Yahoo TV NBC's 'Ultimate Slip 'N Slide' series halted after 'explosive diarrhea' reported on set
Yahoo ^ | 6-14-21 | Ethan Alter

Posted on 06/15/2021 5:43:46 AM PDT by dynachrome

Production on the series originally paused on June 2, when the studio was made aware that a crew member had tested positive for giardia. (According to The Wrap, as many as 40 crew members were ultimately affected by the parasite, leaving people "collapsing" on set due to "awful explosive diarrhea" and "being forced to run into port-o-potties." ) Working with L.A. and Ventura County Health Departments, NBCUniversal employed a third-party environmental lab to run tests on the location's water source and determined that it was negative for giardia.

However, additional testing conducted on June 10 turned up positive tests in the surrounding area. As a result, Ultimate Slip 'N Slide will find a new site to complete its final week of production. (The series was originally scheduled to wrap on June 11, with the crew compensated accordingly.)

This does not sound like content appropriate for evening mealtime. Maybe the next production could be built around the theme of the “Vomit Olympics”?

“Explosive diarrhea” pretty much defines mainstream media.

Poisons everything it comes in contact with and sickens it.

Explosive diarrhea, or just an afterburner?

“ultimately affected by the parasite, leaving people “collapsing” on set due to “awful explosive diarrhea”

I don’t understand .
Isn’t this what normal American network TV programming is?

I guess that’s slightly better than it being the contestants with it during filming.
