Hosted by Joe Rogan (“NewsRadio”),
NBC’s newest alternative series pits real people against each other,
extreme challenges -- and themselves -- in the hope of taking home a
cash prize of up to $50,000 at the end of each one hour, primetime
episode.
In each pulse-racing
“Fear Factor” episode, six contestants (three women and three men)
recruited from across the nation must decide if they have the guts and
determination to face their most primal fears. Under the supervision of
professional Hollywood stunt coordinators, contestants are confronted
with a series of challenging stunts. The stunts they are asked to
perform range from: leaping from one moving semi-truck to another; to
facing the challenge of having to lie still while covered in live
snakes; to walking across a six-and-one-half inch-wide beam suspended
more than 100 feet in the air.
If they complete their
task they advance; if fear stops them from completing a stunt or they
fail the mission, they are immediately eliminated. The contestant who
wins the final challenge takes home the grand prize of $50,000.
