Alone Show Winners Lists
Winning a season of “Alone” may be the most impressive reality tv show accomplishments. The contest is intense, grueling, and captivating. Making it onto the Alone Season Winners List is like the green jacket for survivalist. And winning the Alone Season Survival Challenge can earn the champion a million dollars.
What does it take to win the toughest outdoor survival challenge ever seen on TV? It’s simple, you just need to survive a little longer than the nine other people you are competing with. And the people you are competiting with just happen to be the best survivalist on the planet.
The last outdoor survivalist left standing becomes an Alone Season Winner and gets the prize even if they tap out just moments after the other. Can you imagine both contestants lasting months alone in isolation and tapping out within hours of each other? This article will highlight the alone season winners and what they did to win.
Alone Season 1 Winner Alan Kay
Alan Kay winner of Alone Season 1 $500,000.00 challenge after spending 56 days on Vancouver Island. He never showed any signs of tapping out from the challenge and looked prepared to survive the entire year. Alan Kay from Blairsville, Georgia, lost 60 lbs that’s a little alarming, but his determination to survive alone never wavered. Sam Larson from Lincoln, Nebraska, was the second place runner-up in Alone Season 1 lasting 55 days on Vancouver Island. Sam’s initial goal was surviving 50 days that was good enough for second place, but as far as Alan was concerned, He was just starting to prepare for winter time.
In addition to winning the half million dollar prize, Alan Kay’s Survival, Preparation and Self Defense training classes sell out fast because of his new success on Alone. Needless to say, Alan’s also treated like a celebrity star among his outdoor survival instructor peers for winning the toughest outdoor alone challenge ever seen on TV.
Congratulations, Alan, Sam and all the contestants for making Alone a phenomenal success for this Outdoor Reality TV Show.
Alone Season 2 Winner Dave McIntyre
While Alone Season 1 was 10 episodes determining a winner, the Alone contestants for Season 2 is 13 brand new episodes. As of this writing, the first ten episodes of Alone Show Season 2 have narrowed it down to the remaining four contestants. The Alone Season 2 winner Dave McIntyre, Jose Amoede Nicole Apelian or Larry Roberts all survived over 50 days on Vancouver Island and all close to Alan Kay’s 56-day record. A lot can happen in three more episodes, but I already know who won Alone in Season 2. At least I think I know and we’ll soon find out if my predictions are correct.
And the winner of Alone Survival Show in Season 2 is Dave McIntyre. While Dave was never ranked at the top of the list until the 10th episode, His mindset after 50 days is similar to season 1 winner Alan Kay. Dave isn’t surviving on the island, but thriving with a positive mental attitude focused on long-term survival. While the other contestants food sources are dwindling, (or certainly not expanding) Dave’s finding new ways of catching fish and dungeness crab on a consistent basis. After 50 days, McIntyre’s found his second wind and genuinely is having a great time all Alone on Vancouver Island.
Alone Season 2 Second Runner Up
Alone Season 2 Second Place Winner: Jose Martinez spent the majority of the first 50 days Alone on Vancouver Island building primitive survival tools including a very impressive canoe. Out of all the remaining contestants, Jose’s eaten the least amount of protein in the past two months. In fact, Alone Show doesn’t show Jose catching his first fish until the 50th day inside his canoe. He now has a reliable way of catching fish, but is it too late before the winter storms arrive?
After 50 days Larry Roberts is still surviving on Limpets and Periwinkle stew and mentally isn’t in a good place. Larry said on episode 10 He’s accomplished everything he wanted to do and will be tapping out soon. The only thing keeping Larry in the competition is the $500,000.00 prize. At what point is no amount of money worth what he’s putting himself through mentally?
With the salmon run almost over, Nicole Apelian is losing her main food source fast with no backup plan shown during the Show. On day 50, Nicole shows the first signs not being her cheerful self and genuinely concerned how much longer she can survive. She’s now hungry enough to walk down Bear trails scavenging salmon bones for leftover meat. If Nicole doesn’t find a new food source soon, She’ll have no choice but to tap out of the competition.
So there you have it, my prediction for Alone Season 2 Winner three weeks before the final episode’s on the History Channel. Only one outdoor survivalist will win the $500,000.00 prize and take their seat next to Alan Kay. But after surviving 50 days all Alone under those circumstances, they’re all winners in my book.

Alone Season 3 Winner – Zachary Fowler
Zachary Fowler won Alone Season 3 by surviving for 87 days in isolation. Alone Season 3 sets a new record with Zachary Fowler winning $500,000.00 after 87 days surviving alone in Patagonia. There’s a little controversy how Alone Season 3 Finale ended when Carleigh Fairchild was pulled from the show after 86 days. The controversy had nothing to do with Zach, but everything to do with how the producers chose to end the show. We now know Carleigh spent several days in the Hospital and took five months to recover fully.

Alone Season 7 Winner – Roland Welker
Alone season 7 shows us all one thing, Roland Welker is a bad man. The Red Devil, Alaska native was able to spend an unprecented 100 days alone in the wilderness! What really impressed us throughout the series was his mindset. Even in the most unforgiving conditions, he seemed to maintain a positive outlook.
This mindset is contrasted with the news of the passing of his mother. While training for the season, Roland’s mother passed away. Roland dedicated this contest to her and we are sure she lifted him up during the dark nights. We’re also sure his mindset may be even more positive now, as the winner of this season was given one million dollars.
Once again, the season took place along the coast of the east arm of the Great Slave Lake. Welker believes his experience in the area gave him the advantage he needed to win. Whatever is the case, it is clear that Roland Welker may be one of the best survivalists alive.
The 10 items that Roland Welker brought with him were:
- Sleeping bag
- Gill net
- Ferro rod
- An Axe
- Pot
- A Ferro Rod
- Trapping Wire
