Talk:Fear Factor

message: Japan also started a Fear Factor and it is known for using just girls to perform crazy, usually naked, stunts like getting tied to a table naked and then surrounded by piglets (which burrow themselves into every crevice looking for milk). Japanese gameshows are always extreme and considering the creativity in some of the stunts, this show is worth noting.
:*This is pretty much the norm in Japan, with shows like Endurance and the like dating back years before FF aired in the US.  Similar stunts (but without full nudity) were done ten years ago in Spain on El gran juego de la oca, as well.  --Goldrushcavi 21:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The cancellation paragraph in the beginning is vague.  It only gives a month, and not the year that it was cancelled.  Other Wiki's on TV shows list beginning and ending air dates for shows.  Just tossing that up, hoping somebody with some knowledge on the show has the correct dates.

::I don't think there was a specific date.  The show sort of faded away, with no hard cutoff.   There was never any kind of "official last episode", or "Finale"  Gigs (talk) 04:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

:Fishes or eels that the contestants have to swim with? Snakes, scorpions, and mice that they have to handle? --Andylkl [ talk! | c ] 05:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Remember the episode when they had to eat the.....equipment.....of certain animals? Remember the episode when they had to toss dead rats into a bucket using only their mouths? And how do you think they get the congealed blood used in many stunts? There has been a plethora of animals that have been unwillingly sacrificed all in the name of ratings. ~Ellie
Speaking of eating animal parts...I have to ask myself, are they sanitary?  I mean, one episode involved eating animal guts from the "Road Kill Cafe."  Now the plate was full of who knows what and maggots.  I find it hard to believe that that's FDA approved.  I'm sure the show is not liable for anything, but what's the point of winning $50,000 if you have to spend it to get a tapeworm or whatnot removed? Eridani 1110 9 Oct 2006 (EST)
Admittedly there are a lot of various animal "parts" on the show but that doesn't mean that animals have been slaughtered for the show.  Your local butcher, for example, could give you an assortment of hearts, livers, kidneys...  As for the, er, more delicate items, they are parts that would otherwise be incinerated after the animal has been slaughtered for meat, leather and other by-products.

message: Sorry, everyone. I think it was me who accidentally screwed up the talk page (back in the day before I was a registered user! :) ). Now I know what I did wrong, however, so that won't be a problem anymore. Just so you all know. :0 *embarrassed* Ellie041505 13:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The information about the "Home Invasion" is wrong. It was not "included in a lot of episodes in each season." They only did the "Home Invasion" in the last season. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 143.166.255.42 (talk) 01:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I can't locate references offhand for this.  If someone could help me out and find one. I remember a contestant had to transfer electric eels from one tank to another.  She claimed (after the fact) that her skin was burned by the shocks and she was traumatized and I believe there was some sort of lawsuit filed over that.  I'm sure it was settled out of court.

message: I think the summaries of the episodes should be moved to their own page. They don't belong on the main page for the show, and all of the other pages about television shows have them on a separate page. Not to mention there are only summaries for the first three seasons.  97.84.161.230 (talk) 02:17, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Episode Summaries 

message: I was wondering if the "History" subsection should be added in the article. I feel that the intro section is a bit long, and I wanted to put part of the intro section into the History subsection (given parts of the intro actually should not be part of the intro, since it does list the years of broadcast and development history).

message: Does anybody have any information on why they're airing two more episodes? It was announced it was cancelled but you don't usually see new episodes two months after it was cancelled and five months after the last new episode was aired.--Astros4477 (talk) 03:08, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
