Fear Factor (2001)

Episode Overview

In this episode, four pairs of best friends faced off in a series of challenges. For the first stunt, called the Double Water Beam, one teammate balanced on a narrow 12-inch beam elevated above the ground, while their partner stood on an 8-inch beam below. With water jets spraying down on the lower beam, the person had to traverse it, grab a crank, return to the farthest water jet, and attach the crank to a rope held by their partner. The partner would then hoist it up to shut off the water. They repeated this until all four jets were off. The three fastest teams advanced, while the slowest was eliminated. The second stunt, Sausage Feast, required both teammates to pick from six covered platters, each containing a sausage filled with unappetizing food. They both had to eat their revolting sausages to proceed.
