"The Jungle Curse" places Shane Lewis, 40, and Kim Shelton, 22, in the Costa Rican rain forest.

Reception
Brian Lowery of Variety found the series to be, "typical of the genre, but it's still kind of a risible kick, if only for how seriously the show takes itself."[12] Melissa Camacho of Common Sense Media, and David Hinckley of the New York Daily News, gave the show 3 out of 5 stars.[13][14] Mike Hale of The New York Times expressed skepticism that the dangers implied by the situation faced by the couples in each episode were authentic, even by the standards of reality television, observing that the couple in the series premiere appeared to be cleaner and more shaved than he'd have expected. Hale also was not impressed with the interaction between the two participants, whose personalities he found uninteresting, stating that he found the snake bite suffered by the field producer shown in the beginning of the episode to be more riveting.[15]
Cast members
Jonathan Klay, co-star of the third episode titled "Island from Hell," had previous appeared on the television show Foursome, which was aired on the Playboy Channel, where he was depicted engaging in explicit sex acts. [1]
