Yes Gryll's has admitted that he faked many parts in the series "Man Vs. Wild" but you cannot ignore that he has done some pretty heavy stuff (SAS experience etc and if your in that deep i think he can survive for himself, he just takes the easier more 'thrilling' option and in return big $$) - if you actually are interested in watching some legit gak from Grylls watch his earlier episodes or from his other programs, my personal favourite is "Escape to the Legion" i enjoyed that doco and you can watch it all on youtube.

tl;dr - you shouldn't discredit someone from a perspective of 1 tv show.

I can understand where your coming from, but it shouldn't stop you from watching his other shows, for example the tackler can always gain lost reputation through hard work and honesty... (which i believe is shown through other series, esp. bear grylls). Each to his own though - its your choice/opinion.
