I watched 'Man Vs Wild' avidly until I found out it was fake-haven't watched it since.
It seems to me that Les saw the reaction of people to the news about it being fake, and did his best to avoid even the appearance of anything underhanded-to the extent of explaining on camera where his support crew were, and how much assistance they were giving him.
I think that if the Man Vs Wild production team had been more forthcoming about the actual process involved in making the show instead of leading people down the garden path, people would have understood and would probably still have watched.
Les Stroud kicks ass.

Have you considered taking longer?
