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.
- [screams]
- It's bigger...
- That's crazy!
- Badder.
- [screams]
- And more intense than ever before.
- It's so hard.
- Welcome back...
Fear factor.
- Fear factor's back and it's crazier than ever.
All: [cheering]
- Crazy.
[truck horn blares]
- [screams]
- Oh, damn!
- [screams]
- Grab it and eat it, eat it!
- [screams]
- [cries]
- [choking]
- [screams]
- Four teams.
Three stunts.
One winner.
Fear factor.
- You know, eight years ago I tried out for fear factor.
But I had to drop out to go play some football.
I got picked up by the 49ers.
And I said let's do it.
- We're jersey girls,
But we're not like, fist-pumping tool bags.
We're like, cool, down-to-earth girls with great booties.
- Being a jersey girl, you're down for anything.
- Yeah, louis and I were both cheerleaders.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
Not one of us is going to be prissy throughout this thing.
You know, we're going to man up and, uh, we're prepared.
They're not.
- I run my own company.
I party like a wild man.
I'm great at pulling chicks.
And together, we are going to win this thing.
- Hello, hello.
[overlapping greetings]
- What's up, everybody? How you doing?
Welcome.
Nice to meet everybody.
Who's winning this thing? - Whoo!
- Right here. - Everyone?
You were the slowest to put your hand up.
Where'd you two freaks meet?
- Oh, at work. [laughs]
- What about you guys?
Where do you guys know each other from?
- We actually met in college. - Yeah, college.
- Yeah, at cheerleading tryouts.
- You guys are cheerleaders?
- [laughs] - yeah, we're cheerleaders.
We were cheerleaders, like, five years ago.
- For real? - Yeah, yeah.
- So what made you guys decide to be cheerleaders?
- Chicks! - The ladies. Definitely, yeah.
- See, but you know you'll only get the ones
That the football players don't get.
- No, no-- - it's actually the opposite
Way around, believe it or not.
- What school was this?
- What school? Exactly, exactly.
What about you guys?
- We met in church when we were kids.
- You met in church when you were kids.
- And now we're together forever.
- Forever, married?
- Engaged. - Going to be.
- Well, if you guys win fear factor,
Can we lock down a date?
- I think so. - That's a definite.
- And you guys have a child together?
- Yep. - We do.
- How old's your kid? - He's 13 months.
- Aw... - My little man.
- You guys ready for this?
All: Yeah! - All right.
You four teams have been brought here
From all over the country
For one reason--
To stare fear in the eye as you compete for $50,000.
All: [cheering]
- To win the money,
You will have to complete three extreme stunts--
Stunts that will test you not only physically,
But mentally as well.
- No problem! - No problem.
- If you are too afraid to attempt a stunt,
You'll be eliminated.
You try a stunt but 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 the cash.
Here is your first stunt.
One of you will be bound to the walls of that cage
And then submerged underwater.
- Whoa! - Oh!
- The person in the cage will be holding their breath
And experiencing what it feels like to drown.
Your partner will have to dive in and cut you loose.
You will then both have to unscrew those wing nuts
To open up the cage door and get free.
You will then both swim over to those flags to stop the clock.
- Wow. - Right!
- The team that does this
The slowest today will be eliminated.
Any team that fails to complete this stunt
Will also be eliminated.
But the team that does this the fastest
Will get to pick tomorrow's order.
We have randomly selected today's order.
Antonella and jenna, you guys are lucky number one.
- Oh, yes. - Oh, you're up!
- It's all right. We got this.
- You got this? - Yeah.
- No problem? - No problems.
- And you guys are from jersey?
- Yeah, represent. - I'm from jersey too. Holla!
- Yes!
- I was born in newark. You guys ready to do this?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Come with me, come on.
- Good luck! - See you!
- Good luck!
- So, ladies, this doesn't freak you out at all?
- I mean, a little bit,
But that's part of the rush, you know?
- Well, who's going to do what,
And how did you guys decide?
- Well, we strategized that I might be the one
Who will panic less while tied up...
And she's just, bam, going to go rip it apart.
- Yeah? - Yeah, no, I'm not scared.
I think it's gonna be pretty--
- Now, I know you guys have good lungs
'cause you're singers, right? - Yeah.
- You operate a singing telegram business?
- Exactly-- honestly--
- Do you guys have a song for this?
- Five, six, seven--
Both: ♪if your mother, sister, brother's ♪
♪feeling blue
♪or you wanna tell somebody I love you ♪
♪there's only one thing you can do ♪
♪call in the jingle bells to sing a snazzy tune ♪
- I didn't hear any fear factor in that.
- Day two.
- How do we know you're gonna be here for day two?
- Come on, that's not a question.
- We know. - Good luck to you.
