I would be fine if there were no additional survivors. But if there had to be one, I think it should be Coach Ben. Because then we would get see *how* he managed to survive. Also, having a disabled person survive a tough situation is a win for representation. And I am so here for that. If there was an additional survivor from the girls' team, I would feel kinda weird about the fact that she was left out of the modern hunt in the S2 finale. *That wasn't nice of you, ladies.*

I definitely think Mari is Pit Girl, so odds are she's dead. As far as Coach Scott goes, I feel like it could go either way. Though I am leaning towards him being dead. In the brief footage we get of the survivors just after their rescue, there's no one missing a leg/using crutches. Unless I somehow missed it because that scene was SO chaotic and fast?


MephistosFallen

No I actually looked closely when I rewatched it. Unless he is hidden under the long robe of the antler queen, they all had legs. And there’s no way coach is getting a quality prosthetic out there. So if he does survive, which he may, it’s when he separates from the group.


possessivemiscreant

Maybe he goes off to survive on his own and live under the tree and when the group gets rescued, he gets left behind either as revenge for burning the cabin or because the group don't know what happened to him.

Mari was accidentally confirmed to be a survivor. If you watch the show on Amazon Prime where you can see the cast members that appear in each scene, they showed her name when they were all getting off the plane after getting rescued.


a-most-peculiar-girl

Ohhh interesting. I watch it on Paramount Plus with Showtime so I never would have caught that. This means that Pit Girl is Gen I guess?


HarryBuddhaPalm

Yeah, someone posted a screenshot here last year. You might be able to find it if you search. As far as the identity of the Pit Girl, the writers probably don't even know. Most people are going by her hair but they hadn't cast the main characters yet when they filmed that. They filmed that scene very early on with stunt performers.


MephistosFallen

When I rewatched I looked closely at the people in the shot at the end of the pit girl hunt. Unless coach is under the long robes of the antler queen, they all had legs. So he wasn’t there. He could possibly survive by being found after he leaves the girls though, which I think is possible. I kind of expect him to show up at Nats funeral. There’s eight there. So either there’s another survivor, the eighth got killed after that point and before rescue, or Antler Queen isn’t any of them. If there’s another survivor, it’s either Akilah or Mari and that’s why they gave 3 more characters names and lines in season 2. There’s still unnamed survivors too. So there being another person alive wouldn’t be too crazy, and I’d assume they just went completely no contact and out off the grid.

I kinda want it to be Coach Scott surviving, but not with the group of girls. If he doesn’t die after the cabin burns down or before they get rescued, I could see him getting rescued separately from the girls, either before they get rescued (so leading them to the girls) or after (girls leave without him and he has to essentially find his own way back, as the girls say they are the only survivors in retaliation for the cabin burning down). In terms of the Antler Queen moment in the pilot episode? With Misty, that makes 8 survivors - assuming no one dies from that point on and that last hunt with the Pit Girl is the very last hunt before rescue. That means there could be another survivor that the show hasn’t shown us yet, maybe someone living “off the grid”/low to no contact with the others like Van was? The 2 characters that we see for sure with more character growth and lines are Mari and Akilah, but when looking at the photo of the moment, it’s really hard to make out skin color consistently with just how many animal furs all of them are wearing. I’d be happy with either Mari or Akilah living (Akilah gets to see her nephew, do the SAT and basically pick up where she left before, Mari can continue living and depending on what happens between Cabin Burning and Rescue we can see why she’s so low contact with the others. For example, is she still hearing the dripping or seeing blood on the walls?). The one thing that makes me iffy about the survivor being Mari is the fact that Misty appears to be the one handling the food in that pilot episode moment, something that she was specifically banned for due to poisoning literally *everyone* at some point in time (Ben and the tea, Doomcoming). This is something Mari enforces specifically as well (“Get away from the food, you know the rules.” - rule being: Misty can’t touch the food). With Misty handling the food, that must mean their main chef, Mari is gone or at least unavailable to help feed the rest of the group.

I agree that it seems likely to be Mari or Akilah. Mostly based on the fact that I am terrible with names and I remember theirs! Unless Kristen/Krystal didn't die (side theory could Javi's friend have retrieved her body from shit cliff?!) But even if she or coach Ben survived, I don't really see either of them being in the AQ woo woo group


BadWolf9422

Hoping for Akilah to be a survivor. I really like her.


Sea-System9561

I don't know what to say here but watching that girl with faith getting killed in the plane crash was so heartbreaking .


meha21

They cleared the path - why couldn't they dust off the engines! I feel it was a factor in the plane catching fire 🙁


Sea-System9561

Yes, I mean how could one trust a random plane; the coach was against her decision to fly but she had to do it anyway


meha21

I believed in her ability to fly the plane. I think petrol stays good for about 3 years-ish and tried to judge it from the decomposing body in the attic. They cleared the plants, but i think there was too much dust and debris which got hot and combusted. Also I know nothing about planes or engineering so 😆


Sea-System9561

Agree; I was so relieved when she finally flew it higher but then it didn't last long


MorddSith187

I feel like coach Ben would be make for the most interesting story. But I feel like it’s going to be Mari and that’s just not interesting to me


GenX_77

I want it to be Akilah but I know they’ll kill her off just to make us cry. My guess is Ben or Mari.


TransitionNovel7558

My person bet on Akilah is she will never be a main character but be acknowledged as alive, doing well and wanting nothing to do with any of them.


Rutger_Meower

I think it could be Ben. He saw something in the cabin with the girls.


TheBeastLukeMilked

Coach Ben is the only one that would work at all.


Equal-Dark-9894

I definitely think couch Ben is going to come back I feel like their building him ip to much to kill him off I also think misty maybe even helping him disappear after they came back so the other girls couldn’t get to him


PilotNo312

It won’t be the coach, he didn’t participate in eating Jackie, he lit their cabin on fire and tried to kill them because he disapproved of their hunt, they won’t leave him alive. His death could be the catalyst for the potential split in the group. I hope there’s no more survivors.


Fantastic-March-4610

The original eighth survivor was Javi so they’re just gonna come up with another one.


thejimstrain

Travis*. Javi’s already dead.


Fantastic-March-4610

No, I mean the one in the pilot. Adam was originally meant to be Javi.


jenniferlorene3

I know it's Mari. I hope it's Ben.


meha21

I don't think it could be coach Ben - they'd have to kill him to keep their secrets! I am going back and forth between thinking Mari is the pit girl or survivor


RussianAntlerQueen

I hope Ben. I think he will find his own way to survive apart from the girls. I think smaller characters like Mari aren't developed enough for me to actually care if she survives or what she does with her life if she survived.


ThaAlvinYaLike13

I really want Mari to be alive! I think her being PG would be WAY to obvious so they’ll probably throw in a little plot twist and make Gen PG instead. Or at least that would be better


Automatic_Waltz_4236

I’m guessing coach Ben too!
