The show 7 vs. Wild regularly receives accusations of fakery. Fans suspect that not everything is above board in the survival format.
These are the fake allegations against 7 vs. Wild
Fritz Meinecke created the reality show 7 vs. Wild. In this show, seven participants have to survive in the wilderness – they only have very special, previously selected items at their disposal. Although the show is very popular, there are regular suspicions that some things are fake behind the scenes.
- Which items the participants take with them into the wilderness is specified in advance and strictly checked. Nevertheless, YouTuber CommanderKrieger suspected that Sascha Huber from the second season used unauthorized aids.
- Fitness influencer Huber is said to have had alleged swimming fins at the start in order to manage the journey from the sea to the mainland at 7 vs. Wild.
- Viewers also regularly question whether the candidates are really on their own. They believe that there might actually be rangers who help out on the survival show.
- It was also unpleasant to note that the GPS device, which is worn for emergency purposes, shows the time. Participants in the program had complained about a lack of sense of time.
- There were also allegations of fakery in the third season: the participants were left very close to civilization and had to hand over memory cards from cameras at regular intervals. This reduced the effect of loneliness in the wilderness.

This is how the makers and participants of 7 vs. Wild react to fake allegations
There is no script for 7 vs. Wild. Reality formats only work if the camera captures reality. But of course an extreme situation like this in the show needs the right conditions.
- Sascha Huber, participant in the second season, emphasizes that everything about the show is real: “In 7 vs. Wild Season 2, at least in everything I've seen (…), I promise you from the bottom of my heart, there isn't a single fake in it,” ingame.de quotes the influencer as saying.
- He did not wear flippers, but his normal shoes, which have yellow soles. The way the light refracts in the water made them look like flippers.
- 7 vs. Wild inventor Fritz Meinecke emphasizes that some technical things, such as the time on the GPS device, cannot be changed, but he reacts to accusations of fakery with humor and irony.
- It's safe to say that the 7 vs. Wild series does everything it can to create an authentic survival experience, but this is sometimes limited due to safety, cost, or production reasons.
- However, you shouldn't call the series 7 vs. Wild fake, because what was filmed was unplanned and real.
