Bear Grylls A Fraud

For those of you who don't know who Bear Grylls is, he is the host of the Discovery Channel's "Man vs. Wild." Every week Bear is put in a seeminly impossible situation and, by sheer wit and determination, somehow makes it out. He must make shelter every night and find enough food to sustain himself over the period he is stranded. However, it has come to light that many of the show's scenes are rigged. He is actually not surviving on his own, but rather is aided along the way by a host of crewmen. In scenes where he is camping out in the woods or on the prarie, he only films a couple minutes and heads back for the hotel.



I, for one, am pissed that some idiot brought this to light. We all had a thought in the back of our mind that the show was not as truthful as is claimed to be, but so what. I was intrigued by Bear's knowledge of the outdoors and his ability to survive in nature's most violent circumstances. Who would know what kind of alge decontaminates groundwater, or how you can get water from an elephant turd? Bear did...dammitt.

If the show ends up getting canceled (which I din't know why it would) I have an idea for a new reality show that would be low on cost and high on hilarity.

It's called "Man vs. Child" and it pits Rob Schnieder against middle-school bullies. The premise is Rob visiting different junior highs and challenging the biggest kids there. The great thing about this show is you never know who is really going to win. The season finale would be Schnieder doing the American Gladiator course with the same kids he fought throughout the season as gladiators. He could face Dustin Diamond or somebody equally worthless. It would be a hit.

I think I would watch that as long as Schneider was doing it just to earn some cash to pay the bills, because he was so down on his luck.

I would hate it if he was doing his movie shtick.
