Man vs Wild/Ultimate Survival - Fake?!

[Narrat0r]

I am a HUGE fan of this show, and Bear Grylls is very interesting and fun to watch. Out of curiosity, I searched is there any possibility that it could be fake. I was unpleasantly surprised.

I think I got an infarct when I saw that. What the hell, it seemed so real all the time. Next thing I found was AN ENTIRE SITE DEDICATED TO PROVING HE'S FAKE! http://www.daughtersoftiresias.org/bearwiki/Main_Page

I just can't believe it. If he could faked THAT much, that certainly made me stop watching the show.

Of course it's fake lol. He does all of that fancy jumping around and showing off his athletic skills for nothing. At the beginning of the show, there's a little message which includes that he receives help from the crew as required by medical standards or something when in a survival situation. This means he's really not surviving at all, it's just a show off of all the skills that he supposedly knows. He probably gets someone to tell him exactly what to say before they shoot each scene.

Now, if you want a real survival show, go for Survivorman. That guy is surviving for real in different places around the world for a whole week. No camera crew, no food, no water, no other person with him, he's completely alone and has to survive for a whole week and film himself during the whole time by carrying around his own camera equipment. Now that's a real survival show.

Survivor Man is the way to go, his is all real, nothing fake, he does it alone.
