Ok so I’m not the kind of person to get upset or even go to the extent of finding a forum to vent but if I don’t do this I’m going to explode.
Contestants on Alone, can you please for the love of everything holly stop using your family and loved ones as a excuse to go home!! It bothers me beyond belief that you entire a show knowing you could be gone for months at a time even a year to win the money and than turn around after days or a few months and use your family as a excuse!!! You went on this show to win money, to spend ungodly amounts of time by your self or with another person knowing full well your going to be away from your loved ones. Things get tuff, you get cold, emotionally drained, physically drained be honest with the viewers and admit you failed because things got tuff not that you need to go home to be with family, you miss your kids etc! That’s just a excuse and you know it! I respect the person who spends 1 week and fails or months and is honest with the viewers. I respect that they are upfront, “ well this place kicked my ass!”, “ I’m just to weak and hungry to go on”, “This is just to hard” etc.. You know what pisses me off? “ I just miss my family to much”, “ I missed my wife’s or sons birthday and I really just need to go home and be with them”, “ I just choose my family over the money” etc. Are you actually thinking for 1 second people believe that garbage? Again you signed up for this show to win money and be away long enough to win! Did you actually think that people were going to drop out after a month or even 2 or 3? “ I just need to be away for a few months and I will win”????????? Now I know 90% of contestants use this as an excuse to hide the fact that they just shouldn’t have even been out there in the first place or that they are to hungry or tired, or weak mentally just be honest ! No one is going to make fun of you for lasting 6 days and leaving because you got your ass handed to you by nature but I sure AF will make fun of you for waiting the viewers time and using your family as an excuse to go home. If I hear one more person use there family as a crutch or an excuse to leave I’m going to lose it! If your weak mentality please do everyone a favor and don’t go on the show and give others who don’t mind being away from loved ones for a year to win money for family and give us a good show. I myself have been gone away from my family for 6-12 months at a time not even being able to call them for work that I do and F yea I miss them like crazy but I bring home the bacon and they know dam well I am doing it for them and I don’t even get a minuscule of what they stand to win !
