An Addendum

While I hate to detract from Bill, I must digress to a former post. (See Educational TV) I sensed some (Linds and Ash not to name names or anything) may be mis-lead in said wilderness survival television.
Sorry Bill, but you of all people would understand my said conundrum.


(Click Image for story) But here's a little snippet....

Born Survivor featured British adventurer Bear Grylls dealing with "perilous situations" in the wild.
But a crew member told the Sunday Times some nights were spent in hotels.
Channel 4 insisted Grylls was never billed as working entirely unaided, but promised to raise the matter with the production company that made the show.
American survival consultant Mark Weinert, who was recruited by Diverse Productions, told the paper Grylls claimed to be stranded on a desert island on one occasion.
Channel 4 statement However, he was actually in Hawaii and spent some of his time there in a motel, Mr Weinert alleged. Born Survivor featured British adventurer Bear Grylls dealing with "perilous situations" in the wild.

whatever, he is still way hotter than "baldie" (sorry andrea I know you like your men that way.) I would stay in a hotel with him anyday. Rich supervising of course.

I don't mind him shaking it up in a motel. I still love watching him over the other guy. That is what Josh and I do for fun... watch bear eat crazy things.