- Thank you, sir. - High five.
- Thanks. - Muchas gracias.
- [laughs]
- All right, these girls are super confident.
Maybe overconfident.
- First I was like, all right, these girls are pretty tiny.
They've probably got the lung capacity of like a chipmunk,
You know--then I find out they're singers, so...
- Yeah, the lungs can only help them so much.
They still have to cut the rope.
They still have to take the wing nuts off.
- How you feel?
- Ready. - [exhales]
[tense music]
- Antonella is locked up. She's in the cage.
- Here we go, here we go.
- Now I'm scared. [laughs]
- And jenna is ready to dive in and rescue her.
All right, jenna, you ready?
- I'm ready.
- Antonella, you ready? - Ready!
- In three... Two...One, go!
- [cheering]
- All right, it's lowering.
- Oh, man.
- There it goes.
- No breath, no breath.
- She's underneath, she's struggling.
- Yeah, she's struggling, she's struggling.
- Antonella's gonna run out of breath.
She's under!
She needs to take another breath. That was quick.
That was only a few seconds.
- Oh, man.
- She's having trouble.
Looks like antonella's
Gonna have to hold her breath for a long time.
- Antonella's under!
- She still doesn't have one cut.
She doesn't even have one cut!
She came up again.
Go, go, go, go, go! Get under there!
Get it!
- Losing the goggles.
- Antonella's holding her breath
And she keeps coming up for air.
She keeps coming up-- what are you doing?
Oh, she's quitting.
She quits.
- Oh, that's too bad. - Oh, my goodness.
- She lost?
- 45 seconds, she quit. - She lost it.
- Jenna quit.
- I tried.
I couldn't get it.
- Panic! - Yeah.
- It's real!
- That makes me a little bit more nervous
Than I was just about ten seconds ago.
- Wow.
- Should we do, like, a farewell cheer?
Like, good job? Like, good try?
- I thought you were gonna come back down.
I had plenty of breath left.
- I just couldn't keep my goggles on.
I co-- every time I went in--
- I thought you were gonna ditch them
And then go with your eyes open.
How come you didn't come back down?
- Sorry, dude.
- That sucks.
- Jenna!
What happened? Why'd you quit?
- I--I was scared for my friend.
- Are you disappointed in her at all?
- I'm disappointed that that happened, yeah.
- Do you wish that you had switched positions?
- I kinda do.
- [laughing] - all right.
Well, it was very nice meeting you girls.
- Take care. Bye-bye. - Good job.
- Later. Take care! - See ya.
All: Bye!
- It really is disappointing to walk away
Knowing that you could have done it.
- It sucked to walk away,
But they got really great shots of our booties,
So what is there to complain about?
- Zuleika and raman, you guys are next.
What did you learn from watching these ladies?
- Not to quit? [laughs]
- How are you guys gonna work it out?
Is the male gonna rescue the female?
Is that how you're gonna do it?
- No. - She's rescuing me.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Why'd you decide that?
- She grew up in the ocean.
- Do you guys have relationships
Outside of this friendship?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- You have a girlfriend? You have a boyfriend?
- I don't have a boyfriend--
- I have multiple girlfriends.
- Oh, snap!
Someone's a partier, someone's a player!
- Big player, that's why he's in the cage.
- Let's get the fastest time here and pick tomorrow's order.
- Ye-yah! - Sounds perfect.
- Get out there and go get some.
- Good luck, guys. - Go get 'em.
- Go get some.
All right, what do you think?
- Now, do you think these guys have an advantage?
- Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't make it though.
- Yeah, their time might affect them.
- It's a difficult stunt.
- We could have some serious failure here today.
- Yeah, absolutely. - This is tough.
- Mind starts playing tricks on you.
- Bye. - Oh, and it's up.
- All right, here we go.
Raman, how you feeling up there man?
- I feel fantastic, never felt better.
- In three... Two...One, go!
- Oh, she dove in that water easy.
She can swim. - Yeah, look at that.
- You can tell that girl can swim.
He's under.
Note how much longer she's staying down
Than that other girl.
- Yep. - Oh, boy.
- She's having a little trouble with the cable cutters.
Big deep breaths.
The cage is fully submerged.
- She hasn't even got the first one yet.
- Raman is holding his breath this whole time.
- That's it. - She's really struggling.
I don't know how much longer
He's gonna be able to hold his breath.
- [muffled speech]
- Oh, wow.
Zuleika, remember you have to dive in there,
Cut him free, then you both have to unscrew the wing nuts
And swim over to the flags to stop the clock.
The cage is fully submerged.
- She hasn't even gotten the first one yet.
- Raman is holding his breath this whole time.
- She's really struggling.
I don't know how much longer
He's gonna be able to hold his breath.
