Alone Australia

Fan of Alone franchise!..... But the Australia version sadly doesn't cut it. It so far doesn't have great editing or candidates. Lots of random tap outs... and the editing esp in season 2 has them not showing any things like shelter building, net or tool building. It just skips ahead and suddenly youre 2 weeks in and see things they've made or found etc and no footage of it??? You barely even see them making fire, boiling water, eating vegetation.

Producers need to be improved greatly or changed. I don't watch it for reality show back stories, sob stories, missing families, tapping out early. I want to see survival!! Or just anything. They haven't even shown footage of them cutting up wood.... basic stuff. Ugh.

The location after four episodes is awful. They should have been put near the ocean. They seem to have been placed on a lake that has been formed from a dam. They are restricted in ways they can hunt. If there is a next season hopefully they put them in the middle of Australia in a dry area. Give us a different set of survival skills from the other Alone series. Even get a couple of good contestants from the other Alone series to see how they survive in a arid location. The contestants on the first season of Alone Australia are not very likeable. Very little in the way of useful survival skills after four episodes. The editors so far have put too much talking and not enough survival.

The breathing sound effect is extremely annoying. It's played in just about every seen. Not sure whose idea that was but it completely ruins the reality of the situation that these individuals are involved. All of the contestants seem inexperienced and way too into themselves. Not to mention it seemed like 75% of them couldn't even make it within the first 3 days. What a joke. If I hear PTSD one more time I will lose my mind. Then we have the guy who thinks being a Christian is going to make him stronger than the other players, oh brother...get real. I'm a diehard fan of this show and I probably won't be able to make it through this season. Absolutely awful. Do better.

I love the series, but some of these folk had no business being out there. Lots of crying and shutting it down early, more about their personal beliefs than getting food it seems. Crafts and spirituality were more important than surviving. I'm no expert but not cast well. I wish they would just stick it out and keep going. There's pros not lots we do not see. Edited out cleverly by the producers. Again I'm an avid outdoorsman, worked in forestry in Canada for a long time. From the island to the bug infested wetlands of Sask. These guys wouldn't make a day or two here. Still watched it all though.

I have never rated a program in my life. But i felt compelled to warn others. Watching paint drying would be more entertaining. Failure. Complete failure. After watching multiple seasions of Alone for the past 4+ years, this is a compete disservice to a brand that I held in such high regard. If it's not broken, don't fix it. Take me back to Canada....

landscape is cool (graphically), but you'd better watch out for the ravid platypus that is going to sneak into your camp at night and cuddle you.

I can't help but keep watching in the hope that something diabolical happens. Like someone sneezes and poos their pants.
