What Is Extracted?
Having premiered its first season on Monday, February 10, and wrapped on Monday, April 21, on FOX, Extracted is a survivalist competition series featuring untrained competitors attempting to survive in the Canadian wilderness. The twist is that the contestants’ families and loved ones are watching via a live feed and can “extract” them at the push of a button.
As a background on the show explained, “Extracted begs the question: how far will [a contestant’s] loved ones let them go for a chance for their family to win $250,000?”
Amateur-Turned-Survivalist
Before joining the show, Haley’s entire experience in survival was as an amateur river guide and outdoor enthusiast. She’s been backpacking, gone on river adventures, and lived in a van for some time. She’s hiked for five months, lived in a tent, and can make a fire pretty well—along the way, she’s learned to be adaptable. So, when a new opportunity came along, the answer was clear.
“When an experience like this presents itself to me, all I can do is say ‘Yes! One million times, yes.’ I’m always open to jumping on another side quest, and I love finding new ways to push my limits,” Lindell says.
