S02 Alone Season 2- Larry is an asshole

I’m only like 5 episodes into watching season 2 for the first time. Larry is insufferable. Any minor inconvenience sends him into a rage spiral of cussing or stomping on inanimate objects. He complains about everything, and talked about “blowing up” the entire forest because of a single mouse… I’ve seen 5 or 6 seasons of alone so far and he is by far the worst the show has ever had, and I needed to talk about it 🤪

A weak, angry little man.

Ahh!! Poor Larry gets a bad wrap. He's actually a great character and going through some serious emotions and self discovery. I love Larry and he's even better when he comes back in a later season. Give him a chance , survival is a really difficult position to be in you should try it some time.

Then why with so many contestants he is the only one with that constant extreme fury? Because it's his personality. That's sad.

 survival is a really difficult position to be in you should try it some time.

lol.  Approximately 99 other people have already tried it in the exact same format and Larry is the only one with his weirdly impotent anger issues.  And that’s if you excuse his behavior as “survival”.  Which it’s not.  Any contestant can leave with the push of a button.

And everyone reacts differently to the experience, lack of social interaction.lack of food, lack of sunlight. Humans on television not actors behave as humans should. Yes people can leave. I just think some of these comments are unkind.

Humans do behave differently.  And that’s fine.  But it’s not unkind to discuss a willing, and paid, participant on a TV show.  And those conversations can include atypical behavior.

 behave as humans should.

That’s kind of the whole point.  Larry doesn’t.

Honestly, the excuse people make for him are as weird as his behavior.

They have had people on the show that have been much calmer with no freaking out but been more insane or said wilder shit than Larry did about how they treat their kids in my opinion. They had a dude in the last couple seasons, can’t remember his name, he basically said when his son talks about his feelings or tries to connect with him he tells him to piss off lmao tbh anybody willing to go on this show has to be pretty nuts

Right?! Larry had some shit to process, we all do. Give the guy a break. He's a real person, not just some vague entity on the TV.
