Think of how gross you feel when you find a hair in your food. Now imagine being filmed eating a bloody, furry carcass again and again and again. While promoting his upcoming show, "Fan vs Wild," Bear sat down with Asylum to talk about the grossest things he's ever eaten.
"I had a director vomit the other day," he said. "It's taken me 55 shows, but I finally did it. I lit a fire and all the bugs were attracted to it: crickets and grasshoppers and praying mantises, everything. And I would just grab them and shove them in an empty water bottle so by morning I had a half water bottle full of these things
"So I thought I better eat these. So I get them out and literally crush them in my hand into like a burger patty. So it tasted terrible, it's oozing this yellow sap and gunk, but it was a mass of energy. So I turn around and he (the director) is behind a tree throwing up. I actually consider it quite an achievement."
And yet, this bug burger did not even make it into the top five grossest things Bear has ever eaten. See what did.

I have seen Bear eat some really gross things on TV. My comments are this: I bet he has some wild parasites living it up in his intestines. He mentions times when he gets really sick and probably has to get a colon cleansing or some really strong anti-biotics to kill what is crawling around in there. But Bear, one day the cleansing and the anti-biotics are not going to kill those critters and you will be in a world of trouble. They are going to come crawling out of every orifice on your body! In fact, I bet that right now, your intestines are harboring something that won't die. You are young but I bet some of that stuff you eat is going to kill you one day. I enjoy the shows but I do worry about what you eat! And, I bet your poop is ferocious looking and crawling with all types of creepy crawlies!

I once picked an apple out of a stream and got geardia, little critters setting up house in my intestines. The medicine to get rid of that caused colitis. Ten years ago and I'm still suffering occasionally.

I suppose the same tired argument about turning off gross things- (rather than complain about them)- holds true here. What Bear eats is sickeningly inappropriate, and his show probably shouldn't be on TV in any decent society. But our shock "sensibility" has passed the point of no return so long ago that even suggesting censure will be hooted down!

Bear WILL never EVER top Survivor Man. Bear shoots his show with camera men and sleeps in a tent or hotel when the "shot" is over. Survivor man (Les Stroud) films everything himself! I love survivor man. They should bring him back and get rid of bear...

I'm sorry, I hate to disagree with you but, 1st, there are no hotels where Bear lands or swims or whatever. 2nd, the only thing he had to learn how to do was to make a raft out of wood. 3rd, it says at the beginning of the show, that he has a camera crew with him. Now let's talk about Les Stroud, his camera crew and vehicles are less than a half mile away. Do you really think he stays outside? No, at the end of his shots at night, he walks over to the tents and trucks and sleeps in one of those. When Les Stroud decides he's finished trying to "survive", he walks over to his crew. If he was really out there he couldn't just decide that he was finished and walk away.

Yeah, Les Stroud is not what he's cracked to be. In one episode there was a shadow
on the grass of a camera man. I still liked to watch it though, but he was
still trying to pull a fast one....

I saw him club,kill,and eat a beautiful 9 foot south american boa constrictor the other day.It's not the worst thing he ate but it made my heart sink.He had no reason to kill that animal.He wasn't in a real survival situation.He could have shown the live snake and mentioned in a real situation it would provide a good source of food then gone on and ate a bug to show you could eat the snake as well as the bug.

What has the American public been reduced to viewing on TV. C'mon America, what is your morbid curiosity gawking at a car wreck? The creators of this show must have eaten their boogers in kindergarten.... ew I even gagged at typing that!! Grow up, plz.

I always caution my kids that there is a huge difference between a life or death survival and going a couple of days without food. If you have to endure the latter, why complicate it with debilitating, or life-threatening, diarrhea or vomiting. And why, oh WHY, would you risk parasitic infestation unless you WERE in danger of starving. Like some of the show that have the stars catching poisonous snakes, I think this sends a potentially dangerous message.
