Does anyone else get the feeling there's a bit of backlash in the writing concerning staging relative to Survivorman?

Yes, definitely. Tellingly, the dot points are from the Survivorman page. I think I'll delete it, if anyone wants to restore it they know where to look.
Made a correction - Grylls was in the SAS(R), rather than the SAS. He was one of the Artists Rifles, Properly known as the 21 Special Air Service Regiment (Artists) (Reserve), a volunteer force.
Basically, the difference is that the SAS draws from the army, but SAS(R) are able to volunteer directly from civilian life. It doesn't make him any less bad-ass - you still have to pass selection, which isn't that much less strict or strenuous than the SAS selection, but accuracy is important in these matters.
