Em Busca do Pé-Grande

Take the BFRO group and show for what it is, entertainment without fighting, screaming, swearing, sex or exploitation of children. I watch it never to have proof positive evidence thrown my way but to watch a tv show and ask "what if". I for one wish something, anything still existed on this earth of this magnitude or that there were yet uncharted territory. With our continued urbanization and advancement in technologies we've all lost our chance to imagine and dream.

If anything this show keeps alive some of the adventure we all crave and miss in this day in age. We should all be less human self-centric and more in tune with the world around us.

Keep up the fun for years tcome, I'll keep watching just in case you do find something.

I watch this show all the time, although I know the outcome is going to be like the dozens of Loch Ness Monster specials that have been done: Nothing will be found. At this point I watch not expecting them to find anything, but rather to see and hear the asinine things that will be said and done.

I find it comical that certain cast members are certain that they "know" many things about sasquatches, although they have never observed or verified any of them. Arrogant, self-assured Matt "knows" what sasquatches eat, how they track and kill game, that they're nocturnal, and that they use howls and knocks to communicate. On one show, he proudly announces that he was the one who "discovered" that they communicate with wood knocks - never mind that the creatures may not even exist. The fact that he attended law school in Ohio and chose his school in large part because of its proximity to alleged bigfoot sightings tells you where his focus is. Matt has been accused of using a reverse scientific method - taking his desired conclusion (that bigfoots exist), then cherry-picking evidence, no matter how thin, vague or inconclusive, to fit his desired outcome. Matt considers himself to be one of the foremost experts on these creatures, yet to call what he does "science" would be a considerable stretch.

Then there is hopeless, gullible Cliff. A one-time schoolteacher in California who quit his job and spent almost every night for the next year living in his car and searching for sasquatches, which he never found. I know that this will come as a shock, but he is divorced. Cliff frequently chimes in about bigfoot habits, which he knows even less about than Matt (who has allegedly at least seen a bigfoot). Then there is the inane chatter. Cliff, about a particular search area: "There are a lot of bears around here. There are some, but not many." I'm surprised that the editors didn't catch that he completely contradicted himself in two sentences. While talking about finding sasquatches, Cliff also injected the gem, "Water is the key." You can't get knowledge like this on just any program. When the team went to South Dakota, Cliff ran across a bison in the wild during a night investigation. He gushed for probably five minutes about how rare it is to see a bison in the wild. The next scene, an aerial view, showed probably 40-50 bison grazing on a hill. In one episode Cliff plays his guitar in the woods, which supposedly attracts any sasquatches looking for a concert or a dance hall.

Ranae, the trained scientist of the bunch, is the daughter of a professional daredevil (you can't make this up). She is the only non-Californian of the bunch, and the resident skeptic. While Cliff is ready to believe anybody, Ranae believes nobody. She comes up with implausible explanations for what people have allegedly seen - which the guys ridicule, because they have already decided that the people saw a sasquatch.

Bobo is the only member of the group who doesn't have apparent delusions about being a serious scientist. He is just out there for the fun of it. He is the only one of the bunch I would go out on an expedition with. He lost a bit of credibility with the statement that sasquatches speak Native American languages - which, if you smoked enough peyote, I'm sure you would hear them doing. Setting off fireworks in the woods was one of Bobo's brainchildren for attracting sasquatches. I'm sure animals came from all around to investigate the explosions and flashing lights. Right.

Whenever the team seems on the verge of finding anything, something invariably goes wrong - like four cameras in a remote watch location all failing at the same time (highly suspicious) or the DNA in supposed bigfoot hair being too degraded to identify what kind of animal it came from.

I am totally convinced that the crew is operating under false pretenses, and that they will never encounter a bigfoot (if they exist) doing what they are doing. Matt in particular is convinced that the creatures are nocturnal, yet a very large portion of alleged sightings have taken place in broad daylight. The crew also makes a great deal of noise in the woods, believing that they are stimulating curiosity in these creatures. If I wanted to drive away every animal within a five-mile radius, I would do exactly what they do: Go into the woods, yell and bang on trees. They don't seem to know even the most rudimentary things about animal behavior.

The shows have taken on an air of considerable predictability, which they will have to fix if the series is renewed. They follow a set pattern, with only a change in location each week.

To their credit, the cast has done a cute commercial for Wendy's in which they encounter a sasquatch coming out of the restaurant carrying a bag, and all they can talk about is the sandwich he is carrying.

I must say I was excited to see this show when I first heard about it. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed after watching the first episode. I tried stick with it but after the second episode I just watched it for a laugh.

The show is run by a clown called Matt Moneymaker (last name says everything) He claims to an expert on something he has zero proof of ever existing, he's been hunting them for 25yrs ........

Every episode is the same, they go to a wooded area, call a town meeting, get some stories from the locals, pick the stories they like best, meet the local person where they claim to have seen a bigfoot, get bobo to stand where the person saw it, predict a height and always confirm that what they saw was a bigfoot...... They then go to a random wooded area make as much noise as possible with their constant talking, howling and banging wood together. Very scientific. Any animal within 2 miles would have heard them coming and just moved in the other direction. This show is hilariously bad if anything.

This is another attempt at a show that has the potential to be good, but fails due to bending evidence to match preconceived ideas. Why do I say this? Here is an example: In the first show, one of the researchers does a "sasquatch call". They say, it sounds just like a squatch! In the next show, the "sasquatch call" sounds completely different. Not a little bit, but entirely 180 degrees different. The first call was deep sounding. The second sounded like a man with his privates in a bear trap! The comment after the second call, "Wow, that sounded exactly like a squatch!".

My biggest problem with this is, how can they say this is how a completely unproven creature sounds? Next, in every show they manage to find a "squatch" with the thermal cams. Now if this is true, why in the world would they not set out camera traps to try to get a conclusive photo??? Thermal cams are VERY expensive! You could buy a boat load of motion sensor game cams for the same price. I believe the reason they do not employ them is it would cause crew members to be photographed too often posing as a bigfoot.

This is another show going down the same road as UFO Hunters - Don't confuse me with the facts, I already know everything.

Waste of time.

This show is ridiculously bad. The absurd claim of "facts" that Matt Moneymaker and Bobo make are inane to say the least. Matt Moneymaker is especially annoying. Everything is a "Squash" to him. No matter how absurd the claim, how fake the so-called evidence (usually a sound miles away in the woods, a muddy shoe print, a broken twig, a far away and blurry photo or out of focus video), he utters his annoying phrase "There's a squash in these woods." Sadly, both him and Bobo claim they have been looking for Big Foot for the last 25 years. Yet, with never finding Big Foot, no evidence of Big Foot, no photos, no videos... Matt claims to be an "expert." He takes the credit for coming up with "wood knocking" because he claims Big Foot's go around wood knocking. He also takes credit for Big Foot Calls, because, you guessed it, he claims Big Foot's go around screeching in the woods. Even when videos are clearly people or hikers, he claims they are a Big Foot. And Matt and Bobo verbalize about how Big Foot try to drown deer, how they wrap their bodies in moss to sleep, and the reason no bones have ever been found is because Big Foot's "hide" the bodies. Matt and Bobo are so stupid they are an insult to stupid people.
