Bear Grylls' Born Survivor
 
Does anyone watch this awesome tv program?

Bear Grylls is the ultimate survivor god. He eats roaches, he sleeps inside dismembered camels, he shows you how to free yourself from quicksands. What more could you ask from tv?







 


Don't worry, he'll get out of it unscathed.

 


Bring it on!

God, British shows are so much more interesting than American one's.

i flicked over the channel and saw him drinking the blood eminating from a yaks jugular which he had just cut, then cut out its liver and eat it while still warm, then skin it and eat its eyeball. the norfolk broads are a rough old place arnt they?

sarramkrop 04.23.2008 07:36 AM

I wonder what his wife thinks of his breath after eating all those lizards and scorpions.

Rob Instigator 04.23.2008 09:02 AM

he is a FAKER. his show got HIATUS because it was found out he has been faking everything. he eats food at camp with the camera crew. he tests everything he does repeatedly until he can do it and then he films it. he is a fucking wanker joke. his show is a fucking ball of lies. fuck bear grilly.

so, that time he tried to slake his thirst by squeezing the poo-water from elephant dung was simply the culmination of several attemtps to get it down?

honestly, that's even more burly than just doing it once.

HE IS SO NOT A FAKER, ROB, SO NOT!!! HE IS REAL, totally and UTTERLY REAL!!!!!!!

I like the fact that Bear Grylls is quite possibly the most posh person this side of Prince William. I find something quite comforting in that, for some reason.

it6 is NOT survival, which is his "calling card" and supposedly what the show is truly about. the shopw and him actually claimed that he got no support from the camera crew, that he would eat off the land, BULLSHIT. it came out a few months ago. his show is a crock of shit. he ate whatever the crew klugged along, and only pretended to subsist on the nature around him. he is a fucking cocksmear and sucks ass.

at least that dork canadian survivorman does everything himself, lugging his own camera equipment, setting up shots, taking down cameras, hunting, buildintg fire, etc.

Rob Instigator 04.23.2008 09:38 AM

The Point Is Not That He Drakn Elephant Dung Water, But That He Never Really Needed To, Nor Drink His Own Piss, Which He Did Just To Taste It An Dthe Rest Of The Time Pretended To Be Doing So When He Actually Had Water In His Canteen.

BUT HE SQUEEZED THE CAMEL POO IN ORDER TO GET WATER, ROB, SQUEEZED IT!!!


HE IS TOTALLY REAL, ROB, REAL!!

Rob Instigator 04.23.2008 09:46 AM

"Following allegations that the show deceived viewers into believing that he was really stranded in the wild when he wasn't, Channel 4 temporarily suspended the show. Discovery aired re-edited episodes designed to remove elements that were considered too planned, with a fresh voiceover, and has continued to broadcast the program.
An adviser to the Man vs. Wild/Born Survivor series had claimed that Grylls had been staying at a California motel between filming. Similarly, it was alleged that Grylls had stayed at a crew base-camp in the Costa Rican jungle while giving viewers the impression that he was alone. These allegations were confirmed by Channel 4, who argued that it wasn't a documentary, but a 'how-to' guide to survival, implying that 'faked' or re-shot scenes were acceptable in that context."



yeah, real fucking REAL

seriously.

NOBODY drinks poo-water just for fun and profit!

he drank the shit-drippings because if he hadn't, he would have DIED of thirst on the DARK CONTINENT of CANADA.

I also find it funny (funny strange, not funny haha) that so many people are incited by this but NOBODY fucking mentions the fact that Wayne Coyne has to tape an iPod to his fucking guitar to make it play music.

POO WATER IS MORE REAL THAN iPODS.

nobody mention sit because evryone is sick to death of bullshit ass flaming lips yo

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 04.23.2008 10:15 AM

I like Survivorman better. He doesn't senselessly endanger himself, drink pee, or get attacked by men in bear suits.

clever deflection of porky's challenge.

until you can honestly say you've squeezed out a fresh batch of butt-juice into yr cup, you cannot criticize Capt. Survivor's MAN-POWER.

besides, you might as well just give up now. I get the feeling that porky's going to defend this guy to the death. his name is BEAR for fuck's sake.

jon boy 04.23.2008 10:19 AM

i prefer ray mears.

I don't like him, really, I've only watched it a couple of times. I think that Rob is right, he might be a little charlatan and the poo perhaps is not real camel poo.

no one is criticizing him for sucking juice out of an elephants turd. his show is about survival, or was before it got cancelled due to LIES. any asshole can go suck juice from an elephants shit. it takes a true survivor to do so because there is no other option, as he claims in his bullshit set up shows.

screamingskull 04.23.2008 10:36 AM

his name is not really Bear, i am so disappointed, that seemed like such an awesome name.

Rob Instigator 04.23.2008 10:39 AM

that was his nickname.

he is the silver spoon son of a rich ass beknighted conservative politician in the UK.

sarramkrop 04.23.2008 10:41 AM

What a fucking travesty. This thread shattered my dreams about a true survivor who was, like, real.

screamingskull 04.23.2008 10:44 AM

i am going to name one of my kids Bear. Its such a great name.

and he's the kid of a conservative, ewww he can wash but he will never be clean.

HA HA HA :)

LifeDistortion 04.23.2008 11:33 AM

The new episodes are terrible. He doesn't even try to act like he's alone, he's hanging out with tribes and shit and its just boring. People who defend him will argue that the show was never about Bear being alone and "confronting" danger, but him showing viewers common mistakes people make when out in these areas, and what they should do instead. Like once when he intentionally jumped in quicksand, and showed viewers what do if one ever found themselves in the same situation. I see both sides of the argument. They should have never gave the impression that various moments were done spontanteously, or that he was "stranded" in places he wasn't. If the show is really about teaching people skills they could really use.

jon boy 04.23.2008 12:04 PM

ultimately this is a television show made for our entertainment and to stare at a box with colours on it like the useless skin bags that we are so i dont care if he did stay in a hotel or did drink water from camel excrement or not.

Rob Instigator 04.23.2008 12:44 PM

I care about mis-representation.

th show ALWAYS claimed that he was out alone, witno help from his film crew, with no assiatance whatsoever. all the while he stays in hotels. nice. what a load of shit.

PAULYBEE2656 04.23.2008 01:23 PM

dont like him at all. you do know he stays in 5 star hotels in between shooting his survivor programmes.......... he is a fake and was found out!

Sonic Youth 37 04.23.2008 01:42 PM

Survivor Man is the real deal. He films all his own shit, so like 9/10 of his time is spent walking back to get his camera after doing time-lapse shots. He creates all the music for the show too.

Look, Rob, it's not as if I'm really going to stop watching it because of this or that thread. I really don't care how real it might be, it's just a tv program, GODAMNIT!!!

The show was broadcasted in America as "Man vs. Wild." It was pretty popular. I watched most of the first season back when I was living on campus.

ALIEN ANAL 04.24.2008 03:34 AM

bullshit rob
he is real, those claims are just by wankers

sarramkrop 04.24.2008 03:39 AM

For the record, Roboto, watch the program and read what it says before it starts. I didn't even bother pointing this out yesterday.
