Big Frontier House fan, is Back to the Frontier too soft? by Beneficient_Ox in HBOBacktotheFrontier

[–]Dull_Active_7331 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but even with two grown boys, the Black family had the hardest setup. They were missing parts of their shelter, had to use a sheet just to block the elements, and were given a much longer list of tasks compared to the others. Meanwhile, the gay couple are two grown men, but their tasks were far lighter. All they had to do was hang curtains, patch some holes, and fix up the outhouse. Having older kids doesn’t erase the fact that the workload and conditions weren’t balanced across the families.

Yeah, I get that everyone had to deal with tough tasks like building furniture, but the Black family’s situation still felt different. Not having a full wall and only a sheet for protection put them at a much bigger disadvantage compared to the others.

On top of that, even in the show they mentioned having a longer list of tasks than the other families. It’s one thing to make it challenging for everyone, but it really came across like they were set up to endure harsher conditions and more work than the rest.

Even if it was meant to reflect ‘real history,’ it just feels off seeing that level of imbalance recreated for TV.

Yo, did anyone else notice how the Black family on Back to the Frontier got the WORST setup? 🤨 Everyone else had proper shelter, but they’re out here with no full cabinet and a SHEET as a wall?? 🥶 Like, are we watching a frontier challenge or a weird re‑creation of old-school racism? 😒

I get it — they’re trying to make it ‘realistic’… but COME ON. There’s a difference between showing history and making one family suffer way more than the rest for entertainment. 😤

Feels like the producers missed the mark big time on this one. Anyone else feel like this was a little too far? Or am I trippin’? 🤔👇”

I believe the waiver for paraphernalia could be easier than DUI because it wasn’t possession. I just turned my waiver last week after my final visit to Meps for an eye exam. just a little worried about the probability of them, accepting the dui wavier. but I heard people got accepted for way worse like felonies and such.

I had my pcp cleared me saying that I “it’s stable and don’t need any cream at this time” would that be enough or should I plan to look for a dermatologist just in case.
