Never heard of, nor watched anything with Bear Grylls.

Its blatantly staged!
Theres no way they would let him do half the stuff he does if it was for reals.

Anyone seen the video of him in the desert, where the camera turns to the left and he is actually next to a main road?

I like his shows, end of the day he's not trying to survive, he's showing ppl how to survive in that situation, yeah some of it is staged but there's a lot that isn't, and there is still a adapter to his life,

I'm fully aware alot is staged, but at the end of the day it is him doing all that stuff you see. Drinking piss, eating rank stuff, climbing things and jumping into freezing lakes.

A lot of it is staged unfortunately (Discovery removed and re-edited a fair few episodes during the whole public outrage on staging fiasco) and he is always followed by a medic and a survival expert for safety. But it's an entertainment show, same as Top Gear, rather than a factual survival show like Ray Mears.
Either way, i doubt he'll be 'jobless' for long as i suspect he'll get picked up in the states for some form of survival show.
stan_the_man - True but it's no different to some of the stuff that happens on Jackass; in fact i'd say Jackass was worse in some respects.
