No, you haven't ruined the show. It is idle-time amusement only for me. That said, I will admit that there are a few nuggets of information sandwiched between stunts. The reason I (and others on this forum) post about this show is to illustrate the danger in trying to do what he does. My fear is that some inexperienced kids will try one of these stunts and get hurt. Les Stroud was the real deal and stunt-free. But even his show had emergency support.
