I have heard a lot of behind the scene stories about how they set these little "adventures" up to film for the show. And let's just say that NOTHING is as it appears.
For this portion, there were several boats full of crew members that you don't see on camera, and almost ALL of that bear footage was filmed without the Palin's anywhere in the vicinity.
The whole thing is a huge crock of shit.
But now I can see how she hopes to use it to give her some more outdoor credibility and further her political ambitions. How potential voters can ignore that shrill voice of hers I will never understand.
Flavor Flav surely got higher ratings than some limp travel program set in the boonies, and who cares about him?
ReplyDeleteI posted this at the bottom of the last thread about this farce, but it is worth a look:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.etonline.com/tv/101865_Bristol_Palin_Dishes_on_Her_Mom_s_New_Reality_Show_and_her_DWTS_Jive/
Bristol Palin tells ET what to expect on her mother's new show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," and what she and her pro partner Mark Ballas have up their sleeves for Monday night's "Dancing with the Stars."
Bristol says of the new TLC show, "On my mom's show, there's gonna be lots of Alaskan things."
"I appear on it, my son appears on it, the rest of my family's on it," Bristol divulges. "I think we're halibut fishing [in the episode I appear in]."
The show is about "just a lot of outdoorsy rugged things that we would do on a daily basis," Bristol shares.
When it comes to Monday's episode of "Dancing with the Stars," Bristol and Mark explain that they are dancing the jive and will also be dressing up in costume, but they can't reveal which characters they'll be playing.
Bristol says that her mom and little sister Piper suggested making a cheat sheet on her hand of the steps, but Bristol told them, "I wouldn't have time to look at it!" Mark also noted that there are so many steps to the jive, that it would take up both arms. And, following last week's scores, Bristol also notes that she doesn't want to do any more sexy dances!
When it comes to their strategy for avoiding elimination, Mark says, "We're just gonna try really hard like we've been doing every week."
I am really starting to hate them more than I already did, which I didn't think was possible. It's one thing for Sarah to spout off her nonsense at rallies and on Fox News, but now she and her slutty, chubby daughter are invading my favorite escape from reality TV and magazines.Can you say overexposed media whores????
I wish she'd prove she's a good mama by taking her kids (and herself) out of the damn spotlight instead of yammering on about mama grizzlies.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about that bear approaching their boat. Doesn't seem like something a bear would do with several other boats full of people and cameras right there. Inside scoop, Gryphen?
That's how ALL reality shows are filmed. Ever see Survivor? The contestants aren't around when they shoot the wildlife bits.
ReplyDeleteThey're all a waste of time and not worth watching, even without the Palins. Yuck.
Everything about this woman is "fake". Her hair, her political choices, her "happy family", her Facebook comments.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing "real" is that horrible, screeching, chalk on a blackboard voice that she is unable to do anything about.
Factor in the "belief" her devoted followers have in her and her unending quest in pursuit of the almighty dollar, and this is the "real" Sarah Palin up close and personal.
I think you would be surprised to find out how phony most of the outdoor adventure shows are. I think Sarah has found her niche. She has a phony marriage, she was a phony gov, she is a phony parent who had a phony pregnancy. She is a phony Christian, has a phony education, phony hair,phony concern for veterans and she shrieks about phony political issues.
ReplyDeletewonder if they released some "tame" bears from captivity just so they could have the palin's next to bears under fairly safe circumstances.
ReplyDeletedo all the palin's and heath's name their children awkward names?
gryphen, do you plan on watching this propaganda?
Watching the first trailer I had the impression that most of Alaska was a complete surprise and new adventure for Ms Palin, as if she had never set foot off the beaten path.
ReplyDeleteI don't live in Alaska but it seems to me that those who have accurate verifiable information about this show being phony should make it public. If someone doesn't expose this, the show will enter the public perception of her as a true and accurate picture. Take one fact at a time---ie did she climb that mountain? and twitter it.Keep it up with one fact after another.Much as she decries the media, it seems to me that the MSM
ReplyDeletehas given her a free ride and allowed her to treat them like garbage so they are not likely to expose her.
Another "dog bites man" story.
ReplyDeleteBristol will be dressed as Humpty Dumpty?
