You mean they don't sleep on the ground, use the mountain stream as a Beer cooler, and charge their Batteries with Solar Panels.

Bear Grylls is not quite a survivor

Bear is a joke. Now I have to wonder did he really drink his own piss, or was it lemonade? Did he squeeze water from dung, or was it ice cold Mountain Dew in a dark sponge? Did he jump off the cliff or was it his stunt double? Did he really go down the falls or was he lowered by cables?
Yeah it is fun to watch, I took everything he did with a grain of salt, now I need the whole box.

Thats how I knew that Angela Lansbury was just an actor too.
I think I see the problem. You're one of those Murder She Wrote fans.
Good luck to you, buddy. You're gonna need it.

The problem with Bear is that in the beginning of every show, he says, "Many people have died in this type of environment....Now I am going to show how to survive." or something to this effect. Then he jumps into quicksand. Hell, I even saw the manufactured rope on his raft when he was in the pacific.
What he is doing is catering to our desire of thrill seeking. This is ups the ante for people who are really doing an honest job with integrity. I could just see Les Stroud arguing with TV exec's about the need to "spice" it up and take unecessary risks.
I think Bear is entertaining and the show could be done correctly by not pretending to be real. He could go to the desert and say, "I would sleep here" and "I wouldn't jump in quick sand but if you do here is how to get out."
Many travel and cooking shows use this formula. Imagine, Emeril pretending to cut his finger and pretending that he can't find an ingredient.
Emeril can just say, "hey, if you can't find such and such, here is what you can substitute"
I don't know about you but I would love to see more honesty and integrity in America, on TV and OFF. There is no better way to demonstrate that by calling BS when we see it.

As long as no one tells me Jack Bauer isn't real I'll be fine.

EXACTLY. It'a all about how it's presented. Otherwise, I could give a rats...
xdshooter, if you haven't been banned already, I don't appreciate being called a turd. Poop, shit, poo, feces, turd all mean the same thing. Calling all of us who like Bear's show a piece of shit is revealing of your character. You are the one who needs to learn to apologise. You may not like MvW but personally attacking those of us who do does not belong here.
It is hard to think much of a sideshow freak masquerading as an educational program. Particularly when it is just stupid stunts that anyone with any experience knows is just that- sorry, I've got a major ethical issue with what he does when he's being billed as any kind of authority.

I don't have much love for shameless self-promoters.
Like some on here i also like to watch bear shows. Most of the time i learn what not to do watching him. Should i APOLOGISE for it???????????? nope i dont think so. Does that make me STUPID?????????????? I can have a few people say that im far from that.. From being on this Forum I see plenty of people that like his show and plenty that dont. None of them are Stupid, I would be happy to take an advice from any of you people....... Well i guess thats why im here in the first place.
Im sure it was said before, i would rather watch Bear then another super hero that can run 10 miles beat up 12 guys the size of Gorila then disarm an atomic bomb have his way with a hot woman and not even break a sweat. Oh yea have his hair look as if he just came out of hair salon. Nope i rather watch bear Atlist i can twist my nose at the next disgusting thing he would do or eat. Thank you very much

Stop putting words in my mouth. I didn't say anything about those who "LIKE" the show (your word), just about the morons who "defended" (my word) the show. I think everyone here has a grasp on entertainment vs reality. I was pointing out that those who take his "survival" dribble for gospel can't take criticism on the INTERNET. Go ahead and like his show. Or have you started some Bear Grylls fan club, and that's whats got your monkey all twisted into a creampie. AND yes, monkey and creampie may other meanings too. Figure them out as well as the banned word turd.
Flix has it figured out.
later
