I just bailed on TAR:FamilyFeud. Can't take the screaming.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

TAR: I hope the screamers get eliminated fast.

I'm ok with a few bunches of screaming adults. Now, at kids? Or bratty kids? Might turn me off.
Wanna bet this is going to be more The Great American Roadtrip than Round the World edition?
Also, it helps that I watch TAR thusly: get up. get a drink. scoop catboxes. pee. wash dishes watching reflection in glass doors. sort through read and unread Monitors. catch up here. post here. read lj. pay electric and gas bill.
etc.

I had fresh regular squid caught for me in Mozambique. I don't like squid. Even in garlic and butter over a campfire. And squid guts 5 hours later? Stink. Also, I finally learned where cuttlebone came from. I could do without.
HOWEVER. Gianty squid PICTURES? Cool.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. People have been trying to photograph a giant squid in its natural environment for many years.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I saw a program on TV about Humboldt Squid the other night. They are nasty critters, with teeth on their suckers, and a habit of leaping out at anything that moves, especially divers. (They are probably 3 feet long, not 25.)
The dude diving for them, with a big camera, was wearing body armor.

All I can say is, "IT'S ABOUT FREAKIN' TIME!!!" Do they know how many National Geographic specials I sat through waiting to see them live, only to be left disappointed?

It looks to me like [TAR] the families who most annoy aren't likely to hold up terribly long. But I've been burned before. Also, I'm watching behind, so I could already be wrong.

Yeah, I hate those sciency specials where they try to find something and/or photograph it, and they fail at the end.
That should be a new reality show: Hey science boy - you don't get paid until you come back with giant squid pictures. And you gotta live with these other scientists in this sealab. You have your choice of rooming with the gay scientist or the redneck.
