澳大利亚版生存竞技节目《Alone》在芬兰北部萨米地区的录制期间发生了一起危机。参赛者Arash在第26天失踪，丢弃了GPS追踪器和应急电话，这一事件令制作团队陷入紧急状态[1]。约15至20名制作人员耗时6至7小时才找到他[1]。
Arash随后在采访中解释了他的行为，称自己的童年经历影响了他的判断。他表示："我在战争区长大，无证件穿越七个国家，在大海中失踪过，在丛林中睡过觉，我认为这些经历激发了我最擅长的生存模式。"[1]
节目执行制片人Riima Daher对这一突发状况的罕见性感到震惊，指出"这在全球范围内尚无先例，这就是为什么恐慌水平如此之高。"[1] 由于此事件构成严重违规和安全隐患，制作方最终决定将Arash撤出竞赛[1]。该节目的总奖金为25万美元，比赛地点位于栖息着熊、狼和驯鹿的芬兰北部萨米地区[1]。
A contestant on the Australian version of survival competition show Alone vanished on day 26 of filming in the Sami region of northern Finland, triggering an unprecedented emergency response that left producers shaken.[1] Arash abandoned his GPS tracker and emergency phone while competing in the remote area, which is home to bears, wolves, and reindeer.[1] A search and rescue team of approximately 15–20 people spent 6–7 hours locating him.[1]
During a subsequent interview, Arash explained his actions by referencing his harrowing past.[1] "I grew up in a war zone. I crossed seven countries with no documents. I've been lost in the sea, slept in the jungle, and I think this experience activated a survival mode that I know the best," he stated.[1] Despite his account, producers made the decision to remove him from the competition, deeming his actions a serious breach of protocol and a safety hazard.[1] Executive producer Riima Daher underscored the gravity of the situation, saying: "It was a world first, which is why the panic levels were so high. There was no precedent."[1] The show's prize pool stands at $250,000.[1]
