Quoted:
Not Mike, dammit. Never thought Larry would outlast Mike and Randy both. Mike said on his facebook page that the editors did a good job of making his departuer seem like a surprise to some... He said his goal was to represent camping & survival skills, and bush crafting as something so awesome and fun that it would motivate many other people into getting off the couch, and get out into nature to try doing these things for themselves. He believed he had accomplished that goal, and went home to Barbara. Yeah, I think his OCD / attachment issues may have influenced things as well, but that's life. Does nobody on this show have the goal of staying the longest and winning the money? That makes them sound crass. |

My money is on Jose domesticating it and turning it into a pet.

Quoted:
Just caught up. I loved seeing the Barbara guy's camp and how well situated he was. It's a shame about him. I also enjoyed Jose's bit, as usual. But the hippie guy... I thought he'd be the one to pull it off and on one level, I'm sorry to see him go because I enjoy watching the bushcraft elements the show provides, but the editors did the viewers no favors by spending so much of the past few episodes on his existential whining. That indian chant...  Boulder Ut, is one of those amazing places on this planet that I've been blessed to discover and spend time around. I knew going in that Randy's skill set in that area wouldn't translate well to the PNW but I hoped he would have done better. Hippies are fragile things. If Mike didn't have all those past demons he would have had a functioning internet built in a year. He was fun to watch. I hope he heals at some point in his life. There is a humility that spending large amounts of time in the wilderness teaches. Jose has it. Larry is just angry enough to tell the whole world (including Vancouver Island) FUCKYOU! Nicole.....ditto Jose but more fragile. She will leave due to medical. Dave literally doesn't have any other choices and there is an angry ex wife back home so he might just stay put. And why in the world is .Mil guy expending calories climbing mountains and not rebuilding? Symbolism over Substance and it will cost him the game. I'm wondering now who it is that gets to fight off that wolf? ETA: I'm remembering that you don't have to live there a year to win.....you just have to outlast everyone else. 
My money is on Jose domesticating it and turning it into a pet.
Plot Twist: Jose is the wolf. |

given the time of insertion into the area and the biggest set back being restricted to a certain area, the whole 365 day possibility is total bullshit. No "contestant" will ever have to go longer than 60 days to win this show.
500,000 / 60 days = 8k+ a day - my wife will gladly miss me for that type of overtime. The guy from utah blew it as an instructor this could have been a commercial for his school and he displayed a complete lack of inner strength. I can see why tribes used to send individuals into the woods by them self when coming of age, it's a good test. |

He doesn't want to tap out, per se, he wants to be forced out, i.e. "rescued." Kinda like Mary Kate. While I don't think she cut herself on purpose and planned on staying much longer, I have a feeling she had an exit plan. That said, I like Justin. He seems like a hell of a guy to hang out with. All of them do, frankly. I didn't get that impression last season. |

One thing I thought of last episode is that they have probably shown a total of 5min of Jose through the entire season, while they've dedicated nearly full episodes to some contestants. Even when he's building his boat, he doesn't get much time. To me, this says they are going to dedicate the entire last episode to him.

No shortage of shell fish in his area. Marry has to rely on fishing. Justin also had a good spot, but he got a wild hair. something I noticed last episode. Gulls have a habbit of sunning on narrow sand bars along the coast.If someone could figure out which bars gulls like to sun on and rig up a net just right, they would be able to catch a lot of birds. |

Everyone wants to think they have the grit but that ain't the way it is. I'm willing to admit I probably don't. I'd be fine for a while but.... I'm not sure I could hack 3 or 4 months voluntarily for only half a mil. I've been close enough to know that's a long fucking time with yourself. |

Justin does leave with rope. It's slung on like a backpack.
We already know Jose ends up in the drink. Shows it at beginning of every show. Ridgerunner... they must be showing a different opening where you are watching it because they don't show a map on TV. There is a quick shot zooming into Vancouver Island. Kinda satellite looking shot. Nothing designating anyone's location. |

