I'm watching the new season right now, it really makes big dog look like *******s.     I would be lying if i said i followed every safety rule every time all the time but these idiots are really cutting corners.    I don't care if you follow me around and film as long as you stay the hell outta my way, but you better believe i get rights to final cut and how big of an A hole you make me look on tv.

I'll agree the show is nothing but a bunch of fools. However that's not how it went down. I know and do a lot of work for a lot of Autrie's company's and I have known the guys who came up with the show idea for along time. The majority of the work BDD does is for production companies owned by Autrie's Stevens ie Endevor Energy. Those other companies you mentioned make up a small percentage of the work BDD does. Autrie also owns all of the service companies that do work for his production companies. Those guys on the show don't actually work for BDD. They are actors that have rough necking experience (minus the company man and on up) brought in for a few hours throughout the drill to film. Once the cameras leave the regular workers go back to work.

From past experiences with those film guys, a word of advice.  Don't trust any of them.  Remember, if you work with them, you are just a tool that allows them to sell there product, and that would be your day to day life.
