's course in software engineering. Swapan, a merchant in a hectic fish market, works so hard for his family's future that his wife knows he is ruining his health. And Sujit, who crafts disposable clay tea cups in Kolkata, hardly dares dream of seeing his family hundreds of miles away.
