Revision #1 (Last edited: 17/01/2010 @ 22:06)
Just found a drama/reality series about a group of people who go on a snowboard season, the last 3 episodes are currently on iPlayer.

It's very cheesy, and the storyline isn't all about snowboarding, but maybe some of you might like it.

I gave it a go and didn't get 5mins in before getting deeply irritated by the main characters!

+1 VERY annoying!!!

I've only seen about 10 mins, and thats all i could hack.
So is it a drama or actually following the season of real people? TBH don't really care so dunno why i'm asking.

To be fair, if you rock up in Val d'Isere with a camera crew, the place is rammed with the usual PS Henry and Henryetta types aching for their 15 mins. Pretty lazy programming really.

Though lets face it the BBC were hardly going to stay in Bourg, and film the real seasonnaires, in their stinky flat with the Hawaiian scene on the bedroom wall, worrying about how to pay for their next crate of Blonde from Super U. Even though these guys are our next gen of Whitelines cover boys.

A friend of a friend is in it! I watched one episode for about 5mins and had to stop, I could feel my IQ dropping.

I did notice one of the characters using a 'True' Board though.


.............when I say using, he was carrying.

Yes, it was quite exciting to find a daytime programme dedicated to snow-life....and then they go and ruin it all by solely focussing on people I want to drown in a bag full of bricks. Shame.

Bit of tweaking though...
Bonk!!!!!!!!!

Well, to indulge you anyways!
It's a scripted and dramatized show.

The fly on the wall, documentary style camera is there to make it look as though it's real, as well as the somewhat awkward acting the characters do. As has already been said, it's basically a British version of MTV's 'The Hills' which is the same style, but about a girl working for Vogue Magazine.... don't watch it, it's terrible.

I thought I'd watch the first episode of 'The Season' after seeing it advertised once. I had to stop! All I saw was some quick cutaways to imply two girls had skiied to a cafe, where they proceeded to moan about a boy for about ten minutes. Then it cut to a guy who was supposed to be the best Snowboarder in the resort, and he was a total douchebag, where he and his friends just discussed their conquests and didn't do any snowboarding!

TERRIBLE!
