Spread the loveIn January 2020, BBC Two introduced a unique competition series, “Win the Wilderness: Alaska,” which quickly gathered a dedicated fanbase. Now, this extraordinary show has found a global audience as it debuted on Netflix in April. Unlike typical competitions that promise fame or fortune, this series offers participating couples the chance to completely transform their lives.
The Grand Prize: An Alaskan Wilderness Haven
“Win the Wilderness: Alaska” lives up to its name. The show follows six couples as they engage in various challenges, all with one goal in mind: winning an exceptional home nestled in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness. After six intense weeks of competition, Emily and Mark emerged as the winners, claiming their prize in the final episode on March 1st. Let’s meet all the competing couples who embarked on this ultimate adventure!
Emily and Mark: The Victorious Farmers
Hailing from Warwickshire, Emily Padfield and Mark Warner are experienced farmers with a deep affinity for the countryside. Their love story began in 2011, and since then, they’ve worked together seamlessly. You can follow Emily on Instagram @emilyfarmers, and the couple shares their journey into the Alaskan wilderness on their joint Instagram account @markandemilywinthewilderness.
Bee and Theo: The Adventurous Travelers
Bee and Theo are currently on an epic global adventure, traveling in a van. As of April 2020, they find themselves in England, although their initial plan was to reach Canada. The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily altered their travel plans. Follow their incredible journey on their joint Instagram @theindieprojects, and explore Bee’s IG @bee.roper and Theo’s @theogh.
Matt and Rachel: Childhood Sweethearts
Matt and Rachel’s love story dates back to when they were just 14 years old. These childhood sweethearts are now happily married. Matt works as an RAF engineer, while Rachel is an accountant. They’re eager to transition from their current routines to embrace life in the Alaskan wilderness. Rachel shares snapshots of her life, including moments with their German Shepherd, Baloo, on her Instagram.
Tina and Chris: Craving Similar Lives
Tina Perkins, an industrial designer aged 29, and Chris Cullen, a 30-year-old sales manager, are another dynamic duo. Their shared desire for a different kind of life brought them to the competition. They’re currently globe-trotting and documenting their travels on Instagram, where you can follow their adventures @2anootravel.
Pete and Jane: A Midwife and Retired Policeman
Pete and Jane Gough, a married couple from Devon, have long dreamt of having their own wilderness retreat. Jane, with decades of experience as a midwife, and Pete, a retired police officer, see this competition as their chance to venture beyond their comfort zone.

Jerome and Laura: Academic Adventurers
Adventure-loving academics Jerome and Laura are embarking on a remarkable journey, transitioning from the classroom to the great outdoors. Not only will they face the wilds of Alaska, but their relationship, which has only blossomed over a year, will also be put to the test. Jerome, a university lecturer, and Laura, a sustainability consultant, bring a unique dynamic to the competition.
My Final Opinion, “Win the Wilderness: Alaska” brought together an eclectic mix of couples, each seeking a life-altering adventure in the untamed wilderness. Their journeys, both as couples and as individuals, added depth and intrigue to this remarkable show. While Emily and Mark emerged as the victors, the experiences of all the participating couples will forever be etched in the Alaskan wilderness.
