À leurs trousses: Bear Grylls

I wasn't sure what to expect when I put Celebrity Bear Hunt on, but I can at least say that I was not disappointed. I loved watching the chemistry between the celebrities, watching male egos get trampled on and the unlikely succeed. I give all the celebrities full credit because this looked tough. I am 100% sure I wouldn't have made it past one activity, let alone be able to go into the Bear Pit. I wasn't overly impressed with who Bear selected as the winner, but nevertheless, Celebrity Bear Hunt is a great show if you just have some time to kill and enjoy a bit of survival reality television.

Man, some of the reviewers on hear need to get a life and stop taking things so seriously 😒 I was completely drawn in for the entire series and finished it all in a few days.

It was gloriously fun 😁. All the contestants had their moments and there wasnt a dull moment in the series 😀. If you enjoy big brother, I'm a celeb, Hunted and Bear Grylls then go for it you won't be disappointed. If you're a dry 💩 then don't even bother and go watch breaking bad or whatever you cool kids are into 😎 . Hopefully the dry 💩's don't ruin it for the rest of us as I'd love more of this. Bring on season 2! Ok that's it im finished now can I post? No come on.

However, it's nothing short of scripted false nonsense. Z List celebrities with zero people skills or like-ability sitting around arguing or pretending to be chased by a disinteresting Bear Grylls. Even he looks like he can't be bothered with the show. Had any aspect of this show be realistic or unscripted then it would be a delight. Unfortunately it's a big thumbs down.

Many of the celebrities appearing on the show are rude, narcissistic and difficult to watch. Mel B needs to give up and call it a day in the spotlight. Her 5 minutes of fame in the 90s are well and truly over and her desperation for relevance makes this show even drearier.

While this is a Netflix show, it's really a show which is very similar to something you would have seen on Channel 4 at some point in your life.

The show is advertised as Bear Grylls hunting down celebrity's in the jungle, but in reality he's just playing hide and seek with them in a closed off area. An area which, as you continue to watch the episodes, you soon realize is very small.

This premise is quite entertaining early on but becomes repetitive by around the third or forth time they do it since the escape roots are the same rotation.

The enjoyment is also ruined the moment it becomes apparent Bear knows exactly where all the exits of the "Bear pit" are, so he just waits close by for the celebrities to come to him.

Each episode could probably be helped by being a little shorter, as other than the odd bits of drama that the daily challenges create, they can feel a bit long as we continuously hear over an over about how hot the weather is.

Overall its just ok, something to pass the time if you want something easy to watch, but i cant help feel like it could have been a lot more than it is.

Ok, so picture this, Holly Willoughby and Bear Grylls in Netflix head office and they turn up and say "so we have this idea..." So several celebrities who aren't remotely tough enough for SAS who dares wins and dont want to be humiliated with I'm a celebrity get out of here decide the costa Rican jungle is the place for them... i can't decide if they pitched this as are doing Hunger Games or Anneka Rice's treasure hunt, this show is so confused, so silly, and overly dramatic but somehow I am enjoying watching this pruned and pampered idiots get chased around the jungle! Hide and seek is for winners?
