Fear Factor (2001)

Episode Overview

In the sixth installment of the series featuring eight couples vying for cash and a chance at the grand prize of $1 million, the competition heats up. For the first stunt, dubbed "Gross Gorge," couples faced the challenge of consuming 6 pounds and 8 ounces of truly unappetizing delicacies from Plexiglas containers. The menu included items like octopus, lamb brain, pig snout, and various insects, among other questionable choices. The couple that managed to eat the most within a 20-minute timeframe would win an incredible two-week getaway to Belize, staying six days in the rainforest at Ian Anderson's Caves Branch and six days sailing the Caribbean on a luxury yacht. No couples would be eliminated during this stunt. The second stunt, "Train Lean & Grab," required couples to navigate narrow balance beams high above the ground.
