I would suspect, and maybe I am wrong, that there will be a final episode to discuss what they went through and get everyone together one more time. Discovery Channel is pretty good with that stuff. There is one next week for the wrap up on Deadliest Catch which was one the hour before.

I believe with the show Les Stroud did, though different format, also did a follow up show.

I was also a bit disappointed in the finale. I came to the conclusion that somehow information was passed to the players through the film crew or a producer over the course of the show.

WHY do I think this?

They did not get to set the time of their stay in shelters. So either it was a note we did not see, included with the map or someone told them they could only stay a two days or whatever.

When the bear guide showed up the first time, it was technically the first person they had seen in a couple weeks aside from the show crew. I believe that the players if they had not met the guide in their training at least knew to expect him. The second time he showed up, I don't know, the way they acted leads me to believe maybe they did not expect him again.

After following the map for as long as they did between shelters with little deviation, to suddenly stop at a railroad track seems suspicious and wait for a train seemed odd. It leads me to believe that they were counseled to stick around.
