First two seasons were pretty interesting. Looking forward to the change of scenery Patagonia will offer.

In the bars or the grocery stores?

So what is the premise of the show? I assume it is one person that has to survive alone for a period of time? Is it worth watching, or does it look like it is faked?

Several people are sent out individually and the last one standing wins. Seems pretty authentic and the show is an OB favorite (at least among survivor shows).

Show is legit. Can't believe some of y'all haven't seen it yet. Everyone is sent out to their own non-overlapping areas and whoever lasts longest wins. They don't tell them anything about who all is left so it's really a mind game since most of the people are comfortable in survival scenarios.

One of my favorite shows in years. If only they could convince some of the other tv host survivor shows to do a season. Would be interesting to see how those "experts" perform.

That would be something. Get a couple of the guys that have done dual survival, the guy that did survivorman, Bear Grylls, and maybe a couple people like they have now who are skilled but not famous. I'd watch the hell out of that..

Oh and you only get 10 items to choose from a preselected list. Show is awesome. Can't wait for season 3. Hope we get another Larry like season two had

Get Matt Graham out there against the other TV guys. It wouldn't even be close.

Bear wouldn't never do it, he knows he only does pseudo survival.

They are sent with camera gear and have to do all of their own filming similar to survivorman. The thing I find fascinating is them being alone not just the survival part. I like my alone time, but I think it would be tough trying to go weeks or months without any human interaction.

Here is what items everybody brought. I wish they just had it in list form versus individual videos. I'm looking forward to this season. Anybody want to take bets on who we think will last the longest??

Granted we've only really seen 4 of em, but so far my money is on Fowler.

I am just now watching the Making the Cut episode on the History app on Roku.
For those of you who haven't seen Alone ever, binge watch the first two seasons on the History app. By the time you're done, you'll be ready for this one.

I bet the other 4987+ applicants are like "3 freaking days!?"

Too man of these seem like they have young kids. That will be tough.

Yeah, that could definitely be his undoing. And it may be way too soon to call, but his attitude just seems conducive to this scenario. And he nonchalantly left em on the side of the road.

I am definitely curious to see how much the hunting aspect actually comes up this season. Only 3 people really brought a hunting tool from what I saw, so it may not play much of a role at all. If someone was lucky enough to bring down something truly sizeable, and knows how to preserve the meat, it could be a huge game changer.

Yeah. That is what I thought for the first two seasons too, but then it was just all fish and foraging. I would like to see someone serious make a hog trap and just get fat on bacon.

Hell, I'd say that's pretty decent. The first two seasons had some out almost less than 24 hours into everything

I think big game was off limits in the first 2 seasons.

I have only seen half of episode 1, but I am thinking Dave and Greg have a good shot to make it far.
Dave kinda seems nuts already, and doesn't seem to have any close family ties.
Greg is an older guy, but also doesn't have super strong family connections other than one daughter who is older.
Both of these guys brought bows and emergency food rations. I feel like hunting would be a fantastic way to pass time.

I have only seen the second half of season 2--
Question about the show:
Are they required to stay within a certain distance of where they were dropped off?
--I figure this may be the case so they can ensure they don't run into anybody. I also feel like some people may not get dropped off in as good of locations as others- based on what I have seen of episode 1, it looks like Britt got dropped off in some rough terrain/territory.

Those that quit on day one were embarrassing. Even if I realized I'd overstepped I imagine I'd try to stay a week just. It to get laughed at. But who knows....

Bear Grylls: It's been 2 hours since I was dropped off by the crew, better drink my own urine.
