Alone Australia: Two contestants quit brutal survival series in tears trends now
Alone Australia, which has been billed as the most brutal and authentic reality series in history, launched on SBS on Wednesday night.
And the two-part premiere didn't disappoint, with two contestants calling it quits after the first day after failing to withstand the Tasmanian wilderness.
The series sees 10 survivalists dropped in the middle of the bush, where they must outlast their competition for the chance to win $250,000.
They're completely alone and must film themselves with their own equipment.
Wednesday's premiere saw two of the show's three First Nations contestants leave in tears due to the harsh environmental conditions and mental strain.

Environmental manager Rob, 41, was the first to go following a stressful first night on the freezing west coast of Tasmania.
The father-of-two woke up after a night of heavy rain to discover that all his firewood had been soaked and his tent had pooled water on the roof, which threatened to take his shelter down.
'All the wood outside is soaked,' he said. 'I've got no chance of recovering that fire, which is a bummer.
'Which means I can't stay warm. It was cold last night for sure. It was freezing cold. I've never felt cold like that before.'

Rob referenced his First Nations elders, and said that Mother Earth would have been telling his ancestors that mid-winter was a bad time to be out in the area.
