>>2826966I am starting to think so. It is too consistent. I feel like the casting director has 10,000 candidates and after 12 seasons has learned how to pick both the winners and the most ridiculous losers and gives us a mix for entertainment.
>>2826930Extreme food poisoning, sure. As in can't do anything but shoot fluids out both ends endlessly.
I also did a fast for 6 days (while bingeing Alone for the first several seasons). I understand it sucks the wind out of you, but it's manageable.
I also did a 6d backpacking trip where I ended up only getting about 500-800 cal per day while hiking in the mountains, due to a bad batch of granola ruining my supplies. I survived, and it was considerably more work than most contestants do on week 1.
Also didn't see another person for most of it, didn't go insane. Was joyous.
>>2826998They consistently have a macho personality. I'd have to revisit past seasons to go deeper into it. Most people who come on with an attitude wash out quickly.
'Will' also had a lot of ego riding on the show and had to tap early. I do think his tap was legit, but I also doubt he would've lasted long regardless. Didn't even bother to put on weight. Zero respect for anyone who doesn't even do that basic prep work.
