Nick Viall found the experience of the show challenging due to the lack of nutrition and the constant pressure of 18-hour days.

“they're this they're you up all day long and like that you really like enjoy like little moments of like just having each other's back cuz you really are it's not a competition show it's just like you're competing with yourself you're just trying to survive”

Jack Osbourne describes the show as difficult, highlighting that the production environment was physically demanding and colder than it appeared on screen.

“It's way hotter than what they show it's I'm willing to do it no I'm not willing to do it but I'm that's what I do cuz I go I like testing my metal and and it seemed like legit”
