Man vs. Wild vs. Lawyers

The Lawyers won, and Bear Grylls is fired!
Bear Grylls fired by Discovery Channel

This won't stop Bear from going on wild adventures and drinking his own piss. Only difference is that he won't get paid.

Laaaame. I knew Discovery channel weren't man enough for Bear.

Bear Grylls bows before Les Stroud.

That argument is stupid. The simple fact of the matter is that Bear is much more entertaining to watch than Les.

I disagree - Les is way funner imho.

You would think so.

Honestly, knowing Les is by himself and actually living in that situation, not to mention the fact that he confers much more practical advice in pretty much every episode of Survivorman has always made the show much more entertaining to me, and certainly far more fascinating. I liked Man vs. Wild as much as the next guy, but Les had the better show by far.

Maybe I'm biased though because quite frankly, anyone who can live in the woods for a year in Northern Ontario, simply by living off the land as pioneers did, and manage to do it with his wife without one of them killing the other or being eaten by a bear or charged to death by a moose is an absolute badass. And anyone who disagrees can spend a Canadian winter living in the woods. I'd say good luck to such a person, but statistically speaking I should probably just make a memorial donation in their name instead.