ReplyDeleteRick, when you sit on your ass most of the time eating Crunch Wrap Supreme, being outside for the first time would be an adventure.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone will vote her off the continent.
ReplyDeleteHow is it that the Palins are surprised by the bears - "wow," "oh, look" and "amazing?" For people who are supposed to be so outdoors-oriented, who teach their kids how to fish, hunt, and do outdoor sports, don't they come across as rubes, as city folk?
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of phonies.
Olivia @ 6:54 ... I love what you wrote!
ReplyDeleteI am a woman who has fished since the age of 4. (I am now 54) . Those shots of Sarah "fishing" prove conclusively to me that she had never held a fishing rod before. No. Clue. Whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteAlso, too, i believe there were at least two bear families mixed together in that clip. I couldn't listen to her voice so I turned off the sound. Was that supposed to be all one bear family? Didn't look like it.
What was Palin's comment about teaching Kate Gosselin what to do when a bear comes? Oh, my, what a surprise there is a bear encounter episode.
ReplyDeleteI have no respect for the Palins nor do I any longer give any credibility nor belief to S. Palin due to their compuslive sick needs to wildly exaggerate, distort, embellish to tell whopping lies.
Anyone who has raised a family especially with four or more children and for real provided their needs, drove them to their activities simply knows it is not possible to have both parents working in two different locals and also do these activities often much less "daily", do "al; the cooking" after hunting for the meat, have time to skin animals, disembowel them, butcher, do all the housework, yard work, no "help" as in babysitters, house cleaning, simultaneously spend the days fishing, cross country snow skiing, hiking up moountains.
What the heck is wrong with people who believe the physically impossible? If it sounds too good to be true then it isn't. lol I am still waiting to see "the family garden" Ssarah mentioned..which in reality is grass and no shrubs/landscaping at their house. lol..I forgot..the myth is Todd is buiding a 6,000 square foot house by his own sweat also. Geez, anyone who's had a marriage with someone into their own sporting hobby (snow machining/race avid) also ought to know it sucks up much time.
Tune in Monday night to see what trick is played from a card up Bristol's sleeve! Blame "sexy" as to why they got low scores. Sigh, raunch sex they did was the problem. No otehr dance couples did that nor use cheap tricks for they actually work hard at mastering steps.
Truth eventually comes out: sarah knowing she wrote a "cheat sheet" on hre hand..too f'ing lazy to commit to memory her major ideals.
The Palins do not value truth nor reality, it is not good enough for them. Why do something when you can just lie about it then cry "oh oh...they are attacking me..they want to destroy me!"
Yet, isn't it delicious when they let things slip e.g. the writing on the hand..revealing their work ethic including blaming others and pathalogical making things up?
Truth will come out for most people are not willing to be dragged down to their lies like the Fox show manipulating Ssarah did interviews using old canned material. Palins = masters of deception.
Sarah Palin has taken the beauty pageant idea and milf'd it. The pageants are all about self promotion. She hit the jackpot by running for mayor and riding that wave. McCain was her political sugar beast. She is Marshmallow Fluff, 100%, she lost her religion a long time ago and now, knowing that she is milking the country, she is laughing all the way to the bank.
ReplyDeleteNow if she could just get Joe Miller of West Point and Yale to say she'd make a great president...
I'm about to vomit!
ReplyDeleteReality TV Trainwrecks are one thing if you're some idiot mom drugging up your criminal children and practicing "The Secret"
ReplyDeleteor some douchebag clown from the jersey SHore
all of this is gross enough
but, if you are supposedly a serious person who is desirous of running for the highest office in the nation, puhleeeez, you need to step your tacky white trash ass away from the camera and get your kids into school and start acting like a respectable person.
of all the moronic stunts she has pulled, I honestly think this new celebutard status to which she seems addicted will ultimately be her undoing professionally

Does anyone know where I might find a comprehensive list of all the environmentally destructive policies that $arah enacted (or tried to) when serving as half-term quitter Governer? I want to be sure to include all of them in my letter to Discovery Communications in telling them that in giving a PR propaganda puff piece to a hateful, divisive, destructive politician they've lost me as a viewer from all of their networks, not just TLC.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I can't stand Sarah and curse McCain for ever bringing this phony into the spotlight, I almost feel sorry for her. Perhaps she has never known what real is. Maybe, for her, illusion is all she knows.
