Oh yeah, I forgot! hahaha

How do they survive? No place to farm, no water source?

Thanks!

That's it!

What is this, "Two men in, one man out"? (I think that is the quote).

Whoa FPP!!!!

Reminds me of Thunderdome.

Oooh, junkyard art. I like it!

Does Richard not realize how many Saviors there are? Daryl knows all too well.

I bet Richard tells about Carol, without realizing that she wants it kept secret.

I like that Daryl is on the "inside" quickly with Richard.

Yeah Daryl!

What is interesting about that map is the final 5 were all in a similar area and closer to each other than the others. Maybe just an illusory correlation, OR despite the starvation, they may have had better fishing in that area allowing them to stay longer. Who knows?

I have watched since season one and I have to say, this season brought up a lot of problems and issues that I had never really thought about before. The Biggest Loser was referenced several times and it is an apt comparison. (they are being sued in a class action right now regarding the weight loss techniques they were encouraged to use and the regaining many go through when they do not stick to the extreme exercise and diets). I don't think Alone is as bad as that show, however, with the info that has come out regarding the re-feeding to get them back to "normal" and all the other issues, it doesn't have the same fun as season one for me. I wish that the producers were more transparent regarding med checks and the stats so claims of producer interference can't be made.

THIS is a major point. It appears that contestants on this show should make a major push for water/food, and shelter. In that order. Obviously, with safety assured, contestants moving forward must make way more effort to stockpile food, because it is all downhill if you don't as we have heard from Fowler, Dave, and Carleigh. I really wonder if anything would have been different if Dave had eaten all of his food over the course of time. The "cool" shelters are useless if you get pulled for starvation. These guys needed to spend all free time fishing, trapping and whatever, while the weather was still warm and fish were still biting. It seems that Dave did well on his fishing in that respect.

Carol? FPP?

I wonder when they will see Morgan.

Are they going to do a commercial every 5 minutes? geez

Where you going FPP?

FPP don't be distracted!!

Here we go. I love JDM. Looks like he is having a ball playing Neegan.

Jose may not be the best example in terms of application, but he talked a lot about the desire to thrive on the land. He used those words. It was one of his main points and supposedly was the underlying factor for what he did. I think his incessant desire to catch fish speaks to the absolute importance of food to "thrive". In season 2, Mike sure looked like he was thriving, but he didn't really stay long enough for viewers to ascertain that. Even though there were boar and fox, I have to wonder why no one has had any luck. Dave may have had a real good shot a bagging a boar if he were stronger with his bow.

There were quite a few contestants that wanted to "thrive" and not just "survive", I remember Jose being one of them and he talked about that a lot. Does anyone think that they are purposely putting them in areas that have very little game? I started to wonder this specifically this season. The more game, the longer the show can go. Look at the skills many of these contestants brought to the table and other than Fowler's little bird, NO ONE trapped or shot (with a bow or sling shot) an animal of any kind. I know that we have heard bears and pumas and boar, but obviously not enough for someone to "thrive" on. basically past the 2nd week, we barely even hear mention of concerns of wild animals. Do they just go away? If someone were on their own-not on a show with rules, they would have been able to kill the deer that Carleigh saw. That would have been a lot of meat. She saw two I think. I have to wonder how the end might have gone if Dave had eaten everything and not saved anything. it would have been him and Fowler at the end (I think).

I think the show is getting better and better. I am starting to forget that I am watching "Sawyer" and "Lori". Although, when Katie ran out of the house yelling "Charlie", I had flashbacks to yelling for "Carl" when she would run around looking for him. That fact that they both start with a "C", made me chuckle.

TMI: I had to have a hysterectomy pretty early in my life (early 40s). It is actually pretty nice NOT to worry about all that stuff anymore! I can see why contestants on a show like this or TAR might do that.
