PulpMind, while I agree with your facts and most of your opinions, it does nothing to change my opinion that most of the folks on that show are at best minor-league fools being exploited by the show's producers or at worst a soon-to-be-lethal concoction of complete morons, attention whores and jackoffs. My mom knows one of the guys on the show (I can't remember which one) from her days as a public school social worker, and she's said he's lucky to have survived until adulthood.
I'd say Animal Planet is doing a fine job of making these folks look entirely unsympathetic, especially when I know folks that actively root for cast members to fall off boats.
