What I dont get is some of them only need water its the perfect fasting opportunity being fat myself I always figured Id outlast anyone with my resources :)
😂 Reminded me of the episode on Naked n Afraid when the one guy was so hungry n depressed over killing an animal, he told his partner he has thoughts of killing himself and everyone around him🤣🤣🤣 girl was like; "wtf, am the only one around you.." Classic
Big girl down is not really surprising. Nor was finding herself at the receiving end of animosity. It was inevitable that at some point the smiles and laughs wouldn't be enough in a survival situation. Pretty sure the snob mob felt obligated to invite her over and offer her a meal since they invited her on the 3 hour cruise that ended so badly. Can't wait for the next episode. I'm loving this!
Hahaha, she really expected them to say - Oh please don't go to the other camp.... 😂😂😂 Then she just eats their chickens and the next day she's like - tata, I'm going home.
@@KandMe1 I paused and hit the comments immediately lol I was like, "well that's not a nice thing to say even if she's not around...[camera immediately pans to her]"
@Oh6Torch I was being nice, and holding back 😅 I'm average 160 pounds at 5ft8. I lost about 20 pounds once doing a 14-day water fast. I know these people can do it. But it takes sheer will
So the bigger lady doesn’t do anything for four days then all of a sudden has the energy to swim, then needs to be rescued. When she gets back to the base camp, she is told to come get some fish but too lazy to walk to the fire and get some, and then has the gall to be angry they didn’t “save her some“. They most certainly did maybe if she had paid attention and work as a team member instead of a lazy cow she’d be getting stuff done and have food to eat. She is a big mouth and doesn’t work as a team member
@@pluki1357 take turns fishing? There's enough of them to do 4h shifts around the clock. and while you're fishing your body gets a chance to recover from more physical work.
No, they need to make trotlines, i.e one long line with multiple hooks spaced out along it. Run it from a point back to the beach, or around the mangroves. Check it 2-3 times a day. Also make some fish trap baskets to put out off the points and mangroves.
@@stanmann356 Got to pull them in every 6 hours too. Any fish on a line too long will either die and rot or get eaten by other fish. Same with baskets. How they fish isn't the issue, it's the fact that they don't fish that annoys me. Boat owner here.
@@lastpenny849 I agree they need to be checked often, but how they fish IS important. The methods I suggested give 24/7 coverage, but don't tie anyone up the whole time and lets them do other things. The net can be effective as well, as long as it's placed correctly. The main thing is you can't catch fish unless they are there to be caught. IMHO the mangroves should have the highest fish concentrations, followed by the rocky points.
I can only say someone is feeding them when the camera is off, there is no way they are catching fish and eating snakes in between these heavily edited clips.
Bro have you ever tried hunting with machetes on a deserted island? Not as easy or fruitful as you would think. They were running out of food and they needed another option.
@@kevinsmith3476 What are the odds they expend all that energy building a raft, spend hours sailing there, and find this other tiny island has an abundance of food on it which they can ferry back? They didn't even make it there, they had to be rescued which in the real world would be 5 fatalities 🤣
She weighs less in water, so moving probably feels pretty good there, compared to land where all the exercise even just getting there has her so stiff she can barely move.
The stereotype of fat people is a stereotype for a reason. Mercedes ended up exactly where everybody was thinking day one. A complete drain on resources followed by quitting, having been no benefit to either group.
One of the few occasions in life where someone can loudly and proudly proclaim "I've Got Crabs!" and be loved and celebrated like a conquering hero instead of being scorned, humiliated and treated like a Leper by everyone else. 🤣
Damn that exact same net sure does show up like clockwork every season. Not even smart enough to put it back out again right away. Just piled on the beach catching nothing Building a raft to spend more energy to paddle to another island to spend more energy foraging and then paddling back rather then looking about them... or right behind him (coconuts in trees above him as he says everything wants to kill you) Can we have a real season with real contestants who take it semi seriously?
You have no idea how often nets like that wash up on Pacific beaches. It is literally floating garbage. You might as well query where all these drink bottles are coming from, convenient eh? 😂
@@DemstarAus if you look back it has the same foam, length and shape/color and size. It's the same one. Same as a couple of the "fish" they keep catching. I actually live on an island so I know full well what does and doesn't wash up.
He says in every episode that he makes sure they have the means to survive. This is also very old. Meaning he procures and places everything on the island.
