"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
