Fear Factor (2001)

Episode Overview

In the first challenge, contestants faced the Blimp Climb, where they had to descend a 35-foot rope ladder from a blimp hovering over the ocean, grab a flag, and then climb back up. The two fastest men and women would move on, while the others would be eliminated. Next was the Bobbing in Wax Worms challenge, where contestants used only their mouths to fish out up to 20 chicken feet from a massive box filled with 25,000 wax worms. The three who collected the most feet in two minutes would advance to the finals, leaving one contestant behind. Finally, the Car Flip required contestants to speed a car toward a pipe ramp and execute a flip. The contestant who sent their car the furthest would take home a $50,000 prize.