ReplyDeleteSame Sunday time slot as Desperate Housewives. Whatever will her fans without Tivos do?
ReplyDeleteSo I assume Pay-me Palin got the proper fishing licenses for this right?
ReplyDeleteOlivia: well said! Yes. --Amy1
ReplyDeleteGees they ALL talk like her--even Piper.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, they act like none of them has ever encountered a bear before.
Of course it is all a crock of shit G- Palin's involved so it can't be anything else.
ReplyDeleteIn this clip and the other one she acts as though she has never seen the outdoors - which is close to the truth.
Of course it's all a huge crock to you Alaskans and it is to we Canadians too for the most part. But it's just really, really cool to all those suthners' who eat this shit up. How brave they say and to prove it they see Sarah right next to the grizzlies. In their minds at least and for that reason they will support her.
ReplyDeleteAlaskans, meet madam president!
With so many obvious errors in the trailer, how can the show possibly be any good? TLC should be ashamed for airing such a blatant political piece as a reality show.
ReplyDeleteIt looked to me like she had 2 different fishing poles and didn't know how to properly use either of them. Who are the kids? I know one is Piper, but who is the other one...a niece? And how dumb is Piper, growling at a grizzly bear? For a child of the wilderness, it seems like that that being a no no would have been one of the first lessons she learned.
I don't think any bear would let boatfuls of people get that close to them. Also, if Palin became lunch for a grizzly that would certainly be poetic end/justice to her and her "let's eliminate" wildlife policies.
Two other quick things...Palin might lay down her life for her children (which I doubt), but you better believe she would not be how being a mother when she did and she would do it live on FOX News. Regarding, Bristol she is the only contestant who does not take the judges criticisms to heart and learn from them. Just like her mother, she is always going to be right.
I wish her body double would speak up, too.
ReplyDeleteNo way in hell Twitler is going to break a fingernail or mess up her makeup doing anything outdoors.
Phony, phony, phony.
I hope NO ONE watches it and it dies in infamy.
Question: Who is McKinley? (SP seems to be on a boat with Piper and another child I thought I heard her call McKinley)
ReplyDeleteOlivia, great comment. And yes, most all the 'reality' shows are done that way and I hate them, I hate them all. I really really dislike them, all of them. Even the ones that 'do good'.
(Don't sugarcoat it marvin, tell us how you really feel.)

I think I may have written this before, but JFK was our first "TV" presidential candidate. Sarah Palin may well be our first "Reality TV" presidential candidate.

ReplyDeleteSarah Palin interviews herself
"Okay, I'm going to interview myself. This is my dream."
Palin talks about her infamous campaign interview question, which still haunts her, about what she reads and then there are kids questions.
To hell with the grifter.
ReplyDeletekellygrl 8:58 I agree that this reality show is a poor and destructive political move. When news broke about Palin pitching hre reality show even her Peebots disliked the idea. The majority of their posts were about a reality show would not "be presidential". Being Peebots they managed to convince themselvess that surely their Sarah was going to do a documentary typical of ones
ReplyDeleteseen on Discovery channel NOT a REALITY show.
Someone posted that having fished since she is four she could spot Sarah is not a fisherman. Those who adore the myth may also see the same.
I agree that people speak up for truth, their businesses for the good of the AK people revealing shennanigans. I believe the Palins wanted the money and are delusional she will also be President. Sarah is entitled to all. IMO the Palins erred doing this show to obtain their ambitions.
The older I get I greater awareness I have nothing is often as it appears to be!
ReplyDeleteToo bad too many people will be seduced into thinking Mrs. Palin is the first american woman to conquer america's last and greatest frontier, and if she did that, doesn't that set her up to be a great president? That is message being packaged up, branded and sold via the media here folks to anyone that watches this show!
If that happens, we can expect to see the election of the First Women Reality Star President courtesy of Mark Barnett and the Discovery Network!
We are going to allow the Lame Stream Media and the Corporations that own them elect our next President because of their savvy, the best money can buy and control marketing to the masses?
