There are so many survival reality competition shows out there, but these are the ones that I really had fun watching

1. Steel Unit
Korean TV Show - 2021, 19 episodes
Inspiring military survival competition with heart

Korean TV Show - 2016, 11 episodes
The one that started it all and spawned off so many replicas of the idol survival competition

3. Unpretty Rapstar

This is what catapulted Jessi to fame and with good reason. The cat fights were delicious to watch

A battle with real dancers that started out catty, but became a lovefest of female support...plus Aiki who I love

9. Siren: Survive the Island

An intense game of capture the flag between fierce women teams: soldiers, firefighters, athletes, police, bodyguards, and stuntwomen. Reminded me between a cross of 100 physical, iron squad and squid game.

10. Game of Blood

So much backstabbing and lying to survive the competition with Jimin at the helm. Fun to watch. Dex was my fav
-
11. Bloody Game Season 2
Korean TV Show - 2023, 14 episodes
Almost as good as the 1st season. The fight between Dex and Seungin made for a monument moment. How all the strategies played out was fun to watch.
-
12. The Devil's Plan
Korean TV Show - 2023, 12 episodes
Smart people gather together in a house and battle it out with brain games and alliances in order to win a big cash prize. Most games were hard to understand since it was made for mensa people so sometimes it was a bit boring since I couldn't follow, but the whole alliance aspect was interesting. Was def rooting for Ha Seok Jin and Orbit annoyed the hell out of me.

13. Street Woman Fighter Season 2
Korean TV Show - 2023, 10 episodes
S2 is just as good as S1. I loved that they had an international team consisting of Kirsten who I loved from Royal Family. She has so much presence. It's a great program that gives exposure to dancers we may not know like Bada for example. What a talent! Fun times!
-
14. The Iron Squad Season 3
Korean TV Show - 2023, 12 episodes
Harder missions made this a blast to watch and you have some standout characters to root for.
-
15. Queen Bee Game
Korean TV Show - 2024, 10 episodes
There are teams with a queen bee and their worker male bees. Some recognizable guys from the military shows or physical 100. I like all the twists the showrunners threw in to imitate bee life.
