Show Summary

  • Returning Series

"Imagine a world where your greatest fears become reality." In each pulse-racing "Fear Factor" episode, contestants recruited across the country battle in extreme stunts. These stunts are designed to challenge the contestants both physically and mentally. If a player is too afraid to complete or fails a stunt, the player is eliminated. If they succeed, they are one step closer to the grand prize: $50,000.

    Ick, yuck, disgusting, this show makes me get sick to my stomach and want to throw up. How can anyone stand to watch even 2 minutes of this sickening vomitous show? Eating atrocious things that even a starving Ethiopian or skeleton from the Holocoust would rather stare or kill themselves than try to eat these things. Even Survivorman would not even begin to think about eating most of the garbage that most of these careless daredevils were forced to choke down. Where did the writers or creators get their ideas from? Were any doctors or dieticians consulted as to the safety of the things they had to eat? Each of these contestants should have been examined by a shrink before even being allowed to come on these types of shows. I think that anyone that chooses to come on most reality shows have got to be mentally ill or have seriously low self-esteem to debase themself to this level! I'm pretty sure that even the most primitive isolated cultures/ communites left on this planet would find this show disturbing to say the least!! I am sooooooooo happy they took this monstrosity off the air!moreless

    This show used to be pretty okay...Maybe. But it has had WAY too many gross episodes. How are they gross? Well, would you go on TV and eat bugs? I sure wouldn't! Not even for a million dollars! The things they make these contestants do is very disturbing! I used to watch this show and now I merely talk about it to people once in a while. The host of this show once played on the formerly hit show 'The Weakest Link'. As for the here and now, I don't know if this show is still on the air. Nor do I really care. Sorry.moreless

  • I think fear factor is one of the most exciting shows out there. Every time there are amazing big stunts, the tension between the contestants is big. They also talk eachother down, as part of the mindgame. They also do special shows like couples, twins.moreless

    I think fear factor is one of the most exciting shows out there. Every time there are amazing big stunts, the tension between the contestants is big. They also talk eachother down, as part of the mindgame. They also do special shows like couples, twins, family wich makes it extra unique. It's always fun to see contestants who're cocky, big mouth and anoying as hell to loose stunts and go home. The presenter is a litle bit too much mister popular, but it's always better then a dull host for this show. Overall a great show that makes you wanna see more.moreless
