It was the last day of "Alone" last night Ann. The guy that won... it was 500,000 edited- dollars .. lasted 66 Days.

I wanted the woman with MS win, but she came 4th. All 4 of the last contestants outstayed last years winner by 10 days and they were half starved at the end.

Oh gawd Fly.....I wouldn't last a day, I bet he deserved every penny :-D :-D

Yes he did. 3 men all lasted until the day before.

As winter was coming in, food was scarce and one had made a kayak from wood from a tree made into a skeleton and a sheet of tarpauline to cover it all and a wooden bar with washed up plastic bottles as balance.

It worked well for a while, but it capsized. He was soaked in freezing water in all his clothes and his only (up till then) dry boots. Half starved and too weak to get out of the water he tapped out, and who can blame him.

Another was going a bit crazy and had to give in as he thought he would die from hunger.

The winner had to stay an extra day as the last man, and they came to fetch him with his daughter to say he'd won

They were all amazing. The last two were probably the least equipped to survive the longest (and irritating at times, but funny) but needed the money the most.

I think the runner up should have had a decent prize too. Even GS1 said it was unfair.

I was looking to see if I could find it for you to watch the series online for free.

Sky has blocked access to it! :-|

We have just had a text from GS1 who's out with friends at the moment.

He's staying here tonight after all. G's Granny's car has broken down.

Oh crikey....when they were travelling?

JemimaFawr

JemimaFawr Report 28 Jul 2016 20:36

I'm not sure of the circumstances. I'm more inclined to think that the car wouldn't start.

G's Gran owns the Caravan. They were supposed to be staying for a week, but G texted D last night to say they were coming home today.
I hope they didn't break down while travelling cos G's Gran has MS and is in a wheelchair.

It might be an expensive holiday then :-0 :-0

Wonder why they didn't stay the whole week...the weather maybe?
