Rival Survival: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

At a time when partisanship in U.S. politics litters the media landscape, Discovery Channel's Rival Survival brings together two real world political adversaries and maroons them on a remote island for a week. Disconnected from the world on an uninhabited island surrounded by shark infested waters that mirror the seemingly treacherous terrain of the U.S. Congress, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) must put their political differences aside and work together for six days and six nights to find common ground through compromise if they want to survive in Rival Survival.
