So I saw the first episode of this show on the Animal Planet. I wanted to see that Mexican gang banger cry like a bitch over having to pet that puppy.
Anyway, it seemed to me that the whole show was shot with actors. Anyone want to take bets on how long until it is busted for being fake?
People or many Americans are seriously turning in to grade A pussies
Very sad that people have lost their ability to be a strong person and not be a pussy. [Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang]
I believe in phobias, but these people were clearly actors.
Hey now... I almost dispatched a spider with a 45......

What the hell are you guys talking about? You don't believe that there is such a thing as a phobia?
of puppies and mustard... noQuote:

Such thing as a phobia? Sure. A phobia that can't be overcome? No.Quote:

If I was scared chitless of butterflies (believe it or not I know a gal who is), I would feel like a complete pussy and would do everything I could to overcome that fear and eventually, I would no longer be scared of them.
Instead of the Adapt and Overcome attitude, our society has taken the "its ok/good to be different" crap to extremes and come to nurture characteristics that are very far out of the norm... things like having a phobia of puppies, a boy that wants to be a girl and join the girl scouts, and other things I won't mention because it would completely derail the thread.
If you had actually watched the show that the thread is about, you would have known that everyone in the episode over comes their phobia. That's the entire point of the show in fact. Not just highlighting people's phobias.
That's not at all the point of this thread though. It is that I didn't find any of the people believable and thought they were all actors.
If I had a TV, I might have checked it out.
The previews made it look like fun to laugh at people with extreme phobias (like Horders), but it was way too fake for me. You haven't missed anything.
I get that impression about most of the crap currently on television... hence getting rid of my TV. The few shows I do watch I can find for free whenever I want on Hulu, no point paying ridiculous amounts a month for something I don't really use.
I wish we watched less TV. Me having to listen to Dancing With the Stars seriously starts fights at my house because it puts me in such a foul mood.
Spiders and wasps freak me the hell out.
Yup I said it
I don't know about getting over a phobia... I'm terrified that our current Administration will get re-elected and Pelosi will win the majority leadership back... I'll have to switch to a cheaper whiskey to ease the pain.
I was thinking the same thing the entire time I watched it.Quote:

at least you spelled it right this time...when you made your name you messed it up![Tooth]Quote:

Kinda... I would have ran over that big ass spider with my spyder (3000 GT). [Driver]Quote:
