The last episode was pretty bad.

It was obviously his and their plan for him to raft the white-water rapids from the start. They had cameramen positioned 2 miles downstream on hills overlooking the rapids. His lame comments of how he feared rapids might be ahead, and then, "oh dear, I'm trapped in the rapids now, I can't possible swim out in time," were patently false.

I also think they brought the rabbit with them. He spent a good bit of time making/practicing with his throwing club, and then, hey, what luck, there's a big ole tame rabbit in the field for him to creep within 15 feet of and toss his stick at.
