The reality TV series, Alone has a whopping nine seasons and two spinoffs on the History Channel. In each regular season, 10 contestants compete at a chance for $500,000. The producers drop each participant in a remote location where they must survive alone. The person who lasts the longest wins the grand prize. However, Alone contestants have to follow plenty of rules to earn that cash.

‘Alone’ Rules: Contestants must remain in their assigned territory

When the History Channel and Alone producers drop the contestants into the wilderness, they assign them a territory. The Alone survivalists cannot leave their designated location, which proves to be a difficult rule for some contestants. The Alone Season 9 winner, Juan Pablo Quiñonez, revealed this rule was the most challenging for him. “To me, the spot right around the river — the grass is always greener, right? — the other side of the river was the spot to be in,” told TV Insider. “But that was not the spot where I was dropped in. Mentally, just being constrained to my territory was personally very hard, just thinking, ‘Oh, I could just be in a better spot, but I can’t.'”

‘Alone’ Rules: contestants are subject to medical checks

Although there is no set of tasks that Alone contestants have to complete, another rule is that they must participate in medical checks. Alone has a medical professional team that checks the contestants’ vitals, mental health, and BMI. The producers do everything they can to ensure no one dies in Alone. According to executive producer Shawn Witt, the checks occur weekly when the show begins. However, after day 45, the medical checks occur every three to four days. If an individual’s BMI drops below 17, the team pulls the participant from the competition.
