It should come as no surprise that I love the Discovery Channel and everything that is associated with it. I'm not sure why this is but I just do. Whether it be Survivor Man, Mythbusters, Planet Earth, Man vs. Wild, or one of my favorites Dirty Jobs.
I just watched probably the most disturbing Man vs. Wild yet. I'm not sure what Bear Grylls intent is but it seems with each successive episode, that he's out to prove something more disgusting. Now he's already been to the Sahara dessert once, so I'm not sure why anyone in their right mind would want to go back, but of course he did.
So far in this one episode he killed a goat and ate the testicles of it, ate a highly poisonous snake, disemboweled a camel that was dead for at least 3 days and ate the meat and fat from it and used it as a bed, not to mention he drank the water from inside its carcase and squeezed the water from the partially digested food in one of its three stomachs, and then caught a frog and just bit its head off, while it had been hopping around seconds before. Oh and not to mention scaled a 500+ ft vertical cliff only to free climb it back up to get out of the valley. So how exactly does his camera crew follow him and allow him to not use any ropes? I'm thinking they have a pretty good editing team. Did I mention the average daily temperate is 130 degrees F.
Like I said, I'm not sure what he's out to prove, if he wants an award I'm sure I can give him some type of medal but what's the point. To end the episode he miraculously was walking in the right direction the entire time and happened to stumble upon a tiny village. Now I've heard this guy sleeps in hotels or basically not in the elements at night, but some of the places this guy goes don't exactly have 5 star hotels nearby.
Ok gotta run, now he's off to Panama, can't wait to see what he stuffs in his mouth in this episode.
