Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The review notes: "From trash compactors big enough to chew up a home to a unique NFL stadium, there's no end to the fun that Rogers -- and viewers -- will have checking out the latest and greatest big thing. ... This intriguing series is as big on fun as it is devoid of iffy content, and the charismatic and adventurous Rogers is a great host. Really Big Things offers some really great family entertainment for parents and their kids, especially boys -- who are likely to be most awed by the array of massive vehicles."  The article provides 196 words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "Really Big Things provides a rambling road tour of massive man-made wonders located all over the world. Hosted by former American Idol hopeful Matt Rogers, the six-part series is short on concept but long on travel budget. In the first show alone, the energetic Rogers journeys down south to examine the sprawling concrete fixture designed to prevent bank erosion along the mighty Mississippi River; then it's off to Sweden to witness a huge machine called the "Rammer Hammer" break iron ore. ... Really Big Things is undeniably juvenile in tone, but it's still good fun."  The article provides 171 words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "... And sometimes it's necessary if you want to watch other things that clash. Like season two of Really Big Things on Discovery (Tuesdays at 9pm). It's really guy stuff, and bigger is better. Size really does count, and all that. In the first episode, host Matt Rogers helped pitch the massive big top for Cirque du Soleil, which was full of interesting factoids and statistics. Most of the inserts are, and answer all the questions you might have about how big, how wide, how deep or how high.  There have been man-made white-water rapids which are used for fun and Olympic training, and an impressive military hovercraft. Episode two was my favourite so far, beginning with the dancing fountains at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. Usually I don't like knowing how these pretty things work because it steals away something of the magic, but going underwater and into the "bat cave" where everything is programmed and maintained was jolly interesting. The window factory and the thing that munches up trees and spits out wood chips - not so much. Like I said: guy stuff." Less significant coverage:  The article notes: "Waiting for "the big one"? Gigantic, humongous, mammoth items are on display in "Really Big Things." Host Matt Rogers shows viewers the super-size versions of machines, structures and other massive man-made marvels." <li> The article notes: "The show, "Really Big Things," takes a close look at how the aquarium moved whale sharks Yushan and Taroko this summer. ... Viewers will follow the host, Matt Rogers, as the aquarium prepares for the whale sharks' arrival. The episode also includes footage from Taiwan and the air transport to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport."</li> <li> The article notes: "In this new technology and invention series, Matt Rogers travels the globe to prove that, in some cases, size does matter, starting with the sinking unit that places concrete mattresses along the banks of the Mississippi River to help prevent bank erosion; the rammer hammer used to break ore in the Arctic Circle, and the world's largest paper mill."</li> </ol></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Really Big Things to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep per citations listed by Cunard. Enough to pass WP:GNG at the very least. Donald D23   talk to me  12:20, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
