Fear Factor

This episode features four co-ed pairs competing as teams. In the first stunt, both team members leap back and forth between two platforms hanging from helicopters with each person transferring up to 10 flags from one platform to the other and then jumping in the water. The three teams to get highest flag total will advance to the next round. In the second stunt one team member is seated in a barber chair and their partner spins them. When the chair stops, they have to get whichever haircut their head was pointing to. There are six haircuts they can get. Teams would advance to the finals if both members got their designated haircuts. In the finale a crane lifts a large container to 200 feet in the air, both team members have to climb rope ladders hanging from the container. Once they reach the container, they both have to scale a narrow ledge on the side, collect two Allen wrenches, and climb another ladder to the top. Once on top, they have to use the wrenches to unscrew hatches and climb down into the container. When they were both inside, they have to touch two pieces of a live wire together in order to blow themselves out of the container and into the water below. The team to complete this stunt the fastest would be the Fear Factor Champions at winning $50,000. This week competing in the Home Invasion is the Frederickson family of Hagerstown, Maryland.
