Man vs Wild
I think last night was a new episode. Did anyone catch it? Bear did stuff that was beyond nasty, even for him. The things he did to that camel, oh man. Not to mention he ate raw sheep balls, a poisonous snake and frog.

Re: Man vs Wild
The one Sahara one I saw seemed to really play down the "He's out there all alone!" aspect that last season had. He mentioned the team a lot, he interacted with other people, the show was much more a "Bear Gryllis teaches survival" instead of "Bear Gryllis survives."
I like that not just because it's more honest but because it creates more distinction between Survivorman and Man v. Wild. And by going away from the "Bear all alone" schtick they seemed more inclined to use more cinematic editing and the like which makes the show more watchable. |

Re: Man vs Wild
I'll have to check it out..its to bad they decided to bs everyone instead of going this route...cuz to be honest it works fine even if he isn't doing the "watch me fast for a week in the wild" which Les essentially does.
Man vs. Wild given the production values etc is a far more enjoyable watch. Would be cool though if Les upped the anty and went for 2 weeks instead of one. |

It's more like a "how to survive" show now, rather than a "look how tough I am" show. The honesty is better. It's apparent even in the old ones that they're dubbed in comments like "I'm not staying here" and "With the crew's help.....". |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah yeah totally, I was just going to start a thread about this. It's really interesting that the producers have reacted to the hubbub and really changed the show. They've totally acknowledged that it's fake and they set stuff up for Bear to do. Now they just show him eat nasty stuff and do some climbing and various interesting scenarios. I think it's actually a better show now. |