- [muffled speech]
- Oh, he quit, raman quit!
- [gasping] - they quit!
- Uh-oh, uh-oh, somebody might get fired.
- Oh, wow.
- Ah, why'd you quit?
- Oh, my god. I was out of air.
- Oh, raman, I hate you right now!
- [gasping]
- Zuleika, raman...
- It's not easy. - Nice try, guys.
- What happened, guys? What happened?
- I was cutting through the rope,
So while I'm doing that, that's when he gave up.
So if he would have held his breath for just...
Not even a second more,
I would have stopped and he would have--
- It was probably about one or two more seconds
And we would have been fine. - He gave up on me.
- Wow, you gave up on her, dude.
This is the end of the line. Take care.
Adios. - Bye, guys.
- Are we gonna have a full failure day today?
- No, absolutely not. - What's going on, boys?
- No? You sure?
- I'm not in his mind,
So I don't know what he was feeling,
But it's just such a shame
That I was halfway through the rope.
I'm so disappointed.
- Now, louis and james, you guys are next.
- We're gonna bring it. - What did you guys learn
Watching two teams in a row fail?
- Just no excuses. - Don't quit!
- Did you learn that becoming a national champion cheerleader?
- Yeah, definitely.
- I learned that from you, joe rogan.
- Really? - [laughs]
- Are you gonna show america
What male cheerleaders are really all about?
- Absolutely. - Absolutely, yeah.
- We need to represent the male cheerleader status quo.
- Good luck. Good luck.
Fastest time picks tomorrow's order.
- So what do you think our strategy is here, man?
- Pure athleticism, you know what I mean?
Just jump in there, we got muscles.
Girls don't, so let's get in there.
I'll be able to cut the cord and let you free.
As far as the wing nuts, you know...
You start off on top, I'll start bottom?
- For sure, louie. Yo, let's do this.
- You're a fan fear factor.
You were actually gonna be on it way back in the day.
- Yeah, I was. Back in '03, I tried out.
But then another opportunity presented itself
To go play some football.
- Where were you playing football for?
- I got picked up by the 49ers.
- Okay, cool.
All right, gentlemen, are you ready?
- Yeah! - We'll see.
- In three... Two...One, go!
And he's under...
Now he's working it.
He cut the rope already. That was fast!
With that arm free, he can stand up and get more air
Before it submerges.
He got the second one quick.
They're already on the wing nuts.
In a moment, that cage is gonna fully submerge.
Now this is a gut check.
James came up for air, but louis can't
Because he's trapped in that cage.
Louie's been holding his breath a long time.
I don't think he can hold on much longer.
They've got it.
Now they gotta swim over to the flags
And stop the clock.
- Hell yeah!
- One, one more, get up there!
Time! - [cheers]
- 1:18, guys.
- That's how we do it! - Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Who brings the party?
- We bring the party!
- [laughing] who brings the party?
- We bring the party!
- And when we bring the party--
Both: We bring it all the way down!
- Is that a cheer?
- We just made that up. - Yeah, we just made it up.
- You might wanna rewrite it.
- [laughs]
- Once I cut the ropes-- - mm-hmm.
- I'm gonna come up, take a breath,
And I'm coming down for the bottom nuts.
You worry about the top nuts.
- Okay. - Hopefully we'll have
Enough time to where you can get your breath
While I'm working the nuts down on the bottom.
- Okay. - We gotta beat 'em.
I love you. - Let's go, baby.
- Gentlemen, nicely done. Very nicely done.
- Thank you, joe. - Give me a prediction.
Are these guys gonna be able to do this?
- Look at them--of course they're gonna be able to do it.
- [laughs] that guy is extremely fit.
She just had a kid like 12 months ago
And she's like--pfft! - She has--
- Rock solid? - Rock solid, dude.
They got all the confidence in the world.
- We got it. You're my beast.
- [laughs] - come on, baby.
- I got you. Got your back, babe.
- All right, here we go.
The crane is moving her into position.
Bobby is waiting on the edge of the water.
All right, bobby and tia, are you ready?
- Yes!
- I'm gonna count you down!
In three. Two...One, go!
He knows how to swim.
Yep, his goggles came off.
- He's gotta put those back on, he's not gonna be able--
- He's already at the cage.
Oh, he freed her before he went under.
Bobby's fast.
- She's already turning.
- Aw... - She's already turning!
Smart strategy--he cut her!
- Oh, they might-- they might have us!
- They might have our time.
- You got it, tia.
- She's under.
Okay, the cage is fully submerged.
- Look at bobby, man. - Bobby--stud.
- Intensity. - Oh, no.
- They've gotta turn those wing nuts faster.
She's been holding her breath for a long time.
- They're taking time.
- She's gotta stay calm here.
