Aw man, that means they haven't even started filming the next season.  I love that show! The contestants can really surprise you. Some that are so dedicated and push themselves only to tap out at the very end. Some of the contestants annoy the crap out of me - like the one last season who whined and whined every day about his son. He never mentioned the rest of his family or his other kids, only his son. UGH! It's always interesting to see how each person builds their shelter. Does anyone remember the guy who didn't even make it one night? He saw a bear across the beach and said NOPE. I want to say he was former military? putabuttononit we'll have to have a season-long thread when it comes out! It'll be fun to keep up with how your friend is doing  I’ve only seen one season but I remember that guy! Bears are scary even for this Alaska girl Our friend is single and I honestly would be surprised if he doesn’t win it. He’s incredible |

I love that show. Let us know who he is so we can cheer him on. (As long as he isn't one of the "I'm doing it for my family" contestants or one of the really boastful types. They tend to get on my last nerve. LOL) Can you tell us what his "hook" is? Or his "skill?" I don't know what to call it. The think that is either unique about them or a specific skill they have they think will keep them there the longest. He survived an almost unsurvivable situation. I can’t share but it’s well known and a book is being written about it. Besides that, he just has amazing wilderness survival skills and has amazing knowledge about nature etc. He’s also single and not afraid to be in solitary conditions He was here at our house yesterday and I tried not to bug him with questions lol |

Oh, my, there is no way I could do that! I'm probably more OK with being alone than a lot of people, but I need to be able to read or something. (We're leaving out the part that I have no wilderness skills or anything!) This is me exactly. No books = not happening. Or, you know, air conditioning and food 🤣 |

(We're leaving out the part that I have no wilderness skills or anything!) This would totally be me. I was allll in until I saw that you couldn't bring anything to read and the whole camping thing. I mean set me up with running water and my kindle and I can hang on for days. my family would be the ones trying to find me! |

Does anyone remember the episode where a fly or something got stuck in the guy's ear? That set me over the edge, I could NOT imagine living like that (I can't remember if it was a couple of days or hours, but even if it was minutes, I would have been in a panic)

That is amazing! I love that show. It is something I could/would never do. I don't even like to camp for more than a few days  It is impressive how these people do it. I look forward to seeing your friend! |

OP, I’m so excited that at least when the show is streaming, we can root for your friend. And I’m sure they will talk about his story.

I can't imagine the boredom of not having a book. I would be insane in less than 24 hours. |

We've seen most of the seasons, including the season with a team (I called it "Alone-ish"). We usually watch while eating popcorn and drinking wine, criticizing their survival skills.  Definitely let us know when his season is on so we can watch! |
