We Old People Need Different Reality Shows
<p>I am currently binge-watching season nine of the TV show, <em>Alone.</em> In it, ten hardened survivalists are dropped into the wilds of Labrador, Canada, where they film themselves as they slowly starve to death. The winner is the last one standing. I can’t get enough of it. <em>Alone</em> is not the only survival show I like. I have watched <em>Survivorman</em>, <em>Man vs. Wild</em>, <em>Dual Survival</em>, <em>Naked and Afraid</em>, and, to my great shame, every season of <em>Survivor</em>.</p>
<p>I have no idea why I like or watch these shows. I don’t know bushcraft. I don’t hunt, I don’t fish, and I won’t even go on a walk if I hear it referred to as a hike. My idea of camping is a hotel with mediocre room service. Yet, if there is something on TV involving young muscular people battling nature and each other, I sink into my La-Z-Boy mesmerized.</p>
