    I think I'd end up the same as anyone else who went on the show. I could probably do anything, but I'd bitch out at the eating gross stuff.

    oh, well. I think I'll survive :D

    Frankly, I think that shows like "Fear Factor" need to have the real fear put into the contestants...

    For instance, how about being an ambulance driver in Palestine, or in the Congo right now?

    If people are going to whore themselves out for money, there should be a real contest to it...like being a Sapper for the Army, where your job is to diffuse land mines...

    Have fun, jerks...

    LOL, so true. They should call the show GROSS FACTOR, because most of the shit on it is just revolting, not scary in the least.

    Another observation:

    Celebrities on the show never have to eat anything. That kinda takes away from the fun of it!

    Now imagine if that head/leg was a real entity. Reckon they could stomach that one? ;)



     
  7. .......I'd like to fuck up a car they'd give me the keys to for a "stunt"


    and the harness thing is true, I don't see it being scary, I see nothing about the show as scary, now of course if I were put in a tank with koalas on my head or a pasture with some pissed off emus I'd be crying like a three year old with a nail through his foot, otherwise though I can't see being worried, tarantulas, snakes, and rats are cute and I've eaten my mothers cooking and gelatin which having found out which were included in both makes me ready for just about anything else.....


    wow this font looks cool when you've typed a lot with it and you're just looking at it for a long period of time.....

    Koala's and emu's? Hummm well, the koala's wouldn't hurt you unless you went after them first and as for the emu's? Well, you need to get out more :)



    The most poisonous spider in Australia is actually the Daddy Long Legs, but it's fangs are too small to actually bite you. ;)

    I agree that the Fear in the title should be more genuine. I like the suggestions. Heck, just doing away with the harnasses would be enough. As for eating gross stuff (never heard of cow balls, though - bull balls, sure;) ... there is something disturbing about people dissecting or torturing living creatures merely for entertainment. Then again, I shouldn't be surprised, given the popularity of dog and cock fighting in the US.
