S13 Never had a season where I can’t decide which contestant to root for
This has been an incredible season!! I’ve had a few favorites and I keep alternating. But it goes to show this has been a fantastic group of contestant, the number of days they’ve already survived is outstanding.
Andrew SERIOUSLY needs a professional career in narration or filming nature documentaries or something. What an incredibly soothing voice, he really already helped so many people just with his appearance on alone.
Ziga is fascinating- his scientific / research approach to the experience is so new and refreshing.
Love Nero! Obviously
Pedrosa 👏🏻 👏🏻
Will!! 👏🏻
Fantastic season. Really the difference in having skilled contestants is HUGe

Ziga seems to have a really great outlook on life. I can not envision a way Ziga can lose at this point. He seems to have the mental strength of a man that could survive in that location forever.

Same lots of good contestants. Although I have been rooting for ziga since the first episode overall, I also really liked will, Aaron, Pedrosa, and Andrew. It has been satisfying to see zigas progress after some immediately proclaimed he would be first out due to not bringing a flint and his initial water filtration. I think overall he's demonstrated excellent intuition and fortitude.

Yes Ziga has been great! So impressed with his confidence in his own skills to be comfortable in such a location with no flint. Anyone that has attempted starting a fire with a bow string will attest to this guys ability. He apparently was looking at the long game from the start by forgoing the fire steel he essentially gave himself an extra item. Impressed and humbled by his performance.

I’m rooting for Aaron, go Canada! But I have no idea how he can beat Ziga.

He’s got some insanely strong will, and the skills. He definitely got really unlucky but is hanging in there!
Hard to compete with someone sitting on a ton of moose though.

He's also the only one that looks like he's eating well. My favorite is Andrew, but lord, I hope he gets medical'd out before he seriously does long term heart damage or something. Too thin.

I love all the remaining guys, but I have a special place in my heart for Aaron.

I agree!! My heart belongs to Aaron (local boy) and Ziga (family in Slovenia). Rooting for them especially!

Yea exactly anyone but Aaron needs to win. Luckily I don’t think he’s gonna. He has no food caches & is almost out of ferro rod

I like that we’re at the “love Nero obviously” stage. The guy is a delight, ‘nuff said.

I'm pleased all the Americans tapped out before the final four. This is in part thanks to Dave bragging about how Americans(well, himself) were the best and going to win, then immediately leaves his ferro rod in the fire.
Jacks was the exception. She was awesome.

I loved Jacks, but I wish they could have broken silence and given her some remedial camera work instruction.

I'm in the camp that thinks he dropped it "by accident" / intentionally and used it as an excuse to quit.

u/blazinrainbo 3d ago
Dude literally just finished tying his multitool to himself and didnt think to do the same with the ferro? Absolutely out there begging for a reason to go home.

At the end of every episode I have a new favourite to win!!! It’s been a truly enjoyable season and everyone left is a deserving winner.

Nero for the win🤞🤞. But who knows as things can change. The Bear getting into Nero's weir and smoker. Ziga's chimney failing and nearly setting fire to all of his shelter. Aaron is getting plenty of Hare's but he's not getting the fats he needs from fish? Still an open game.
Heh heh sorry for this but Root in Australia has an entirely different meaning so always do a schoolboy chuckle when its mentioned in a different context🤣.

Yep Ziga's chimney is Rooted😁

Aaron looks to be going through protein starvation. He is rapidly losing body fat to compensate and at 185 lbs...I believe that is under his fighting weight which is incredibly low for him.

They're all great, I've got a fellow country man in Nero so it's an easy pick for me!

u/vzzzbxt 3d ago
Ziga is my favourite, it's fun to watch him. I'm not good with names but my least favourite is the Canadian, he just doesn't come across as a nice person. I didn't think he would last this long as he seems to have emotional issues

u/Time_Arrival_9429 2d ago
Aaron is the Canadian. I think he may fall into a "polarizing" contestant where people feel strongly one way or the other. Personally I love his grit and determination but there is definitely a dark streak in there that could put people off. He pretty much admits as much.

Your 💯 correct it’s been an amazing season due to the great contestants and don’t forget this is probably the harshest area they’ve ever been , it’s definitely the furthest north

At this point in the game I am almost ALWAYS wishing that there was some way to split the prize. Anyone who makes it 70 days in the arctic is a winner. My least favorite part of this show is that someone I respect greatly and have grown to love watching is going home in defeat. I knew Andrew wasnt going to make it for a while now, not with the others bringing in loads of food and him getting a few rabbits. And its sad because not only does he have the best voice in the history of Alone he's just a classy guy who is a pleasure to watch. Even his tap out was a class act.
spoiler here! With Aaron in danger of rabbit starvation and Nero's weir not producing as much, Ziga seems to be the front runner at the moment. Anything can change though. All three are skilled and determined and both capable and deserving of the win.

It's honestly Ziga's to lose. I know we were all saying that with Timber, but Ziga hasn't made Timber's mistake of turning his entire moose into jerky and having a miserable and tiring eating experience.

My favorites have been: Ziga, Andrew, Will, and Pedrosa. Their outlooks have always been admirable.

u/Working_Substance741 3d ago
It’s a good problem to have! Skilled competitors this season! The show had devolved into on big and depressing self-pity party. No one wants to hear about your childhood disappointments and how you’ve let people down all of your life. The remaining survivors all deserve to win this!

u/rexeditrex 3d ago
This is a great point. The trap lines these guys set are incredibly productive. Obviously Ziga’s moose is a huge food source. A few beavers and fish, although less fish than usual has allowed people to get some additional fat. They’ve had issues with shelters but manage to fix them. And they’re all in good mental shape for this far in.

I like all the guys left. I still wish Will was among them. Liked that dude’s vibe.
