Man vs. Wild marathon

I guess for entertainment value, it's there.
Still good clean fun to watch though.

Don't know if I'd agree with that, squeezing water from dung, eating carrion? Not too "clean" IMHO.
 
Wow, I can't believe he drank blood strait out of the neck of a deer. I have to admit that was pretty hardcore...
 
i used to diss bear....but he's only human and he does have an AWESOME job....did anyone see when he "flew" to the top of everest? pretty ballsy.

like most of the sentiment here i dont watch his show to learn...just entertainment. if i saw him in a pub id buy him a beer.

.....the family TV is on the Ellen deGeneres show.... :mad:
 
The only thing that REALLY pisses me off with Bear's show is that it's too apparent that a lot of the "action sequences" are edited. Yesterday night I saw this Alaska ep (he made a raft out of oil drums) and the last part, where he got "rescued" by the trawler was just ridiculous - although I do think my 3yo boy might have thought it was for real :rolleyes:.

In the middle of his flight from land, while on the raft and trying to get to "open sea", his paddle changed, the time of day changed, and the water turned from choppy to very smooth after he jumped on the iceberg :thumbdn:.

Not taking that into consideration I think it's nice amusement.

I like the new Man VS Wild slogan.

Bear Grylls doesn't show you how to STAY alive ... he shows you how to BE alive.

They keep playing that on every commercial break it seems.

I just keep thinking "he sure doesn't show me how to stay alive"

Still good clean fun to watch though.

As an aside, I love your avatar. Reminds me of something.:D
 
I would share a camp fire with Bear, and probably have a great time. I bet he could teach us a thing or two, but that is when the camera isn't rolling and he is not doing idiotic things for a tv show.
I heard an interesting commercial on the radio for his show on the way home tonight. It said "Watch Bear Grylls tonight at 9pm eastern. But this time he isn't teaching us how to survive, he is teaching us how to be alive"

Maybe he is admitting his show is more just for fun than a serious survival series. We will see...

It's almost Nine ;)


Edit, it appears someone else brought up the commercial allready, oops:o
 
I get tired of seeing Bear's blurred out front and backsides and of seeing him taking a leak and of eating carrion for no good reason, but...

All in all, I like his enthusiasm and think the show presents a few ideas now and then.
 
He's awesome; He just speared a dead fish with a birds beak! Thats good tv right there!! :D

Yeah, I know he was SAS.

He was in the RESERVES (weekend warrior) and didn't complete training. He got--surprise--HURT and never came back.

He shows less skills than the average 7th grad boy scout. He isn't special ops anything other than a wannabe. That's why the real special ops troops and real survival experts like Dr. Ron Hood (survival.com) and Ray Mears (who teaches SAS instructors) think nothing of this asshat.
 
Lets face it. As stupid as Man vs. Wild is, its still better than almost everything else on tv.
 
It was funny ,just when he jumped down into the cave, he left his torch up on the rim & it was magically tossed down to him !!!:D
