One thing that struck a nerve with me. If you watch Season 11 of Parts Unknown, you can definitely see a man who is at times struggling with himself and who he is, blatantly, openly so at points.

For all the episodes where he is having a ball, it definitely paints a contrast, and a tragic one at that.

His return to Borneo was rather profound, for me. He seemed to be battling demons, be it substance or other.

I've never seen the show, is there a clip you can point me to? I'm curious how apparent it was.
This is a couple of years old, visiting Borneo for the second time, but I think shows it perfectly, particularly his comments on slaughtering a pig with a spear (with accompanying, though censored, visuals):

I picked up on that too.
