> most contestants are airlifted because of medical reasons I've watched the first 4 seasons, I think? And I would say this absolutely was not the case. Most contestants just tapped out. Nearly all of them. Some contestants were pulled out for medical reasons (too skinny because no calories), but not "airlifted" as in "emergency medical." One guy broke his ankle or something, as far as I remember he was the most urgent medical case. > And bear in mind that these are trained survivalists. This part is also blatantly wrong. The vast majority of the contestants were not "trained survivalists." I think the closest to that were some who taught some bushcrafting classes--and those people fared pretty well on average, just tapped out for mental reasons. I agree with your overall point. Surviving in the wild is incredibly difficult and virtually none of us have the required skill set anymore. Including nearly everyone on the Alone show.
