Jack
Despite being given the all-clear from the Alone medical team to carry on in the reality competition, father-of-two Jack made the tough decision to withdraw after 16 days in the wilderness and little luck hunting his own food.
"It is a hard decision but it's a clear, logical decision for me because I can feel my body getting weaker," he lamented.
"Your mind starts thinking of your family and the important things in your life. I think that if I continue I'd be putting myself at risk. I want to finish strong.
"I'm a predator and I want to finish as a predator and not a victim of the wilderness. It's important for me to go home healthy."
Jason
This proud Yanyuwa, Waanyi/Garawa man ultimately reached the limits of what he could achieve on Alone, telling producers when they came to pick him up after tapping out that he just didn't trust himself "out in this environment" after loosing a staggering 11kgs in 8 days.
"I'm getting these dizzy spells and I'm just feeling really sort of muddled and stretched I suppose. Yeah, I think I've reached my physical, and mental limits as well. I don't know if I can go another day without food in the belly," he shared.
"I think psychologically it's too much to deal with and I'm ready to call it a day. I feel like I've tried everything within my skillset to be able to make a go of it here but the land just kicked my ass. It's bittersweet but I don't have any regrets. It's been a massive learning curve for everything I don't know about my physical and mental limitations."
"I have an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the experience."
Chace
As this year's youngest survivalist, this 27-year-old knew he had something to prove when it came to surviving and thriving alone.
But after 10 days in the wilderness of New Zealand, the Defence Force combat engineer made the decision to withdraw, telling his camera that he missed his wife Annie, who he discovered was two months pregnant just days before he was due to depart for the wilderness.
"Home is calling and it's a hard call to ignore," an emotional Chace shared.
"I feel like I've made the right choice. There are priorities elsewhere. It's important to me now that I get home and take care of my family."
Leanne
After four gruelling days in the wilderness, proud Barkandji woman Leanne voluntarily withdrew from the competition, citing a desire to return to her husband Rob (who was on season one of Alone Australia) and their children after battling intense feelings of homesickness.
Given she was essentially starving on a cold, wet beach, it's no surprise that she was feeling emotional and wanted to be with her loved ones, and not alone.
Mike
From the moment he was dropped off at his isolated stretch of beach by the production crew, it seemed like everything was smooth sailing for resilience coach Mike.
Sadly however on his first night, the 60-year-old began experiencing heart pains and made the tough (and very smart decision) to tap out and receive medical attention in the form of an ECG, which came back ok.
"When you're my age, when you think about chest pain you can't help but think it could be something drastic," Mike said to his camera in the episode.
"What is my life, have I reached my limit? That's why I made the call."
"I really thought I was going to die," he added.
While the cause of the heart pains that Mike was feeling has not yet been confirmed, thankfully the father of three has recovered.
