Bear Grylls would
Before I started this blog, I had amassed a bunch of different t-shirt designs. One of those designs was to have a picture of a grub on the front and on the back the words "Bear Grylls would." After reading this article, however, maybe a picture of a nice fluffy bed would have been better. Rumors have swirled for months now about how Bear had outside help during some scenes in the Discovery Channel hit series Man vs. Wild and even spent some nights in hotel rooms when it appeared he had spent the night in the wild. On Monday, Discovery Channel started to air re-edited versions of the series with a disclaimer and voiceovers from Bear pointing out when he received help.
While I do feel a little duped, the fact remains that the guy squeezed water out of elephant poop, boiled a sheep's eyeball and ate it, and sunk his teeth into fish that was alive three seconds prior (more than once). In my book, that's riveting television, and the most contrived episode of Man vs. Wild is still better than the absolute best episode of Grey's Anatomy. So I'll still be tuning in, and I hope you will too.
