im not a pro but looking at his action....just not right

 

[Kram]

That doodle is lovely mate but wouldn't your time be better spent working out fire unless you want to keep eating fish like Gollum

He spends an hour carving cartoons in his tomahawk handle instead of practising lighting a fire.
Most clever people also get soft material for fire starting and bank it in thier shelter for a rainy day.

Has anyone left for a good reason yet? The casting has been real poor.

 

[Kram]

The bigger the weirdo the longer they last in this.

Jimmy got covid...he even asked to be dropped back to a different spot

 

[Vader]

saw sedge is so named...(lacerations) yet Gina never educated the audience on that...no popup factoid even....that's a miss for story telling

Because they gave us that popup in an earlier episode?

 

[TheEscapeClub]

There's not the need to build too complex shelter in the tassie one. Don't have to protect from snow and animals and not as cold. Basically just need wind protection and a roof.

Depends on how long they think they need to stay to win and it would give them something to do / focus on rather than sitting there bored and going to bad / negative places with their thoughts.

oh, can't remember

I haven't seen the original version. Whilst I'm watching this yeah you can tell that the show could be be so, so much better.

 

[Kram]

Maybe put the next one up in croc country that would spice things up a bit.

The first US season was a bit like this, but I do think they've leant too heavily on casting for diversity first, instead of skillset first. The second season you'd hope will be better cast.

That high school teacher who left day 1 simply didn't have the skillset to last, she should never have been on the show. The alpha-male hunter is a very typical type that you see in the US shows that theoretically has the skillset but rarely lasts because they can't cope with adversity, there's usually one or two of them every season.

Also I don't think the location has been great, very limited options for foraging / trapping which means playing the catch a fish roulette wheel, and the weather whilst unfriendly isn't inhospitable in the same way that it is in the places they filmed the US version. I don't forsee this being a season where the winner lasts all that long.

The weather isn't that bad this early in the US versions either. It's usually a fair few weeks before the bad stuff hits. The amount of rain does offer a unique challenge the US ones tend to not have, you'd probably prefer snow than constant rain.

Ultimately no bows will make it harder to get food but I still think there's plenty of things other than fish, we've just only seen one person bother to try to trap one.

I aught up with the last two episodes and had to fast forward when they started talking. I get so bored with all the personal shit. I'm a bit concern for the army vet and his fragile mentality. I know I shouldn't discriminate but sometimes I think he shouldn't be on the show. Of course the producers went for diversity they have to. The alpha male who was a professional hunter just cracked me up. He couldn't hunt for his life, not a good look for his business that he only lasted a couple of days. The two females are doing ok but the one who doesn't want to kill anything is not going to last she is going to starve only eating about five berries a day. The other one built a great shelter and her decision not to have a sleeping bag seems to be paying off. Thought she was going on about not wearing a lot of clothing, yet when she was in her bed she had a lot of clothing on. I don't know what food they can hunt other than possums and maybe not the right weather conditions for trout. Like how the vet guy just ate the trout roe straight away. I've only seen a few episodes from each seasons. I'll stick with it. Maybe they could do one in NZ. Question what happens if you come across another contestant 10kms is not that far from each other.

They don't tend to wander that far, particularly given how dense the scrub is around their campsites. Some competitors have definitely gone walkabout, particularly in the Mongolia series, but so far no two contestants have run into each other.

Contestants should have been given a bar of soap...so as my mum used to say...wash your mouth out with soap son. World would cringe if they saw this. F bomb central.
