Do any of you watch Fear Factor? We work on the day that it is on, but we use TIVO to record it. It is a pretty cool show, but some of those stunts, you couldn't get me to do them for $50,000! This past week, one of the stunts was to throw a razor sharp dart.... whatever # it landed on.... um, that is how many crickets they had to eat!
Oh, that was just sick!
I think that it would make me
!!
They showed a preview to next week's show and the stunt looks awfully sickening....... they have to eat sheep eyeballs!
Ok, I know that it is based on your fears, but come on: eating bugs and eye balls is not a fear... I just would walk a way from that, wouldn't you? But, I guess there are some who would do it for the money!!

Hey!! I also watch that show here in England!! I have'n tseen the dart one you mentioned but I've already seen the sheep eyeball one! - it is soooooo gross and they have to eat THREE!!! eeeccchh!!! They also had one where they were put in aglass coffin like thing and were strapped in, then millions of live worms were chucked in on top of them!! (and some of them had to EAT some!!) gross!!! but the worst one I saw the other day was when they strapped them in the coffin thingy again and this time it was live rats that were chucked on top of them!!! Noooooo!!! They were all screaming and yelling, and came out covered in bites and scratches!! oouch! - They must be looney to lay there for four minutes being chomped to death!! I'd want a whole lot more than £50,000 for doing that!!! :laughing2 :laughing:

I wouldn't do any of that for 50,000.. *shudder* YUCK I wouldn't eat any of that for even $100,000. You'd have to pay me much more than that to put any of that gross stuff in my mouth.


I'd do the rat/worm thing for 100,000 but not 50,000. I was talking to Craig about it and he said he'd eat the crickets, worms, eyes for 50,000 and he'd do the coffin rat thing for 50,000 if the rats were clean.

He's outta his mind!

Thats grossssss

Only one of them win!!! - the one who gets through all the tasks!! (or if more than 1 get through, its the person who did it the quickest!) So all the other contestants do all that yukky gross stuff for nothing if they don't win!!!

I love this show!!! I think it would be fantastic to be on it. I would have a hard time eating some of the disgusting items they have to eat, but I would be game for all else.

$50,000 could really solve a lot of problems for me, plus none of that stuff is going to kill ya... only make you stonger :LOL:

I watch this show every week with kind of a morbid curiousity. The height things would really kill me! Also - the one segment where they dumped a million snakes on those people in a cave would have had me running for my life! The money is NOT ENOUGH!

Lets list OUR 3 biggest fears.......maybe we could send our list to the show........
1) heights
2) snakes
3) drowning

I watch the show in UK aswell and YUK the rats were gross.
One thing I find unfair is that one of the stunts always seems to require a lot of strength and this is when the woman seem to fail
All the shows I have seen so far have been won by the men !

I agree SpikeAdelika!! Both me and my husband say that every show!!!
There is always one where the men have advantage over the women, simply beacuase they're bigger and stronger!! (I know theres always exceptions to the rule here but you know.....)

Still at least the girls have a go!! (which is more than I can say for myself!!)

!! they had to eat....BULLS TESTICLES!!!! two in four minutes!, they were bolied, but they had to break the skin with their teeth, then peel it off and munch away, you could even see all the veins !! but the worst bit was that as they were peeling it off, all this "stuff" kept squirting out!!
!! (who knows what it was!! Hope it was just water!) It was so gross even the presenter was heaving up just watching them!! And believe me, they weren't small!! Gees, I just don't know how they could do it, I certainly couldn't!!!

That is disgusting...

I did not see that one. The episode from Monday night
was Sheep eyes. Pretty gross too... stuff was squirting
out of them.

The worst part was they had live sheep eating hay right behind
them when they were eating it.

2nd reason, I don't eat animals, or parts of animals. :angel2:

I wonder why they make them eat something gross in every show. It's not scary, just disgusting!
