There are two shows on Discovery Channel that seem to me to be the exact same, except for different hosts; Man Vs. Wild, with Bear Grylls, and Survivorman, with Les Stroud. Each show has each host out and about in different harsh environments, roughing it and giving you tips that could "actually save your life" if you were ever, say, shoved out of an airplane in the middle of Alaska. They do things like build shelters, and eat dead carcasses, and drink their own pee. Really, the only difference I can fathom is in the host's accents. One is British, and one is American (or at least, he sounds American.)
So, the whole point of this little blog is to pose the question: Why have both shows? Which is better? Is drinking your own pee really a good idea?

BECAUSE the world is a better place with Bear Grylls as a host... wonderful to look at... it really brings in the woman audience, lol.
No, I really don't know. But do you really want one or the other out of a job by posing this question? Shame on you. :P
Grylls himself got into trouble for staying over-night in a hotel, instead of "roughing it" as he pretended to do so for the show. Maybe Stroud IS a better candidate for the job. . .
UH! Well... Grylls is better to look at... so Grylls FTW!
