Do you watch Alaskan TV Reailty Shows

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.
 
I admit to watching most of the Alaska shows. What really grinds my grapes is when they are hunting they have to load gun when they see the animal they are hunting.
 
Nope. Never had an interest in them and they were made for my generation all the way back in the MTV real world show.

I have seen a few episodes of Alaska state troopers and life below zero but only because I happened to have come across it while channel surfing.

What I would LOVE to see is something like Survivor Calcutta or Survivor Sunni triangle. Then were talking. A new one could be Survivor Aleppo! Maybe Bachelor/Bachelorette leper colony.

Which show was this, and who is this Evie? I've only seen Phred and the one out of Colorado. The mother was liked by some male viewers, but the young daughter Paige (now well over 18) aroused the most interest. I liked her outfits. She did more for denim shorts than Daisy Duke. There are pics of her on the Net, but nothing recent. Look for Paige Wyatt, if interested.

But I wasn't impressed with the gun alterations, etc. on the show. Her brother wanted to go to Italy and learn to engrave, I think.

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.
My son was in love with Paige...Either do i !
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!
 
No, I tend to lump them all together...Wives of the Survivors of the Deadliest Ice Roads to the Tiny Houses?
I have not and will not give any of them a watch.

I did enjoy watching Cops with my sons when they were young.
I'd point put to them to see what stupid does to people.
 
There was one show that I really liked, it was about bush pilots, I think it was on only one season, there was another show about a guy who owned a airport who had a daughter who was an airhead.
 
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.
 
The last Alaskans show is much more close to reality. Heimo Korth is the real deal.

I do have to admit to loving this show; partly due to no outside narrator, and the filming is beautiful. I enjoy watching the families as well.
 
I have been know to watch the Alaskan Railroad show if nothing else on, the other shows from/about Alaska never. Man some of those people that live off the grid have a very interesting but tough existence, but a lot is embellished for TV.

We did the Princes sea and land cruse (16 days) a few years ago and I have been in some of the stops and seen a lot from the train

Its a interesting show but quite apparent that many of the problems are staged. Like when their fixing something and every few minuets one says we only got X minutes left GET GOING. Like the whole crew does not know the time of things to the second. As a person that has worked with tools all my life and fixed or installed a lot of things being told stuff and being pushed does not go over well and in fact leads to more problems.

The film crew for Alaska the last frontier, is really good...I've never seen their Starbucks cups from Homer in any of the scenes!
 
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?

Nope. I just keep hoping any Kodiak Bear in the area would snack on actors and film crew.:p

I admit I enjoyed Irwin's show and didnt hurt it one bit that his wife is eye candy.
 
i like bits and pieces from some of the shows..

Mountain Men -- I like Marty & The old cowboy dude (Tom)

Life Below Zero - I like the dude who lives by himself & the guy that guides part time

Alaska last frontier - watching hoping that Jewel will be on show one day :)

The Last Alaskans - Like all of them, especially Heimo .
 
The only one I watch is Life Below Zero, mostly for Agnes Hailstone. She always makes me smile - she's had a tough life but is always upbeat and optimistic. She reminds me of a lot of Indian folks I came to know working on various Indian reservations in the west.

I used to fast forward through the Sue Aikens segments but she has become less annoying somehow.

You know she's American, or was? From Oregon, I think.

But daughter Bindi is grown now and was on, Dancing With the Stars. She's short, but not bad, overall.

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.

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;
Nat. Geo. have some good shows, but some are always the same when it is about wild life, especially when they are about major predators (lions, croc, tiger...).
BTW...i am sure "Finn" looks like Doutzen Kroes or Candice Swanepoel..
