They were intrigued by the concept and the cast but were not fascinated by the host and the lack of drama. One fan tweeted:MadLawya🏳️‍🌈@MadTownMich@Variety I love “reality” tv. Quite literally have never missed a show of #Survivor. This show is awful. #BeyondTheEdge6:53 AM · Mar 17, 20222@Variety I love “reality” tv. Quite literally have never missed a show of #Survivor. This show is awful. #BeyondTheEdgeThe show was constantly compared to Survivor, which aired just before the show. They recommended having a celebrity version of Survivor, which would contain much more excitement than tackling a couple of challenges on the show.The show's cast included singers Lauren Alaina and Craig Morgan, reality TV veterans Colton Underwood and Eboni K. Williams, former star athletes Mike Singletary, Metta World Peace, and Ray Lewis, actress Jodie Sweetin and supermodel Paulina Porizkova.Fans aren't really excited about Beyond The EdgeFans were not happy with the show, while some felt it was boring, but most of the viewers compared the show to Survivor and felt that the latter was more exciting.Half an Immunity Idol@IdolHalfA 100% correct theory: #BeyondTheEdge was created to air immediately after #survivor so that if fans are complaining about the season we are immediately confronted with how much worse it could be.6:53 AM · Mar 17, 2022121A 100% correct theory: #BeyondTheEdge was created to air immediately after #survivor so that if fans are complaining about the season we are immediately confronted with how much worse it could be.Courtney 🇺🇸@CourtneyWRocketThe #BeyondTheEdge audience after this ludicrous Amazing Celebrity Survivor Race dumpster fire:7:29 AM · Mar 17, 20221The #BeyondTheEdge audience after this ludicrous Amazing Celebrity Survivor Race dumpster fire: https://t.co/M2z2OvVhyrausten@xaustenxzI wish they had to vote out eachother instead, maybe it’s just the survivor fan in me #beyondtheedge7:23 AM · Mar 17, 20222I wish they had to vote out eachother instead, maybe it’s just the survivor fan in me #beyondtheedgeJames Heath@sunshineways#BeyondTheEdge has nothing on #Survivor. @survivorcbs @CBS Great concept.

View this post on Instagram Instagram PostCelebrities were introduced to the format of the show and their first-team challenge to kickstart raising money for their charities. They were divided into two teams, Red with five players and Blue with four, headed by Jodie and Paulina.Each adventure was divided into three sections: the first stage, the trek, and the final stage. The challenge had the cast travel a mile through the jungle, open water, and swampy mud bogs.The first task was to move a crate that weighed a quarter of a ton, using wooden logs. Next, they had to take their paddles, bags, and puzzle pieces from the crate and trek to their respective mules.CBS@CBSCan these celebrities go #BeyondTheEdge? The choice is theirs. Don't miss the series premiere TONIGHT at 9/8c on CBS!10:00 AM · Mar 16, 20225114Can these celebrities go #BeyondTheEdge? The choice is theirs. Don't miss the series premiere TONIGHT at 9/8c on CBS! https://t.co/t2bZ4yRZLbOnce the mule was loaded with supplies, the celebrities had to paddle out on a lagoon, collect a scroll with a puzzle image, then slog through a deep mud bog to reach their mules. For the final stage, they had to use the image on the scroll to put the puzzle pieces together.While the teams had to choose between getting a clue and taking a direct route, the red team chose to take the clue and ended up winning the challenge.While at the Lanterns, which resembled the Tribal Council on Survivor, the only difference was that the contestants would not vote each other out but would individually decide if they wanted to stay in the game or not.If not, they would have to ring the bell and leave. The celebrities had a deep discussion on strength, courage, and religious beliefs and chose to stay back for another day.Beyond The Edge is produced by David Garfinkle, Jay Renfroe, Jay Bienstock, and Greg Goldman. With each passing episode, the money will be divided across the team that wins the challenge.By the finale, only two people will remain who will battle it out for the remaining amount. Beyond The Edge airs every Wednesday at 9.00 pm ET on CBS.
