If you want a good example of how these reality show producers fuck with reality, go watch Ice Road Truckers season 3 ep 1. They made a missed downshift into a life or death "ohshitthey'reallgonnadie!" festival of idiocy. A downshift!

That's why they had to film season 2 on a different ice road, the mining companies that own the road weren't impressed with the way the producers made the truckers look like cowboys and the way they turned everything into a life or death situation with snazzy editing.

Tonight's episode was another funny one, not only did the Japanese take the 'prop foul line' that the Sea Shepherds were trying to use against them, and Watson referred to it as 'stronger than steel', but the Japanese had a surprise of their own for the zodiac crews by throwing brass nuts at them. Then the Sea Shepherds were surprised they were being targeted in a 'violent way'. What do they expect they're throwing butyric acid on the deck of the ship, they say they aren't targeting people on the deck but how can they tell if and when they're going to hit someone? I say good for the Japanese.
