Fear Factor

This episode featured four ex-couples competing as teams.

Stunt #1 (Boat lean & grab) Teams would have to cross 12-inch wide balance beams on top of a moving boat. The men would be on one balance beam holding a rope while the women would be across from them on another balance beam holding the other end of the rope. As they crossed the beams, the women would have to lean out and grab six flags along the way while the men supported them with the rope. The team to get the most flags the fastest before falling into the water would get to pick which team they wanted to eliminate.

Stunt #2 (Scorpion Helmet Spin) Both team members would be strapped to a wheel with their heads inside Plexiglas boxes containing 75 emperor scorpions. When the wheel began to rotate, they would have to have to pick up scorpions off the ground and put the scorpions in their boxes. The team to collect the least number of scorpions in two minutes would be eliminated.

Stunt #3 (Freeway car swap) Both team members would be in cars on the back of flatbed semi trucks as they barreled down a freeway. They would have to back their cars down the ramps of the flatbeds, plow through barricades and water barrels, negotiate through swerving traffic, and drive their car onto the bed of the opposite truck than they started on. The team to complete this stunt fastest would be the Ex Factor Fear Factor Champions.
