Running Wild with Bear Grylls on Nat Geo

[nyslowhand]

Not a big fan of Grylls, but this show is interesting because he takes a celebrity on a 48hr survival trek. Lot of climbing up and repelling down cliffs, shelter building, fire starting and food gathering. All are way out of their celebrity lifestyle & comfort level. Recently streamed on demand episodes from last season. What makes this interesting is to see how the celebs face their fears and who meets them head-on & who is the biggest wimp. JMO, Courtney Cox is a whinny "B", Kate Hudson moved thru her demons. Michelle Rodriquez is a fearless, tiny beast, Spice Girl Mel B did a decent job after a lot of complaining, James Marsden & Micheal B Jordan did a respectable job of meeting their fears. "Biggest loser" , constant bitching and MVP whimp was NFL superstar Marshawn Lynch Go figure, huh!?! Hudson & Rodriquez put him to shame, literally!!! Also had some interesting campfire conversations where celebs divulged personal info.

This survival show is a little more realistic than most of the other reality (??) survival shows that are mostly scripted for the drama effects. Worth a watch, esp since these are single 1hr episodes and not prolonged multi-episode shows! Believe 2nd season premiered 11/5 on Nat Geo.
