Alaska Reality Shows--FAKE???----Say it isn't so...

[ARtraveler]

The Missus has always felt that the Brown Family was about as real as the bustline of most Hollywood starlets...
Question: What about "Deadliest Catch"? That's the show that kind of started things rolling; isn't it?

There is a lot of "drama" that pops up to make the show interesting. I would say, take some or most with a grain of salt. The show started out pretty interesting but gets a little more far out each season.

Some observations about Ultimate Survivor from another thread.

"And lately, they have not even been out in the "wilderness." A couple weeks ago they were going down a river to the ocean. The river follows a road that is less than 50 ft. from the river. A ride that I do at least twice a year on the . The ocean shot was Turnagain Arm, right next to the Seward Highway and full of tourists. They filmed the south side where you cannot see the road because of the tree line. The pick up area was in a wetlands right next to the Seward Highway--which was not shown of course.

One of my scheduled rides with the North to Alaska bunch will cover the Ultimate Survival route. I bet we won't even get wet--unless it rains.


"If anyone watched Ultimate Survival Alaska last night, the bear BS and bear lore was running rampant when they were on Kodiak Island amongst the Kodiak bears. Did anyone catch the fake stuffed bears at least twice in the program? "

And...don't forget the "ever popular?" Gold Rush. I hope they put that one out of its misery after this season. "
