Alone season 11 watch thread.

@GeePawHill I can't believe I'm still watching it. I have so little tolerance for most reality TV. But, something about this one grabbed me.

@swelljoe Right? It's weird. I kinda do feel dirty. "Lord, make me a better man . . . but not yet."

[swelljoe@mas.to]

This man is named Dub, and he has to be from the midwest or rust belt or something? Pennsylvania or Illinois or...ah, Michigan. Same thing.

"I didn't come out here with a set shelter plan. I just came out here saying, I'm gonna Dub it, and when Dub does something he just...starts doing it."

Dub, you're a wild man.

[geepawhill@mastodon.social]

@swelljoe I had an "uncle", great-uncle actually, who was called "Uncle Dubbee", pronounced Dub-uh-ee. We mostly called him Uncle Dub.

I was maybe 20 years old when I realized that his name was "William Edgar Avery", and Dub-uh-ee was "W. E." in Kansan.

OK, making it small is probably a good idea, if it's going to be really cold. Though it's going to suck being stuck inside for hours every day when it does get cold.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

We got a big boy! He's ready to starve for a long time. Wait a minute, his name is Cubby? What is happening?

He is respecting the order of operations. He's going to take the time to boil water, rather than just YOLO drinking raw water immediately as seems to happen at least once every season.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

OK, Cubby started with a simple tarp shelter on the first day, which is reasonable if he didn't see any bear sign. Pretty big fire for just boiling some water.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Dub's already got bears at camp. He's rebuilding, which is smart, but moving would be smarter, probably.

Isaiah doesn't know what to do about a nose bleed. Not gonna make it.