I mean seriously, what where they thinking? That "raft" was more like a submarine. You couldn't paddle that thing across a calm lake, let alone the open sea. And what exactly were they hoping to find on that little island? A buffet?
Barnes must be autistic, speaking of Mercedes when he says "When an elephant is dying or whatever, and they turn on it, that's not very nice" oh my gosh, I lost it!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mercedes pulled a hit it and quit it on them people 😂😂 she had the most energy to go on a very unsafe swimming/uncertain adventure with the other group but to do anything on her camp was too much bruh ffs 🤦
Mercedes is too tired to go get water or food,,but not too tired to go swimming,,she,s taking the piss,,if u can't pull ur own weight n can't hack it then go home...
This serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the reasons why individuals in poverty often remain in that situation. Mercedes' life took a challenging turn due to her attitude, leading to weight gain as she consistently chose the easier path over the more demanding one, opting for indiscipline over self-discipline. Pain is a universal experience, but those who harness that pain as a source of motivation, self-improvement, and self-love, ultimately respect themselves and become their own greatest allies, achieving success in this world. Mercedes, on the other hand, appears to exhibit toxic traits, lacks social skills, struggles with daily discipline, and struggles to prioritize her life events. These observations are not meant to be harsh but rather an honest assessment of the situation. In fact, the intent is to highlight the need for support and change, even when she might not be on her own side.
Haha quite literally just went to the comment section a few seconds after having watched her sitting flat on her ass in camp, while the others went foraging, trying to convince herself that USUALLY shes the one on the go getting things done And I'm actually concerned that she might be dumb enough to gaslight herself. Thats a dangerous combination!
She got fat because of a career change, not her attitude. That said, I’m sure she could do better. Your commentary on poverty is quite disgusting though and doesn’t actually bear out. There are very real systemic barriers that prevent people from exiting poverty that all the self-discipline in the world will never change. It’s so disturbing that people still believe the world is this magically just place and that everyone magically gets what they deserve.
@@bendingoverandpickingthingsup Hey, another " fatty " trying to justify their weight ! Just cause you have a career change doesn't mean you have to let yourself go like that. If the Job is less physically demanding then you have to supplement that with physical exercise out side of work or as much as you can at work. It is her mental attitude that causes her weight gain with no self discipline.
they have the biggest island already, explored 5% of it. Lets go swim 5 miles to the small ass island in rough shark invested waters. Really smart brain move. i wouldve kicked the fat girl out as soon the 2nd day of doing nothing has ended.
Kid Me appreciates a good raft adventure. Adult Me knows it would be a waste of energy and an unnecessary risk. Baffled they didn't talk each other out of it. 🤯 Ah, Barnes. He's a Lovely Gent. 💖
@@Saesenthessisxit’s just they way they edited it, in the beginning to emphasise the distinction between the rich and the poor, they were probably told to act that way.
They're posh British people, after a week on the island the only thing that can raise their spirits and keep them happy is the thought of colonising another island.
I lost it when Barnes said "if a elefant is dying they all turn at it, you should you should look after her". Wtf dude, the honesty can be suger coated at times and that was one of them.
It was so nice to see that posh arts guy having a sweet heart and turning out to care about the ''poor'' people's morale and emotions, giving comfort to that (for the lack of better words) fat girl.
"My first active thing I'm actually gonna do!". At least she's self-aware, but it sucks that she can't just admit to her group that she has done nothing to help until episode 3 (whatever week that is). Because that has often been a contentious issue, yet clearly she has known all along that she was not helping out at all, and is thus both guilty of the accusation, and the resultanlt fallout caused by her denial. Not saying she is a bad person, but that's not a great trait to have.
When I was 16 I was homeless in London and think these rich people don't know how most people live. At least mercedes wont starve. She has enough back-up calories.
Big girl learned a lot about herself.. And how other people experience her behavior.. Hopefully she will better her life by being more active and positive..
Interesting how the commoner team rallied around Mercedes, then didn't. It was really sweet how Barnes and Mercedes got along. I like how Barnes recognizes that his life of privilege is leaving him wanting and how he needs the challenge. If I could make as much as he does in a relatively short period of time, I'd be out more often. I enjoy going to challenging places in the world and meeting people in different circumstances. I've been from the slums of India to the palaces of the Middle East. Surviving on a tropical island would be a challenge indeed. I hope Barnes grows through this experience and seeks out more. I had hoped that Mercedes would too.
