Fear Factor: House of Fear

Previously on "Fear Factor: House Of Fear"...

Cheerleader. We can just get the girls out.

Everyone knows girls are scared of snakes, spiders, creepy crawlers.

Giddy-up!

Hold on!

Ethan and Damienne, you will pick one person to send to our Endgame.

None of the ladies going in.

We pick Dida, and Dida picks the three other people.

I'm sorry. That's what we're doing.

- So who are you putting in? - My boy Zach.

Every single Endgame, I keep getting thrown in.

- How about a little cow tongue? - Unh-uh!

If Rodney finds his match first, Dida is eliminated.

- It's a battle. - Oh!

- Oh, my gosh. - Dida is safe from elimination.

Atta-boy, D!

I'm not scared at all or intimidated.

Dude, I'm telling you, I'm so pissed.

What's stressing you out?

I've literally been over twice now.

- Twice. - We gotta win.

There's nothing we can do if we're not winning.

- I know. - It's simple and plain.

I've been pissed off all night.

Dida, he threw me into another Endgame.

Tried twice now to get me out.

Y'all giving a 20 and 21-year-old thinking that they run this game.

At the end of the day,

it's those two against everybody.

The plan was to just get the girls out.

But now I've changed my whole view of everything, who I want to go home.

I'm going to do exactly what I have to do to keep going

and that's all there is to it.

Don't you ever scare me like that again.

I almost lost my closest ally in this game

and I would have been screwed.

- You were stressing. I know. - I was stressing.

We don't want to go into any other Endgames

because that could be the end of our road.

Elimination is not where we want to be.

Zach, you literally do something for a living

that is actually so terrifying to me.

Like, I can't watch those coal mining movies, like, where they're trapped.

- Gives me a panic attack. - I don't think of it like that.

When you're coal mining, you don't think of

all the possibilities of what could go wrong?

No. I just think of my daughter.

First day, you know, arriving at the coal mines,

I was nervous, anxious.

Kind of felt like I could puke,

but I didn't have a choice to back out.

I had to provide for my daughter, so I had to buck up and keep going.

I want to show her when stuff gets hard,

just keep pushing and you can to achieve it.

Everybody else can go get bent.

So that's how you maintain so calm under pressure?

Because when I do think about it, then that's when I mess up.

Yeah.

- Teach me to dance, y'all. - All right.

- She wants to learn. - You're learning it?

- Yeah. - Okay, so you go--

so, on the jump you go, one, two,

and then step is three, and then hips is four.

And then it's like, one, two, three.

- Oh, so we hold each other's arms. This. - Yep.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Damienne: Back home, I'm very loud, outgoing,

I'm very friendly, and people love me.

And the hips, one, two, three, four.

At this point in the game,

my strategy is to make sure I'm likable

so I know my personality in this house

is going to keep me in this house.

- Two, three, four. - Oh, look, look!

Oh, my God, y'all, look!

- Was that a shark or a whale? - Whale or a shark or a dolphin.

A whale!

- It's a whale! - What?

Oh, my God, it's a whale!

- That was so clear as day. - It was so big.

- That's a killer whale. - Those are more dangerous than great white sharks.

What if we have to swim in that, though?

- If I was thrown out into our view alone-- - Mm-hmm. Open water.

Open water, I would be, like, panicking.

Do you know how long you can hold your breath for?

- No. I've never had to do that. - Scary.

- Yeah. - I'm from Florida, I live in L.A.,

but I do not like the ocean.

When I was a kid, I got pulled into a rip current. I choked on water.

I don't like the thought of drowning.

That is probably one of my biggest fears.

I feel like I kind of should have practiced something

- or started to face that fear. - But you have that mindset.

I mean, you saw yourself in the first Endgame.

You would have sat in rats all night, you know what I mean?

So I feel like you could overcome anything because you have that mindset.

- Good support. Good support. - Yeah, yeah. I'm here for you.

- Thank you. That's what I need. - You'll be fine.

- Oh, gosh. - What is this crane?

- Ooh. - Oh, my God.

- I don't like open water. - Shut up.

- Hello! - What is this, dude?

- Oh, no. - It's so cold.

- No thanks. - Johnny, you making me sick.

- My goodness. - I need to see a therapist at this point.

You driving me crazy.

Welcome to your next challenge. We call it The Deep.

It will test your fear of open water, drowning,

- and freezing temperatures. - I have all of those.

Remember when you saw those killer whales in the water?

We're just up the road from that, but I wouldn't worry about them.

It's the sharks I would be thinking of.

Oh, man.

You will be harnessed to this.

Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God. - Oh.

What is that?

- Oh, my God. - Damn.

Oh, my God.

What is that? Like, what is it?

Johnny: Let me tell you how this will work.

First, you will form two teams.

You will each be harnessed and placed

on that medieval steel rack one team at a time

and swung out far to sea.

When I sound the air horn, your team will be plunged

into the icy, 100-foot deep open ocean.

You will never know for how long you'll be forced to stay underwater.

Your team will be dunked again and again and again for increasing lengths of time.

If this ever becomes too much,

just pull the quick release strap on your harness

and you'll be released to swim to safety.

- Oh, man. - The team that lasts the longest

before three people quit wins

and will be safe from elimination.

They will get to choose one player from the losing team for the Endgame.

I was born in Kingston, Jamaica,

and one time we went swimming right before a hurricane.

I started getting pulled out by the current,

and if my dad hadn't been there to grab me and pull me back in,

I would have drowned.

I am not ready for this.

We did a random draw for two teams of five.

On team one, we got Lance,

Rob, Blake, Chelsea, and Jayleen.

On team two, we got Damienne,

Ethan, Dida, Danielle, and Zachary.

I look at my team and Ethan and Dida are on it,

and I just start thinking, like, this might be an opportunity.

Maybe I should just throw this

and let them be up for the Endgame.

Who's ready to go?

Team one, time to get wet.

Team two, you won't know how the team performs

because you will be in isolation.

I'll see you soon. Think warm thoughts.

- Hee, hee. Ooh! - Aah!

- Don't drown, y'all, please. - Love you, girl.

Everybody make sure you can take a full breath.

Deepest breath you can.

Just go to that happy place.

Deep down inside, I'm struggling.

I could be frozen to death.

A killer whale could come and snatch all five of us up.

I literally cannot handle the unpredictability.

Cue the crane! Heh, heh, heh, heh.

Oh, unh-uh!

Deepest breath you can.

Remember, if you don't hit 20 contractions,

you probably still got more in you.

Everybody's freaking out about this challenge,

especially Jayleen.

I've got an advantage here because I've got some experience diving.

But one time, I came up coughing blood.

Water is seriously dangerous, and you could die at any moment here if something goes wrong.

Ready, set, go!

We got this. Stay focused.

This water hits me like a thousand needles.

And the air is freezing cold.

Get me the hell out of here.

Breath in. Get ready for the big one.

Johnny: You got this.

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Oh, here we go.

Hang on! The team that survives being repeatedly

held underwater the longest wins.

That was the first dip!

- Holy. - Having fun?

You got this, Lance. Stay calm.

- Stay calm. Everybody calm. - I'm trying. I'm trying, y'all.

I'm totally am about to get hypothermia.

Oh, that was a 30-second dip. It's going to get so much worse.

- No. I can't. - Hey, calm down. Slow breaths, everybody.

- It's so tough. I can't. - You got this. You got this. Slow breaths.

Johnny: This time they're under for 40 seconds.

I don't know if I can hold my breath 40 seconds.

Uh-oh.

- Rob, I can't. - Jayleen, you're good.

You're okay. You're okay.

This challenge is straight-up torture.
