There is already alot of Britt love on here, but I just want to repeat and add to it.

He is awesome!

Am I the only one who notices that whenever there is a time displayed on the screen, it's always some awkward/odd time? Like they want to be so different and unique that it can't be an actual

1:51

3:49

11:59

7:01

4:54

11:14

like, really? you just coincidentally never have a 12:00, 12:30, 1:00, 3:30, 5:30, 1:15? Maybe it's just the seasons I watched. it's like trying to wait for the logo to hit the corner on a television screensaver. I'll just wait. One day, there is just going to be a nice solid 1:00pm.

WHY, every single season.. I’m on season 6 now (no spoilers please) WHY does it take at least 3 episodes to get to meet all the participants?! I want to see day 1 of everyone! This season I was so hopeful they’d FINALLY do everyone’s intros in episode 1 and show us how they start their set ups etc, but we’re still meeting contestant 9 and 10 as of the 3rd episode and it’s like day 5 or later.

Does this ever change?!

Anyone else hear the terrible noise at the beginning of each new persons time on screen? It’s an ear piercing sparking noise and I petition they TAKE IT OUT OF EVERY SEASON

at 7:02 there's a little white spider that crawls up his head and into his hair and nobody seems to notice

Also, does anyone have any insight into fish length and other regulations for the areas they film?
I'm just interested if they get a pass to keep any fish or ignore antler restrictions.

Have any of the contestants ever talked about seeing other people on boats on the waterways they are based on?

I've only seen a few episodes of like three seasons but no one has burned the hair and scraped to get to the fat. They've all skinned their kills. Seems like a wasted resource. Curious to hear of reasons.

Im from Norway. I recently found Alone, so i went on history to try to watch it. When i tried, i get an error message that said it wasnt avalible in my area. Is there any way to bypass this? Or are there other platforms i can try?

I was wondering this, because there are watches, that measure temperature, air pressure, tides, and they calculate it to a fishing perspective, would the show notice that? And if not, how would it affect the game?

To me, it felt like a Dances With Wolves situation. "Leave Two Socks alone!!!"

Made me realize that if I were in the bush, I'd focus on fishing and foraging.

Did anyone else notice that Biko from Alone season 8 was featured in the new season of Expedition Bigfoot that premiered this week on Discovery? He was touted as an “expert survivalist” and “local expert” as he joined the regular hosts searching for Sasquatch in Northern California.

Maybe Biko will try to attract Bigfoot with some of his heavy metal songs?

So from a wilderness survival perspective - did it seem like Taz was way over-reacting about the maggots in his food cache??

Clearly he did not dehydrate/Smoke his fish and bird well - but those fresh maggots barely a day or so old when subjected to a nice fire l, should think either cook up (extra protein) but not have really damaged the meat from a toxic perspective? So my thought is to try to salvage all the meat possible. From what little I know it should be okay in a survival situation to eat once seared through and through???

Thanks Alone fam!

Jose seemed like an interesting person but his fixation on the kayak was maddening. Even after admitting he was too single-minded about the kayak, he didn't branch out enough to produce food in other ways. (Eating the mussels was unsafe.) Maybe he felt an impulse to test his limits? But ultimately he seemed too stubborn with dangerous and fatal methods.

That said, it was fun to watch Jose, Larry, and David as the final contestants. Because each of those guys were so different from one another.

Shelter building, fire-starting, hunting… we talk about the big ones, but what survival skill do you think contestants often overlook?

I was curious if any contestants see any issues with:

Thyroid? Pancreas? Diabetes?

During or after they tap out..

How does this first real meal taste and feel? Are there long term dietary changes that are made as a result?

For context I think the youngest guy was 22 and the oldest 57. I just wanted to see everyone’s opinion on what they think it would/should be. I just applied at 18 and feel like even with a good application they’d see my age and just throw it out.

Ive just watched seasons 1&2 - I love it! Im hooked!! Being english myself, I''m curious. What's his background? How did he get the job? What is he doing now? Seems odd to have a British guy on the show. He seems lovely :)

Can someone explain why William appeared so warm in his shelter with no fire, while Timber and Dub looked like they were freezing in theirs, despite having fires? He wasn’t even blowing smoke when he talked. How did he do it?

I always find it funny when they thank the dead animal for its life because Im sure the animal would rather have not been killed lol! This is meant to be a lighthearted post btw.

Who would be your top picks?

Mine would be Ashton Kutcher, Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, and Will Smith.

I swear every season someone taps out after a couple days because they miss their family. It's never even an extended period of time, I'm watching Alone Australia Season 2 and this contestant tapped out after 4 days. Who signs up for a show to be alone that can barely handle a long weekend of camping by themselves? I honestly don't believe they miss their family, I'm pretty sure it's an excuse. It seems like a good way to dip out without facing consequences. But I'm curious if producers don't try to pick at least one or two contestants they know aren't going to come close to making it. I don't know the stats but it sure seems like every season I've watched someone taps out less than a week into the game. It's an endurance contest but so many people seem to tap out at less than your average vacation.

Please pm me cuz I'd like your instructions on how to mod my cold steel shovel and put some of your theory's to the test (not on alone) Youran outside the box thinker and while I think some of your ideas are stupid, I'll play around in the woods with them and see if I can't prove you right to these guys

I enjoy the show, but I think it's fun to try something new.

1. try another million dollar challenge, but you get 15 items, but each item is worth $100k of prize money. Like you survive with 15 items no prize, 10 items $500k, 7 items it's an $800k after 100 days.
2. Alone: the journey. Contestants need to make it across a wilderness, each mile/km traveled gets them $1k in prize money

OR have checkpoints, where you get extra rations when you make it to the checkpoint 3) Alone: inventions. Each contestant gets a sheet of Bushcraft/homestead inventions they need to try and create. Bow and arrow, pottery, smokehouse, canoe, friction fire, etc. success gives the contestants an extra bag of rations

In certain countries they fish at night by having lanterns on both ends of the boat, or a fire right at the shore, because the fish are curious and go there.

Seems like a very easy thing to try, especially in combination wirh a gill net where then the fish end up in.

Has any candidate ever tried that?

The contestants on "Alone" are mostly a likable bunch of people. They also are skilled at bushcraft overall. But every now and then, somebody lets a bit of nastiness peek through and I find myself (as a viewer) wishing them a bit of bad luck--hoping they tap out. And every now and then, the universe hears our thoughts and grants our wish. Such a moment occurred in one early season when a contestant mocked the other contestants on the show by calling them 'forest sages' and 'wood nymphs' or something similar. Then he pretended to nuzzle a tree to ask its permission to cut down it or its fellow trees. I found myself disliking him very much at that point because I thought he had no right to make fun of his fellow contestants. Did he really think he was the only contestant who knew enough to win the show? Did he really see his fellow contestants as idiots? What a jerk, I thought. "I hope he doesn't win." He didn't. In fact, before that episode was over, he fell and broke his leg. He tapped and had to be carried out. And Oh, my! The schadenfreude I felt! The universe had smacked his butt down hard and fast! Delicious. I feel guilty still for enjoying the moment.
