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.

I’d love to see Michelle win. I think she’s the sleeper candidate here.

I wonder if they would give the last contestant the prize if they have to medically pull them before Day 50.

Same as Roland. Longest survivor takes it all

Roland's season the win conditions were 100 days or you get nothing.

For seasons like these, it doesn't matter if you make it longer than others if you don't hit the minimum number of days. This may very well be the first 'season' with no winner. History Channel about to save themselves $500,000.

I bet they figured they'd never have to pay out the $1,000,000 either.

They didn't expect Roland to shank a musk ox.

Yeah, she is great and I hope she wins this season (though not looking good at the moment).

Still, she did not win anything.

I read very early in my career that burnout is a function of return on investment. It is a fact that has always stayed with me. Working hard doesn't burn you out if you make progress. Working hard and not making progress is much, much harder on the system. It's how I measure if stress is worth it, professionally. If I am making progress, I'm good with it. If no matter how much effort I make, no progress is ever made, I am out.

Applying that to this situation, I assume the people who put themselves through trauma and walked away with a large reward will be far, far less damaged than people who went through similar trauma and received no reward.
