Has Bear 'jumped the shark' ??


Bear rocks. Great show. Very entertaining. Really the only show I currently watch consistently. But has the show jumped the proverbial shark this latest season?

First, there was the episode with Will Farrell. Couple of chuckles but overall a bit of a downer. Then, last night, there was the whole behind-the-scenes episode.

Now, we all know he has a crew with him but last night's episode really took us out of that fantasy world and showed us reality. The whole subjective vs objective viewpoints clashed and we were no longer alone in the wild with Bear.

I know people will disagree with this (and that's fine). I just hope Bear hasn't run out of ideas/ places to explore because it is a great show and I look forward to it each week when its on.

There is sort of a finite amount of scenarios he can do. After awhile he will need to transition it to something else, like an adventure type show kind of like Digging For the Truth, if he wants to keep going.

Or he could try to do a "survivorman-esque" show to prove that he can survive without having an active on-site crew.

I can't wait for Michael Bay to direct Care Bears. Using real bears so it can be more realistic.

But then he wouldn't be able to do all the risky *beep* that people watch for.

I should've said a special... The guy spent a few days with will ferrell... that's way beyond shark jumping territory... But seriously he needs to do a survivorman-esque episode just to prove that he can.

How about taking real people out into the wild to see how much they can learn?

You mean like Les Stroud's Survive This? Bear took Will Ferrell on that special. That kinda counts as Bear taking real people out into the wild... unless Will Ferrell is not a real person.
Wait a second, I know!! Survivorman Vs. Wild!! All of the haters who post on this board should have to either put up or shut up: They should get instruction from Bear or Les on how to survive and then either prove themselves or die!!
This is ridiculous! First of all They would not endanger the lives of the "contestants" because of insurance reasons... so the dying part is out. How about having the Bear Cheerleading Squad participate. Let's see them surviving emulating their hero Bear Grylls.
You know that 99.999% of the braggarts who post on this page are piece of shít losers and liars who would be sobbing in 20 minutes if they were dropped into the locations where Les and Bear have been.
Ooh! namecalling... what a deep argument... So, which part of the 99.999% are you? 20 Minutes? Seriously? Nightfall is when the panic would hit.

Then why are you on this page if you hate the show?
Is that really your best argument to his post. What about the fact that in one sentence he says you're an idiot for namecalling (braggart) during a "deep argument", and in the next sentence he namecalls Bear fans the Bear Cheerleading Squad.

What about when he calls you ridiculous and then obnoxiously says "they would not endanger the lives of the "contestants" because of insurance reasons" and then says he thinks the Bear Cheerleading Squad should participate instead. Wouldn't that be just as ridiculous?

You know kek, maybe you should become a 'troll' so then you won't embarass other Bear fans with your weak arguments. Tip: Never ask the crazies on here 'why they are on this page if they don't like the show'. You'll always get the same answer. Plus its a sign of weakness. It makes you seem like you're giving up. Like Bear says, "you need to commit".

You're worthless.

I'd be screaming. Not sobbing, but screaming... if you catch my drift..... only if I was in the wild with Bear.... other than that you're right.

You want me to see the message I wrote? That's the only message above the message you just posted. Oh, you mean the one about trolls? If so then you should read my second ever post entitled Bear Grylls Photos. In case you don't want to go there, I'll quote my post right here for you:

Hahahaha! Troll in here? So ... because I am sticking up for Bear and wanting to discuss Bear Grylls in a Bear Grylls forum, that means I'm a troll? Wouldn't it be the idiots who went around bashing Bear in a Bear Grylls forum be the trolls?

I created an account to show my scandalous photos and talk about Bear, which I did. Maybe I'll dress up in a bear costume and he can eat my *beep* hahaha! Then I'll post them for you.

I love Bear, BITCH, get over it. The reason I haven't posted anywhere else is because I don't need to. I only watch Man Vs Wild, all day long, in the dark, masturbating. It's the way I roll. Don't like it, don't come over to my house.


So there.

This is not the Man vs. Wild Fansite. So both like and dislike comments are allowed. I love the show, but I dislike the blatant disregard for the survival manuals for coolness factor when Bear is supposedly "teaching you (the viewers) what to do to survive in places that you (the viewers) wouldn't last a day without the proper skills.
Re: Will Ferrell, and being a real person: Handholding a celebrity wasn't exactly what I had in mind for such an episode.
But that's what you'd get in the end. You can't toss people in the wild without proper knowledge, tools, skills, etc. and expect them to survive. Pretty much because of said insurance issues. I still stand that if this were to be made it should be Team "Bear" vs Team "Les".

Furthermore, you're taking a lot of what I said WAAAY too seriously. What I said was meant to be (Number 1) a joke, and, (Number 2) a comment on the haters more than a plan for producing future episodes.
Who said that I'm taking it seriously? You posted I replied. That's all. I wasn't even taking it seriously...

Lousy trolls...too bad there isn't a page where everyone could go complain about you.
are you calling me a troll? Cause the only one trolling here would be you. (as in you came called half of the posters here and I quote:"piece of **** losers and liars who would be sobbing in 20 minutes if they were dropped into the locations where Les and Bear have been.")

SHHHH!!! kek believed that I was being serious... Are you sure that I'm the buzzkill??? Looks like we're even now. BTW I did not call kek an idiot... Looks like I won't be your buzzkill anymore...

Question: Are you drunk?
Yes. Always.

Uh, no, you moron, it wasn't; I meant the one above the one that the link in your email brought you to. There was another message that you overlooked in your stupidity. Thankfully, smarter people and the technology they create can do some of your thinking for you.
Precious, you are a moron for two reasons. I was making fun of you my asking if you wanted me to look at my own post. See, when you say see above message, you need to mean it. I wouldn't say see above message and expect you to know that I mean the second one posted. And you are a moron because technology has absolutely nothing to do with me looking at the correct message. Don't use big words unless you know what they mean. And clearly, I knew exactly which message you meant, which is why I replied to it. Nice try, but you're the moron.


You are such an idiot, or, otherwise, I should have sympathy for your feeble-mindedness. I would hope that the second should be true, for your sake. Take a look again at the post you're citing... here it is, in it's form contemporary to the time that I copied and pasted it:

How about taking real people out into the wild to see how much they can learn?

t...t...t...t...tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrdddddddd!!!!!!


What the hell man? Did you mean to quote that entire thing? This makes absolutely no sense.



I dunno...I think you might be sayin' that you'd be homo gaggin' on Bear's dick. No?


Okay, I really don't even know what to say to this. First of all, if I was a 'homo gaggin' on Bear's dick', and I openly posted that I wanted to 'gag on his dick' on this message board, why would I be insulted by you calling me a homo? Clearly, I'm loud and proud about wanting to 'gag on his dick' so I wouldn't care if you found out my secret. See, I wouldn't be insulted, but you're grasping at straws so you had you go for an insult that you think would hurt me if I happened to be a man. Well, sweetheart, I'm not a man. So ha ha.


Regarding the next part of your previous post...I can only assume that you are insane, because it was so contradictory that it had no inherent consistency of theme.
Okay, maybe I can help you with this. If you can find out what the definition of a hypocrite is, you'll know what I'm saying. Once you find out what that means, you might be able to understand that. And, hey, I was just trying to help you out. You were making a fool of yourself and I thought I would give you some pointers.


Believe me, I will have more to say later. I just can't waste time on this now.
I'm sure you will. But please don't say anything else unless you're absolutely sure you make sense and you're 100% positive you know what you're talking about. I think you're a little confused about both of my posts. Try taking on only one post at a time. You're less likely to mess up and embarrass yourself.

Sucka.
