Couples that have split up reunite for a chance at $50,000. The contest begins with an exercise in trust that involves a speeding boat. Also: teams are forced to handle live scorpions and then drive cars through a high-speed obstacle course.
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!?
