Fear Factor

It was just over a month ago we learned that MTV wanted to put the Fear Factor in today’s youth with a Ludacris twist, making millennials dunk their cell phones rather than play gross-out games. Now, the first trailer for the youth-oriented revival looks a lot like the old series, because who doesn’t love beds full of maggots?

Let’s face it; Generation Z just doesn’t scare at a bed of worms, or a platter full of yak testicles. Thankfully, MTV wants to put the Fear Factor back into today’s youth, dunking cell phones in water and the like with a revival of the gross-out game show, as hosted by Furious franchise star Ludacris.

This January, NBC announced that it would not air an episode of 'Fear Factor' that included contestants drinking donkey, um, bodily fluids. The stunt was approved, filmed and scheduled to air but just days before it was scheduled to air, NBC and parent company Comcast decided 'Fear Factor' went too far. But now you can watch what NBC didn't want you to see (if you can stomach it)...
