I love the show, but dropping nine people in the forest and one at Golden Corral is kinda disappointing. I do hope the producers weren't stacking the deck to try and influence the outcome.

View Quote Except this "Golden Corral" as you called it, has a resident family of black bears living nearby. Fear of bears has caused at least 1 person to tap out before. How long before those bears get inquisitive enough to visit her campsite will remain to be seen. I'm rooting for her. |

View Quote Most any of the other contestants would have either quit or shit their pants at the thought of having neighborly bears that close. We already know for 100% certain that at least one of them has gone home for this reason. We also know that Nicole picked the correct net and had the knowledge to know where to put it. She has shown that she could survive on other food sources as well. If packing the deck includes bears, sure, the deck was packed. |

I thought that Justin's rendition of the National Anthem was pretty damned good, especially in light of the recent viral video from the Capital.
I wonder if the recent dropouts were second-guessing their reason to tap out once they returned to the staging area and found out that Nicole was still in the contest? I'd be interested to see if that is addressed in the wrap-up episode. |

Only this time' it's being beat by the only small woman on the show when you know you didn't give 100%. It's just an obsevation about perception, not reality. Nicole may end up beating them all. |

I've been hoping Mother Fucking Larry stumbles into Nicole's camp. The show needs some comedy.

I was a fan of the last series "Alone" on the History channel. The man who won deserved it in spades. Alan was a Woodsman's woodsman. My hat's off to him. The current crop for Alone, Season 2 looks...not so good. That's just going on a cursory examination of their dossier, but moreso their choice of 10 items. I gather and assume that there are a few things that are not counted against them on their 10 items. A tarp being chief among them. A pack, is obvious. Camera gear goes without saying, according to the necessities of the style of production. (they self film). There are 2.5 women. No, 3 but one sure appears to be a switch hitter. Has a nice fat reserve built up and is familiar with flannel. Flying by the seat of my pants, only 3 have chosen a tarp as one of their choices. More than one have chosen 2 "emergency rations". IMHO, if you cant feed yourself, you've already lost. I guess the strategy could be that you'd outlast the others on that modest amount of extra food. One female AK native chose pemmican which looked to be substantial. It would be a tempting choice to have a week's worth of food. One fellow had the ubiquitous knife, axe, saw, but added a "multi function wood working tool"....WTF is that? I will never understand choosing a folding or bow saw when presented the choice of a saw. A real x cut is the only choice. Even a knife is suspect, when given the environment. A properly chosen axe can take care of most tasks. A flint chip in a wooden handle more than takes care of the detail work. I was really hoping the last season would attract people who knew their shit. I think I'll be disappointed with this season if for no other reason than the contestants had a previous season to learn from and it certainly appears from their choices that they didn't. I hope I'm wrong. Looks like they offer a contest where you pick the succession of drop outs. Maybe I'll print out a spread sheet and made some guesses. List of contestants/gear View Quote This sounds like an interesting show. Can I get episodes on youtube or amazon prime? |

I would be happy if it did. They have had the huge benefit of starting earlier in the season. And I think that affects a lot more than just food and ease of survival. Being in the rain and gloom, trapped in your shelter will speed up the process of the psychological game. Being in the sun, having food and the ability to remain busy makes being alone (as well as just the making a living part) much more tolerable. That is not to take away one smidge of the skill and knowledge displayed by these competitors. |

Winter is Coming! They have been on vacation compared to the weather in Season One. I wonder if that was an intentional decision to start earlier or just luck. I think it would be a two edged sword. You increase the chance of a much longer season (with increasing costs, necessarily) but you gain a lot more "happy" footage and dispense with a lot of the "I'm stuck in this miserable, rainy, tent, Oh woe is me" footage. A similar thing evolved in the early Survivor seasons. They realized that watching 16 people starve and dehydrate to death was much less entertaining than a group with at least minimal food and water enough to keep them mentally engaged. |

I just get this vibe that Larry views his life as so miserable he will stay in this for the money to change it unless he starts fearing death then he'll tap.
Nicole seems to be up against a wall now. Jose may be approaching starvation based on the next week clip. |

Evidently I was wrong about seal being bad to eat. Did a little research and apparently it's very lean and delicious.
Seal hunting is very controlled, though, so I'm not sure if Nicole would have the OK to harvest one. That would be very frustrating to have a predator taking your food and not be allowed to do anything about it. |

The editing must be way out of wack. Timeline wise. Everytime they show David it is dark, dreary, wet, and cold. Nicole's camp is, most of the time, sunny and spring looking. Sure doesn't look like they are only a few miles apart at exactly the same day and time.
I caught some bad editing in the last episode. The "scene" where Nicole was moving her net. Every other shot she was wearing leg gators, the others just her boots. Definitely mixing separate occasions. |

David makes too many dumb mistakes.
He threw his heavy line in the water then instead of trying to fish it out with his fishing pole which was right there, he decided to climb down to the waters edge even though the line was out of his reach. Then he slipped in. If I couldn't snag it with the fishing pole I would of stripped down to my underwear and went in the water after it. Even if it was 50 degree water I would of been out in a minute, had dry clothes waiting there for me, and I would of saved the heavy line. |
