O
ne way out is a new show on the Discovery Channel that premiered last night.We love it!
This guy, Jonathan, is an escape artist. He finds situations in which there is only one way to escape. Last night he escaped from a box while he was covered with bees. He had to get out in 30 seconds or before the box (which was on a washing machine) started shaking and agitating the bees.
For practice, he "handcuffed" himself to a table and then had a live scorpion in his mouth so that he could get used to escaping with minimal movement and not reacting violently to the stings of the scorpion.
He also went with his friend Mike (hilarious) to a Bee Farm to find out the most sensitive places on the body (that could be shown on TV) to be stung by a bee.
Then he had a 2nd show where he was handcuffed (or whatever) and had to escape from a dumpster filled with ice water and a 3 inch thick layer of ice on the top of it.
It's like...what David Blane would be if he had any emotions and was exciting and wanted to entertain his audience instead of just himself.

You have to watch this show. Mondays @ 9pm EST (and multiple times after that, you know how cable is...)
At least go watch THIS CLIP. I couldn't find a way to embed the video. :-(

Is it on TV?
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah. The first sentence said: One way out is a new show on the Discovery Channel that premiered last night.
ReplyDeleteThat guy's on a serious Houdini trip or something. Scorpions and bees? That's too crazy for even me.
ReplyDeleteSorry to say this, but I think that "One Way Out" is another example of the current selection of lame shows on regular cable tv. Other examples are Extreme Trains, Tougher in Alaska, Smash Lab, and The Detonators (and so many more). They're either derivative of Mythbusters (in a way) or they simply have uninteresting if not annoying hosts/performers. I dare you to watch Extreme Trains on the History Channel. The host is like a dentist's drill. The escape artist guy on One Way Out is just plain annoying. When we don't pay for it, we get junk!
