FogHelmut posted:What stood out to me was that they were being lowered down the cliff. Adam did a particularly bad job of pretending to hold onto the triple rope they made, and I don't believe for a second he has the strength to do so anyway. And I really don't believe they were actually belaying each other.

Supreme Allah posted:If you find yourself stranded in the wild with a pallet of duct tape, don't do what the Mythbusters did. Exactly. You should rappel down a cliff face with duck tape. Or, at the very least, wrap yourself in the tape sticky side out and roll down the side of the canyon. They also didn't explain how you should make a shiv with the tape in case your food runs out and you have to kill and eat your traveling companion.

They kind of pointed out the other time he completely freaked out which was the duct tape bridge.

Welp. If I'd known that the entirety of Nic Walenda's walk across the Grand Canyon (not actually the Grand Canyon itself) would consist of him yelling "OH GOD PRAISE JESUS, JESUS IS MY ONE AND ONLY LORD" I might have re-thought my viewing choices for the night.

Well 2 minutes into Naked and Afraid and they show what a rotting foot looks like after getting bit by a snake in the area these people are going to be attempting to survive. I didn't expect that and kind of wish I wasn't eating left over Chili from wendy's. The executive producer got bit by one of the most poisonous snakes in Costa Rica and nearly lost his foot - he was missing a good chunk of it in the footage they showed.

TheRationalRedditor posted:I thought so to, they never do anything like that without 2 layers of backup safety harnessing. In the aftershow they said that the rope itself was duct tape, but the harness was proper safety gear that was just masked with duct tape.

Apparently Walenda's grandfather is the one that I mentioned before, that was famous for falling on camera (In Puerto Rico.)

I just don't give a poo poo about what's going on with the Wizard. I'll put it on mute and do something else or skip it on DVR. It's just not interesting to watch them chew up yet another greenhorn who isn't quite cut for this job.

Emetic Hustler posted:In the aftershow they said that the rope itself was duct tape, but the harness was proper safety gear that was just masked with duct tape. Why the hell would they do this? Usually it's just implicit that when they're trying to scale or descend a high place using an untested, possibly-unsafe method that there'll always be safety harnesses in place to ensure they don't die. Making the safety gear look like duct tape is just irresponsible.

They seem like a pretty no-bullshit type of crew that doesn't really want the cameras on their boat, at least thats the impression I got. Also I liked how Keith hit they guy and then told him how unacceptable it was. I wish Freddie was on Elliot's boat.

I kind of wanted Bill's son to open up about how crappy his dad treats him sometime, but Bill was right about one thing, his son doesn't really have the courage to confront him on anything. His son even said it on deck, Wild Bill has no problem questioning his son's manhood when he makes a mistake in front of the crew and cameras, but doesn't like it when his son does it back. Really wish he had stood up for himself a little in the wheelhouse instead of letting Bill paint himself as the victim in all of this. That isn't to say that Bill's son doesn't have some blame, his attitude does kind of stink.

Instead ask for directions from home depot employees, because the backyard of one of their stores is about the wildest place you can find a pallet of duct tape. Why people even take duct tape survival tips seriously?

Survivorman is incredible, and more than one person has credited the show with teaching them things that saved them in actual survival scenarios - http://www.thestar.com/news/ontario/2008/04/04/tv_reality_show_saved_my_life_snowmobiler_says.html E - The second link was about Man vs Wild and screw that guy.

Yeah, Man vs Wild is what I constantly see and that show is so loving stupid I'm surprised there aren't corpses being found in the wilderness next to messages scrawled in their own urine reading "gently caress you Bear Grylls".

It might reduce the rate at which you're losing water through urinating, but even then you're drinking your own kidney waste. It would probably make you sick pretty quickly and/or dehydrate you more than just not drinking anything. Eventually you'd probably also be pissing pure urea, squeezing it out like toothpaste. Or, more likely you'd be dead before that even happened.

"Naked and Afraid - Uncensored"  Not that I expected (or wanted) to actually see any of these people nude but seriously why would Discovery even bother calling it that when it's the exact same show only with annoying Twitter comments popping up

Because we're at the point where actively lying to the audience is completely acceptable and the status quo on these kinds of networks.

I honestly think they hire greenhorns on the wizard and spit them out just so they don't fulfill their contract and get paid even less than what a greenhorn would make because Keith is a tightass piece of poo poo. I love the part where they end up a man down cause the greenhorn quits and then they whine about being a man down. You fuckers poo poo in the bathtub, now you gotta bathe in it.
