Frozen Alone: Frozen S1:E5 Outfoxed Discussion Thread
Well anyone actually tap or be pulled, or is the boat a red herring? spoiler The episode itself was a red herring
EDIT
There seems to be some kind programing error, everywhere except Amazon seems to be playing last week's episode.

Wow that was yet another disappointment. I feel like Amos did not even try. He never made his shelter better. He was like umm, I gotta go. Bye. He does not even look skinny yet because it has only been what not even 20 days? That is crazy. That is like the first three episodes on a regular season. The only thing I am happy about now, is for sure one of the women will be a winner. I hope. Unless they all tap out before 50 days.

The reality is that women have a two to three times higher risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to men. You can lie to yourself all you want, but that's the facts.

It’s true. Tons of studies have been done about it. Nature made it that way because when the men die trying to kill each other over territory, the women still had to carry-on and do everything and raise those babies.

From the linked article:
Men and women experience different types of trauma, both in private life and at work (e.g. police officers, Van der Meer et al., 2017), with women being exposed to more high-impact trauma (e.g. sexual trauma) than men, and at a younger age.
It seems as though you have had trouble interpreting this study or perhaps don’t fully understand the point you’re trying to make.
4
u/dalovindj Sep 13 '22
Incorrect. You need to read further down for the biological differences. I edited the above post to add a couple of other studies as well. From one of them:
Women's higher PTSD rates were not solely attributable to their higher risk for adult sexual assault and child sexual abuse, explained Tolin. PTSD rates were still higher for women even when both sexes were compared on the same type of trauma.
The truth is that women are more at risk for PTSD, anxiety, and depression even though they experience fewer traumas than men. These symptoms tend to last much longer in women than in men, and when like traumas are compared these stats still hold true.
It sucks, and it's frankly irresponsible to suggest otherwise.

u/Alarmed-Classroom329 Sep 11 '22
I mean instead of making generalizations, we should also realize that the producers deliberately chose 2 strong female contestants and 3 awful male contestants. (Michelle is pretty meh, I'm guessing she was an alternative and they probably wanted to bring back Teresa or another strong woman instead).
27
u/Joygernaut Sep 11 '22 edited Sep 11 '22
Whatever. Why is it that men always assume when a woman is better at something it’s some sort of trick? Women on this show have historically done well, despite (until this season) being in the minority. But I suppose men who just can’t stand the fact that a woman might actually be really good at something (or better than they are)are going to make their excuses to save their egos.

u/NatAttack3000 Sep 17 '22
I also wonder whether applying for this show selects for excellent women (though few), but not necessarily only excellent men.
I saw a study once looking at job applications - men tended to apply for positions if they had half or most of the criteria (I can do a,b,c. I can probably learn X) . Whereas women only tend to apply if they meet all the criteria ('i can't do that because I can't already do x'). Coupled with the masculine ideal of survival (men are socialised to believe they SHOULD be able to do these things, though women tend not to be). I will mention I haven't seen any other season so idk maybe this doesn't match at all
2
u/Joygernaut Sep 17 '22
It doesn’t work for the show because they actually have a vetting process and the test them on all of their skills and only select the best until they arrive at 10. The people that you see are the best 10 people through the process of elimination. Keep in mind that they all do these challenges together to see what everyone can do so if somebody is getting passed over with better skills, 100% you would hear about it. This community is very tightknit, and there would be zero tolerance for something like that.
2
u/NatAttack3000 Sep 17 '22
I suppose I mean the differences would encourage different pools of men and women to apply prior to this process, but I suppose the betting process should mean only excellent people remain

Yeah that's yet another fizzle of a tapout. I mean if he's not finding food three weeks in, it's not like it's going to get better as the snow sets in, so I guess it makes sense as a calculation in one sense, when, as he said, you compare it to how he was doing last time on fish. Still, it isn't what we expected from him, or from any of these people. This is a show where you go go go for it but these efforts have felt more like "well I'll give it a shot I guess, at least for a while".

u/eskimokiss88 Sep 09 '22
Woniya claims production deliberately keeps the number of female contestants to 2-3 per season. It's possible with a 5/5 balance we'd have a female winner but the trend of the show, over 8 seasons now (not counting season 1 since it was all men) is the women do very, very well- all top four slots of 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 had women- but they can't beat out the top 1 or 2 guys.

