"The Extracted concept had been sort of bouncing around for a couple of years in development," recounts Megan Hine. Hine has been a survival consultant for a number of these shows, most notably with Grylls. She served as the "Head of Extraction" on Extracted, helping facilitate the survivalists' entrance and exit from the game. Additionally, she's monitoring their vitals on her end off-camera, making sure nobody is in grave danger health-wise due to the elements.

If there's someone who's used to being filmed in the wild 24/7, it's Lauren-Ashley Beck. The influencer competed on Survivor's 39th season back in 2019, where she made it all the way to the penultimate day, eliminated in a firemaking showdown and becoming the final member of the jury. Over five years later, she tells me she was eager to tackle the Extracted experience for herself and get some redemption in the fire arena. And while she is happy to say she was able to do so, her time alone in the woods differed greatly from her experience out on the islands of Fiji.
"There are times where you can just lean on your fellow Survivors," she compares. "They don't have that. They really have to rely on themselves. I mean, they can talk out loud to their families back in HQ. But there's only so much their families back in HQ can do because they can't communicate with them directly. In thinking about the fact that these survivalists are out there by themselves, I don't know how they did it. The mental aspect of not being able to talk to someone else. It just really plays with your mind. I can't imagine how they did it."

"There are so many different alliances being formed, which is something that I was surprised to see," admits Beck. "But it's something that has to happen in order for the game to be successful, I think."

That voyeuristic perspective is the main appeal of Extracted. It continues to reinvent not only testing the physical, mental, and emotional limits of the human condition, but also loving relationships as well. And, according to Beck, that element of observation also spills over to the people watching from home as well.
