PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

<<One thing's for sure, the Alaskan scenery is breathtaking.>>I agree with this. However, anyone can find gorgeous video footage of Alaska that doesn't have the political overtones she used. Almost everything she said sounded calculated and heavily planned out. The producer, Mark Burnett, should be ashamed of himself for being involved. Maybe he didn't have "final say" in his editing (yes, I am implying that Sarah Palin had that power), I don't know, but I thought I was rehearing the 2008 campaign throughout the first show. Cut out all the parts with the Palins, and it's a nice show.

4. "RE: Not a fan's review" |
<<And after seeing how editors tend to crucify reality show subjects when possible, it would be the smart thing to do. Props to her for insisting on that.>>This is exactly what I'm concerned about. It's entertaining when Burnett twists Jerri's edit or make Parvati likable, like you said, he IS EPMB . But not so much when he does it to a politician. That's one problem I have with it. (And I would have a problem with any politician, not just because it's Palin). My bigger worry is the bubble Palin has built around herself since her introduction. It started with FOX, which she uses to hide from actual journalists. Now that she's had to branch out a little bit, she still takes control of the message she's trying to send. This is supposed to be a "reality" show, not footage edited by the "on-air personalities", one of whom has expressed an interest in running this country. That's overt manipulation. While I agree that everyone should have control of their "message", people who choose to be on a this type of show, should expect to give up some of that. This show adds to that bubble, where only her "facts" and "truths" are accepted. (Full disclosure-I only saw the first show.) I follow Big Brother - I see what CBS does to what footage they have, sometimes taking the most vile person there and making him or her "nicer" or "likable" (ED, Maggie). Burnett does it, too. How can anyone trust either party involved in this endeavor? How would Jerri had been edited if she had some control over it? Much differently, I'm sure. Sorry to go back so far in Survivor history, she was the first one to come to mind .

I sure the heck didn't even know who Sarah Palin was before viewing this show. After a couple of shows, I like it! Makes me want to visit Alaska.

Do you think she'll tell us where the one Palin-free zone is, I may need to hide there when the next election starts heating up.

I just watched the episode where she's hunting caribou. You know, the one she takes a billion shots and the producers finally have to bring in a dead stunt double. She talks like she's been hunting her whole life yet she acts like that was her first time out.

So you're saying the people who refuse to question anything she says will be more prone to question her aim?

LAST EDITED ON 12-23-10 AT 10:16 AM (EST)I've seen most of them. My daughter lives outside Wasilla, and I've been there myself many times, winter and summer and early fall. I am a native Arizonan, and I have to say, when I saw the epi with Kate Gosselin, I had to almost barf a bit! She was reacting so insane, I wanted to reach thru the tv and beyotch slap that woman!! I have been there when it was dark for 18 hours, raining most of the time, snow every where, but by gosh, you suck it up for the sake of the kids who are having a blast! In my case, my grand kids, whom I see only once a year or so. No, it isn't Hawaii, or paradise in those conditions, but it's an adventure you'll only experience a few times in this lifetime, and for crying out loud (which she was!), you won't DIE! Geez, I never even got close to frost bite. And I'm sure Ms. Gosselin, with her pampering staff, would never be allowed to go cold or hungry for long. What a crock of whatever.... At any rate, when my daughter first moved to AK (her husband was transferred there via Air Force), I thought I'd never enjoy going somewhere like that. But I highly recommend it to people now. It is truly an experience of a lifetime to see nature at its most incredible! And I think Sarah is doing a good job introducing that to the public. Whether she comes back for another season, who knows. And not many Alaskans can just hop on a helicopter and ride out for a day of ice fishing or salmon fishing or mountain climbing. But you really don't have to there. There is so much to be seen and done right outside your door! It really is a beautiful, amazing place. ETA: spelling mishaps
