Has anyone seen this show on the Discovery Channel? Especially anyone who likes either Survivorman or Man vs. Wild? The premise is that a group of athletes (all men this season ) spent a full year traveling the world to different nations or regions where there are tribes that have a tradition of ritualized combat or endurance contests. Then the guys live with the tribe for weeks, getting trained in this particular style of fighting or whatever, then compete with each other in the local style as part of a local contest. They have gone to Mongolia for wrestling, Bali for stick fighting, Brazil for some kind of jujitsu, and also to the Philippines, Vanuatu, and Bolivia. The guy who wins the most competitions is crowned "Last man Standing" Sarah and I watched the season finale last night, but I am sure that they will be repeating the episodes. Bear Grissom would do great on this show!

I've seen previews but they didn't grip me. Did you like it enough to watch again?

The concept is great, and some of the action, but the show is not as well edited or filmed as some of the other reality shows ( survivor, man vs. wild, etc)
I would check it out again, just to see some of the locations and "sports" that people engage in
