It's pretty clean. A few curse words here and there but they are always bleeped out.

Yes, I would consider this a family friendly show. Also raises a lot of fun stuff to discuss during the show. They will curse because situations do arise, but as mentioned, they beep it

They bleep and blur everything. I think if the kids have interest, I think they would really like it.

If the boat guy catches fish and leaves the fish slime in the boat while stored on the shore, it will be destroyed by a bear. That's my prediction.
you might be spot on. and he keeps dragging onto the rocks I've noticed. I'd be way more gentle with that.


The War Department said "he better stake that boat down." Even though the wind has been blowing in, I think he needs to protect that a lot more.

He may be, we don't know for sure. He did acknowledge that bears could destroy it so he's at least aware of that fact.

Hippie Matt thanking the grasses and the mosses only to have them unleash wasps on him might be my favorite moment of the season so far

And as someone alluded to above, do you know why indigenous people aren't around anymore? They died of starvation while waiting for their fish traps to work.

This season has been SLOW. Hopefully it picks up.

I know she left but they gave Michelle a lot of of screen time tonight and it was all just her talking herself into quitting. Boring.

I take back all the nice things i said about Fubo streaming, because they dropped History/A&E today. Now i have to wait til tomorrow to watch on History app. Horror!

I use Philo to get the history channel. It's only $20 per month but doesn't have that big of a channel lineup.

This season is falling flat thus far. If the arrow let loose at the end tonight doesn't take down some game larger than a grouse then this is setting up to be another dull episode next week. Just and incredibly weak start with too many soft edges. Feels like a church summer camp that has gone at least a week too long already.

I thought he made a pretty impressive net. That is worth the time if he can actually haul some fish.

For what it's worth, seems every season is boring in the beginning. They give everyone equal airtime, or in some cases more to those who don't last, then as it gets down to a core group it gets better, then we end up watching them starve.

Overall I've been pretty impressed with this group. I mean 7 or so people at 21 days? Don't think that many have made it this long before. Hell, one season a dude tapped before the boat even made it out of his bay because he saw bear crap.

Oh, and Matt was bat **** crazy.

The second a contestant with family starts talking about how they are prepared to deal with being apart from their family, I mentally reduce their chances to win by 50%.

Matt is the only contestant in Alone history that left smelling better than when he started. Pretty impressive.

Location is always a big help to a winner, not enough fish being pulled out to keep people in this. And when someone does get lucky enough to kill something of size they usually win. Here it will be how to store it without the bears getting it. I would gorge myself silly, and rope up what I could.

Dude, you don't what it's like to be alone. I'm mean really alone. Sitting there on your couch with your popcorn.

I was thinking he somehow got a phone and Internet and got on texags.

I could be wrong but I feel if a person gets alot of screentime on an episode they're more than likely tapping out that episode. And the less screen time a person gets in the beginning episodes the more likely they're going to be around awhile.

Nope. On history channel so anything bad is bleeped.

I feel like about half these live off the grid folks are kooks anyway and this just brings it to the forefront quicker.

Crotty for the win again. When he started on the kids, I looked at the War Department and said "beep boop bip beep".

Death Metal Chunk is growing on me.

At least this newest fish trap is put in deep water and seemed to be weighted down well. He had plenty of rope on it, but I was wondering what he put in it for bait, if any.

Do any of you get really worked up when they lose a fish at shore like that? Just gets me all riled up.

Really interested to see how long the venison lasts in that smokehouse. He got 60 pounds of meat from the deer. That's plenty to last the 100 days. Bears gonna bear, though....

Here's a good investment;

1. Find a homeless guy
2. Get him into hood health
3. Get him trained in survival
4. Split the proceeds with him

The thing that gets these guys is the loneliness and missing their family. You get homeless guy that has no attachments and you're golden. Could also replace the homeless guy with a Buddhist monk.

This season is a bit slower than the others, but my favorite thing is watching them build their shelters and fireplaces...some great and different designs from person to person and season to season.

Three things in life are certain:
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Not catching a damn thing in a fish trap.

And that one dude already lost 50lbs in a month?

Dude started out at over 3 bills.

That dude isn't going anywhere. Has a job that he hates, and I can't even tell that he has lost weight.

Put house lady can't seem to figure out why it's windy right by the lake.

I think Nate checked out when he lost that big bull trout. Everyone seems to get sick about the time they reach their mental limit.

Pit house lady complaining about wind is hilarious.

I was yelling at Clay to smoke only a quarter of the meat now and do the rest in batches later in case of bear.

At least the latest fish trap was big, but I am not convinced about his "bouy". The trap seemed to still be taking line and he just had a couple of little sticks on the end. I would have tied that thing to something a bit easier to find.

Fatboy will go to the end if he can keep catching fish on lures. Being 300+ lbs to start is kind of unfair.

I am intrigued by Rose. She's made it this far, and doesn't seem to be having much trouble. She hasn't had much screentime, so I think she has just been doing boring, efficient survival stuff. That gives me hope for her to get to the last 3.

I keep thinking that pit house lady will figure out that she needs a chimney that can get wind from all directions to draw properly. She could fix her fire/smoke problem by getting a chimney exposed above her root line.

My only fear for either of the ladies is that they started out fairly skinny and neither has been shown to do much but some gathering. That gathering is going to be gone once the snow sets in. I am not sure they can hold out without a food source.

When pit-houser dug her pit right off the lake, I told my wife she was in for a bumpy ride with the way that wind will be blowing off the water and later, the ice. I guess we will see.

I wouldn't be shocked if bone-nose just lays there singing his tunes while everyone else starves off their meager body weight and he still has 50 lbs to lose. He may be the last one just because of attrition.
