“Running Wild With Bear Grylls” has become one of the more popular television shows on in recent seasons. As a matter of fact, the new season just premiered on September 16th and it featured popular star Vanessa Hudgens.
Many people might be surprised to learn how well she actually did on the show. Unless they are seeing her in that particular element, it is easy to believe that she is not exactly the type of individual that might be able to cope with being in the great outdoors, not to mention doing the things that would be required of her on a show like this. However, there is more than one side to her and she managed to do quite well, indeed.
Not only did she help trap and then cook a snake, anyone that turned into the show had a chance to see the more personal side of her. She talked about losing someone close to her and how that had impacted her. The truth is, her and Grylls had a rather heartwarming moment where they shared similar feelings, culminating with the advice that individuals are never really gone, they are always with the person in question watching over them. This moment alone was enough to make the show worth watching, and it was also worthy of a number of tissues. After that discussion, things really got interesting.
Grylls actually asked Hudgens to run down the side of a mountain that was filled with so much loose silt that it was almost impossible for anyone to keep their footing. She was obviously terrified at the very idea of doing such a thing, but she trusted him enough to do what he asked of her. The impressive part is that she stuck through it and met every challenge, regardless of its difficulty or how terrifying it seemed at the time. When it was all said and done, she not only met her challenges but far exceeded expectations. She proved that she does indeed have what it takes to make it in difficult circumstances and she accomplished something that she will no doubt treasure for the rest of her life.
Over the years, a lot of stars have come and gone on this particular show. Despite the fact that it hasn’t aired for an extremely long time, it manages to get people that are well known for almost every episode. It was no different in Hudgens’ case. While some people do better than others on the show, she definitely left her mark. She did so well that it became obvious by the time the show was ready to end that she had spent some time outdoors on her own or she wouldn’t have been able to achieve the things that she was doing.
If the episode featuring Hudgens is any indication of the remainder of this season, it will definitely be one that’s worth watching. Not only that, but it will take someone that is capable of pulling off quite a few feats of physical and mental prowess in order for them to exceed the accomplishments that she achieved during her challenge.
