Forget Anthony, Extracted’s REAL Villain is Austin

Quote

But here’s the thing; without Anthony, there throwing temper tantrums and giving Gen-Z a bad name, it allows the spotlight to focus squarely on Extracted’s most problematic contestant thus far, freaking Austin.
*  *  *
And everything Extracted has shown about Austin thus far screams that he is a walking red flag to the point of sounding off all the alarms.
*  *  *
It was already disconcerting when we heard Ashley admit she was on the series and wanted to participate in this Hunger Games-level torture show to prove that she could hack it with Austin and his hardcore, outdoorsy family.

The implication in what she was saying was that she somehow wasn’t already worthy of them and felt she needed to go above and beyond in something that aligned with their interest to prove her worth.
*  *  *
He behaves like Ashley’s struggles in the field are an embarrassing reflection on him, and he must subsequently punish her for not getting things right.
*  *  *
From what we’re seeing, Austin lacks basic empathy. If he can’t even exude some compassion toward his future wife when they’re under stress, where do they go from there?
*  *  *
It was particularly abhorrent as he arrogantly passed up two methods of securing her fire, which she desperately needed and requested.
*  *  *
Somehow, an entire room of strangers and competitors are heartbroken and supporting her more than her fiance. Instead, he threw a tantrum, embarrassed that she couldn’t maintain the fire.

-- Austin (then fiancé, now husband): "Ashley - she definitely proved herself out there. You know, I had that tough love, um, maybe not so sympathetic. But I got her back, no matter what."

-- Austin: "The emotional rollercoaster she put me through during this, I mean, it just solidified that that girl is - she's mine forever. And I'm going to protect her forever."

-- Austin: "I thought she did phenomenal. We're married now."

-- Scott (father-in-law): "She suffered a lot. She did wonderful, though. We're so proud of her."

-- Ashley said that she planned to take her husband and father-in-law back to the location where she was left on the show and put them through everything she went through.

"I Always Knew I Was Tough." The Taylor Family Breaks Down Their 'Extracted' Rollercoaster Ride

... Viewers were shocked by how callously the man spoke about his wife-to-be, constantly critiquing her survival techniques and even refusing to secure her vital resources like a firestarter. It got to the point that even his no-nonsense father had to reel him in as Ashley's time in the forest became more and more dire. Finally, the pair decided to respond to her pleas and extract her to safety, with Scott and Ashley sitting down with Collider and breaking down not only that emotional moment but the rollercoaster ride that was their time on Extracted.
*  *  *
Collider: Out of the three of y’all, what made everyone decide to send Ashley out into the wilderness?

Scott: I’ll let Ashley answer that (laughing) because that’s all on Austin.

Ashley: So Austin applied, and we found out because Austin said, “Hey, we're going to be on a TV show. I'm going to be in the wild, and you and my dad are going to be at headquarters as my family lifeline.” I was like, awesome. I love that, I will go and support you. And then the first interview comes, and they were like, “Hey, Austin, you are over-qualified! It's gonna have to be the most vulnerable person on your team.” And I was like, oh, wait…that's me!"

Scott: I thought, “This will be great TV, right here!” You know, we did as much as we can to train her up on the necessities of staying out there…everything we could cram in two months.

Collider: Funnily enough, when we see headquarters, Austin is the one whose more intent on making Ashley stay and go through all the harsh wilderness, and Scott you were the one to reel him in. Are you often the most compassionate member of the family?
....
Ashley: I'm just gonna say, Scott is the king of tough love, but he has a really soft spot in his heart for me. He's very protective of me, so I'm thankful and I love that.

Scott: I'm a pretty no-nonsense person, you know, and that's how I raised Austin, but when he started showing some of that, I [had to tell him] in HQ, “Hey, you're not out there, Ashley's out there. It's totally different. So have a little bit of compassion and keep your mouth shut.”

Ashley: He was looking at it more like him being out there, and what he would say to himself — and that kind of made me want to kick him in the shins a little bit!
*  *  *
Collider: You actually touched on one of the most contentious moments of the season: fire. What did y’all think of the moment when Austin agreed to not get Ashley more fire-making materials because, in his words, he didn’t want you to get “complacent.”

Scott: I called him a dumbass! But, you know, he explained it: He sent the toilet paper for her [as kindling for a] firestarter. We didn’t realize how wet it was…her campground was just saturated through everything. So it’s really difficult to get anything going if you’re not knowledgable on how to start a fire with wet stuff.

Ashley: It is what it is. I didn't think to use the toilet paper, I was just thinking [of it as] luxury. I do wish that I had the propane stove, and Austin said he regrets not sending it. But he told me he was also thinking about it strategically: he was going to do a favor for Ryan's family while sending me the toilet paper, and I could light that on fire, and then maybe they would owe him later on in the game. I see it from both points, but I was, like, super bummed after that.

 The way she makes excuses for him is ridiculous. Even his father could see how bad he was acting towards her & needed to reel him in more than once.
