So Ballsy He Actually Died Tier
Steve Irwin

[Pablo_the_Mex]

Mike Rowe should be higher up. He has done a lot of things many would never consider doing.

[Sasmasta]

Bear Grylls is one dope mofo. :cool:

Go Irwin!

[ckrazy]

That last tier is killing me I so shouldn't be laughing but I can't help it.

[Septimus Prime]

Mike Rowe should be higher up. He has done a lot of things many would never consider doing.
Thing is, he's never been in any real danger. Sure, he's done some gross-ass stuff, but that's probably it. Even Mack has a more dangerous job, since he's around live weaponry all the time.

[AmbiguousCrosup]

Man vs. Wild is so low tier it should be off the list. Survivorman>>>>>>>>Man VS Wild. I'd move Deadliest Catch up a tier.

Because it's "fake"? Maybe. But because of this, the new format has Grylls doing even crazier shit all the time.

[AmbiguousCrosup]

That, and I never really liked Bear to begin with.

[Ragetowersrage]

I recommend that Kari be moved to the "Eye candy Tier"

[MrQuotes]

hm...

shouldnt u move the "So ballsy he actually died tier" to the top of the list?

[MrBlank]

Deadliest Catch should be Tier 1.... People Die on that show every season. Including in the recent season one of the vets.

[epp1e]

I would gladly add to Kari Byron's ballsiness by going balls deep on her.

[AkumaTX]

add travel channel and national geo to that list and i'll go with Bizzare foods and Andrew Zimmern. I wish i had his job of eating whatever. I also like Anthony Bourdain

[pherai]

Jeff Corwin is totally lame. I can't respect that guy. Don't know why.

Solid list though. Les kicks absurd amount of ass.

As for Andrew and Anthony, their just eating, and Anthony barely does anything ballsy, but thats kind of what I like about him. He's very real, and funny too.

[Pablo_the_Mex]

Thing is, he's never been in any real danger. Sure, he's done some gross-ass stuff, but that's probably it. Even Mack has a more dangerous job, since he's around live weaponry all the time.

I don't know man. They have him handle and work around some pretty dangerous machinery. I was convinced he was going to lose a limb one time he was at a saw mill. He almost got his face burned off at a steel mill as well. His face mask melted when molten steel splattered on his fucking face. Granted, on the show he is never really in immediate danger, but he has the chance of getting wrecked in a much worse way than Bear or Les Stroud. The surivor guys put themselves in danger, while Mike is more concerned with avoiding it altogether.

[pherai]

One thing that stands out for Mike is when he castrated that horse. I don't know of many men who could go throw castrating anything. Hurts just thinking about it.

[Biolink]

Why Bear Grylls so high?

Wasn't he the guy faking a lot of stuff?Like those "Wild Horses" in one episode.

There some guy that does everything himself including the camera work.He'd have to be Tops

I guess if you like hearing Les Stroud constantly bitch about having to lug around camera equipment or see him cry because he can't even catch a salmon in a river packed full of them then yes he is top tier.

[Infernoman]

hm...

shouldnt u move the "So ballsy he actually died tier" to the top of the list?

I suggest it's renamed Legendary tier...

[white shadow]

Les Stroud rules. All practical, no mindless risk, and no camera crew!

[FistsofFury]

Man...are the professors/experts hired to talk in documentaries also tiered?

If so..I'm gonna have to argue that Roger McGrath...needs to be at least mid tier. Any history channel documentary about the wild west/civil war....he was killin it.

[Septimus Prime]

hm...

shouldnt u move the "So ballsy he actually died tier" to the top of the list?
No, because you can no longer laugh in Death's fucking face after he's already gotten you. That's why Irwin's bottom tier now.

I already posted the explanation for why he's still top tier, but I doubt you know how to even read, since you're too stupid to even put a fucking space between your punctuation and the words that follow it.

[Oni Warrior]

R. Lee Ermey, why has he gotten no praise? Without a doubt, Ermey is top tier. I don't even know if Mail Call is still on the History Channel -- I've been tuning in less and less the more they air shows that have nothing to do with history.

History Channel is garbage now, all UFO and end of the world hippy shit.

[Septimus Prime]

I actually haven't watched History in quite some time, but I did want to add the Ice Road Truckers guys on it.

[Luciano Leone]

Holy shit, this is the first thing I thought when I looked at the initial list.

R. Lee Ermey is R. Lee Ermey tier. Unbeatable in any way shape or form.

[Yansoma]

God Tier

Ted Koppel

[EvilSamurai]

R. Lee Ermey is at least Top Tier.

[white shadow]

R. Lee Ermey is at least Top Tier.

Or whatever equals, Run-Your-Ass-Over-With-A-Tank Tier.

[fistoftheryustar]

That, and I never really liked Bear to begin with.

thats prolly why u want man vs wild demoted


bear seems like a genuine english equivalent of a country bumpkin. its is semi faked, but some of the stuff he does are real. dude is still a real man, plus hes like irwin and christian bale combined.

i think irwin and his tier should be on the opposite end of this. he was wayyy too ballsy. stinger prolly didnt hurt i can picture him thinking whats this lil buggah as he pulled out the tail causing his own end
