Alone Season 4 watch thread.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

One dude cooked a slug, though, so it can't be against the rules. So, why aren't they all keeping a smoky fire going all day?

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Lordy, we're about to lose another pair to an injury in the woods. Poor judgment all around this season. I knew it was going to be a short season, but this is ridiculous. I don't think any of the pairs have even met up yet?

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Brooke is doing a monologue to the creatures of the woods. I cant believe she's going to be one of the winners (but I think she is, because everybody else is such a mess).

[bryan@dusty.ninja]

@swelljoe
It’s quite the dynamic when two starving people are together trying to make decisions about base camp, shelter, cooking, activities, and projects.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

@bryan they'll have to find each other first! I don't think any of them has even made contact, and I'm on the third episode!

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Oh, good, there's a father/son pair that actually likes and respects each other. Maybe we'll have a real contest and Brooke and whatever her husband is named won't win by default, after all.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Day 8 and one pair has finally met up. This season is chaos.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Brooke, are you seriously afraid of an orb weaver?

They got a lot of nerve showing this caption after showing an obviously harmless and non-aggressive spider.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Boat!

"I don't know if what I'm doing is the right thing to be doing at this moment in time."

I know.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

He hasn't found food. So he's gonna build a boat. The sensible thing.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Meanwhile, Brooke has found a tangled up net with a bunch of floats. And, despite her best efforts to not make a signal fire in eight+ days, her husband has found her.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

It's gonna be Brooke and Dave, I think? They're not particularly good at anything, but they're not doing stupid shit over and over.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

I will be stunned if Brooke and Dave don't win this one. They understand the assignment, and they seem to be the only people who do. No fucking around with boats and projects. They're fishing. They're chopping fire wood. They're not injuring themselves through foolishness.

They are cooking and eating in their camp, which, in ordinary circumstances would be bad news (they even know it and said so), but they're up against far larger incompetence.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Brody and Chris are out after one big rain. Once again, the weakest link pulled them out far sooner than the other would have chosen.

This season is a lesson in boundaries. Don't let your family talk you into things you definitely do not want to do, because it's going to suck far more when you back out after a few days.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Ted and Jim are a mess. I'm sorry I'm laughing at their misery, as they seem like good Canadian lads, eh. But, they sure aren't making good decisions.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Ted and Jim had a fantastic day, so of course it's time to get in the boat and end it all quickly. A boat made to address the problem of lack of food, so immediately after catching 16 fish and a duck right next to their camp, it's time to...get in the boat built for finding food?

No one who builds the boat escapes the boat.