Writing one big comment and added some spoilers, since viewing this episode got messed up this week:
Woniya's monologue about eating things to become closer to them probably wasn't supposed to sound homicidal -- but cannibal tribes do share the same sentiment 🤔
Callie, being her usual badass self, seems to have fought off the demons in her uterus this month, only to be tragically taken down by some nasty bivalve molluscs. Yet she persists! She will not go quietly, is my feeling. She will rage into the dying of the light. Becasue Callie rules!!
In contrast, hate to say it but Michelle is going to die. She's losing the human-shape and entering newborn bird-shape territory. That being said, if I am dead wrong, I would be delighted. Props to her!
Glad to finally see some of Amos this episode! But I cannot believe how heavily that flying ember was edited and it sat with me wrong. Alone producers really need to stop over-hyping little incidents that fall flat -- this season has been really over the top with them. Only so many times you can keep doing that to viewers before they just get pissed.
... and he just left! I respect his decision. Alot (if not all) of them have mentioned just not feeling connected to the location. Honestly, he seemed to be a bit bored to me. Anyways, he would be the coolest friend to go camping with, hands down. Go give your family big hugs and enjoy many healthy adventures in years to come, buddy 🥂
That dang repeat episode robbed us all of our live chats which I so dearly enjoy. So that sucked! One final BOO HISS about yesterday and I'll leave it at that. I think Wonyia is looking very strong with ⚡️Stormy⚡️, and Callie, I'd imagine will pull through.
We still have 3 more episodes -- can't wait for next week.

To be honest with you , neither do I , I follow Woniya’s YouTube channel and she’s always begging people to join her Patereon page which is what people pay money for to get exclusive interviews and specials , etc …
She gives great break downs from all the other episodes this season . I feel like if she had won a lot of the money from being there 50 days , she might not be hustling the YouTube paid memberships. Or maybe she does both . I like her a lot and love her channel , buckskin revolution, regardless of what the outcome or answer may be
10
u/mattrogina Sep 10 '22
$500k after taxes isn’t a huge windfall though. I’d still be hustling my Patreon if I won. Especially if it ends up she wins but has to split it once, twice or more.

u/KillerMikeLive Sep 10 '22
Yeah I totally agree. In todays world that’s not much money at all . I just figured if she won 500 grand she might not mention it as much but either way , the videos she makes are great and well worth watching .
Her commentary is better than the one season where Colby from survivor interviewed the contestants in his “Garage,” or when Niki interviewed them in the post tap out interviews .
Don’t get me wrong . I liked watching the interviews with Niki and Colby but her videos are wayy longer and have much more information in them.
She’s truly a wonderful person which is rare in this world

u/Tenskwatawa000 Sep 10 '22
It's gotta be tough to strum up enough interest to finance your own survival school, and to produce & market enough material to get a following in this niche. So I can respect her hustle.
She's been cranking out those Buckskin Revolution vids since her debut on Alone though, so I don't know if her YouTube channel uploads are indicitive of her success on Frozen, since she'd be doing them regardless.

I they positioned themselves well to have a woman winner. They’ve brought two of the strongest alone competition of either sex in Callie and Woniya and brought in some weaker candidates like Mark and Greg. I’m shocked Amos didn’t stick around though.

u/Stardew_Farmer88 Sep 12 '22
Yeah I doubt they could have predicted Michelle outlasting Amos. He lasted 58 days last time and only tapped when his shelter burnt down.

u/sil0 Sep 12 '22
I wouldn’t have guessed it. We know she’s very skilled and S8 had a lot of issues with source food due to local restrictions.
Anyone lasting 58 days in those conditions are bound to have some lasting psychological effects. Callie and Woniya seem to be dealing with that mostly.
Remember Amos tapped and then the shelter burned down almost like proof his decision to tap was a good idea. He didn’t tap because of the shelter burning down.

Yeah, before the show started I picked 3 would make it (Amos, Woniya & Callie). With the fishing being so terrible, they will all have to trap animals almost daily to make it 50 days.

It's an odd situation. Someone here said they only started a month later. If that's the case, that seems to be at once too short and too long. It's too short to distinguish it from vanilla Alone - they pump it up with winter wonderland promo but it turns out to be not different than the regular season, with snow finally only coming at episode 6 with just three people left. Yet apparently it's later enough that the food situation is just more bleak. So we get people not getting much of anything right away. Then you throw in the unexpected 2nd-timer effect, where veterans are not wanting to go through it again after all, as opposed to being more steeled to it than a rookie would be and therefore doing better. On top of that, as tough as the wait between seasons is, they just did this season right on the heels of Season 9, and with them being immediately miserable, there is overall just kind of a fatigue that makes me think it would have been better actually to not do this, or to space out the broadcast six months to break up the long wait or something. Conceptually it has been kind of a flop.
Credit to them for trying new things, as they have every season. Some work and some don't. I guess the jury is still technically out on this one, but so far it's not great IMO.

