Survivor Man - New Episode Idea!!
Discussion
EDITED BECAUSE I JUST REALIZED BEAR IS ON MAN VS WILD. I MEAN THE TITLE TO SAY MAN VS WILD.
Hey, I assume you have all seen the show Survivor Man, with Bear Grylls? Do you get the show The Soup as well? (which IMO is the funniest show on TV). Well, they were making fun of Bear because he was eating berries and apple cores previously digested and shat out from a bear's arse FFS!!! (how much of this is actually real do you think?)
Anyhow, it got me thinking of a new challenge and episode for Bear because it seems this man can be left in just about any terrain and survive. I mean the man takes no second guessing when jumping into quick sand, or swamp holes, or even the freezing waters of Alaska with sharks in the area FFS! How about we give Bear the ultimate test and send this SOB to the Moon!! See how well he does there?

Sorry to piss on your chips french fries but... f'rinstance "In one episode filmed in California's Sierra Nevada mountains he was shown biting off the head of a snake for breakfast and boasting that he was living on 'just a water bottle, a cup and a flint for making fire'.
Viewers were not told that he was actually spending some nights in the Pines Resort hotel at Bass Lake, where the rooms have Internet access and is advertised as 'a cosy getaway for families' complete with blueberry pancakes for breakfast."
It's a telly programme

Man vs. Wild/ Born Survivor has been criticized by outdoor enthusiasts for fabricating some of the situations Bear finds himself in for dramatic effect. They contend that Bear misleads his viewers and gives the impression that he is alone in the wild, when this has never been the case. Unlike Les Stroud, host of the similarly themed survivorman series, critics allege that Bear rarely puts himself in harms way, and that he is occasionally assisted by members of the production crew and other survival experts. (Conversely, Stroud plans to retire from the survivorman series citing the constant mental stress and anguish associated with surviving alone in the wild for days at a time)
In 2006 it was revealed that Born Survivor misled viewers into believing that Grylls was stranded in the wild alone when he was not, and Channel 4 temporarily suspended the show for a few weeks. Discovery and Channel 4 then aired reedited episodes, removing elements that were too planned, with a fresh voice-over and a preceding announcement pointing out that some situations are 'presented to Bear to show the viewer how to survive'. Discovery and Channel 4 have continued to broadcast the program.
An adviser to the Man vs. Wild/Born Survivor series revealed that Grylls was staying at a California lodge while filming episodes in the California Mountain Range. Grylls was shown trying to ride "wild" horses who were clearly well brushed and appeared to have horseshoes. It was later revealed that these were ex-ranch horses. In another episode Bear claims to be crossing an unstable lava bridge, when in reality the area is part of a national park and is within visual distance of a parking lot and major road. Similarly, it was revealed that Grylls stayed at a crew base-camp in the Costa Rican jungle, while giving viewers the impression that he was alone. There have been several other incidents, including the impression Grylls built a raft "in a matter of hours with no tools". According to the adviser, the raft was actually in part built by a show stunt consultant. This episode implied it was filmed on a small South Pacific island, which Channel 4 admitted was actually a peninsula in Hawaii, the scene of Hollywood movie shoots. These incidents were confirmed by Channel 4, who argued that it was not a documentary, but a "how-to" guide to survival, implying that staged scenes were acceptable in that context.
