If it is a thing, they can still gather up the ripped bills and transport it. Obviously the burned ones are gone.


It's not real money but the fakes represent the total they have. And I can't see how transporting ripped bills would help since they won't be able to use them anyways.

after the money was ripped/burned they literally showed a before and after money count on the screen

I mean it sure looks like they're carrying around 350k of fake or real money in tens and twenties.

Ripped real bills are still usable if you have 3/4 of the bill or so

This. And they should/could have nearly 100% if they gathered it.

How much did the show calculate was lost due to rippage/burnage?

Looked like these were being ripped into smaller pieces in some instances and obviously lots were burned too. I can't imagine they have the ability to reconstruct the bills either

about 65K

it seems close to me based on how much they gave back and the money has checked out overall imo

a million dollar bills weighs about a ton. it says they've been carrying about 50 pounds of money on the most recent journeys which is 22K individual bills. they appear to have mostly 10s and 20s, so if its an even split that much weight would result in around $300-400K which is where they are at total wise.

Not giving them hundreds is definitely the biggest troll of the whole show

I actually wonder how well made the fake bills are. Money is extremely durable for paper, with wet strength and water resistance. If it was just regular paper that would be a massive massive pain in the ass if they get wet.

Good person ranking/who I'm most likely to be friends w/ if I hung out with them a few times: Cody, Makani, Alex, Alonso, Eilish, & gina.

I'm not convinced Cody is as bad of a guy as the show makes him out to be - I think he is one of the only ones treating this like a game and a way to make a lot of money.

Makani is attractive and seems fun and nice (until she is bullied by the campers and unites w/ Hero).

Alex is a little too sure of himself and seems kinda dorky, but outside of the show he seems like he'd be okay.

Alonzo seems cocky too but he cries too much (and quits). How are you going to threaten to beat someone up on a TV show where there is this kind of money on the line so you both know you can't fight. He also tried to act like he was so loyal by passing on a temptation, but then when it comes down to it he had the choice to flair like a punk or fight cody like he said he would (so both get kicked off - helping your team) and he flared.

Eilish & Gina both seem like boring and annoying people to hang out with, but Gina barely edges out Eilish to take home the crown of worst of the last 6.

I'd rank Gina ahead of Eleish. Possibly even ahead of Alex and Alonzo. She's extremely useless but she isn't as terrible a person.

Eleish is 22 with a kid and lives in a trailer. Her slut ranking has to be higher than Gina's.

i am with everyone else HATING alex on the show, but i get the feeling he is probably a decent guy off the show. this show just ended up bringing out the worst in him. and it made for great tv. if it wasn't for alex and his band of idiots, the show would be way worse. half the fun is just watching how deluded and stupid they are.

cody is an ass. he too makes great tv! but he is an ass. he is not a hero. and if he does try to poison the other team next episode, that is inexcusable

i mean cody was even reluctant to keep gina from drowning! though it should be noted that ****ing pos alex wasn't helping gina wtf

Cody was actually the most sympathetic to Gina not being able to swim. Alex was doing nothing to help her and Makani was completely fine with her drowning while Cody was basically like "I want her to go home, but not actually die."

I thought Alex was likable the first few episodes then he turned into an utter dumpster fire.

Reading his blog confirms he is a delusional idiot outside of the game too. He is writing it trying to save face. I'm confused if pro-Alex posters on his blog are real or if they are gimmicks of his.

Also, the Alonzo PTSD claim was ludicrous and offensive.

Quote:
Nicki asked:*I was surprised after watching Stranded with a Million Dollars by the harsh comments about Alonzo.*It seems like some of the cast members (i.e. Cody) and many viewers are completely clueless about PTSD and why this condition could make the hardships of the island affect him so negatively.*I’m shocked by the lack of compassion.*Does Alonzo ever get a chance to explain or does the narrative of the show touch more on this subject?

*Nicki, I thought the best way to answer this was to have Alonzo offer you an answer personally.*He sent me the following statement:

Quote:
“Well, I’m not surprised at the harshness because there are many more ignorant people than intelligent people out there in the world.*It’s almost impossible to hold the viewers to a high standard of intelligence.

I often wonder if I’ll ever get a chance to explain myself, but unfortunately, that’s not up to me, and I do not control the narrative nor do I control the opinion of viewers who have honestly seen very little of the story and all of its facts (versus what something may have looked like on TV).

Nevertheless, I enjoyed my experience and would do it again.”
You had a chance right there Alonzo. Explain your supposed PTSD.

also, ignorance and intelligence are completely unrelated.

i figured makani was having trouble herself carrying all that weight. i thought she wasn't able to help.

it's pretty shocking that alex didn't help. he wasn't carrying ****, right? or did he have like 30 pounds that trip?

i know cody was carrying more than anyone.

and i'm not sure how much gina can or cant swim. some people say they can't swim, and just mean they aren't good swimmers. but either way it's terrifying to be in the ocean like that, and i give gina some credit for doing it. i know people who can swim, but are still scared to be in the ocean.

Carrying the money from camp to camp is the biggest joke, lol 10s and 20s. Jfc MTV

The majority group's logic to explain their actions was so disgusting. It was the only thing keeping me from quitting the show. I wanted to see them punished my MaCody

Gina's probably been pregnant more times than Eleish tho

Wow I thought they were going to tell them they **** in their water supply since they said it was the only water source near them.

I hope maCody both don't get the boot for ****ting in the water source and not telling them.

they seem to be making up rules as they go along

after the first challenge the four losers stole from makodys tent while they were using their challenge reward. this time they couldnt do that

also they should have been denied the 100K again since they still dont have the flares/radio

and finishing literally every journey so far WITHIN THE LAST MINUTE when it took like 7 hours without incentive makes me call BS on the time restriction being real

Kind of OK with them making up rules as they went along as it's kind of hard to really envision what the hell this game show is all about from first principles. Hopefully subsequent seasons will be more well defined.