She's in that cage.
There's three down there.
It's gonna take some time.
They left the bottom one for the end.
Not a good strategy.
She has been under for a minute.
She's gotta be struggling for her breath.
Whoa, he's up and she's still in there!
She's up!
- There's no way they beat our time.
- It's a race to the flag!
Hurry up, hurry up!
Time!
- Whoo! - Nice.
- Whoo!
- Whoo! I knew it.
- Come on over here, guys.
Welcome back in, bobby and tia.
- That's what I'm talking about. - Nice, man, nice.
- Bobby, way to go, man.
- Your time to beat was 1:18.
You guys got...
1:24, so...
- Yeah! - [cheers]
- That's all right, that's okay.
- But the good news is it is now down to just two teams
Competing for $50,000.
Louis and james, because you guys did the best today,
You will get to pick the order in the next stunt.
- Yeah! All right, all right!
- Congratulations to you two guys.
You proved that this was very doable
But very difficult.
- Yeah! - Let's get out of here
And see what we have in the next stunt for you.
- Let's do it.
[tense music]
♪
- Not only are we cheerleaders,
But we're also kind of frat guys growing up.
We've been in the trenches doing weird stuff.
And bobby and tia, they're physically fit,
But you can tell either of them
Haven't eaten anything in a month.
So we're prepared, they're not.
- I think louie and james, they're nice guys,
But we're here to destroy.
They're gonna be defeated.
- The guys, they have a hard challenge just against us.
Not even the stunt that's gonna be prepared for them,
But going against us--
They're gonna have a tough day today.
- Oh, wow. - Oh, no.
[tires screeching]
- No. - No!
[overlapping comments]
- No.
All: [groaning]
- Here we go. - Oh, shoot.
- Why, joe? - Joe!
- Why?
This is fear factor.
What do you mean, why?
This is the fear factor roach coach.
How's everybody doing today?
- Fantastic! - I was doing good.
- [laughs]
- That looks delicious. - Tortillas.
- This is what it's really all about, folks.
- Not too bad. - This is what america wants.
- Yeah...
- Well, welcome to the fear factor roach coach.
We have some delightful items
On the menu for you guys today.
- Wow. - Oh, yes, roaches.
- Oh...
- We have prepared a wonderful menu for you today
With one of our fear factor all-time favorites:
The giant madagascar hissing cockroach.
- Of course. - Aw...
- We've added a new item to the menu.
- Oh, awesome. - An also enormous
Lubber grasshopper.
And what would grasshoppers and roaches be
Without rat hair tortilla chips
And some maggot and blood salsa?
- Wow. - To wash it all down.
- Two to go, please. All: [laugh]
- Since there are only two teams left,
No one is going to be eliminated today.
All: [cheering]
- Instead, whichever team completes
Their entire meal the fastest
Will win $5,000...
- Yeah! - And, more importantly,
Get to pick tomorrow's order.
All you have to do is enjoy the fine cuisine.
- And they're alive?
- Of course they're alive.
- [laughs]
- It would be rude to serve you some dead bugs.
Louie and james,
Since you guys had the fastest time yesterday,
You get to choose not only who goes first,
But choose what they eat.
- They need to eat the roaches.
- The roaches. - The roaches.
- A little more juice popping out of those roaches.
You know, grasshoppers seem a little more dry.
- Thanks, guys. - There's a good possibility
The roach might be pregnant too and you know,
Carrying all those eggs or something.
- Just shoot out.
- One day you're gonna look back on this,
And you're gonna laugh.
But not today!
Today there'll be no laughing.
- [chuckles] oh...Here it comes.
- Here it is. Oh, la di di, la di da.
- Don't do it, joe. - [laughs]
- So there is the blood salsa,
And, oh, look what we have here.
- Oh! They mixed it up. - Rat hair tortilla chips
And some madagascar hissing cockroaches.
- [nervous laugh]
- And of course, we need to add the maggots.
- Oh, don't forget about the maggots.
Oh! All of them?
- There you go. - The whole thing?
- Oh! There's maggots in it.
- The maggots give it a great texture.
- Oh, my gosh.
- There's good news and bad news here today.
The good news is, if you can eat this
Faster than they can eat their meal,
You will win $5,000
And you will get to pick tomorrow's order.
The bad news is, this is real.
This is really gonna go down right now.
You're really gonna have to eat
These giant madagascar hissing cockroaches,
Rat hair tortilla chips,
And this blood salsa filled with live maggots.
- [laughs] - best of luck, guys.
- Go! Come on, bobby, come on!
- Oh, it's starting to-- - [screams]
- Just do it! - Pop it in!
- Oh, my gosh! - Just do it!
- Eat them as fast as you can.
- [laughing] oh, ho ho ho ho!
