The new episodes are terrible. He doesn't even try to act like he's alone, he's hanging out with tribes and shit and its just boring. People who defend him will argue that the show was never about Bear being alone and "confronting" danger, but him showing viewers common mistakes people make when out in these areas, and what they should do instead. Like once when he intentionally jumped in quicksand, and showed viewers what do if one ever found themselves in the same situation. I see both sides of the argument. They should have never gave the impression that various moments were done spontanteously, or that he was "stranded" in places he wasn't. If the show is really about teaching people skills they could really use.
