In a throwback to the 2003 Mike Darnell boundary-pushing reality TV staple Man vs. Beast, Discovery Channel is doing Man vs. Bear, a competition series pitting humans against Grizzlies. The reality show, from Kinetic Content (Married At First Sight), a Red Arrow Studios company, has been filmed and premieres December 4.
It features three Grizzlies – Bart, Honey Bump and Tank – all free-range captive bears, some of them entertainment experience. They take on human competitors at a Utah sanctuary in challenges designed around the exercise routines the animals regularly follow, including a game of “tug of war” or rolling giant logs.
Each episode includes five distinct challenges inspired by what bears do naturally in the wild. In the final round, the top two competitors come face-to-face with Bart, who stands 8 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 1,400 pounds. The human competitor who earns the most points of the day is named champion.
The season concludes...

Would you challenge a grizzly bear to a game of tug-of-war? Discovery Channel is about to find out who would prevail in its new competition series “Man vs. Bear.”
Here’s how the show works: Each week, three grizzlies named Bart, Honey Bump and Tank will compete against three humans (men and women) in five challenges that test strength, speed and stamina. The bears have the home team advantage, as the competition takes place at the Utah sanctuary where they live, and the challenges play to the bears’ natural instincts and predatory skills. Besides tug-of-war, challenges include rolling giant logs using brute force alone, and other activities bears naturally do in the wild.
In the final round, the top two human competitors will go face-to-face with Bart the grizzly bear, who is 8-and-a-half feet tall and weighs 1,400 pounds. The human with the most points at the end of the episode will be crowned the winner.
