Life as an Interviewer

I am the only person on my team who does not interview candidates, mostly because I do not have the confidence to do so. I figure I barely know what I am doing, let alone to be able to interview someone else. In theory I should know more about the subjects that come up in the interview, but I am not that knowledgeable.

That said, I can only really answer two of your four questions and would probably fail your interview. I am going to be screwed when I get laid off next year.

"Survivorman" vs. "Man vs. Wild"

I would have to go with Les. People here say he complains and goes in with food as if that somehow discredits him. However, he does put himself into a real survival situation, unlike Bear who is with a camera crew and is not always even in a remote area. And honestly, I don't care who's more "badass," or whatever term people are using. What really matters is who gives the best advice. And take it from a lifetime of outdoor experience that Les definitely gives better advice on his show. I'm not saying that Bear doesn't know what to do. I just feel that he does things that would not be a good idea purely for the sake of providing an entertaining show.
And I would wonder how many people commenting here have ever been through any sort of survival experience. It's one thing to give an opinion from your couch in the suburbs and quite another to look at it from a remote forest campsite.

"Survivorman" vs. "Man vs. Wild"

Les is the better when it comes to being real. However, I would rather watch Man vs. Wild because it's simply more interesting.

Honesty, I was expecting a two hour movie full of static thin cartoon people with speech bubbles over their heads.
