I think I've watched two episodes now, mostly because the History Channel has more reality tv shows than ITV and I'm getting a bit desperate so started flicking through the Discovery Channels. But anyway just watching the show, doesn't the presence of the cameraman just ruin the illusion for everyone? I mean he is in the middle of the sea on a raft which is capsizing in bad weather and they manage to give us a good 5 different angles from presumably 5 different cameras of this moment of horrendous mortal danger. The same when he is climbing up the cliff, while he tells us this is one of the "toughest things he has ever done" the poor camera man has to carry a fricken high def camera up that mountain and hold it while filming him from several different angles. Plus he went to Eton and I'm a poshist so he was always going to be a prick.
Bear's a fraud. A dick. Watched 'Locked up Abroad' earlier on in my birds and the Scotish prick got locked up for smuggling Whiskey into Saudi Arabia. Was retty good.
He hasn't got anything on this guy... [NSFW][video=youtube;cKKyrvS2WNE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKKyrvS2WNE[/video][/NSFW]
never knew that Edward Michael "Bear" Grylls Grylls grew up in Donaghadee, Northern Ireland and Bembridge on the Isle of Wight.[6][7] He is the son of the late Conservative party politician Sir Michael Grylls, exposed by The Guardian in the cash-for-questions affair as the "most senior and voracious Tory MP run by the lobbyist Ian Greer",[8] and Lady Grylls (née Sarah Ford),[9] daughter of Patricia Ford,[10] briefly an Ulster Unionist Party MP, and cricketer and businessman Neville Ford. Grylls has one sibling—an elder sister, Lara Fawcett, a cardio-tennis coach, who gave him the nickname 'Bear' when he was a week old.[11]
Bear Grylls is just the 'adult' equivalent of the annoying, show off kid at school who used to eat worms. Ray Mears would batter **** out of him.
Isn't it about time someone told Ray Mears about supermarkets and houses, and that he doesn't have to eat that crap or sleep under a tarpaulin?
If you were to be stranded somewhere I'd rather it be with ray mears.. You know he would build you a three bed detached with porch and you'd eat well.. That bear twat would have you eating raw sloth living under a tree..
