To think about it, these people were the experts in their own fields, be it geology, meteorology, or biology. If you placed them in the wild, wouldn't that be the perfect place for them?
They did not understand why the production team had to include six other unnecessary guests in the variety show. All these celebrities and amateurs had no experience and knowledge about living in the wild. Therefore, the experts were certain that these guests would definitely drag them down when it came to completing the tasks and missions.
On the other hand, the people in the celebrity group were equally very frustrated, as this was a variety show and not an academic seminar or event after all. A variety show would lie within the field of entertainment, so why should they be led by those in the expert group? Besides that, if the experts were all so arrogant, why had they even bothered to participate in the show? Did they really need the money?
