Haven't seen the latest yet. I think they're not on the same day in the different countries where it is shown.

styx · **Reply #301 on:** June 16, 2016, 07:14:50 AM

not sure if they are shown here. the last episode came out 6 days ago on my resource

Gerhard Gerber · **Reply #302 on:** June 16, 2016, 10:14:09 AM

Am I right, there was a 2 week gap between episodes?

Alan K. · **Reply #303 on:** June 17, 2016, 07:44:22 AM

Yes, I think there was a gap. Probably didn't want to air a new episode during the American basketball and hockey playoffs because viewers would be watching the games.

styx · **Reply #304 on:** June 17, 2016, 01:47:18 PM

yup there was a gap

zoidberg · **Reply #305 on:** June 17, 2016, 01:49:10 PM

Watching episode 8...

Toolslinger · **Reply #306 on:** June 17, 2016, 04:07:42 PM

I'm up to 7. Need to get at and watch 8. Probably do that tonight.

Was a little surprised at the 2 taps in episode 7. Both contestants were doing great, until their minds got the better of them.

Gerhard Gerber · **Reply #307 on:** June 17, 2016, 04:27:24 PM

As a loner, I find that fascinating because I've never had the opportunity to test how much of a loner I really am......

Toolslinger · **Reply #308 on:** June 17, 2016, 08:07:06 PM

Even as a loner, we still interact within a societal structure to some extent. Being truly isolated for such a long time would be an interesting psychology experiment for sure.

JP · **Reply #309 on:** June 19, 2016, 03:02:46 PM

Agreed. I am not sure what Nicole will be able to do if they come sniffing around her place. She has had the food to go the distance. I was told never to prepare food at your campsite when bears are around. The island is crawling with bears though. Not sure if she has much choice. Did they show all 5 remaining contestants in the last episode?

I didn't see Larry in this episode.

Toolslinger · **Reply #311 on:** June 19, 2016, 10:06:03 PM

Also, they only have 2 more episodes, it'll be interesting to see what takes the contestants out.

They all seem to be doing OK.

Show content

David seems to be worst off as he can't seem to get any food, yet he is mentally determined.

Nicole has plenty of food and seems quite comfortable with her location. If she can keep the bears away from her camp, she's set.

Justin seems to be in a better place mentally and physically now that he has relocated his camp after the mountain trip.

Jose just seems to keep improving his setup. The man can build (helps that he took a LM Surge).

Larry is hard to gauge. He has some anger issues and seems to fight nature instead of living with her. I had expected him to have taken himself out earlier than this.

Tough call as to who is going to last longest, but I'd say it's likely Jose followed by Nicole.

styx · **Reply #312 on:** June 20, 2016, 08:31:37 AM

if Jose doesn't end up in water he'll last

Gerhard Gerber · **Reply #313 on:** June 20, 2016, 10:25:33 AM

Had a bit of a moment watching the last episode.......David was talking about people watching while eating chicken thighs........and no guesses what I was eating

While he was complaining about not getting any fish, I was eating... fish.

I think Nicole is doing outstanding her knowledge of plants and luck with her net is proving key. She really does need to be IMO more wary of those bears.

Jose building skills are tremendous. I'm not sure how well he's doing for food

. I thought I heard him say the Salmon run is mandatory for him which is why this boat was critical.

Larry is hard to gauge. His anger may propel him all the way tho

Justin is another hard one to call. I really thought after his expedition he'd tap. What a great venue for his cause tho. I thought he was brilliant for being on the show and often talking about his work. What a great way to bring attention to the men and women suffering from PTSD and despair

.

I would not be surprised if Nicole outlasts everyone. While Jose seems the likely choice luck plays a huge part. She has a good location and plenty of fish for now. I am taking nothing away from her determination/attitude/skills.

Syph007 · **Reply #316 on:** June 20, 2016, 04:28:24 PM

To me Nicole is in the best position for the win. Jose has mad skills but he isnt getting much food.

JP · **Reply #317 on:** June 21, 2016, 04:58:42 PM

It does not seem like they are preserving food for the future. If there are really only two episodes left it could be a fast and furious ending.

It's a little hard to say how much food they are getting. We haven't seen Jose, Larry or Justin much in the context of food. David is shown as struggling and Nicole is shown as having plenty of fish and wild edibles.

I think that they may start dropping once the winter storms start picking up. That was a real game-changer in the last season in terms of what contestants were able to accomplish. Alan, the winner, pretty much holed up and only went out to get food.

Depending on the stat of their shelters and access to food (or stored food), we could start seeing some pretty quick tap-outs. It also depends on how everything has been edited to fit into the episodes. It's hard to tell how much time will get covered in each.

styx · **Reply #319 on:** June 25, 2016, 02:10:52 PM

4 more to go

JP · **Reply #320 on:** June 27, 2016, 03:48:20 AM

They showed the boys in this past episode. Boredom got to Justin and I am not sure why they ignored Nicole.

They haven't shown how folks are settling in for the long haul.
IE smoking fish etc, splitting fire wood, winterizing shelters.

It appears that the food situation is boom and bust. Why had David waited so long to eat the Bull kelp and Dungeness crab?

From what has been shown he looks like a very angry and irrational person. The reality might be entirely different but he is constantly trying to impose his ideas on nature

Gerhard Gerber · **Reply #322 on:** June 27, 2016, 12:43:45 PM

This week everybody got a feed....almost

I know editing play a part on how we "see" what they are doing. I did wonder exactly the same thing

. It would seem they'd all be exploiting every food opportunity.

Justin did seem very bored. We didn't really see how he was feeing himself or how he was getting along in camp. It appears as tho he may have been "camping" rather than "surviving" which is about what he said upon making his decision to leave.

In that regard I knew it was his time to go as the "test" was over. He seems like a squared away guy and I would have like to see how far he could have gone. Winter is coming and new challenges with it.

Nicole not being shown was interesting. Early on she was talking about home a bit but I am not recalling her mention it recently. It seems as tho she's at "home" in these woods. She has a good attitude and skills to match.

It will be very interesting to see how Jose does with his boat. He spent a lot of time on it so I hope for his sake it pays back some.

JP · **Reply #324 on:** June 27, 2016, 05:28:32 PM

Ok. The Madness was episode 9 of 13. There still is a good chunk of viewing left. Yippee!

Another good episode. It still seems folks are trying to survive instead of the thrive. Other than Jose the men are coming across as angry. I am sure their condition and fatigue make it easy to be angry though. I hope Nicole takes care of her seal problem and eats them up.

Remember how the last 4 were chilled last season? A bit of difference this season, although now more are lasting about as long as last season's winner

Syph007 · **Reply #327 on:** July 05, 2016, 11:56:16 PM

Nicole is kicking ass. She could be doing a show about nature camping and wild edibles while the men are barely getting by.

I think they should be allowed to meet once a week and trade.

JP · **Reply #328 on:** July 06, 2016, 12:14:25 AM

PBS had a reality show on period correct Montana Homesteading. 3 or 4 families set out. I would like to see another show like that but over a longer period of time.
