In late July, producers of The History Channel’s hit survival/reality show Alone debuted a spinoff series that promised to be an even greater test of grit and wilderness skill than the original format.

Quinoñez drank water straight from the river and built an impressive […]
My partner and I binged every season of the History Channel’s reality TV show Alone during the early days of the pandemic and have kept up with new seasons as they’ve dropped.

Following in the footsteps of celebrity narrators like Morgan Freeman and Sigourney Weaver, […]
Let’s pour one out for the crafty and creative contestants on Alone. (Spoilers ahead.) On Friday’s eighth episode, the show bid adieu to two of my favorite cast members from season nine: Tom Garstang and Jessie Krebs.
