I don't know if you've all had a chance to see this show.
I've watched in three time now and was curious to know what people thought of it?
Obviously it's "Reality TV", but I thought it did have some interesting stuff in it.

50/50 TBH - Bear Grylls went down in my estimation when it was revealed recently that he stayed in a Hotel on one of his series...

I think what I liked best were the comments made by the actual legionnaires (both the trainers and the ones interviewed).
Obviously the guys only went through a fraction of what actual legionnaires would go through and certainly didn't suffer the sort of deprivation that Simon Murray described in his book.
I did like the ending because although they received their kepi blanc, they said that they wouldn't wear them because that honor went to the real legionnaires.

Bear Grylls programs are ok - not bad for entertainment ... but with the camera guy helping out, almost every other episode, "hey mate hand me that line" your pretty much given the stick on 'deprivation.' His shows are entertaining but thats about all. Haven't seen the Legion episode though ... but did see the one where he drank his own urine. Wondering if that was true due to editing!
