Fear Factor

When the last episode left off, the couples were freaking out because Madagascar hissing cockroaches started pouring out of the walls and ceiling. At the beginning of this episode, someone tossed a brick though the window that said the couple to collect the most roaches would win a prize. Clayton and Shanti started getting as many as they could and putting them in pillowcases while Lacy was freaking out. Giulianna and Paulo were trying to get close to the holes where Shanti was collecting roaches, but Shanti was getting in their way and getting all the roaches. Lacey mostly stayed on the bed while Chad tried to get as many roaches as he could. The next morning the roaches were counted. Each couple had collected over 1,000 roaches, but Clayton & Shanti caught the most. In addition to getting to pick the order for the next stunt, they won a seven-day trip to the Breezes Curaçao resort and spa off the coast of Venezuela.

Stunt #1 (Eat the Camel Spider)
Clayton & Shanti chose Chad & Lacey go first. Chad picked the spider up and bit off the gigantic abdomen while the other half still squirmed his hand. He said it tasted like possum. Lacey was afraid to put the spider in her mouth, let alone pick it up. She finally picked it up and took a bite out of it. She gagged with every bite she took, but got it down. Chad ate his second spider without much gagging. Lacey thought she would puke, but she managed to get her second spider down. They had a total of two minutes off their time. Chad used his teeth to undo Lacey's straight jacket, and then she undid his with her hands. They got out in 29 seconds, so their final time with the deduction was -1:31. Paulo & Giulianna were next. They were both committed and powered down both of their spiders for a deduction of two minutes from their time. Paulo got Guilianna free first, and then she freed him. They completed the stunt in 28 seconds, for a final time of -1:32. Clayton & Shanti were last. Clayton got his down without any trouble. Shanti did not mind eating the spiders, but the first one crawled off the plate and she was afraid to pick it up. She chased it around the parking lot finally caught it. She bit it in half, but the uneaten half got away and she had to catch it again. Clayton got bit on the lip while eating his second spider, but this did not deter him. Shanti also ate her second spider. Clayton got Shanti free with his teeth, but Shanti had trouble getting the straight jacket off Clayton. Their time was 33 seconds, for a final time of -1:27. Clayton & Shanti were eliminated.

Stunt #2 (Psycho House explosion)
Lacey and Giulianna started unscrewing sticks of dynamite while Chad and Paulo started assembling the detonator. Guilianna was having trouble aiming for the window while Lacey seemed a bit more precise. Outside, Chad seemed to be getting the detonator assembled faster than Paulo. Chad got the wire first and pushed the plunger, blowing the front wall off the front of the Psycho House and sending the women flying through the air. Since Chad got the detonator assembled first, he and Lacy would get an additional two sticks of dynamite. Giulianna had unscrewed 6 sticks of dynamite and Lacey had unscrewed 4 sticks of dynamite. However, Giulianna only got 1 stick out the window while Lacey got 3, plus the two for best time, for a total of 5. Chad & Lacey were the Psycho Fear Factor Champions and they were going home with $250,000.

Home Invasion Stunt (Gulp and grab)
Mom decided to put her head in the tank. Katie downed the first shot and took a while finding a key. Dad was second and found a key quickly. Another daughter was third and took a while finding a key.
