Maybe, according to this link he sometimes spends the nights in hotels and doesn't always build the things they show him building, like that raft with the palm leaf sail.

He isn't alone either...
There's a camera crew with him, and they need to fly equipment in and out every once in a while...
Horrors! I'm shocked! Shocked that TV would take liberties with the truth!
-
There's a camera crew with him,
He says he will have a camera crew with him at the beginning of every show, so that's no surprise.

Whodathunkit? :O
-
He says at the beginning of the show that while he does have a camera crew, they are not allowed to help or interact with him in any way, unless he is dying or about to die. I can tell some of his shots are staged, along with some being overly dramatic.
-
it's a TV show.
-
LOL...of course he sleeps in hotels....the entire show is filmed by a film crew....he is never alone. It is a show about how to survive....each show runs a credit of the survival consultant for the show. If anyone thinks he does all that stuff from his experience, you must think McGiver is real.
Anyway, it's not a bad show. Might actually learn something.
I think SurvivorMan is slightly more about being alone, for real.
-
why does almost everyone on my telly have a english accent, even the commercials? "i haave to find waahta"
-
i like survivor man.
watched man v. wild earlier today for the first time and thought that it was probably half staged.
-
Survivorman is his own camera crew. I dig the Canuck instead.
Man v. Wild is a hack. One show Bear was in some deep woods area in the northwest. He came to a river and wanted to float in the current for faster travel. He went on for a few minutes of how dangerous this stunt was... then out of nowhere he says, "I just happened to find this big black garbage bag which I will now use as a flotation device!" - The very next shot has him going over some pussy rapids with a life preserver clearly under his jacket.
Ever notice he always seems to be out of breath? wtf?!
-
it was the fake black bear scratches on a tree in the everglades that did it for me.
it looked like it had been cut out with an exacto knife.
perhaps they had just deepened a real set of scratches, but it was obviously either made from scratch or extremely enhanced.
then he goes and jumps chest deep in a mud pit to demonstrate how to get out...uh huh.
but all in all, okay...if it teaches skills...im okay with that.
(the blood spattered shirt, post-turtle slaughter, was a nice dramatic touch.)

ok i still watch , but I lost respect for him when he drank his own pee in Australia .. and then we find out its the rainy season and if he had waited a couple of hours he could have had all the rainwater he wanted!!!
of course it probably really wasn't pee but still...
-
Ahh too bad to see that...I've enjoyed the handful of episodes I have been able to catch.
More and more of these Reality Shows are turning out to be not-so-real.
-
of course it probably really wasn't pee but still...
It was probably Gatorade the film crew gave him. :lol
-
Wait, McGyver isnt real, Dammit, I've always wanted to try escaping from a refrigerator using nothing but a light bulb, a length of twine and the cooling properties........sheesh....(I'm always getting locked in fridges obviously)........
The worst bit on that man vs wild show was when he was walking across somewhere in Kenya, and drank the fluid from an elephant poo......lol.......

Search for that clip on google and watch it closley. After one of the cuts you can see hand prints on his shoulders hehe.
And please, never drink your own urine. Yes it is "safe" but it will actually dehydrate you even further (high salt content).
-
Drinking your own urine is not safe. It can and will cause kidney failure. The urea in urine is what causes the damage.

By "urea", you're talking about Ammonia right?

Thats what's so refreshing (in a reality TV sort of way) about "Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School." No scripting required. Just fill the room full of skanks and let the fun begin :)

did somebody say roomfull of skanks?!
:cool:
-
One could imagine Bear parachuting onto the set of Charm School, and trying to survive the encounter. He usually ends up having to eat some pretty nasty stuff to survive...

OMFG! In looking at the BIOs (http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/charm_school/118031/episode_characters.jhtml) on the VH1 site Charm School may be faked too!
Buckwild comes at ya straight outta Upland, yo! Upland, of course, being as whitebread of a suburban California neighborhood as they come. But that don't faze Buckwild, who is down for keepin' it real, dawg, no doubt! It's all material for her stand-up comedy routine where she promotes herself as "the blackest white girl in America." Buckwild says it's not all an act, though; she digs rap, hip-hop and kicking back with a 40 while she's chilling in her Upland crib. But her housemates on Flavor of Love 2 think she's whiter than she claims, especially after her ebonic accent went south after she walked off the show when New York moved in as a surprise contestant. Now Buckwild is in Charm School to see whether Buckwild is the real deal or whether it's all just an act.
:furious Is nothing sacred anymore! Next you'll be telling me wrestling is rigged.

I did notice, on more than one occasion, when he is climbing down something dangerous, they use a green rope, fairly well hidden... Had to TIVO it a few times to find it after I thought I spotted one.
Still - it's educational and generally pretty entertaining.
