GlisGlis:
good season
very expert participants
the gals did very well
sure the 100 days goal is hard.
the first seasons were starving endurance races. last seasons are more about getting enough food to set a solid camp

Marc St Louis:
It was an interesting finish.  I kind of wonder if the pulling of Callie was a sexist thing, I hope not.

Another point of interest for me was how at the beginning it claimed that the contestants were harvesting in accordance with local native tradition.  I wonder if they got permission from the locals to harvest this way or if it was all political, it would be nice if it was permission from the locals

JEB:
Mark I don't think pulling Callie was sexist.  Her toe was bad and another toe was starting to be affected by the cold. In her post interview at the end of the show she admitted that she was still having trouble with her toe when it got cold. I am sure the medical staff did the right thing . But again, she was really settle in mentally and I think she would have beat Roland  had she not had frost bite.

HH~:
Frost bite is not just something you get. Its something you have when you ignore what the conditions are doing to your body. Maybe she wanted the $ more than here toes? Whose to say if she had made that choice or that it was wrong? Was hers to make, right! You can live without a few toes. Frostbite does not kill you fast.
Why should medical team pull you for frostbite of a few toes? They had to include that prospect in their risk assessment of doing a cold weather survival reality show. And. . . if that was going to be the case, either issue cold boots or do a Jungle show.

What folks will do for $ and giggles.

Alas, I did watch 20min one evening.

Marc St Louis:
I've had frostbite before, several times actually and it's not pleasant.  One time I got my feet wet in the winter and I was a few miles from home.  When I pulled my boots off there was ice in my socks, not fun.
