Wasn't that bad, basically a two days camping trip with Bear and a celebrity.

He has in his line up Leon Sandcastle, Ben Stiller, Tom Arnold, Tamron Hall, Channing Tatum.

Nah, you're getting those guys all mixed up. The guy who got killed by the sting ray was the guy who "crikey, look how beautiful this guy is. He's deadly though, so you have to be careful around them. I'm going to swim right up next to him and take a good look at him."

Bear Grylls is the guy who "these suckers stab you with their tail. You need to avoid them. But, just in case you get stabbed by one, I'm going to show you what to do. Fortunately, I'll be able to go to the hospital tonight and sleep it off in a 5 star hotel when we get done filming."

edit: not to be confused with Les Stroud: "it's going to be hard to sleep tonight, knowing there are manta rays out there that want to stab me with their tail. I think I'll play the harmonica. <next morning> wow, that shelter I built last night sucked for the following reasons... I'm soooo tired from carrying my cameras to take those distant shots of the manta rays."

Also not to be confused with these guys: guy1: "This fucking hippie is pissing me off. Back when I was a SEAL we'd eat manta rays, and he just wants to admire them." guy2: "...not sure even my leathery barefeet are tough enough to protect me from that manta ray's barb. What an awesome creature. Let's go eat a cactus."

Hey! That hippy got fired. They brought in a very less annoying hippy. He wears shoes, isn't fat as fuck, and doesn't mind killing things.

Bear was always the most entertaining of the bunch, though I like him better when he works solo, rather than having a celebrity along for the ride.

the rope crossing thing with zac was retarded. You could clearly see they weren't showing a particular camera angle, since it would have shown that they could have just walked around instead of crawling on the rope.

dumb.

they replaced both guys...the hippy guy was actually the latter of the original 2 to get "fired"

I take it you've never seen Bear Grylls before, that's his thing. Efron even pointed out during the show as soon as he saw the rope that they were just going to cross it, practicality be damned.

His TV debut might have started about survival, but it quickly turned into mostly nonsense, and the titles have even changed to accurately reflect it. It's "Running Wild", not "Practical Tips and Advice for Surviving the Wild".

I didn't know that. I thought that specials forces guy was always in it with the fat hippy. I've only seen episodes with those two (plus the new episodes with the new hippy guy, who is much more likable, even if he doesn't wear pants).

This show is basically two celebrities going out on a camping trip? Why would I even want to care to watch this festering load of shit?

Ray Mears is far better than any of them.

I get actual useful advice and tips for when I go camping; like one I just watched on YouTube about a Swedish tent fire thing, which I'm going to make for my morning coffee on my next trip.

Well, I call it a camping trip, but it includes the usual jumping out of planes, snakes killing, worms eating, sleeping in caves Bear's antics, etc...

If you watch Man vs Wild, Bear does all that, and more.

Awesome at building bad shelters, not finding enough food, playing the harmonica, and whining about carrying his camera equipment. All you need to last a couple of weeks is water; that's about all he accomplishes. Demonstrates minimal knowledge of edible plants, etc.
