Anybody here ever think about going on "Fear Factor"?

Has anybody here ever thought about auditioning for "Fear Factor"? Man, I have- I freakin' love that show! But two things prevent me from actually calling the number (or e-mailing or whatever it is). I would be the one they have in the bikini with the long lingering shots and then Joe Rogan would hit on me, and my parents would find out I'm on and it would be really weird, but man, I could do that stuff!

No

 

No. I hate water......so no stupid " go under water and tune a piano" stunts for me......and I have a hard enough time eating raisins, never mind Swahilian Frog Intestines!

 

If I was to work out for a couple of years... maybe.

 

I don't know the show, although I think I can guess what it's about.

 

No amount of money would be enough for me to do even half the things they do on that show - those people are sick, in my opinion!

 

Erin, you might want to post in THIS THREAD too.

 

Yeah! That's reason enough for you to call! You could get famous...

 

No way I would do it. I can deal with lethal gases and maybe even heights, but I can't stand creepy crawlers! Scorpions crawling on my face? NO FRIGGIN' WAY, JOSE!

 

Ditto.

 

no fear factor for me, i can't stand to touch a spider web, let alone a spider!

i must say though, my wife and i would love to do the amazing race.

I wouldn't go on because I'd be afraid of the GIANT FAKE BOOBS that all the women contestants have!

 

That's what gives them confidence to go on the show, though.

 

I didn't know that eating bugs and things was a self esteem issue (LOL).

 

As a vegetarian I would never ever even watch that show.

I mean, y'all can enjoy chicken but platypus uterus?

Joe is a chimp and the people on the show are short nasty and brutish.

God bless America.

This title of the show is where I have to stop. Fear Factor seems like a joke when you consider what they are doing. Other than some freak accident, there is basically no way one could be hurt doing any of the lame stunts. With that in mind the fear protion is basically removed for me. The only "risk" they have is looking foolish, or not winning the game that day. Some of the physical stunts look pretty fun. The eating, lying in, touching or what ever, of the gooey things is kinda gross, but certainly not something to fear.
So, yes, I have thought about going on the show. I would most likely not make the cut however because I could not get past the show contestant pickers. The stuff they do is NOT fearful compared to things I have already done in life. I'm not bragging, or saying I'm some sort of big deal. I am as regular a guy as one could ever hope to meet who has done some pretty scary things...and by good graces, I made it out alive.
