I like Surviorman, and so do the Geminis

Congratulations to Les Stroud and his team for receiving 3 nominations for the 23rd Annual Gemini Awards.

Les Stroud is a great guy. I've got to know him a bit through the years and quite respect him for what he does. if you're wondering, what he does on TV is not fake. He doesn't have a couple chocolate bars hidden in his pocket. The guy is dedicated, enthusiastic, and totally driven towards his career. It's a great success story really.

Way to go Les.

I agree. Kudos to Les, a great Canadian. Survivorman is one of the very few bright lights in an otherwise dismal list of offerings on television these days. Let's hope the series continues for a long time.

Cheers to Les and keep up the good work.

I think survivorman is awesome, he even came to my home town for an episode, Pond Inlet, Nunavut. Except he fibbed a bit about how far away from town he was.
