"Survivorman" is much more tame than "Man vs Wild", but I doubt "Survivorman" would actually get more rating.
Who would want to watch a guy starve half of the time and subsists himself on the small flora and fauna he can catch? Nobody. But it's much more realistic and I think much more informative.

- kj12345 16y agoI always wish they would make clear "rules of engagement" in shows like Man vs Wild. In other words the crew is not allowed to provide any assistance or interference until the person trying to survive says its an emergency, and they would show that moment on film. That would add drama and achieve a clearer view of what the experience is really like.
- Pyrodogg 16y agoThen again in Survivorman you have him making needless treks to set his cameras up then walk back to the origin. All this so that he can get himself on camera when he actually "departs". Not very survivior-like and incredibly energy wasteful.
