The reality series returns with a series of dares. In one, airlifted contestants must hop onto the back of a truck that is heading toward an explosive collision with a barrier. Also: They must eat five scorpions; and they are strapped to the front of a cement mixer as it travels down a runway. Joe Rogan hosts.
Teams of business executives take on extreme dares. Included: escaping from a submerged vehicle; dropping into a speeding boat from a helicopter.
In this special couples themed episode, teams race against the clock as they get catapulted off a building towards a cargo net and must release as many flags as they can. Then the teams struggle to remain standing as one team member lies covered with hundreds of snakes and the other transfers the snakes with his/her mouth. Last, the remaining teams must complete a jet ski to helicopter flag transfer in order to win the ,000 cash prize.
The four new teams of couples assemble: Joel and Andrea, "party people" who met in Vegas; DJ and Brooklyn, a careful 19-year-old number cruncher and an 18-year-old risk taker; Todd and Carole, a married couple out to prove that 50 is a badge of honor; and Roberto and Tanya, a determined power couple. Their first challenge involves getting catapulted off a building onto a rope net, where they must gather 10 flags a piece as quickly as possible while being rained on the entire time. The team with the worst time is eliminated.
Struggling to keep their wits about them, contestants in this episode have to endure being bound and locked in a cage that is slowly submerged underwater while their teammate has to dive in and struggle to free them before they run out of air. At the aptly named â?-Fear Factor Food Truck,â? teammates are forced to eat a box lunch of live cockroaches and giant grasshoppers, accompanied by a side dish of rat hair chips and a special salsa topped with maggots. In the final stunt, one team member must leap back and forth from a swerving bus to a trailing car driven by his/her partner, in a timed race to retrieve flags the fastest. One team will remain standing and claim the ,000 cash prize.
The contestants, which include a couple that just met on Craigslist and a pair of exes hot off their breakup, must complete five stunts for a grand prize of 0,000. In the first stunt, one contestant is tied to the bottom of a flying helicopter while their teammate must cut them loose and try to drop them onto a target below. Another stunt involves thousands of bees - as one teammate must endure being covered in bees, the other teammate must consume 20 live bees. And in another daring feat - contestants are shot through a plate glass window on the 13th floor of an office building.
Contestants play for the grand prize of 0,000. In one dare, they dangle on a bungee line attached to a helicopter. In other stunts, they are submerged in a tub swarming with leeches; and they must climb a fiery five-story building.
Contestants must put on a brave face when they are pushed to their limits in hopes of winning 0,000. In the first stunt, contestants are ripped off a cliff's edge and sent hurtling into space on a bungee line attached to a helicopter 500 feet away. Highlights from subsequent stunts include contestants being submerged in a tub full of leeches before having to consume 10 leeches; teammates working their way up a five-story building engulfed in flames, before being rocketed off the roof in an enormous explosion; and, teams facing their fears as they are confronted with the challenge of being tear gassed, tattooed or having their head and eyebrows shaved.
