Watching Fear Factor is a truly disturbing experience. It does make me wonder about how crazy a person can actually be to want something so much that they are willing to do some of the things that they do on this show. Eating pig rectums, for example. Excuse me? If you want the money that bad, play the lottery for God's sake! At least you can do it in the comfort of your own home without harming yourself. They say the stunts on this show are safe, but I highly doubt that eating hissing cockroaches can be good for you. Basically, Fear Factor is an extreme game show whereby contestants are asked to do a selection of seriously scary tasks, and they are eliminated one by one until a winner is determined, and they walk away with a substantial amount of money. At first, I was only interested in watching the show for the host, Joe Rogan, but he's definitely lost that allure he held for me since his days in the much-missed sitcom NewsRadio. Nowadays, I just tune in to see how stupid people really become when money is involved. Don't get me wrong, I'd appreciate a big sack of cash as much as the next person, but if I had to go through what these witless idiots have to go through, I'll pass. But if you like your television intense, then you're going to love this.
