Hakim Isler

Ed goes head to head with ex-PSYOPS marine & real-life ninja, Hakim Isler, in the notorious Zoige Marshes of Sichuan Province. It's a test of willpower for both men as they sink in strength-sapping quick-mud. Ed nearly drowns and has to find another way.

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. During the prize challenge, emotions run high as a huge prize is up for grabs. Meanwhile, the camp is struggling with their food supply and some people struggle with keeping their head in the game.

When Kirsten struggles with a serious allergic reaction, she and her partner worry that their team may be in jeopardy. Then, as the teams enter the week’s prize challenge, they quickly realize that rivalries are already forming and things get personal during the elimination.

The six remaining teams are ready to devour their competition for a spot in the Top 5, but a prize challenge reward sparks romance between rival contestants. Later, two teams are left feeling crabby at the elimination challenge, which ends in an emotional departure.
