I'm such an a-hole. I watched five minutes of it and I totally hate it. Instead I'm watching bear grylls survive in the wilderness. I saw him bite right into a liver and stuff an entire ox eyeball into his mouth.

norris would kick the shizzle out of bear grylls
grylls is a fake
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UpSlpvb1is
| Quote: | The phony bear faked it in Kilauea Volcano also. He taped most of the show a few hundred feet from the highway. He didn't even hike the easy three miles from the landing site to the final destination. Most of the scenes in the show don't exist in the area he was supposed to be in: avocado trees, lava tube, tropical forest, fissures, and landing site are all in different parts of the island and separated by up to 50 miles. I have hiked this area hundreds of times. I can understand how people who have not been to the area may think it's legitimate, but I was surprised how easy it was to dupe the Discovery Channel. It would be suicidal to follow the foolish advice given by this show.
In this clip, the phony bear is supposed to be next to the ocean and is trying to cross these fissures to get there. He is, in fact, at the SW Rift Zone at the 4000 foot summit of Kilauea about 50 highway miles away from his very next scene next to the ocean. These fissures are unique to a small area on the summit and are a very popular tourist viewing area. They are only a few hundred feet long and easy to go around. Only the phony bear seems to have trouble crossing them. Throughout the episode, he makes up silly solutions to problems which don't exist. The fissures are located next to the parking area on the Crater Rim Drive shown on the clip.
Update: The original concept was that Bear Grylls would be dropped into remote areas and make his way to civilization with no help. The Discovery Channel removed this episode and several others from circulation after they were shown to be fake. Other early episodes were edited to remove fake scenes and disclose that he received help from the crew. Disclaimers on recent episodes disclose that scenes are staged. |

Les Stroud (Survivorman) is the definition of man. Seven days in the wild, no camera crew, all filming done by himself.

With that christmas movie, I did flip back and forth and the one funny thing to me was seeing that leg lamp because hallmark made an ornament out of that thing and I was like, what the "h"? So to see it was pretty funny.
Les Stroud is a boring guy and I'd prefer not to witness his failures on TV. He is roughing it, but I'd prefer to watch bear. I don't really care that some of bear's stuff is staged (which was revealed over a year ago) because I'm never going to try and kill a croc or catch a snorting catfish using only my "bear" (haha) hand as bait anyway. It's pure entertainment for me, straight up. Bear is also hot, which is a huge plus.
Russian, I'm sorry our friendship had to end this way.

QFT... except for the Bear is hot part 
Les is like... I'm going to sit here and wait until something happens... nothing happens, so I'm going to sit over there and wait some more... well it's time to go now and nothing has happened.

Don't talk that way about Bear. He will come to your house and break your spinal cord with his teeth, then jump into a frozen pond and steal your wakeskate
