Every winner of History's Alone, its spin-offs, Alone Australia and the other national editions, with days lasted and where each season was filmed. Kept current through each season. Spoilers throughout.
Both Big Survival Franchises Went International in the Same Year
History ran a world championship in the Arctic. Discovery ran a forty-day showdown between countries. Neither was a coincidence.
History's thirteenth season of Alone put ten survivalists from seven countries into the Beaufort Delta and crowned a world champion. Discovery's answer, Naked and Afraid: Global Showdown, premiered April 1 and paired survivalists from Brazil, Australia, Mexico and the United States in a forty-day primitive bushcraft competition for what the network called the largest cash prize in franchise history.
Alone Australia Left the Southern Hemisphere
Season four put ten Australians into Sapmi, in northern Finland, chasing $250,000 through a subarctic winter.
The Australian edition premiered its fourth season on SBS on July 15 and is still running weekly. For the first time the show left the Southern Hemisphere entirely, trading Tasmania and Fiordland for the far north of Sapmi, the Indigenous Sami homeland in Finland, and a Northern Hemisphere winter of deep snow, frozen lakes and subzero cold.
A Slovenian Outlasts the Arctic, and Alone Crowns Its First World Champion
Ninety days in the Beaufort Delta, nine rivals gone, and a $500,000 prize that ends the strangest season the show has run.
The thirteenth season of History's Alone closed on September 9 with a title the series had never handed out before. Ziga Ogorelec of Slovenia lasted 90 days by himself above the Arctic Circle, outlasted every other competitor, and walked away with $500,000 and the first world champion designation in the franchise.
Day counts, runners-up and prizes come from each season's own record and the networks' announcements.
