Swamp People: Serpent Invasion (2020– )

Good show

[8/10 · 2 May 2024]

Overall, good show. I like all the hunters except Tes; She is so arrogant, she does one thing and mentions it 3 times. The way she walks, sits, or talks, shows how fake her confidence is. Could you drop her? If she is in the next season, I am not watching.

Love Pickle! She is so humble and sweet, not to mention a badass. The show is entertaining. Of course, it is staged, otherwise, why would they catch the snakes by hand instead of a fork on a pole?! Or catch them alive, to begin with?! They are worth the same, dead or alive! It wouldn't be very exciting if they just shot the snakes, would it?

Swamp People (2010– )

Overall ok

I kind of like this show, some of the people are entertaining, like Troy. However, there are too many repetitions of the same phrases, like Friday the 13th being mentioned at least 40 times in one episode, which makes it annoying. Also in season 14, I don't know what happened to Ashley...her face doesn't move at all!!! Botox?!? If so, I am disappointed. She is a pretty girl who is a badass. She is also very young, she doesn't need botox. If not, I am sorry, Ashley. Also, some of the people are pretty annoying. I like Troy's sons. Jacob and his son are very adorable together. I also think the writing for the narrator can improve a bit, too many repetitions, like the phrases, and also make it a little educational, like telling facts about the swamp (like how many species of sea creatures live there or types of trees) instead of repeating the same thing over and over again (like 350 tags, which is kind of a mystery until someone says "additional tags"). Also, give a little background about the hunters. Troy has a female buddy (Pickle) now. Tell us about her: where she is from, how she knows about hunting, etc.

Survivor (2000– )

Up to the 40th season

Great show before the politics of nonsense. Come on in guys, replaced with come in! Please...I just wanted to vomit. No wonder Jeff P is pushing people to apply; I bet they lost a lot of applicants by pushing a political agenda, which is stupid. The show had all sorts of people playing the game with no issue, but now all of a sudden there is an "issue". It's not a survivor show anymore; it's who is the most manipulating, which actually goes with the political agenda they are pushing so hard. The tribe councils go on forever; I started to just mute until the votes. Not interested anymore. I am out!
