In the final episode of the three-part arc, where contestants are forced to live and compete in and around the Psycho House and the Bates Motel, the pressure is almost unbearable.

In the first stunt, couples are put in a straight jacket and each person will be timed as they struggle to eat two live Iraqi Camel Spiders. With the female contestants trapped inside the infamous Psycho House, their partners race to detonate the biggest explosion in the history of Fear Factor, blowing the women out of the house as it demolishes behind them. A quarter of a million dollars is at stake.

This week's home invasion takes us to Dallas, Texas. A new twist to the show this season features host Joe Rogan traveling all over the country challenging people to "Fear Factor" stunts right in their own home for the chance to win a $5,000 Capital One credit card.
