These wealthy people I was with basically laughed in my face and called the show fake, a fraud, and said it is like professional wrestling and completely scripted. One guy said "how can you not tell it is totally fake and based on conspiracy nonsense? They planted all of the evidence and when they dig it up it is because it was planted there by the script writers."

Not wanting to be confrontational, I just said "Well, fake or not, it is interesting that there has been a mystery surrounding that island for so long and they are doing so much digging and drilling to solve it" to which, the one guy said "it is all like professional wrestling, and just like ghost hunting, all scripted nonsense for gullible people who want to believe and nobody working on the show actually thinks there is a mystery."

Never had my balls busted so hard at a friendly event over a TV show I liked before... DAMN!