Jose is just a mild-mannered, soft-spoken, boring, hippie ponytail dude. Not too exciting. Mike was clearly insane from having spent too much time on his own during his formative years. That's what made him interesting and therefore marketable as a reality show contestant. Their survival skills are about even, but who makes a better TV show? Same thing with Larry getting pissed off and cursing a blue streak through the wilderness. He knows enough to survive but he's mainly there because his tantrums can make people tune in. As long as Jose can recover from dumping his canoe, he'll win. |

"We said that the point was that even with the highest personal development and liberation, the person comes up against the real despair of the human condition. Indeed, because of that development his eyes are opened to the reality of things; there is no turning back to the comforts of a secure and armored [unconcious] life. The person is stuck with the full problem of himself, and yet he cannot rely on himself to make any sense out of it. For such a person, as Camus said, "the weight of days is dreadful."

That's only one side of the coin. It more or less comes down to how one reacts to life. One can be a pessimist or an optimist. A realist can be either of those because they are how the realist reacts and perceives that which is real. So, you can see that life isn't easy, bad things will happen, life will end, you'll make mistakes and have regrets, good things will happen but won't last forever. etc etc. You can accept that reality and be glad and happy for the opportunity. Or you can accept that reality and feel sorry for yourself and your condition. You're driving down the road and your metaphorical car breaks down. Do you sit on the side of the road cussing the car and feeling sorry for yourself because of your predicament? Or do you hop out, grab your stuff and be thankful that the car got you this far and you have that much less of a distance to walk? How we react ( and reaction becomes a habit as we see with the comparison between Larry and Jose) has much more to do with how we experience life than what actually happens. |

What kind of jacket does David have on? I'd be more interested in that outfit Larry wears. Looks all out of proportion and homemade. |

Jose keeps talking about missing salmon run. Is he planning on eating good for a few or does he have some plan on preserving a ton of fish to get through winter?
On the other side we have Nichole turning fish loose.  She could have dug the freezer like the other guy back at the beginning.
The other 3 are starving. They are going to hate Nicole when this is over.

Hello Mr. Salmon, I know you were heading upstream and pretty much killed yourself in the net, now finish your long journey out at sea. |

Nicole actually looks like she is putting on weight.
Beginning to wonder if the show hand picked her (Masters in Marine Biology or something like that AND knows every single plant and bush in the NW) and her spot to win this game. She is starting to come off like a Ringer.

Last night was the first time I started having doubts about Jose winning it all. Maybe it's just the selective editing, but his fixation on the "salmon run" is getting concerning. Nicole is entertaining, but either crazy or stupid. When the snow comes and her plants are buried, things are going to look mighty different for her. David is doing this for all the wrong reasons, but sometimes that's enough to keep you putting one foot in front of the other. If he doesn't starve. |

Nicole: Oh My Gawd, is my ass getting fat from all this feasting on fish. I am glad I brought a skillet the size of a trashcan lid.  (a little sarcasm but that is the impression I get).
Justin bushwhacking a 1300 feet elevation gain is no easy task. I called Larry as the winner way back in the thread, some of the others seemed too obvious, after one episode I thought that is not going to happen, he is still there so I am holding out hope more for my prediction. Sorry to see Mike go, I like him and Jose for their skills in the wilderness. |

Larry will beat the show into submission.
I figure Dave or Justin (both) will leave next. I honestly thought Justin was going to do his last ditch climb and be done, which is what he planned apparently, but he decided to stay. Jose might be too gentile of a soul to stay very long, but he's also VERY patient. |

I posted a thread about the season opener last week, where they showed the selection process and the training they went through. Alan was the narrator. Nobody cared.
Me? I love the show. 
ETA: you're right about this years crop though. Looks like a bunch of idiots. It's the drama that sells the show. If it was a bunch of experts, no one would watch. The History channel is just another re branded MTV/TMC House wives channel for men.
