There\u2019s a reason that reality shows set in wild places\xa0hold our attention: we can\u2019t help but imagine that it\u2019s us out there. This is especially true when we watch\xa0Alone, the hit series on the History Channel that has contestants truly by themselves in all kinds of brutal environments, doing their best to both survive while also filming themselves. This raw approach to voyeuristic entertainment ultimately make us empathize with these hungry, tired, and frightened people\u2014so much that we just can\u2019t stop watching.
