Yes, I admit it. I watch Swamp People faithfully. I'm from Louisiana, whaddaya expect? :P Troy Landry is the funniest of them all, I think, and I miss him shouting, "Choot'em Elizabeth!" :lol: I was sad to learn this morning that one of the guys - Mitchell Guist - died yesterday. Although Mitchell and his brother, Glenn, aren't regulars on the show, but viewers who watch the show often enough are familiar with these two guys who live strictly off the land. I remember one episode I saw, they had to repair part of the house they shared so they went out into the swamp to find a downed cypress to haul back and cut new boards from.

Yes, it was sad.  Did they ever mention how he fell in the boat or why such an accident would have been fatal?  It seemed a little odd.  Not trying to put forward a CT.... just curious......

I read somewhere that a witness stated it looked like he was having a seizure. Clearly he wasn't alone, which is good. I'd hate to think that he was out alone and died out there without anyone knowing his whereabouts.

That is so sad.  Those two were some of my favorite characters on that show.  They lived a hard life though.  I wonder what the surviving brother will do now that he's alone?  :(

I guess we'll find out next season. The current season was filmed last September, during the normal gator hunting season (30 days), so they might address it when new filming is done this September. I would like to see a special full hour episode with nothing but segments featuring them.

I agree.
