If they make "Survivor - West Virginia - Pig Squeal Hollow"...

It would not be racist for sure...

Entertaining?

Maybe if Baldwin and Whoopie were cast...

Hard to know...


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Top of the morning to you my cyber friend, I hope the day's behaving itself out east for you all and you're all well.

Way back in the day when the show first aired up here so maybe 2000 or so, we were taking a break during spring branding when the rancher mentioned that he thought I'd make a decent contestant because of some of the mountain time I've spent.

My reply, certainly not verbatim Cash but more or less was that if it was a "survival" situation I'd kidnap and hold for ransom the camera equipment and likely the camera crew first in return for good food, lodging etc. My rationale was that it was the least effort for the greatest return and if we were really and truly in survival mode, that's where we'd need to be, no?

The rest of the branding crew got a good laugh and there was general agreement that it'd be best if they kept BC rednecks off of pretend TV shows.

When they filmed one in Africa I tried to watch a couple shows and got asked to leave the room when I was pointing out the inaccuracies. laugh As I have tented on the Masai Mara and had a leopard help itself to a hind quarter of kongoni that was hanging in a tree at the edge of camp, I felt the need to comment but got voted out of the TV room! wink

Anyways, it might be good entertainment or not. I do know that when the Bear Grylls show came out we started instructing students in the annual Hunter Safety Course we put on to do the exact opposite of a few things he was suggesting. I suppose there is the remote possibility folks could be misled to believe it's real? Not really sure.

All the best to you folks.

Dwayne

Dwayne... your stuff is a true joy on this forum.

39 degrees last night so I had to bring in my potted tomatoes.

I too have been voted out of the TV room... it is a harsh world sometimes.

I wonder in "Survivor 2023 - USA" will have camera crews to kidnap and ransom... or feed to the hogs?

Be well my ^ Medicine Line friend... Leonard

I’ve watched it from the first time it was on, and if you don’t want to watch, that’s no big deal!

You’ve never watched it, yet you know all about it. Strange!!!!

I haven't watched a network TV show in over a decade. It's the dredges of society ruin.

I got up and walked out to the garage and talked with my cats about it.
They thought I was an idiot for watching that racist crap.
Yep, my cats are smarter than most of the people in America.


Oh, am I supposed to have some pithy saying here? Sorry, not today.

I'd rather trim brass.

Had a co-worker that was into it. Always wanted to talk about it - I'd shut it down post haste.

He'll win." I was right. He won. We stopped watching after about the second or third episode.

As an aside, I had a very good friend in Los Angeles, who was a writer and former Navy SEAL, Vietnam service. I mentioned to him there was another Navy SEAL on the show named "Rudy Boesch." My friend watched one episode. He later told me he knew Boesch. He said when he was on the Teams, they called Boesch, the "Bull Frog." wink

FWIW.

Anyone that went to the TEAMS from UDT back in the day had to be someone I'd like - only reason I watched. When he was gone, so was I. I just liked the dude.

I'm still waiting for a real "reality" show.
