Will Ferrell on Man vs. Wild?

[_chuchu]

Saw the commercial for this. I know all bout Grylls being found out and whatnot, but has it affected the ratings so much that they need to resort to getting a better celebrity to give the show a boost? I'm still somewhat hesitant to watch the show unless Grylls gets replaced by Ferrell.

More like they're using it as a chance to advertise Land of the Lost, less than a week before it comes out.

I missed it, what was "found out" with respect to Bear?

I am curious

The whole thing about him staying at like a Motel 6 rather than staying out in the wild

Or just being remotely close to one taking away from the cred or "reality" of the show

Didn't that come out a long time ago and it did not effect the show because everyone does realize the guy is bad ass and he could stay in the wild if he wanted and even if he doesn't sleep out every night he still does some crazy stuff and shows crazy survival techniques?

Or you could just watch Survivorman. That guy is alone just has cameras with him, no camera people.

Man v. Wild has never had the illusion that it is 'real'. Bear is a former Special Forces operative in the British army, so he's the real deal.

I'll watch this one, I think that it will be somewhat entertaining.

Survivorman is definitely the better show, unfortunately there are no more new episodes.

Yeah it gets pulled up often, ppl take shit as being real lol. It's the equivalent of thinking less of a Navy seal because he snorkels and trains in a 6' deep pool and shoots blanks at dummys and not live targets. Doesn't make it any less grueling and real.
