yul kwon vs. the sharks

It's Shark Week! Everybody loves Shark Week. And Survivor: Cook Islands winner Yul Kwon is getting in on the action. Because he is a badass, dangerous dude. Tonight, he co-hosts the show How Not To Become Shark Bait on the Discovery Channel. Here's the description from the Discovery Channel website:
HOW NOT TO BECOME SHARK BAIT
Premiering Tuesday, July 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Sharks may have a bad reputation, but you actually have a very slim chance of being attacked by one. A thrill-seeking team with a purpose -- escapologist Jonathan Goodwin, former lawyer turned Survivor: Cook Islands winner and adrenaline junkie Yul Kwon, marine biologist Jeremiah Sullivan and scientist Dr. Marty Jopson -- travel to the Bahamas to test shark attraction theories on lemon, tiger and Caribbean reef sharks, focusing on the sensory perception of sharks including colors, vibrations, smells and other attractors. In the process, viewers learn strategies for staying safe when in the water.
Yul is currently in Korea, and writes this in an email about the program: "I won't be able watch it until I get home next week, so please don't ruin the ending for me (if I get devoured, I'll be bummed)." Indeed, we'd all be bummed. The show airs tonight at 10:00pm ET/PT.
