yeah first he was an idiot to do that to a reef shark... Then he was a lunatic when he did it to a tiger shark... Last he got out of the cage with a GW I almost shat myself just thinking about his a$$ being the next snack for that giant swimming chain saw!!!!!!

Total crap, Chris fisher and the people of world that actually do research and science have to be disgusted. Discovery has jumped the shark (pun intended) with "entertainment based" and no longer factual based shows.

I couldn't agree more, watched just one show and just minutes of the South African boat crash and it was all bull$hit. The problem I have with this kind of TV is that for the longest time Discovery Channel was once a source of educational material but now today, it's far from it. People watch this garbage and think it is real/fact and then form an opinion, I guess what I am trying to say it is dumbing down North America.

Once they started faking experiences and making up stories for ratings, I lost interest.

If you compare it to Jersey Shore, it's pure genius!!
