It begs one question: What do we value as viewers—educational properties or authenticity? The purpose of the show is to educate people about the dangers of the wilderness and how to survive them. Grylls is still providing important information, but Discovery has chosen to dramatize the avenue through which that information reaches the public.
I personally don’t mind the controversy. The show is compelling and educational despite the façade.
