its a stupid show about stupid people in a stupid situation

It's merely the soap opera with different costume & makeup. And the
conflict points in the script are announced beforehand. The only
difference from daytime soaps is there's no pretense at even beginning
to imitate real life.

There's no reason to consider the negatives in this forum other than
that it looks to me like a staffer is having everyone on every show/
season use their bent-shaft paddles backwards. The rest of the content
is immaterial. Paddlefolk naturally want media depictions of paddling
to be correct. To not mislead anyone. Of the millions who are
watching. Also, the folks on the show probably are indeed tired and
would benefit from easier paddling. And also, heck, they're people,
too---they're obviously nonpaddlers who are now getting to do some
paddling and it looks like some staffer is making them have a bad
time. If even a soap opera person is paddling for the first time I
want them to learn right so they can enjoy it. Does everyone just
naturally use a bentshaft backwards and never try it the other way and
notice a difference? I'm not sure I'd even notice the difference right
away. And if I had no experience to compare it to? --JP