- Tortilla chips are carbs, man. - Oh!
- Rat hair tortilla chips. - Oh, bobby's handling it.
- And live madagascar hissing cockroaches.
- [retches]
- Remember, this is a timed event.
- Don't puke, man. - Eat them as fast as you can.
- Vomit! - If you gotta spew,
Spew in the chuck bucket, man.
- There is a 15-minute time limit on the stunt,
So you guys really gotta get moving.
There you go, bobby! [laughter]
- There you go, bobby!
That's what I'm talking about.
Get crazy, bobby.
- Bobby's got it. - [shrieks] oh, my god!
- You guys are wasting a ton of time.
- It hissed at me or something.
- You guys are wasting so much time.
- Show her how it's done. There you go.
- Baby!
- Oh! - It's nothing.
- Oh, my god! - That's how it's done.
- Come on, tia! - It's nothing.
- Grab one-- - tia, just do it, do it!
Just do it! - Don't look at it.
- Just toss that sucker in there!
- Come on. - Tia!
Both: [chanting] tia! Tia! Tia! Tia!
- Don't do it, bobby. Keep it down.
- You guys are helping them. I love it.
- We're trying. - I want to see them succeed.
- They're cheerleaders by nature, what can they do?
- [laughs] - [shrieks]
- Oh, you got those rat hair tortilla chips.
Let's down that blood and maggot salsa.
- There you go! - Yeah, get some blood.
- Oh, look at those maggots dripping!
- If you don't have a problem doing that,
Why don't you guys make a deal?
Bobby, you eat all the roaches,
You drink the salsa. Just down it.
- Yeah, the salsa's the best part.
- [retches] - oh, there's a chuck bucket!
- The bucket! Don't forget about the bucket!
- No, no, no, don't throw up. You're not gonna throw up.
Listen.
Think of your son. Think of the money.
Think of victory. Bobby's an animal!
He's just gonna dive in there. Look at him!
- Two at a time. Dip it in the blood.
- He doesn't give a crap.
All: Yeah! - He's taking his time!
- That's what I'm talking about!
- Yeah, that's what I'm talking--look at him, tia!
- [retches]
[retches]
- You got this, it's just pomegranate.
- All right, tia, come on.
- Pomegranate juice.
- You've taken a tremendous amount of time here.
- [retches] - drink that blood salsa.
- Don't forget about the bucket.
- Don't forget about the maggots.
- Can I have a napkin? - Oh, yeah!
- Uh-oh.
- This isn't fun factor!
- You've got a lot of bugs left, bobby.
- Drink that blood salsa with live maggots.
- Oh... - Oh, my goodness.
- You guys are so close.
Other than that humongous pile of them over there.
- [laughs]
- You know all these years
We haven't been doing fear factors,
Been something missing in my life.
I didn't know what it was...
Till today.
- Oh, what's coming out of the butt?
- Oh, look it! - Aw! It's pooping!
- That's the flavor, that's like habanero sauce.
[laughter]
- You guys got a cheer for them, perhaps?
- Vomit!
- A bobby-tia cheer?
- Oh, no, you gotta slurp it up!
- Okay, now you got a problem. - Slurp it up!
Slur--no?
- I'm telling you there's not much time.
You gotta eat everything you see here!
You gotta slurp up that blood.
You gotta eat those maggots.
You don't have much time. Both: Yeah!
- That's what I'm talking-- oh, wait, wait, wait.
- Yeah! Oh--yeah! - Oh, it's premature.
Premature celebration.
- [retches] - oh, there you go!
- Keep it down.
- 15 seconds left, guys.
This is not looking good.
This is so nasty.
- You have so much left to go, guys.
There you go, squirt it up.
- [shrieks] - and there's more poopie.
More poopie coming out of that.
- All right, guys, that's time.
- That was sick, joe!
- It was sick. - That was sick.
- You're right.
- Babe, I couldn't do it.
- All right, guys. Unfortunately, time expired.
You did not eat all of your items.
- Whoo!
- You gave it a shot, you ate a lot...
- It's all in my teeth.
- I feel them moving.
- Chef joe rogan.
- These guys are active. - Oh, boy.
- You're right, I can just hear them.
- Okay, here is your blood salsa.
- That's the dessert right there.
- And these are lubber grasshoppers.
- Oh, my...
- Oh boy! - We gotta eat all of those.
- I think you guys made a tremendous mistake--
- I would agree with you.
- By letting them have the roaches.
- Oh my god.
- The look like they could damage us.
- Let me top off your blood salsa
With some delicious live maggots.
All right, gentlemen, you know what's up.

James, you're being a punk.
- Aah! I bit my tongue! - There you go.
James, how you doing?
- Not good. - It's not that deep.
