Quote #4
Somehow he wound up straddling her back, like a tipsy cowboy on a bronco. (7.93)
Yes, this is one of the most foolish stunts Derek does in the Everglades. He rides on Alice the gator and she bucks him off violently and starts thrashing around. We don't blame her. It is only because of Mickey that he survives this one… Is this guy lucky or what?
Quote #5
While shooting a program in Australia…Derek had ignored the local wrangler's warnings and tried to tackle a wallaby…the result: five broken ribs, a torn Achilles tendon, sixteen stitches in his scalp and five days in the hospital. (8.22)
Raven remembers so many foolish things Derek does even though it seems like Derek forgets right away. We think Derek is not cut out to be working with animals, so why is his show so popular?
Quote #6
The director was the opposite of psyched. Surviving the alligator scare obviously had inflated Derek's already-bloated ego and filled his head with foolish notions. (9.74)
Derek is excited about his new idea to work with only wild animals to make the show more realistic, and Raven is not the only one who knows better. Why doesn't anyone say or do something about it?
