I'm almost surprised that the Mythbusters lawyers let them do that. That's enough to traumatize Grant for life. I'm not afraid of spiders and I think that would even freak out me.

Pink toes are incredibly docile, they rarely bite even if provoked and don't have dangerous venom. He would be in a lot more danger walking into a room inhabited by 10 mosquitoes.

If they're defanged, i don't see the issue.

are you fucking serious? THEY ARE FUCKING SPIDERS!

It's like being in a cage w/ 15 hostile male lions wanting to rip your nuts off, scary even without their teeth and claws!

I'd have a hard time doing that with any creepy crawly, much less spiders. Even bugs I'm cool with holding creep me out when they're running across my skin.

tarantulas are remarkably friendly and docile

Brave man, I would not do this. When I was little, around 4 years old, one of the neighbor's kid captured a spider, one with the long legs and proceeded to rip the legs off in front of me. I have been uncomfortable around spiders ever since. I would not let one crawl on me.

Grant & Kari got cold feet under extreme stress. Torry(sp?) was inconclusive.

I thought Tory's was probably a poor choice (taking him up in a stunt plane). It's kind of like a roller coaster, and even people that get a bit squeamish on them still have fun :p.

Poor Kari though :eek:.

I saw it and have no idea why... unless this is something perverted.

I agree with the above. Kari & Tory had it easy(especially Tory). Grant's was brutal.
