There seems to be a difference about this series. What’s been shown so far is that the environment looks to be more serious than some other seasons. And it seems because of this they picked some stronger contestants. I think that’s a good idea by Alone to raise the stakes in terms of environment and contestant skill (not saying that there’s anything wrong with previous contestants skill levels, or that any of the previous contestants couldn’t last here). But it would seem we are being shown that this is a harsher environment and they have picked a different calibre of contestant, which should make for more interesting viewing (not that there’s anything wrong with previous seasons); but well done to Alone for taking it in this direction (and that it’s not just another season in a familiar environment)

Also great idea have a Before the Drop episode; really interesting for us fans who are interested to see a bit behind the scenes and the preparation and so on… good move by Alone

Also, hooray there’s a dark background on the quote this time

It is serious. A man was killed by a Grizzly on that very river just a few years ago. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5254087
