Fear Factor (2001)

Episode Overview

In the thrilling finale of this seven-part series, nine couples competed for an array of cash prizes, culminating in a grand prize of 1 million dollars. The first stunt involved a blindfolded driver who had to navigate a car up a ramp and onto the bed of a moving flatbed truck, guided only by their partner in the passenger seat. The couple that completed the task the quickest would win an incredible travel experience to Russia, including a flight in a Mig-21 jet. No one would face elimination in this round. For the second stunt, the women lay inside a Plexiglas coffin filled with over 500 tarantulas and crickets. Meanwhile, the men had to blend crickets, suck them up, and spit them into a tube to float a key to the surface. Once retrieved, they would use the key to unlock a hacksaw and cut through a metal bar to free their partner from the spider-filled coffin.
