Bear Grylls

[LlcoolJ]

What a c##t. Just seen the prick on Jonathan Ross's show lying about hanging off a rock face with one hand while having a shit. Yeah, Jimmy Hill, chinny reckon. You don't actually climb at all so......

The guy has made a huge career out of total bullshit and people suck it up.

He can't climb, he's done nothing impressive in mountaineering, he was proved to be a liar about flying over Everest and doing "extreme survival" when he was actually staying in a nice hotel. He's just a lying dick.

How stupid have we become when a total charlatan like this can become massively rich and famous? It's very sad.

Anyone got tickets for his show? [emoji33]

Oh he's done it again.

He's confused cliff face with 5 star hotel - he is a silly sausage.

And he's not even called 'Bear.'

His real name is Edward. Not quite so f.ucking hard as going around calling yourself 'Bear'

His Gerber knife is a quality bit of kit to be fair.

"His"? As with everything, it's got **** all to do with him. He just got his name on it. £££

I like him.
I think a couple of you may have missed the point of his survival shows.

Please enlighten me on the point of anything he does.

 

[StonehamPark]

Please enlighten me on the point of anything he does.

If you genuinely can't see the point of anything he does, no amount of explanation from me could enlighten you.

If you don't like him due to his personality, fair enough.

The point of what he does is to further his own career and make himself lots of money. I was hoping you had some amazing "enlightening" revelation which would disprove this fact. The obfuscation of your post is similar to his career. I obviously "don't get it"* or something.

If Bear Grylls could grill bears, how many bears could Bear Grylls grill?

None, because the first one would eat the c#nt.

 

[KT17]

I met him once, he seemed quite a down to earth guy. They say he stays not in horrendous mountain-ledge bivouacs but 5-star hotels - but does one believe what it says in the press?

Fair point.

It's not what it says in the press, it's what he says himself. The bloke makes out that he's a top climber and mountaineer. He's not. He's a liar. He's never climbed anything difficult or done anything impressive in the mountains. I started the thread because I just saw him blatantly lying again on tv. "Hanging off a rock face with one hand..." He's never done this, it's bullshit.

You seem very sure he is lying, I have no opinion about him either way but am curious to how you are so sure he is a charlatan?

 

[OzMike]

I have never got the Bear Grylls thing and to this day just don't understand what the fascination is.
It has all been bullshit from day one, I originally thought that the whole thing was a piss take when I first saw it and was surprised to find out that it was supposed to be serious.
I thought the same with the 'Susanne and Trinny' fashion show thing as well, when I had the misfortune to come across it, thought they were both supposed to be a parody type programs.

Let me guess he drinks his own piss for 90 minutes while his staff of 50 people look on adoringly. Survival expert my arse.

You have my vote based on that excellent phrase alone.
At school the saying Chinderella was used in ref to Jimmy when anyone smelt bullshit.

Likewise. Both my boys are in scouting and he flew into an activity day at Longhill School a couple of years ago. Kids loved seeing him come in via helicopter. He then spent a couple of hours working with the kids on the activities and talking to leaders and parents. Seemed perfectly pleasant and down to earth to me.

Really not sure what the problem is ? He's an entertainer, of course he does it for money, why not ? Equally the 'fake' tag seems harsh - Paul Daniels used to make Debbie McGee disappear - we all knew it wasn't real. David Blaine does some incredible stuff but is he called a fake because it's all a trick and not real ?

He's the outdoor version of Nigel Slater.
