New series. Reality show in which 13 British men are left on a remote, uninhabited Pacific island for a month. Adventurer Bear Grylls finds out whether the volunteers - filming themselves and stripped of all the luxuries of 21st-century living - can use teamwork to survive tough conditions with only some basic tools and the clothes they're wearing. In the first edition, tempers fray and doubts set in as the men seek shelter for the night, and with dehydration and hunger taking hold, they urgently need to find water and make a fire

Travels about the world making out he's a survival expert eating dirt and **** to survive but when the cameras off, tucks into a four course ****g meal that Rosie O'donnel would struggle to finish. When the ratings are low he pulls stunts like drinking his own piss and inserting stick insects up his back nine to repair a shattered kidney. Fake as Pamela Anderson's tits but half as watchable. Bear Grylls, your a massive massive ****.

After they 'found' the fishing net I was expecting them to walk around the headland and find a brand new fully fitted kitchen with a generator washed up on the shore and a fully charged satellite mobile phone.
Report naydam • May 20, 2014 2:14 PM BST
I'm a bit surprised that none of them are very inventive. The first hunting aid should be a simple atlatl. Easy and quick to make, it would improve their chances enormously with the seabirds.
Also, they need to 'tool-up' and actively target the caymans (that looks SO wrong!! Laugh ). That is their best source of protein so far.
Report Percy Filth • May 20, 2014 2:47 PM BST
Channel was accused of fakery last night after it emerged producers set up a water supply and let loose two crocodiles on survival show The Island with Bear Grylls.

It has also emerged that four of the “13 ordinary men” marooned for a month were TV ­professionals with experience of extreme conditions and at least two had worked with Grylls before.

In last week’s opening episode, the dehydrated camp-mates came close to despair as time ran out to find a source of fresh drinking water.

When they eventually found it, viewers were not told that the murky supply was actually a rubber-lined pool put there by the production crew
Report naydam • May 20, 2014 3:02 PM BST
I suppose some of this fakery is necessary...the water supply for example, or they would all simply die in episode three. Mind, we could watch the birds, crabs and other locals enjoying their feast!

I must say that I find the Ed(?) Stafford series 'Marooned' a much greater challenge. He is marooned in various different areas with nothing...not even his underpants, usually!  ShockedShocked
