Bear Grylls & “Man vs Wild” are a Fraud!
July 24, 2007 Posted in Entertainment
The BBC is investigating claims that “Man vs Wild” “misled viewers.” And Bear Grylls (former member of SAS, a career that ended when he broke his back in three places, after rehabilitation became the youngest Brit to climb Mt. Everest and return alive) isn’t as rugged as he seems on the show. Not that we all didn’t think some of “Man vs Wild” was staged for dramatic effect but a crew member told the Sunday Times of some pretty damning allegations.
American survival consultant Mark Weinert, who was recruited by Diverse Productions, told the paper,
Grylls claimed to be stranded on a desert island on one occasion. However, he was actually in Hawaii and spent some of his time there in a motel, Mr Weinert alleged. Another time, he added, Grylls was filmed building a raft by himself, whereas the crew had actually put it together and dismantled it beforehand, to ensure that it worked. And in a further episode, supposedly “wild” horses rounded up by Grylls had come from a local trekking facility, he claimed
Say it ain’t so Bear, say it ain’t so! All those times I thought you were being attacked by 6 foot tarantulas in your make shift palm tree tent you were snoozing away at the Holiday Inn?!!? And you didn’t learn those horse wrangling skills in the British “Special Services??!?!?” WHYYYYY!
The Discovery Channel made a statement saying, “The program explicitly does not claim that presenter Bear Grylls’ experience is one of unaided solo survival. For example, he often directly addresses the production team, including the cameraman, making it clear he is receiving an element of back-up.”
So I guess it is true but these allegations don’t take away from the fact that Bear Grylls is a lean mean killing machine that can give small animals a one way ticket to hell with a single blow.. like this clip where he judo chops a rabbit, then eats it raw. This is the Bear Grylls I want to remember!

I got a serious problem with this article. Allegations are spineless rumors with absolutely no proff what so ever. If they were true then it would be evidence. Don't be mad that you aren't half the man bear grylles is, so you have to publish non-sense articles about him. Oh yea dont change what I wrote either like you did when I commented on the bonds article too. Bears the man, and your not.
bear is the shit mofo, what you think chris?
dont change my shit either, obviously doug has a crush on bear, i bet you wanna give him a paw job huh doug anderson. get a life, yeh bear is tight but he might stay in hotels, big deal. have a fantasy with someone else dougie
You're right. I'm a tool. I like bear more than a friend. Yeh, I'm gay as shit for him.
i always had a feeling bear was a no good cheating prick. gimme steve irwin anyday
dougie and homee need to get a room and have hate sex with each other.. end of story
you guys are just clearly jealous bear grylls could kick ur ass in about 3 seconds and steal a women from you in about 2. Bear's the man and ill chill with him any day
Bear is Doug's idol! what u expect, he wants to do him in the Sahara desert while swinging from vines
however wrote steve irwin should take the double sided dildo out of his and steve's ass. that guy is the definition of a fuckin tool.
Bear is the man, and he's innocent and hardcore until proven to be a fraud.
The only thig that is a fraud is how this god dam website is run. you cant even comment on an article without having your shit changed. If anyone gave two shits anyway about this site I would already have a law suit in the works.
doug – are you gonna cry? no need to start poppin tears over Bear Grylls
His name is not even Bear – Discovery just added that to make him sound badass… He name is actually Winston.
winston grylls…. sounds like a gay pornstar name to me
hi im larry
Bear's an alright bloke. How could you not know he isn't solo on his expeditions? you can obviously tell that some one is filming him and following him. That's not to say he doesn't do some of the stuff he alleges, like killing a snake and eating it. However, some of the advice he gives is pretty f8cking stoopid! if you want to learn how to survive in the wild, go with Les Straud, the original Survivalman!
finding out bear grylls isnt real when I am 22 is the same feeling i had when i found out about santa when i was in 2nd grade.
its only a matter of time before some allegations pop up on that survivorman show too.
