Buckwild: Who Is Shain Gandee’s Friend Blue Foot From Buckwild Episode One?
January 4, 2013 by Hollywoodite
Buckwild season one episode one had its premiere last night on MTV and it remains to be seen with the forthcoming release of the ratings whether or not it will be a ratings success.
In short though, to avoid spoilers, let’s just say it was clearly coached and staged in places as alleged by several locals who were witness to the filming. But it was entertaining and the obvious standouts, in terms of who is proving popular on this site, include Salwa Amin, who went shirtless within minutes of her debut when she took a bet to expose her chest to the male housemates, and Shain Gandee who seems the most genuine and likable. Not far behind that are Cara Parrish and Tyler Boulet who took up a lot of screen time as the “pretty couple” in the first episode.
Another person introduced some time into the show is 21-year-old Gandee’s friend, “Blue Foot.” Who, like Gandee, comes from Sissonville, West Virginia which is also the locale of the show.
Blue Foot is on Twitter as @burford13 where his bio says: “21yrs young they call me #bluefoot i f**k s**t up they film it… Follow me and keep up with my crazy s**t that the cameras dont catch.” So the friends are the same age in addition to being from the same town. Buckwild’s Blue Foot or “Bluefoot” as he goes by on social media (but “Blue Foot” on the show) is also on Instagram and on Facebook “with my crazy s**t that the cameras dont catch” where he and the rest of the cast have been soliciting public appearances for weeks now. He also appears to have an empty YouTube page and private MySpace account.
Blue Foot’s social media includes photos, some of which are below, and some perspective on how the cast saw themselves before the premiere. Similar to how Buckwild’s Katie Saria wrote on Twitter 24 hours ahead of the premiere: “I’m going to do a bunch of normal things today in case that gets hard to do after tomorrow,” Blue Foot portends a change in the behaviour of those around him. On December 4, he wrote: “Can’t believe in high school I used to go around taking everybody’s papers signing my name all the way across it and sayin keep that ill be famous… Damn who woulda thought I was tellin the truth.” And on December 10, he wrote: “All the ppl who are against the show…. So called friends, ill remember the shit you said about me and my friends when it does air and all the sudden you wanna hang out again or party it’ll be as simple of a reply as this I don’t know you, who are you?”
Here are the photos. Note: in one of the photos where Blue Foot is in his vehicle wearing a crash helmet, he’s sitting next to someone who looks a lot like Buckwild’s Joey Mulchy who’s holding a beer with a yellow pill on his tongue.
