Have you seen it,or the previews?
Guys will purposely be stung/bitten by very venomous animals,snakes,scorpions,spiders,ect. to show how tuff they are and how much pain they take.
This, to me, is just plain stupid!!!! I just can't see it.
Kings of pain would be Dave,MrMike,Ehler Dave to name just a few of many. These are your brave ones,these are your tuff guys.
Sorry, but this new show just really hit me wrong. I first wanted to yell,"how dare you", but that's been taken. Rant over.

    Preview came on, and all I could think of was, *. Hour later my buddy stops by, the commercial is on again, looks at me says, "what a *". :mrgreen:

    Dumbest thing I've seen. The only thing lacking is the line "hold my beer and watch this".

    Seems like another mindless show for the masses. I assume they have extracted the venom from the snakes, spiders and such before the bites take place.

    Wife and I saw a preview and both said we had no interest in it. Then postulated it will probably be a hit. Seems that when we like a show, it only runs a season or two. If we don't like it they seem to be a hit. Guess we are not the target audience for most TV producers.

    Public entertainment now days sure seems pretty stupid to me. They used to do that stuff only on cartoons. Even as children, we knew to never try this stuff at home! Common sense has been lost somewhere along the way!

    Sounds like the show * got a new name. Regardless, aside from the even questionable "coming of age" ceremonies practiced around the world indigenous people, it is just for attention. Would these *-hats do this if there were no cameras? Heck no... :oops:

    I too have felt like a king of pain some and for sure a prince of pain since 1994. More than half my life has been lived in the constant fog of opiates which only take off the sharpest part. Thanks to all the no anti-opiate abuse laws, I am now taking less than I have in 20 years. I feel I am on a fine line between being able to continue to work, and my next big flare up that will put me down for good. Almost all I do anymore is go to work, and go home and lay around. I can really only handle doing much else except on the weekend. I already gave up all my sporting activities, switched to I.T. to use my mind and not my body, etc.

    Same for me,....I hardly watch TV anymore. Nothing but stupid crap it seems.

    Some years ago I read a science fiction story about a TV show set in the future when TV sets have an emotional connector so you experience the emotions and feelings of the people in the program.

    The big new program featured people paid to undergo medical procedures without painkillers so the "viewers" could "feel the pain".

    Yeah, the ultimate "reality show" :roll:

    Every now and then something in TV reminds me of that story.

    i watched it ( well most of it skipped thru commercials and the added drama ) Ok a couple wasp although large were still a singe sting and a tarantula bite . all have been suffered countless times by many ( I had a red legged tarantula for years never got bit ) .
    like stated they have selected and sorted out the creatures to bite sting them had a huge medical staff with them on camera and I bet a stand by medical helicopter not far
    lets see a 8' rattler or black mamba or cobra have a bite for starters . ;)
