All language subtitles for Alone S02E00 The Reunion

Welcome to Alone, the reunion special.

I'm your host, Kevin Burkhart. Season
two of Alone has people talking.

Tonight, we're going to give you more of
what you love.

Oh my God, I'm alone.

We scoured the internet to find the ten
most talked about moments and we're

about to reveal them with the people who
know them the best. Say hello to the

cast of season two of Alone. They dealt
with weather and bears and hunger.

While we count down through the biggest
moments of the season, we will also be

bringing you never-before-seen footage
from these folks right here. And later

on, you'll get a sneak peek at Season 3
taking place in a brand-new location.

But first, let's take a look at what the
cast of Season 2 had to go through

before they got here today.

Mama bear just stood up on her hind
legs. Not good.

And this must be from a bear. And a
good-sized one, too.

So, pretty sure that's a cougar.

Or some kind of animal with sharp fangs.

There's a bear outside.

Get out of here!

Check this out.

It's a very large pile of bear poo.

One, two, three.

Four. That's still steaming.

Five. Six.

And I thought I was going to be alone
out here.

Any reason for me to worry?

Well, the smart guy would take that
seriously.

I'm not really sure how I would have
felt if I were there. Actually, I

probably would have ran really fast.

And so with that experience with the
Bears, let's start with you, Desmond.

Getting into this, military guys. So
obviously you have a background in being

out there in elements. How did that
prepare you for this?

To be honest with you, the military
background I thought would prepare me a

lot more than it did, and it didn't help
at all.

Vastly different from anything I've ever
experienced before in my life.

Let's take a look at your experience at
moment number 10.

There's a rescue boat right there coming
to get me. The situation is just crazy.

I don't feel safe.

I'm a little scared right now.

I feel like I bit off more than I can
chew.

That's what happened. I was up off in
here, and I had a bear scat all over

there, so I moved out of there.

Look, look, look.

Bear scat.

Definitely a bear presence here.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I'm a
little concerned right now. Feeling a

little anxious right now.

The fear factor, the unknown, it's just
overwhelming.

Everywhere I go, I'm starting to see
more and more signs of bears.

Oh.

This is fresh.

This is fresh bear scat.

I mean, this is probably...

20 to 30 minutes old. I'm not sure.
Maybe an hour.

I got to get out of here.

Y'all can have this. I ain't made for
bears.

I ain't made for them. I'm good.

So I guess I'm officially tapping.

Good.

I don't know. You were talking a lot of
bear smack when we got to meet you on

the show the first time, man.

This is kind of their way to get back at
you, I think. Of course. I did talk a

lot of smack. That's just, you know, my
upbringing. You got to have confidence

in anything that you do in life. So
showing confidence, you know. What

happened? Take us through it. I was out
there. I was out there a couple hours

and started looking around for a
shelter. I had an area I was going to

build a shelter. Every place I went had
bear scat everywhere.

So I was gathering firewood for a fire.

And I was cutting it on the side. And a
bear came out the woods and bluff

charged me.

I mean, I went all the way back to the
edge of where the water was. So I didn't

stand there and walk. I took off running
to the edge of the water and tried to

signal for help as soon as I could. I
mean, I was terrified, to be honest with

you. The biggest question is why didn't
you tape it?

How come we didn't see that?

I was pretty much focused on trying to
get past that first day.

So a lot of the stuff, I didn't tape a
lot of it. I don't know if you read the

fine print in the contract, but if you
get eaten by a bear, that has to be on

film. Really?

That's the whole point of the show,
Desmond.

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint.

I'm sorry to disappoint.

No, but seriously, do you have any
regrets? I think you're being pretty

open and honest with us. Do you have any
regrets about how it went? I wish I

would have had more time to experience
situations like that or being around

bears to prepare me for it more.

I wouldn't have had a problem staying
out there. It was just...

That animal presence, I've never dealt
with that. I've been in the battlefield.

I've did all of that.

I've never had a problem under pressure.
But having a large animal charge you

like that was just... Something I
couldn't prepare for, you know, and, you

know, to be honest with you, I was
scared.

I think that's fair. We had a lot of
reaction to social media. So let's go

from one tweet from a person named Jason
Sellers. He said, I quote, Desmond was

only there for like seven minutes before
he tapped out. I've taken longer naps.

How do you respond to Jason Sellers
saying that? Well, you know, Jason,

thank you for watching the show.

I mean, what can you say?

What can you say about that? You know,
I'm glad he watched the show. Keep

tuning in.

You know, don't bother me one bit.
People are going to say things positive

and negative, you know, but if anybody's
ever been charged by a bear, they know

the feeling. You all had experiences,
right, Tracy?

Oh, yes. Here's Tracy's face-to-face
encounter with her bears at moment

number nine.

Hey, hey, hey.

Twig snapping.

It's like a whining and a huffing and a
really deep huffing noise.

Sniffing right here at the back of my
head.

I didn't do that, though. I did not
light off my flare.

Get the hell out of here. I see you.

Get out of here.

Go on, get.

Oh, man.

That is a cub.

When I saw the little bear, it was just
this feeling of, Remorse hit me.

You know, I hate to do it, but I'm going
to tap.

All right, so there's a lot there. Take
me through your range of emotions.

You hear the snapping of twigs, and then
you hear the breathing right beside your

head. And I mean deep breathing, even
deeper than Desmond.

The dynamic changes.

And my first thought was, is scare him
off with my voice.

I tried that. That didn't work. Went to
the boat horn. That didn't work.

Went to the flare.

And at that point with the flare, it's
visual. I had no choice. And I really

felt the animal was bent on predation.

And when I went out, I was locked eyes
to eyes with the mother for about two

minutes before the cub presented
himself.

Did you think in those moments when
you're staring her down?

Did you think you were going to be
attacked? I thought it was it.

The end of my mystery.

Right there.

Wow. It was done. How did you stay calm?
How did you keep it together in that

moment? I didn't understand that
animal's motivation until I saw that

cub. And all it was was a mother trying
to protect her baby.

And that's when I understood.

And for me, it just broke my heart.

Added everything up and decided it was
probably my best interest to go ahead

and tap at that time. The situation
happened.

It happened the only way that it could
that I could have walked away from it.

Because a mother and a cub is the most
dangerous situation that you can be in.

And, you know, I'm thankful to be alive
from it. Wow.

Well, we've seen two of the most talked
about moments from season two, and we're

only getting started. We have a lot more
coming up, including a sneak peek of

season three, Mary-Kate's trip to the
hospital after cutting her hand.

and this little gem from Tracy.

Yes, good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

We'd like to thank you for watching
Quartino News.

Now we're going to turn the show over to
our station weather person who is out in

the field at this moment, Tracy Wilson.

It's pouring down rain, and it's going
to continue to rain until it stops.

Back to you, Bob.

I've made the decision to leave all my
camera equipment behind and venture

into the woods to live the rest of my
days with the bear.

I hope that... I really wanted to keep

going. Sorry.

Yeah.

Day 31, and the crazy has already set
in.

Welcome back to the Alone Reunion
Special. I'm Kevin Burkhardt. We are

counting down the 10 most talked about
moments of Season 2 with the cast.

Plus, giving a sneak peek of Season 3,
which is happening in South America. But

first... We wanted to spend a little
time with Mike and Justin talking about

how they kept from going crazy all the
days of being alone. And it seemed like

you guys had to be active here. You guys
were busy making up stuff to do, right?

That was the theme? Yeah, I don't think
Mike accomplished not going crazy,

but... Mike, it was really unbelievable,
some of the stuff you built. And it had

people talking, obviously.

Here are a few of your many
achievements.

Mike, take a look at moment number
eight.

My mind needs to stay busy.

I've got plans for my shelter.

You know, I want to build the drying
rack over the fire.

Now I'm going to build an elevated
platform for my kitchen fire.

I love these little kinds of projects.

They give me something to do to keep my
mind occupied so I can make it for the

long haul.

It's a one burner.

That's all I need, though.

All right, I'll finish, and I'm ready to
wash up.

I built a hands-free, foot-operated,
gravity-flow water

faucet. You know, the projects keep me
busy throughout the day, and so time

just flies by because of that.

And so I'll need to keep thinking of
projects in order to maintain that

feeling out here.

I have achieved modernity here.

I just need Barbara.

