It's not as exciting as it look: you spend a lot of time waiting. And then working in difficult conditions. Then waiting. Then something fail and you look for a hack. Then you work. And you wait. And you come back. I did get into serious trouble once or twice, but over two decades, the average netflix factor is pretty low. Corruption and nature owning you is surprising the first few times, but after the 50th occurrence, it's just the new normal. So you'd have to make some talented editing.

That's normal for reality shows. Cooking shows? You spend a lot of time waiting, who wants to sit and watch a pie bake for an hour? Ever seen those "how it's made" shows? Editing can make anything interesting. I'd watch the heck out of a techie version of Survivor (early years).

yeah. not worried about the waiting part. that can be edited out. also, the adversarial element would make for some good drama. failing and looking like a hack is what would make the show insanely popular. the only challenge I see is that people might think it's scripted and/or would not have the depth of knowledge to understand why something is happening. both of them can be addressed (so what if people think it's scripted - remember man vs wild? + you could introduce a few "expert" commentators that dumb it down and explain things to the peasants while the action is going on)
