          Television Adventurer
              Les Stroud truly believes in the dictum that only the fittest
              survive. In Survivorman on Thursdays at 9 P.M. on Discovery
              Channel, Stroud ventures out all alone in the wild for seven days
              with only his wits and stamina to sustain him. No food, no
              shelter, and no fresh water — each episode finds him abandoned
              in a remote location with little more than the clothes on his back
              — and 50 pounds of camera gear. In this new season, Stroud
              travels the wilds and sets up real-world scenarios in which he
              must survive. From the frigid Arctic tundra to the unforgiving
              Australian Outback and from Papua New Guinea, to the rugged Sierra
              Nevada, he tempts fate and comes out trumps. What’s cooking In the new season of Master
              Chef, the challenges are bigger, the expectations higher and
              the competition more intense, even as Australian families try
              their hand at mastering a culinary feast fit for a king. This time
              Master Chef from Tuesdays to Thursdays at 9 pm on Star
              World travels to Australia. Thousands of budding cooks from
              around the country have applied for this second series to showcase
              their gastronomic skills. From adventures with pots and pans
              aboard a cruise ship, to time-pressure challenges with mystery
              boxes, filled with exotic ingredients, and from tasks that will
              test their culinary creativity to cooking challenges against world
              renowned chefs, this is an apprenticeship into the fiery world of
              cooking. — NF