I don't know how you thought of some of
this stuff. I mean, the dice football

game was one of my personal favorites.
Did you think about this before? How did

you come up with all this stuff?

Half of it, it just came out there to me
to do these things.

The other half, I kind of had it in
mind. And we've only seen on TV about

half of the things that I've done, you
know, out there.

So it really was all about building,
staying busy, keeping my mind occupied.

Missing Barbara was huge. You know,
there's just no way around that. And

once I got to the end of my project list
and I didn't think I wanted to build

anything else, time to go home. Yeah,
purpose. Interesting, right? And I think

that goes to kind of what we saw in the
piece with you in that building the gym,

having something to do. You're not going
to wake up and lift weights, get a

workout, and just kill some time, right?

Yeah, I mean, it's a big, you know, like
Mike was saying about the mental aspect

of it. And I think we did completely
opposite, you know, different things,

but for the same reason. So just having
stuff that kind of mentally equals

regular life for you, you know, is huge.
It worked. And that wasn't the only

interesting thing with it. Well, there's
a lot of things. But, you know, you're a

veteran. You're working hard to create
support for veterans that are struggling

to find their way after they leave the
service.

And you applied your cause to improving
your situation out there by having

something to focus on. Here's what you
did, Justin. I got everybody talking.

Moment number seven.

Today is day 22.

Today is all about doing something for
the 22 veterans a day that commit

suicide.

So I'm going to climb this damn
mountain.

to serve as some sort of inspiration for
the veterans that are out there that are

struggling. One wrong move here, and I'm
done.

If I can summit this mountain, maybe it
will let other veterans know that it can

get better.

I've officially gained as much elevation
as I

can on this mountain.

I don't get too excited about much, but
it's pretty awesome.

If any of you guys out there that are

struggling to make that climb,

you know what I mean.

You can do it. You can.

You can.

That was real.

You're a veteran yourself, so you know,
okay? So tell me about your cause. Did

you think about this going in, or when
you were on the island, is that

something that struck you that, hey, I'm
going to do this?

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I didn't think
about the mountain climb until I think

it was probably about day 12.

I didn't go into it. I didn't know that
I was going to have a mountain behind

me. But I think the biggest thing was it
was symbolic of the struggles that a

lot of guys and girls go through every
single day.

When you're serving in the military, you
have a purpose that's bigger than

yourself. You can mentally connect and
say, I'm serving something that's bigger

than me. And then when the music's over,
you don't have that anymore. And if you

don't find it somewhere else, a lot of
people, they struggle with that sense of

just lack of purpose.

If I could on the actual physicality and
the toughness of the hike, that did not

look easy.

I mean, it was super easy. I just walked
up there. I was like, done.

Cool. While filming it, by the way.
Yeah, while filming. And, you know, it

was only day 22, so I was well rested,
well fed.

No, it absolutely was a pain in the ass.
It's not about breaking an ankle or, you

know, something like that anymore. If I
fall, I'm done.

Well, listen, as someone who watched it,
it was awesome. And, hey, Justin, thanks

again.

Even more to show you, though, coming
up. Stick around because we have never

before seen footage of Mary Kate at the
hospital after her devastating hand

injury. And a sneak peek of season
three.

Damn it.

Well, my mood was better until I
freaking started doing this. God.

Bless America, you son of a bitch.

There.

She's cut now.

I love it. Welcome back. We have
reunited the cast of season two of

Alone, and we are counting down your ten
most talked about moments. We have more

never-before-seen footage, a sneak peek
of season three, and we're going to talk

to Larry about his time on the island.
That will be fun.

But before we talk to Larry, you may
have noticed we have one person missing

from the cast.

Randy couldn't be here today, but the
sixth most talked about moment is one of

Randy's, and I think you'll all remember
this one. Here is now moment number six.

Good morning.

Another beautiful day here in British
Columbia.

I'm going to walk down and I'm going to
check my trap.

Hi.

A little mouse.

My first bit of meat in 14 days.

All right, well, let's cook up our mousy
mouse here.

You don't need to spend too much time
skinning him or anything. You just sort

of peel the things tear off.

I'm super excited to eat this right now.

You just peel open the stomach to take
out the gut.

But I leave in like the heart, the
liver.

I'll just throw them directly on the
coals there.

Just let them cook.

