Alone

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

That was definitely the best episode so far, hopefully it continues. 

[Buzzrock 14901]

Shooting that buck was huge, hope he can hang onto the meat. Not cold enough yet for the Arctic meat freezer.

35 is cold enough to hold until he can smoke it. Would be nice to have a frozen whole quarter for reserve.

[Buzzrock 14901]

This is the ultimate background tv show. Not much really happens so you can just glance up when something does.

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

^ Finally watched this week’s, you ain’t fucking lying. Boring as shit again. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Honey, maybe get that fire inside like the rest of ‘em next time. 
 

WAY too much Biko camera time. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Well, that was 90 minutes of my like I’ll never get back. 

They should rename this season to Biko & the three dwarfs since he gets 70% of the time. 

[RPM 26315]

Gill nets look like they mostly suck.

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Sweet jesus, this shit-ass season is over. 

Don’t they normally fly a relative out to the winner? 

[kevwun 15757]

Yeah, I'm guessing because of the rona they didn't.  Based on the number of the days the winner said he was away from his family, they made them quarantine before the show started.  That was by far the worst season ever.  I hope they never do another starvation island.

[Scraps 13560]

I bailed like 6 weeks ago and finally just FF through the last couple episodes to see how they finished.

I was close with my Biko pick on episode 1 lol, but no cigar

[Jerry Callo 8694]

I've only watched Season 7 - which ended up with three badasses at the end.  Any seasons worth going back to watch or just watch Season 8?

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

If season 8 was this one, fuck no. 

[kevwun 15757]

Yeah, I would watch every other season before the last one.

[futureman 22439]

after Biko made a comment about our-starving people and some guy named Sam I read about season 5 and it says Sam won. he was the annoying young guy from season 1. and I looked at his 10 items and he took TWO food rations. and apparently just came in fat and out starved people. who watched that season and is it good? it’s one of a couple I haven’t watched.

I’m watching season 7. the million bucks for 100 days in the arctic. seems pretty good three episodes in. lots of fish, some porcupines, good shelters. how does it stack up vs other seasons?

[futureman 22439]

season 7 is the best.

Spoiler

Roland is the best of anyone who’s been on the show. great season. 

 

[kevwun 15757]

Yeah, season 7 was my favorite.  Him stabbing a musk ox was on of the craziest things I’ve seen on tv.

[RPM 26315]

New season starts Thursday.

I hope it’s better than last season which was basically a study in starvation where folks when or lose based on their ability to shirk off the medical folks.

However this is to be the toughest yet as they are in far north Labrador fighting polar bears and snow.

I like the initial parts best as they build, forage, and hunt. Once winter sets in it’s just a pure psychological contest vs starvation, watching them lay in their shelter.

[kevwun 15757]

Yeah they need to never pick a spot like last season again.  That was the worst season by far.

[Texzilla58 4731]

It’s an opinion. You may disagree with it but it’s not a “lie”. Don’t like it rebut it douchenozzle. It’s a fucking TV show.

It’s a simple equation. Few of these folks have enough fat stored in their food stores or bodies to offset their calorie burn and hence it’s a race of enduring starvation. Lots of the better competitors seem to have the psych makeup to endure the solitude permanently if they had enough food.

thank you for this. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Has the old man figured his fuckup yet? 

 

Regardless, pretty good first ep. We appear to have a chance to redeem last season. 

[RPM 26315]

Nobody tapped out first ep, so that's something.

[Texzilla58 4731]

I thought the concept of not building a shelter for over a month to be a bit unconventional.

[kevwun 15757]

They're gonna change their tune real fast the first time it gets colder and rains.

Or a bear shows up. I was kinda impressed with the stove the guy cobbled out of old cans. Not sure it's going to be big enough, but it should be efficient.

Dude dyeing his hair for flies was pretty cool. 

Sincerely hope 23-year old’s girl never dumps him, because he will likely be on Dateline shortly if so. 

[RPM 26315]

Kinda wasn't surprised he tapped. He was weak. You have to be an alpha to win this.

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Of course no one was surprised he tapped, just think about how fucked he’ll be if ol’ girl & dog split at some point. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Will be interesting to see how long the doctor goes. I’ve only seen maybe three seasons, one was Redemption or some shit, has there ever been a practicing doc before?

Not that I recall.

[kevwun 15757]

That dude was done as soon as he felt bad about killing a squirrel.

[Texzilla58 4731]

I think the producers tell them to make apologies to the animals they kill for appearances. Thank you dear lake trout!

I think that dude with the squirrel really felt he had assaulted Mother Earth and had to leave. No way he would have harvested enough protein and fat to get thru a week of big winter. Probably would have just eaten berries and moss to get by to avoid eating a mussel.

[ss13 1832]

Clearly this season is enthralling all of you. 

Better than last, still pretty boring.

Wait until one of those idiots tries to kill a bear with a straight bow. Hilarity will ensue.

[Texzilla58 4731]

These dudes obsessed with a bear will hopefully end with one having his head bitten off.

Beavers are way simpler, loaded with fat, and simpler to kill and process.

[ss13 1832]

Revenge of the fucking beaver. 

 

How thick are these tarps everyone is using? 

[RPM 26315]

They look to be cheap poly mesh tarps. Not thick at all.

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

This shit sucks. I’ll finish the season, but it’s 90 minutes of boredom every week.

Clearly I missed whatever seasons were halfway entertaining. 

[RPM 26315]

Yeah, I was nodding off watching this ep.

[Texzilla58 4731]

It’s time to make it more interesting. Like providing weapons that enable war. Add in some food resources spread unevenly and let the fun ensue.

That lady worked on her house for a month and it's kind of shitty.  It really hasn't been good since the 100 day season.  The people aren't as interesting and they do is sit around and starve.

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

I have seen every single episode this season, & I literally can’t name a person. Boring 1-Boring 7, they all suck. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Looks like this snoozefest finished 27th in cable ratings for Thursday night last week, that’s pretty awful. 

Now they’re trying frozen two weeks after N&A’s premiere. This show is over. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15941]

Weirdo won. Congrats, I guess. 

These fucking dorks got as close to a bear as I did to Beckinsale. 

[RPM 26315]

I thought the crazy old lady would win, but she broke.

[kevwun 15757]

Worst winner in it's history.  Dude just laid in his shelter all day.
