Could you handle Fear Factor?

#1 Postby Guest » Sun Nov 23, 2003 11:43 pm

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the show Fear Factor. From eating bugs, to jumping out of planes, could you handle it? How would you fair if you were a contestant?

I say absolutely positively no way would I even think about becoming a contestant. $50,000 isn't worth THAT to me.

The stunts look like they could be fun (some of them)
Eating stuff.. I could handle bugs and stuff, but not living things parts that aren't meant to be. Like eyeballs and such

I might not win and I'm not the supermodel type of contestant they usually have, but I'd go for it. :)

Mentally and emotionally, I handle extreme situations very well (training kicks in); physically, I'm not up to it.

I would never ever consider it! I can't even handle WATCHING it!! The stunts are one thing, but the stuff they eat gags me!!

Even if the prize was a million dollars, it wouldn't be worth it because I'd die of a heart attack if I tried to eat that junk and wouldn't get the money anyway! :roll:

LOL Duck, I am glad someone else caught the fact that there has never been an unattractive contestant!! :lol:

I think I could handle the stunts, but anything that had to do with spiders or the nasty stuff they eat, I coudln't handle!!!! So that's a big NO for me!!!

Maybe if they paid me a billion dollars to do it. On second thought, no amount of money would make me do it.