- We're finishing this, you know why?
- Why?
- We gotta represent for all the cheerleaders
In the United States. - That's right.
- Damn, we're no punks. - Okay!
- You guys-- - this guy's a football player,
I'm a cheerleader, I'm gonna finish this!
- What's our time?
- Ugh. - I feel for you man.
- I really do. - You have to complete
Everything in order to win the 5,000 bucks, come on.
- This blood is disgusting. There's no way around that.
- That grasshopper's eating a maggot.
He's helping you. - Where, which one?
- We're almost done, dude.
- There you go, louis, come on!
There's a lot to be done here, boys.
A lot to be done and not much time.
- Whoo, go team! - Yeah, come on, tia.

- No-- - they bring the party, whoo!
- Do you bring the party, boys?
- Oh, yeah, we bring the party.
I'll show you how we bring the party right here.
- Show me, show me, yeah!
- I wanna back flip after this dude.
- Oh, my god! Look he did the whole thing!
- Jimbo! - Oh, my god!
- [disgusted noises]
- All we gotta do is that. - [laughing]
- We are down to about four minutes, boys.
And that's not much time.
Oh, this is so disgusting.
- You want some of these? - No, I'm good.
- I gotta give it to you guys, you guys are doing pretty good.
- They're animals, they're animals.
- [wretches] - people underestimate
Male cheerleaders.
What's up now?
- Never again! - What's up now?
All right, you've got one grasshopper left.
You've got about six of these rat-hair tortilla chips.
And a few stray maggots.
We're very close here, we're very close,
But we're not home yet.
- It's giving me a headache watching this.
- Come on louis, down that grasshopper.
- Wow, james. - Grab that sucker.
Grab that sucker and show him what's up.
Come on, there you go, there you go.
You guys have downed 25 grasshoppers,
Downed most of the blood, - come on, james!
- Almost there!
- It's okay, man.
- Why are the chips the worst part?
I thought those would be the easiest.
- The chips suck 'cause t hey have rat hair in 'em.
We're closing in on the end.
- Oh, this is horrible.
- Finish these chips. Do it!
- Wow.
- You're almost done, you're almost done.
- Almost there.
- Wow! - Wow!

- Wow. - [laughs]
- James, louis, you guys are savages.
Congratulations.
You guys just won 5,000 bucks.
- Ahh! - And more importantly,
You get to pick tomorrow's order in the final stunt.
Congratulations. Both: [cheer]
- Good job, guys. - Good job, guys!
- Let's get out of here and see what we have
In store for you guys next.
Come on. - Oh.
- Ah!
- I think a lesson that people can learn from watching us
Is you can't judge a book by it's cover.
Because we're a couple of cheerleaders,
We're not gonna be able to get down and dirty with the bugs.
We're not gonna be able to finish strong.
But we are.
- I'm gonna tell my 13-month-old son when he's a lot older,
Fear is not a factor.
- You know, them money's definitely gonna be a bonus.
But more than anything, we want to show him
That it's about accepting the challenge
And doing what you can to make sure you come out victorious.
- Hello, hello, hello! [overlapping greetings]
The question today is, how are you guys doing?
This is it.
- Fantastic. - 100% from yesterday.
- You know, I woke up this morning, didn't feel so well.
But, uh, you know, got it all out.
- Yeah! - Got it all out?
Now did you know that it all came out?
Did you see anything that you-- - they didn't look good.
- Yeah? - I don't want
To get into details but there were
Some full animals coming out of me today.
- It was disgusting.
- The only way I can get 'em down was when I gagged,
And swallowed my own throw up, that was the only way
I can get the bugs down. - [laughs]
All right, well you made it this far.
And this is it. - It's what we came here for.
- It's go time. - Ready to see it?
All: Let's do this! - Here is your final stunt!
[tires screech]
- Oh, my gosh.
- Well, you made it this far and this is it.
- Thanks, joe. - The big final stunt
For $50,000, one of you teams is going home with it.
Ready to see it? - Let's do this!
- Right, here it is.
- What the heck?
- Oh my gosh. - Wow.
- Here is your final stunt.
One of you will be in that bus
While your partner is driving that station wagon,
Trying to stay as close to the swerving bus as possible.
On go, you will be jumping back and forth from the bus
To the car, retrieving flags along the way.
Whichever team can collect all the flags fastest will walk away
Today with $50,000 and the title fear factor champion.
- What? [laughs]
- Louis and james, you guys won $5,000...
- Oh yeah! - And more importantly,
You won the ability to pick today's order.
- Yes, we did. - So it's up to you.
Who's going first?
- Oh, these guys. - These guys are going first.
- Strategy, joe, come on. - Strategy?
Bobby, you played football, what position did you play?
