I laughed my ### off when Matt went into his rant about people eating pretzels and potato chips watching him starve for ENTERTAINMENT! Hysterical, lol. Then to add insult to injury he literally tips over a hornist nest and gets stung, lol. Now THAT'S entertainment, lol.I found myself at times admiring Matt's perspective on life. Sadly, I more often found myself convinced he has mental issues.
The producers allowed a guy with only 37% of his heart functioning and he taps after 5 days. Then they have an exoskeleton woman with an EATING DISORDER who doesn't last 25 days AND a guy with 3 back surgeries who taps at the same time. Oh and lets but a guy from the topics who doesn't wear shoes or take a fire starter who is also exoskeletal and watch him starve and flail away. Lets toss in a tear jerk story about a guy who lost his 2 year old and see him go insane.
If that wasn't enough place them in griz territory and not let them hunt them, take away gill nets for 45 days, take away the ability to hunt squirrels, and if you noticed no-one is setting snares. Why? They aren't allowed to use metal wires to set snares. Don't ask me why. The only things they can hunt are, grouse, rabbits but good luck finding any and no wire snares, fish, and a very-limited population of deer.
Clay had the HUGE advantage heading in since his forte is hunting deer with a bow. He has it down to a science and they did an excellent job showing how he scoped out the immediate vicinity to his shelter and found all of the down timber. If anyone has ever crossed something like that... let me tell ya it took me over 20 minutes to get 80 feet into some jack-strawed fire-downed timber and I nearly broke a leg. Their was no way he could hunt in that crap.
He figured it out and found limited sign about 3 miles from his camp. He took down the buck 2.5 miles from camp and humped the carcass back-and-forth in griz territory. ENORMOUS effort and knowledge to get that venison.
The only challenger who stands a shot in hell is Colter especially if his fish trap works so he can passively reap benefits of his uber-cool hand made boat.
Still want to see how the pit house fairs in cold climes and it looks like Biko takes a bad tumble in the teaser for next week so I hope he doesn't get severely injured or is forced to tap for that reason.
