“Discovery channel sensing the problem, the last season was half soap opera with cancer, drugs, and missing relatives at home. Next season is almost guaranteed to be worse as the brothers work out their “feelings” from the loss of their father and the drugs.”
True. Not much else you can go on. Same for Loggers and Ice Truckers.
New season. Will Willie cut off his hand in a chainsaw accident or will Pete’s truck fall through the ice? Season 3... wash, rinse and repeat.
I think they should combine shows. Put the Survivor teams on two separate crab boats and let them have at it.
It would be a guys vs gals kinda thing. Of course the gals would be fishing somewhere in the South Pacific while the guys are in the Bearing Sea.
The gals wouldn't catch much but there'd be plenty of eye candy.
With the Axemen, the real stars are the trees and how incredible it is to watch them fall and hit the ground as well as anything else that gets in their way. The show concentrates way too much on the yarder and dragging trees up the mountain on the cable.
They're already hiring some of the truckers to run the world's most dangerous highways. The problem: in the first episode one of the big stars of IRTs, Canadian Alex Deborgorsky, quit halfway through his first run. I don't blame him though...he was almost lynched by an, and the road up the mountains is one of scariest roads you can imagine. It was hilarious to watch ex-IRT trucker Rick Yemm inveigh against the suicidal motorists who regularly passed him on blind curves with a several thousand foot drop on one side.
