Still @ work :(
What did they do?
Some of the stunts & stuff they do are pretty cool, but could lose me if they start getting to wierd.

They were peircing the peoples arms with larger and larger needles until they used them all or said stop. One girl was balling her eyes out, pretty crazy.

The outer part of their bicept. They pulled them out when they said stop or it was done. One dude was bleeding all over, gross.

Fvck that :(
I liked that show ... driving cars on moving tractor trailers, hanging from helicopters, climbing through spinning tubes with holes in it, lots of high stuff.
I could have done without some of the eating stuff (thought the cow spinal cord was a bit over the line ... mad cow disease anyone?).
But this is to far, why'd they have to go do stupid sh|t like that?

I guess I know where fear becomes a factor for me ... not sorry I missed tonights.

They're attention whores who will risk not being considered a normal, sane person anymore just for a few thousand bucks. What else is there to say?

Yup, your right, and I won't be watching anymore if that kind of crap keeps up.
I'm just disapointed that what seemed to be a decent show decided they had to go down that road.
If I were one of the contestants, I'd have walked away as soon as I knew what the task was. A slim chance @ $50K isn't worth it.

Maybe I'm making it sound worse than it is, or I'm just not very squirmish over needles. But they put about 8 or 10 needles, and the largest was probably about the size of a syringe. Smallest was probably a sewing needle of some kind.

it should be called "pain and gross out" factor then.. unless you have a fear of bugs, theres usually not much fear

That's sad. I can imagine people having to face their fears and such, but actually mutilating someone's body crosses the line.
