Fear Factor is an American reality based television game show (on NBC) which pits contestants (usually three men and three women) against each other to complete a series of stunts better and/or quicker than all the other contestants. The show is hosted by Joe Rogan. Its logo is yellow and black-based; the word 'fear', in a handwritten script, is black on yellow while the word 'factor', in a typewritten script, is yellow on black.
The regular format involves three men and three women who must complete three stunts in order to win $50,000 USD. If a contestant fails to complete a stunt or does not perform it better or quicker than other contestants, they are eliminated from the competition. Before the third stunt, if only one contestant remains, they automatically win $25,000 and the other contestants who were eliminated in the stunt, return for the next stunt to compete for the remaining $25,000.
Other formats have included:
- couples or twins
- models
- all-female
- parents and children
The first stunt usually involves a body of water and/or a helicopter. The eliminations in the first stunt are usually one man and one woman where men compete against one another and the women compete against each other. In the following stunts, it is strictly individuals with the worst performance or time. The second stunt typically entails eating some unappealing animal parts (e.g. cow tongue or eyeballs) or insects such as cockroaches and worms. Other less frequently featured stunts inclde eating durians, a tropical fruit. The third stunt usually involves an automobile or some confrontation with heights.
The winner of the final stunt is congratulated by Joe and is crowned Fear Factor champion with the parting words "Evidently fear is not a factor for you.".
