In the series premiere of the comedic competition series KICKING AND SCREAMING, hosted by Hannah Simone, 10 survivalists and 10 novices pair up in the wilds of Fiji to win half a million dollars. As the novices adjust to life in the jungle, the survivalists quickly realize that the competition and gameplay aren’t the only obstacles to overcome.

After an intense elimination, teams are on edge as they fear they could be sent home next. But as time in the jungle continues, romance and tempers flare in the camp, causing the pairs to struggle with finding their team dynamics. The next elimination proves that communication is key and teams are hanging on for survival.

The competition gets strategic when the teams realize they are only one elimination challenge away from the making it to the Top Five.
