Was the Fear Factor too much?

Since nobody actually made it to Fear Factor (except me), I thought I'd share a bit about it... so everybody knows exactly what fun they missed!!

The first challenge was Roll-and-Eat! You had to roll a big fuzzy dice and your role determined what you had to eat. On the menu were things like chicken hearts, 1000 year old eggs, fish egg sauce (or something like that), a clove of garlic, globs of horseradish, and, last but not least, random insect skin molts! Yuck...

The next part of the evening had 3 stations:
1) Shock Factor: Hold on as long as you can as they zap electric current through your hand!
2) Fall Factor: Fall to the ground without flinching as long as you can!
3) Ice Water Challenge: Hold your breath as long as you can. The catch? Your head is upside down in a bucket of ice water!

Eight semi-finalists were then chosen. The semi-final challenge? RATS!!! They put your head in a plexiglass container and threw in 4 or 5 rats to brush across your neck, nibble in your ear, try to get in your mouth, and pick your nose for you! Whoever could stand the nibbling and fear the longest made it the finals.....

The finals: (reader discretion advised...)
The finalists had to move LIVE MAGGOTS from a platter to their plate... using their MOUTH! Yuck!! Oh, and that's not even the worst of it! The first person to eat 4 whole live maggots was awarded the victory!! If you don't know what a maggot is, ask your parents. Then ask if you can eat one to see what they say...

Oh, and there was this guy that brought in his pet tarantulas, scorpions, and frogs and stuff! Some people had the scorpions crawl over their hand...(note: they are venemous if they sting you).

It was definately fun. Click here to see some videos I took!

DO NOT MISS THIS EVENT NEXT YEAR!!!
(unless, of course, you're a chicken...)
