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.
Explain to me how I was angry or obnoxios. All I did was state would should be obvious to anyone who has watched even a few minutes of that silly program. IT'S NOT REAL.

I was wrong, you are a wonderful person Smile. Anyway, after reading all your comments, can I assume you are an athiest?
Of course I'm an athiest, and proud of it. Only a complete fool would still believe in a god. We are nothing but a fluke of nature.

Survivor? Do you really think that or any other reality show is completely on the up and up? I suppose it's somehow charming to think that there are still people in the world who believe all that they see on TV. I just didn't think there were any adults who did.


"real" qualities does not mean completely on the up and up. Read the post first, take notes if you have to, maybe give yourself sometime to digest the information that seemed to have overwhelmed you, then maybe, just maybe you won't look like a complete ass next time you post. Oh, and I suppose it is somehow charming to think that an "adult" would engage in such offensive behavior and not think so.

Capital "G" for God please. You are intitled to your beliefs. Have you ever read Dante's Inferno? Such things may await you...
Only proper nouns are capitalized, not ideas. Dante's Inferno? Now you must be kidding right? I'm supposed to change my beliefs because of a novel from the dark ages? Of course you base your beliefs on an even older work of fiction. The same fate awaits us all. Death, that's it, end of story. I do understand how that can be scary to some, so they try to assuage their fear with stories of an afterlife. I prefer to face reality and enjoy the life that I do have.

This is the wisest thing that you have ever posted MWG. They are inane drivel, and not "real" at all. How anybody could waste their time watching such trash is beyond my comprehension.

For someone who holds reality shows beneath your contempt, you sure know "man for Wild" real well.

Wine Wizard, I'm not going to get in a pissing contest with you over religion. Believe what ever gets you through the day, just stop tring to tell others what to think. And as for your post, you are so far off as to be laughable. And that's what I do a lot, laugh. Unlike most uptight Jebus freaks.

You do not need to watch it to know it's faked, just a basic understanding of what goes into filming a TV show. I did once watch it for about 15 minutes, and found it foolish and clearly staged.

Even I have never been called a paradox, oxymoron and conundrum in the same breath, you should feel enlightened and blessed. However I have been called a moron on many occasions. I'm still pondering the varietal composition of caymus conundrum, I'm assuming riesling, sav blanc, chardonnay, Muscat, maybe some roussanne. It's all about analogy!

Even after this thread has drifted to a bunch of nonsense, I still think Man v Wild is one of the most entertaining shows on tv. Furthermore, Bear Grylls does things I would NEVER dream of doing. I can't figure out how anybody is skeptical that he wasn;t really drinking piss, or eating live snakes and poisonous spiders or scorpions, or descending waterfalls and mountains with his 'Bear' hands (get it?!).

Do you naysayers also think 'To Catch a Preadator' is fake?

Hey, while we're at it, may as well consider Deadliest Catch to be staged, too. I heard from this Alaskan bartender that those guys really shoot the footage for that show in a big wave-pool and cruise into the bar EVERY night before staying in the five-star resort in Dutch Harbor.


dannyk...Did you miss WW's post reaffirming what I said much earlier (not the part about Drudge not being able to wear my jock strap...heh)?! You know, where it backs up everything I said factually?

I like your spin on though. Nobody EVER said he wasn't eating Zebra butt, or drinking (fill in the blank). What I said (go back and read it) was that he stayed in HOTELS, and that part of it was staged. That's when you decided to call me out and make a fool of yourself.

Was exposing your Super Hero kinda like when you found out there WAS no Santa Clause before you were ready? Razz

And I don't think you will. Good show, but this is a big blow to his jungle cred. Watching him suffer in the name of survival was the appeal of the show.

Sure, some people will defend him, (hell, some idiots defended Michael Vick) but the thought of him checking in to a lush hotel after eating dung beatles doesn't hold the same appeal.

Bear is back!!
The Discovery Channel brought back Man vs. Wild last night. They now have a disclaimer during the episode stating Bear "gets assistance" in certain circumstances (comfy fluffy Holiday Inn Express pillows, no doubt).

I also noticed he did some voice overs in two episodes, giving credit to "the crew" for helping him make a rope made of bamboo.

A Mea Culpa by Bear..gets him back on the air.

Finally caught a few episodes of "Survivor Man". This guy gets "caught" out in the wilderness with more stuff than I take to a resort.
My kids call him "Whiner Man".

Yeah. I did a double take when I flipped around the channels and so him, but like many others now I assume - he got channel changed to something else.

He'll need to fight a pack of lions with a stick in his hand to win me back at this point. Eating spiders and starting fires won't cut it.

To win me back he has to return to the Everglades buck naked, all while running through the saw grass.
