Bear Grylls sleeps in Motel Six's when the camera's are off! 
Bear drinks his own pee and Les actually makes a solar still to distill his pee.
I stopped watching man vs wild when bear was in AK and staged the whole sinking aluminum skiff scene. No one would have NOT noticed that amount of water entering a skiff they were paddling with a shovel. 
My new favorite non-reality tv show is "out of the wild" nothing like dropping a bunch of city folk off in remote parts of Alaska during the late fall. The drama of it all

I saw Men Vs. Wild and it's true it could have been funnier... I got the feeling from it that Ferrell thought it would be a good promotion for his movie, prepared a couple of jokes in advance, but didn't manage to deliver them because it turns out the cold... really is cold! He was too busy not fainting. 
In a way I guess it made the show better because you get less of that 'staged' feel. I know a lot of Bear's stuff is staged but thankfully not all of it. |

I drove up to Anchorage Alaska from Seattle last summer. On my way, I stopped in Whitehorse Yukon for a couple nights. Turned out they had just wrapped up an episode of Man vs Wild. Bear had already flown out earlier that day but the whole rest of the crew was staying there another night. We ended up wasted out in the street after the bar closed. I made a point for the crew to tell Bear that Kevin from Seattle, found a stream, followed it to a river, and somehow found himself s#!7* in Whitehorse with you *fv@%*. |

well, I find Man vs Wild far more entertaining than Les's show...its rather boring. Regardless of what you think about the show the man is pretty resourceful
I do need to find the episode with Ferrell in it as it looked pretty entertaining from the commercials I saw. |

I'll admit it's more entertaining. My argument is that since it's purported to be a REALITY show it should have a bit more basis in REALITY.
Truth is I rarely watch any of the REALITY shows so my opinion probably doesn't count for much.

Give that man some Listerine  |

Thats what makes it entertaining lol I tend to stay away from reality shows as well, but he is interesting to watch..much more so than Survivorman which may have more helpful tips in reality, its rather boring to watch someone eat twigs and berries. |
