Lost in the wild... why do I watch this crap?


 Lost in the wild, why do I watch this crap?  The answer is so you dont have to!
 Episode 6 is the search for a missing runner in the jungle, the problem for me is the whole series is riddled with problems. For example in a previous episode they bed down in a small cave in the jungle supposedly miles form anywhere, yet withing minutes of the male presenter leaving to find firewood with the cameraman (using bright torches) some local men arrive at the cave. Now a few issues, local in jungle areas just dont move around after dark, they didn't have torches, nor it seems did they see the male presenters torch (hard to miss in the dark) So we end up with a big scary moment several men arrive and find the female presenter all alone in their cave. Then with hardly a word they leave. Yeah right.
 In this episode we end up in a cave talking to the spirit people, our presenters enter the cave yet despite it being dark fail to notice the smell of burning or the light from 3 wood fires inside the cave. Stecie Wonder would have spotted those.
 Another issue right through the series is the clothing. Take this episode for example. They spend seven hours paddling down a jungle river including white water sections, then they spend the night in the jungle sitting around a small fire. Next day their clothes are spotless and dry. First thing your taught in jungle training is keep your dry clothes dry, they are no tumble dryers in the jungle, and no washing machines either. A bit later they climb down a waterfall, five minutes later in the cave they are clean and dry again. Must be amazing clothing.
 Then theres the kit they carry, the male presenter has a medium size hard camera backpack, the the female a waterproof smallish backpack. yet whatever kit they need they have, climbing gear and helmets, no problem, wet suits, no problems. The backpacks must be made by the TARDIS company, that of they've nicked Mary Poppins fucking handbag.
 Seriously I don't know ahy I watch this stuff, ok it's reall missing person cases but theres so much fake drama and bullshit it's taking away the seriousness of the real missing people and they families lives destroyed by their loved ones disappearances. It's cashing in on their suffering. Thats just plain sad.

 Waynes rating 2/10 watch if you want to see two clowns pretending to look for missing people, you won't be much wiser after watching though.
