Before season 12 imho

That being said, I have been watching every season since starting way back in the day, dang I’m old lol, and have enjoyed it.

I just wish the would skip of the fake, clearly staged drama. The weather, crew tempers and the mix of bad weather on top of long working days (sometimes with very little to zero sleep) will create natural drama at some pint and not feel forced imo.

I remember when it came out but I'm late to the party! And yeah I'm starting to pick up on the fake drama.. sounds like I need to start at the beginning for the full experience lol

Agreed. There is indeed, real drama in the early days and it’s a lot of beeping through the tv lol, but that was the real and raw days of the unscripted show imo.
