To think Bear Grylls is a smug-faced arse?

And that his real name is probably Julian. Or Terry.

Just had to switch channels after hearing him talk about 'journeys' for the 73rd time in one show.

i'd do Ray Mears all over the house and never give Bear Grylls a second glance...

Bear is the sort of person who would leave you to put up your own tent.

and to repeat a very old joke...he's not even a real bear. :o

Grin @ 'fat Cumberbatch'

Yeah, I don't really see the attraction there either.
Although I am sure they are all Very Nice Young Men

Once you introduce Steve Backshall into the equation, the whole argument falls apart. Bear Grylls has a weird face and looks a bit weedy. I would ride Backshall like I stole him.

Bear grylls is a smug twat and I'm so glad other people think that too. His nickname in my house is bear twatface and I refuse to watch anything he is in. He ate a live frog in the everglades just to show that he could. And then went back to stay in a hotel. If that isn't twatty behaviour I don't know what is.

Liked the show, Bear is a tit but will watch again.

I like Laurence and Emilia.

PacificDogwood · 21/02/2015 08:40

His NN here is The Grilled Bear Grin

Steve Backshall? I would ride him in to battle. Swoon.

RandomNPC · 21/02/2015 09:54

He's a posh twit.

shakemysilliesout · 21/02/2015 10:02

Snog Steve

Marry bear because he is rich rich rich.

I prefer Ben Fogle to the lot of them. Grin

RandomNPC · 21/02/2015 10:17

God no, not Ben Fogle.

Bear Grylls but real men barbecue Grin

They're all fakes apart from Ray Mears. He actually lives the life, it's a pity he makes Adrian Chiles look charismatic. Every time I see him on the TV, he's making another bloody canoe.

ThatBloodyWoman · 21/02/2015 12:41

1.Bear Grylls
2.Steve Backshall
3.Ben Fogle

funnyossity · 21/02/2015 12:58

Bruce Parry?

ThatBloodyWoman · 21/02/2015 13:02

Oooooo.
I could squeeze him between Ben and Les.
If thats ok.

Crocodopolis · 21/02/2015 13:04

YANBU.

MargotLovedTom · 21/02/2015 13:05

I'd rather have Kiosk Keith.

Barbarella · 21/02/2015 13:10

Oh, I like him! He's happily married, doesn't shag around AFAIK, loves his children and just seems decent. And kind.

He's a good role model Imo

Goldendandelion · 21/02/2015 13:14

Bear Grylls endorses Juice plus, that is enough to put me off him!

I'm pretty sure it was revealed that he had faked something on one of his programmes. I vaguely remember something about him buggering off to a hotel once the cameras switched off.

TalkinPeace · 21/02/2015 13:15

Daddy was a Tory MP, with rather dodgy business habits.

kennyp · 21/02/2015 13:25

bear grills is a complete knobhead. says me. what a patronising git. haven't even watched the programme but i watched the island one when he left those men with cameras and candy crush

grills features lives near marlborough apparently.