Are we going to let that happen to our Country and our democracy? Because it can and it will if we do not actively engage to stop it with our voices and out votes and our collective consumer buying power! We must lobby to get all this corporate money out of our elections!
People like Fox News Owner and his Friends the Koch Bothers have the money to flood every single marketing medium in this Country - and they control the masses!
But we can control our ability to get out the VOTE! And, the Demorcatic Party will never sell out the American Workers and lovers of Womens Rights and Civil Rights and Equal Rights they way THESE TEAIPUBLICANS WILL! WE must STOP the Tea Party NOW in the Midterms and send Sarah Palin and her Corporate Puppet Masters a very loud, clear and resounding message - THEY WILL NOT CONTROL OUR ELECTIONS!
And, that Bristol Palin ,making bank while "Hiding in Plain Sight" and sending out a very poor message to teens everywhere with while Dancing on the Stars and now Sarah Scamalicious is once again scamming the American people with the help of this network and the producer with this editing job making her and her family look like they are all that - when they are NOTHING like that?
Sarah Palin can't even lead her own dark, mean-spirited heart of hatred, out of her own wilderness but she thinks God wants her to lead a nation!
THIS WOMAN IS SO LOST!
When are the good people of AK going to tell their stories and stop this shameless family that we all know is as BAD FOR THE REST OF AMERICA as she has BEEN FOR AK?
Facebook Lurker, If I were Piper's teacher, were she ever in school, the first thing I do would be to check that child's hand before any assignment! Lol.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, I watched my first full episode of DWTS online the other day, and I'm impatient for Bristol and Mark to be voted off so I can watch the show live. I'd actually like to see how Brandy, Jennifer Grey, and Audrina Patridge do. Even Kyle Massey- he may not be the best dancer ever, but you can tell he puts effort into his dances, and that makes him fun to watch.
And that is what every tv program is. Were you expecting different? television is always completely controlled. It looks entertaining to say the least.
ReplyDeleteHere is the best picture of Bristol I've seen. Amazing!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://malialitman.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/dancing-with-stars.jpg
any discussion?
I watched the bear clip. BTW the setting is beautiful. I started laughing at the shots of where the boat was then the clips of the bears up close as if the family got right up close. The dialogue gave the impression they were right up on the bears. Then I burst out loud laughing about the Mam Grizzly speech. I fell over doubled up in laughter! What I saw and do know about bears is they were guiding their cubs away from the intrusive humans. A Palin pit bull sticks her cubs up in humans faces then attacks people blaming her kids for her attacks.
ReplyDeleteI laughed harder at the shot sest up as if Sarah pulled her boat up to the shore still fishing.
Just to be certain for I am not an experienced outdoor person yet my son is, do not go up to the bears in the wild vying for their food. Some may perceive this stunt as "bravery"..some may think Alaskans are dumb and some this show is a steming load of crap or conclude Palin is an idiot.
I verified: http://www.alaskafishingak.com/alaska_bears/bear_attack.htm
lol: Hey kids..let's take our boat to the shore, get in the bears faces..isn't it fun? -CUT- "yES INDEED i AM A MAMA GRIZZLY PROTECTING MY CUBS" ROFLMAO
Remember, During the first GReta interview, Piper told a story about bears at the Govs mansion, that they see them everyday, as well as Moose and caribou at the Heaths house.
ReplyDeleteAll outdoor adventure shows are highly faked and dramatized to draw people in. This show hopes to show Alaska and how to have fun outside I'd say. THe Palins live active lives. Let them have their fun. Watch it or don't. There are a lot of people who still love Alaska because theyre not shallow vapid human beings who feel threatened by nothing.
Aren't we judgmental today?
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfect fit: fake reality for a fake "politician."
ReplyDeleteGeez, anyone who's had a marriage with someone into their own sporting hobby (snow machining/race avid) also ought to know it sucks up much time.
ReplyDelete---
They obviously manage and know personal needs must be met. During the winter, Todd practices at night and doesnt let it interfere with other activities. The kids are outgoing, adventurous people with a work ethic.
You do realize that you each have created such a specific picture of each Palin kid and the family as a whole, that when they do things that seem weird or different or wrong, you feel it's a betrayal to your image. Blame opinionated bloggers with no credibility. I'll stick to the fact that I've personally met most of the extended clan and they are fabulous and down to earth.
