Bear Grylls

Recommended Posts

This guy is such a freaking fake. The scene last night where he lands in the snow, if you DVR'd it and slow it down at the landing scene, he is holding onto this canopy and lines when he "lands" and then throws himself down the hill. My wife was the one who caught that one. I think a lot of his eating nasty stuff is one for shock value on TV. Sorry, Survivor Man is better. Bear must have just gone on the singles market and has to go out and get a show to try to get the ladies again. Just my 2 cents.

OMG - he did do that...I saw a preview and they led you to believe he was going to, but I thought when I actually saw the show it would be something entirely different. EWWWWW!

There is no doubt that some of the scenes in the programme are for dramatic effect. but any man that has climbed Everest (and at such a young age) has to be extemely tough and motivated.. he also passed selction at an extremely young age.

i hear in the last episode he eats a Delta guy!!!;)

Also when he exits the helicopter he is wearing a Javalin, when he "lands" he is wearing a pilots bail out rig.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

There's no doubt he's a badass. Certainly a much bigger badass than me, but his show is still contrived. And that, for me and for others, is enough not to like it, no matter how big of a badass he is otherwise.



He obviously knows his stuff, but I have to agree with you the UK Chanel 4 show "Bear Grylls Born Survivor" is very contrived, and as such lack credibility with me.

The first time I saw the show, I actually rang up friend of mine who was the tech advisor for the Mumm Champagne stunt, supplied him with the RNRM canopies used in BS and is a close friend of Bear's to see if it was supposed to be so laughable.

Harry Hill ripped into him on "TV Burp" on Sat night and it was hillarious.
