Bear Grylls a faker?
I wish it wasn’t so, but I found a blog stating that some of the stunts were staged. Here is the Simple Hiker article as well as the BBC News Article. Apparently he had some help and didn’t even spend all the nights he claimed in the wilderness. While I thought that the whole show was a bit on the dramatic side, I never thought that it would be fake. He is definitely more man than anyone else, but faking it is really disappointing.
The article goes on to claim that this show is not a documentary but more of a how to guide. I realize that he does have a support team with him the entire time so I never thought that if it got too hairy that he wouldn’t get bailed out. His coolness scale just dropped quite a bit due to the misleading that he is on his own battling the elements. Well maybe next season he will not compromise the show and actually make it more real. For now I will have to switch over to survivor man. He seems to be the real deal. However maybe I’ll find an article about him. Only time will tell. Maybe I could convince him to let Campman sponsor his show and make him do it for real.