ReplyDeleteA sidebar. Here's some interesting stuff.
ReplyDeleteAll of the recent Sarah Palin appearances are hosted and sponsored by "The Liberty & Freedom Foundation".
There seems to be several foundation websites intentionally appearing to be different entities, but they are all the same, just different names.
405 8th St. SE, Suite 200
Washington, D.C. 20003
Info@liberty-freedom.org
This one is Elle Morgan, a "23 year-old from Kentucky." She has two different event contact numbers, one in Miami and the other in California. Neither is Washington, D.C.
"Contact Elle.Morgan@liberty-freedom.org or call Elle Morgan at 415-994-3425."
The Washington address appears to be a mail service. There are a number of unrelated businesses that share that address, like a home design contractor.
The website builder is a marketing agency in Texas, specializing in, yep, Twittering!
May 2010, "Call the Liberty & Freedom Foundation at 770-8440 or e-mail callie.speight@thelffoundation.org for reservations for $1,250 per couple or $4,000 per table."
Callie Speight is not mentioned anywhere on the Washington D.C. website, nor is there any organizational documentation.
But a quick Google gets you a different website, "Lead America Forward" and "For More information contact Callie Speight at 432 770-8440 or callie.speight@thelffoundation.org or mailto:info@thelffoundation.org"
The phone number is Midland, Texas.
This website contains an essay by Victor Cocchia, but like the other one, no organizational information. At the bottom it says: "The Liberty & Freedom Foundation· 3149 Broadway, Suite 22 · New York, New York 10027"
It's main feature is a link to "Ten in 10 PAC" http://thetenin10.org/
That website has completely dead pages. On the bottom on the one page that works, it says: "Paid for by The Liberty & Freedom Foundation. www.thelffoundation.org"
http://www.facebook.com/TheLibertyandFreedomFoundation
Victor Cocchia:
* New York businessman
* Owner at AMCS
* Editor at The Citadel
* Managing Director at VSE

*Business partner of Ron Devito (us4palin.com)
From appearances, this looks like Sarah Palin money-laundering/economic transfer scheme. Different "non-profit" organizations "sponsoring" Sarah and paying her speaker fees and expenses. Which derive from donations from SarahPAC and other right wing organizations?
None of these organizations are found as legally registered non-profits or corporations in any of the states in which they actively solicit donations and have contacts - Washington, D.C., New York, California, Florida, Texas.
LFF is not listed in the IRS's database and did not appear in the FEC's database.
I would call this unregulated illegal lobbyist activity.
Well it really cannot be denied that they ran into bears while fishing since those tmz pics show bears near the boat
ReplyDelete"On my mom's show, there's gonna be lots of Alaskan things.".
ReplyDeleteno shit Einstoned!
So...Bristol "thinks" she is in the halibut fishing episode? Well, that is enough for me to prove it was HER, not Willow in Homer when Palin rolled her eyes at the teacher.
ReplyDeleteAs for fake Discovery Channel, while in Afognak, witnesses say that when Palin arrived at the boat there was a Hispanic man in it. She refused to get in with him saying she could not afford to be photographed with someone who might "be an illegal."
During the fishing scenes, she did not know how to operate the rod and reel so for the close up shots they had to bring in a stunt double.
As some point she flipped out of the side of the boat. While being pulled back in, she called a man a "PR _ CK."
I do think the bear shots look phony. It is amazing what they can do these days.
I, for one, refuse to watch this load of crap. I have made a vow also, when she shows up on news programs and change the channel. I just can't do it anymore.
Megan, there's a HUGE difference between Survivor and Palin's (lie about) Alaska. On Survivor, the contestants are not supposed to be interacting with the wildlife. That's just for background and mood. Their main activities are competing in the challenges and building relationships with each other.
ReplyDeleteIn contrast, Palin's show IS supposed to be about how she interacts with the animals. That makes her show a much bigger lie than anything filmed for Survivor.
"Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."