A little leg.

That's the only bit that's left.

Just the teeth.

Teeth are just too hard.

Actually, no, they're fine.

All gone.

Even the teeth, Randy? I don't know
about that one. I mean, Nicole, did you

not eat a slug? Am I remembering that
correctly? I ate quite a few slugs,

actually. You just cook them over the
coals until the slime falls off, and

actually they're pretty good once you've
got them. The head's okay.

Actually, the head tastes fine. A little
salt would be nice. The head tastes

fine.

Larry, you also ate a mouse like Randy,
but you took the hunt to a whole

different level.

And everybody was talking about it, as a
matter of fact, as we take a look at

moment number five.

If I can't get protein, I'm not going to
be out here for that long.

I got to start catching some fish, man.

Some mice would be good.

So I think I'm going to set up some
mousetraps.

God, I hate mice.

Whenever you find one, there's at least
one more.

So I need to take care of them.

So this is my first successful setting
of a Paiute deadfall.

Man, I'm excited about this. I hope this
works.

Ha!

My Paiute deadfall has sprung.

The mouse got away.

It's like me against him now, and now
it's personal.

And there we have it.

I hope I crush this little sucker's head
tonight.

Oh, my God. I am so stoked.

I finally, finally, finally caught that
effing mouse.

Just about ready to go in bed, and I
heard kaboom.

I came out.

Frickin' mouse is under the rock.

Boom. He frickin' takes off.

He went into this hole, and it just
barely got his tail. And then I took my

knife and cut his little frickin'
throat.

And he's right there.

Well, you did catch that sucker.

Well, I tried to make a pact with this
mouse.

I mean, that sucker crossed the line
first. And I hold a grudge, in case you

hadn't noticed.

And it was him or me, and the odds were
stacked in my favor.

So as far as your mood swings, on a
serious note, what was the base of it?

Was it just frustration?

Was it being alone? Was it hunger?

Why the mood swings that we saw from you
more so than anybody else?

Because I think, a part of it I think
was that I really truly felt alone. Even

when I turned on the camera, I guess I
knew that there was going to be a TV

show made about it, but I just...

opened up to the camera you know I just
pretend like it wasn't there really or

you know the only thing I really thought
about it was oh I want to make sure I

get this angle or I want to make sure
the camera's correct or whatever I

didn't really think to self-edit like I
probably should have and and I mean I'm

I'm kind of like that anyway I mean if I
go out into the woods and I you know

trip and fall I'm gonna cuss and I'm
gonna get up and I'm gonna be like you

freaking bush you know and then I'll
I'll move on you know it's not a big

deal right after that um the other
spectrum of my mood swings

I think that it was primarily
calorie-driven, lack of food.

I would be sad during the day, and I'd
be like, man, this place sucks.

This place is horrible. I'm hungry.

You know, just, God, would one of these
guys tap out eventually, you know? I

mean, it just sucked.

And then I'd eat.

And I'd be like, wow, do you hear that
bird chirping? That's beautiful.

This place is awesome.

And then about two hours later, I'm like
hungry again.

But it was directly calorie driven. And
then also looking back on it.

Both of my areas were semi-north facing,
so I didn't get a lot of sunlight.

And I think that the lack of vitamin D
definitely was playing on me as well. As

we go through the show, it's obvious
that this has left a permanent mark on

all of you, right? Well, you kind of
take it to the next level when that

permanent mark, because you actually
have now a permanent mark from your

experience on the island. You got a
tattoo.

Yes, I did. And it is an unbelievable
tattoo. We're going to show it to you.

Tell me about this, the decision that
goes into it and every detail of this

tattoo. It's big.

Well, I had a lot of time to think in my
shelter, and I've got a few tattoos

anyway, and I've been wanting another
one. But I never really had something

that absolutely meant a ton to me that I
wanted to make into a tattoo, you know.

And I was just sitting in my shelter. I
don't remember if it was night or when

it was, and I just thought.

It would be really cool if I could get a
map of the island and then just

different items to go around it that
meant a lot to me while I was out there.

And so it gave me something to think
about, and I just totally thought about

every detail that would go into that.

The mouse is pretty big on the tattoo,
by the way.

It was a big part of being out there.

A big part of being out there. And you
got them when it was all still there.

