Eaten Alive on Discovery

[jclaiborne]

This show was rediculous, as already stated above it was an hour and a half of chasing (really diving in the water and walking around hacking stuff with a machette) a "giant" that was bigger than the record currently sat at, that he had seen, he showed a drawing he did, that looked like a kid drew it as "proof" the snake existed. I think they "caught" 2 wild anacondas, but I fast forwarded through most of it. There really wasn't much mentioned about conservation other than a few 1 liners. They talked about snake myths, mentioned titanoboa, then jumped to the "scientific" experiment. What cracked me up was the touted the team of "engineers" that worked on the suit yet there was no way for him to move around so they had to remove half of it, they stated that they were hoping to gain data on the force created from the constriction, but they only used one sensor and it was placed too low, so they collected no data. So it was a fail from a basic engineering standpoint as well. He pissed the snake off, it wrapped him, bit onto the helmet, then he tapped out, they over dramatised the "danger he was in" constantly referencing his heart rate, then he said now that the suit is tested I can use it on the giant that is out there, still eluding to the fact that he wants to be consumed. That guy was an idiot, the whole time I was hoping the suit would fail and it would crush him, but no luck, he just got a few bruises on his arm.
