Bear Grylls ‘Man vs Wild’ Season 3 Premieres Friday 9pm EST
Even though there was a lot of criticism of the show because the show wasn’t “100% real”. It was confirmed that Grylls had stayed indoors during some of his expeditions, although the show had depicted him spending the night in the wilderness.
I like the show a lot and always wondered if they would come out with behind the scenes material. I’m sure a lot of people wanted to know how and if they could do the same survival techniques. Because a lot of people wanted to know more about it, they found out that some of it was staged. Now if you see the repeats, Bear does a voice over during the show stating what was real and what was staged.
It’s still a great show. Even I knew that some things had to be “set up” or else the show would be boring.
“I think the new shows will reassure them,” Grylls says of the upcoming season. “Everything is strong and double-checked. Discovery is so cautious of everything. If I so much as break wind on these shows, it’s acknowledged now.”
“I hope they go down well,” Grylls says. “I think the irony is that people are going to enjoy seeing more behind the scenes. It’s going to make the whole program better.”
