Shark Week viewers were met with major disappointment on Sunday night when they tuned in to see Michael Phelps race a real-live Great White Shark–but instead were met with a CGI version of the creature. Here are some of the best tweets from Shark Week fans who were less than entertained. Here they are:

  1. Great White Shark top speed: 25 mph. Michael Phelps top speed: 6 mph. Saved you an hour.
  2. SMH. Michael Phelps isn’t actually racing a shark. He’s just racing a simulation of a shark. Biggest scam of 2017.
  3. “Obviously, we cannot put a great white shark in one lane and Michael Phelps in the other.”
  4. Turns out “Michael Phelps races a shark” was really just “Michael Phelps swims alone and then compares his time to a shark’s time.”
  5. So you mean to tell me Michael Phelps didn’t even race a real shark? It was just a simulation. I’m mad. More like Shark WEAK!
  6. I didn’t think Michael Phelps would actually race the shark, but I’m kind of disappointed he’s not going to race the shark.
  7. Michael Phelps is racing a CGI shark. The world is yet again a meme.
  8. Sign of the apocalypse, and confirmation of the idiocy of America…..Phelps vs Shark.
  9. I’m disappointed because I thought Phelps was racing an actual shark.
  10. I was really hoping Phelps would be in the same water as the shark.
