Fear Factor (2001)
S05E12 Co-ed Models
Episode Overview
In this episode, all the contestants were models. For the first stunt, the competitors had to swing beneath a helicopter over a lake, navigating through a series of rings before releasing a flag on the last ring to stop the timer. The two men and two women who completed the course the fastest or traveled the farthest before falling would move on, while the other two would be eliminated. The second challenge involved contestants using their mouths to grab bugs from sticky ropes and transfer them to a scale. The ropes were lined with worms, crickets, cockroaches, and three types of large beetles. The three who could transfer the heaviest total of bugs in one minute would advance, leaving the slowest behind. In the final stunt, contestants had to swim into an above-water tube containing 1,500 gallons of vacuum-packed water. Once inside, they had 30 seconds to attach as many flags as they could to the interior.
