To think Bear Grylls is a smug-faced arse?

[Penguinsaresmall]

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.

YANBU, he is appalling.

I would ride Backshall like I stole him.

YANBU. He is smugger than a smug thing.

I watched one of his mountain survival programmes and saw ski lifts in the background. Why drink your own piss when you can walk over to the resort?

He's just meh.
Ray Meares is meh.
They're all a bit meh. But if I was stuck in the wilderness with one I'd probably go with Bear. He looks a bit more like he could navigate to the nearest chip shop (although Ray has obviously done so more than once). I can't get over the fact he would have stinky piss breath though.

I know someone who shagged Ray Mears
there is quite a list - the spectacular ffyona being the one who got him onto the telly of course

I know someone who shagged Ray Mears

Now that's a story I'd like to hear

I've met two of his exes - one being ffyona (only in passing) the other I see a couple of times a year

YANBU. And any programme that gives Jamelia air time needs boycotting, imo.

What has Jamelia done?

Omg the way that man speaks! He could make the most mundane thing seem like an exciting adventure. There I was flicking through channels last night when I got an eyeful of bear stark naked plunging into a frozen lake wtaf? Wonder how many times he was dropped on his head as a baby?!

Barbarella yy.
I'm joshing around really with the dirty talk.I very much respect that he has a strong marriage,children,and no sleazy stuff going on.
I think he's s good role model and able to show a bit of understanding and a few deeper layers than your average celeb.
I don't really care if he's popped off to a hotel (perhaps to see/phone his kids?) now and then tbh.

That increases his appeal dramatically.

The faking thing was him roping 'wild' horses, which had shoes on. I know because any time Bear Yes I Would Grylls is mentioned in this house, DH brings that up. TBF I constantly reminded him of Rachel Weisz' terrible plastic surgery.

Bear loves himself a bit too much for my liking (the constant arse flashing gets weary after a bit imo!).

He's like the Stock, Aitken and Waterman version of Ray Mears .

He's the Happy Shopper Ray Mears.

His deep and meaningful man chat with Ben Stiller about his kids was cringe worthy!

I had to ring the Scouts once about Bear's inappropriate behaviour. Also I know he has someone to test stuff out for him before he does it himself. He is a laughing stock in our family.

Thatbloodywoman, yes, in his book he explains the hotel - he had a break in filming and met his wife and kids for a night

You don't get through SAS training if you're not the real deal, real man wise

Yes,I thought I'd read that Barbarella.

If he painted a thin moustache on himself and wore a blue stripy bathing cap hed look like Sportacus from Lazytown!

Im getting a bit of a gilrle crush on Emilia Fox I must say, liking her a lot, very kind to Jamelia.

Kelly Holmes already putting her oar in and forgetting dhe had to overcome her fear of water so why get at Jamelia? Thought J did well to get on the gorse and not do a Helen Flanagan as I thought shed be like that.

Trenz I can never never never unsee that. Goes to scrub mind out with a brillo pad...

.

I like Rosenthal too, wonder what the Queen thinks of her granson-in-law doing the ski thing and this?

I can never watch any of his Solo Tough Guy Survival Stunts without being aware that every time he abseils down a waterfall with a handmade knife between his teeth, there's a camera and sound crew doing the same thing backwards while operating complex recording equipment without the glory.

I always imagine they think he's a bit mollycoddled and pampered, and probably refer to him as Baby Bear or Imelda among themselves.

Rat, yes, to the crew doing everything he does under more difficult circumstances and without the glory - even my DSs have picked up on that
I do think he known his survival stuff and has found a way to make it pay big time, so good luck to him tbh. I can think off worse people to be stuck in the jungle with - although I may decline some of his dinner offerings

Not quite the same but I use to love watching The Tribe programme with Bruce Parry, he really got stuck in, and you use to see his film crew too.

'If he painted a thin moustache on himself and wore a blue stripy bathing cap hed look like Sportacus from Lazytown!'

Sportacus/Magnus is way hotter than that smarmy Bear.

Bruce was more of a team player.
