fear factor

In 2000, the U.S. airwaves were dominated by a new phenomenon called “Survivor.” With the popularity of this reality TV series, the floodgates were open for this newly defined audience. “Fear Factor” was one of the obvious standouts of these newly minted “reality” shows. With actor & martial arts aficionado Joe Rogan as host, “Fear Factor” pushed the envelope of gross-out/high adrenaline entertainment from 2001-2006 when it could no longer perform in its difficult time slot. December 2011 saw the return of “Fear Factor.” For television listing information or other details about the groundbreaking series “Fear Factor,” text 542542 (costs $1.49 plus any standard messaging charges from your carrier).
