Admiral Adama or Don Draper?

[Zulu Romeo]

Opinion D- Iguana.

Offer E- Bear Grylls. Because bears can eat foxes and iguanas.

Didn't he get caught out staying at the local Sheraton in between takes for one of his wilderness shows? Or was that another one of these wilderness experts?

Frankly, he went UP in my estimation after that. I mean, you've got to be seriously nuts not to prefer staying in a hotel over sleeping in the cold. Although, he could have picked a Four Seasons...

He's a survivor. They're a dying breed.

If he had just stayed in a Motel 6 he could have remained true to the survivalist nature of the show.

But an adviser to Born Survivor has disclosed that at one location where the adventurer claimed to be a “real life Robin-son Crusoe” trapped on “a desert island”, he was actually on an outlying part of the Hawaiian archipelago and spent nights at a motel.

On another occasion in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains where he was filmed biting off the head of a snake for breakfast and struggling for survival “with just a water bottle, a cup and a flint for making fire”, he actually slept some nights with the crew in a lodge fitted with television and internet access. The Pines Resort at Bass Lake is advertised as “a cosy getaway for families” with blueberry pancakes for breakfast.

In one episode Grylls, son of the late Tory MP Sir Michael Grylls, was shown apparently building a Polynesian-style raft using only materials around him, including bamboo, hibiscus twine and palm leaves for a sail.

But according to Mark Weinert, an Oregon-based survival consultant brought in for the job, it was he who led the team that built the raft. It was then dismantled so that Grylls could be shown building it on camera.

In another episode viewers watched as Grylls tried to coax an apparently wild mustang into a lasso in the Sierra Nevada. “I’m in luck,” he told viewers, apparently coming across four wild horses grazing in a meadow. “A chance to use an old native American mode of transport comes my way. This is one of the few places in the whole of the US where horses still roam wild.”

In fact, Weinert said, the horses were not wild but were brought in by trailer from a nearby trekking station for the “choreographed” feature.

My last bit of faith in the truthiness of reality TV was shattered when I first heard this. I haven't been this disappointed by reality TV since I found out they never executed The Mole for treason.

Looking at the poll results so far, it's fair to say Adama's the winner.

I love both Draper and Adama but Draper is the more interesting character and has a lot more depth to him (that's not a knock on BSG; Mad Men and BSG are interested in different things) so I voted for him.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Bill Adama has chunks of guys like Don Draper in his stool.

LMAO!!!

 

[vampgrrl]

What? What? What? /Draper

I love Draper but I wouldn't follow him into battle...

 

[Jack Bauer]

Adama...Draper sucks ass.

 

[Ashu]

ADAMA. He's uber bad ass.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Adama. Draper's an asshole. He's also a deserter.

True... Draper did go AWOL.

Young Adama also "killed" a Cylon Centurion with a long metal pipe... frakkin' old school... because that's just how Adama rolls. And before he killed the Cylon with the metal pipe, he exchanged gunfire with it, and wrestled with it, while in midair, after both had ejected from their damaged craft.

Adama, the old man, the Admiral.

 

[Jonas Grumby]

Looks like the final tally is 21 to 3 for Adama.

I'm not sure it was a fair match-up, though. Don Draper was never meant to be a hero. He's really just an average guy, with a few exceptional abilities and a few exceptional flaws.

Are you asking "who's more manly" or "who would get more women"? Because I don't think those questions have the same answer...

 

[Jonas Grumby]

^ Ah, upon looking back, I see the OP specifically asked, "Which of them would get more women?" That's a closer call!

 

[greenguy]

Are you asking "who's more manly" or "who would get more women"? Because I don't think those questions have the same answer...

Thank you. It only took until Page 3 for someone to ask this, although I will assume that people who think that these questions do have the same answers have understandably terrible social lives. I stopped reading the OP when I read lines like, "he doesn't pursue women, he claims them...so who is the manlier man?"
