I have tried three times to watch this show but for some reason I just cannot get intellectually involved/entertained. The only reality show I can watch is Deadliest Catch. Some of it is scripted but the actual work part is not and I have come to the conclusion they are crazy to do that work.
Heck a friend from La. told me even the gator shows are scripted and I would have thought it wasn’t. Dirtiest Jobs was a good one and Mike Rowe is a pretty good sport to do some of the crap he did. Money will only get me to do just so much as I will draw the line.
I got you! Iam not an avid fan of the show. It is obvious that the inane scenarios are scripted. But compared to the vast wasteland of American TV, it is a breath of fresh air. I, too, have watched Deadliest Catch. I feel the first seasons were less contrived. I hurt when Captain Phil died.
They are actually risking their lives in the harshest of climates for fortune.
