Mike was just showboating out there tonight. Holy shit he made that land his bitch. Dude left because he was just bored with how easy it was and missed Barbara.
Honestly, I don't think the showrunners really knew what they were getting into casting a SERE Instructor. They don't do the things on this show as a hobby, or even take groups of civilians out for a "survival class." SERE Instructors are the professional badasses whose job it is full time to teach the highest levels of Special Forces how to survive if trapped alone in the wilderness behind enemy lines. I'd say, as a group, they're the most accomplished survival experts in the country. He was probably bored because they didn't have people out there trying to hunt him down.
I've really grown I terested in this show more and more. I'm nowhere near able to even apply yet for this show but I'd love to eventually
I'm watching season one online This Sam guy is the lamest person ever. 22 and married with a kid on the way. Just a tough Nebraskan dude
They gotta find a way where it doesn't come down to who can starve themselves the longest. It sucks the winner wins just they can starve themselves a little longer, rather than survive and subsist the longest.
I guess season 6 came out tonight. I was flipping through the channels and saw some dude try to shoot an arrow at a squirrel in a tree. I thought hey I'll see what happens. He got his arrow stuck in the tree and had to cut down the damn thing to retrieve it. Lol talk about a waste of calories and a "deep connection with nature" then he said he was gonna sleep under the stars but failed to get a fire on his first night in the Arctic. They showed some little graphic saying he was the first participant in the history of the show not to bring a ferro rod with which to make fires and they're in the damn Arctic
I think I’ve watched them all. Started the Aussie one they’re airing but not quite as into it. How many days in until TC would whittle a ‘guitar’?
Definitely thought about that while watching, haha. I think I recall at least one person making a stringed instrument and one making a flute. I’d prob try both of those as well as something percussive. My favorite recreational thing was the guy who made a bowling set among other games and toys. He was just chilling, only decided to go home because he missed his wife
Finished last night. Enjoyed the contestants but the location was a little disappointing. There was shit for game on those islands and the nature of that area and its lake/winds, meant even ice fishing was going to be ridiculously scarce. From a "need" standpoint, I'd have liked to have seen Mikey win but pother than having the most fat to lose, he was at a clear disadvantage almost immediately, knowing nothing about the area. Thought Luke had a good shot until I found out he was just drinking water straight out of the lake. I'd make it all of like 3 days out there but even I know better than that shit. Was surprised Wyatt gave up; really thought he had the better food supply but he's clearly lived a rougher life and so his body breaking down happened a hell of a lot quicker once the cold set in.
I agree. This season seemed kind of meh. None of the contestants really stood out like in past years. No one built all that cool of a shelter (even thought the ones that do usually starve themselves out early). Just kind of meh all around.
I was sad that Luke was too dumb to get to finish his bear cave. Think it would have been dope. That one lady spending like a week building her cabin, only to sleep in it one night, and then go home was hilarious. Always happens to at least one person. Cade was, by far, the biggest entertainment of the season. Eating his belt, passing out for an hour and coming up with moss stuck in his mustache, lighting the place on fire, losing his arrows. Just a comedy of errors combined with his "get bear or starve" mentality.
