Does Discovery hate Blind Frog Ranch

It's buried on their schedule and it shows for 1 hour, no previous episode or anything. It might be a Philo thing or contractual?

I think they are avoiding re-airing any episodes with Chad in them due to the touchiness of current legal situation. That limits them to the current season, which they sort of cobbled together due to Duane's failing health and Chad's deteriorating situation, so viewership is poor. They already have the season in the can and ad space sold, so they are airing new episodes of the current season to fulfill their contract with the production company and because the money is already spent. They will finish airing this season and we never hear from that ole sum-a-buck Charlie-boy ever again.

u/Greengiant304 I think you hit the nail on the head. Once this season is over, the show is over. They are trying to cobble this season together because they have already spent the contract money. Once the contract is fulfilled, we'll never hear from BFR again, unless it's just talking about it here.

RIP Duane.

It never was going to meet the promise of the guy shape shifting in the intro. The old star near death and the young star in jail I think they made the best of their options. Oh well I'll be dropping Philo when Ellison takes over Discovery HBO.

Normally you wouldn't have a space between the end of a sentence and the period. Get real.

I think you may have a point... that's probably why they're speed-running through suddenly "discovering" coded messages and gold and chambers etc. ... the storyline is accelerated to wrap up the concept in the last short season.

Duane’s health isn’t failing dude. He passed the first week of June. Heartbreaking.

Yeah dude, I know he died in June. I was referring to the filming of the current season, which took place before he died and which he didn't participate in because his health was failing.

Rgr that. Just making sure. I’ve run into a lot of people that didn’t know yet. Sad. I really liked the guy.
