Fear Factor (2001)
S05E19 Couples Fear Factor II (4)
Episode Overview
In this fourth episode of a seven-part series, eight couples vie for cash and prizes, culminating in a grand prize of $1 million. For the first stunt, each partner lies on the ground with their heads secured inside Plexiglas boxes. The men face a box filled with snakes, while the women are surrounded by tarantulas. They must maneuver across the ground to reach screwdrivers, using rods to retrieve them and unlock their boxes. Once one partner escapes, they can assist the other. The clock stops when both are free, and the fastest couple wins two fully loaded 2005 Jeep Wranglers, with no eliminations taking place. In the second stunt, couples stand on a Plexiglas trap door above a pool, with one partner weighed down by 40 pounds of chains on their ankle.
