Fear Factor (2001)

Episode Overview

In this episode, six contestants from Miss USA 2004 battled for a chance to win $50,000, with the stipulation that the winner would keep half and donate the rest to a charity of her choice. For the first challenge, the contestants stood on a Plexiglas platform suspended over a harbor. As the platform tilted increasingly, they had to move flags from the lower side to the higher side. The four contestants who could transfer the most flags without falling into the water would move on, while the other two were eliminated. The second challenge involved a round of miniature golf, where their number of putts would determine the size of sea cucumber they had to consume. If anyone achieved a hole-in-one, they were spared from eating anything. All who finished their sea cucumber within the 20-minute limit would progress to the final round. The final stunt had the contestants hanging from a helicopter.
