Fear Factor

I'm Joe Rogan. And this is Fear Factor

the stunts you're about to see were all designed and supervised

by trained professionals.

They are extremely dangerous and should not be attempted

by 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, my gosh.

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, five teams...

Five stunts...

One winner.

We got together because I liked her charisma,

and we broke up because I hated her charisma.

I posted an ad on craigslist 'cause I wanted

a partner for fear factor.

She responded, and she happens to be hot.

And she happens to be taller than me.

We met in Iraq.

In the military, Troy did outrank me...

he was a sergeant and I was a corporal.

He thinks he's in charge, and he think he's, you know,

the smarter, dominant one, but he's wrong.

The other teams are gonna think these are little wussy,

tiny Chinese people who only know how to do math,

play piano, and play violin, but you know what?

We'll bust out some Bruce Lee kung fu,

and they will be completely ambushed by our skill.

We met and we started dating,

and now we're not dating.

We're definitely broke up,

but we both came here to win

and, together or not, that's gonna happen.

She's a brat, she's spoiled, she wants things her way.

That doesn't sit well with me.

Come on in. What's up?

Welcome to a special two-hour,

five-stunt edition Fear Factor.

Well, this is it. You five teams have been

brought here from all over the country for one reason:

To stare fear in the eye as you compete for $100,000.

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

Stunts that will test you both physically and mentally.

If you're too afraid to attempt a stunt,

you're gone.

If you do attempt a stunt,

but you fail to do as well as your opponents,

you're gone.

But if you do succeed,

you will move on to the next round

and be that much closer to $100,000.

You ready to see your first stunt?

One of you will be strapped by all fours

underneath the belly of that helicopter.

On "go," your partner will climb out and release you

as fast as they can in an effort to drop you

on one of those two floating platforms.

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

You must pull a flag to stop the clock,

and the slowest team will be eliminated.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

We have randomly selected today's order,

and Dana and Aaron, you guys are lucky number one.

Whoo! I am ready!

Come with me, you guys.

Heads up!

All right, now you guys are es.

Do you guys think winning

can bring you back together? Maybe.

I think it's definitely a possibility.

If we can show we work well together as team

rather than always bumping heads and competing all the time,

we'll be fine. All right.

You guys ready to do this? Yeah.

All right, now remember, if you miss the platform,

you have to swim over and untie the flag that's on the platform.

It's gonna take more time.

So you guys have a rap?

We do have a rap.

We dedicated a freestyle Fear Factor.

Ohhhh!

Yo! My name is Aaron penney!

And I'm Dana jamison!

And Hollywood, California, is the city we live in.

But as far as our relationship...

We're confused! 'Cause we're on and off...

More than a pair of shoes!

- So why Fear Factor? - I'm glad you asked!

'Cause we ain't afraid of anything except a casket!

Just being here alone has brought the spark back!

We're gonna win the show, and that's a wrap!

- Yeah, boy! - Yeah, boy!

Fear factor's got talent.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Good job, guys. Good luck to you.

Good luck.

All right, guys.

So what do you think of these two?

Uhh...

"Uhh..." Lot of speculation.

I think being up first is gonna be a huge disadvantage.

Disadvantage.

All right, well, they're all strapped in.

She's underneath the helicopter.

Let's see what happens.

All right, she's up!

- So exciting! - She's feeling it right now.

I guarantee you.

All right, time starts when he climbs out of the helicopter.

Time stops when she pulls one of the flags.

There are probably a thousand things

going on in her mind right now.

Like, adrenaline is at its highest right now.

Time starts now!

Here he goes. He's out of the helicopter.

He's on the skid,

and he's starting to climb.

They're dealing with wind, speed, rotor wash, noise.

He's gotta undo both arms and legs

before he can drop her onto those boxes.

Oh, he's got one leg loose.

Whoo!

Whoo!

Working really hard on that second ankle.

Whoo!

$100,000!

I love you, man!

Whoo! Oh, her legs are done!

You got it, babe!

You totally got it!

That's crazy!

You got it!

All right, she's got one arm free.

We got this!

All right, she's free and he's waiting to drop her.

Now he's gotta drop her onto those boxes

so she can pull a flag and stop the clock.

We so have it!

Ohh!

Oh!

All right, she missed it.

So now she has to swim to the flag.

This is why it's so important to get dropped on the target.

This takes a long time.

And she has to untie the knots, which is gonna take some time.

She's working on the knots.

Time! 2 minutes and 47 seconds.

When I hit that water, it was like,

from flying to hitting your face on a rock.

But I knew that I just had to keep going, keep going,

and undo the rope as fast as possible.

I feel really, really bad.

I take full accountability for what happened.

I misjudged it

and I miscalculated the drop.

Whoo!

That was the best time of my life!

Come on over here, you guys.

Your time was 2 minutes and 47 seconds.

Dana, you took a hit, kid.

I sure did.

Wow, you got... you have some blood

coming out of your nose.

Tell me what happened.

It was a pretty hard hit to the face.

My body was positioned like this,

and since it's going so fast, it was just, like,

a complete smack.

All right, well, your time was 2 minutes and 47 seconds.

I think that's pretty damn good.

I think you did very well.

Misty and Zach, what do you guys think?

We're gonna...

- Give it a shot. - Yep.

How'd you guys meet?

- Craigslist. - Yep.

You guys met on craigslist, really?

Well, I posted an ad for a partner for Fear Factor,

and, uh... I responded.

She's the first one that responded, so...

Do you trust each other yet?

I think I trust him.

I don't think we have a choice.

All right, well, go out there and get some money.
