Fear Factor!!!!!!

So if you've ever seen the reality show Fear Factor, the contestants are forced to do weird things with insects sometimes such as eat them or lie in a coffin with them. Here are some of the things from the past seasons of Fear Factor!

In this video, the contestants are forced to eat Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, maggots, and grasshoppers. Ew!!!!! First of all, they're alive. They aren't cooked or anything. Like that would seriously bother me. All the choices are disgusting, but I would be more okay with the grasshoppers and cockroaches than the maggots. They're crunchy, but the maggots are squishy, slimy, and gross. Ugh. And what if something pinched/stung me while I was trying to eat it?! Then what?!

Okay, so in this next clip this lady has all these insects and tarantulas dumped on her. I'd rather deal with this than eating bugs, but it's still scary. I would be scared mainly for health reasons. What if I was bitten by something? What if a roach went up my nose or stuck in my ear? I don't think I would be freaked out that much about the tarantulas. They're fuzzy and kind of cute. I'd rather deal with a tarantula than a roach any day. The aftermath of completing the task would bother me more than the actual task itself. I feel paranoid and as if insects were still crawling on me. That would really freak me out more than the bugs themselves.

So this next clip isn't from the actual show but it's still good. The contestants are asked to kiss a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach to move on to the next round. Some have more trouble completing the tasks than others. Prior to this class, I would have been one of the kids freaking out and screaming but now I think I could get through this with a little less pain. They're sort of cute and now that I know that the hissing cockroach won't eat people, I'm okay with them.
