Wellness reality shows have been gaining popularity in recent years, offering a refreshing alternative to the usual drama-filled reality TV. TBS has joined the wellness reality show bandwagon with its new series, Lost Resort. The show follows nine strangers as they embark on a spiritual retreat on a picturesque island, seeking healing and self-improvement. While there’s no shortage of drama, viewers can also pick up some valuable healing tips along the way. Here are 10 things you didn’t know about TBS’s Lost Resort.
1. A Seasoned Healer Leads the Retreat
A common concern with wellness reality shows is the credibility of the experts involved. In Lost Resort, retreat leader Chrissie Fire Mane is a seasoned healer with 20 years of experience under her belt, ensuring that participants are in capable hands.
2. Filmed in the Serene Costa Rican Landscape
The show’s captivating setting is one of its major draws. Filmed at the Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort in Nosara, Costa Rica, the location provides a tranquil backdrop for healing. However, it’s important to remember that true healing comes from the work being done, not just the location. Thankfully, the show was filmed before the COVID pandemic.
3. A Full Season of 10 Episodes
Many shows released during the pandemic have had shorter seasons, leaving viewers craving more content. Fortunately, Lost Resort offers a full 10-episode season to keep viewers entertained.
4. Diverse Reasons for Attending the Retreat
Unlike other wellness reality shows that focus on a single issue, Lost Resort features participants with various reasons for attending the retreat. From dealing with past trauma to mending failing relationships, the show offers a diverse range of healing journeys.
5. Created by The Real Housewives Producers
Despite being vastly different from the Real Housewives franchise, Lost Resort shares a common thread: it was produced by the same team behind Real Housewives of New Jersey.
6. Announced in January, Long in the Making
Creating a TV show is no easy feat, often taking years to go from concept to reality. While the exact timeline for Lost Resort is unclear, the show was announced in January when TBS greenlit the project.
7. Expect Some Laughs Along the Way
Reality TV often serves as an escape from daily life, and even serious shows need a touch of humor. While not a comedy, Lost Resort promises to deliver some light-hearted, comedic moments.
8. Authentic Rituals and Ceremonies
Lost Resort goes beyond mere entertainment, incorporating real rituals and ceremonies commonly used in spiritual retreats. For instance, the Rage Ritual allows participants to release pent-up anger and frustration.
9. A Team of Skilled Healers
Chrissie Fire Mane isn’t the only experienced healer on the show. Four other healers, each with their unique perspective and skillset, join her in guiding the participants on their healing journeys.
10. Participants Hail from Across the Country
In addition to their diverse reasons for attending the retreat, participants come from various parts of the country, from the Midwest to the West Coast. This diversity not only enriches the experience but also sets the stage for potential disagreements and drama.
