En pleine nature avec Bear Grylls

It's too much scripted too much staged, every time they stumble upon a piece of equipment which they end up conveniently using.

Would be much better if from the very beginning they admit its fake and they take equipment on preparation of a long difficult adventurous hike, but pretending its all real makes you feel like they are taking the viewers for big idiots, which is exactly what they are actually doing.

This was a great show, I'm big into the survival and exploring type shows and the insertion of celebrities gives this type of show a new edge.

The celebrities are good sports with it and its just an overall fun show. They all seem very comfortable and not at all like they're forced into the situation, there is great chemistry.

Everyone is very likable and watching people overcome the terrain is great and the celebrities seem much more like your run of the mill people. Great photography to it's a show for any age. If you like other of Bear's shows or shows like Ultimate Survivor or the Out of the Wild shows

Technically / visually it's almost its equal (photography / camerawork are still spectacular), and in terms of character it's more intimate and introspective. But it's also much slower-paced: if Bear alone faced, say, 10 challenges per episode, with a celebrity guest they face, say, 4. There is also one more problem: too much rappelling. It's thrilling to watch the first few times, but when every single episode has it (though I have missed a couple), it gets very repetitive. My favorite episode is probably the one with Vanessa Hudgens - she is extremely likable, and the "screen running" at the end makes for an exciting change-of-pace. Oustanding later episodes include those with the super-fit Keri Russell and Brie Larson. But the show seems to be heading in the wrong direction mid-season 5 (Bautista? Channing Tatum (again)? A professional rock climber???). For this concept at its freshest, see the "Man Vs. Wild" specials "Fan Vs. Wild" and the one with Jake Gyllenhaal. *** out of 4.

I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sceneries and watching the celebrities navigate outside their comfort zones.

Also, this show isn't trying to fool anyone as some have claimed. Of course there's going to be safety nets and the occasional equipment pre set up- it's to keep the show moving for both the viewers and the celebrity counterpart and to ramp up the entertainment.

This is by far my favourite reality TV show. It's wonderful to see celebrities being so down to earth and such greats sports! (with the exception of Ben Stiller who whined the whole time ). Bear is probably the most charismatic host you can find anywhere and is just so likeable, apart from having super human survival skills. It's great to see how comfortable he makes people feel and the way he gets his guests to share their vulnerabilities. The show itself is edited beautifully. I particularly enjoyed the episodes with Zac Effron, Armie Hammer and Channing Tatum because they were so damn enthusiastic and sporting about everything. Kate Winslet was great. So authentic and just herself. In fact everyone on the show were really genuine, authentic and cool. I can't wait to see which celebrities are going to be on season 6. Please God, let Chris Hemsworth be one of them !
