Fear Factor

This show is wonderful and not even close to MTV's Show Fear. This show pits 6 contestants against each other for 50,000 dollars. They have to complete 3 stunts. Some of the stunts are physical, most are mental though. I would recommend this show to anyone that likes to see how people react in the face of their fears.

So what if it doesnt test there fear its still an awsome show all my friends watch it and so do i . i think its a great show . why are all of you complaining ? so what that its not all about fear what is your aim ? what are you trying to get at by all these comments ? do you want them to change the nam . how about see who can last the longest show ? no i didnt think so. fear factor . the name is inviting . if you dont think its fair dont be a contestaint . as simple as that . now have a great day :)

p.s . to imdb i love fear factor its a great show keep up the good work .

I used to watch Fear Factor when they were going for mostly dangerous stunts. Of course, the writers and producers of the show had a hit an all-time low by burying people in innocent animals (like rats and spiders) and making them eat disgusting stuff (I can handle the coagulated blood balls...sort of...but WHY do they have to eat hissing cockroaches, one of my favorite insects?? That's barbaric and cruel, no matter how small or "disgusting" the animal).

The basic idea of the show: Get a group of morons together, and dare them to do stupid stuff. Whoever is left standing at the end of the mess wins (I think) $50,000.

I have since stopped watching this show. It's not about true fear anymore, but about grossing people out.

This is a really good show. It's not for people with weak stomachs, though. I'm glad that the television companies have finally gotten the guts to air something like this on TV. The stunts they do and the things they eat (or things that munch on them) are completely shocking. Kudos to the people who think of these stunts!

American pop culture, whether you love it or hate it, is here to stay and "Fear Factor" is no exception. As host Joe Rogan puts it "The stunts are extremely dangerous and should not be attempted by anyone, anywhere, anytime", that's a statement that has true meaning to what this show is all about. I must say that although most of the episodes are not all that, there are some that are truly gross and will make you or your hot date freak out almost immediately. The cast consists of 3 males and 3 females, but I prefer to see the female side of things on this show. Likewise, seeing beautiful, scantly-clad babes competing for $50,000 is enough to draw a male audience. All in all, this show is living proof that pop culture is once again here to stay in the good 'ol U.S of A!!!
