Fear Factor

i'm joe rogan & fear factor is back

The stunts you're about to see were all designed

and supervised by trained professionals.

They're extremely dangerous and should not be attempted

anyone, anywhere, anytime.

- It all began ten years ago, at the dawn of reality television.

I hate this.

- Audiences had never seen anything like it.

Just try to stay calm.

I don't think I can do this.

Now the legend begins all over again.

- It's bigger... - Oh, that's crazy.

Badder...

- And more intense than ever before.

It's so hard.

Welcome back... Fear factor.

Fear factor's back, and it's crazier than ever.

Crazy.

Oh, damn!

Grab it and eat it.

Eat it!

- Tonight, four teams of family members, three stunts, one winner.

- Losing is not an option for me, and for my sister, I like to push her.

Hopefully, she doesn't cry, but she wants to prove a point

so that's why I'm here.

Everyone sees me as a wimp.

I might not have the strength, but I do have the brains.

- Me and my mom are the ultimate team.

I've never left her side since I was born.

We just kick ass.

- We have been through a lot together.

Matias means "gift from God,"

and, to me, he's the ultimate gift, and I love him dearly.

- I'm a little worried about my father's physical performance,

'cause he is kind of a bigger guy.

- Yeah, I'm fat, but I can move.

Got it? Don't get it twisted.

- We are doing fear factor because we're going to kick some butt.

We got some drive in these little bodies of ours.

Our father instilled some serious competitive within us.

There was just no failure.

- What's up, everybody? Welcome.

- Ready to do this? Everybody excited?

- You might as well send the rest of 'em home now.

Send them packing now, Joe.

Wow.

- Send them packing now. - Very forceful.

All right, fear factor's back, and it's crazier than ever.

That's right.

- Did you guys watch the show back in the day?

- Sure did - now, uh, what about you guys?

Brother and sister?

- Yes. - Brother and sister.

Brains of the operation, muscle.

You guys want to see some earthquakes?

Boom, boom.

- Yeah, we want to see some-- is that an earthquake?

- See that? They like to tremble.

- I think I saw that in a strip club once...

- I won't be doing none of that, no.

- So is everybody ready to do this?

- Yeah, we are. - Let's do this.

- Well, you four families have been brought here

from all over the country for one reason--

to stare fear in the eye as you compete for $50,000.

To win the money, you will have to complete three extreme stunts.

Stunts that will test you not only physically, but mentally as well.

You try a stunt but fail to complete it, you're gone.

You try a stunt but don't do as well as your opponents, you're history.

But if you do succeed, you will move on to the next round

and be that much closer to the cash.

Ready to see your first stunt?

Yeah, let's do it!

Well, here it is.

You and your partner will be flown in, hanging from that helicopter.

- Oh. - Yeah.

- When the helicopter sets you down, you must run over to that cargo box

and use the crowbars to pry it open,

and then pull the lever, which will send that truck

barreling towards that live ammo dump.

As the truck is moving, you must chase it down

and hop into the back, so that you can rip open barrels

and release as many flags as possible

before the truck crashes through the barriers and into the live ammo dump.

That is so sick.

- Whatever team collects the least amount of flags today will be eliminated.

We have randomly selected today's order,

and Alex and Amanda, you guys are lucky number one.

Come with me, guys.

- Ba-boom. - Boom, baby.

Ba-ba-boom.

- Be the hottest thing on the west coast.

That's--

- Alex and Amanda, so what's up?

How you feel about this?

Oh, I'm so nervous.

- You're nervous? Yeah.

- I want that adrenaline rush.

- Now, what do you guys think about your fellow competitors here?

- I think we're actually one of the stronger groups... - Hmm.

- Because we have, like, power. - Right.

- And then, like, they're old, and we're young.

Mm-hmm.

Well, there's some young people in the mix too.

- Yeah, but they're girls, so they're going to have trouble

because they don't have enough, like, as much power.

They're not strong enough.

- They're gonna have trouble opening up the crate,

but, see, that's why you got me here, 'cause you got twins right here.

- You know what you have to do.

- We're ready. - Yes.

- Good luck to the both of you. Good luck.

Thank you.

Gruesome twosome right here.

- They seem to think they've got it all wrapped up,

and their logic is you two have to deal with one older person,

and that older person's going to slow you down.

Ha.

- And then, you girls are girls, and they're not worried about you.

- We're used to it, we're used to it.

- We have dubbed you the Barbies.

- We're sporty, kickass Barbies.

- And Monica, how do you feel about being doubted like that?

- It's just fuels my fire, I got to tell you.

It just makes me want to go faster, bigger, stronger, and harder.

You go, girl.

- She's teeny, but she's got it.

- I passed on the shoulders and the muscle as you can see.

So yeah.

- All they did was just piss me off to be honest with you.

- So you seem to have a pretty strong mental outlook on things.

You pass that down to your son?

- Yeah, I was a single parent, so we've been through a lot.

Ain't nothing we can't stand.

And, Monica, you raised him by yourself as well, correct?

Yeah, I did.

And I took him everywhere with me.

- And ladies, mom and dad together still?

- Yup, they're South African, so they're a little different.

- They're South African? - Yup.

Our dad's really hard on us, though.

I mean, the last thing he said to us

when we left the house was, "don't let me down."

Wow.

- All right, Alex and Amanda are getting picked up, and this is it!

Here they go. Look at this.

Oh, my God.

They look like two little toys.

We're on opposite sides.

Relax, relax.

- All right, when it touches down,

they're going to have to race over to the box and pry it open.

Time starts now!

Here they go!

They got it off. They got it off quick.

They pulled the lever, truck is moving!

All right, they're on the back of the truck, they're opening up the barrels.

They both got one. - They're moving.

They better hurry before they run out of road.

They got two.

He's got two, they both got two.

That's four.

They're running out of road.

Oh, she's got another one.

Now he got one, that's six.

She got one more.

And time!

Yeah!

Oh, my God.

That was awesome!

Wow.

Whoo.

Damn.

Whoo!

Yeah!

- Welcome back, welcome back.

Alex and Amanda.

First of all, how was that? That looked crazy.

What was that like?

That was gnarly, dude.

- Well, here's what happened, man.

The brain got more than the brawns.

That's right.

- The brain got four flags, the brawn got three, man.

I only had three.

What's up, man?

Your little skinny sister did better than you. That's crazy.

- Well, that's why she's the brains.

- Hey, I told you I look muscular.

- Well, listen. You guys set a very good bar.

Seven flags. Did it in 49 seconds.

And now we move on to Monica and matias who are next.

That's right, baby.

- Matias, obviously, you're in very good shape.

Your mother's a former professional body builder and fitness competitor.

What is it like having a mom who's so tough?

- She just inspires me so much.

She'll just go and get crazy.

Yeah, that's cute.

- And have you guys ever done anything together as a team?
