This show disappointed. I watch Alone mostly for the great scenery and to see survivalists display their building and crafting prowess. There was less of the scenery in this series, whether due to what the contestants actually filmed or to its editing. And after the first half, the crafting aspect focused on killing. This series had more talk--including lots and lots of talk about "representing." And along with representing comes the woke mantra of "the bad men wouldn't let me" (as if we're to believe that no male ever taught these women anything). Also this series had a lot more Gaia worship, with multiple speeches about the sanctity of animal life and how mankind abuses the planet, all while the speechifiers went about slaughtering every animal they could find. But worst of all is that the deck seemed gender stacked with men who looked suspiciously weak (suddenly quitting) and/or unskilled (Amós's terrible shelter). NBC owns USA, where Alone runs, so Intersectionality, anyone?
