I never watch fear factor, but passed by it last week.

atleast it had cheese...they have eaten worse... think big fat green worms that squirt juices out of their rear end and out of your mouth when you bite em, leaving you drooling with worm juice.


Deeelicious aint it?
 
i thought it was funny how that guy was eating it, turnign all red and trying not to hurl and had snot and stuff was all over his face and the other guy was just laughin his ass off.. then when it came time for the other guy to do it .. he just said hell no and threw the bowl down and walked away...
 
Got a buddy that's in the rigging business (all those cabling from high buildings) for the film industry.. he told me that he wouldn't trust the rigging they ususally don't have a lot of time to test their cables before the contestants goes up. :Q

I have done search and rescue for years, and when I see how they harness the contestants sometimes it scares me. Those ropes could get cut on any number of surfaces as they fall from some stunts. It only takes a small edge to cause a rope to fail under those stresses.

 
What's scary, is that I may have eaten a maggot before. A long time ago, hmm, maybe 10+yrs... I bit into a cookie, ate that bite, and when I looked at the cookie (as I was getting ready to eat the next bite) there was a (whole) maggot crawling out from a gap in the middle. :disgust::|😱 So, I'm not sure if I took one or not. I was PO'd. The food was from a pretty popular bakery that my relatives had stopped by when they came over to visit the day before.

Anyway, I wouldn't eat maggots or pretty much anything I've seen flipping through that show (I don't watch but it's on a day I flip channels a lot) for $50K or even $100K. I shouldn't say never though, maybe If I was in trouble and asked to as a way to save my family from a life of hardship. Based on my current standard of living, I just don't think I would on purpose, ever.

Sad. I don't understand it. I remember even as a kid (7-8) playing that 'what would you eat for $1,000,000' game. (You'd try and think of something so gross the other person would say no, until the prize got to all the money in the world and someone still said no. )

Even then I wouldn't have pretended to eat maggots for $50K. No pride these people.

makes for good tv
 
I don't know though.... Some of that crap that they eat is gross to us, but there are tribes in South America and Africa that eat sick crap like that all the time as their regular food and have no problems with it. It's all psychological.
 
a girl from my school (UF) will be on next weeks episode filmed in Las Vegas.... check it out 😀
 
I'd probby eat maggots or cow brains or whatever...

First, I'd try to sear it with a cigarette lighter blow torch.. I mean - at least then it's cooked. I don't think I've seen that banned in the rules anywhere.

Either way, though, I'd probby still eat that crap for $50,000. I've never known what worms taste like. I hear they're high in protein. Big whoop.. I'll eat it. Eyes? so.. I'll eat that too. I can't picture it tasting any worse than eggplant. I think I could eat a whole meal of the worst food I've ever had. I'd even eat a taco bell taco if I saw the guy spit in it.. I wouldn't care. I would eat it right in front of him and say it tasted extra special.

If I got food poisoning from any of it, I'd sue for a hell of a lot more than $50,000, though.

I just don't understand what eating that bullshit has to do with fear.. It's more like 'gross factor'.. I'm surprised they haven't done anything like "stick your hand into a cow's ass" or "let this fat man poop on your face"

I think the show was neat when its first few episodes only had FEAR type stuff.


EDIT: hey aphex, I was on the bus reading that article in the paper I think on Tuesday.. The guy next to me said that she won. I dunno if he knew for sure - but he seemed to.
 
I think that if you were actually there and weighing the 50k versus a bowl of crap, I bet most people would eat the crap. Sitting here, I don't think I would, but if I were actually on the show I'd atleast give it a try.
