Discovery Channel fires Bear Grylls...!!

**Pathfinder1** · 03-13-2012, 19:17

I usually don't trek very far,
when all around Bear Grylls are.

Hi...

According to a spokesman for the Discovery Channel, The Hollywood Reporter was told that they have terminated "all current productions" with Grylls, apparently after trying to get him to participate in two projects that he was contracted to do.

So...waddya think of that?

Bring back the Canadian guy and forget Bear Brylls

Im sure he'll miss all those hotel stays after the camera shuts off.

I like both Les Stroud and Bear Grylls. They depict two different aspects of survival. Les is more about how to survive and Bear is more about how to reach to civilization. Both shows are great. It is sad that there will be no more Man VS Wild. I liked it very much but sometimes Bear's moves were way over the abilitis of a normal person and was too Dramatic.

I agree completely two different shows with two different points. Bear was more for show and to demonstrate extremely unlikely situations. Les was more reality based but consider the following. Due to regulations imposed by "hollywood", or whatever powers that be in the production of television programs, even Les Stroud was required to have a crew on hand for safety reasons. I can guarantee that support was never more than a few miles away for Les on his "adventures". As far as Bear Grylls is concerned I give him mad respect for having the physical ability that he has. I could only hope to be able to pull myself hand over hand up a rope on a 100' cliff face. I will miss his show if his termination is in fact true.

Don't worry, I'm one of those non-television types too, and I can't stop myself from mentioning it whenever I get the chance. Wait, did I just do it again? Drat!

Pretended to survive in the wild. Demonstrated risky techniques that would get you killed.

Yeah,True. I am one of the people who followed one of Bear Grylls risky techniques and was killed.

I like Les Stroud, but anyone can eat scorpions when starving out on your own.
It takes a real man to such water out of elephant dung when the camera crew has gatoraid and beer a few yards away.

**streetgang** · 03-13-2012, 21:57

I like Les Stroud too but Bear is a former British SAS operator. He doesn't have to prove anything to me.

**Carbo** · 03-13-2012, 22:28

They should change those survival themes to putting someone in a big city with no money, no phone, etc., and seeing how long it takes to get back to the wilderness.

**pdcolelli42** · 03-13-2012, 22:36

Lulz! You should pitch that idea to discovery. I'd love to watch that show.

**Wise Old Owl** · 03-13-2012, 22:38

on the other hand he taught how to save your own ass.
