Review of Alone

Alone (2015– )
5/10
Was pretty good up until season 8.

Besides the terrible, cheesy, repetitive, 2000's reality tv editing this show is pretty incredible.

Seriously, save yourself 30mins out of an hour long episode by streaming (not watching live, I can't imagine how boring that would be), and fast forwarding through the repetitive recap, intro, post commercial break, and post episode ramblings. Basically skip the fat and get right to the meat of the show.

The previous seasons (1-7) were amazing. Season 8 should be captioned The Bum Fight: watch 10 people who need money try to survive the longest at a fishless lake, in a land abundantly occupied by an unhuntable predator.

Seriously, It's gone from a survival skill show to a glorified bum fight. "Who needs the money the money bad enough to push themselves to the brink of starvation to win a chunk of money."

Pair it with the terrible, terrible cheesy editing and this season has taken my favorite show and made it nearly unwatchable.
