Fear Factor

[jeffrey]

Anybody a fan of 'Fear Factor'? Could anybody do the stunts? Eat the gross food? I love this show, but I could not, for any amount of money, eat the food they have to eat! Plus, I'm afraid of heights.

 

[Green Gaia]

No, I don't watch it, not my "cup of tea" really.

I like the show. I would probably be able to do it unless it involved being trapped/buried in something, or involved water. (Well, mentally I would be able to. I don't know about physically. Some of those stunts might take a lot of strength I just haven't developed.)

Could ou eat the cockroaches and spiders and 100 year old eggs? I couldn't! My stomach gets woozie just watching!

 

[Aqualung]

Probably. I don't think most of it would taste that bad. It's just getting past that psychology, which may be tough, but not too tough.

Tea ? You sound positively English - Not mine either.

I am with you jgallandt. There is no way I could eat the food and am also afraid of heights. Now they do have the occasional stunt that I wouldn't mind trying like flipping a car onto its roof. Although, driving anything off of a cliff is a no no .

I'm happy to try most things once. Doing it for the sake of anyone else's entertainment other than my own is another matter, however .

I could do the water stunts too, as long as there was no altitude involved!

Gee, when you put it that way.....

Though if I saw somebody throwing up, it would probably make me throwing up. Even hearing people gag makes me want to barf. That's my weak spot.

LOL! How about doing all the stunts, eating all that tasty stuff, then loosing on the last stunt, going home without a dime!

 

[Aqualung]

Yeah, that would be a major bummer! But, you still get all that air time on TV...

I really dislike Fear Factor. I tend to find abusing animals (the snake 'stunts') for our "enjoyment" disgusting.

Oh I didn't realise they did this . It is the same reason why I stopped watching I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here because I felt uncomfortable watching animals die for my entertainment.

I love Fear Factor. It proves some people will do ANYTHING for money.

So true! I don't see them harming animals, unless eating a slug or a bug abusing animals. They might put you in a pit and cover you with snakes, but no harm comes to the snakes.

 

[CaptainXeroid]

I don't care for the stunts, I am not amused by the 'trash-talking' among the players....I just have no use for the show. Sorry.

Only psychological damage! what would you do if you had some fellas arse in your face!

I never watch it myself because the whole RAH! RAH! thing some of you yanks have going on pi$$es me off goooood. But when I do watch it. . . .

:biglaugh:

Oh boy! funniest. thing. ever.
