Filed under: News and tagged: ,

People is reporting that a source has confirmed that Sarah Palin’s Alaskan reality show with Mark Burnett is headed to the Discovery Channel. The former governor of Alaska has reportedly picked up $1 million per episode. As previously reported by EW, which broke the news that Palin was doing a show earlier this month, the project will be a travelogue-type documentary in which Palin gives viewers an intimate look at her home state.

    I’m all for the woman having a show, but on Discovery Channel? Bad fit, I think.

    • The Original Nshi

      Why are they letting this turncoat deserter back into their state???

      • jeff

        Is this the original Nshi, cause you’re the original idiot!

    • jeff

      If it were a democrat it would have been on animal planet

      • NOPE

        FAIL!!

    • amj

      Agreed. My first reaction too…Discovery? Really?

  • Nerwen Aldarion

    I’m a fan of hers but this is terrible, it makes her look like a sellout which is just awful.

    • John

      She is a sellout (resigned as governor to make money elsewhere). But good for her making money off her limited intelligence and off the gullibality of the morons that supported her run for the vice-presidency.

      • jeff

        I like eating Twizzlers in the sweet sweet moonlight.

    • jkm

      It’s all about the $$$$$$.

    • innerjuju

      Thanks for the best laugh I’ve had all day. “makes her look like a sellout”???? This, a woman who quit her job so she could grab every lucrative offer that came her way? And you think THIS makes her look like a sellout??? Stop. Please. My sides hurt.

    • Louise

      This “woman” would appear at the opening of an envelope if you paid her. Next she will be stripping on MILF.

  • ba’al

    She nor Discovery will not have me as a viewer. Shame on Discovery

        Have to admit that he is easy on the eyes in Stargate-parellels? hmmmm

    • jeff

      Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish, now you can turn to Lifetime where you belong.

      • jeff

        I wish I still had cable so I could watch this show. With the economy as bad as it is I had to cut it out along with many other luxuries. Now I’m struggling to keep my home from going into foreclosure.

      • jeff

        Sorry, what I also meant to say is I apologize for my childish and inane comments all throughout this post. I guess the stress is getting to me.

      • the real jeff

        Actually I own 2 businesses and own property in 3 states. Life is great!

        I also don’t mooch off the government, I make my own way through life for me and my family and friends. I also employ people so they can support their families.

        All you dimocratic slackers could do the same if you get off your lazy left wing arses instead of continually whining and crying and feeling sorry for yourselves.

        Dig on it jerk off!

      • jeff

        GO AWAY TROLL!!!!!!!!!!

      • The Really Real Jeff

        Actually I don’t know much but what they tell me on Fox News, heh heh, and Sarah is a By-God American hero who happens to love money like any good American would. Oath of office, shmoath of office!

    • Julie

      I agree. No more Discovery anything for me or anyone else I know until they drop this. $1 million per episode for THIS?? Have they nothing more worthwhile to support than Sarah Palin’s greed?

  • meg

    I’m 100% with you ba’al !

  • none

    man shes pathetic. This looks a tv show made from a brochure. just give up and quit politics

  • Sadie

    What a laugh? In case she hasn’t noticed, Sarah Palin does not have an Alaska anymore. The folks up here are completely through with Miss Quitty-Pants.

    • ks

      Yea Sadie! I am so tired of her, now to do a show about Alaska! How would she know?? she used us for what ever she could get us for.
      Now she is not only aa quitter but a tax evader.

    • haha

      I am not from Alaska but that’s what I thought imediately…how terrible of her to do to Alaska and its citizens. Quit her job serving her state and then profit off of it. Terrible and shameless!

  • Billy

    If people (and companies like Discovery) would just ignore her, she’d go away. She’s like a roach…impossible to run off with any success.

    • jeff

      You’re obviously a poor democrat, lives with roaches in filth and dirt! Enjoy being poor!

      • sara

        Jeff – you sound exactly like a Palin supporter all right. Hateful and ignorant.

      • eman ruoy

        Jeff sure seems to know a lot about roaches, filth and dirt.

      • the real jeff

        eman ruoy -dumbarse! Follow the conversation jerk off! It was Billy living with the roaches.

        I understand you’re not to bright, being a dimocrat and all.

        Why don’t you go back to school and this time pay attention!

