Discovery’s failed ‘Eaten Alive’ disappoints, angers viewers
Viewers waited anxiously for filmmaker Paul Rosolie to enter the belly of an anaconda Sunday night on Discovery, but “Eaten Alive” failed to deliver.
Instead, Rosolie bailed when the snake’s squeezing proved too much for his lower arm.
If you were disappointed, you weren’t alone. Social media blew up in disappointment.
#EatenAlive should have been called #SqueezedAlive instead … False marketing LOL @Discovery

I thought #EatenAlive was referring to an anaconda eating a man, not the 2 hours of my life I just wasted
