Oh, well.

6. if you are into different cultures, travel, food etc

he really gets into the local culture. it's not one of those that focus on the best luxury hotels and restaurants and other tourist trap type places.

he goes where the locals go. he usually spends time with some local. he tries street foods, local food places, goes to people's homes where they cook, etc. you learn some history also.

5. TLC is trying for the Freak Show championship.

It's horrible what they are doing with their programming but I guess if it sells then it's OK...
