Elliott responding to Keith's jokey valentine by ripping a gigantic fart on camera was hilarious to me for some reason.

Is Elliot going to basically stalk this girl too now? "You're the only one I want to be with." Says Elliot, mere weeks after just having denied said girls existence to his ex, who he was at the time still trying to get back together with, and had been trying for 2 years.

The Mythbusters Breaking Bad special was interesting. Always wanted to see how well a body dissolved in acid. Surprised they had to make aqua regia to do it though (special sauce  ). Still, there was no way they were going to be using several litres of the incredibly nasty hydrofluoric acid to try it.

They gave a new episode? Neither their website nor my DVR seemed to indicate that there was a new episode after Painting With Explosions. Even On Demand only mentions Painting w/Explosives as the last one. Also wikipedia.

Ok I'm trying to watch an episode of Naked and Afraid based on a friend's recommendation (he sold the show as 'the guy's always a pussy and it's funny', so I was expecting that) What the gently caress is up with the non-stop twitter feed at the bottom of the screen? I don't care what I'm watching, I don't want a continuous display of people's comments about every little thing going on on the screen. The guy pulled goggles out of his survival bag and there were like four people commenting on it at the bottom of my screen. It's distracting and extremely annoying. This episode was labeled "uncensored" but the other two on my DVR weren't...do only the uncensored episodes get the tweets or what? By the way, you can't call something uncensored and yet have it be...censored. What the hell? I don't watch TV for porn or anything, but there was a cute chick with huge jugs in the intro, it's called uncensored, and then she takes her shirt off to show a huge blurry spot. Buzzkill.

The uncensored poo poo is just crossing a line though.

Does anyone know anyone that enjoys that poo poo? It's got to drive more people away than it draws in gawkers checking to see if their inane comment flits across the screen for a brief moment. It seems to be a justification for hiring an idiot niece as a 'social media consultant' by a 57 year old middle manager. I can't watch news or sports shows anymore because it makes my brain angry trying to take in everything. I can't wait for the trend to consume itself.

Yeah evidently "uncensored" means "with tweets!" because the profanity is still bleeped as well. Kind of a bizarre thing for them to do. I like Survivorman and could mostly enjoy Dual Survival, but couldn't get through 5 minutes of this show. Some doughy pasty guy with spiked hair and a nose ring claims to be a survival expert, says he hopes his partner is hot and basically alludes to thinking they're going to be sleeping together, and packs goggles as a survival tool. Having been prewarned that every episode has a helpless puss of a guy being taken care of by his female partner, I should have known I wouldn't enjoy this. Half the fun of survival shows is imagining yourself in that situation, but watching this show I just want to punch this guy about every 30 seconds.

Disappointed at Airplane Repo. The original show was a somewhat honest documentary. The new show has your standard jackasses, a script, and an airport in "Philadelphia" fairly obviously being Daytona Beach Int'l Airport. (The backstretch grandstand at the speedway is visible out the windshield in some shots.) Has TV just given up on not being scripted crap posing as "reality"? Deadliest Catch seems to be the one oasis on History , TLC, NatGeo & Discovery anymore.

Every single one of these reality shows feels like it was produced by the same team of people these days. I know that isn't necessarily true, but I can also guarantee a lot of overlap between shows.

I couldn't believe the difference. It was almost insulting. Original three episode run of Airplane Repo: "OK, our spies found the plane. Let's coordinate the crews and get down there. Once we get there, we HAVE to get the repo notice taped to the plane. It's all over for them once it's there." Relaunch: "Hey, let's tow this $5M airplane outside and crawl around inside. No logbook? poo poo! Oh, wait, there it is! OK, I think we've got it. Oh crap, the owner's here, we told him to piss off, it's all goo--poo poo! We left the logbook in the unlocked car? The plane can't fly without it!", followed later by "Hey, let's run out with airport vehicles with their flashers on to intercept this guy flying a plane that will be doing 150mph when it gets to us. That will catch them off guard, because this is fool-proo-OH GOD DAMNIT THEY DID A TOUCH-N-GO!"

