An hour and a half later, a helicopter from the production team came to pick up Ken, who had given up on the challenge.
In the end, only three challengers remained: Lin Yang, contestant number six, the Indian lady, and contestant number eight, the black guy, Claude.
Contestant number six, the Indian lady, was a botanist. She also started off with a bit of difficulty. For the first week, she nearly survived solely on various lichens and plant roots. With the audience's reminders during the live broadcast, she tried her hand at net fishing. During that period, the catch from the nets was decent, and gradually, her days began to stabilize.
However, at this critical juncture of the challenge, the ice was over thirty centimeters thick. The simple fishing nets were no longer practical, and now, contestant number six also had only three fish left in her food reserves, putting her in not too great a situation either.
