I refuse to watch the oak island show until the last episode when they recover the ark of the covenant or the holy grail or whatever they expect to find. To watch anything leading up to it is anti climactic (anti in this case used as ‘Before’ as in antibellum)
Since all those shows are pre-recorded if they found anything it would be on all the news outlets.
Antebellum.
Think of your favorite aunt when she was younger.
Auntie Bell.. um!
Ante means before.
Anti means opposed to.
