Alone: Frozen

So there are a few issues with this show. Not calling it a reality show because it isn't. These people aren't expected to survive naked and unresourced with no opt-out device - that would be pretty real.

Sick of the heartfelt thanking directed to a dead animal, the life of which was sacrificed in the pursuit of financial gain. None of these people HAVE to be there, so don't dress up killing native animals (and starving their offspring) as an honourable, life sustaining act. Go home and eat a hamburger.

Over the proselytizing, personal justifications, getting in touch with one's roots (seriously?), the living in harmony with the land, the slow and inevitable mental and physical deterioration and unending efforts to cope with this self-imposed and totally needless challenge, driven by the desire for lots of money and to prove some personal ability, ably assisted by survival accoutrements and the ever-ready rescue teams. Seriously?

All the losers from previous seasons takes part. Suppose to be the ultimate challenge and not really creating that feeling. Expected a lot more and better contestants in this one.

Enjoyed spinoff Alone Frozen much better than the original series. Alone Frozen Contestants had half the # of weeks to prepare before winter started than in the original series. Liked to see the adaptations and skills of the later contestants, did not care much for the early departures.

I think most contestants on this type of series can do well with summer conditions. The blizzards and procurement of food/game in harsh winter conditions showcased the survivalist skills and mental toughness of remaining contestants.

As always, the reflections and trials faced remind me of the many things we take for granted. Hope there are many more seasons with this format.

Not a bad review, but I have to point out something. I notice that Greg Ovens' fingers are clubbed at the tips. This is a sign of some serious diseases, such as lung cancer, heart disease or cirrhosis. I hope he gets physical checkups. He looks and sounds like a heavy drinker and smoker, too. Have never seen any of the contestants smoke, though. Overall, I guess I just enjoy seeing people improvise during harsh conditions while sitting in my comfy house. I wonder if anyone watching it has ever used any of their techniques to get by themselves. Why do you have to write such long reviews? I don't have anything else to say. Bye.

I can't give less than 10 stars for this series because of the three women who fought at the end. It became boring when most of the participants left at an early stage, like Greg (I believed was the toughest survivalist). But Kudos to Woniya, Michelle, and Callie. They took the fight for survival to the next level. I watched other Alone spinoffs like Alone Australia. Those were a shame to people in this real Alone series. I welcome people who underrated this series to watch Alone Australia. Then you will give 10 stars to this series. This is the toughest challenge I have ever seen in a TV series which lasted 50 days. Thank you Woniya, Michelle, and Callie.