Honestly I was not surprised how Mercedes turned out in this episode. She is way over her head clueless. Right from the start they got carried by the guys in their team.
@@purnp5897 I’m taking about how much weight she put on in just 3 years when she went from a full time swimming instructor to work for the family business. Go back and look at the photo of her before she switch jobs.
@@debbieherrera1605 That's probably why she gained so much weight - her metabolism slowed before her appetite adjusted to her slower lifestyle. It happens a lot to athletes.
There's no way those birds are actually wild...wild birds would be way more agile and the plumage would be intact,not looking like they've just been out off a cage😅😅
@@bendingoverandpickingthingsup Thank you! Digging a little area for water to flow during a rainstorm and for a huge gulley right down the beach, line it with some 'stuff' and make a bit of a fish funnel with some pokey sticks.
Actually in season 2 they used traps! The men used a trap to catch and kill a crocodile The females found a sedated pig in a "trap" built by the producers
I can understand Mercedes predicament, but what did she expect on an island? She volunteered to try to swim across the strait and it went to shit. I can understand you being knackered after that, sure, but you cant afford sitting around when survival is at stake.
It was obvious she didn't have the discipline to last 5 weeks. Also, the dude circa 30:55 saying "everything in this places wants to kill you", while there are trees filled with coconuts behind him... 🤦♂
Honestly, why would she have stayed after being treated so shite? Obviously he’s obese but I don’t think it has anything to do with lack of discipline. Being treated like that would break anyone’s dedication.
@@bendingoverandpickingthingsup she was worthless and had an entitled attitude. She was obvlivious to her own handicap. She was a dead weight. The "being fat" is just a sign of all these characteristics. Her problem starts at her brain.
20:48 "- OMG! A fishing net!" " - Yeah, yeah, I know. I've seen this net already i in season 2, season 3 etc. The very same net, the same circumstances, same boring scenario over and over. Now just wait for the piglets, half-sedated pig nex to the camp, can of beans in the middle of the jungle and free fish from 'random' fishermen going by when situation gets really dire.
I always liked how that one can of beans made so many servings. They managed to divide that 16 ounce can into so many 20 ounce servings it's almost biblical!!!!
I mean, they (bear) do say that they made sure they have everything they need on the Island,, they don't want the teams to tap out a week in coz that's how it would be in reality, especially since they get people based off personality for content rather than actual ability
There are lots of food in there crabs in the mangroves ,flesh of coconut you can grill so delicious and many other just think think and pray for guidance.
I kinda wish they would make this like Alone and remove the time limit they spend there and make it so they stay indefinitely until there is only one person left. That would be epic
Nuts they went out on that raft! Good episode, loving Barnes more each time, hilarious! Felt so bad for Mercedes not getting a scrap of fish, bit harsh that. Probs best she leaves though she cannot contribute, they need the whole team.
Apparently the rich team forgot how pissed off they were at Mercedes and a couple of the others on the poor team for just sitting out in the ocean on the first day while they were busy making a shelter, and then the poor team raced in and took it over, leaving them all to sit out in the rain. If she hadn't left, they would have all turned on her again the moment she displayed her lazy ways again.
Trying to get to a tiny island 100 times smaller than their own is the most idiotic idea yet. And they had the landwhale in tow. It's a miracle none of those morons drowned.
Bear Grylls points out to us that each person has different talents. Mercedes is laziness. Not only did she fail to keep the fire going, she didn't even help with the net. All she had to do is sit on her butt and put the already gathered wood that was laying next to it, on it, and sit on it again and help untangle the net. She contributed zero.
I’m watching this and thinking, why not dig a pit for the piggies on the island? Surely a better use of energy? If that iguana was so easy to catch, why not catch more? That island would have easier to get to closer to the island ? There would be NO way you could have got me on that “raft” - it’s a terrible thing.
I don’t like how they are always crying about how hard it is. I mean haven’t they watched past seasons? Also don’t understand why they never seemed to have research edible plants and how to trap birds and stuff. I know it’s not easy but at least they could try.
"I'm really worried about Barnes !! He's slipped and fallen and hit his head on a rock and fell on a sharp stick in his guts and a venomous snake has bitten him and the scorpions are stinging his bottom and eagles are gouging his eyes out !!". LoL or... He's just lost.
