The last Alaskans show is much more close to reality. Heimo Korth is the real deal.
I like the one with the young babe who now has kids. She was good looking and worth watching just as eye candy. Back to shooting non-skills. Its as bad as the cop shows where no one aims. And they hike uphill and never seem to break a sweat or get winded. I wish I could do that.
Remember the old carpenters advice, to measure twice and cut once? Modify that to take twice as long to aim.
You mean Evie. What a babe is right.
My son was in love with Paige...Either do i !What became of the family in Denver who had the gun shop? The one with the hot daughter with the long neck, Paige?
I read somewhere that they got in trouble with IRS for taxes and maybe with ATF, too. ??
I never saw much done to guns there that I'd want done. Mostly expensive customising to make money for the shop.
The "gunsmiths" didn't give me a feeling of high competence.
I'm not sure I want to know much about the gun shop in LA that had all of that Class III ordnance. Red Jacket? It supposedly ran into problems with ATF and the owner was reported to have had an incest issue with his daughter. I don't know if he was actually charged. Details may not be suitable for this board.
I miss shows like Steve Irwin's and Wild Kingdom. But I don't like them hassling/handling the animals. And Irwin took some awful chances. I have the video of his African trip, where the snakes reacted much more realistically than did those he had back in Australia. I always wondered if those were chilled or drugged.

I grew tired of the Kilcher family on "Alaska the Last Frontier" several season ago, though my wife still loves the show and forces me to watch. They are supposedly way out from civilization, but that is not the case. Most of the family homes are less than ten miles from town. The hunting scenes in this show are awful.
Life below zero, with a bunch of people living at or above the arctic circle is a little more real, but the show is edited in a choppy and very annoying fashion.
The absolute worst garbage of the Alaska shows is Alaskan Bush people. All I can say is I hope that family stays together and none of their children reproduce. Ugh.
Just curious, how many of you watch the Alaskan / Northern type TV
reality shows, and there are many.
What do you like about particular ones, and dislike, and I do watch a few of them, and others not at all, for various reasons.
I admire the toughness of their lifestyle, but being a shooter and hunter all my life I can't help but
note fundamental errors in shooting and hunting skills. That's just my take.
Example: "Alaska the Last Frontier", the wife of one of the sons is trying to sight in a scoped high power rifle. she is clearly right handed and left eye dominant and trying to sight with her left eye.
Prone type of position right shoulder, gun loose, face over the stock to use left eye....this is gonna hurt I tell my other half before it happens, as were watching. Her husband is standing over this trainwreck and watching it unfold. She touches it off and the scope hammers her above the eye
hard enough to roll her over, lucky it didn't knock her out. Just an observation.
What's yours?

Steve Irwin'show was good, even if he was a little bit too much with the reptiles...I recently saw his son on a tv show about venomous snakes, and he was a copycat of his late father...mimicking him all the way !!!. The most bad show about venomous snakes (and all other venomous animals) was Donald Schultz' Venom hunter...This guy is too much pretentious, and handle animals very badly!
I admit I enjoyed Irwin's show and didnt hurt it one bit that his wife is eye candy.
Didn't know those girls at all ! But after google them, i understand what you means...that said i find Alessandra Ambrosio a little bit prettier;None of these women mentioned is very impressive, compared to say, Doutzen Kroes, my favorite best looking woman in the world. But Doutzen isn't on reality shows. You can find her in many videos and some interviews on talk shows and in VS and fan videos.
I like Candice Swanepoel a lot, too, and she has some very mature, modest comments about her fame. I think she has life in good perspective, especially for a beautiful, famous, rich girl. She was from a farm in South Africa, so has some idea of what real life on one is like. Her pal Behati Prinsloo also came from a farm background, in Namibia. Both are very smart and Behati is the most cheerful, quick-witted celeb I've seen. Both ladies became moms this year. I think they'll raise their kids better than most celebs do. If you want real eye candy, look them up. They're a good step beyond the gals on reality shows.
I wish the reality shows would go away and be replaced by real wildlife programming. National Geographic used to have some really good shows. I have the VHS tapes of some.
I also watch the Gold show which is now mostly in BC.
Sometime watch the others, also like the Gun Store show.
