Alone: Frozen

Six former Alone contestants are dropped on the coast of Labrador, Canada, in early winter with a shared goal: anyone who lasts 50 days splits a $500,000 prize. Callie Russell and Amos Rodriguez begin building shelters and foraging for seal fat and hare, while Mark D'Ambrosio quickly realizes he'd rather be home with his young son than push through the isolation. Mark becomes the season's first tap-out, choosing family over the competition just days in.

Out this episode: Mark D'Ambrosio (day 5)

• Callie Russell finds seal fat and spots a humpback whale off the Labrador coast
• Amos Rodriguez catches a snowshoe hare in his snares
• Mark D'Ambrosio taps out early, framing it as 'starting a new chapter' rather than quitting
• The Labrador site is noted for over 13 feet of annual snowfall and both polar and black bears

The remaining three contestants, Woniya Thibeault, Greg Ovens, and Michelle Finn, are introduced as they establish camps in worsening winter weather. Woniya battles a damaged, leaking tarp and early tendonitis, Greg loses his cooking pot to the tide and struggles to catch fish, and Michelle finds abundant clams and mussels but develops a stomach illness. No one taps out this episode, but all three show early signs of physical strain.

• Woniya's tarp shelter takes on water and multiple holes in wet conditions
• Greg loses his cooking pot to the tide and struggles with poor fishing
• Michelle locates abundant clams and mussels and builds an efficient A-frame shelter
• Greg begins comparing the Labrador cold to his traumatic prior Patagonia experience

The episode opens with five contestants remaining before Greg Ovens becomes the season's second tap-out, citing anxiety, painful memories of a prior Patagonia ordeal, and an inability to catch fish. Callie Russell recovers a lost arrow from icy Atlantic water after a missed grouse shot, while Amos Rodriguez gathers driftwood and Michelle Finn lands her first grouse kill of the season.

• Callie Russell retrieves an arrow from 36-degree Atlantic water after a missed shot
• Michelle Finn gets her first grouse kill of the season
• Woniya Thibeault accidentally pepper-sprays her own sleeping bag overnight

All four remaining contestants push through worsening cold with no tap-outs this episode. Callie Russell builds a grouse trap she nicknames the 'Amazing Grouse Getter 2000' and lands her first significant kill, Amos Rodriguez pursues bear hunting with a modified bow, and Woniya Thibeault snares her first rabbit of the season, which she turns into a mussel-broth stew.

Amos Rodriguez becomes the season's third tap-out after going five days without catching meat and deciding to preserve his health for his daughter, narrowing the field to three women. Woniya Thibeault builds an elaborate stone hearth and chimney and attempts to trap a fox, Callie Russell falls ill from a mussel-only diet, and Michelle Finn snares a large hare.

• Amos Rodriguez taps out after five days without meat
• Woniya Thibeault builds an 18-inch stone hearth and chimney system
• Callie Russell becomes ill after relying almost solely on mussels
• Michelle Finn snares a large hare and harvests its organs for nutrients

With three women remaining and no tap-outs this episode, food scarcity and mental fatigue intensify. Callie Russell struggles badly, sleeping outside in 9-degree cold after mussels made her sick and her traplines come up mostly empty, while Woniya Thibeault finds sea urchins and a second rabbit, and Michelle Finn passes her prior season's survival record despite losing 14 pounds.

• Callie Russell sleeps outdoors in 9-degree temperatures after mussels make her sick

• Michelle Finn carves a chess set during downtime between hunts

Callie Russell taps out after her fish trap comes up empty, having promised herself she'd leave if her lines produced no food; she chooses her physical health over continuing, narrowing the field to two. Woniya Thibeault successfully traps and processes a fox for meat and hide, while Michelle Finn adapts to hunting squirrels with her bow as both women endure dangerously high winds and sub-zero temperatures.

Out this episode: Callie Russell (day 26)

• Callie Russell taps out after an empty fish-trap check, narrowing the field to two
• Woniya Thibeault traps a fox using a two-snare strategy and tans its hide into a scarf
• Woniya endures 50 mph wind gusts while checking trap lines
• Michelle Finn shifts to hunting squirrels with her bow and braves -1°F wind chill to maintain her traplines

Only Woniya Thibeault and Michelle Finn remain, each having already passed 33 days, competing for a prize that would double if both reach day 50. Michelle taps out on day 38 after smoke from her fire causes severe eye irritation and swelling, choosing her health over continuing. Woniya pushes on alone, catching rabbit and ice fishing through her final days to become the season's sole survivor at day 50.
