I really like Will as an Alone survivalist, but he really needs to shut up about his native people. We get it dude. You don’t have to shove it down our throats every time you turn on the camera.

Talk about your shelter, snares, hunting, camp crafts, really anything bro.

completely agree with this.
I'm sure the show runners told him to do this, and then selectively picked that to put in the episodes, so they get much of the blame as well.


Doesn't matter now as he's done.
there's only 2 episodes left with 5 people remaining. Lot of tapping out about to happen. I think both Ziga and Nero have enough food to easily last them 30+ more days, while the other 3 have slim chances at making it another 10 days.

Nero talking about Australians not being able to be one with the land because they were colonizer was the one that pissed me off. Give me a break dude.

Didn't realize this season was 15 episodes. Was wondering what was goign to happen in episode 10 with 5 people left. We lost one, and i'm glad i don't have to fast forward through her crap anymore, but I will say going 62 days out there is impressive, so cudos to Jacks for that, but she was bad television. I just couldn't watch her.

Nero seems to be the best suited to win this from a food perspective having all that beaver fat and so much fish, and that's crazy to say considering Ziga has a fricking moose.

Looks like they are all having some issues with their shelters. I'll never understand why more time isn't spent making the shelter as perfect as possible before the snow comes. I get they need to expend energy on gathering food, but they all know once they get to this point in the show, the majority of your time is spent bunkering down in your shelter, and it needs to be warm and be able to handle a heavy snow load.

It's pretty impressive there are still 4 people left 60+ days into this, and most of them have the food to keep going another 20-30 days.
I can't see Andrew lasting too much longer though. His body is giving up on him.



This has been one of the best seasons of Alone.

I actually think the game would be better if they didn’t tell the winner that they won. Make everyone tap out.

There have been atleast two contestants who could have lived their full lives out at their locations, years and years. No. It's got to end at some point.

This might be the best season yet.

Last weeks episode had some of the emotional bs that everybody hates but overall it has been a lot of hunting, bushcraft, fishing, survival, etc.

The contestants aren’t necessarily my favorite this season but as far as survival stuff, it’s one of the best seasons. And there’s a big game kill that spans over two episodes that was just epic.

Definitely worth a watch.

Didn’t realize it was 15 either. They obviously got more content with this season. I’m enjoying it.

Glad Jacks is gone but props to her, she made it out there quite a while and probably could have gone longer if her shelter didn’t suck so bad. It was so small she had to crawl in it and for some reason thought it best to make it a center fire camp. I get a small camp because it’s easier to keep warm but she needed a chimney or just do her fires outside. It was like a smokehouse in there.

I will say I probably won’t watch and say “Well why didn’t you do this or that” as much anymore because of Jacks. She is right, you don’t know how you’ll do until you get out there and some of the mistakes seem obvious on hindsight but right at the time. She said “I know I’ll be judged on the things I do but if you think you can do better then put in an application instead of sitting on the couch and prove it.” I was like DAMN! Jacks dropping truth bombs.

Hope Ziga or Ken win but just don’t know. This is a tough season to call it. If we have 5 more episodes left then at least two of them are going to be out there a long time. But according to the preview/credits someone is going home next week.

Not surprised Andrew had to bow out. He had nothing left, so kudos for him on making it as far as he did.

I'd love to know Nero's food storage situation. I think that weir he's got is going to come to an end at some point, but does he have enough beaver and fish saved up to stay out there for some time. We know Ziga has enough food. Can't believe how many hares Aaron has caught. He still needs something outside of that rabbit meat to sustain himself out there though.

Going to be a good last 3 episodes of this season.

I think Aaron definitely goes next. He may get pulled. Can't believe he's killed like 100 rabbits, but he needed more than just that lean meat. I like how they, and he, harped on him missing that moose early on, and then show him miss the squirrel. That was good storytelling for a show like this.



Ziga: "half the population prefers this hard, but i'm hoping it's soft"


Just don't see a scenario where Ziga doesn't win this.

Not gonna lie. I had to look away when he was biting into and eating the moose penis. I would’ve saved the penis as a last resort meal.

Is this the first season where zero contestants have heavily relied on fish for food? I know a few have caught fish, but fishing just hasn’t been reliable as in past seasons. Good thing for hundreds of snowshoe hare otherwise this season would’ve already ended long ago due to lack of food.

Agreed this season has been great. Doesn’t appear we are getting Alone Australia trailing this season as they have have sometimes done.
