Man vs Wild - I dont get it

So I have seen a few episodes of this show where the guy goes out into the wild and has to 'survive' and the while being filmed for the show. I saw him drink his own urine and then use the rest to put on a shirt and wrap around his neck to stay cool. What I cant help but wonder is - did the camera and production crew do this too to stay alive or did they simply reach into the crew cooler and just simply pop open a store bought bottle of water.

He shows himself near death from starvation or dehydration or overheating meanwhile the director is probably hovering in an air conditioned heli copter with internet access and a bathroom. If I were near death I am pretty sure I would just say 'cut'. And who are these film people who would just watch this horrible manifestation of near death and not offer a brother a bone - literally a bone - I saw him once eat the nasty marrow out of a random bone. This could have been a human bone, a bone from a small child - we really dont know. Not to mention what kind of possible blood diseases this person or animal was carrying in their marrow.

I guess it did get me to watch and even post on it so this is merely the goal of the show is for viewers sick curiosity like slowing down to check out a car accident.

Im no movie or TV show producer nor do I play one on TV but I did switch to GEICO and am saving 15% on my car insurance.
