The show is apparently called Born Survivor in the UK.

It’s a tv show..............

I had my doubts about some of his claims and the show in general, but it doesn’t stop me from enjoying it. I see the show more as a teaching tool, than a real life documentary.

[Tarpon]

I wonder if people actually thought the show was real. It’s an interesting entertaining show, but the sawed off logs in the log raft should have tipped them off that it was staged.

My (just turned) 14 year old son isn’t going to be happy about this.

Whenever I see a “reality show” with someone supposedly living off the land I can’t help but think the cameramen aren’t living off the land.

What next? Wrasselin’ on TV is fake too?

[afnamvet]

AAAAAAHHH crap! Say it ain’t so.

The next thing you know is they’ll claim that wrestling is faked too.

So what if some of the show is stage! Any intelligent person could deduce that. I look at it like a training film. Its the information conveyed that is important. Who knows? Anyone of us could be stuck in the Gobi Desert without a pot, right?

You want to impress me? Drop his white arse in the middle of D.C. in the dead of night, and see if he makes it out alive!

In all of these type shows including Survivor where they are starving and no water etc. and in real danger, who do you think is recording it on film?? I would say it’s pretty hard to die from thirst with a whole camera and sound crew a few feet away.

I roughed it out once at the Bellagio and had a Bloody Mary with vodka from the well.

I almost broke down, right there in the bar off the lobby.

In another episode viewers watched as Grylls tried to coax an apparently wild mustang into a lasso in the Sierra Nevada. “I’m in luck,” he told viewers, apparently coming across four wild horses grazing in a meadow. “A chance to use an old native American mode of transport comes my way. This is one of the few places in the whole of the US where horses still roam wild.”

Especially since there are no wild horses in the Sierra, they are found at the foot of the White Mountains, 20 miles east of the High Sierra.
