I saw the show. It was real shitty. Corwin is a rump ranger that’s for sure.Surprised he was able to rough it for this episode.

Well, I’ll say it – the show was just awful. None of the people on camera with Jeff (in Thailand) even spoke English, so it was basically an hour of him blubbering on and on to himself.

I know nothing about Corwin. But halfway into the episode, I was positive that he was gay. Then I saw the wedding ring and heard him mention his “wife.” Surely he’s talking about Jim J Bullock at home. The man has to be gay.

Actually, Foodie, we viewed an advanced screener of the episode. And having watched the episode again tonight, I can say it was even worse – and more unoriginal – the second time around. We didn’t write an article based on a press release, we simply referenced it.

The show is, unquestionably, a blatant rip-off of Bizarre Foods, Dirty Jobs, No Reservations, and Samantha Brown’s Passport… except even more difficult to sit through, because Corwin has the personality of a corpse.

Thanks for writing in!

This isn’t journalism. It’s a humor and satire site. You want journalism? Take your ass to the AP or Reuters. Bye bye.

I’m going to call you out on your poorly written article that insists this show is unoriginal, when you haven’t even seen it.
(As it is still airing as I write this.)

Sure, write an article with your criticisms based on the press release, and call it journalism. I call it sad.
