No, this isn't an article about how and where gummi will die. It is an article about a television show. Alone is one of those reality survival competition shows where they drop 10 men and women out in some godforsaken location, and just watch them as they starve to death. Contestants are required to outlast each other to win money.
Premise
This article isn't about the premise of the actual show, it is about my personal premise. I assert that this show exhibits vast differences between men and women. What vast differences? Mostly how the responsibilities and actions of the sexes differ from each other, especially when they are separated and put in a situation of dire stress.
Evidence
Look, I am not going to go over each and every episode of this show as if I was in charge of a fandom wiki. I haven't watched every episode of the show, I quit when it started getting goofy.
Men
Men on this show will endure starvation (to a point...the producers will yank a guy if they drop too much weight), injury (again, to a point), fending off vicious animals, and incredibly harsh weather.
The vast majority of men tap out and leave the show out of loneliness, love of their family, missing children, and a lack of people to provide for. Once men on this show have constructed a shelter, secured food, and made a fire, they mostly have time for their own thoughts. These thoughts bring them back to their internal responsibilities that drive them.
