Interviewer: So I assume you're adept at all Office products, right?
Me: All except PowerPoint.
Interviewer: What do you mean? Everybody knows how to use PowerPoint.
Me: I'm sure I could figure it out. F1 brings up the help menu. It's how I learned the other modules in the Office suite. I just hate PowerPoint. It's garbage. Nobody should use it. Ever. Have IT delete it off all your computers.
Interviewer: What? How would you give a presentation then?
Me: I don't know. It's been a long time since I took Public Speaking. Tell you what--give me a topic and a week to prepare and I'll come up with a creative presentation that will actually keep people engaged.
Interviewer: You took Public Speaking?
Me: Yes. Of course. Isn't that kind of a basic requirement if you want to call yourself educated? And, I mean, it's not easy to learn on your own. If you're gonna get up and sing the ABC song at the salad bar at Shoney's, you better do it at the end of your meal 'cuz they're gonna throw you out. I did that once, y'know.
Interviewer: You did? Why?
Me: Lost a bet. My boss was a prick.
Interviewer: Well, you're either getting the job or referred to the FBI for heavy surveillance. Probably both. Welcome aboard!

OK, Wayne had a real bear scare. I reckon he's justified in bailing out.
Sam's looking awful cozy, though.

Ah, hell, his name is Joe. But, dude, you had a fire going when you lost the fire starter. Just keep it going forever. Where else you gotta be that you can't put a log on the fire every couple hours? Night time is a challenge, but if you keep it reasonably dry, you can stoke it back to life again in the morning.

Doomed by misplacing the fire starter is relatable. I would definitely lose something vitally important to my survival immediately.

Maybe they've saved the competent folks for later. Two guys have boiled water in episode 2, including the "better float across this water on a rickety tarp raft".
This guy eating a banana slug, a notorious carrier of rat lung worm, seems like an avoidable risk? At least he thoroughly cooked it.

Thanks, all. I'd say No.

I mean, I guess it's saltwater. But, I think they're in a rainforest? They said this place gets 12+ feet of rain every year.
But, they're seemingly all drinking collected water without boiling or treating it. These folks are not gonna last long.

How am I going to get across all this water to find water?
I know this sounds like a joke, but that is literally what is happening here.

OK, Alone is fantastic. The cop talking tough while leaving after the first day because of bears is hilarious. Oh, there are bears in the woods? Better go home, tough guy.
Next one to leave is because he's afraid of dogs.
And, look, bears are scary as shit. But, these guys act like serious outdoorsmen, and they've never run into wildlife? Without a firearm they're terrified? I'm a casual but regular hiker, and I've been sniffing distance from bears, a bobcat, a lynx, and wolves.
