    If Bear Grills, or whatever his name is got into trouble, think it would be reality? Hell no, he would be saved by the camera crew. Get real idiots. There is no such thing as reality tv. Just what they want you to think, and so many of you will believe

    Ok, but if he fellthrough a hole in the snow and couldnt get out, which probably happened on at least one occasion, do you think his crew would save him and not show it on tv? Answer=yes. Is that reality tv what they are showing on tv? Answer=no. Lets face it, reality tv is for people who just dont comprehend reality.

    i totally agree with you, but i just love how they call it "reality tv"...it's hilarious.
    plus, sometimes we just need a break from real reality so we watch this mindless garbage.

    Ok, I love your answer, true to the point. Just it aint for me. I want true reality, and I still get that off my big satellite dish, although, many of the feeds are now scrambeled as to not let the remianing viewers like me expose what is really going on.

    You have to give the guy credit because he is DOING the stuff. Even if it is planned out, he is still doing it. He sets his goal and achieves it. The guy is nuts.

    Close Call :eek:

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Adventurer Bear Grylls was surprised by a huge crocodile in Australia, navigated a shark-infested channel off Papua New Guinea and lost the ability to breathe while in free-fall at 30,000 feet during upcoming new episodes of Discovery's "Man vs. Wild."
    Yet it was a camera that almost did him in.

    Grylls needed to be airlifted from a mountainside in the Canadian Rockies with a badly damaged leg after a camera on a sled slammed into him, the most heart-stopping moment in seven new episodes of the series that starts on Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT.

    The enthusiastic survivalist had glissaded down a mountain, zipping down the snow on his backside, and stopped himself suddenly by using an ice pick. The camera following him didn't stop, missing Grylls'
    head and shoulder by inches before hitting him in the leg. It didn't break a bone, but came awfully close.

    Grylls should know. His career in the British military ended when he broke his back after a parachute failed following a jump from a helicopter. He moved into the lucrative world of TV adventure, where his never-flagging enthusiasm, willingness to eat virtually anything (sheep's eyeball, anyone?) and inventive use of common items such as shoelaces to survive