ReplyDelete— Lewis Carroll
Isn't it illegal to harass bears? I seem to remember that when I went to photograph grizz in MT, that one was restricted to a certain distance away, or it was s federal crime. Now if when was really thatclose as the film implies - then she's a criminal. If she was farther away - as in requiring binoculars to see the bears, then the film is obviously fake. Spread that word.
ReplyDeleteI see Bristol is astonishing interviewers with her gigantic intellect again. "Sarah Palin's Alaska" is about "Alaskan things" - wow, brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGryphen I think this needs a post al of its own:

ReplyDeletePiper could not have seen any caribou but a dead caribou at the Heath house as no caribou live in Wasilla. One must travel at least 100 miles east to Nelchina or 150 miles west to near Cantwell to encounter a caribou wandering thru someone's yard.
See what happens when you get your Alaskan "facts" from a Palin?
The show will be filled with many more examples of "Alaskan Misinformation".
The fear for Alaskans should be that Palin supporters will be so enthralled by the TLC show that they will move en masse to the 49th state.

ReplyDeletesave it for someone who isn't paying attention to the Paylin show. we all are and aren't fooled.
Re: The bears. I believe they shot at least some of this footage at Wolverine Creek, which is not that far from Anchorage and which is visited by thousands of bear watchers and anglers every summer.
ReplyDeleteThere are many places along the coast where brown bears are "habituated" to people, meaning they have learned that the people aren't there to feed them or hurt them. I have been to several of these places myself, and it's true that habituated bears ignore people, even walking within several yards of them. This is why bear-watching has become an important ecotourism industry in recent years. It's quite amazing and a powerful experience to be around these bears. (Although you should never expect that ALL bears are this tolerant.)
However, in most of these places, you aren't allowed to approach bears--they choose how close they want to come.
Having said that, I have no doubt that much of this series is staged, particularly the mountain trekking part. Also the parts where they look like a functional family.
Somebody asked about Palin's wildlife policies: They were atrocious and continue to be with her appointees on the Board of Game and in the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
I grind my teeth every time she uses her Mama Grizzly line. She introduced a bill that would have made it legal to shoot bears from the air as well as wolves. It ran out of time in the Legislature and so never made it out of committee, but the game board is trying to make shooting bears from helicopters legal as a policy matter. They did make it legal to trap black bears and brown bears in certain "predator control" areas, and to kill cubs and mothers of cubs. The BOG is trying to make this possible throughout the state as a bear "management" technique. It's now also legal to sell hides, claws, and black bear meat.
She tried to establish an "incentive" (read: bounty) of $150 for aerial gunners who turned in wolf legs. The courts said it was a bounty and illegal.
There's much more to say (opposing listing polar bears and beluga whales as endangered species, etc.), but it's true that her wildlife policies as continued under Sean Parnell have been the worst ever seen in Alaska since before statehood.
The biggest fools in all of this, are the Republicans who are going to be shamed for history that this is their chosen one. Really, this is the best that you can do? Just the sight of Palins on TV repulses the majority of this country. Rethugs, you won't need to tent any longer, just pop up your two man umbrella.
ReplyDeleteSo, I was looking at RNC pics of Bristol and Levi. They were way awkward and you could pretty much tell that relationship was ALL look and no substance. You could also predict the breakup. I'm just shocked it didnt happen sooner and I'm shocked Levi went to MN. If that Todd/Levi story is correct and he had a heated argument in Aug 08, it was probably to reprimand Levi to make sure he wasn't gonna jet - you know to prepare for the election and all because you know they were ALL confident of the nomination.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, check out Bristol's expressions and the way she doesn't hold his hand. there's no grasp really.
to AK petmom, I'm sorry I mixed stories. Piper spoke about seeing bears at the Govs mansion. Chuck has spoken about seeing moose in their yard almost everyday. I don't know why I mentioned caribou. Didnt mean to be misleading. Now I feel like Gryphen
ReplyDeleteAnon 1:19 Thank you for the information on the bears. Please inform us if there is an episode fesature ecotourism of tame bears used to humans. Thank you also for Palin's wild life record.
ReplyDeleteIf, which I doubt, there were bears during filming and two big bears fighting I doubt a parent who cares about their little children would pull their boat up within feet or yards as the editing appeared in this video cutting to Sarah posturing as being protective. I laughed for the scene and her words is absurd.
