I just love watching fear factor. This is the show where contestants need to face their worst fears. This is also a competition where the winner would get$50, 000, hence the contestants need to be quick.
The challenges include physical stuff like removing flags dangling from a net below a helicopter, etc. Most of the shows would include eating something disgusting like beetles, ancient eggs, etc.
I like watching the show, as it is interesting to watch the people fight to conquer their fears to achieve the end goal of winning the prize.
This show is conducted in the US!
The show does try to make it interesting by getting different kinds of participants:
1) Army, navy, airforce, etc
2) state beauty contest pageant winners
3) twins
4) Etc
The last part of the show is where they drop in to a house and ask the family members to something like eat the food(beetles, etc) or move bad smelling stuff across plates with their mouths.
There is no other such programme coming on any of the channels. They did try to replicate it in India, but it failed to take off!
