im not attractive enough for one

of course i would.

$50,000 would come in very handy. you'll all realize that when you have kids and a house.

NO SH!T!:roll:

That show rocks. Mindless stunts and T&A coupled with nasty stuff to eat. Couldn't ask for a better way to waste an hour

I used to think that show was nasty, but now I'm hooked.

You're going to eat cow testies and freaking roaches for 50,000 ... in that case... you better win

I fuggin despise this show. I wish they would at least take it off primetime.

What's worse is that they love to show the commercials (involving eating insects or other disgusting stuff) during dinner time. Perfect. Show me b00bs or people taking a header into the ocean, but don't show me people eating insects. :roll:

Don't watch the show but I would do it. 50k is pretty good incentive and I could handle the nasty stuff...

If they promised me there wouldn't be anything that involved eating something, then I would. But I wouldn't bother if there was eating because there's no way I'd be able to do that.

I wouldn't have a bit of a problem doing the stuff they want them to do...
I'd even mock them (assuming I wouldn't get disqualified). "Mmmmmm..... these eyeballs are sooooo yummy. Got any more? Hey, can I wash it down with that bug fluid?"

It's not shocking... it's just gross. I've got a strong stomach.
