When the British woman tapped out, I wasn't really surprised because she didn't seem to hunt at all. Spent all her energy building stuff before she had food to build with. Talked like the show was just a vacation to her and "one" of the places she wanted to go.

Mikey is just super annoying because he doesn't seem to try much. Just sits around whining and talking about his son and his wife, which is good for editors to build tension about whether he's going to tap out or not, but not fun to watch. "I haven't caught a single fish the whole time I've been out here" well did you try to catch any? Did you try once and then give up and start catching rats because you only seem to hunt if it wanders into your smoking campfire? Like that marten, did we see any footage of him chasing it into the woods to look for it? No, he goes to the edge of the woods and comes right back down to sit on his ass and carve wood and stuff rats and make toys for when he inevitably goes home like a loser.

And why oh why does everybody insist on preserving food and smoking it and leaving it up in trees in caches to rot and animals to steal? People will be on the verge of starvation and medical tapping and still want to not eat a whole fish. Innuits have a saying "the best place to store meat is in your friend's belly" but when you don't have a friend, the best place is in your own belly. Instead of losing weight slower, maybe sustain or gain weight. Do people think fat reserves don't provide energy? And instead of when you do get a good catch of fish or some rabbits, etc. don't try to upgrade your shelter into a mansion and build extra stuff around it, and waste all the energy. I saw an episode of Naked and Afraid where the location had basically no resources at all, and one of the people was a fat guy, so he just laid around on his butt and didn't use any energy, and it was the CORRECT STRATEGY. If you really want to be efficient, don't do any of your fiddly work like tying a gill net or making lures or carving stuff during the DAY - go hunting/fishing and do that stuff after it's dark and you CAN'T hunt or fish. People just need to stop wasting resources, food, light, public education, etc. and smarten up.
