Stunt #1: Water Paddle Contestants would be locked onto a vertical spinning wheel by one wrist and both ankles. As they were dunked repeatedly in and out of the water, they would have to unlock themselves from all the shackles, pull a release cord, and swim to a buoy to stop the clock. The two men and the two women to complete this stunt the fastest would advance to the next round. The others would be eliminated.

Fear Factor Show Summary

In each pulse-racing "Fear Factor" episode, contestants (sometimes solo, often paired with spouses, siblings or best friends) recruited from across the nation must decide if they have the guts and determination to face their most primal fears. Under the supervision of professional Hollywood stunt coordinators, contestants are confronted with a series of challenging stunts.

If they complete their task they advance; if fear stops them from completing a stunt or they fail the mission, they are immediately eliminated. The contestant who wins the final challenge takes home the prize.Now to bare to watch is fear a factor for you!?
