Man vs. Wild, the television show that proved to be something less than the life-or-death struggle it was portrayed to be, returned to the Discovery channel last night with a disclaimer:
He and the crew receive support when they are in potentially life-threatening situations, as required by health and safety regulations.
The shows have also added fresh voice-overs by star Bear Grylls to avoid misleading the viewer into thinking he was staying alive and enduring harsh environments with only a knife, a flint and maybe some water, as he claimed in the beginning of each episode.
Hollywood Reporter played couch potato during a four-hour mini-marathon last night as Mr. Grylls revealed that he didn’t actually catch that rabbit in the Scottish highlands, rappel down that Mexican canyon without safety gear, sleep in a jungle in Ecuador or build a complex shelter in a tree in Florida’s Everglades without any help whatsoever.
