3. “This is day 12 after the crash. I’m reduced to drinking what little muddy water I can find in creek beds and eating a few plants that don’t look too dangerous. I’m feeling weak and dehydrated and kinda sick. I’ve lost weight. It’s getting hotter and I don’t know if I can make it another – what? – 80 miles to the road? I’m so sunburned; my skin is dry and peeling! My lips are cracked and bleeding. Blisters…”

   “But my cameraman seems fine! I don’t know how he manages it. Where is he getting food and water? Why isn’t he sunburned and all dried out? I don’t get it. He keeps encouraging me to ‘overcome the pain’ and keep moving. Even his clothes are clean and he hardly ever sweats! So bossy. I hate him! I’m gonna make him eat that bloody camera he keeps shoving in my face! Bastard!”

   “Cut! Cut that last part out about the camera man, okay? Bob, you’re getting delirious in this sun. Okay, everyone, take ten. Water and ice over here for Bob. He’s about had it. Sit down, Bob.”

4. Grylls’ show gave me a lot of laughs about the “bad advice” he gives out, as noted in the Weird History video.

5. “Dude, You’re Screwed” is sketchy, too. But at least it’s funny.

6. Never saw the attraction. Fake distress doesn’t amount to a hill of beans and if it’s produced and on the TV it’s fake. Right Brian Jennings? What was the name of the ‘news man’ who faked tge GWB military reserve crap? That guy too.

7. That was more than likely Dan Blather.
