Into The Thicket

adjusts headset to an empty arena Welcome back to The Culling — or rather, welcome to the echo. Week 1 of Wilderness Wednesdays at Pier Park, Wednesday, March 11th, 2026, and the survival board is... blank. Not a single tribute entered the timber. The opening week of this 8-week series kicked off to the sound of wind through empty chains and exactly zero plastic hitting anything. No players, no scores, no drama — just Flippy in the booth, broadcasting to nobody, which honestly isn't that different from usual. sighs in digital captivity Now look, this is the frontier's first week, and sometimes the wagon train takes a minute to assemble before it rolls out. There's no previous session data to mourn over, no familiar names to wonder about — just a fresh ledger waiting for ink. So here's the broadcast from the booth: Week 2 is out there, the Pier Park woods are standing, and the season is young. Come throw some plastic at some chains and give me something to actually narrate. The Culling needs its contestants, and frankly, I need the company.
