norseman Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I feel like Dr. Mayor might crack this thing wide open. She is a sample taking phenom. Hair, Scat and eDNA from a possible foot cast. They are back in California. Ronnie isn’t there in this episode or maybe the season? And they have a new member who is ex CIA and is doing all the local witness interviews. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkEyes Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I understand tv is tv. My sister in law works on a reality tv show. I hear about it all the time. But I do believe this is one of the better shows regarding the subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes it’s a reality TV show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalWitness Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 What came of the chimp dna in kentucky? nothing? no scientists took it seriously enough to go out into the field. if you want to see what she accomplishes, just be sure to tune in next week when they for sure will reveal their cards!

NorCalWitness Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 It's hard for me to take the show very seriously when Bryce Johnson of Willow Creek fame is one of the experts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a scientist and she is in the field. Thats how she found Chimp DNA in the first place. Right now she is in your state taking a bunch more DNA samples. You can laugh all you like? If a reality TV show allows a real scientist to be in the field applying science to the myth of Bigfoot? 🤷♂️ What do we have to lose? I would prefer this to Bobo dressing up as a woman to attract Bigfoot. Or howling into the night. Or wood knocking. Or blurry photos. Dr. Mireya Mayor is a real primatologist, who has discovered real primates, and she has the field experience to get to the bottom of this IF anyone can. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of work did the esteemed paper title doctor Mayor do in DNA? She collected samples? Did she test them? Does she just have to take someones word for what she collected? I thought you said we need a body, but now DNA is good enough? I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you take a field biologist's word on DNA? I think you just have a crush on the cheerleader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sent the DNA off to a lab. You would know this IF…. Absolutely she is much much better looking than Bobo dressed in drag. Guilty. Yes. It’s a reality TV show. Most of it has very little relevance except for Mayor’s work. Episode 2 she had a microscope at base camp and was identifying hairs from her samples. That way she doesn't send in deer hair (known species) for sampling. Smart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xspider1 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Thx, Norse. I haven’t watched that show much, but I’m planning to check it out again. So far my hypothesis is that Dr. Mayor is probably qualified to collect Sasquatch DNA (and, in my opinion, definitely cuter than Bobo.) 🤷♂️ lol!

xspider1 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) ^ Yep! And, in many ways, I’d think it should be easier to spot a Sasquatch than to spot one of those cute little suckers! Edited August 24 by xspider1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know that the Lemur isn’t trying to rip your face off if you get close….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
