Option 1:

 "This was a really stupid plan" Darby Reznor says to the camera as he lights a fire in the middle of the wilderness. the coaching staff of the Maine Timber had wanted to have a competition amoung the players that is like Survivor, so he and the rest of them had been escorted to the deep wilderness, split into two tribes, and told to survive through various challenges. One of the challenges has been figuring out how to start and keep a fire up for an hour, and it has been the one that Darby has struggled with for a few minutes, making his tribe annoyed with him.

 It wasn't until he remembered something he watched when he used to watch survival shows, and he used the fiction of rubbing two sticks together and rubbing the prongs of a 9 volt battery he found amoung their supplies to finally light a fire. Unfortunately, the other tribe had already lit a fire way before that, and Darby was eliminated in the next tribal vote. Not that he honestly cared, he just wanted to get away from the cold.
