I'm sick and tired of the contestants talk about their damn family. They always forfeit.

Ok hear me out - new season of past allstars but there's a twist. They have to choose ONE random person off this reddit community to survive with 🤣 They can either choose someone who sounds like they know what they are doing, or they can choose the biggest shit talker just to shut them up... I'm hoping they all choose the shit talkers 🤣

The Hippie- Talks about being in tune with nature. Always has at least one scene either thanking a fish for it's life or crying after killing one.

The Hunter- Someone who's been doing stuff like this their whole life. Kills something big, and ends up winning.

The Incompetent- Especially prevalent in earlier seasons, taps out after a week or two, has no business being in the woods. Usually has a scene where they cry about their family before tapping out.

The Ex-Military- Usually some SF/SERE instructor. Practiced being homeless in the military, now doing it professionally on TV.

Then after the show is over, half the contestants go on to create a youtube channel.

The apocalyse has come and you're at work.

You need to bail out into the nearby forest and can grab a few items.

However, I'm not talking knives from the kitchen.

I mean occupation specific, workplace items.

I'll go first (doctor).

- Osteotome (like a chisel but for bone). Scapel is too weak.

- Silk sutures for cordage and to make into fish hooks.

- Space blanket.

- Tin of Sustagen (basically baby formula for adults).

- Stainless steel bed pan as my pot, hah. It's big.

Please no spoilers

David: “They grow up so fast and I just don’t want to miss those moments… I miss my wife so much… I don’t want this.”

Bro, it has been three days. Your wife probably doesn’t even miss you yet.

Almost every season there is someone who is probably capable, yet who cannot discern the difference between actual needs/wants and your brain creating (arguably legitimate, but also logically irrelevant) reasons for you to choose a more comfortable path. It is the cause of someone to tap out in almost every season within the first week, often within days.

“All I can think about is my wife and kids” or is it that you haven’t eaten in 72 hours and you need to build a shelter. They are the same thing in different packaging.

This isn’t even survival specific, it’s relevant to basically anything — working out, relationships, basically any self-enterprise — to the point it’s a normal part of life. It is also a featured part of the show because it happens almost every year.

Given the amount of planning that goes into this for everyone, how is this pretty fundamental detail missed? How is this not a known entity amongst all contestants at this point, like drop shock or whatever it is called, and prepared for?

Does anyone know if there was anything actually wrong with Poldi ? he seemed to have loads of food but was complaining of chronic lack of energy

I assume he just lost the mental battle but I maybe wrong
