Regarding the chick lost in the Grand Canyon...

They should have named this episode: "I Shouldn't Be Outdoors, Because I'm a Girl."

Only an idiot would:

1) Hike into the Grand Canyon ALONE without a map or compass, with no idea where you're going.
2) Decide to put your backpack down after the first few hours of walking because it's "too heavy", when it contains your only food, water, sleeping bag, and supplies.
3) SCARE AWAY YOUR OWN DOG, because he drank your water....????? REALLLY????

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... Sadly, she lived and went on to raise a family, so we'll probably have to rescue her children from a sandbox, bedroom closet, or the local mall someday soon.

"I Shouldn't Be Outdoors, Because I'm a Girl."
That seems sexist. A guy could've been as much of an idiot in that situation as she was.

And the dog drinking the water didn't cause her to be angry... the dog made the glasses case (collecting the drops of water) fall over, which cost her hours of water collected.

Yeah, 'cause there's never any really stupid men featured on this program

How about "I Shouldn't Be Alive...Because I'm A Manly Man Edition"

Stupid is stupid, it doesn't discriminate on the basis of gender, as this series amply demonstrates.

The actress who played her was pretty hot, though. :-P

The other mistakes were bad enough but I absolutely couldn't believe it when she just left her back pack behind. It was good to see the dog end up surviving though when it was put in that predicament by the owner's foolishness.

[–] dexteric01 12 years ago

Well the first two mistakes were the ones I didn't like. Leaving the backpack because of its 20+ pounds? Oh come on, at least take some of it with you! Empty something heavy or for your own sake, leave some sort of trail leading to and from the backpack if you really must leave it!!! She really is so lucky to be alive, out of all the episodes I have seen, this one tops the list as the one where she really got some luck on her side. A lot of it.

A better title: "I shouldn't be outdoors, Because I'm a moron."

No one with a single bit of intellectual reasoning or common sense would do ANY of the things you mentioned. I had a very hard time feeling sorry for her.

I came to this board to see if anyone had made a thread about how incredibly stupid this girl was.

[–] Temporary_Jesus 12 years ago

This is to all of you who are calling her a moron for the decisions she made. You've come to that conclusion after sitting in your comfortable homes, being able to get a nice cool drink (or a warm one if it is cold) knowing that you have a warm bed to sleep in. You had time to think about what you would post on this forum.

If she was able to make the same decisions again in your situation she would probably have decided differently.

How many Darwin award deaths have been avoided by people saving idiots.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

I came her right after watching that episode, I didn't feel anything for her, "I was only rooting the dog to survive" I was so piss that there is someone on earth that can make such a stupid decision, someone like her should one be able to breed hopefully her husband made make every day decision, witch is why she is alive.

At lest take your water and sleeping bad whats that like 5 or 10 pounds.

Left her back pack behind, she should be #1 on the I Shouldn't Be Alive best of the stupidest survivor edition.

And for those who think that men make stupid decision, yes we do but we all know that in the wilderness, never abandon your supplies, even if you have to fight a bear or pack of wolves, either fight, run, but never abandon your water and sleeping bag those are the two things that will help you survive.

Also guys and speaking of women and their stupid decision, here is two other idiots in 2013 that Shouldn't Be be allowed to to outside. Please google

Rescued hikers, one pregnant, die after driving into ocean
Pregnant Woman & Her Friend Drown Just Hours After Being rescue Amy Stiner, 37, and Melissa Moyer, 38, had just been found after getting lost while hiking at Roque Bluff State Park in Maine.

I was so piss off that the dog also went down with those idiots.

"I was only rooting the dog to survive"

She was really pissing me off. Even during the the interview when she said it wasn't until the 2nd night that she knew she had a problem etc...

Most episodes leave me in cold astonishment, and missing anything resembling a lesson learned from the protagonists. Oh well, just a little bad luck there, I’ll probably do it again.

But this Grand Canyon story was the opus magnum of stupidity, in a program populated with imbeciles. Darwin’s ghost kept telling me; she is supposed to die, so the human species can advance. I nodded in knowing agreement and thinking, please, please don’t reproduce.

Then as if to taunt or even mock me, at the end of the program they actually show her progeny, which I think caused me to have a little cerebral hemorrhage and bladder failure. Really? I needed to see that?

I honestly believe the show should change the title to: “I should have a tubal ligation, or vasectomy.”

[–] tigerbos 11 years ago

Right. As if there weren't any stupid men making remarkably dumb mistakes in this show. Sexist turd.

Chill Someone made a funny so laugh.

Or are you one of those precious kind of females that believes the whole world is out to get ya and all men are teh evil and stupid?

[–] tigerbos 11 years ago

No one said all men are evil and stupid. He made a reference to stupidity of women and I made a comment that there are men who are stupid as well...so what's the matter...I made a funny. You're supposed to laugh. Why aren't you laughing or are you one of those precious dudes who think all women are stupid and only good for one thing?

I'll tell you in another life when we are both cats.

Learn to relax and stop taking yourself so seriously.

[–] tigerbos 11 years ago

Why didn't you relax before you answered my comment then?
