If you could be on Fear Factor, would you?

[WillJ]

If you're not familiar with Fear Factor, it's a reality TV show where people compete for a grand prize of $50,000 by doing stunts that many people would be afraid of doing. These include doing meanial tasks while up really high in the air, eating disgusting things, and being covered with insects. These stunts are supervised by trained professionals, and contestants undergo preperation for them, so I imagine they're perfectly safe.

And as a related question, what do you think of people that do enter the show?

Oh, and please don't turn this thread into a rant on how bad (or good) the show is, or how reality TV shows are leading to American stupidity, obesity, AIDS cases, etc.

I would not appear on the program because I think (a) it is trash and (b) I would hate to ever be associated with that program.

No it's a stupid crap ass show for loser who have nothing bette to do with their life. Also 50,000 is'nt enough.

 

[Achinz]

Reminds me of an older Japanese TV show (they seem to be real sadists there) where people are put next to say gorillas to test their fear factor.

I'd be a bit hesitant to trust the TV people.

I wouldn't go on a show to do stupid stunts to win some money.

 

[KaNick]

I'd go on and play until I got to the part where I would have to eat eyeballs or something else as repulsive as that.

 

[Cilpot]

If I didnt have to eat something or do anything insect-related i'd have no problem being on the show.

Lots of the "extreme" things they do looks like fun

 

[Archer 007]

No, because the show is silly and stupid.

 

[h4ppy]

I would go on until an event involving high places ornd spiders. (in other words I would make it to either the first or second round before walking away)

 

[CIVPhilzilla]

I like watching the show, but wouldn't want to compete on it.

 

[Maj]

If I had perfect teeth, a nice rack and a flawless physique I'd qualify as a contestant.

So I'll say no, because I don't look like Barbie. Or Ken.

 

[Silverflame]

No, because the show is fake.

 

[BloodyPepperoni]

Perhaps, but the money is certainly not

 

[Marla_Singer]

I don't see how we are a heroe when we eat the bull balls. I would be glad to do some stuff... but I won't eat those disgusting stuff. And it's not because I'm scared of bull balls... simply because I don't see where's the point.

 

[h4ppy]

the buffalo testicles were a great stunt, and the point is the money.

So, they're whores!

Enough said.

 

[silver 2039]

If it tasted good and was cooked and I could'nt get any disease from it I would eat it.

 

[Shadylookin]

If i got to be the host i would otherwise since I'm not one for the eating of repulsive food and pointless dangerous stunts I wouldn't be.
