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."

43. "RE: rebel billionaire: bransons que..."
Okay I liked the show but felt it was more a Discovery Channel challenge show than a "reality" show. The production values are dicey but the concepts of challenging oneself and pushing limits is a great idea but its not the Apprentice and not a job interview. But then is the Apprentice really a "job interview"?
More and more businesses are seeking entrepenuers and often in line with that is the idea that risk takers - aka thrill seekers are ones who push limits further. Popular on the business speaking circuit are those who climb Everest and participate in extreme sports. There is something that appeals to the idea that those who take risks are out of the box thinkers and can be both individauls while still functioning in teams as needed.
I like the show, I like Branson preferably as a leader/manager and think that the idea of the show is good just placed into a genre that isn't applicable.
