For those who like the show Man vs Wild
Bear Grylls has a show on the Discovery Channel called "Man VS Wild" where he battles the elements, quickly builds shelter and eats live animals.
Well, sources say that Bear is a big fraud. They say that producers make it look like he's braving it, but when the cameras are turned off Bear checks himself into a luxury hotel.
Mark Weinhart was hired as a consultant to the show and said that it's mostly fake. He said that in an episode where Bear is supposed to be camping in the mountains and biting the heads off of snakes, he was actually spending nights in a hotel complete with jacuzzi and internet access. In another episode where Bear was supposed to be stranded on a deserted island, he was actually staying in a hotel in Hawaii.
The Discovery Channel has launched their own investigation to find out the truth! They said, "Discovery Communications has learned that isolated elements of the 'Man vs. Wild' show in some episodes were not natural to the environment, and that for health and safety concerns the crew and host received some survival assistance while in the field," a spokeswoman for the network said. Moving forward the program will be 100 percent transparent and all elements of the filming will be explained up-front to our viewers. In addition, shows that are to be repeated will be edited appropriately." Image Attachment(s):

I actually like Survivorman. LOL. I like that "Survivorman" has to set up his own camera / gear and cart it around with him. It makes it seem more real (although he probably has a crew following him too).

Ugh. The Elephant dung.... I almost died.
Sorry - I think Survivor Man is way more authentic - he does his own camera work after all!

Erod...I can't attest to the urine if you want to talk about editing...
but I watched him lift a big ball of fresh elephant dung and SQUEEZE it into his mouth...as a nice chunk fell on his face.
the dude is hard core I don't care what anyone says!

but he like chills out for a WEEK. makes himself a little house....
I don't know. he doesn't "do it" for me.
I guess I like an alpha male.
SurvivorMan apologized for eating animals. dude COME ON! I'd rip the head off a bunny if I was hungry enough.
He's too wimpy for me.

I will agree with that - hardcore is right! some of the stuff he does is INSANE!!!! did you see the one when he was in the amazon and he was eating piranhas 
and the one when he was on a deserted island on the raft and he jumped into the water and almost collided with a tiger shark

I hear ya - but because his stunts are soooo dramatic sometimes, well, that's why I'm not surprised to hear some of his stuff if fake.

I always say...practically after every show..that I hope he checks himself into some swanky hotel and has an AWESOME dinner....
he doesn't lose cred in my book.
