Has anyone seen this show? I watched one episode about a giant lizard in the Australian rain forest that ate a guy that was trying to do a "survivorman" type show. That shit was crazy, but I'm not sure if it was real. It never said what was being shown was a dramatization and they said the guy was never found, just his video footage. I'm thinking it is real.

1:33 "WTF?"

1/23/2009 10:51:56 AM

haha that is good

1/23/2009 10:52:40 AM

you kiddin' me?



they let it be known multiple times that it is fake as hell.

1/23/2009 10:53:03 AM

it's even funnier if you have actually seen the actual Planet Earth series.

^^^haha yes, my feelings exactly

That lost tapes show seems totally fake to me. I watched the lizard one and part of some other one about a yeti... in the yeti one you could really tell it was fake because she had these fake webcasts she was 'recording' but then they show a shot of her recording them from outside the cabin (and no i don't think it is like survivorman where she bothered to set up a camera shooting through the window).

also she had on a ton of makeup which really doesn't seem believeable to me for a park ranger on stakeout for black bear poaching. after that i decided it was fake and couldn't watch anymore.

Ahahahaha

that shit is fucking hilarious

1/23/2009 10:59:10 AM

Man Vs. Wild is fake, so what's the difference?

1/23/2009 10:59:11 AM

Yeah I thought the bigfoot one was pretty suspect too.

1/23/2009 11:05:24 AM

^^Bear doesn't go around finding mythological creatures.

1/23/2009 11:09:46 AM

definitely fake...I found a list of actors for the show...gg Animal Planet.

1/23/2009 11:10:21 AM

^^ nah, he just stays in a hotel every night and makes it appear that he is actually trying to survive

1/23/2009 11:12:37 AM

Bear is a stunt-man with a survival show.

this Lost Tapes show is just completely bogus (guy gets eaten by giant, ancient komodo dragon thing, tapes are then discovered...)

1/23/2009 11:20:04 AM

You guys hate on Bear. Who gives a fuck if he stays in a holiday inn in the artic circle once in a while? Still a good show with lots of informative techniques. I will always tune in.

1/23/2009 11:22:19 AM

agreed. plus he was in the British Military's version of the Navy Seals, so he is pretty much badass regardless. just saying, if you want to watch a real survival show, check out my man Les on Survivorman.

1/23/2009 11:23:33 AM

survivorman just kind of sits there the whole time.. at least Bear has someone there to save his ass if he fucks up..so he does a lot more cool/ballsy shit

1/23/2009 11:25:19 AM

hence making it less realistic

It seems like Bear is trying to one up himself on doing stupid shit this season. I guess he wants to shed his non-badass image for a more badass one.

Thinking back to the last couple of episodes...
- I know hiking through the jungle is slow, but why the fuck would anyone enter an underground cave river? As the cave got smaller and smaller I started to cringe just watching him. Then he gets to a point of no return. The water is flowing downstream making it difficult or impossible to turn back. The cave begins to run underwater only, but he can see light; so he and the camera guy swim for the light. That's how you kill yourself and your camera guy.

- You find an abandoned gold mine in Canada. Do you:
a. Walk down the hill to the mining camp and railroad tracks.
b. Build a crappy torch and enter deep enough into the mine that the torch fails from lack of oxygen. Continue going deeper until you feel a breeze, and follow the breeze until you see a spec of daylight? Follow daylight to the mine's exit at the bottom of the hill that you could have just walked down?
