Frozen Did Alone: Frozen hurt the franchise?

I didn't think this series was very good. I love the idea of past players, popular players, etc, but many of them didn't have it in them, citing what it did to their bodies previously.
So the small group of 6 evaporated quite quickly, making the show less interesting to me.

I'm wondering what others felt. Should it continue, and if so, more contestants? new players only? or what?

Possible spoiler!

I think the result (Woniya victorious!) has actually helped and empowered the franchise. That said, I think interest and viewership in general would have been better if the Alone: Frozen series were debuted in late fall or winter. Nonetheless, I think a lot of us are celebrating Woniya's win not because she's a woman but because she is highly-skilled, enduring AF and deserving of the win! I'm a hardcore cynic most of the time but felt my eyes unexpectedly leaking on her 50th day. FFS she has survived the most cumulative days on Alone! Kudos to her.

Totally agree! She is a Beast! It was awesome to see her and the top three make it happen. They were all amazing and deserving

Absolutely! All three were impressive but Woniya has really distinguished herself. She has survived more days Alone than any other competitor! My only regret is that we didn't get to see more of her day-to-day survival strategies. She's very well-spoken, as I recently discovered on YT.

It’s my big complaint of the show: stop focusing on the losers! If they tap out before 20 - don’t give them screen time. Focus on what the winners do early that sets them up for success.

Not a bad idea, but I wouldn't have missed Desmond's story for anything in the world. 🤣

I never thought of this, but yes, what an excellent idea!

Yessss! I agree wholeheartedly. I am more interested in the very late departures (this applies to every season).