Tbh they a bunch of idiot. First they decided to went on the raft while the ocean literally telling them is not good day to go on raft.. 2nd they let the fat woman to go with them, really? Idk if this is part of the script to make more drama to the show.. if you have common sense you will see everything they does was wrong unless is the part of the script.
I think that depends on how overweight they are. Someone who is 20 pounds overweight, but active will probably have an easier time than a slender person, or a person who is 100 pounds overweight.
@@IckyGuy_08 Unlikely. She held down a job. More than likely she has probably never had to deal with pushing through this kind of pain and exhaustion before, having always had access to pills for pain, and coffee.
Why is it when ever they really need food it`s found not far from their camp site or just off the beach? The whole raft thing just seems so set up to me. The fishing net from out of nowhere, It`s not like they have`nt been there umpteen times before.
Are those flightless birds? Did they clip their wings or something. Earlier episodes they couldn't get near them, but now they just sit and wait to get grabbed??? WTH.....
Weird how everyone starves for a week then 3 birds just appear behind them that they can pluck from the tree without effort. Its almost like its totally fake
there is a catfish that is seawater but that iguana and turkey they caught on the show is immobile more to say they are more domesticated than wild because I hunt wild bird, iguana, monitor lizard before. Usually wild animals are extremely fast and agile and sometimes they fight back
Great idea! The could add new features an make it multi national event. Jus keep the righ order: (1) bring Native Americans. After they settle: (2) bring in mixed Portuguese and Spanish group (3) wait untill group No1 is 90% unable to move due to diseases brought by group No2 (4) bring in British people. Let them quarell, half starve to death (5) make British group split, wait till they expell half of them back. In next season: (6) France v Ger/Russia (7) remach: Ger v France/UK/Russia (you can remake that episode twice) (8) Germans, Russians and Poles on the same island (just make sure to put Poles in the middle, wih all resources left to the other two). Ultimate season: (9) RuSSia v Ukraine - all resources given to Rus, Ukrainians on hard mode (no food, water, no tools), Rus group 4x larger. Sit and watch how in short time the latter go on top of the former. 😜
I've watched the last 2 episodes, didn't know this show existed. It's like watching infants put together a space shuttle.

Went to the other team ate some food and then taps out LOL
Honestly I was not surprised how Mercedes turned out in this episode. She is way over her head clueless. Right from the start they got carried by the guys in their team.
during a rainstorm: "lets go on a 90minute walk to collect water from the stream"
The vegetarian left first, and the unfit one left second. People cannot handle hardship, and this show is the proof of it. 😂
(35:53) If an elephant is dying..... I was dying with laughter after this analogy. hhhhhhh
😂😂😂
Mercedes smelled chicken an was like - You know what? I'm gonna joint this group now.
The bird just stood there and he grabbed it, by hand something smells fishes folks.
Mercedes got better quick when it suited her lol
Edit: I spoke too soon she's standing poorly again now the going got tough 🤣🤣🤣
Barnes is a good guy but if the elephant is dying cuz it's being lazy and useless, then the herd will let it die.
Thats a fat move right there, leaving your camp to the other camp because they have food😂😂😂
Mercedes should have the most energy because she brought the most with her.
She needs to go back to being a full time swimmer instructor.
@@debbieherrera1605don't think so, she needs to work on herself before others.
@@purnp5897
I’m taking about how much weight she put on in just 3 years when she went from a full time swimming instructor to work for the family business. Go back and look at the photo of her before she switch jobs.
@@debbieherrera1605 That's probably why she gained so much weight - her metabolism slowed before her appetite adjusted to her slower lifestyle. It happens a lot to athletes.
@@annep.1905
Yep they need to replace it with some other activities that get you moving, walking is a great one.
There's no way those birds are actually wild...wild birds would be way more agile and the plumage would be intact,not looking like they've just been out off a cage😅😅
Tied to the tree, I bet.
When Mercedes started feeling better, her body had probably started burning her excess fat.
The left the group for a meal then abandoned them too 😭😔😭 😂😅
I was cheering for the poor ppl but the rich did very well.. I’m impressed
The popr baby elephant couldn't make it 😂😂😂
Season 5 and they are still NOT using traps....
Srsly. How has not a single one built a fish trap? The supplies are littered around them.
IKR? Or land traps/snares?