      • jeff

        I didn’t post this ^

      • jeff

        “the real jeff” seems like a real live nut-kabob!!!!!

      • the real jeff

        And you sound like a young, stupid, uneducated little b*tch, sucker.

      • @ the real jeff

        Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

      • Louise

        Skank

      • elisabeth

        You’re a real erudite , articulate person arent you.How dare you make stupid generalities about democrats.
        My goodness–you sound almost as ignorant as , uh, Sarah Palin–former govenor of my state–and the worst governor we ever had.

  • Brian

    Billy, from your mouth to God’s ear. I feel though that Ms Palin will never leave the staged unless she is dragged of kicking and screaming.

  • James

    This show is devoid of politics which is why discovery picked it up. Yet because Palin’s name is attached to it; it brings HUGE buzz that Discovery could only dream about. But seriously, all its going to be is video footage of mountains and snow and rivers and Inuits and moose…not Sarah Palin vs. Obama part 34

    • James

      Let me just clarify that I’m not a fan of Palin, but everything has to be judged accurately so this time it doesn’t bother me. If Spitzer’s hooker can write an advice column in the NY Post and all of Tiger’s whores are out there trying to make a buck, why can’t Palin make that bread in the best way she knows how? By getting a film crew to shoot her backyard! lol

    • Ryan Okinake

      Um, “Sarah Palin vs. Obama part 34″? As far as I know, Obama has never lowered himself to even mention her name. The mud has only been slung one way. If she ever went head-to-head with Obama, her head would explode.

    • Are you for Real?

      If that’s so, then why pay her $1 million per episode? Wouldn’t Discovery be better off with spending it on even better cameras or donating it to protecting an area that they want us to preserve? Seems a decision that is out of character for what I always imagined Discovery channel to have. Too bad, I am a huge Discovery fan. Love that they want to show Alaska but this is a ridiculous bad judgement call. Discovery shouldn’t be about politics! And you can say that it’s not but they why hire Sarah? Couldn’t they get someone else famous from there. What about Jewel?

  • darclyte

    Do not want.

  • Maria

    Shame on the Discovery Channel for paying this vile woman a million dollars an ep for this show. I blame her for the civil war that is going on right now, she started all the trash talk and hate speech.

    My family and I won’t be watching the Discovery Channel any longer. If I could delete it from my cable listings I would.

  • Sharlin

    That is a shame. I loved the Discovery Channel. Too bad, I won;t watch it ever again now because of this.

    • Are you for Real?

      Now that seems a little extreme.

    • elisabeth

      actually they need to film her in front of the pile of the 800+ dead wolf carcasses she so proudly eradicated.Disqusting lady.Mybe they need to chase her for 10 miles while filming across the frozen tundra and we’ll see how tired SHE gets

  • Erin

    Are we going to see Russia from her house?

    • Are you for Real?

      Now that I might tune in for…LOL

    • Louise

      hahaahahahah what a loser she is.

  • Pisces228

    If I were an Alaska citizen, I wouldn’t be so quick to bash her. This show will focus on the beauty and unique culture of Alaska, which will likely bring valuable tourist dollars to your state. Not everything has to be political, people.

    • Ryan Okinake

      Alaskans get a fat check from the state every year from oil revenue. I think everyone with an ounce of a brain has an obligation to bash Sarah Palin. The woman is not qualified to bag groceries at Wal-Mart. I would never visit a state where the people are so clearly a bunch of chillbilly morons.

      • ks

        there in lies the problem-WE ARE NOT LIKE SARAH. Some “big” check, gas prices at 4 dollars and a high cost of living.

      • Louise

        Not to mention its the drug capital of America

      • AK Two Cents

        Excuse me, moron. Speak for yourself. If you’ve never been here, you don’t know jack about us or our state. Actually, don’t come up. You would pollute the beauty.

    • Polar Bear

      We get plenty of tourism without that revolting valley girl snipe promoting it, thank you! This is going to bite her in the butt.

    • elisabeth

      well i am a citizen of Alaska, and this far all this horrible lady has done is embarrass and exploit us.She does NOT , in ANY way , shape or form represent what Alaska is.She needs to go away , FOREVER

  • Ryan Okinake

    She’s for killing every animal there and drilling in every last square mile. She cares about the natural beauty of Alaska about as much as Jessie James cares about fidelity.

    • Gleefan

      lol!
