Matt, can you speak with the accent?

atravelynn May 3rd, 2007 10:18 AM

Yes Matt, the accent is a key component. Thanks for the alert Carla.

If Leonardo DiCaprio can do it in "Blood Diamond," then I am sure Matt can too!

Let me ask a question about the game drives: are there any actual guests from the lodge on those drives, or is it just the driver and the webcam? I don't see/hear anyone else and wondered why a lodge would pay for one of its employees to go around and show wildlife solely for a webcast.

Chris-
It's just the crew I believe.

Hit this link and then scroll down. It will give you a couple of bios on the folks in the jeep.

It would also be nice to have this on cable/satellite TV. Another "reality" show. Could easily replace any one of 200 worthless channels.

ps - in fact, I'd trade it for ALL of the 200 worthless channels

Tom, it is eventually going to be on TV according to an email I got from Jurie at Djuma...just wait this is only the beginning!

Eric

Actually, to think about it......the Big Cat Diary began when in 1996? that possibly was the first reality show before all these garbage television shows were made.......

What annoys me more is absolute garbage reality tv like American Idol etc etc., televised around the world including here in India....

Well, I don't consider American Idol a reality show. Just a musical(?) program.

Now how about "Orange County Choppers", or "Deadliest Catch", or "Dirtiest Jobs" or "Meerkat Manor". Those are pretty good reality shows. Have you seen any of those Hari?

regards - tom

HariS May 3rd, 2007 05:41 PM

Only Meerkat manor from your list, Tom.....i may have seen commercials for one or two of the other ones. Didnt catch my attention.....

The djuma show may be good when they deceide to air it....fodorites may recognize some sabi sands leopards that have home ranges covering across lodge zones.......

HariS May 3rd, 2007 05:43 PM

oh, and Tom......American Idol had the worst ever contestant Sanjaya Malaikar. He was of Indian descent and apparently created quite a bit of media hype all over the world.....

CarlaM May 3rd, 2007 07:25 PM

Ok guys, can we please get back to more important details like...who our ranger will be for today's game drive!!!

Will it be Pieter or Nick??? [-o<

Oh..and btw Hills...Matt DOES have THE accent!

Chris_GA_Atl May 3rd, 2007 07:41 PM

I predict today's game drive will be conducted by Sanjaya!

CarlaM May 3rd, 2007 07:52 PM

You're gonna get it Chris! :p

hills27 May 3rd, 2007 08:06 PM

Let's just remember that American Idol was started by the Brits.

I think Matt has to provide a sample of his accent.

hills27 May 3rd, 2007 08:09 PM

...and a picture in his khakis.

CarlaM May 3rd, 2007 09:20 PM

Oh no! I can't get in tonight...anyone else having trouble? I need my "game drive fix" for the night...sos. :'(

CarlaM May 3rd, 2007 09:36 PM

>:O Hey everyone..WAKE UP! Let's get this game drive going or I am going back to sleep...UP AND ADAM!

CarlaM May 3rd, 2007 09:39 PM

I meant...UP and AT 'EM (silly me!)

matnikstym May 3rd, 2007 10:19 PM

sorry ladies, but put any of us men here in khakis, in a rangerover, on a game drive and we'd look better than Pieter, and NOT need an accent. ;)