@@bendingoverandpickingthingsup Thank you! Digging a little area for water to flow during a rainstorm and for a huge gulley right down the beach, line it with some 'stuff' and make a bit of a fish funnel with some pokey sticks.
Actually in season 2 they used traps!
The men used a trap to catch and kill a crocodile
The females found a sedated pig in a "trap" built by the producers
I can understand Mercedes predicament, but what did she expect on an island? She volunteered to try to swim across the strait and it went to shit. I can understand you being knackered after that, sure, but you cant afford sitting around when survival is at stake.
you can when the government takes care of you
Well she doesn’t have to eat at much so yeah
It was obvious she didn't have the discipline to last 5 weeks.
Also, the dude circa 30:55 saying "everything in this places wants to kill you", while there are trees filled with coconuts behind him... 🤦♂
The sandflies Will miss their Mercedes dinner💯😅
that can kill you to coconut falls on your head thats game or at the least some brain damage
Honestly, why would she have stayed after being treated so shite? Obviously he’s obese but I don’t think it has anything to do with lack of discipline. Being treated like that would break anyone’s dedication.
@@bendingoverandpickingthingsup she was worthless and had an entitled attitude. She was obvlivious to her own handicap. She was a dead weight. The "being fat" is just a sign of all these characteristics. Her problem starts at her brain.
20:48 "- OMG! A fishing net!"
" - Yeah, yeah, I know. I've seen this net already i in season 2, season 3 etc. The very same net, the same circumstances, same boring scenario over and over.
Now just wait for the piglets, half-sedated pig nex to the camp, can of beans in the middle of the jungle and free fish from 'random' fishermen going by when situation gets really dire.
Yeah 😂😂😂
I always liked how that one can of beans made so many servings. They managed to divide that 16 ounce can into so many 20 ounce servings it's almost biblical!!!!
I mean, they (bear) do say that they made sure they have everything they need on the Island,, they don't want the teams to tap out a week in coz that's how it would be in reality, especially since they get people based off personality for content rather than actual ability
Mercedes needs to go back to being a full-time swim instructor
There are lots of food in there crabs in the mangroves ,flesh of coconut you can grill so delicious and many other just think think and pray for guidance.
I kinda wish they would make this like Alone and remove the time limit they spend there and make it so they stay indefinitely until there is only one person left. That would be epic
Nuts they went out on that raft! Good episode, loving Barnes more each time, hilarious! Felt so bad for Mercedes not getting a scrap of fish, bit harsh that. Probs best she leaves though she cannot contribute, they need the whole team.
Lmao they built a raft so they could got a smaller island
Apparently the rich team forgot how pissed off they were at Mercedes and a couple of the others on the poor team for just sitting out in the ocean on the first day while they were busy making a shelter, and then the poor team raced in and took it over, leaving them all to sit out in the rain. If she hadn't left, they would have all turned on her again the moment she displayed her lazy ways again.
You go to work at 10 and leave at 12. OMG, how do you do it?? This man is my hero.
If Mercedes stays until the end of this challenge she will become a BMW.
Those birds were weird .. they didn’t move at all they were just there waiting to be catch 😮
Riight😂..those were obviously farmed birds.
So was the fat one
they are definitely not wild animals. Wild birds usually are extremely fast and they run and glide when you try to catch them
"you'd be more to have a night in out camp" she stays forever!
Trying to get to a tiny island 100 times smaller than their own is the most idiotic idea yet. And they had the landwhale in tow. It's a miracle none of those morons drowned.
Bear Grylls points out to us that each person has different talents. Mercedes is laziness. Not only did she fail to keep the fire going, she didn't even help with the net. All she had to do is sit on her butt and put the already gathered wood that was laying next to it, on it, and sit on it again and help untangle the net. She contributed zero.
the amount of food they actually find, doesn't add up to the time they are saying that they are on this island.
35:50 BRO just called her an elephant and she hugs him LMAO WTF
those are the worst whistles i have heard so far... a proper whistle would have been heard at the other side of the island
the jungle won't even let a whistle go for much more than 100m
@@Flaschenteufel thats not a jungle... The forest behind my house is denser than this
@@7CH-912-CC3 sure
Catches chicken dinner....wipes out an endangered species😂😂😂 I kid I kid
I’m watching this and thinking, why not dig a pit for the piggies on the island? Surely a better use of energy? If that iguana was so easy to catch, why not catch more? That island would have easier to get to closer to the island ? There would be NO way you could have got me on that “raft” - it’s a terrible thing.
