A gamble worth taking

You already know the story: A group of people in a harsh, remote location, each harboring conflicting desires, try to make it out with their lives (if not their dignity) intact. Yep, we're talking about Alaska Oilmen: Gamble on Ice, airing tonight on Discovery. The show concerns a group of oilmen (sadly lacking Daniel Plainview accents) who venture into the Arctic Circle in search of Texas Tea. It's part of the channel's Alaska Week (which also includes Expedition Alaska, pictured), which so far has given us extra incentive to appreciate spring's return.
Oh, and Lost is back, too.
