Busted

Man vs. Wild the survivalist show that airs on Discovery channel featuring former British special forces officer Bear Grylls has been busted for being fake!The survivalist shows concept is that Bear and his camera are dropped in the harshest of environments with a flint and knife and he goes about showing viewers how to actually survive conditions.

A British station that airs the show made claims that instead of roughing it out totally during each episode, Bear and his crew actually on more than one occasion stayed at a motel.Then the magic of editing set in and made it to appear that he was still "in the wild".

Being a testosterone filled male I have watched the show a few times.Even though I wondered how an island boy like me would ever get stranded in places like the icy plains of Iceland, I thought the survival info was worth knowing.Once again reality bites!

The wave of so called reality shows has come to the point of ridiculous.Real life isn't that exciting all the time.Reality shows are pumped at as because it saves alot of production companies money by not having to pay writers but still collecting the same amount of advertisers' dollars.To air a show that writes itself.

I guess Bear Grylls found out the truth,real life isn't that easy.In order to entertain you have to use some theatrics.
