Fat Bear Week Kicks Off in Alaska Amid Tragedy

The annual Fat Bear Week competition has officially begun in Alaska, despite a tragic incident involving one of this year's contestants. The event, which encourages viewers to vote for their favorite brown bear as they bulk up for winter, started a day late following the fatal mauling of bear 402 by bear 469 on Monday.

The incident occurred along the Brooks River, with cameras already in place for the livestreamed event. The reasons behind the attack remain unclear, casting a somber shadow over this year’s festivities. Katmai National Park and Preserve released a statement emphasizing the survival challenges faced by these bears in their natural habitat.

Every year, brown bears at Katmai National Park consume massive quantities of salmon to prepare for hibernation, and twelve bears are selected to compete in the Fat Bear Week bracket. This year's contestants include the reigning champion, Grazer, who is raising her first cub, and last year's runner-up, Chunk.

Fat Bear Week has evolved over the past decade from a single-day event with 1,700 votes to a global celebration that attracted nearly 1.4 million votes from over 100 countries in 2023. Fans can cast their votes daily on Explore.org’s website, with the winner to be announced on October 8.

Fat Bear Week 2023

I almost missed it again. Last year I got in on the last few days of Fat Bear Week and this year it is the same. 2 days of voting left. I have resolved to mark my calendar for next year so that I don’t miss a day of voting! The event runs from October 4-10, 2023 so there really are only a couple of days left to vote. Last year I discovered Fat Bear Week – Katmai National Park and Preserve is…

Episode 9- Hot and Cold Pt 1

The first date up with Blaze and boy did homeboy mess it up terribly. Out of no where Blaze started being mean to Penny for absolute no reason. Then Penny and him started being mean to one another to the point he had negative romance with her :/ Despite the date being awkward Blaze offered a white flag and they spent the rest of the date stargazing. Which meant they were able to salvage a bit of their romantic relationship. On the other hand, Penny had been so antsy to go on her solo date with Zaddy Darius. Our girl is so DOWN BAD for him. She was flirting with him and feeding him all dinner. They learned a lot about one another like, Darius now understands where Penny's rage/jealousy comes from (she told him about cain/vinny) and she learned a bit about his late wife. Maybe it was the champagne or her horniness but Penny invited Darius into her bedroom and in the middle of the nasty she confessed that she liked him a lot.... she's now so embarrassed and honestly, same girl. @aniraklova @rasoyas

Anywaaaaaays, tomorrow's part will be the second elimination!

Staring mini contests

To be fair there's some evidence about some staring contests between Syd and Marcus, even Syd and Richie and also between Carmy and C. Do I care about those? Ofc not! And also, the tension between them was not the same as the tensionS between Syd & Carmy. More about those tensionS → HERE

The Bearchelor: Meet the contestants!

Introducing the 6 contestants on the Bearchelor, who will be competing for the affections of our eligible bachelor: Kevin Beare!

"I'm Francis, and I'm a student at La Fiesta Tech. You may be familiar with my dad, congressman Francis Worthington Jr. I can assure you that going on this show is unrelated to my dad's bid at mayor of SimCity, nor is it damage control for the allegations of any alleged incidents that are alleged to have occurred at the LFT society that my dad or I allegedly have been involved in. Allegedly."

"I'm Gunnar, and I'm the lead guitarist of the Shifting Paradymes. I know the ladies want me, the guys want me, and honestly it's really tiring to have everyone compete for my attention. This would be perfect because for once I'm not the one everyone's swooning over, ya know?"

"My name's Jared, and I'm just here for the food to be honest"

"I'm Aldric, I'm a Freshman at La Fiesta Tech, and for some damn reason my stupid twin brother decided to sign up for this show as well."

"I'm Almeric, I'm also a Freshman at LFT, and I'm confused why my loser brother would sign up for something like this in the first place."

"You snooped through my mail to find out I was doing this. This is just like when I sent out my college applications, or like the time I came out to mom and you had to butt in to tell her that you're gayer."

"I'm Castor, I'm studying at Sim State, and I'm one of Kevin's frat bros at Urele Oresha Cham. I signed up for the show because I heard Kevin was doing it, so I thought "why not"? I don't think I have a big advantage over the rest because Kevin's never thought about me in this way. I mean, at least I don't think so.
