    Thoughts on the Shark vs Phelps race?
    Was interesting to watch, but seemed kind of fake with how they put the final clash together. At least Mayweather vs McGregor should last a little longer.

    Very silly and a waste of money with the CGI. They admitted it was fake and a real shark swims more than 4x faster than any human has ever recorded so not sure why they even bothered doing it.

    Who actually believed this was real?!

        Best part is they waited till 3 minutes before the hour episode ended to explain it was cgi.....

        Such non-sense but it got lots of ppl watching

            Oh gosh that's sad. I'm not some animal, mammal, reptile, tree, whatever expert and to be honest I still can't even figure out north from south where I live. But honestly I'm not going to think a dude is going to beat a shark in a swimming contest, no matter who he is. Seriously come on now. What a stupid concept for a show.

                I'm not proud to confess but I'd be flagrantly lying if I said that I haven't done dumber things than that. Actually I don't rly have any shame or much care ab admitting but yes, easily dumber

                  Hah. Could have just slowed the fake shark down for a Phelps win. You would think anyone with a brain knows a shark will beat a human. Could let Phelps get halfway in an Olympic pool then let the shark loose and the shark would win by 5 seconds still. Shark Week has been terrible for years. Always fake crap now.

                      Set my autotune to the program AFTER Phelps vs. Shark. Just like clockwork it tuned in 3 minutes before the hour to watch the race. This system works well with other shows like Tanked, West Coast Customs, Treehouse Masters or any other shit show with 57 minutes of fluff.

                          Waste of time....what was Mike paid for this? I laughed my ass off when he said: "I've always had a interest in sharks...." Are you saying that because you're being paid or did you think of that one day when your getting high? Maybe the offers to make $$ are not that good now for swimmers after the last Olympics fiasco?

                              i wrestled a bear once. Was winning to, then the bear took something out of its tights and jammed me in the throat with it. The bear then threw me in a bear hug and after a valiant try, I finally passed out after my third head butt to that big bastard.

                                What a croc of crap and I woudnt doubt if there were people who think he could actually swim faster than a shark, Id doubt he coudl swim faster than your average fish in a pond.
