After many people were eagerly expecting for the Discovery special about a man being eaten alive by an anaconda, social media has become the place where all mockery can be found surrounding the special, after the adventurer failed to end up in the belly of a giant snake.

It's not every day that any network - even coming from cable or even subscription television - makes a promise to show a man eaten alive by an anaconda, but that's exactly what Discovery Channel did with last Sunday's special, showing adventurer Paul Rosolie facing death through the embrace of an anaconda.

However, as Entertainment Weekly points out, the fact that he was ultimately not eaten alive by an anaconda made some viewers angry, even considering the fact that it would have meant a man meeting a brutal death from an anaconda, one of nature's most unstoppable killing machines and among the biggest snakes in the world.

In "Eaten Alive," an anaconda attacks Rosolie, wraps its large body around his body and begins to crush him - but, ultimately, he calls up his team so they'll get the large reptile off of him, right when he was starting to feel his limbs numbing down.

However, for Twitter users that have gone to the social network to make comments about how the show ended up being like, the fact that the protagonist ends up alive at the end of the special is completely wrong.

"Calling it #EatenAlive is like having a show on the Food Network about cooking a turkey and all they do after 2 hours is preheat the oven," tweeted one user, by the name of @ReaganKingIsles.

According to The Telegraph, the entire move by the Discovery Channel adventurer was to point out to audiences what was going on in the Amazon rainforest and how bad things were getting in its destruction - so he just decided to go as far as almost being eaten alive by an anaconda!

In any case, at least according to Variety, the special where a man is eaten alive by an anaconda was a fairly big disappointment - even considering he wasn't eaten at all.
