For pure entertainment and laughability - I'd give it a 5 plus stars. My wife and I have watched nearly every show on Bigfoot, not that we believe, but there has NEVER been any proof. This show was quite funny in how un-logical it was and made ZERO sense.
If these guys were real and not actors, they had themselves so psyched out before they even got there, we knew it would be a sucky show.
Every time they talked about "getting proof", they'd all ACT like men until a twig snapped and then they'd run away. "Let's get out of here before he gets here." WHAT?!? If you want proof, then stick around until it does show up and you can get pictures.
One other Bigfoot show, had an episode filmed in northern New Mexico. Supposedly, Bigfoot came by one house every night at 9 pm and looked in the kitchen window. Set up several trail cams and a video camera and get proof! Nope, that would be to logical. These guys on this Alaskan Killer Bigfoot show were the same.
LOGIC DICTATES. It has to. What's the most prevalent large predator in Alaska? THE BEAR. Black bear or brown bear (griz). So the spot they found where a large "being" had slept wasn't Bigfoot - IT WAS A BEAR!
I've spent enough time backpacking, camping and fishing to know that when I go into the back country I'm packing. Only 1 had a weapon?
They're security guy, Kyle, was the smart one. Our guess is that he realized how badly bogus this was and had a "family emergency" so he could leave. I truly hope he and his family are OK, but he got out before the show went further down the tubes.
REALLY NOW! Which one of the camera crew set the little shack on fire? Of course, it did promote a possible second season. Thankfully, it's been cancelled. The only good point of this show was how funny and stupid it was.
I certainly hope Discovery paid these guys enough money to actually start to rebuild the town.
