Bear Grylls' Wild Survival Tips

Man vs. Wild host Bear Grylls has made his way across scorching deserts and freezing tundra, sampling bizarre cuisine along the way. Tonight, he heads to the Caucasus Mountains in the Georgian republic to spend the night with wolves and dine on a rotten vulture egg. Grylls shares essential survival tips. 1. Be ready to eat. "There's a long list [of gross food], but raw goat's testicles are bad. They're solid, but you put them in your mouth and they melt. It's just bad." 2. It's a shame to waste good pee. "In the heat of the desert, having a T-shirt soaked in pee is

Tonight's TV Hot List: Saturday, June 19, 2010

World Cup Soccer2/1c ABC As the first African nation to reach the World Cup quarterfinals (1990) and the second to capture Olympic gold (2000), Cameroon is hoping for more once-a-decade magic in this first World Cup on its home continent. But after a frustrating 1-0 loss to Japan, the Indomitable Lions are under pressure to at least play to a tie against Denmark, the other winless squad in Group E. Look for more urgency from classy forwards Samuel Eto'o of Cameroon (and Inter Milan) and rangy Dane Nicklas Bendtner (Arsenal), who combined for one harmless shot in their first matches.

According to Jim8:30 pm/ET ABC After eight seasons (which seemed to some like twice that many), this sitcom-that-gets-no-respect ends its run tonight with, appropriately enough, Jim's death. Heaven or hell? Jim is on trial before God (Lee Majors) and Satan (Erik Estrada). For Jim's sake, let's hope that there aren't any TV critics on the jury. Also helping usher in Jim's eternal reward (or torment) are guest stars Dan Aykroyd and Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

Man vs. Wild Accused of Being Tamer Than It Lets On

Discovery Channel is looking into claims that Man vs. Wild doesn't rough it as much as viewers are led to believe. "Discovery Communications has learned that isolated elements of Man vs. Wild in some episodes were not natural to the environment and that for health and safety concerns the crew and host received some survival assistance," the cabler says in a statement cited by the Reporter.An investigation by the U.K.'s Channel 4 found that Man vs. Wild host Bear Grylls retreated to a hotel room on at least two occasions when it was purported that he slept "in the wild." (To be fair, the lodging in question was a Motel 6, so... tomato, tom-ah-to.) Discovery maintains that "moving forward, the program will be 100-percent transparent, and all elements... will be explained to our viewers."

Summer TV: Calling All Crazy People

As summer sets in and I feel the need to lighten my TV-viewing load, I find myself casually and occasionally watching shows that both boggle my mind with their pointlessness and intrigue me with the bizarre and neurotic behavior that comes along with their casts. Aside from my weekly summer regulars like Entourage, Hidden Palms (can we say O.C. wannabe?), and The Starter Wife (which I don't quite love as much as I had hoped to), I feel like I've wasted years of my life getting caught up in the disaster that is Reunited: The Real World Las Vegas. Now, for any fans out there who have dedicated themselves to the alternate universe that is The Real World, you have to admit that this was a pretty genius idea on MTV's part. Bringing back this rowdy crew for another round of late-night shenanigans in The Palms Casino was sure to start fires and force uncomfortable exes to cohabitate. It's only the second week and Irulan is already crying in hysterics about having dinner with Alton. And Ari...

Meet Discovery Channel's Daring New Wild Man, Bear Grylls

Having recovered from a broken back to successfully climb Everest, it's safe to say that Bear Grylls is one resilient dude. Now, on Discovery Channel's Man vs. Wild (new episodes premiere Friday at 9 pm/ET), the former British special-forces member is getting himself into — and then out of — some hairy situations. TV Guide: How'd Man vs. Wild come about? Bear Grylls: Well, I did a TV series for British TV on what it was like to join the French Foreign Legion and go through basic training, and that was quite popular over here. And on the back of that, Discovery said, "Come and do something for us." For me, it was the perfect blank canvas [on which] to paint a fun picture. So I said, "Why don't we parachute me into lots of cool places with very little, and sort of film the adventure?"
