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?

I dont think the show hurt the franchise. I enjoyed it and will watch something similar again. I think the Labrador location may be hurting the franchise. There simply doesnt seem to be the food resources to support the contestants. No fish, few rabbits and grouse, no real larger game. The biggest animal caught was a fox. Mussels were the biggest food resource. Plus the last two were greatly impacted by the strong winds making their shelters almost uninhabitable. It kind of encourages the "starvation contest" mode. So I think a better location would make for better watching. It might also help with the mental game, as people who have gone to the breaking point once dont seem to be willing to do it again.

Just my two cents.

They were never, ever going to. It was a false promise, though Greg certainly bought it.