Thank you. It's great stuff.

Coming up, we've got the number one most
talked about moment from season two, and

later, a special sneak peek at season
three, currently recording in Patagonia.

I'm going to go check my gill net.

I'm guessing it'll be empty.

Holy crap.

Oh my gosh, it's big.

This is just too big.

Cutting the head off really is the best
idea.

I don't want to keep it from misery.

Let me show you this mortgage board I've
got going. I've got salmon in the pan.

This fish that I have now, I can keep
just for a few days and just keep eating

off it.

It's another good day.

I'm going to go check my gill net.

Looks like we got something.

Oh, and it is alive and kicking.

Need to cut its backbone is the name of
the thing.

Voila. Better than your best restaurant.

That's dinner, lunch, breakfast.

Hi, sweetheart.

Woo!

We're going to let you go today, okay?

I know many people think I'm weird to
set the fish free, but...

You know, I could use a new one
tomorrow, but today I'm still eating on

the fish I caught the other day.

You're good.

I got you. You are feisty. I'm glad.

Oh, look at him swim away.

Welcome back to the Alone reunion

special as we are counting down.

The 10 most talked about moments from
season two and revealing the best never

before seen footage along the way. As we
say hello to Jose and Nicole on the hot

seat. Good to see you guys.

Good to see you too.

It looked like you were living pretty
large out there, Nicole.

Everyone was talking about your luck
being on the salmon run. So obviously

you had a lot of fish. You were right.
The gill net was placed perfectly.

You're an expert on medicinal plants.

And so you had that going in your back
pocket. What did you think going in?

What were you thinking about your diet
and what you were going to do? to need

to eat. My strategy going in was, you
know, passive food is great, right?

It's really easy to get, you know,
things that you forage off the ground or

things that you forage in the forest.
And I ended up eating over 25 species,

different species of food out there. In
addition, I also had a number of plants

that I used for medicinal purposes.

So I probably used about 30 some odd
species out there. And so that salmon is

just a small part of my overall diet.

But it was huge and there were a lot of
them. And Larry's angry about it.

Social media, not just your friends
messing with you here, but social media

here. We got this from Christine McNally
tweeting, quote, the salmon might need

to borrow Nicole's cell phone to tap
out.

Did you think any of the others out
there were having the same luck as you?

I mean, you were even letting fish go.
And that's a good question. Did you stop

to think if they were having the same
luck? Did you stop to think if they were

having the same issues? I assumed
everyone was doing the same as I was. I

really did. I mean, I know there's a
great skill base here, right? No

question. And, of course, I didn't know
what everyone had at their particular

site, but they did try to cite things
where everyone had different.

different things at their site so that
they try to make it fair in some way.

So the fact that I hit a salmon run was,
you know, great blessing for me.

And I didn't know that other people
didn't have that. We didn't know what

everyone else was doing. Right.

Jose, the whole time, all we did was
watch your venture and how much you

wanted the salmon. And that's what got
people talking.

Here it is now, moment number three.

I have to maximize what the sea has. The
number one way to maximize it is having

a boat.

Down you go.

That's the last thing I need.

Right now I feel pretty weak. I'm like
an old, old man.

Oh, I'm sorry, Shauna.

I'm sorry.

I tried.

Bummed out watching that, man.

Basically, what made me decide it was
that I had my insulated boots on,

and I decided I could just not dry these
things in any reasonable amount of time.

It would have taken me, who knows, like
two weeks to dry them. That was a bit

much. I don't take a long time to make
decisions. I just go.

That's it. So it's out, out.

But I was really bummed out, of course.
On the spot, I decided that I had to go.

Right. So, okay, you made a quick
decision. We know that.

But then after the decision was made,
how crushing is that that you've done

all this and you were in pretty good
position.

If that boat doesn't tip, you're maybe
still there.

You know, the problem was hypothermia.
But really what kept me going there was

my wife.

I decided that I really wanted to try to
go as far as I could for her, win if

possible. And I really was really
basically bummed out for her because I

wanted a change of lifestyle for her.

her to stop working and for us to go
full-time living in the bush just

homesteading hunting fishing and
gardening and that would uh that would

have made it possible you guys are
there's something else i'll tell you

well we know now after talking to you
the danger is certainly real on alone

when we come back we're going to sit
down with mary kate talk to her about

her injury from the axe the second most
talked about moment in all of season two

It's difficult because I know I could
last a lot longer had it not been for

the accident.

