Did anybody watch 'Sarah Palin's Alaska'?

neelynicole

I read that it was one of the highest viewed TLC premieres. I'm by no means a political person, but I just don't like her. Especially in the previews where she says something along the lines of how she'd rather be out in the wilderness as opposed to some 'stuffy political office'. Yet, isn't she planning to run for a political office again soon? Smart.

Anyway, I digress....

Did anyone watch it? And what did you think? Is it worth watching just for the sheer silliness?

Neely- I'll be honest, if I have to listen to her voice for 4 years I will commit Hari Kari. It is gnawing to my brain. So thats a no on watching the show.

truegirl89

Yes, I watched it. I don't really like her either. I heard the comment, and I was wondering if there was going to be controversy over it. I think that she was mad just because she didn't win. JMO. I think that I might continue watch it. Just out of curiosity.

Does she get eaten by a bear?
 If not, I have no interest in watching it.

Yeah, learning about the environment from Sarah Palin is like a hooker teaching abstinence.

dawnmarie1279

I have not watched it, for I really don't like her.

I can see Russia from my backyard.

TheCranberry

If she runs for anything, her opponent has a ready made ad with that line.  I pictured it as soon as I heard that line.

I didn't watch the show, but we watch a lot of outdoors and nature shows so I'm surprised FI hasn't brought it up yet.

I did not watch it, and have no plans to. I just do not understand why we need to see her and her family traipse around Alaska!?

Did you know that in Latin the "ae" combination indicates the vocative? So every time I read your SN I think "Of rainbow."     The "ae" combo also makes the long "i" sound.
     That is all.

 Yeah, I've got issues. On the up side, everything you say seems postive. You could be yelling curse words, and I'd think "Aw. She's made a rainbows."


ETA: Posted too fast.

neelynicole

Thank goodness I'm not the only one that thinks she's BSC.

It cracked me up when right after the elections she decided to resign her (governal?) position. Gee, sore much? And THEN I read something about her talking about a possible presidential run. Yeah, when someone resigns from their initial political office, that makes me sketchy on whether she'd be able to even come close to handling the presidential responsibilites for more than a day (like she'd win anyway lol).

That comment about stuffy political offices just killed me. Really? You want to say that on national TV? Nice.

jasmineh7777

If Sarah Palin ever becomes president, I will become an Ex Pat. No joke.
 I really like John McCain, but Sarah? Ugh.

I'm defintely not always positive, hah, but I dont usually curse. I do like the visual of seeing me make rainbows though! I'm picturing it now!

That's completely ridiculous IMO.

I saw about 10 minutes of the show's encore later in the evening. I never liked her and I actually stopped watching DWTS because her daughter has stayed on the show so long. I just don't see anything special about that family.

LessThanZero

I had planned to watch it initially because I was genuinely interested in seeing whether there was one, just ONE quality I found to be redeeming in that scorpion woman. Then I missed the show. Oh well.

Dont worry about looking, even if there was ONE quality, the sound of her voice would just cancel it out anyway! Ah it makes me twinge!

I watched about 5/10 mins of it. The Alaskan scenery was amazing. That's all I've got.

But you can see that amazing Alaskan scenery on the travel channel, or take a trip yourself right? Why do we need to see it through her family?

Dude, John is the least Republican-y Republican ever. 

 Before the election, he was all grandpa-like and sweet. And for some strange reason, he became really unlikeable while he was running. Now he's better.

Celles

If you overlook the fact that he divorced his former model of an ex-wife after she was disfigured in a horrible car accident to marry the younger, prettier, wealthier and -- what else?  oh, right! -- less handicapped version!

I loathe John McCain.  He was the guest speaker at my company's most recent town hall meeting, where he ranted like a crazy person about out of control spending.  Of course, when someone asked him about his plans to improve education in Arizona, he replied that all children in the state should have the option to attend the same kind of expensive private schools that his kids were privileged to attend.  How, pray tell, does he expect to do that without (omg!) spending?

I was really sad that all questions were pre-screened.  I had two queued up:

"Senator McCain, how do you reconcile running a campaign under the slogan 'character matters' when, in fact, you have none?"

"Senator McCain, are you sorry you unleashed Sarah Palin on the American people and do you have a plan for putting her back in her box?" 

Simply Fated

Just don't say you didn't like the show...
