With nine seasons behind the popular survival show, many would think someone would have bit the bullet. However, as we mentioned above, producers, cameramen, and crew are constantly surrounding the participants. Therefore, no one has ever died on the show. Though, some have come frighteningly close to death.

Manu Toigo of Season 1 was bitten by a mosquito while filming in Panama. Though she showed no symptoms until after filming wrapped, she reportedlywent back to Los Angeles and started experiencing headaches and nosebleeds. At the hospital, she was diagnosed with dengue hemorrhagic fever, in which she was hemorrhaging internally. 

Luckily, Manu was treated and has no regrets. "Hell no… most epic experience I could ever have done," she told TMZ. 

Many wonder why people would put their bodies through this type of physical and emotional stress for 21 days — as the show claims there is no monetary incentive for participants to complete the challenge. This is allegedly also not true.
