Fuck Brown Vs Blaine! Mears Vs Grylls is where shit's at!

ciderman9000000 · 21st July 2008, 17:19

Grylls all the way.

Hectic · 21st July 2008, 17:22

Grylls is a little inbred who runs around eating live animals despite having a camera crew with him, and over several shows actually sleeping in their car because it was too cold.

Mears isn't as entertaining or daft. He's brilliant though, could probably make a xbox out of a tree if he had too.

Mears.

rimaldo · 21st July 2008, 17:23

it is a difficult one, i find grylls more entertaining but i think mears is better at what he does. i will have to go with grylls, any man who drinks the poo of elephants is alright by me.

Hectic · 21st July 2008, 17:25

Or am I thinking of survivorman? Either way, one of them cheats while Mears doesn't. Although now I think about it, Grylls is probably not the guy I'm thinking of.

ciderman9000000 · 21st July 2008, 17:30

Give the man a fucking hotel! Mears would poo his pants if he had to do any of this stuff!

grylls is the one who eats live animals. he does born survivor on discovery, e4, channel 4, more4, something else4. your right he is more entertaining than mears but not as good as him.

olesmyhero · 21st July 2008, 17:34

Survivorman is better. Not only does he get into crazy scenarios, he also does all the camera work himself. Which means he does twice the work the other guy does.

UBERScholes · 21st July 2008, 17:39

I liked Bear Grylls. But he looks like Clattenburg without the fat and with an irresistible accent, and it's annoying. I'm supposed to hate Clattenburg for his antics for the Scouse last season, but I can't watch him ref without being a little turned on

Now, bear in mind every other time he's killed and eaten an animal, they show everything that happens, in full gory detail. This includes eating worms, maggots and biting into a live trout so enthusiastically, that it's belly ruptured and sprayed entrails all over his face.

So when they cut away from the whole turtle/knife/neck-hole thing, you just knew that what happened next was seriously wrong.

Sure enough, when they cut back to (a visibly shaken) Bear Grylls, he was fecking covered in gore. I can't shake the image of him trying to drink blood out of a horrifically wounded turtle that was hosing him in claret, it's wee legs frantically peddling at the air, and the director going "Jesus Christ! Cut! Cut! Cut!"

classical.

you don't get that shit with Mears. Grylls >>>>>>>>>>> Mears

duffer · 21st July 2008, 18:02

Bear Grylls is a fraud. He's had to apologise for misleading viewers on his programmes (he pretended to be roughing it outside, turned the cameras off and fucked off to a hotel).

ciderman9000000 · 21st July 2008, 18:12

Don't Kill Bill · 21st July 2008, 18:15

I have met Ray Mears and he is a top bloke.Bear Grylls,what kind of a name is that anyway.Cheats and his survival tips are shite to be honest.

PeteReDevil · 21st July 2008, 18:21

Grylls

Stanley Road · 21st July 2008, 18:52

Mears has talent and can catch food with the machine guns he whittles from a birch tree

Grylls is entertaining but he eats shit and pukes a lot, that kind of defeats the object

Stanley Road · 21st July 2008, 19:00

From Whacky Peado

"Criticism
Following allegations that the show deceived viewers into believing that he was really stranded in the wild when he was not, Channel 4 temporarily suspended the show. Discovery aired re-edited episodes, designed to remove elements that were considered too planned, with a fresh voiceover, and has continued to broadcast the programme.

An adviser to the Man vs. Wild/Born Survivor series had claimed that Grylls had been staying at a California motel while filming. A crossing of a deep crevass was shown to be just yards from a busy highway.[25] Similarly, it was alleged that Grylls had stayed at a crew base-camp in the Costa Rican jungle, while giving viewers the impression that he was alone. These allegations were confirmed by Channel 4, who argued that it was not a documentary, but a 'how-to' guide to survival, implying that 'faked' or re-shot scenes were acceptable in that context

Anyone that kills animals for nothing but entertainment is sick, in my opinion. It's one thing killing for food, but killing things just for the sake of television is just wrong.

I hope he gets eaten by a bear.

bazalini · 21st July 2008, 20:12

The Thing with Grylls that gets me is that he talks as if he is some sort of veteran. He is only on 34 for feck sake.

Timothy Treadwell wins this easily. None of those other pansies have been brave enough to be eaten by a bear, part timers.

Ruben · 21st July 2008, 23:04

Grylls.

Lars Monsen is the bigger man all together though. He spent three years crossing Canada on his own using only his feet, skiis, a canoe and a sled. He`s a man`s man. Some funny stuff in his videos as well. Like when he "had to kill" the polar bear because it was chewing away at his shelter. When he films the dead bear though it`s lying about a hundred meters away, probably on it`s way back to where it came from. Also funny when he met a brown bear in the Canadian outback, and starts shouting at it in Norwegian. When the bear refuses to move, he switches to English! Like the fecking bear knows the difference.

Pogue Mahone · 22nd July 2008, 09:40

Just to stir things up a bit, I reckon this bloke is tougher than either of the English ponces discussed in this thread.

http://www.survivorman.ca/

He doesn't have Gryll's "wonder-knife" and bottomless water bottle, nor does he have Mears' plush camper-van to retreat to at sun-down for some medium rare veal and a nice bottle of Chateauneuf de Pape.

No water. No tools. No camera crew. Ave it.
