In his nearly 10 years studying anacondas in the Amazon, researcher and conservationist Paul Rosolie, 27, has faced his share of danger. The giant reptile is known to grow to up to 30 feet in length — and strikes its prey using its teeth and powerful jaws before crushing it with its massive body. Rosolie has been bitten by one of the snakes and seized by one in a chokehold — suffering a broken rib and a nearly popped collarbone before five people were able to pry it off him. But none of that compares to what he endured in his first TV special, “Eaten Alive,” which premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. on Discovery Channel and documents Rosolie’s attempt to get ingested by a giant green anaconda — all in the name of bringing attention to the rapid destruction of the Amazon and, of course, spiking TV ratings.

Darwin Award nominee?
Crikey mate!
He could have just dressed up as a donut in New Jersey!
I doubt he plans to be “eaten alive”. Either, he won’t be eaten, or he won’t be alive. Where are you putting your money?
How is the snake? Did he get swallowed with a bottle of ipecac?
The title should be
“I am a moron and would do anything to get on TV”
Just Stupid.....
I wonder if he’s related to the white college student who was overjoyed he was mugged by a minority.
Darwin Award...
Sad thing is I don’t find it the least bit interesting. I wouldn’t watch if it was the only thing on.
“eaten by a snake”
He does not plan to be eaten by a snake. The headline is a lie.
“Eaten” means he will be digested and become part of the snake.
Headline writers lie to get us to read the article.
“This donut is about to be eaten by me” means that no one will ever see the donut ever again.
As I understand this has already happened. He was eaten alive by the snake but was pulled out. Meets my definition of being eaten alive. I don’t know of anyone that has done this before. Incredible feat.
Living proof that there are some psychological issues that can’t even be touched by modern medicine.
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor
And I don’t like it very much!
Oh no, oh no, he swallowed my toe,
He swallowed my toe
Oh gee, oh gee, he’s up to my knee,
He’s up to my knee
Oh fiddle, oh fiddle, he’s reached my middle,
He’s reached my middle
Oh heck, oh heck, he’s up to my neck,
He’s up to my neck
Oh dread, oh dread, he swallowed my.... schlirppp!

Was he pulled out - or cut out?
I heard about this a good while back and knew then I wouldn’t watch this garbage. While I’m not a fan of snakes, I’m even less a fan of shock stunts. There are 3 ways out. He waits around and gets pooped out, he gets pulled back out the way he went in or they cut him out. None of that is good for the snake they’re so peta about.
Sounds like “vorarephilia” to me. I think that’s the word.
Or just pLain “nutty as a fruitcake” may be the idea that I’m after.
I think he should have taken an oxygen tank or two with him and waited to be passed out of the system naturally.
‘Course, the next time someone called him “snakepoop”, he wouldln’t have a good comeback.
