It actually amazed me she held it together fairly well through a rough bout with her menstrual cycle situation. In fact, I expect she must have known that she'd be deep into crap survival circumstances right when it was due, & that she's prone to difficulties with it.... And she came anyway.

Something like that looming in the back of my head might psych me out. She had more backbone than him, was smarter than him & ballsier. Did you see the way she charged through the reef at that eel?

Last point about Guy #3's lameness. Credit where it's due. He made it the whole way, & pulled his crap together, & I have to accept that we only see 42 minutes of a 21 day experience. So I'm sure he's thinking he got misrepresented, by having all the lamest things he did getting put in the show, meanwhile all her awesomeness was featured. Nevertheless though, for a military man. He was pretty stupid, & how he got represented is actually fitting since imo he misrepresented himself to get put on a survival expert show in the first place

Future episodes have some equally hot woman survivalists coming too. yay!

Just watched it again now that it's online. It's occurred to me one thing that we don't see much of & would make it a better show. It's not really a survival education show like Dual Survivor is. Guys like Cody Lundin & Les Stroud are purposefully informative. Survival stuff gets mentioned on this show, because it's so much a part of their day, but it seems to take a back seat to interpersonal drama more than it should

There's a few minutes of bonus footage on the website that highlights a bit of their skills better, but the loss is in missing out on seeing how truly good or not the participants are. As I watched this episode over again. I noted a lot of things that they had done which never got mentioned. That girl scavenged that island magnificently, finding cordage, containers to cook with, clothes & shoes. She also was tremendously skillful in creating useful objects out of nothing but foliage. Their shelter withstood a massive 2 or 3 day storm, & they swam to rescue using a flotation device that she had weaved from palm frawns, & loaded it with a big cache of plastic water bottles.

There's a few videos up of next week's couple, & the woman looks to outshine the guy again & she's super hot as well, whereas he looks like a redneck rube with a beer gut, & for some reason some of the men end up being unabashed chauvinists, at least at first. I don't get that. If there's one thing a woman has the potential to do as well as a man, it's finding ways to not die

Edit: Holy crap. Hula girl replied to my comments on their bio pages. I IMed Naked Hula Girl! W00T!

Girl #4 has a slamming posterior. I mean... My oh my, my goodness

And apparently guy #4 thinks surviving in the wild entails no hunting. "Whoa! Look at that big fat meal sized, non-venomous snake. I'm gonna steer clear of it." Guy # 1 killed the MOST venomous snake in his immediate area, just so he could eat. Get with the program, Dude. Nature don't have room service

If I'm going to be completely honest, none of these people are really surviving, they're spending 3 weeks starving, living off cocoanuts & berries. It's a miracle if they score one or 2 successful hunts or grabs in their entire time. I think the biggest scores I've seen so far are either slamming girl's 2 little lobsters, or hippie lady's 3 crotch trap catfish. They need to serve up a meal's worth of dead things at least once a day, per person, in order to call it surviving, (& supplement it with wild growing edibles) because the truth is that they managed to not die for 3 weeks. They didn't support themselves as they would have to, in order to survive there

& if you read between the lines of these 42 minutes of clips that they've selected from their over 3000 minutes of time in the wild, a good deal of that time, they are mostly flat on their back or even face down in the muck from exhaustion

Still fun tv though :lol:

I was attracted to her face more than anything. I thought she was pretty hot. Great body too! Like I said earlier, I just couldn't concentrate with women like that.

My first thought when we saw that snake, "Oh good, some meat!". I actually thought he'd try to kill it for food. Silly me.

They guy brought goggles (idiot move btw.. knife or fire). He obviously knew that his best bet for chow was in the ocean, yet he fled like a little girl when they tried to get some food and he dogged the girl for making a lobster trap. "Oh this is just ridiculous", his common refrain. That place was literally crawling with food. They had the best opportunity yet.

Agreed. Evan after about 20 days or so (yes, I get that this show is 21) the other guy who was on the island for 60 days started to actually thrive. And he didn't have a knife or a fire source to help him along.

Cody, Dave, Bear, Mykel... all of them manage to get chow within a few days.

I kind of half guessed that people would build shelters AND fire the moment they get wherever they're going (the base camp). Do that while you have energy. Not wait until hours later. Oh and bring fire, not friggin goggles. I would have also built a raised shelter in an environment like that. No point in tempting fate with bugs, snakes, rats and caymans.

Yeah, you might not want to hang around in the sea too long with the predators there, but her traps were a good, & actually fruitful idea, & worth a quick risk. Stupid of him to dismiss that. Best idea either of them came up with. They also should have set about as many land traps too in the vicinity, to increase their odds of getting small game, which I bet was everywhere there

I don't know why, but we didn't actually see them go on any kind of hunt but once, & didn't hunt anything.

Basically, with the time they had, 2 sea traps, 2 land traps, a couple hours or so a day for active hunting or fishing (Which ever seems more worthwhile), & frankly, after about a week of wild edibles & small critters, a plan should be hatched to get at least one big game score. Naked Castaway guy lasted 60 days because he was lucky & grabbed up a trapped goat, big game which sustained him a long time

Sadly, the only big game I saw on this Panamanian Island were those nasty Caiman. Probably too dangerous to go head to head with one of those & just a frog gigging stick like he had. Do you think it could've been possible to bait one into a ramped pit with a trap door & capture it? An adult gator would make some serious calories

Traps are great, they work for you while you're gone & can be reused. Redneck boy didn't set any at all, & yes, he should have brought a magnesium stick or something. They got brutalized by bugs for over a week because they struggled so long without fire, & the thing he brought he didn't even use in any meaningful way

Another observation about Guy #4. He is unfamiliar with ocean food gathering & trapping. He's unfamiliar with Egyptian bow drill. He set no traps at all. He hunted nothing & he doesn't even understand that the tide will rise & engulf their short beach. How is this guy a survival expert? An expert should have as varied a knowledge of wilderness survival as possible. It seems like I know more than this guy & I just watch tv shows about it.

So I have to wonder. If these guys, who do so terrible on this show, are career survival instructors, how detrimental to their business of survival instruction is their appearance on the show? I'd think some of these guys would be a laughing stock in the world of survival courses. They could be ruining themselves as survival instructors. lol

Yeah, no shit.

The tide thing was amazing. How do you not realize that?

Of course, he said he's never been outside of the US, I'd wager he's never left his "tri-state area", either.

I still wonder if they could have trapped an adult caiman with a pit of some kind

Hell, even a deadfall, Schwarzenegger "Predator" style. lol

That's weird, I was just repeating what the show implied

This week's couple were a bad combo of crap luck, & dimwittedness. They neglected their fire after having to struggle to get one in the 1st place. The rain forest is no place for stupid like that

And don't even get me started on Chupacabra, or whatever his moronic name was. Lol

Weird. I do know that they usually rerun the previous week's episode just prior to the new one & call it "Uncensored" Which doesn't mean uncensored, it just means a couple bonus scenes, & a buttload of stupid tweets. It didn't play right after Indiana Redneck's episode? Do you not get it on the same night I do?

Eventually they put it up on their website, but good lord they take forever. It's bloody Tuesday & they still haven't got the full episode up, only 3 or 4 bonus videos, from the episode

Edit: Ah! I found their schedule page again. It says it'll be on tonight

I don't have cable, so I have to wait for them to put it up on their site.

I refuse to pay for cable. It kills me that I have to go to Comcast for my interwebs.
