Mark Burnett once warned me about this, saying that it’s been the cause of a lot of his success. In the first Eco Challenge, a team with 4 Navy Seals was beaten by a family that included a 72-year-old grandmother, and he bet everything that he would be able to document this in a real-world setting.
There is a wrinkle in this, however, something he doesn’t talk about. The fifth member, though much better than average within the competition, was not a Navy Seal. Mark was a commando himself, and knew what would happen.