Barnes trying to console Mercedes by comparing her to an Elephant 😂😂😂
I don’t like how they are always crying about how hard it is. I mean haven’t they watched past seasons? Also don’t understand why they never seemed to have research edible plants and how to trap birds and stuff. I know it’s not easy but at least they could try.
Often people who say who are the leaders, are not.. leaders lead by example, not by words.
"I'm really worried about Barnes !! He's slipped and fallen and hit his head on a rock and fell on a sharp stick in his guts and a venomous snake has bitten him and the scorpions are stinging his bottom and eagles are gouging his eyes out !!". LoL or... He's just lost.
"Ohh. A thunder!" (*sits there and does nothing*)... "ohhh. A lightning." (*nearly falls asleep*)
Mercedes worried about not contributing to the group..
Like she contributed a lot in the earlier episodes 🤣
Barnes, what a come back! nice job!
So they welcome her to their group and she just...shows up....eats their fucking chicken and bails? lol
45:24 so she came to eat the food, missed out, went to the next camp and ate their food and then peaced out the next day.
It's really hard for an over weight person to survive alone in the island tbh
Tbh they a bunch of idiot. First they decided to went on the raft while the ocean literally telling them is not good day to go on raft.. 2nd they let the fat woman to go with them, really? Idk if this is part of the script to make more drama to the show.. if you have common sense you will see everything they does was wrong unless is the part of the script.
I think that depends on how overweight they are. Someone who is 20 pounds overweight, but active will probably have an easier time than a slender person, or a person who is 100 pounds overweight.
@@annep.1905 so true!
its also about attitude. She's so lazy she cant even maintain their fire.
@@IckyGuy_08 Unlikely. She held down a job. More than likely she has probably never had to deal with pushing through this kind of pain and exhaustion before, having always had access to pills for pain, and coffee.
Why is it when ever they really need food it`s found not far from their camp site or just off the beach?
The whole raft thing just seems so set up to me.
The fishing net from out of nowhere, It`s not like they have`nt been there umpteen times before.
Are those flightless birds? Did they clip their wings or something. Earlier episodes they couldn't get near them, but now they just sit and wait to get grabbed??? WTH.....
Weird how everyone starves for a week then 3 birds just appear behind them that they can pluck from the tree without effort. Its almost like its totally fake
This show sure exposes how most of you wont be surviving when this world falls apart lol
Mercedes is a complete liability and rafting to the other island is pure stupidity..
That's 5 deaths. They shouldn't be allowed to remain on the island as they have failed
wasn't that fish a fresh water fish? I guess somebody put it in the net to make the team happy ;)
don't know about that, but the snake, chicken and iguana seemed quite easy to catch
Actualy there are some species of saltwater catfish such as the hardhead catfish wich seems to be the one captured
there is a catfish that is seawater but that iguana and turkey they caught on the show is immobile more to say they are more domesticated than wild because I hunt wild bird, iguana, monitor lizard before. Usually wild animals are extremely fast and agile and sometimes they fight back
Fat woman wasn’t surprising i kinda expected this to happen 😂
The casting was finally done right! Very much enjoy this season even though the rich poor concept was strange to me before.
should do a show involving different nationalities. Brits vs Candaians vs Americans vs Mexicans. the ratings would be through the roof!
Great idea! The could add new features an make it multi national event. Jus keep the righ order:
(1) bring Native Americans. After they settle:
(2) bring in mixed Portuguese and Spanish group
(3) wait untill group No1 is 90% unable to move due to diseases brought by group No2
(4) bring in British people. Let them quarell, half starve to death
(5) make British group split, wait till they expell half of them back.
In next season:
(6) France v Ger/Russia
(7) remach: Ger v France/UK/Russia (you can remake that episode twice)
(8) Germans, Russians and Poles on the same island (just make sure to put Poles in the middle, wih all resources left to the other two).
Ultimate season:
(9) RuSSia v Ukraine - all resources given to Rus, Ukrainians on hard mode (no food, water, no tools), Rus group 4x larger.
Sit and watch how in short time the latter go on top of the former. 😜
So she ate their chicken and then left... sounds about right.
Samy was laughing when others were struggling i guarantee that she will last another one ep only
