Fear Factor

Season 6 · Episode 6 — Psycho Fear Factor (3)

This episode was part 3 of 3 in a series featuring six couples staying at the Bates Motel from the movie Psycho and competing on the set where the movie was filmed for a grand prize of $250,000. At the end of the last episode, the couples were unpleasantly surprised when thousands of Madagascar hissing cockroaches came crawling out of the holes in the walls. At the beginning of this episode, they were informed that whichever couple could collect the most roaches and keep them alive until morning would win a prize. Stunt #1 (Eat the Camel Spider) Both partners would be bound in straight jackets and have to work together to get free as fast as possible. But first, each person would be given the opportunity to eat two live Iraqi Camel Spiders, each worth 30 seconds off their time, giving each couple the chance to deduct up to two minutes off their time. The couple to take the longest escaping from the straight jackets would be eliminated. Stunt #2 (Psycho House explosion) Racing head-to-head, the women would be in an upstairs room of the Psycho House unscrewing caps from sticks of dynamite and tossing them out the window. Meanwhile, the men would be outside assembling detonators. The first man to get his detonator assembled would attach a wire to it and use it blow up the Psycho house and send the women hurtling through the air. The man who got the detonator assembled first would get an additional two sticks of dynamite. The couple who got the most sticks of dynamite out the window (including the two added ones for fastest time) would be Psycho Fear Factor Champions and win $250,000. Home Invasion Stunt (Gulp and grab) Competing in this Home Invasion would be the Scholtz family of Evansville, Indiana. One family member would have their head inside a tank full of dirt and earthworms. Buried in the in tank would be five keychains, each worth $1000. Five family members would be lined up. On go, the first person would have to down a shot of blended worms, nasty cheese, rotten milk, and retrieve a keychain from the tank. The next person in line would repeat the process until all five had gone. The number of keys they could retrieve in one minute would represent the amount of money they would win from Capital One.
