Yahoo Lifestyle Watch 'Extracted' Survivalists Get Sent on a Deer Hunt in Exclusive Sneak Peek
The most unique concept of Extracted, the new FOX reality series, are the elements. Not just the elements of forests of British Columbia, which these amateur survivalists have thrown themselves headfirst into for the chance at $250,000. But also the element that makes it different from every survival show that has come before it: Their two loved ones, watching their every move and trying to help in any way they can to make their experience easier.
Through two episodes, both sides of the Extracted formula have realized how extreme this game can be. The need for basic supplies are so dire that one contestant resorted to drinking unfiltered lake water. For the loved ones, they saw how much the actions they made could affect the livelihood of their survivalist. And last week, it got to the point where one family opted out, choosing to extract their survivalist at his wishes to leave the game.
An exclusive sneak peek above shows what's next for the contestants on tonight's episode of Extracted. As calories have been expended, the need for food grows and grows. And the survivalists are presented with a golden opportunity to get some much needed rations, as they are told there is deer meat available for the taking.
The issue is, however, that the deer is located at the center of a two-mile journey through rugged terrain. The only indicator to lead them to the necessary protein: A map drawn by their loved ones. The more time they take, either through navigating the forest or trying to decipher their team's drawings, the less will be available to take.

It's a true test of teamwork, trust, and cartography. But the mere prospect of what's up for grabs has some survivalists not too eager to set out.
"I'm not eating a deer," openly declares hair stylist and clown Davina. It remains to be seen if she'll shirk the hard work sister Devin and stepdaughter Tori did in giving her the map.
On the other hand, wellness coach Meagan, as she begins her trek, narrates, "I don’t eat deer. But I’m gonna f–king do it."
In order to do so, however, Meagan and the other survivalists will have to survive their trial and get to the deer in time. Whose charting skills allows their loved ones to chart their path forward by netting some food? And who will fail in their misson, left saying, "Oh, deer" at their prospects of survival?
Check out the exclusive sneak peek of tonight's episode of Extracted above. New episodes of Extracted air Monday nights at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.
