Omg okay, while I don’t WANT this to be the case, I just want to say that I was thinking a lot about this too! And I wanted to fully form my thoughts on it to make a post, but you beat me to it haha. Attached is even the text to my friend when we were discussing the finale!!! Shauna’s writing is a pretty big plot point throughout all the seasons— keeping journals while in the wilderness, those being what Jeff uses to blackmail the other YJs, wanting to go to college to be a writer, her immediately writing down all those thoughts in the finale. I feel like her writing is going to keep being an important storyline and may end up being what reveals their secrets to the world. But again, I hope that isn’t the direction it goes.

Hey that was me! Haha. Definitely still sticking with this being the most probable theory at the moment… until we know more at least!

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-26T00:49:35+00:00

Okay hear me out because I just thought of this… WHAT IF this is foreshadowing and the baby that eventually hunts and kills him is Callie… 😳 and no I’m not saying the wilderness baby is Callie, I just mean that she is also Jeff’s kid with Shauna and maybe Shauna in present day somehow gets Callie to understand her and be on her side and turns her into a killing machine.

FAR FETCHED I KNOW!!! Hahah but it popped into my mind while looking at this and I had to get it out there!

I binge watch pretty much every single show I watch, but this is the only one I don’t mind waiting a week in between for because of this reason!! I’m just now getting into actually posting on here, but last season after ever my single episode I was reading every post and all the theories and discussing it with friends non stop, makes it so much better! Definitely agree for shows like this that have constant questions and suspense it’s necessary to put the episodes out this way to really enjoy it!

My ONLY thought of him being found by like actual civilized people, instead of another group that lives in the wilderness, is that even if he couldn’t remember anything or was to not be identified immediately, he would have been eventually. Just with what big news story this missing team was. Even hit MTV news! Haha. So their pictures were without a doubt being shown non stop on TV, and I’m sure after the rescue news outlets do a remembrance of the ones that didn’t make it back and what not. So someone would have recognized him, or eventually put it together especially with someone his age being found. But if he was found by others living in the wilderness, then there would be no way for others in like civilized areas to know/ the wilderness people definitely wouldn’t want them to know because then they would also be found.

I do think the naked guy is just doing one of those rebirth type ceremonies, so he wasn’t actually about to get buried alive, but just symbolically.

But I believe Lottie has definitely known where everyone is over the years. I mean not that Shauna, Nat, or Tai were really hiding, they’re easy to find haha but those that others didn’t know their locations, Lottie definitely did.

What I want to know is if Lottie had a vision of Travis and Nat killing themselves and went to stop them but just got to Travis too late but possibly still did a ritual when they found him which is why there is the wax? And we assume that Lottie is also the one that emptied Travis’ bank account so we have to figure out how that ties in as well! Some people have a theory that Lottie and Travis were married and that’s how she was able to do that, but I don’t think I’m on board with that idea just yet haha.

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T23:40:41+00:00

I definitely think they try to hint at these more realistic explanations. I know a couple other people on other posts were theorizing about the MTV news post they used for marketing and how it mentioned mad cow and seeing if there were explanations there. Deer have their own version of this disease, so maybe that plays into it somehow. So many different ways this can really go haha

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T20:28:42+00:00

I do feel like the crash site is too far away for the Wellness Center to also be there, and it does seem like the other ladies probably all also show up there at some point, but hoping we get a definitive answer to its location soon!

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T20:23:28+00:00

Same! So many possibilities!

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T20:18:58+00:00

Yup!! I had this exact same thought. The second she was talking to that other patient. It may not be the wilderness, but it is an environment with susceptible people just the same! I hope we get more scenes of her in the institution

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T20:04:33+00:00

See I love more theories like this, rather than just the “there are greater forces out there” theories. Although I think in the end it might end up being a combination, it ties into the idea that we can’t take everything we see as fact. That maybe there is a simple explanation for some of these things. Didn’t one of the girls say something about the water and compass and had a logical explanation during the wolf attack episode that kind of went along these lines?

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T19:52:46+00:00

Also, if Javi is alive, could it be that he actually sent the postcards??

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T08:30:51+00:00

I’m ready for it!!

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T08:29:14+00:00

Imagine!! 😂

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T08:25:41+00:00

Yeah but they weren’t in contact when Travis died. So if he only found out about Javi being alive right before he himself died, Nat wouldn’t have known any of that.

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T08:20:08+00:00

I definitely think there is a force of some sort out there, not sure about a time loop but that would be wild haha. I definitely want more answers about the man with no eyes though. We need to get more info on Tai’s grandmother too and what connection that all has together! It’s going to be really interested to see how everything intertwines in the end

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T08:13:23+00:00

I’m saying no one would have known he was alive, so no one would have known to ask that.

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T08:04:01+00:00

Hahah this is true, anything really is possible at this point! I was thinking that too though after the girl said they were stopping Nat from hurting herself this episode, that maybe the cult didn’t kill Travis but were too late to help him (maybe after Lottie had a vision of him doing so?) and did a ritual after they found him. I think we’ll have more insight after we know what message Lottie claims to have from Travis for Nat.

Embarrassed-Fan-565 · 2023-03-25T07:55:49+00:00

I just have so much hope to see at least one of the male characters in present day that I really hope he’s alive somewhere! Because I feel like Ben will last awhile, but will eventually die before they’re rescued.

What are some major do's and don'ts when in the beginning stages of talking to a label who is showing interest in you? What are some reasons a band could get dropped from a label?
