The sharks eating the dead whale was one of my favorite parts! (Nature recycling itself!) I was almost hoping the shark researcher who got out on what was left of the carcass the second day fell in. No offense against him but it was just about the dumbest thing I've ever seen anybody do. Plus his name is Rocky Strong, ferchrissake. Sounds like a porn star.

Yeah I was with you on Rocky Strong falling in; that was really dumb. I didn't mind the sharks eating the whale. It died naturally.
Craig Ferguson seemed quite moved after feeding the sharks. He gets a lifetime pass for that.

I'm not much on Shark Week normally but I love Craig and watch his show every day (also seen his stand-up act twice) so I caught the special last night. He gets super excited about SW every year, so I'm not surprised he was tapped to host this year. He's a pretty cool guy and I'm always glad to see the Craig love grow. The special was a good example of his awesomenes, he's very funny but can be serious when needs be and isn't afraid to express genuine emotion. And he cusses a lot.

I was a little surprised that Discovery let him cuss so much. Yeah, they bleep it, but apparently they get mad at Mike Rowe on "Dirty Job" for saying "Poop" and "Crap" which is why he has defaulted to "Poo."
But Craig did a great job, and it was nice to see how touched he really was at the end.

He cusses so much on the Late Late Show that they bleep him in different languages just to mix it up, he curbed it for a little while because CBS apparently wasn't happy with him. It didn't last long though.

I'm watching shark week from 2008 and this guy is trying to put great white sharks to "sleep". Scary to see someone swim with those big sharks without a cage.

I probably shouldn't be watching the shark bite-cam show so close to bedtime.

Mike Rowe is soooo freakin' hawt!!!! He went Shirtless! while swimming with sharks on his show.
Oh, wait, not the Mike Rowe thread. Anyway, that shark repellent was amazing. They were there, and then they were gone!

Let us all take a moment of silence to mourn the end of Shark Week 2010. Until next summer, y'all.

I don't remember which show it was, but I saw something over the weekend that showed a clip of a photographer swimming with a megamouth shark. The voiceover said that he swam with the shark for half an hour. So very cool.
*sigh* Such a long time until Shark Week 2011.
