Man Vs. Wild – Premieres tonight!
I have to admit that I’m kind of a junkie for all those survival shows on tv. I know reality tv sucks, but hey, its better than watching the Real World marathons. The best survival show out there is by far, Man Vs. Wild with Bear Grylls. Talk about the real deal, Bear Grylls is hardcore mountain, jungle, artic man.
The new season of Man Vs. Wild starts tonight.
Here’s the inside scoop on tonight’s episode:
EVERGLADES
(World Premiere Friday, June 15, 9 PM ET/PT)
This premiere episode finds host Bear Grylls stranded in the swamps of the Florida Everglades, where each year at least 60 tourists need to be rescued. With more than a million alligators, thousands of snakes and even black bears roaming these waterlogged lands, the area has more than its share of hazards. Bear demonstrates how to keep alligators at bay, deal with vicious razor-sharp grass and find stomach-churning food that will keep you alive if you find yourself stranded in this beautiful but dangerous destination.
To learn more about the show, Bear, or some simple survival techniques, check out the website here.

It just seems so ridiculous though; what about the camera and sound crew (and probably script writer) that are out there with him, filming the same scene 10 times so they can get a shot that looks scary enough? I can’t watch a show like that without picturing them going “Cut!” and heading off to their nice hotel for a hot shower and a bottle of wine. It’s just all so bogus.

SIMPLY THE NAME BEAR.
Bear, how was “work” today?
Oh, Bear, I love you.
Hey, Bear want to go to dinner and a play?
Bear, how is your salmon?
Bear, you need a shower and a shave.
Don’t be a Bear, Bear wait, umm…
Bear, your brother Teddy called wanted to know if you and that raggedy Ann and her light-in-the-loafers friend Andy wanted to go to the Tractor Pull tonight? Or is the Bear going to start an early hibernation in a bottle of Guinness?
[In Federal Court] Have you reached a verdict? Yes we have your honor. With regard to the first of four felony charges, the people of the great state of Alaska find Bear Grylls GUILTY of cruelty against Animals and Humanity! As for the second felony charge, we find Mr. and Mrs. Grylls, the defendant’s parents, guilty of naming a healthy child Bear…

I gona’ climb Everest, star in a deodorant TV commercial, travel across the North Atlantic Arctic in a small vinyl boat and I gona’ be awarded an “HONORARY” commission in the Roooyal Navy, [His asthma begins to kick in as he starts to hyperventilate] then be the star in a Discovery series entitled, Man vs. Wild! You’ll, [coughs] see!… [He digs in his front pocket for his inhaler.]
Bully Billy Winters: [Winds up] Discover this GAY…len… Grylls! SSSSMACK!!!!
Gaylen Grylls: [Falls and is crouched over in the sand holding his now excruciatingly painful arm. Tears roll down and off his nose to the sand as he mumbles] You’ll see, you’ll… see… [He holds his inhaler to his mouth – PUFF] …You’ll see…
[Eleven years later in the English parliament House of commons name-changing wing.]

Don’t cheeses-off the Bear! Don’t do it! He will kill you on a GLASSier! Man vs. Wild Bear Grylls – What a joke! He fakes holding he camera during many of his close-ups; it’s SO obvious his “camera crew” is holding it. His English is absolutely HORRIBLE. The “camera crew” try’s to convey a sense of urgency by violently shaking the camera when the bear seems to be in a desperate situation only to display a desperate need to go back to cinematography school. Bear eats bugs, grubs, raw eyeballs, fish, etc. simply for shock value. There is BAREly any real survival training given during the episodes. It’s as nonproductive as watching an intestine, testicle, cow placenta eating reality-show on FOX.
With regard to the Copper Canyon episode – Baby Bare got “scared” by Papa Bare. I thought it would perhaps be ironic if Papa Bare ate Baby Bare! (By the bye, where did his “film crew” stay that night? I’ll bet there was a Hilton over the hill! LOL!)
This program is obviously not geared for an age demographic of 22 – 95! It’s an utter waste of time – don’t even bother watching this ridiculous program. If you want to view a more realistic survival show, go to the Science Channel and TiVo ® Les Stroud as Survivor Man!
Zeusest!