I don't see any hand parts anywhere.

No blood either.

Put that on.

I should have been cutting and killing
with it on there.

Probably would have had a little better
luck.

Welcome back to the Alone Reunion
Special. We are counting down the 10

most talked about moments on social
media from Season 2 of Alone.

What we just saw there was Mary Kate
returning to her camp after a trip to

the hospital, which we will show you in
a moment. Welcome to the hot seat. Thank

you. Your emotions as you went back.

I really just wanted to see what was
left undone and what I could have done

better or what I did accomplish after
the fact.

after being away for a couple days. So
it was good to go back. It was really

good. I was happy they let me. Did it
give you any kind of closure?

It gave me lots of closure. Yeah, it
did. We should take a look at what

exactly got you out of the competition
and got everybody talking as we take a

look at moment number two.

Day seven.

Does it literally take everyone else as
long to start a fire?

Is it just me?

It must be just me. It's got to be.

Keep reliving it.

I can't lift my thumb. I can't lift my
thumb. I can't lift my thumb.

Is

it

only me that every time you watch it,
you have some little bit of hope that

this time it's going to go different?

Can you spill your pee? That's what we
do.

They don't be pissed.

Oh, man, that was nasty.

That was a nasty cut. First things
first. How did you keep recording?

You're in pain. You have this huge gash.
How did you keep filming it? I had two

cameras rolling.

And when the accident happened,
they're...

There wasn't any pain.

So initially I was, well, scared.

You know, like, what the heck did I just
do?

So then the next step for me was to
obviously hit the button and get some

help. So take the camera with me. I knew
I was going to be down at the beach for

probably a while until they got to me.
How long were you there waiting?

An eternity, it felt like. Oh, my
goodness. I was frustrated.

But initially I thought, well, they come
in on the boat.

You can take a look.

You're done.

Goodbye. See you later.

But that wasn't really... Did you ask?
Did you ask that, hey, is there any way

that I could stay once they got there?
No, it was almost immediate. Dan looked

at it, and he's like, get on the boat.

And it was quick. They immediately just
whisked me away. You didn't even have

time to think about it once they got
there. They made the decision for you.

It was serious enough.

Yep, right away.

Did you realize that the cut was as bad
as it was because...

Ox on Twitter says, come on Mary Kay,
you had a fully equipped medical kit. At

least give it a day or two before
pushing the button.

There's a couple things here, you know.
It's not just like I cut my hand.

I couldn't, my thumb wasn't working,
which means obviously that something's

wrong. So, yes, I could have feel
dressed myself, I'm sure, if I had a

sliver or didn't, you know.

sever the tendon in my hand. Yeah, you
had to go to the emergency room. This

was no joke. You had to get this taken
care of. And this is Mary Kate at the

emergency room.

Let's take a look.

Stupidest thing. And no better.

I'm curious to see that, though. I had
it on video.

I had both cameras running.

I'm curious to see how I cut that wood.

If I came down with the axe or if the
axe slipped off.

Day seven!

That's my camp number two.

Day seven, site seven.

Probably going to give me seven
stitches, too.

Wonderful.

I don't see a mark on the bone, so I
think you just bounced off it. I think

you went through a muscle.

That's full of blood.

Devastating, really. To get this far and
to get everything prepped and ready to

go. And then just being stupid.

I'm extremely frustrated.

I feel A, stupid.

B, frustrated.

And C, extremely stupid.

Well, that was just your initial trip to
kind of patch it back together. How

serious was the actual injury? I snapped
this tendon.

But you can't see it on the screen. So I
snapped this tendon and it went...

Wow. So they had to go fishing for it.

And... That was pretty exciting. I mean,
how is it now? It doesn't go up and

down, so I can't go like this.

But I can touch on my... Wow.

And my grip's a little bit weak.

Yeah. Other than that... You could use
it, at least.

I could use it.

Did you think it would be something like
this that would take you out? Of all the

things that you thought of, I'm sure,
going into this, did you think it could

be something like this? No.

I didn't know. You know, I... But that
is...