- Wide receiver, kick returner and punt returner.
- Oh, dude, so you're running, man.
You got some speed on you. - Oh yeah.
- We're good. - All right.
Bobby and tia, come with me.
Louis and james, you guys are gonna climb
Up to the top of that flag stand.
- Aw, yeah. - Gonna meet you up there.
- Good luck! Good luck!
- Oh, boy. - All right, bobby and tia.
This is it. How's it feel?
- I feel good. - Ready.
- Yeah it's similar to the--
What they call the shuttle.
It's a lateral movement agility test.
So I'm gonna have to tap into that.
- Did you run track?
- I did. Sixth in the nation back in...
What was that...'95, '96 in the long jump.
- Wow. - My baby did it all.
- I was pretty quick.
- Now do you guys have any racecar driving experience?
'cause then you guys would be an unstoppable combination.
- I- I live in l.A. I mean--
- You live in l.A. Good point.
All right, go out there, set the bar high.
Good luck to you.
- Yeah. - Thank you, thanks.
- Let's go, babe.
- The only difficult part is
The bus is gonna be going everywhere.
- You focus on the bus, don't focus on me.
Let's do it, baby. Mmm! - Here we go.
- This is a pretty insane stunt, man.
- There's eight flags on the outside, five on the inside.
- 13 flags?
That's a lot of athleticism back and forth.
- Right, right. - Not only is it gonna be
Strength, but stamina.
- Yes. - Stamina's definitely
A factor here. - Yeah, definitely.
- Yeah. - [claps]
You got it baby?
- Bobby, how you feeling, man?
- Feeling great, brother.
- You ready to do it? - I'm ready, I'm ready.
- He's fired up, dude.
- You know what? Bobby, he's fit.
But the thing is, he hasn't played football in ten years.
- Dude, he was number six in the nation in the long jump.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Dude... - Dude's got an advantage
Right there. - Dude.
[engine starts]
- All right, bobby is in the back of the bus.
They're getting ready to start.
She is in the car.
- There they go. - Bobby.
- There they go.
- All right, they're taking one lap to get up to speed,
And then it's game on.
Time starts when they pass us.
Time stops when they clip the 13th flag.
- Closer.
Closer.
Right there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah like that.
Like that.
- Oh. - You got nothing, bobby!
- Go!
- Oh- - look at him go.
- He went for that first one.
- Oh, damn. - He's in, he's got one.
- Oh, wow. - Oh, yeah.
He's, uh... - She's swerving!
- He's an excellent athlete though, you can tell.
Look at how well he moves.
- You got this, baby?
- She's drifting, but look how easy he got to it.
- Oh look at that hop. That was a hop.
- She's doing good. - Yeah.
- Wow... Whoa! - Ah, no!
- God, this guy is crazy.
She's doing a great job setting him up.
Look how close she is to him.
- Oh! - Oh he almost fell off!
They're going 25-30 miles per hour.
Oh, that was smooth.
Oh, he stumbled in!
- Oh, he's stumbling. He's stumbling!
- Whoo!
- Oh, he made it in smooth!
- We got this.
- Hand 'em to me, hand 'em to me!
Hand them to me!
- Oh, he hit hard!
- Oh he's got- - look it!
- All right, now he's handing 'em off!
This is where it gets crazy. Handed off the first one.
- Oh s- oh this is gonna be the hard part.
- This is an amazing amount of jumping you have to do.
Look at that dude move!
- Dude, back and forth.
- This is an excellent stunt for him.
Who he's hanging off the back!
You see it? - That was a close one.
- Come on, baby, you got it!
- Oh...
- Oh, he's exhausted.
- He's tired. - Of course he is!
- You got nothing, bobby!
- That's his last flag.
- Whoo! - He's banging the sides.
- Time!
2:33 - [frustrated groans]
- That wasn't that good, that wasn't that good.
We got it.
- Whoo! Mwah!
You did it!
- What?
- All right, you guys know the time to beat
Is 2 minutes and 33 seconds.
Let's get on down, strap you in. - All right, let's do it!
- Good job, baby. - Whoo!
- That's what I'm talking about! - Baby!
- That's what I'm talking about. - You did so good. Oh!
- Fantastic job. Way to go.
- Thank you. - Not bad, good job.
- Bobby and tia, that was amazing.
You got all 13 flags in 2 minutes and 33 seconds.
- Not bad, not bad. - That was amazing.
- Good job guys. - Impressive.
- Two thoughts were in my mind
Every time I was jumping back and forth.
- My son, alexander and 50 grand, that was it.
- [laughs] - that's that athlete in him.
Athlete. Let's see if you guys are athletes.
Cheerleaders, athletes. - Oh, no, no, no.
- You don't sport?
