*Shudder* I didn't see the needle part, but I saw the maggoty cheese. They are just going TOO far.

I like Fear Factor...or at least *liked* it. I didn't see that episode, but if they're starting to do painful stuff...The gross ones I'm fine with--like making you eat a cow's nose. The athletic ones I'm fine with--like making you climb a rope suspended above water twirling and seeing who can get the most flags off. Those are just tests of your abilities.
But stuff like needles? No. That's just sadism.
And I hate needles especially. *shivers* I don't mind blood. I don't mind spiders. I don't mind rodents. I don't mind dissecting animals. But needles being stuck into people? I dunno what it is, but needles and similar things really make me sick.

Hey hey, that maggot cheese is a delacasy in...some...place...I saw a program on it before I saw that Fear Factor...it's actually against the law to serve it in the USA and other places. as for the needles...that wasn't anything...I stab myself all the time when I sew plushies together...doesn't bother me one bit...and that blood doesn't bother me at all *shrugs* the only thing that bothers me is when they eat really gross things...since I have such a weak stomach...ugh...I've seen them eat eyeballs, male "parts", tongues, pig's anus (one guy liked it ), 100 year old eggs, brains...and other gut bustingly gross things.

I've once saw a Couples Fear Factor, and their first stunt was to trap 1 couple in a box and have the other dive in and try to unlock the locks. Some of them didn't follow my advice of "STOP MOVING IF YOUR IN THE BOX!".

Some of them didn't follow my advice of "STOP MOVING IF YOUR IN THE BOX!". I enjoy yelling at the television..."YOU MORONS!!! DON'T GO THAT FAR!! YOU'LL FALL OFF..." heh. I liked the one where they had to drive a car into a swimming pool then escape the car and get out of the pool...looked fun.

In any case, thank goodness for the professionals who help people escape if they give up.

I liked the one where they were in a car in a parking garage and they had to drive off of the third floor into a huge pile of carboard boxes and see who went the farthest. That was the first episode I ever saw...I wanna try it! ;D

That was the first episode I ever saw...I wanna try it! ;D I saw that one too, uber-spiffy! That would be really scary...but I want to try that too! They should have a Fear Factor where they use some of the coolest stunuts from past episodes. I'd watch that one, some of the less desperate ones.

It's really embarrassing to see how far people will go to win money. I mean, they're traumatising themselves for something that alot of them could get if they worked hard enough. Tell me, how much more money do you think FOX is pour into messing up peoples' lives for our entertainment?

That show is sick. I saw one where they took people to an ostrich farm and they had to eat ostrich intestines, stomachs (with food still in it), testicles, brains...
It's gone way too far - that's not about fear, it's about being physically unable to eat it.
There's a law suit waiting to happen...Some of the ones involving water - people could drown easily before they could be got to.

There's a law suit waiting to happen. I said that too, but appearantly they sign a contract no matter what happens, the show is ABSOLUTELY 100% sovereign and under NO circumstances WHATSOEVER can they be sued. So basicly, if someone died on it they would probably be shut down, but they couldn't be sued.
