Super User .dsaavedra. Posted July 17, 2010 Super User Posted July 17, 2010 this is by far the absolute WORST "survival" show i have ever seen. even worse than Bear Grylls and "man vs. wild". it appears survival shows are now reality tv shows... i sure do miss Les Stroud. :-/ Quote

You might check out Dual Survival. It's a pretty good watch. Good tidbits of knowledge here and there. Quote

seyone Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Survivorman was awesome. Not interested in the rest. Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted July 17, 2010 Super User Posted July 17, 2010 Les Stroud and Chuck Norris have been in a continous arm wrestling match since Survivorman ended. Quote
Senkoman12 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 they don't put them in real world situations, i think dual survival is better, but by far the best was survivor man Quote
Captain Obvious Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Survivorman was awesome because the guy not only had to make it alone but also tap himself doing it. Quote
D4u2s0t Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 haven't seen this show, but I have to agree with the others that love survivorman. Quote
NateFollmer Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Survivorman was the original and the best. Grylls is fun to watch, but Les would pwn him if they got lost Dual Survival is funny to watch, I wait for the day they start swinging at each other! I have never watched Man Woman Wild but I bet it goes something like this (I saw previews at least): Man - "We need to find firewood before dark" Woman - "EEEWWW I'm not touching that stuff!" Man - "We need to cross this river" Woman - " EEEWWW I'm not going in that water!" Man - "Here are some edible plants" Woman - "EEEWW I'm not eating that" Woman 10 minutes later - "IM HUNGRY!" Quote

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted July 19, 2010 Author Super User Posted July 19, 2010 she cried three times during the episode... Quote
NateFollmer Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 she was also wondering when building a raft if a a heavy log will float Yes, and so will your bone head! Thanks for the info guys, I won't waste the time to watch this... Quote
Scorcher214 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Ya, Les Stroud was definitely the best. I kinda liked Bear Grylls but that's only cuz that dude is CRAZY. Did you ever see the one where he gave himself an enema? Quote

Did you ever see the one where he gave himself an enema? did you ever see the one where he did something stupid and totally unnecessary to get better ratings? his show was an entertainment show, not a survival show.

bigfruits Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 you guys are nuts. Bear is the sickest dude in the world next to Manny Puig. Quote
TheHammer84 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 It is terrible, the way the dude talks drives me up the wall as well. Dual Survival is the one to watch. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted July 26, 2010 Author Super User Posted July 26, 2010 It is terrible, the way the dude talks drives me up the wall as well. glad i'm not the only one! he has that crazy annoying tough-guy tone to his voice. it doesn't fit him at all and that can't be the natural way he talks. is there anywhere i can give this show a really terrible rating so discovery will cancel it? ;D Quote
rat-l-trapper Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Man woman wild is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. I can't watch more than 20 minutes before I have to change the channel. I thought dual survival looked lame, but I've started watching it and I really like it. I really want survivorman to come back, I love that show. It annoys me how they don't even play repeats anymore. Does anyone know why it was cancelled? Quote

It annoys me how they don't even play repeats anymore. Does anyone know why it was cancelled? from what i heard, les Stroud decided to call it quits back in 08 because he was tired of doing it. i think because he was tired of dragging all that d@mn camera equipment! so it wasn't really cancelled per-say Quote
Nick94 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 also i think he pulled the plug because on a tv show he was interviewed (cant remember the name of the tv show) and he said that it took weeks to recover from the starving and exposure. Quote
