What happened about talking about the show?

Did I hit too close to home?

I've got more comments if you'll let me post them....

Yeah, it's cute how posters' threads and/or posts just vanish into thin air. It seems pretty common. How efficient and tidy..

As you can tell by all of the comments still on this forum, I am not heavy handed with deleting posts. I really only remove a post if it is in violation of our visitor agreement. I hope you understand.

If you could reprint my post and point out my violations I'd be happy to accommodate. My goal is not good, but better travel programming without pandering to our audience members. Agreeable, n'est pas?

Please feel free to contact me offline if you have any concerns. I can be reached at moderatorben@gmail.com.

the show sickens me..i couldnt stand looking at it a second longer than my finger could find the remote..

This show is a complete disappointment. This guy went to the Turks and Caicos (which I have personally been to) and he completely makes himself look like an idiot. I must say, this guy is more annoying that anyone could stand. Even my Mom mentioned how annoying he was, and how she had to change the channel. I love the Travel Channel, but am offended they'd send this guy anywhere on vacation for a show. Please send me, I guarantee I can entertain viewers a lot more, and I won't annoy every single local inhabitant of the island.

mod_ben, My intention wasn't to start one of those bitty little internecine internet threads. Just that Bourdain is the Gold Standard, Anthony Andrew is a sham for your viewers, and you/the producers should watch the Disney/Stalinesque censorship on these forums. Thanks.

I agree, this is awful.

"Life's A Trip" is ridiculous, and the host needs a major attitude adjustment to get rid of his annoying, shallow, ignorant, aging frat-boy veneer. This host is a complete jerk.... he completely disrespects every culture he visits.... I'm an anthropology student and a writer/performer... give me a show, and I'll show the Travel Channel how to do a show that respects the cultures and the audience.
