Anybody watching this brilliant show? I think Bear Grylls is absolutely perfect for the show, given his knowledge, bravery, and diet preference..

Isn't it staged?
Not too sure about it. I'm sure certain aspects has to be staged, especially when it comes to the rabbit kill, coincidentally finding animals and insects in his path, and water sources. However, it doesn't change the fact that the man's got guts aplenty.
There were some episodes where he got help. The Sahara one comes to mind. However, it was clear that this was arranged, and I never got the impression they have tried to lead me into thinking otherwise.
I must say I found these instances amusing. In reality, there are places where the chances of survival are close to zero, no matter how trained you are.
Sort of someone I know saw Grylls doing the outback Australia episode and a couple of hundreds metres behind the apparently lost Grylls and his camera man, was a catering van, tecnical support vehicle, medics etc.
Ain't nothing on Survivorman 
I remember my brother saying, he's seen Bear Grylls here in my place. Has any of you seen his shows confirm this?
"Creative" editing, to say the least.
Good timing on the bump, considering he was fired just now.
Despite "creative editing" and such on the show, Bear is still an amazing person - 12 months after being discharged from the hospital after breaking his back he climbed Mt. Everest at the age of 23. Youngest briton to have climbed Everest at the time.
I met him and listened to one of his lectures here in Norway this week, he's a very humble and down to earth person.

No doubt about that, the premise of the show was just a bit dishonest in the beginning.
Its a bit understandable if a few odd things are fixed.
Its a show at the end of it all ffs!

Pff, that's no excuse. Survivorman did everything "properly". He even had to carry around all the cameras!