That's exactly why I DO like it. I must have some kind of Schadenfreude at seeing the douchy, Type-A, probably Smash Mouth and Guy Fieri-loving, Alpha Males be reduced to a blubbering mess because of a sunburn, or snakes, or just being in the ocean. Ironic that he brought goggles as his item (which despite some of those tweets, isn't a bad idea, assuming he knew that the she was bringing the more important machete) but then pussed out as soon as he's fifty feet from shore. The last episode that aired was the first one where I felt the man and woman could have done well (I mean, personality wise), if the guy didn't get sick from being a dumbass and drinking un-clean water. I mean...he was about as stupid as all the other guys that have been on the show, but at least he seemed slightly less of a douche...but then again, his name was Puma, and we only got a few days of him, so he probably was a douche, we just didn't get to see it. And like several "survival" style shows, it is fun to imagine myself there, and that's another reason I like Naked and Afraid, because I can't imagine how I cold possibly do worse than these douches.

Watommi posted:I like Survivorman and could mostly enjoy Dual Survival, but couldn't get through 5 minutes of this show. Survivorman is Grade A tier for showing what actual survival would be like if you were stranded and alone. I once read a critic describe it as 'six days of a guy sitting under a tree, on the seventh he eats a beetle'. It may even have been in this thread, but it was perfect. That is what would happen if you were caught alone and relatively unprepared in the wild. Les is a smart, capable and experienced wilderness man and he struggles to get through that crap. Amateurs are doomed before they begin. Dual Survival was more action-oriented and showed more risk taking, but it also presented a fun dynamic between two guys who think they should be in charge. It was absolutely tolerable for the most part. The most annoying thing is Cody constantly bitching about his military-minded partner wanting to hunt for food, but then sitting around the fire and munching down whatever the guy caught without complaint. That and not wanting to ever wear something to cover his bare feet no matter the environment. Even if it slowed them down considerably. Cody is the guy you either leave behind or eat first.

There have been only two moments in Survivorman where I thought Les was loving up. The first was when he cut his hand attempting to cut open a vine thinking there would be water inside (there wasn't). The way he was cutting on it, when I saw it, I said "your gonna cut your hand open" and then he cut his hand open. It was just a dumb mistake but it's one of those mistakes you really just can't make when help is days away. The other was when he left a fine shelter in the form of a hunter's cabin in Norway to make his way down to the water. I guess he needed to shoot more footage to make the show, but it was supremely dangerous descending where he was in the wet snow, and as sun began to set I was genuinely afraid for him.

Didn't he regret trying to climb down there as well? He was pretty freaked out about it, if I recall correctly.

The trouble with survival shows is that a little bit goes a long way and they quickly become boring unless there is an interesting relationship dynamic. Dual Survival had this in the first two seasons, not so much now. Man, Woman, Wild had an interesting husband/wife dynamic where Hawk couldn't really be an rear end in a top hat because his partner was his wife rather than someone equally adept but with different training and viewpoint. Survivorman was great in the beginning but "sitting under a tree" for six days got old pretty quick.

drat, Freddy jumping into the water was the stupidest thing I've ever seen anyone do on the Deadliest Catch... and that's saying something about a group that willfully goes out in 40 ft waves, surrounded by rain and ice just to fish. Watched the first half of 'Naked', couldn't watch anymore when they carted Puma off to the hospital. It was just too much stupid for one night.

Just watched the newest episode. What in the gently caress is wrong with you Freddie? This has been a disappointing season for me. Jake Anderson left to a douchebag boat, Junior became a two-faced dick, the Hillstrands are doing poorly, Elliot is getting stupid again after a strong start, The entire Wizard crew can gently caress right off, and Josh never got the Cornelia back this season. Thank Christ Edgar finally got the skipper chair or there would be nothing redeeming.
