Watch Fear Factor (Original)
To get the desired cash prize, Fear Factor contestants must complete three challenges, the last of which has to be done faster and better than their opponents, making for a hectic finale. Although the format varies occasionally, the first challenge is typically a physical stunt, that always involves a heavy dosage of fear! Everything from jumping between two buildings to having to escape from an underwater burial, the first stunt alone is often more than most competitors can take.
Those who make it through the first challenge are then faced with the stunt that claims the most competitors and is often referred to as the "Gross-out" stunt. These can range from having to crawl through a tunnel filled with rats, to having to eat disgusting animal parts or bugs, all without vomiting! The contestants who claimed they would do anything for the money really have to prove it with the situations the second stunt places them in!
The few contestants who survive the first challenge and endure the second are faced with the last, often hardest, stunt. These stunts always involve something competitive and dangerous, dealing with everything from water to heights. Those competitors who really want the money have to push themselves to the limit to outplay their opponents and win the final challenge, going home with 50 grand the ability to say that fear is not a factor for them!
