Review of Outlast

If you think that this is another similar survival competition with a big prize to win, you only get it half right. Turns out it has more dirty plays that exposes true ugliness in some of the human beings which hasn't been shown often in this type of survival games. Due to the lack of rules set up by the organizer of the prize winning game, some of the players started to use very unethical dirty tricks against other teams or members, especially those who just faced some obstacles that made them look weak in others' eyes. As an observer who has no skin in it, you can tell right away who are the dirty ones in the game. But in the show and just like in real life, those evildoers kept on finding all sorts of excuses proving that they had a right to do whatever they want and even bragging about their "righteousness". The grossest scene in the whole show is when one team was reduced to only one person and had to combine force with another weakened team according to one of a few rules, those evildoers attacked openly at that player's weakest time, as those two teams were separated by a river and it'd take them time to cross the river and combine their force. That devil just stood right at that single person's base and threatened to sabotage and destroy his base if he leaves his base to help receive the other team crossing the river, while the evildoer's other accomplice went to the riverside to destroy the opponent's raft. Well, if there's no rule at all as in the wild West, it would make total sense for others to subdue those evildoers by force or whatever means possible instead of watching them stabbing other players' backs without any consequences. That would make it a fairer.
