‘Eaten Alive’ by a snake
Updated | By tanstan fourie
Discovery Channel's Eaten Alive special did not go exactly according to plan
Viewers felt slightly cheated after dedicating two hours of their lives to watch a human being squeezed by an anaconda and not eaten alive like it was advertised
American naturalist, Paul Rosolie, filmed himself being 'eaten alive' by a snake for a TV stunt - but is now facing backlash for getting his safety team to save him after just part of his head was consumed.
Check out a short snippet of the two hour show here:
People were so upset that Paul Rosolie was not eaten alive by a anaconda that they decided to share their thoughts on Twitter.
Here are some of the funniest angry Tweets:
Next time I watch something called #EatenAlive, somebody better get eaten alive.

#EatenAlive should have been called #SqueezedAlive instead ... False marketing LOL @Discovery

Misleading title: #EatenAlive. Appropriate title: #BroHuggedByABigSnake.

If you ever want to complain that #GhostHunters doesn't find enough ghosts - just watch #EatenAlive and know true disappointment. ;)