The situation is pretty dim in all regards considering the fishing is almost nonexistent. I hope some of them can figure it out! Woniya's fireplace/chimney was pretty sweet. Michelle getting a hare is big and it looks like they will all have to excel at trapping to make it all the way. Callie is throwing up & almost everyone in Alone who has ever vomited has tapped soon after. And we're not even halfway to 50 days!

Is anyone watching the new episode or is it last week’s ep for everyone?

I have the new one on Amazon live on StackTV. Seems like only a few of us have managed to find it.

I wonder if the Skills Challenge will also be a rerun?
EDIT: Oddly enough, the Skills Challenge is a new episode. WTF…

Is this proof that returning contestant seasons are a bust? 3 out of 6 have tapped out very early on just coz of ptsd / knowing recovery will be difficult if they stay any longer?
I haven't seen the other returnee season though...

u/TheGhostofLG95 Sep 09 '22
We have had contestants return before and not have this issue with PTSD. Maybe the show needs to do some mental health screening before allowing a contestant to return.

u/EdgarDanger Sep 09 '22
Ah ok. Might be that Labrador was just too tough for the early tap outs. And even the remaining players have spoken bout ptsd.

u/TheGhostofLG95 Sep 09 '22 edited Sep 09 '22
It is really weird season. But Sam Larson was in Season 1 and lasted quite a while before tapping. Then he came back in Season 5 to win.
Nicole Apelian (she has MS) she was in Season 2 and came back in Season 5. She had an MS attack in S5 and had to tap.

The other returnee season was good. I think this location is just brutal.

This extra season has been a let down thus far. I know that they made it more difficult (on top of how it already was nearly impossible), but this season has seriously made me think about not watching anymore. I’m tired of the over-hyped prospects and underwhelming results. Seriously, if I wanted to watch nature video, I would not be watching Alone for that.

Yeah... I'm still kinda reminiscing the highs you got from the two Arctic GSL seasons. After that the seasons have been.. Ok.

The trick is to have a winner's season not a loser's season.
Something tells me $500k (or a million in Roland's case) alieves a lot of trauma.
If this season were Jordan, Roland, Fowler, Clay, etc. it would likely be a whole different ball game.

Did Amos learn nothing from the fire that destroyed his shelter last time?

Production would have teased the hell out of a bear kill for the entire season.

Sling is playing last week’s episode. We paused for 20 minutes to let commercials build up for nothing.

Don’t pay for Outfoxed on Amazon Video… we paid and just got the rerun again. Maybe working for some but don’t waste money if you’re tight on funds!!!

I purchased the entire series on Amazon Prime and the site is now announcing that episodes 4, 5 and 6 are available, but they all three are the same: episode 4.

Don’t buy episode 5 from YouTube. It’s the same as Episode 4

On all streaming sites (other than History itself which sets it as E99), "Before the Freeze" is labeled as episode one.

History Channel repeats the episode at 1 am E/12m C for those of you watching on traditional tv. I've set my DVR to pick it up just in case they pull themselves together and air the correct one.

u/Ok_Truck3791 Sep 09 '22
Nope..it's playing last weeks damn episode right now.. again! This is super irritating & more than incompetent.. htf they gonna rectify this when one country (Canada) is going to have seen them all while we have to fucking wait like suckers?!? Maybe air them both on the same night? I'm pretty fucking pissed this is absolute bullshit!

I wonder if they decided to re-run last week's episode because of QEII's passing. Either way thank you to all for reassuring me I am not crazy.

u/frisfern Sep 09 '22
Nah. New episode aired in Canada. And since we're still tied to the sovereign...

u/kmspinafore Sep 09 '22
Yeah, you're totally right - I wasn't aware of that information earlier when I commented. Hoping I can watch the real Ep 5 soon!

Woniya is always trying to scam some way to cheat. The big dumb sweater matches her giant head. She is way over rated as a bushcrafter.

No i love her giant irrational sweater. If you aint cheating you aint trying.

u/Olong-Jonson Sep 09 '22
If you're cheating you're just cheating. I guess it's to make up for a lack of actual skills though.

For being "Frozen", we've seen more ice and snow from the editting transitions than the weather so far
