Yeah that quick tap out was pretty weak. Splint that bitch up and press on at least until your brother gets there.

I would have been pissed at my brother for tapping that quickly. I might have killed him if he waited to tap until I completed a 10 mile hike through bear country only to have to go home.

Not to mention the cliffhanger ending where we could be down to half the field within four days

You could see the utter disappointment in the dad's face after he was so excited that his son "was becoming a man before his very eyes." Then 5 minutes after he says that the chopper shows up. When he found out he wasn't hurt he was relieved but he also had that look like, boy you are going to feel like such a pussy when you look back on this.

I hope the remaining half of the field gives us some entertainment.

This hiking portion of the show seems pretty miserable for the participants. Those 11 miles may as well be a 100 on flat ground.

I haven't watched season four yet. Watching season 2 currently - and speaking of early tap outs, how about the black dude that taps out before the end of the first night!! What a giant pansy.

Even so, they all KNEW this going in. They spent weeks in professional training & evaluation WITH each other (watch the pre-season episode if you haven't already). These mental weakness tap outs ate truly disappointing.

I'm at the point where I want to see some Naked & Affraid finishers get on a future seaon of Alone.

Yeah dude jacked himself up. At least he had footage that showed his struggle & decision process to stay or tap.

Welp its over, eh. Congrats to the Canadians. Probably the weakest season. Hopefully they come back strong next year or i might be done.

I called the Canadians on day one. Man, the dad in the runner up pair was looking rough by the end. Might have done some real damage to himself. Pretty sure the husband from Arkansas could have still been out there.

It looked to me that not a single person set a trap or tried to hunt. It was 100% fishing, crabbing or scavenging. I understand the risk reward but would be setting trap after trap from like day 3 on.

I didn't like the hiking part but I did like the pairs after thinking that I wouldn't.

Finished binging. Brooke and Dave were the only reason I made it to episode 8, I basically fast forwarded though the last 2 episodes just to see what made the next guys quit.

Ted & Jim were annoying and not entertaining at all.

Not a single mouse eaten or trap set. Did PETA influence this crap? It wasn't even mentioned as a thought by anyone. I'm thinking there had to be outside influence.

I had the same thought but didn't one or two of the early tappers have bows?
