I’m caught up now, seems they are on some pretty productive ground. A fair amount of fish and grouse & squirrel taken so far, but everyone is losing weight quickly.
On of my favorite things to see is the different shelters.

Yep. Although a couple of these contestants went entirely bass-ackwards in my estimation by expending a tremendous amount of energy and calories on building elaborate shelters before they'd secured any real food. Jessie built what looks like one of the neatest structures we've had in awhile, but completely burned through her entire fat reserves doing it. Then, couldn't find any real meat, so stomach issues caused by berries or whatever other greens she was able to scrape up sent her home.
Also, everyone's losing weight despite the absurdly large (for a season of Alone!!!) number of animals because they need carbs. Protein just keeps them in ketosis unfortunately.
One more thing, if I were to ever go on this show*, I wouldn't take a picture of my family with me. I'd keep them in my head, but it just seems like when it gets cold, and tough, and some of these contestants are feeling down, they sit there staring at their photo of their loved ones and when the "I just miss them, and want to be with them, I want to be with my loved ones...." you know that's it, and they're tapping. We see people essentially talk themselves into leaving every single season, and we've already had one or two in this season as well.
* Which I wouldn't, for multiple reasons
