SHOWS SEASON: 4

AIR DATE: June 2, 2009

SUMMERY OF THIS SHOW: Bear Grylls takes Will Ferrell out and about to survive the harsh cold of Northern Sweden. They treck threw the woods over ice covered lakes as they spend 48 hours trying to reach their extraction point. Along the way, Will Ferrell and Bear Grylls find a dears head to snack upon after making camp.

FASTERCHILD'S REVIEW: To be completely honest, this was not as funny as I was hoping it was going to be. When I saw all the commercials for it I made it a point to set my DVR to record it. While watching this episode it seemed like Will Ferrell was actually kind of put out by the situation and he really didn't want to be there at all. I was hoping he would be cracking jokes and being crazy the whole time. But, he was pretty much just an old dude on a mountain. I suppose the whole thing was a just a great big plug for his upcoming movie anyway. I just think it could have been done a lot better. Even though all I've really talked about here is pretty negative, it was still pretty entertaining for the most part. So, it wasn't all bad.
