Fear Factor

Since the original "Fear Factor" aired, many reality shows have incorporated some of the FF standards, like eating disgusting insects or scaling heights, into their challenges. As a result, some of these stunts may feel passe.

But MTV has resurrected the show, starring Ludicrous as host.

In the first round, four teams of two play "Beat the Beast" and face something creepy and crawly. After the losing team is eliminated, the remaining three teams play "Face Your Fear", where the stunts are tailored to the contestants' personal fears. Then the remaining two teams play "Final Fear".

The first episode involves hissing cockroaches, claustrophobia, and a water-related stunt that is actually scary. The winning team wins $50,000.

Not a show for everyone, but by now, everyone should know if it is for them.

The old fear factor is so much better. It's the definition of the title. They did challenges that actually pushed you to your limit. Not like the new one where the stunts are just about cell phones and eating mayonnaise and ice cream. Everyone's a bunch of pansies now a days and they need to bring back the old fear factor and host! The new one is garbage.h

Loved watching Fear Factor when Joe was host.Now, I don't care to watch it. Ludacrisp is such a poor host, trying to be smooth with the ladies, and they just eat it up because he's famous. Get rid of Crispy and bring back the Joe, or you lose at least 7 viewers in my circle, and from the looks of these reviews, a lot more than my 7.

Ludicrous is a nice guy and cute as can be . I am a fan , just not as a host of fear factor . He talks too much and doesn't seem comfortable . Joe Rogan is much better .. We will watch because we are a fan of FF . The new stunts are great and very creative . But something is missing ..

I like Ludicras, BUT not as a Fear Factor Host. Joe Rogan adds more excitement to the show's events :) I voted 10 for Joe Rogan as the show host. I like that ladies and gentlemen are involved as contestants. I trust that the show will not 'Kill" contestants with the challenges. It is interesting to see what contestants are willing to complete for a chance to win $50,000. I think the prizes should include all teams (maybe like $100,000.; $70,000.; and $50,000.).
