Alone Season 8
Alone is a History reality television show that airs in the United States. It chronicles the self-documented daily hardships of ten individuals (seven partnered teams in season 4) as they attempt to survive alone in the woods for as long as possible while only having a limited supply of survival gear. The participants are segregated from each other and all other people, with the exception of medical check-ins. They can “tap out” at any moment or be removed if a medical check-in is failed.
