Bear Grylls is marooned on a desert island somewhere south of Papua New Guinea. He wades across a shark-infested tidal channel, climbs crumbling volcanic cliffs, leaps over a 100-foot death drop, and constructs a bamboo windsurfer to make his escape.

2 Northern Australia

4 Georgia-Eastern Europe

9/1/10

5 Fan vs. Wild

This isn't real survival, its entertainment, which is fine so long as you know everything is staged, sponsored, and choreographed while Bear spends the night in a hotel. Try Survivorman with Les Stroud for a taste of the real thing--he doesn't even use a camera crew.

Just a great show. Wouldn't try anything he does in a real survival situation. But extremely entertaining to watch Bear in his element!
