There's an island off Nova Scotia where people have been digging for buried treasure for like 200 years. It might be pirates treasure or it might even be the Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant buried by the Knights Templar. They're having problems finding the original treasure hole because so many holes have been dug.
Oh, that sounds good! I'll have to look for that.

I just set Alone to be recorded. A repeat of S3 ep 1 is on tomorrow morning and ep 2 is on tomorrow evening. How confused am I going to be jumping in on season 3?
Not at all. But, hopefully, you recorded the episode that tells about the process of picking the contestants. Not necessary to watch, but does give you some insight into how they do that, and about the people they picked. They do rehash that in the next episodes, but that first one on how they choose their contestants and what training they go through is interesting.

Last year, a guy didn't even spend ONE night because he saw bear scat. Not one night! They barely dropped him off and he tapped out. I could've lasted one night.

THis should give you more information about the people.

And apparently, they get a list of things they can bring. They can choose 10 items from that list, so that's always interesting what they pick to bring and why. How important will these items be for their survival?

I watched the first couple episodes. Have you watched? Don't read my spoiler if you havn't.

The students in Jim's survival class are going to give him grief for wimping out on day 3 :rofl: Zack is cute :) I shouldn't like him just because he's cute but... he's really really cute lol. And that fish trap was pretty clever. I guess we'll never know if it catches any fish :( I'm going to miss Zack *sigh* Callie seems to be totally comfortable in the wild. I think she has a good chance of winning.

You never know on these people. The person last year who I was sure was going to win, tapped out. I couldn't believe it. And the guy who won I was sure was going to be gone soon. One injury can take someone out of the game. But usually, it seems to be they are missing someone.

That looks good!

I'm hooked on another History Channel show... The Curse of Oak Island. It's my favorite show on tv lol.
I watched an episode of The Curse of Oak Island. It is one where they
are digging with machinery and finally hit some wood.

Not sure where that is in the episodes? Do you know what they hit?

They're hoping they've hit the oak chest encased in cement at 153 feet down (image is from the January 1965 issue of Readers Digest).

Since they're drilling within those steel casings, it's the first time digging or drilling has had a chance to find anything before the tunnel floods.

Yes, I know they think they've
hit a chest, just wondering if that was an old show and if you knew what they actually found. So, I'm watching the new shows as they come out? I am intrigued what they will find.

I'm pretty sure you watched the latest episode aired last week (season 4, episode 5 "Bullseye"). Tonight's episode is season 4, episode 6 "Circles in Wood". It's preceded by some repeats but if you watch the episode that comes on right before Hunting Hitler, you'll be watching the latest episode :)
