<p>“I Survived Bear Grylls” is a reality competition where ordinary people will try to test their survival skills(or lack thereof). They’ll simulate Bear Grylls’ past adventures inspired by watching him on TV. Despite not being trained like Grylls, contestants will attempt challenging stunts with safety. These challenges are still far from easy, but they allow participants to break even some of Bear Grylls’ records.</p>
 
Watched every single season of Bear Grylls but no way in hell I will join this show. I hate camping and I don't think I will be strong enough to handle these challenges.
 
While I appreciate the focus on survival skills, I have to admit that the idea of contestants eating worms and other bizarre foods is a bit off-putting. I'm not sure I could stomach watching that!I'm curious to see how the show will handle contestants who don't eat meat.
 
Honestly, I think the real star of this show will be Bear Grylls himself. Watching him guide inexperienced contestants through the wilderness will be entertaining, and I'm sure he'll have plenty of witty commentary along the way. I can't wait to see whiny contestants who are afraid of the Wilderness but somehow still joined this show cry like babies. I love watching people cry and suffer.
 
I'm not sure what's more impressive - Bear Grylls' survival skills, or his ability to eat almost anything. have to admit, the idea of watching city folk struggle to survive in the wild is pretty hilarious. It's like "The Office" meets "Survivor". I just hope they remember to bring their SPF 50 sunscreen and designer bug spray..Oh they won't. My biggest turn of on this show is that its stand alone episodes. I prefer shows like Survivor and Big Brother because I get attached to the contestants sine they are there for longer period of time. It is not really a full experience since these contestants will do it for one episode only.
 
I'm a little disappointed that there's no "survival of the fittest" element to this show. I mean, it would be way more exciting if the contestants had to fight each other to the death for a shot at winning. Just kidding, of course - I'm not a monster... or am I? I watched too much Traitors....
 
These people looks like they won't last a day in "Naked and Afraid" Their lives will be easier since its stand alone episode which means they will do it for a day or 2.I have to hand it to Bear Grylls - he's a true survival expert. I mean, the guy can make a shelter out of twigs and leaves, while I struggle to put up a tent with all the instructions right in front of me.
 
City person here who relies on takeout for most of my meals, I don't think I'd last five minutes on this show. I mean, I get winded just walking up a flight of stairs.I'm excited to see how Jordan Conley does as co-host. I mean, Bear Grylls is the star of the show and everything, but it's always nice to have a sidekick to provide commentary and comic relief. Maybe He'll even have some survival tips of her own to share! He was really good stand up comedian in America's got talent and now he is hosting a reality show.

I can completely understand how you feel about it, and I myself initially had similar reservations about the show. However, I have come to appreciate it solely because of Bear Grylls' invaluable efforts in aiding others and how he approach different challenges and to me he's like MSD lol.
 
If I will join a reality show, I will rather Join Traitors or Circle because in traitors I live in a castle with delicious breakfast every morning and in The circle I live in an apartment alone with a fridge full of groceries i requested.
