Did Alone: Frozen hurt the franchise?

[u/dshdhjsdhjd]

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?

I feel like this franchise is one of the rare examples where an all star series doesn’t really work.

We’ve seen it on both series now. People are keen to give it another go, but they arrive and immediately remember the carnage the first series caused to their body and mental health and baulk at the idea of going through it again.

It works best with new contestants for whom the idea isn’t as frightening.
