re: ALONE S10 Season Discussion Thread

I thought this last episode was the finale but I guess they’re doing 11 episodes. Wyatt definitely looking in the best shape right now. Hope he wins.

Just started the Australia one. This Beck chick has been there an hour and is scared to death. She’s about to be gone ASAP.

This Australian terrain is brutal. Yeesh.

Doesn’t Mikey have four other kids? They must be at home like, “what the hell dad?”

I watched the first few minutes of when they cut to Mikey in the last episode, and he mentioned his son, his wife, and the "other kids." It's really F'ed up. I would imagine I'd be ticked off if I found out just how little my dad regarded me and my siblings on a reality TV show.

But yea, just skipped every scene with him for the rest of the episode. I already was annoyed with him when he got lost on day one, and all of his scenes are a waste of time. I hope he taps out next.

Wyatt was my favorite. Would’ve liked Mikey better if not for all his whining.

Alan was the dark horse. I think he must’ve caught a ton of fish. Would’ve interesting to see his stockpile.

Overall, season was a disappointment for me.

Did not see Wyatt tapping out.
I hate the editing of this show, and i hate that they don't show you everythign they've caught and eaten.

Good for Alan though. Can't say he didn't deserve the win.



Something i've been enjoying lately, and evidently i'm late to the party on, is Clay Hayes has a youtube channel where he redoes a bunch of the stuff he did on Alone and explains a lot of stuff. Wish they all would do something like that. I thought it was great just to see why he chose the 10 items he chose. Hell they could do an entire episode after the show ends where they get them all together and talk about stuff like that. Could have 2-3 episodes worth where they all talk about their 10 items, their shelter, and just the experience, and do it after the edited show airs so they can say things that weren't in the show.

sucks for Mikey. He's probably one of the least liked contestants that's made it that far. and he's probably a pretty cool dude to talk to and it would probably be awesome to talk to him about his experience.


the history channel is so interested in trying to create drama and create more to the show and have this suspense, when it's core audience really just wants to watch the survival aspect of the show. That's the entertainment.
My favorite part of this episode was hearing Alan talk about the owl and fishing in the silence every evening, as well as seeing Wyatt enjoy the sunrise before tapping. I don't mind hearing about how being out there changed them. I know it does. I feel different every single time i come back from being out in the woods in CO hunting in the backcountry. The only people i see for a week are my two buddies i go with and i enjoy the hell out of some silence.

Is this going to morph into Alone Australia because they are dropping like flies. 3 gone by day 2

Yeah I’m not watching that crap

I'm happy for Alan. Was probably rooting for Wyatt the most but definitely liked Alan and he was one of the better contestants she show has ever had imo, despite it being a weak season overall. Dude was incredibly mentally tough. Great survivalist but he had a pretty impressive ability to block out wanting to be back home with his family. Which was probably tough to do because it seemed like him and his wife were a pretty good couple. He was more happy about seeing her than he was winning.

Wyatt surprisingly went downhill mentally pretty quick. He still had a food store. He was just kind of like "eh, I'm tired, time to go home." Not being able to catch anything in the gil net ice fishing probably frustrated him too.

Joined an Alone FB group because I wanted to post and see what most peoples opinions on Mikey were. My post got denied because it wasn't positive enough. There was a go fun me set up for him and his kid, 43K raised so far.

I think of all the places they have been, Australia looks the hardest. That place is brutal. It's like living in a swamp. No good fishing or hunting and the terrain is super thick/hard to walk in and find a good shelter. Hard pass on that. I can't see anybody staying over 50 days. The chick that tapped looked terrified the moment she got there. She was like "I think this is where I'd set up my shelter" and tree limbs were just falling all around her

They got dropped off in a real shitty place.

The terrain looks tough AF. Even trying to build shelter under the trees, the fricking branches are constantly randomly dropping like widow makers. The lady who went out there without a sleeping bag

It seems like every reality show under the sun does a reunion. This would be the perfect show for one. It seems like it would be pretty easy and cheap, so I just don't understand why they don't.

I feel like they did one season. it wasn't all 10 of them but it was most. They sat around and interviewed them. I want to say it was the season where Callie(?) got frostbite on her toes.
