Well I voted for Bear Grylls. I don't care how fake he is, it's all about the entertainment value when I turn on that tv. The 'survival tips' are useless to me as I doubt I'm going to find myself having to swim across the Amazon, climb up steep cliffs or cross icy Siberia on foot. So it all comes down to making it look dramatic and entertaining as possible, and that's what Bear does.

On the other hand, that 'Survivorman' guy is dead boring. He has no personality, it's just Discovery channel's way of cashing in on the genre and capturing the zombie audience out there who will watch anything - even if it's dull as fuck and they'll never find themselves in these positions anyway.

Lowest common denominator bullcrap. Even Man Vs Wild reruns are not so exciting watching second or third time around, because you've seen it all before. If I was to be honest, perhaps the best show of them all was 'Worst Case Scenario' - sure it was sensationalised to hell but and aimed at the prime time popcorn-eating masses but shit at least it was exciting.
