I have no desire to throw myself out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft. I leave that to my brother - he got the loony genes

Fear Factor
Tonight I watched the previous winners return for the ultimate title (and the $100,000 prize money) and do some majorly crazy and painful things. Every one of these episodes has had me hooked, and often turned my stomach, watching what these people will do, or eat, for money.
It set me to wondering, what would you do for £100,000? More to the point, what *wouldn't* you do? Where would you draw the line? Where does your 'Fear Factor' come into play?
And keep it clean!

Thats a difficult one - Whos to say what we would actually do if we were desperate (I mean look at Keith Chegwin 
)

I threw myself out of a plane which took me to the limit of what I'm able to do. I would do the stunts that they have to do (I think it's done in a safe enough environment - they're not gonna let you die are they?) but when it came to the eating of things, I wouldn't be able to do it

I'm VERY glad to hear it!
I would probably do a scary thing if I knew that all possible safety precautions were being taken, but I don't know if I could do something as gross as drinking vomit -eeugh!

I wouldn't have a problem with most of the things I've seen them eat (cockroaches for example), but I'd have to kill them first. I couldn't put something in my mouth to eat that was still alive.

There are lots of things I would'nt do. I would'nt eat anything alive or anything thats likely to make me heave. I would'nt do a bungee jump or jump out of a plane. I guess I'm just a wimp

The one that probably made me gag the most was watching guys trying to eat bull testicles as the things were huge and they had to eat 2 within 2 minutes!!!
I'd draw the line at eating anything that looked bad or smelt funny !
I'd probably be happy with any of the rat stunts as they always look harmless. As for the physical stunts I'd be hard pushed to do them, but technically you are always secure so what's the harm in pushing yourself to the limits until you fall off - on the plane stunt last night for the women I was actually surprised that they could still retain ALL of their flags to the point they had fell off - rather unfair to those that stayed on I thought!
Can't wait to see next's weeks with the alligators though

i saw one where this poor guys head got smakced off the side of a moving boat while trying to jump on it..yikes...
i couldn't do any of the eating ones..i vomit extremely easily...the thought of it is enough to turn my stomach.
i'd be okay with heights and stuff

Has anyone seen the episode where the contestants play a variation of poker, involving raw cow brain?
Each was dealt cards which showed fractions. Once they were happy with the 4 cards they had, these were totaled. The totals equaled the amount of raw cow brain they had to eat
One girl had to eat 2.5 brains.
