Well, now that Extracted\u2019s spoiled brat <\/a>is out of the way, can we talk about who the real villain of the series is?<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Anthony through a hissy fit and never made it through the night. It resulted in him embarrassing his parents even further and shocking everyone in the room with his angry tirade.<\/p>\n

Tony felt the best way to end his embarrassment and his son\u2019s \u201cmisery\u201d was to extract him, leaving a front-running family to exit the series sans prize and dignity.<\/p>\n

Anthony\u2019s Exit Puts Much-Needed Spotlight on Austin<\/h2>\n

But here\u2019s the thing; without Anthony, there throwing temper tantrums and giving Gen-Z<\/a> a bad name, it allows the spotlight to focus squarely on Extracted\u2019s most problematic contestant thus far, freaking Austin.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how Austin is offscreen. For all we know, he\u2019s an entirely different person, and he\u2019s getting a crappy edit.<\/p>\n

We can only go according to what we see on this show.<\/p>\n

And everything Extracted has shown about Austin thus far screams that he is a walking red flag to the point of sounding off all the alarms.<\/p>\n

It was already disconcerting when we heard Ashley admit she was on the series and wanted to participate in this Hunger Games-level torture show to prove that she could hack it with Austin and his hardcore, outdoorsy family.<\/p>\n

The implication in what she was saying was that she somehow wasn\u2019t already worthy of them and felt she needed to go above and beyond in something that aligned with their interest to prove her worth.<\/p>\n

Ashley had some issues during the first installment, and with no other distractions, we could direct our full attention to how terrible of a partner Austin comes across in this challenge.<\/p>\n

He behaves like Ashley\u2019s struggles in the field are an embarrassing reflection on him, and he must subsequently punish her for not getting things right.<\/p>\n

The only embarrassing thing on display is his viciousness regarding his future wife.<\/p>\n

Austin writes off toxic, cruel behavior as \u201ctough love\u201d when the reality is that there is little love found in how he speaks about and treats his fiancee.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s reached a point where his behavior has caught the eye and ear of the other teams and contestants, and they\u2019re put off by how he treats his fiancee, too.<\/p>\n

The most glaring point is that his father is having a come-to-Jesus moment, not unlike Tony, regarding Anthony over how he raised his son and where he could have gone wrong.<\/p>\n

From what we\u2019re seeing, Austin lacks basic empathy. If he can\u2019t even exude some compassion toward his future wife when they\u2019re under stress, where do they go from there?<\/p>\n

However, even if we set aside him 100% NOT giving off Grade-A Husband Material right now, he\u2019s also illogical as a competitor in this game.<\/p>\n

It makes no sense that he\u2019s hellbent on Ashley learning how to do things the hard or most basic way rather than giving her the tools she needs to make this experiment easier on her.<\/p>\n

All the other teams are going out of their way to give their survivalist whatever they need to last longer in the game. They\u2019re willing to manipulate, strategize, and everything else to make it work.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re all true allies and assets for their survivalist teammate, and in doing so, it guarantees their whole team can last longer in the game and possibly win and take the prize money home.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ashley is out here competing with the Canadian wilderness, other teams, and her fiance. What do you even do when your life partner is more of an adversary than an ally?<\/p>\n

Scott realizes the flaw in whatever \u201cplan\u201d Austin thinks he\u2019s enacting. Unfortunately, he\u2019s not nearly as vocal about it as he should be, and it could cost them the game sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

For the second time in a row, we watched Austin give up a chance to aid his fiancee so he could teach her a lesson or make her \u201ctough it out\u201d to prove herself.<\/p>\n

It was particularly abhorrent as he arrogantly passed up two methods of securing her fire, which she desperately needed and requested.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re watching Ashley freeze her ass off in the cold, unable to make a fire to last through the night, and Austin is more insistent on her doing it the way he wants, that he doesn\u2019t care what befalls her if she can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

Ashley\u2019s triumphant moment was managing to make a fire despite no materials and the false belief that her partner was doing everything he could to make her life better, but then it burned out as quickly as she made it.<\/p>\n

Somehow, an entire room of strangers and competitors are heartbroken and supporting her more than her fiance. Instead, he threw a tantrum, embarrassed that she couldn\u2019t maintain the fire.<\/p>\n

Austin failing to consider that he could be the reason their team fails, not Ashley is mind-boggling, and it doesn\u2019t matter what anyone does moving forward. He\u2019s tarred and feathered as Extracted\u2019s biggest villain!<\/p>\n

Over to you, Extracted Fanatics. What are your thoughts on Austin? Let\u2019s hear it below!<\/p>\n
