I fukks with quite a few of these survival shows.
Honestly, my rankings are :
Survivorman > Man, Woman, Wild > Man Versus Wild > Dual Survival
Les Stroud is the GOAT, I don't even need to explain. This cat will set up a camera, film himself walking up a mountain, then turn his ass around, go get his camera, then walk up the mountain again.
MWW was SLEPT ON. One thing I liked was that, unlike most of these other shows, they would actually FAIL quite a lot. Also, it was cool to see a husband and wife team doing this, they used to actually bicker a lot, made for good tv.
Man Versus Wild....I guess this is the most popular one, and Bear Grillz is a good host, but his show has always felt the most staged. That's been the big critique of him I guess. In later seasons they make it more of a "tag-along" where he talks to the cameraman a lot more and makes it feel more like he's kinda giving the audience a guide.
Dual Survival....they keep changing the people too much, and honestly, I kinda never felt like they brought anything new to the table. Most of the time I feel like they just make things harder on themselves. I never get a sense that they actually need to do any of the things they do to survive.