What upsets me most about it all is
because I really wanted to know what my

breaking point was going to be.

And I never got to figure that out.
Never got the chance.

We're obviously glad that you are okay.

When we come back, we'll see the number
one most talked about moment of season

two, and we'll give you a sneak peek of
season three.

Welcome back to the Alone Reunion
Special.

We've been counting down the 10 most
talked about moments of the season, and

shortly, we'll be giving you a sneak
peek of Season 3. But before we get to

that, I'm with the winner of Season 2 of
Alone, Dave. Dave, congratulations.

I mean, wow.

I mean, what does it feel like? You did
it, and you outlasted all these amazing

people. It's just a surreal moment for
me.

I had been holding myself in this thing,
thinking, okay, I've just got to stay

one more day. Just keep going, keep
going, keep going.

And then all of a sudden to have someone
just come and just take me out of that

suddenly and just say, no, you're done.

You don't have to do that anymore.

And all the things I've been
anticipating just suddenly just out of

it. What a moment. And here it is. You,
the fans, said it. The number one most

talked about moment from this season of
Alone.

They were heading into day 70, and I
feel like I could keep going.

And somebody said to me right before I
left, boy, 50 hasn't slowed you down at

all. And I'm like, yeah, baby.

I did this for you guys. You know that,
right?

We're ready to go home.

Yes, we get to ride in a helicopter.

Seriously. The emotion of that moment is
just amazing.

It's indescribable.

I don't know how to describe the emotion
of that moment.

When I turned around and saw Aaron
standing there and everything just all

of a sudden, all that tension, all that
difficulty, all that, it just went away.

I loved my time on the island.

I can't say that enough.

But at the same time, that moment was
like waking up from a bad dream.

You know, it was a hard dream.

A really cool, intense, hard dream.

And all of a sudden waking up and
realizing, wow, I get to go back to, I

get to see my kids again.

If you were forced to stay there longer,
how much longer could you have gone?

I knew I was coming into a bad tide
cycle where it was going to be hard to

fish. And I was living at this point
exclusively by fishing.

Psychologically, I knew that Christmas
was going to be a huge barrier. I did

not even want to think about Christmas.

Thanksgiving I wrote off. I knew, okay,
I'm out here for Thanksgiving. I'm going

to miss that big feast and everything
and miss my kids. And when I would think

about Christmas, I would just say, okay,
I'm not going to live that pain a month

from now in this right now, which is
really kind of okay.

Two weeks without even batting an eye.
Day 80, no problem.

Christmas was going to be a barrier for
me. That was going to be interesting.

Yeah. You know, you guys are all amazing
and all have different experiences here.

Dave's story and watching him come out
on top, what are your thoughts? What are

you thinking right now as we've all
shared all of your stories and gotten

pretty personal here?

Well-deserved.

Yeah. Well-deserved. It's not a feeling
of a competition amongst us here. It's

more family, if you will.

So whoever would have won, I think we
would have, you know, wished them well.

And, you know, he's a great man, has a
great family. He's going to do good

things with it. So well-deserved.

I was really hoping that David would win
because from the very beginning he says,

if I win, I'm going to take care of all
of you.

I got you all here, right? I got you all
together.

That was part of our deal.

Remember we said whoever wins this
thing, we got to get everybody together,

right? Remember that? Remember Justin
talked about that. You're all here. This

is it.

And as someone who watched it all
unfold, it was pretty cool to watch.

Dave, congrats on the win. Just amazing.
And the entire cast, you guys were all

outstanding. Congrats on everything.

I mean, what you did was incredible.

I loved watching you. I know that. I
know everyone at home loved watching the

adventures of this season of Alone.

So well done. And season three being
shot as we speak, and we'll be bringing

that to you soon. But in the meantime,
as promised, here's a sneak peek of

season three.

Thanks for watching, everyone.

Look at these rib bones. Maybe I'm
sitting in a damn Puma kill zone.

You willing to die out here?

This is much more about the mental than
it is about the physical.

One minute, one hour, one day at a time.
Now I don't know where I am. It's a

nightmare. Patagonia ripped it out of
me. It ripped it out of me quickly as

well. This is not Patagonia!

Whoa,

that's a big cat.

Is he circling me? There you go.
