i’m taking a break from work, and decide to watch a little tv while eating a sandwich. fear factor comes on. first round, kind of strange–people chained to a wheel that goes underwater and they have to unlock themselves with keys and swim to a buoy for time. somebody goes home. creative, but not really that scary (to me anyway).
second round–involves a paint gun, with 100 pellets, and they are at a bar and have to shoot and break bottles of booze off the wall/shelf. however many bottles left, they have to drink one shot per bottle. the shot is blended up maggots, stink bettles, worms and rotten fish eyes. i watch one guy shoot the bottles, he seems to do pretty good. but, not really, he has 20 bottles left standing. the host brings a tray of 20 maggot/worm/stink bettles/rotten fish eye shots and the guy starts chugging away. just watching makes me run out of the room gagging.
maybe i’m crazy–but would you do that? for a CHANCE to win 50 grand? (which is probably only 25 grand after taxes).
tell ya, i don’t think there is any amount of money that would motivate me to drink those shots.
anything to do with eating maggots, raw meat, and any of that other crap is a deal breaker for me. I would not be able to do it, even for a million. I would be for sure barfing. But I sometimes like watching that show, most of the chicks are pretty hot and are wearing very little clothing.
this is kinda like bob dole in a viagra advertisement, dr. drizzay in a coors commercial, seinfeld doing that stupid superman mini sitcom for amex. everybody is selling out!
Paris hilton famous for being famous, johnny fairplay is famous for being an asshole, johnny knoxville is famous for having jai alai players chuck oranges at his ass.
Just put me on tv and give me some f’cking money!
although who knows. I remember offering other kids a dollar to do something stupid when I was a kid. now we’re all growns up, and we’re having a show where we offer people money to do stupid disgusting things.
yes it seems that big breasts and microscopic waist lines are a requirement for the show. i have no problem with that, or the handsome guys, but man…when they bust out the sheep and cow eyes, pig uterus, or sucking milk from a goat, I’m out.
there is no way i could do it. it would only be possible if my husband’s life depended on it. but def not for money…that is like selling out to the devil or something. HA!
I have great control over my gag reflex. Heck, growing up Filipino, my dad prepared some strange stuff when I was young.
I have always said I’d kick butt on Fear Factor, but like it was mentioned above, I don’t fit their image as I’m short and stocky and older than 24. I have done strange stuff for a heck of a lot less
I can’t even watch that show its so nasty. And for $50K?? That is not very much money in the grand scheme of things. They must be doing it for the exposure. Although who wants to be recognized as the girl that ate live spiders as they crawled out her mouth? EEEEEEWWWWW…kj
Dave Chapelle did a skit spoofing fear factor where one of the contestants was a crackhead. The challenge was who could eat the most moose penises. The crackhead won by inhaling his and then asking if he finished if he could finish the other contestants as well without being penalized…

Fear factor does seem to be a “T & A” show.
Survivor is the same – Seems like they go out of thier way to show Stephanie in her Bikini – but hey – that’s why I watch.
I don’t know why they call it “fear” factor. It should be Gross Factor.
This reminds me of the sickest thing I saw in my life last week. I was at a friends house, on his back patio. One guy drank too much and was about to get sick. This was after a big dinner. My friend told him if he was going to get sick then to go out the back gate and puke in the grass. Couple minutes later he goes out there and pukes. When he comes back in he says “It looks like Jake is the real winner here” (Jake is my friend’s dog) Just then you could hear the dog chowing down on the puke! I got up and walked out and drove home without saying a word (gagging the whole way out to the car)!
I loved Dave as the homeless crack junkie sleeping in a tank of worms , after others only did 2- 5 minutes . He asks for the lights to be dimmed and covers up with a news paper to sleep after 30 minutes. Wolfing down a few pig penises to win . Spending his 50K on a basket ball sized ROCK of crack cocaine . Greats spoof on a stupid show.
