The two hosts are complete DUMBASSES
Basically these shows are meant to give tips about surviving different environments that a traveler might get stuck in. Wether its a plane crash in the Everglades or a broken down motorbike in the Sahara, or the extremes of glaciers. Bear Grylls of the show Man vs. Wild and Les Stroud of the show Survivorman give you tips on what to do.
But instead of showing a danger and explaining how to help yourself, they put theselves in that danger and atemp (succesfully) to get out of it.
For example, on one episode of Man vs. Wild, Grylls shows a patch of quicksand. Everybody knows what quicksand is, but not many people know how to get out. So Grylls wants to show the viewers. So he says, and im paraphrasing here, "Here we have some quicksand. this stuff is really thick and if you get stuck and struggle too much, you will sink faster *jumps into the quicksand and starts wiggling* As you can see, the more i struggle, the more i sink *now hes up to his waist* Now when it gets up to your waist, getting out is really hard, so im gonna struggle EVEN MORE to show how to get out"
Basically you get a stick and belly crawl out. He could have said the underlined sentence, but nooooo. He had to be all dramatic and scare the shit out of me.
Then tonight, hes in some glacial area, and finds this hole in the ice nd walks in. He goes on to state that it moves at 6 feet per day (which isnt a good defence for the people who think global warning is crap, but thats another topic) and he says that there are thousands of tons of ice. Thousands of TONS of ice.And that its really dangerous if the water is rapidly dripping from the ice. So the next shot is him, laying down just chilling, with streams of water coming of the ice ceiling.
Les is ever worse sometimes, yet too predictable. His predicament will consist of either:
A. Him eating something that is disgusting
B. Him (who is of canadian nationality) playing the blues on his harmonica.
You watch one episode of his show, you will se at least one visual of his barf or hear this
"*cool blues style harmonica music* Ooops. I forgot that *insert dangerous animal that is indigeonous to the area that he is in* are attracted by strange noises...*more blues*"
But even with all the annoying things they do, the predictablility of it, I LOVE THAT KIND OF SHOW!
Do we have any other fans in the ESPMML fanbase?
