NBC’s promising this season of Fear Factor will be bigger and more outrageous than ever before when it returns on December 12, 2011 (8-10pm ET). New stunts will include the ‘Towering Inferno’ and ‘Helicopter TNT Crash’ – and those names are enough to confirm for me that I never want to be a contestant on Fear Factor.
Announcing the upcoming season, NBC’s President of Alternative and Late Night Programming Paul Telegdy stated, “We have taken the groundbreaking Fear Factor franchise that many fans remember fondly and have ramped it up to make it even more challenging and competitive than ever before. Once again, the contestants will have to face their ultimate fears to prevail — and the tension and drama of that process will make for some riveting television.”

Hosted once again by Joe Rogan, each absorbing episode of Fear Factor will include four teams of two each competing against each another. Recruited from across the country, the teams will consist of spouses, family members, co-workers and friends, to name a few. Contestants must decide if they have the determination to face their most primal fears, as they are presented with a series of challenges that include the notorious big physical stunts that will test the limits of the contestants’ physical endurance and the ever-popular gross stunts that will test their mental resolve.
If contestants complete their task, they advance. If fear stops them from completing a stunt or they fail the mission, they are immediately eliminated. The tandem (or team) who wins the final challenge takes home a $50,000 prize.
