Fear Factor (2001)

Episode Overview

In this episode, six previous champions returned for a chance to snag the $50,000 prize once more. For the first stunt, competitors began on top of a moving semi truck, making their way to the center of a balance beam extending from the back. They needed to release a flag and return before hopping onto a bike to ride across the beam to a second truck's trailer. The fastest player would earn $10,000, and no one would be eliminated at this stage. In the second stunt, pairs of players chewed tomato horn worms and spat the juice into graduated cylinders. Once filled to a specific level, they had to drink the juice. Winners moved on while losers were eliminated. The final stunt involved crossing a see-saw beam more than 100 feet high between two platforms.
