Lucas just cannot stop doing projects. It seems like he stayed up all night to build a guitar type thing?

And, Lucas is out. He made it longer than I expected.

Mitch is all, "when you've been out here for so long, it changes you". It has been 42 days, Mitch. Not even two months.

Yep. That's how it was always going to go. I knew it when he was the only one who made a shelter just for preparing food. The right guy won.

"So soon? I was working up a spring garden." King shit.

Doubt. (Except for Alan and Sam.)

I watched this when it aired, so I don’t remember the details. Each season gets a better set of people with real skills.

One season is set of two people (season 4). It’s actually a nice break from the solo stuff, but they only did it once if I’m remembering correctly. It was a great look at being alone with family… father/son, married, brothers, etc. Of all the seasons, only one I watched twice.

I love introducing this show to people! 😊

@bryan I watched the first couple seasons of Survivor, but it was so contrived and game show like, it didn't have enduring appeal for me. Alone feels like the real thing, at least so far, and that's more powerful than the manufactured drama and competition of Survivor and most reality TV. They still do a lot of human interest back story stuff, where they try to find inspiring or heart-tugging details about the people, which I don't care for...

@swelljoe
😂 I enjoy the backstory on Alone. So many of the contestants are all talk and brag so hard. Those ones are usually tapping out early and it’s satisfying seeing them fail. Especially when they backpedal all their big talk and suddenly “have nothing to prove”.

I Could never do this show. I wouldn’t even get through the initial medical. I know my place… without civilization’s gift of modern medicine, I’d be lucky to survive a year.

@bryan the editors being absolute killers is funny, for sure. They cut from Desmond telling the old joke, "I you see me fighting a bear, help the bear" to leaving the island before the first night because he saw bear poop.
