I thought this might be a hoax but I bounced over to Facebook and it seems it’s true. Sigh. Best comment from a poster, to the Discovery Channel: “Did you guys actually see the shark when you jumped it tonight?”
I suspect this will be the end of the show. The dynamic of different approaches is one of the major reasons MB was so successful. It shouldn’t surprise me as discovery is is really good at taking something successful and ruining it.
