    Great show!

    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!

    whatever :)

    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 :)

    Fear inducing stunts, scantly-clad babes, in Los Angeles? SIGN ME UP!!!!

    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!!!

    Awesome

    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.

    IT'S THE BEST

    I love the show. My friends hate it but sometimes i get them to watch except when the eating stunts come on. If you didn't have to eat nasty stuff i would to be a contestant. I mainly like the jumping out of stuff but i can't swim. I also like crashing cars, but i can't drive. that doesn't matter but for $50,000 i would try anything once. Also i love the host, he is a gas. He tells it like it is and he is a great motivator for getting you to eat anything. He also needs to show a few competitors how to do the stunts, that would be great. I read all the other comments and all I have to say is, "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T WATCH IT."

    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!

    • Quotes

      Joe Rogan - Host: I'm Joe Rogan, and this is Fear Factor. The stunts you are about to see were all designed and supervised by trained professionals. They are extremely dangerous and should not be attempted by anyone, anywhere, anytime!
