So ya I love this show and a few days ago LG dropped a bomb on my happy world, my hero Bear has ben unfaithful in some of the things he did in his show.

well He is still cool in my book and from what I've read around the net discovery is reediting the show and making it more transparent, not sure exactly how or what, but I'm guessing they will say he had a life vest on what. http://img.waffleimages.com/349619c908a ... VD_013.JPG

I remember seeing the horse episode and lmao it was so fake. Watch Survivorman instead, it has always been better.

aint nothing fake about the live bugs, fish, frogs he eats. for that i think i can live with him having some assistance from his camera guys. i still wouldnt trade jobs with the guy tho

Yeah. Obviously, with a camera crew tagging along none of these shows can be totally "real" and things like this probably have happened or will happen in all of these shows, it's just this one has had that occur first.

Well that's the appeal of Survivorman: He's the camera crew in addition to his survival duties. Granted there's still opportunity for shenanigans if they really wanted to do so, but it adds to the plausibility.
