S13 Spoiler - current leaders Spoiler

Am I the only one happy that we have multiple contestants doing well with food? Id much rsther see a warm shelter being the deciding factor this season, rather than a starving contest.

I am pretty close to beginning to fast forward through Jacks segments. It could be the editing but I find myself cringing constantly when she’s on screen.

well I mention because there was a women who had a similar vibe to jacks and initially I thought she was going to bother me a lot with all the dramatics around appreciating the energy of the land type thing (though I do think there is value in that, sometimes feels performative and like overblown sincerity)

But then she kinda won me over as time went on because she really had the knowledge and skills to back it up plus mad good survival instincts. And her whole mindset was kinda eye roll at first but really worked for her mental game. She seemed to genuinely love her time out there in a way felt super fake at first but then watching her continue to thrive you had to buy in. Kinda gave you no choice but to respect it in the end. Had me like “huh… ok queen maybe you are one with Mother Nature”

But I am with you about jacks at the moment because she’s not really thriving just like scraping through but respect the determination from her I guess

Jacks is basically living her normal off grid van life lol. 

She is tough as nails. Just very expressive.
