Although not every season of Alone USA was perfect, the vast majority made for compelling viewing and broke the mould of currently awful reality shows.
The format of using experienced outdoor experts and military vetrans worked perfectly for those shows.
Then along comes Alone UK placing completely inexperienced people into an environment totally outside their abilities.
While the original series produced characters that the viewer could empathise with, the UK show introduces characters who at best, the viewer feels sorry for, and at worst, prayed for them to tap out asap!
The addition of nudity and excessive foul language reflects badly on the UK and is really unnecessary.
Sorry, but Channel 4 has completely missed the point of the tried and tested formula used on the Original Alone seasons, and it can only be hoped they will change if there happens to be further seasons.
