It was a lot less brutal than I expected it to be. Most of the episode was spent on Loch Ness. They did show how they made the sanoma video. They rented a Bigfoot costume and put a 6'7" actor in the costume and had him stomp around the bushes about 20 minutes outside their studio. They then read through some letters from Bigfoot enthusiests that had contacted them. They focused on two people in which they labled Asshole #1 and Asshole A. Asshole #1 offered them press and interviews in the SF chronicle (not sure who that would be). Asshole A which has his own website was labled a greedy bastard, due to the fact he wanted to broker interviews for them. All in all this show is not going to change anyone's point of view. The BFRO took some PR damage but nothing too bad, cause no names were mentioned. They kept pushing the point of actual biological evidence, and that photos and footprints were a silly waste of time.
