what they go through is absolutely real and dangerous, nonetheless one has to sit back and think - why do they do it? for money. what an exciting way to earn money!? but what a worldly motivation. we all love to see some heroics - it's at a minimum in this series.
i've surfed over this program and there is simply nothing in it that has attracted me to stay tuned for even 2 minutes. just a bunch of boats with a bunch of sleep-deprived men who wants to earn the big bucks. i'd rather sleep than watch it. i get very little out of watching it. just not my taste... next please...
