It seems to me that there is a hierarchy that some humans place over wildlife.. it's ok to taunt a snake or a rat or a spider but if it were a koala, a dog or a badger the British public would be up in arms... |

It amazes me that the TV people allow it..
Just because of the ratings and advertising revenue..
Wake up people..
Don't watch it, don't condone it. Watch the ratings drop and get it off our screens..

"I agree.
Eating live insects for "fun" is wrong on so many levels.
It's entertainment for the feebleminded.
thats tv in general surely  "
Reality TV is the epitome of it though. Especially "celebrity" focused reality TV. |

"I've eaten locusts on a survival course before, we had to put them on a stick and hold them in the campfire till you hear a pop, then you remove the head and legs and eat it. Tastes like popcorn."
Be careful, you’ll get lynched in here for that talk.  |

Survival course, actually learning something that could potentially one day save your life. Not for the entertainment of the mindless horde. |

I wish they would! That would be my kind of TV.
This reality crap is just pathetic and it really is a platform for the has beens and wannabes to attention seek.
As for the cruelty aspect, I agree. Not sure what is entertaining about scaring critters and eating live bugs.
Just because they animals used aren't cute and furry it seems their lives hold less or no value.
All life is valid, and all life has a place on earth. At least bugs are useful to the ecosystem, humans seem intent on destorying that.
Bizarre.

It was with the military so yeah it was done for a good reason, the scenario being that you're cut off behind enemy lines and have to build shelter and survive off the land before you can be rescued. |

They should do a British version. Cats on spikes and angry dogs thrown in a cage with the celeb. Then rip the head off a pig and eat it. Entertainment for the masses. |

I can't stand comedy where you see the punchline a mile off. That's Ant and Dec all over for me.
That's one reason I don't watch it. It's the same shit each year
Best thing about it for me is it signals Christmas is fast approaching when it's on tv.
I don't think it's cruel to animals |

I avoided Belize after seeing some other friends come back from a month out there at the jungle warfare school with some horrendous looking jungle diseases and parasites, it sounds grim! The training I did was in the UK |

"I'd it time they stopped the jungle tasks.. despite so called experts being present why can't they just leave all of those animals and insects alone.. ?"
Stop watching the program, if enough people stop watching they will stop making the program. |

They're not using live insects and bugs in the eating tasks this year, I guess they've still killed them rather than wait for them to die of old age but at least it's a quick way to go |

To be fair thousands of insects must be trodden on a squashed, some probably halved squashed and take ages to die agonising deaths. That in anyones book is not nice. I'd much rather Ant n Dik be squashed |

"They are trying to normalize the eating of insects, cause thats what we will eat in the future."
That's probably not as absurd as it sounds. It certainly worked to normalise "Big Brother". |

Is this actual outrage at fake outrage?!
Are you the snowflake for getting outraged by a thread in a swingers site or are they the snowflake for not wanting people to hurt insects? |

I don't really watch it, but I do have a memory of Sean Ryder being bitten by a particularly pissed off snake. Or did I dream that  |

Fake outrage? That is your opinion.
I have often thought that there is something not right about the way creatures are used for money in that show.
I'm surprised so many people agreed with this comment.

I hope the animals are not killed just so that the guests can eat their private parts for entertainment. The live crocodiles, rats, scorpionsm crabs, and snakes are probably put under enormous stress as they are dumped inside a box with a screaming, hand waving, feet kicking celebrity. Wonder how many animals died from internal injuries or heart attacks.
Wildlife expert Chris Packham wrote an angry letter to the show a few years ago and complained that it was portraying wild intelligent animals with a terrible negative stereotype, so that when one of those creatures are seen by the public, the public are more inclined to kill it out of fear, or frighten it into attacking because of its own desire to defend itself, and he pointed the finger of blame at the show. He said it could easily become an entertainment and 'educational' show, but I guess educational shows don't have high TV ratings.

Do you think that when huge spiders and creepy crawlies are in your house they might be on some insect version of " I’m A Creepy Crawley … Get Me Out Of Here! ?
Where they enter a house and have to do tasks like
"Run across the living room floor undetected"
Make a spider cob in a doorway so a human walks into it |

I ate a dried locust today and it's texture was that of a wafer biscuit and it's flavour was that of an old piece of mud wrapped in a dead scrotum inside of a putrid peanut. Dense and earthy. Just how I like it. |
