The good: the Hailstone family. It has been fun watching them and their girls evolve over the years, and the seem, despite their off show issues, to be decent people.
Glenn was a weirdo, but fun.
The general real feel of the show seems authentic.
The bad: Sue. Del Griffith (John Candy's character in Planes, Trains, & Automobiles) in the flesh and blood. Annoying, self-absorbed, dramatic, completely self-unaware, and the queen of the anecdote, listener be damned. It's been a long time since I have seen a reality TV personaluty as unlikeable as Sue. She's not a survivalist. She's an actress, and a poor one. NatGeo found a middle aged, annoying, fat loudmouth to go live in Alaska and talk about how great she is for 11 years. They should make a show about how they did that. But there is no way she remained that fat and loud and annoying living by herself in Alaska for 11 years. Alaska would teach you to be humble, or at the very least skinny with all the labor and lack of junk food. Not Sue. Andy...wife beater scumbag. Shame, because he seems like he could be a good addition to the show. But I can't watch a scumbag like that. I FF past him and Sue, so I only watch half of the show.
