Yeah....the Indians were filming Indian vs. Wild. "Look, Jurupari!!! Dinner!!!"

You think the scene where Bear eats the grubs was revolting!!

PH

A NYC taxi cab driver told me that the crocs in the "Outback" episode were really men in Croc suits. He said his brother is in the actors union guild and he got the job.

I also read on a blog that the night scene where Bear is sleeping out in the Rocky Moutains was really filmed in LA because you can see a Taco Bell sign through the trees.

That, or some drug cartels' grow-op.
"Yea, civilization!"
"Yes, let me introduce you to my little friend!"

It seems I ruined it for a couple of guys by saying he was seen (gasp) staying in a hotel.

Was it the initial shock of hearing the news, or just when you heard they "dirtied him up" before leaving?

I would never have posted it if I didn't trust the person (general manager) 100%. Don't kill the messanger man!

That wasn't really a live salmon. I heard from a sushi chef that Bear eats rice cakes on the air that appear to be live fish.

Wait what?! I don't get it. The fish looked live to me.

watched the Everglades episdoe last night. i've been procrastinating watching it because i thought the Everglades were the wimpiest out of all the places he's been. they actually proved to be the craziest and place i'd least like to be stranded. you can't see anything in those swamps and with 1 million gators in the everglades, you will encounter them. plus there are rattlers, black bears and cougars.

And if those don't get you, the mosquitos will. Even maps and GPS won't guarantee a quick return if you get lost fishing the flats and rivers out there.

Remember when he started to cut across the mangroves in South America rather than drift out into deeper water? I told my girlfriend "No WAY will that work!" Sure enough, he came out all cut up after an hour, and decided to try the deeper water. The 'Glades are serious territory.

Bear Grylls was on Kimmel last week and described the taste of the goat testicles that he ate in the upcoming "Sahara" episode. Yum!

Miami, Matt Drudge couldn't wear your jock strap! It would seem that Mr. Grylls has been playing Two Card Monty with his loyal audience!!

Goat testicles! Sweetness!

There's always survivorman.

I watched a couple of episodes this weekend and am hooked. I was watching with my 4 year old and had a lot of explaining when he was in Scotland and caught the little bunny..he gently twisted its neck and then said "to be sure, give it two hard chops on the back of the neck to be sur eit's dead." Now I need to make sure my son doesnt chop the new puppy!

he's officially off my DVR. what a phony.

Man you guys'll believe anything you see or hear. This show is so entertaining - even survivorman is literally copying the exact format of the show because so many people are into it. Who cares about rumors and allegations from people NOT on tv. For all we know, that 'expert' is jealous he doesn't have a show of his own. (or maybe he works for Survivorman)

The crew was waiting for Bear to shake off the hanger he had from a rough night of drinking so they could put him back out in the wild to continue the shoot!

The Pines Resort at Bass Lake is advertised as "a cozy getaway for families" and is a luxurious hotel with its own spa on a lake......NY Post Story

Corroborating truth or Bear conspiracy? Hum?

Let me get this straight, some of you actually believed that this stupid show was on the level. You have got to be kidding. How "out in the wilderness" do you think they are with a full TV crew. Do you still believe in Santa, and the Easter bunny?

VT2IT,
Why are you so angry?

I'm not the least bit angry, I'm also not naive. I will admit that I react to what I deem foolish or ignorant behavior in a less then positive manner. For that I am proud, as one should always try to educate the ill-informed.

Really? Do you think the show survivor has "real" qualities to it? What about reality shows in general? If you're going to call people on this forum naive for thinking that a reality show might be part reality, I think you are the uninformed. As it goes, its generally the one who points the finger who shares the blame. Good parallel too: Man vs. Wild---Easter Bunny. Nice job.

VT,
The only thing you have "informed" anyone here of is that you are an obnoxious and angry individual. If a reality program is staging events than it should disclose so in the beggining of the episode.
BTW, don't knock the Tooth Fairy.
