Bear Grills is a real man. I would die before drinking that (sh*t) too - lliterally.

My wife told me his real name is theodore and and the name bear came from his nickname growing up "teddy bear".

He ate an elephant turd?
I love the show. I think it's wild when he eats fish raw. Biting through scales.

... this show and Dirty Jobs are pretty good... but they always seem to show commercials... or just be on the tube... WHEN I'M EATING. :)

That 'BEING THE TRIBE' or whatever its called is good too. The guy eats some root that makes him trip for days with south american bushman.

I don't think there's one show on Discovery, TLC, History etc that I don't enjoy...
... it's like a bunch of mini documentaries all day long.

Yes, we all know bear is his nickname, his real name is not theodore, its cougar.
If you watch The elephant shit espisode, you will see that he drinks that, on the same day he arrived to location, he doesn't even have a 5 o clock shadow..

I'm all about discovery these days..
I also watched survivor man, wich is a bit more realistic than man vs wild (he wont find a water jug in the middle of the forest, or a swiss army knife in the ocean) but its not as entertaining than watchin m vs w.

Does he get dropped into those places w/a camera... and no camera man? Cuz the shots do often appear as if no one is looking through the camera...
... but then you get these shots of him a mile away walking up some mountainside...
... they kinda do that often in some of these shows... the narrator is the guy in the scene and he's often talking about how dangerous it is for him to be out there...
... but he never mentions the danger that the cameraman, sound rigger and boom fella deal with... I mean... their hands are full and they gotta worry 'bout the shot and all the tech crap... OUTSIDE of the fact that they're about to be attacked by an angry 'gator.

I think the survivor man does all his own camera work. He mentioned what a pain it is because he has to walk twice as much to get those long shots of himself.

I watched three hours of this show on Sunday, I love it.
In Iceland, that was gnarly how he scraped the meat out of that freshly dead lamb, and popped out it's eyeball, then boiled it in a geothermal pool.

(Jul 24 07, 07:23)yeah! the truth is there is no need to eat an eyeball when you have the entire animal, it's all part of the shocking factor

Aren't they calling this guy out? Saying that it's not as "wild" as the show makes it out to be and he actually stays in hotels and what not.
- mg330
I just wish that the show was over several days. Seems that he only sleeps for one night and finds a way out easily.
I'd like a little more realism, but the show is great regardless.

fuck this show.
anyone see the episode of him floating down the river with his backpack?
he hops in as is, comes ashore in one scene noticeably wearing a life jacket under the sweatshirt, the next cut has him crawling ashore further minus the life jacket.
then in another scene he complains of being alone and having no one around (call me crazy but have you seen the angles on that show? there are at least 3 cameramen out there with him. alone my ass.)
contrived as shit show.
survivorman may have been boring but that guy was at least out there by himself
