Fear Factor

Contestants are pitted against each other to complete a series of stunts better and/or quicker than all the other contestants, by doing this in the fastest time, for a grand prize of US$50,000.

The "fear" part comes as the stunts usually requires something that would freak most people out such as laying in a coffin full of scorpions, eating beetles, or some other potentially dangerous or disgusting task.
