Alone Season 2 is off to a bang.

Alone Season 2 is off with a bang. Desmond didn't even make it one day. Went into the woods, saw bear scat, and noped right out of there.

Tracy is already looking like a frontrunner. No-nonsense, seems to know her stuff. Former cop, so probably a coward without a gun, but nonetheless, she's the most promising we've met yet. Country girl from Aiken, South Carolina, probably not too scared of critters.

Mary Kate aint gonna make it. Where do you even find a down sleeping bag?

Larry complains more than any person I have ever seen, but he seems to have stood his ground when the bears started raising a ruckus near his camp. I guess we'll see how he feels about it in the morning.

Mary Kate maybe got her shit together a little bit and made a decent shelter? She's having a real hard time with that ax, though. They are not going to convince me she's a trained survivalist, and is she building a fire shelter with a plastic tarp on top?

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Oh, it's gonna be ol' Mike. He knows his edible plants, and is not overly concerned about finding fresh bear scat, and has already set up a net for fish.

Bare feet!? Randy, you are not thinking this through. They let you have sturdy shoes, what are you doing? I mean, he's starving, so he won't be there long enough for a bacterial infection to get him, but, why extend the invitation?

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Randy dumped his ferro rod into the fire. He's going home. He was always going home. No reason to wait around, go on home and be comfortable and close to medical attention for the foot injuries you sustain while walking around barefoot in inappropriate places.

Yep, Mary Kate is out. And, it was the ax that did the job. The editors knew they needed to show her struggling with it. We all saw how she handled that ax. Chekhov's ax.

We got a project guy! Jose has so many projects he wants to work on. But, he seems to know what he's doing in the woods, and his first project is not a boat.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Tracy cooked at her shelter. Do you want bears? Because that's how you get bears.

Yep. Now you got bears.

Leading causes of failure on Alone:

1. Cooking and eating at home.
2. Losing fire starter.
3. Projects.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Projects!

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Projects! Justin cannot stop doing projects. He built a gym.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Mike, I believed in you. Projects get them every time.

[swelljoe@mas.to]

Jose has reached the boat stage of doing projects. It was always going to end this way.
