Celebrity Bear Hunt

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?

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.

I did actually enjoy the show for the most part. Not sure what the point was in having Holly Willougby there though. She didn't do anything and her links were totally unnecessary and sometimes annoying. Would have been better to have a voiceover from someone like Vernon Kay or someone else with some charisma.

I guess you are supposed to ignore the fact that the camera team would obviously give away the location of the celebritys but still watched all of the episodes. Quite liked the choice of celebrities taking part. Shirley Ballas in particulary was very good and showed what a nice lady she is as well as demonstrating what keeping fit in your later years can do for you.

I mean it's obviously scripted and not real. They can "evade" bear if they choose but there is no way the production crew would let them do that. Walk 50m in a random direction in the pit and then lie down and cover themselves with leaves and branches would have a 100% success rate of evading capture, but no way they would be allowed to do that.

Other than watching a bunch of unfit old incapable "celebs" wander around aimlessly not understanding what they are doing, there is not much to see here.

It's noise in the background while you do something else, I personally was baking some amazing food, good background noise.

Also as an aside, when did men become so pathetic and incapable of handling anything?

Its "Celebrities" playing hide and seek for an hour then crying to camera saying its the toughest challenge they've ever faced. If 6 year olds play it for fun then its not that intense and the over the top breakdowns to camera come off a bit ridiculous.

There's too big a divide between the level of difficulty and the contestants reactions all the way through, at one point one of them's talking about how the experience has changed her forever..... that's fine but it was the second day and she hadn't even been in the 'Bearpit' yet, which is where they play hide and seek.

It's watchable but it's more of a background show while you're doing housework, no need to lock in.