- Well listen, it's been a very competitive show.
Good luck to you gentlemen. - Thanks, joe.
- All right, thank you.
- Bobby and tia, come with me.
Let's get out of here. - Let's do it.
- Let's go.
Peace, boys. - We're gonna watch this thing
From above. - Good luck.
- Seen you drive before, man.
You can do this. - I'm a pretty good driver.
- Yeah. - You know what?
I grew up in a car like this, too.
- You trust me?
- I trust you. You trust me?
- I trust you more than anything.
- All right man, want me to slap you in the chest?
- Should we hug... Take off our shirts and hug?
[laughter]
- All right, predictions, guys.
You got 2 minutes and 33 seconds,
Which I think is pretty outstanding.
What do you think they're gonna be able to do?
- I'm predicting no faster than about 2:50.
- 2:50? - Yeah.
I was gonna say the exact same thing.
- You gotta remember one thing.
While I was on the field, avoiding tackles
And diving in the end zones, these guys
Were on the sidelines cheering.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Freaking good point [laughs]. - That's what I'm saying.
- All right, louis is driving and james is leaping.
[engine starts] - let's go, jimbo!
- Do this! - Ow-ah!
- Well, you guys did it so efficiently that there's only
A tiny room for error with these guys.
- We set the bar, so let's see
If they can rise to the challenge.
- Whoo!
- Here we go.
- Go!
- Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa! - Oh!
- How you feeling, james?
- I feel great! Pumped!
- Ready to do this?
- Yeah, I'm ready to do this!
- He's fired up.
You know what you gotta do here.
- Kill it. - 2 minutes and 33 seconds
Is the time to beat. - Whoo!
- Here we go.
- The time to beat to transfer the 13th flag
Is 2 minutes and 33 seconds.
Go!
All right, they're off.
- That's one. - He's already stumbling.
- That's one. - Yeah.
- Not bad.
- [grunts] - oh he hit the door
On the way in!
That could cost them.
He's gonna have to really pick it up.
Bobby, you were much more cat-like up there.
He's kind of belly-flopping it. - Right.
- He hit the wall. - Whoo!
- You were in control more,
He's kind of clinging to the car a bit more than you were.
It's taking him more time.
- Ooh, he's gotta be closer.
And he's a big guy, it's harder for him
To get in and out of that door too.
- [grunts]
- Bobby, you were diving through that door.
He's more like kind of stumbling on it.
- Right. Sitting down--
- All right, now he's got a rhythm.
Here he goes.
They're getting close now. A minute in.
One minute in.
- Uh-oh.
- All right, here comes james.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh, he hit the back of the bus!
- Wow. - Man, that was close.
This is crazy. - Yeah, it is.
- Approaching speeds over 30 miles an hour.
I know, he's really struggling here.
Look at him, he's way--he's off.
- Whoa, whoa. - Way off on the outside.
Look how-- oh, my goodness.
That's the last flag on the outside.
Now it's the five interior flags.
They've got a good system here.
He's gotta wait for those flags.
Oh, he hit that wall hard.
- Come on, jimbo!
Come on, jimbo! - He hit that door hard again.
There he goes.
- [grunts] - oh!
- Yeah, baby!
- Two more to go!
- Right here right now! - It's gonna be close.
Wow, this is crazy. This is really close.
- Oh.
- Last flag, last flag!
- Oh, what a jump! - Whoa, nice jump.
- Yeah baby! - And time!
- [ecstatic laugh]
- Wow. - Yeah! Yeah!
- That was good. - That was good.
Damn. - No stumbling.
- [breathes heavily]
- That was really close. [exhales]
- It's all about the clock now.
- Whoo! - How was it?
How was it? - It was nuts.
It was nuts. - Dude, that was insane, dude.
- I think I'm gonna vomit. - That was pretty good.
- You gotta think it's very close.
That was very, very close.
- The time to beat was 2 minutes and 33 seconds.
- You got...
2 minutes...
And 19 seconds.
[james & louis cheering] - congratulations.
[laughter] - aww!
- James and louie, you have done it.
- Bobby and tia, it was very nice meeting you guys.
- It was good, thank you. - Very nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you, too. - Good luck to you.
But I've gotta send you off. Take care.
Sorry.
- Whoo! - Yeah, baby!
- Yeah! - You guys got through escaping
The drowning cage.
You got through eating the grasshoppers.
And the blood and maggot salsa.
And the rat hair tortilla chips.
You did this the fastest
With a time of 2 minutes and 19 seconds.
And you are our fear factchampions.
- That's what I'm talking about. - Congratulations.
- Joe rogan! - And apparently fear is not
A factor for you boys.
- Yeah, not a factor! - Way to go.
And a clean sweep.
All three events-- - clean sweep!
