I can just see the scenario during filming now, if I was the subject, small town guy like me...

Me: So this is my stuff here *shows BOB and other gear*, this is what I get ready for, but I go to work, live with my family, and just do my thing like other people. I'm prepared for the worst to happen, but I've got a good attitude and you could say that I'm pretty well adjusted. It's kinda boring around here most of the time actually.

MTV Producer: Hmmmm. I see. Cut, guys. *murmurs out of camera shot* Can you start a fight, look all crazy and paranoid, and then go into the woods for a couple of days, just for rating's sake? You know that writer's strike out west is just killing us, don't you read Entertainment Weekly? *pulls out checkbook* So what do you say...

Either we you help us during production, or we will fix it in post production. You already signed the release.

Maybe VH1 will allow the older crowd to show off their preps...but count me out.

Hopefully they will portray survivalists as decent people.

No, I don't want to be a star. I don't even want to be moderately known. People can be a real pain in the ass much of the time. I just want to be left alone, to live the most pleasant life I can manage in my short time on this Earth.

Words of Wisdom my friend, I totally agree.

I think the show has the potential to be interesting though, as long as its someone else.

They may start out showing survivalists as decent people, but MTV has a very rock-solid reputation: they will demoralize, immoralize, sexualize, and otherwise pervert any show that runs past one episode.

I believe that anyone who appears on MTV's new "show" (if they follow through), will be the type that salivates to get booked on Jerry Springer.