The real mama bear was wise to lead her two cubs away from the Palins. That bear family are clearly not into teabaggers or know of Palin's vindictiveness lol.
I also laughed for the trailer begins with them far from shore then adds up close shots of the bears which is not real either.
Thank you to the poster clarifying there are no caribou in Wasilla.
We'll leaern more from real Alaskans :)here
Palin's show IS supposed to be about how she interacts with the animals.
ReplyDelete---
It's never been announced what the show will be specifically about, except to showcase Alaska. I wish they'd show some of Chuck's pictures and tell of their life in Alaska. The family pictures are fascinating and Sarah has most definitely grown up in true Alaskan fashion.
Let's not judge until the show has begun. It's not exactly fair since the ideas being put in people's heads are creating false perceptions. But then again, with false perceptions, this blog would not exist. Go ahead, speculate. I'm going to enjoy what TLC has in store.
ReplyDelete"But it's just really, really cool to all those suthners' who eat this shit up. How brave they say and to prove it they see Sarah right next to the grizzlies. In their minds at least and for that reason they will support her."
ReplyDeleteI'm a "suthner" I suppose to you. I do not eat this "shit up" and do not believe it is for real. In my mind and for that reason I will not support her.
You are arrogant and opinionated and obviously have never known any Southerners. We are as varied and independent as any of your acquaintances whoever they may be and wherever you and they might live. I bet you call us all "rednecks" even though you probably don't know what a redneck is.
The teaparty people you see on TV and in videos are rarely southerners. Do some homework and find out just who they are. I'm so tired of people like you putting down southerners and assuming they are all uneducated, stupid individuals. Believe me, that is NOT true.
Go back to your cave and do try to learn something about the world and the people in it.
Sarah being fake? It sounds like reality to me.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of people who still love Alaska because theyre not shallow vapid human beings who feel threatened by nothing.
ReplyDelete11:04 AM
I hate to break it to ya, but Alaska is no longer seen the way it once was.
Your days of being known for pristine beauty and amazing wildlife are over. Have been since the spotlight hit $carah and your appalling attitudes towards wildlife hit the internet.
I believe you have enough decent people up there that can turn this around but for right now...
you guys are mostly just a joke state.

I wonder if there's any truth to the rumor/gossip/innuendo that there's a financial relationship between TLC/Discovery and Sarah's collective campaign financing. The PAC and other PACs that are shells for Sarah, Fox, James Dobson, Heritage Foundation, Salem Communications, etc.
ReplyDeleteIs Discovery being paid for this show?
That is what forever irks me when she quit and ran away to Bristol Bay to "pick fish" or haul nets with Todd. She wanted LSM to follow her and 'catch' her in her 'natural environment.' (Just as she happened to be caught by a reporter reading a book to Trig on her book tour.)
ReplyDeleteSarah has never liked fish slime. Couldn't stand dirty Dillingham, the natives and other locals and the region's lack of road-system amenities - even if it blows Wasilla's beauty out of the water.
When she was chastising NBC's Andrea Mitchell for 'not listening to me,' but especially for not acknowledging Sarah in her hip wader regalia:
Was it difficult to readjust to 'the nitty gritty'' of government in Alaska following the brief national run that she enjoyed last year? "You mean like the fish slime and the dirt under the finger nails?'' she replied. "No... I am a fighter, I thrive on challenge.''

ReplyDeleteBristol sure is a quick one and as dynamic as her father. Did you catch Audrina Patridge saying she went from being a desk receptionist six years ago to leading the show today? Take that "Office Manager" single mom abstinate born-again virgin yet pregnant Bristol.
Anyway, . . .No kidding Bristol, your mom's show has a lot about Alaskan things? In Alaska? Called Sarah Palin's Alaska? Wow, thanks for the heads up. Oh, and the family will be in it? Family first? Uh huh, how's that co-parenting thing going while you hold your kid hostage in L.A. from his daddy?
And someone should advise her not to stroke her tongue around in her mouth while on camera, the way someone had the audacity to advise Sarah not chew on gum during city council meetings like a cow. Or does shy, out of her element Bristol like to seduce the Joe-Six-Pack and Bill Kristol's out there with her grody mouth action?
