Television Adventurer
Les Stroud truly believes in the dictum that only the fittest
survive. In Survivorman on Thursdays at 9 P.M. on Discovery
Channel, Stroud ventures out all alone in the wild for seven days
with only his wits and stamina to sustain him. No food, no
shelter, and no fresh water — each episode finds him abandoned
in a remote location with little more than the clothes on his back
— and 50 pounds of camera gear. In this new season, Stroud
travels the wilds and sets up real-world scenarios in which he
must survive. From the frigid Arctic tundra to the unforgiving
Australian Outback and from Papua New Guinea, to the rugged Sierra
Nevada, he tempts fate and comes out trumps. What’s cooking In the new season of Master
Chef, the challenges are bigger, the expectations higher and
the competition more intense, even as Australian families try
their hand at mastering a culinary feast fit for a king. This time
Master Chef from Tuesdays to Thursdays at 9 pm on Star
World travels to Australia. Thousands of budding cooks from
around the country have applied for this second series to showcase
their gastronomic skills. From adventures with pots and pans
aboard a cruise ship, to time-pressure challenges with mystery
boxes, filled with exotic ingredients, and from tasks that will
test their culinary creativity to cooking challenges against world
renowned chefs, this is an apprenticeship into the fiery world of
cooking. — NF
