Stunt #1: Triple Beam Walk High above the ground, contestants would have to walk three 40-foot long beams which were only 3 inches wide. The beams were suspended at different levels, so contestants would have to climb rope ladders to get from one beam to the next. When they reached the end of the final beam, they would have to release a flag. The four contestants to complete this stunt the fastest or get the furthest the fastest before falling would advance to the next round. The others would be eliminated. Stunt #2: Glass Walking Contestants would have to walk on broken glass with bare feet. They would throw rocks at windows numbered 5-10 to determine how many feet they would have to walk on broken glass. All contestants to complete their glass walk would advance to the finals. Stunt #3: Magnetic Car Drop Contestants would be standing on the hood of a car over 100 feet high as a magnetic arm swung it over a junkyard. When they felt the car was over an X mark, they would press a button to disengage the magnet and drop the car out from under them. The contestant whose car landed closest to the X would be the Fear Factor Champion.moreless
  • weak episode - stunts are either too hard or too easy.

    I\'m watching a rerun of this episode in syndication, and I imagine the stunt producers caught some hell for this episode.

    The first stunt is a three tier suspension of construction beams hanging between two cranes. The competitors are suposed to cross one beam, climb up a ladder, cross the second beam, climb up another ladder, and then cross the final beam and grab a flag. None of the six players made it more than 10 feet across the first beam. It was ridiculous.

    The second stunt was glass walking. The players had to throw a rock through a number in a window to determine how many feet they had to walk across the glass. It might have been interesting if they would have made it longer. The longest length was ten feet. All of the players made it across, easy.

    Third stunt, contestants stand on a car hooked up to a magnet. When the crane moves the magnet over a target they have to push a button to release the car (they are attached to a another rope). There is hardly any drama at all.

    There is a cute girl in the episode, I think from Jersey - I wish she would have won. Instead the money went to the self-professed gay guy who was planning to buy butt implants with his winnings. Other than that.... *yawn*.
