>>2329052the ten item choice isnt that exciting once you know its limited to their shortlist
which then becomes a no-brainer for any serious contestant as they all bring in the same essentials bar 2-4 wildcards.
As far as i know they get all that information before picking gear.
The real cheatcode in the show is that they get to pick food as one of their items. And the producers do their best to avoid mentioning that on certain edits. If you wanted to get bragging points for lasting longer than the early quitters, you can just stack 2 food packs and neetmax on rations for a few weeks.
