Bear Grylls fired by Discovery Channel

[jglunt]

Anybody gonna miss him. I Won't. I think most of his advice would get people hurt or killed in a real survival situation.

Well it's about time maybe they will put something worth while in his time slot

not sure of who you speak of thought this was a bbq grill for bears

Probably, something like, "Playboy Bunnies Looking for Bigfoot's Baby's Ghost Near the Supposed Location of the Leprechaun's Pot of Gold".

that would require a 24/7 hiddin cam in the playboy mansion

Most of the time at night he was staying
in hotels somewheres instead of the wild.

Same here.

Bear Grylls dosn't sound like the Name of a real Person,
so No interest to Look, & No feelings either way :P

The most important thing I learned on his survival specials was to bring along a cameraman.

Bear and his team got to much help. Man vs Wild was a lot better.

So much for his survival skills in holding down a job

I never watch this show. To me all reality shows are so phoney they make me sick. However, I'd give almost anything to have my own.

How bout "BIG YARD TOADS GONE WILD"

or

"GARAGE SALE STARS"

or

"EXTREME DIGGERS" This would be about THers digging 6-30 feet deep for clad.

There is a new metal detecting show coming on
spike TV on Wed nights at 10 called American Diggers.

 

[packerbacker]

I watched part of one of his shows a long time ago. When I saw him running downhill in the woods at double-time speed I knew that he was a fake for the uneducated fan. The last thing you want to do is break or twist an ankle or leg or trip and seriously injure or possibly kill yourself. Little kids might be impressed by him................maybe.

Watched 2 episodes just today. While Bear G. may slip off to an occasional Bed n Breakfast, he is a manly-man making a fortune doing something he obviously loves.
There is a tendency by many to poo poo reality shows. On TNet, I get the impression that many feel their hobby will be permanently impinged by a show called Diggers. Please. The only people who will watch are a few detectorists and couch potatos.
Even Bear Grylls only pulls a millon viewers. And he does this by stripping bare*ss nekkid and jumping into freezing water. Diggers will not impact detecting one bit.
Many people I know think an afternoon digging pulltabs and clad is more boring than watching American Idol or Bachelor or The Nanny.
Geez, lets cut each other some slack. I admire montanamike or minnesotajim or whoever has the nuts to do a tv show more than anyone who types little griping messages myself included.

Thanks

From the article I read Bear was seldomly outside at night
and this came from insiders of the television show. Sure he
gets naked and gets in the water and even drinks his own
piss from time to time, anyone thirsty enough will do that.
Me personally I cant wait for American Diggers on Wed night.

Did you mean to say "Survivorman" with Les Stroud?

Man vs Wild was Bear's show.

I think you just made Wayne_sa's point. Real easy to critize something you know little about. I happen to like Bear. If you paid attention you could have picked up bits of survival info that is useful to know. He certainly lives life on his own terms. Research him some (Wiki?). You might change your opinion.
