Contestants must pair up with a complete stranger for the chance to win $50,000. First, one person will be weighted down underwater with over 100 pounds of weights. The partner must unclip 17 weights and free them before the air supply runs out. Then, each of the couples will have to eat disgusting picnic foods, including fly shakes, worm-stuffed hotdogs and rotten tuna fish sandwiches. Finally, the teams must crawl under a moving train stunt that will test their partnerships.
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!?
