Alone again.
sleek:
Hopefully this new version gets poor Mark's and they go back to the original version.
DC:
Is it a replacement for "Alone" or is it a spin off?

I don’t know DC. They had trailers for more of this Beast style they showed. I’m hoping they do like sleek said and switch back to original Alone style. I’m thinking this is what we get for this season.

It totally takes away the biggest question. Who’s still in this? How long can I go before I tap? What do I need to do to make it in the long haul?
Now I just have to survive 30 days with this moose someone else shot for me. I’m not saying it’s easy, don’t get me wrong. But I’d much rather see the contestants dropped off separately or even in pairs, but with their 10 objects and see who adapts and sticks it out for who knows how long? I think they took away the one question that made it the most interesting show. It always surprised me who tapped and for what reasons. Many times I didn’t see it coming at all. Other times I didn’t think someone would last a week and they went to the end.

I'm pretty sure it's 'the how long' that's driven the change. Too many contestants were pushing themselves to the the breaking point and it was getting dangerous. Add to that the PTSD symptoms a lot of them had after (a few of them talked about it in season 5). I do think something needed to change, I just think they went a bit far off of what made Alone great. The first episode was good though and I'll watch more, it just wasn't as good as the original.
sleek:
Perhaps they could restructure it to be where they do a body mass index every week, with a goal of being the last to hit a certain percentage. Say, a person lost 6% of their mass, but you cant loose more than 5% they are out. That would keep the spirit of the show alive, and keep people healthy.
