'Celebrity Watch Party': 'Hostile Planet' shows dying chicks, teary-eyed fans say 'we're stressed enough'

As fans watched the birds jump to their deaths, many were livid and wondered why were they being subjected to this in a show that promised to be fun

On most days, Fox's 'Celebrity Watch Party' is a fun-filled show that airs stars reacting to popular shows, but not today. This week, the celebrities and fans were moved to tears and some were even shocked as they went through an episode of 'Hostile Planet' — a docu-series that follows animals and how they have been trying to adapt to the changing climate worldwide. 

The segment viewers were shown was a mother goose trying to teach her chicks the art of flying. At first, it sounds like a good idea, but it gets serious and horrifying pretty quickly when those very chicks begin to plummet to their deaths. But that's the order of nature. The narrator informs that only 50 percent of chicks survive the fall. Meanwhile, fans are livid that they aired such terrifying clips from the show. Some even questioned the content and said this cannot be a part of a show that promises to air fun and entertaining content. 

"Why the actual f**k are you making us watch this s**t?! I specifically don't watch nature shows cause I hate seeing the circle of life on my TV! Shame on you for this segment of the program, you are truly a******s! Bet there’s crying kids everywhere right now! #CelebrityWatchParty," a fan commented, while another shared: "#CelebrityWatchParty After the chick diving off the cliff scene... I'll never watch this show again. That was F’ing horrifying." One more posted, "#celebritywatchparty WTF am I watching? I thought this was supposed to be a funny show. I tune in to watch baby birds plummeting to their deaths. No thank you. Jesus. I’m already stressed out enough." Another said, "We all just watched baby chicks jump to their deaths... I’m a little upset.. #CelebrityWatchParty." Another said, "#CelebrityWatchParty is horrible for forcing me to watch horrifying stuff @FOXTV."

Even though the frustrations are understandable, there are times one must come face-to-face with reality no matter how cruel and harsh it may be. Sure, it's heartbreaking to watch innocent animals fall to their deaths, but it's a common occurrence.
