-During the filming of the first season in Costa Rica, filming under the guidance of director and coordinator Guillaume St-Arnaud stretched over 20 long, humid days, but crews arrived on location a month before the contestants to prepare the various sets and challenges. They had to juggle 28 cameras, 15 GoPro's and drones. And the challenges were many for the team; tropical storm on the first day, lots of driving rain, high heat as well as mosquitoes by the ton. To ensure everyone's safety, two people were assigned to "clean" the site of snakes that wandered in and a team, including a doctor, was in place to ensure the well-being of the campers.
