I was looking through a TV/movie website earlier and saw the series
Running Wild with Bear Grylls hosted by the survival "expert" Bear Grylls (
I previously wrote about him, hence the "expert" in quotation marks). I watched an episode of his earlier show,
Man vs. Wild, where Grylls was accompanied by Will Ferrell and while I found it mildly amusing, I wasn't impressed. I had hoped the celebrity accompanying Grylls would at least take it a bit more seriously, if for nothing other to keep up the farce that they were ever in any real danger.
This new show's description reads:
Bear Grylls, British adventurer, takes A-list celebrities on wild outdoor adventures, pushing them beyond their comfort zone. There are a couple of people on this list I am not familiar with, but knew the rest. I intend to watch the episodes with Kate Hudson (so cute!) and Kate Winslet (be still my beating heart) but I am not particularly enthused about watching any of the rest...I might or I might not.
That said, it's the description I have some problems with; while some of the celebs are definitely on the "A-List", I am pretty sure some others aren't, one in particular. I've given a hint on the screenshot below.

I don't have anything against Tom Arnold; he was really good in
True Lies, but he's not someone I care to see much of in anything. He's "B-List" at best.
