Yay!!!! Just one clicked Jump and the prequel Off Course. Love any books that are set in the horse world. After having horses for 45+ years and also working on horse farms other than my own, I can attest to all the broken bones, bumps, bruises & loss associated with horses. But itβs either in your blood or itβs not, because itβs not a lifestyle for the faint of heart, but itβs so worth it!!
I love the sound of these because the author IS a show jumper and has had her fair share of accidents. When they say “write what you know” she sure did!!
Maryse. Alone S7E2 when whatshisname bends over to show us his “knee.” For a really long time. *sigh* I’ll miss him. π
OMG YES!!!!! He had so much potential… and come to find out he really did injure it bad. I was so bummed.
I’m on season 8 now. Still loving it. They are getting better and better each season.
So far season 3 and season 7 are my favorites.
I think Mongolia is my favorite so far. Season 6 is probably my least. The Arctic is just different for some reason.
The hubs refuses to watch the end of episode recaps. Did they talk to the guy who lost his fire starter and tapped out? The one who built the hot tub? In all his frantic searching, he never looked there and the producers never even mentioned him having a fire there.
Yep! You can watch the recaps… no spoilers. π They don’t do it for every season, thank goodness ’cause I didn’t love it, but then I ended up looking forward to it.
They always try a different format with interviews, so I think that’s cool. Season 8, they have someone from one of the other seasons interview after a tap out (but not ALL tapouts). I like the emotion of it since the interviewer has also experienced these levels of wanting to tap.
Hot Tub guy was gonna be MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!!! Damn I was so upset when he left. Yes… I if I remember correctly, they do speak to him. Though I also follow reddit boards for Alone, so I also get their interviews on those too… so I’m never sure if I’m remembering something I read or watched.
But yes… he was definitely a HUGE feature.
Mongolia was great… but I found it almost too easy. Some didn’t even lose weight (or maybe it was the season after? Some barely lost weight), if I can recall. They kept showing serious snow and terrible weather in the intros, but it didn’t seem to get to that cold level.
These arctic seasons are hard to watch with the big game hunting, and I’m a carnivore. The wasted moose last season was horrific and now the ox. π I feel like there needs to be an alternative, but I don’t know what. Maybe go back to Vancouver Island?
Is it wrong I’m rooting for a bear attack? Not a fatal one. Just something painful that lasts until they can pick him up in the morning. πββοΈ
LOL!!! π
Yes I wrote that in another comment somewhere on here… that I felt like a hypocrite being a meat eater, and yet hating to see the animals die.
That’s my only thing I’d rather see a fade to black. Like I don’t mind watching them butcher after the fact, and show us how they use the skins and the bones, and making stews and smoking everything to preserve it. I learn a lot from all of that.
I just don’t want to watch the animals die.
I’m ok with hunting for food, even big game, but these guys aren’t capable of a clean kill with a bow and arrow. Especially when they only carry 1 arrow! It’s inhumane. And you certainly can’t give starving, freezing, mentally impaired people guns…or can you? π€ hmmm…no. That probably wouldn’t end well. They need poisoned arrows. Or arrows with lidocaine. Is that a thing? *runs to trademark lidocaine arrows*
Eeeeeeesh as depressed as some of these contestants get sometimes… when they get those deep down blues and self-reflection. Yeah… no.
LOL on your lidocaine arrows!!
Honestly I’m surprised it isn’t fade to black. You’d think PETA would be all over them. Or maybe they’re hoping for that free advertising?
How’re you doing, R?? How’s your back?
My back is better but whatever it is has moved into my left leg (opposite from where it started). It’s not nearly as bad, but sitting for a long period is difficult. If it doesn’t go away, I’ll have to see a neurologist. Not sure I’m going to make Athens. π
On the bright side, I’m watching lots of Alone! I just have to stand for some of it. ππ Thank you for checking on me! β€οΈ
Season 8 is back in British Columbia but another area (not our usual Vancouver Island). It’s similar but not as plentiful. No crabs so far, no limpets, no seaweed…
