Let’s have a cozy share news about something exciting – “Win The Wilderness: Alaska.” I bet you’ve been wondering, “Where are they now?” Well, let me spill the tea on everything you need to know.
Win The Wilderness: Alaska – A Quick Recap
So, there’s this awesome British TV competition, “Win the Wilderness: Alaska,” created by Twofour. Picture this: six British couples, wild challenges, and an elderly couple with a homestead near Denali National Park in Alaska. The grand prize? Ownership of this stunning homestead that belonged to Duane and Rena Ose. Now, these two weren’t just your average homesteaders; Duane filed the last claim under the Homestead Act of 1862 in 198Talk about history! The homestead, called Ose Mountain, sits about 100 miles from the nearest road, and the only way to reach it is through its private airfield. Now, imagine the adventure and challenges our contestants faced in the vast wilderness of Alaska.
Where Are They Now? Let’s Catch Up!
Our hunter and fisherman extraordinaire, Paul Preece, calls Knoxville, Tennessee, home these days. Oh, and did I mention he’s got a podcast named “The Horns”? In the debut episode, he chats with Seth, Nick, and Angie Kenai about their Outlast experiences. Paul’s journey to Alaska is more than just a competition; it’s a test of a lifetime. Growing up in eastern Kentucky, facing homelessness and chilly nights, he believes Alaska is the ultimate challenge he’s been preparing for without even knowing. Next up is Nick Radner, a teacher based in sunny Florida, still rocking the English Language at Palm Harbor University High. Nick, in his Netflix chat, admitted he wasn’t sure about surviving in the wild. Alaska, with its history of claiming lives, seemed daunting. Despite the fear, he’s eager to explore the wilderness, balancing excitement with a healthy dose of awareness about its dangers. Our former US Marine, Seth Lueker, has set up camp in Winchester, Virginia, with his family after winning Outlast. Sharing his unique skill set – determination, levelheadedness, communication skills, and a knack for improvisation – Seth humorously declares he’s “too dumb to die.” Well, he sure outsmarted the wilderness!
What About the Winners, Mark and Emily?
Now, here’s the real juicy gossip. Mark Warner and Emily Padfield, the champions of “Win the Wilderness,” are still happily together and proud owners of the Alaskan property they snagged on the show. After winning, they spent a month with Duane and Rena on the homestead before jetting back to the UK. Pandemic blues hit, making it tricky to physically claim the property.
And guess what? Drama alert! Duane, after Rena’s passing, got romantically involved with Ellie-Mae Blair. Mark and Emily suspect she might have influenced him, causing a rift. Duane went on a Facebook spree, posting some not-so-nice things about the couple, claiming he wants to reclaim his legacy from those “faux foreigners” who don’t care about his wishes. Talk about a twist!
Current Status: A Balancing Act
Mark and Emily keep us updated on their farm life in the UK and Alaskan adventures through Emily’s Instagram. While they don’t live on the Alaskan property full-time due to visa hiccups, they’re actively looking into visa options to return ASAP. The pandemic adds a dash of uncertainty to flying, but they’re in touch with friends in Alaska and have big plans in the works. Emily spilled the beans that there’s a lot to sort out, including snagging a longer visa than an ESTA.
So, there you have it, folks! The lowdown on “Win The Wilderness: Alaska” and where our fearless contestants and winners are now. Until next time, stay wild and adventurous!
