Fear Factor

My wife and I absolutley love this show. It's pretty much the only thing on TV I like to watch (aside from American Chopper). Anyone else addicted to Fear Factor?

In the beginning, Fear factor was a good title. It is now gross factor. I mean, dont get me wrong, I love it ... but I really do wish they had more stunts and the like.

I LOVE THE SHOW!!!! At first the eating gross stuff was gross, but I have gotten over that. The only two stunts that I couldn't watch was the needles and walking over broken glass. The stunts do get a little old, but I suppose there are only so many you can do. What did you all think about the 7 week long couples editions??

The couples edition was sort of weak stunt wise if you ask me. I did like the one the night before last where the girls had to lay down in the case with the tarantula's and their other half's had to free them. I thought that was somewhat imaginative.

Every week the wife and my 10 year old daughter are glued to the tube watching Fear Factor. I don't think either has missed an episode. I sort of get drug in by association. I do like to watch from time to time.
Although I'm sure they take all precaution, don't you think they are taking alot of risks using Helicopters for so many different stunts? What was that actors name that got whacked by a chopper,with some kids making a movie about 10 years ago?
Eventually, the odds are not in your favor.....

Watch it when I can. It is a good show but sometimes they just go a little over.

when nothing else is on i will watch it. my wife got addicted to it when i was in boot camp, so i missed out on the begining, and just watch mostly because my wife watches it and monopolizes the remote. but it is ok i guess

This is a test to see how much you can make greedy people crawl in public for money.

It's OK. I thought it was funny in the couple's edition. The women would really hammer on the guys when they screwed up. The one blonde chic looked like she was going to beat her man. He even flinched from her a couple of times. I would have dumped her right after the show. I liked when they had to drive blind folded and get onto the flat bed of the semi while the other told them how to drive.

We watch but the eating part gets me often. I'm a bigger fan of the "Amazing Race".

My girlfriend's mom used to watch it all the time. I've never liked it.

I just don't see what's supposed to be so cool about it.
