I thought you people may be as excited as me for the new season of Born Survival.
Bear Grylls is back to show what it takes to survive the blistering heat, deadly sand storms and lack of food and water in one of the most hostile places on earth: The bloody Sahara!
This guy is seriously amazing, he devours scorpions a deadly scorpion and raw goat’s testicles, drinks water from camel’s stomach (or something like that). If you don’t believe me, just check the Bear Grylls's Video on You Tube called "Born Survivor - Sahara Desert" .It does not disappoint!!!!!
To be honest, I have found it really disgusting. I don’t know if would be able to do what he would do to survive! What about you? Would you do it?
I hope you realise that he faked parts of Born Survivor. Les Stroud is tons better. He not only survives alone but he has to carry all his own camera equipment too. There's no doubting Bear is a tough bloke. He's ex-army and knows his stuff - but the production of his show really fucked him over. It will take a lot to win me back after watching 2 seasons of Survivorman.

Bear Grylls has a cool name but he has nothing on Ray Mears, the original and best.

Ray Mears sucks balls, I watched him on the channel now known as Dave, and all he did was state the obvious, "Lack of water can make you very ill and could kill you if you don't find a good source"... well duh.
I liked the episode of Born Survival where Bear jumped into an ice cave with only a rope to hold on to, which could have given way.

Ray Mears is awesome because he knows everything, but doesn't brag like Bear Grylls. He is just like, "if I was out here with no food, I'd probably kill a lion with my bear hands, make a canoe with it's bones, a warm coat with it's fur and some food with the meat. No biggie"
Bear is all like "I'd get my production assistant to book me into a nice hotel then eat lots of nice food from the minifridge and max out room service then I'd hire a stunt co-ordinator to help me show you what you could do if you were lucky enough to have crash landed in a hotel." Then there would be a pointless parachute scene.

I suggest a fight to the death between Ray Mears and Bear Grylls.
On second thoughts, there's no point; Ray Mears would clearly win within about five minutes.

Once, and this is a true story, Bear Whatsisface wanted to show what to do if chased by a bear, so he walked round for a bit trying to find an angry bear, time passed, he hadn't found one, so, in the end, one of the camera crew dressed up as a bear and chased him.
Also, the man is just a plain idiot, once when I was watching it he climbed down a waterfall for no apparent reason.
so, anyway, the point of all that is
Ray Mears > all

Ray Mears = Win
Bear Obviously Fake Name = Lose
'Nuff said.
Bear is an arrogant twat. Ray Mears just does what he does and doesn't brag.
