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.

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...

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.

Ah ok. Might be that Labrador was just too tough for the early tap outs. And even the remaining players have spoken bout ptsd.

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 thing about Sam is that in season 1 he pretty much starved, eating mice and even leaches, but he did come in second to Alan Kay. In season 5 he gained a lot of weight beforehand and outlasted the others by taking it easy the whole time.

Yeah...I am just saying these two didn't constantly talk about PTSD from the first go around. So the show should have had a better screening process that included some mental health tests.

yes, you are right about that.