Check that, her tongue in cheek is the only fluidity her body shows off on the dance floor.
She uses the fishing pole the same way she handled that automatic weapon visiting the troops.
ReplyDeleteMen will drool she's touching these tools, nevermind she has no idea what to do with them.
They imagine a different tool she can handle. Think Bill Maher's Farve rip and Rich Lowry's "Little Starbursts through the screen" in her VP debate.
I just made myself sick. And you too, also.

ReplyDeleteDuring the winter, Todd practices at night and doesnt let it interfere with other activities.
---
Really? Todd only trains at night? In the pitch dark night of winter, with very little light pollution to light up the wilderness he is barreling through the snow, drifts, berms and trees with just the light of his sno-go and sheer guts?
These people walk on water for the bots.

ReplyDeleteI hear you. You're absolutely right. No excuses, but explanation to qualify the rudeness. If it's even necessary; you already know.
Unfortunately there's some truth there. Sarah Palin has a significant following in the south and middle America. People who live on fixed incomes but will dig deep to donate to her multiple begging campaigns. Good God-fearing souls who line up to buy a book and a photo of her.
These are the people who watch the shittiest entertainment garbage ever produced, buy magazines to read the latest gossip, made Kate Gosselin a household name and will now transfer their fascination to this crappy show.
The irony is that those who are most possessive of Alaska and most critical of "Outsiders" (a term introduced by carpetbaggers who always needed to go back "outside"), are almost always people who haven't been here very long themselves.
Here's some Alaska demographics that might interest you: the majority of folks who consider Alaska home have been here for two generations at most. (Obviously, this does not describe indigenous people.)
You can take that to the bank. That's an official statistic.
Me? I've been here 10,000 years on one side and two generations on the other, with four generations in America. And equally proud of both. Looking forward to learning about and meeting Scandinavian direct relatives someday. And I hope they won't begrudge me being an American.
It's never been announced what the show will be specifically about, except to showcase Alaska. I wish they'd show some of Chuck's pictures and tell of their life in Alaska. The family pictures are fascinating and Sarah has most definitely grown up in true Alaskan fashion.

Yes, "Chuck"..ummm I mean Anonymous @ 2:23pm, please show some of "Chuck's" pictures....I'm sure they are quite interesting! Could we request pictures of Sarah say between December 07 thru ummmm lets see April 08? Thanks in advance.
Bristol said "commercial fishing".
ReplyDeleteUh-huh. Yep, every summer boat captains gear up for going out longlining. They of course need crew. So they walk the docks and call their buddies for leads, hoping to find 19 year-old girls who have never fished commercial halibut or even crewed on a boat. Perfect! You're hired! And please, bring the baby still in diapers with you! Sure, no worries, I'll drive the boat and hold him while you set skates and work the back deck, okay?
And do you think you could see if your mom and your 9 year-old sister would want crew jobs, too?
But gosh, I sure hope we don't actually catch any halibut because then we're really screwed, aren't we!!!
What is this fantastical "Forrest Gump" fishing boat nonsense?!
Even you folks that don't know anything about commercial halibut fishing can surely see that this is stupidly ridiculous, right?
You've all seen Deadliest Catch. Do you envision Bristol, Piper and a baby out there?

ReplyDeleteI will be damned if that dosent look like a baby bump from hell on BP... I really do not think it can be covered up too much longer. That is the best pic I have seen yet.
BABY BUMP?
Dude. All shows are filmed this way. Duh.
ReplyDeletethe show should be named Alaskas $arah paylin!

Your biggest error here is assuming that Sarah grew up. She hit 12 and remains in arrested development.
But fake is now movies and TV are made.
ReplyDeleteEntire city scapes of moving traffic, pedestrians etc, are all added later by shooting the actors against a blue screen.
It all faked.
"QUEEN Sarah's" conduct/morals toward the people of Alaska were hung out to dry the day that she showed them just what kind of a person that she was bye resigning her govnerorship of their fine state! In my hunble opinion she is just a comon "Broude Maor" and she should stay with that, 'have some more, Sarah' you need/deserive them. Stay home and keep your "BIG?STUPID mouth shut!!! We have all heard more than enough from you!!!
