Did anyone see the preview for the reality stars show tonight? It looks fun. They highlighted Omarosa faceplanting into the water and eating disgusting things (and Joe enjoying seeing her humiliate herself). Nikki and Omarosa apparently don't get along. Trista is there and kisses Ryan after he eats disgusting...whatever. I didn't see Jenna or Reichen much, which makes me wonder if they get cut after the first stunt. Either that or I wasn't paying attention.

Did anyone see the best friends show (11/29)? The one girl who quit before she even tried the first stunt. It was a non-elimination round, but then she quit the next stunt after a few seconds! Her best friend was so mad. I would have killed if after all I went through to get on a show, my partner quit like that. Either she was really stupid and didn't think the show was that hard/gross. Or she was trying to make some kind of statement. Joe's face was priceless.

I can't believe she wasn't screened out earlier in the process, I thought they had to pass some kind of test before they got on the show. Maybe they didn't have many friends to chose from. I love the way Joe just showed her no respect whatsoever! If they'd have got through that stunt (maybe she'd have been ok if she was on the receiving side, but I doubt it) they could have won the next one, it only took one person to run that treadmill.

My guess is that she just wanted to be on TV. She didn't want to do gross or challenging things, but she applied to be on TV. She and her friend probably got selected based on looks. I did feel sorry for her partner, because she seemed honestly interested in competing. I liked that Joe didn't try to hide his disgust for the wimpy one. I saw a good part of the family version earlier tonight. I really didn't like how the father of the father/son team refused to congratulate the winners. Way to teach your son poor sportsmanship, buddy!

Anyone see the one with the dogs last night? Now that's FEAR factor. Much better than watching people eat intestines.

Yea, the one guy even had broken skin through all that "protective" gear. That last dog was huge.

Yes, and their necks were so exposed! That first guy, the blond one, could seriously have been hurt if the last dog had bitten a little closer to his head. I was scared just watching.

Viewer sues NBC over Fear Factor rat-eating episode CLEVELAND (AP) - A viewer is suing NBC for $2.5 million US, contending that he threw up because of a Fear Factor episode in which contestants ate rats mixed in a blender. Austin Aitken told The Associated Press he watches Fear Factor often and had no problem with past installments where the reality show's participants ate worms and insects in pursuit of a $50,000 US prize - but eating rats went "too far." "It's barbaric, some of the things they ask these individuals to do," Aitken said Thursday. Aitken's handwritten lawsuit contends the rat-eating made his blood pressure rise, resulting in being dizzy and lightheaded - and vomiting. Because he was disoriented he ran into a doorway, "causing suffering, injury and great pain." Asked why he didn't shut off his television before the rat-eating segment, Aitken said he couldn't do it quick enough. NBC responded with a brief statement: "We believe that the claim is completely without merit." Aitken, a 49-year-old part-time paralegal, said he wants to send a message to NBC and other networks with the lawsuit. He said he isn't concerned with winning a cash judgment in court. "I just put any figure. You really think I expect to get $2.5 million?" he said.

It is one thing to eat insects. It is another to eat LIVE insects. But to eat mammals that are NOT considered food...it is horrifying! we all gag when contestants have to eat fish eyeballs, or ram testicles etc. BUT those are legitimate foods, sometimes considered delicacies in certain countries. Hey, even pig rectum is JUST a muscle with some skin on it. BUT... RATS??? come on! If this show didnt have a WARNING posted before that show, well then I feel that it is a legitimate lawsuit. I know people who USED to let their children watch this show...I think a PG13 rating should be advertised and also a warning of acts of cruelty involving live creatures.

Lol,I read that too. Give me a break, turn the tv off. Nobody is forcing you to watch it. My 7 year old loves it.

I think I recall the show, it was a "blended rat drink". I didn't want to watch it so I turned the channel, simple as that. I like this show, they know going in they may be asked to eat something gross. Do we really need a "WARNING" on everything? As adults, do we need the courts to come into our homes and tell us this is bad, and turn the tv off for us? This loser needs/wants attention. I like the "I couldn't do it fast enough". How long does it take to push the off button on a remote. Geeshhhhhhh.......GROW UP ALREADY!!

Hmmm...maybe I have a lawsuit in my future! I am deathly afraid of snakes, even pictures of them. Whenever one of the reality shows or the Discovery Channel,et al, suddenly spring them on me I get the shivers and squeeze my eyes shut tightly. All these years of shivering and squeezing have messed me up something fierce! I wonder if my "pain and suffering" is worth millions? Anyone else want in on my lawsuit???

People DO eat rats in some places!! I agree.. don't watch Fear Factor if you don't want to be grossed out at some point. Actually Larry King had the FF host on and they replicated the blended rat challenge right there on CNN.. Larry finally was so nauseated he had them take the blender away.. the FF host said that was the grossest thing yet for him.. LOL Jimmer, yeah, I have that fear too..

I often wonder if the animals / insects are injured during the show. The contestants often are put into a coffinlike plastic box and Rats/ tarantulas/ worms etc are added......by DUMPING them from buckets. The person often flails around before they are allowed to get out......then the animals/ insects are SCOOPED out and the task repeated with a new victim. No wonder the rats are biting and scratching so vigorously. Wonder how many have broken bones from the rough treatment. I truly am NOT a nutbar animal rights person but no one I know LIKES the fact that live animals are used. Why not drop buckets of sewage or Entrails on them?? why LIVE things? Anyways, I dont really want any theories or answers. Just like to RANT!!!!!

I think the ultimate punishment would be for him to drink a "rat malt".

Guess what?...Couples Fear Factor 2005 has begun...IMO, this is the best Fear Factor of the season(7 eps)...We have cool couples this time around, just like last time...only this time we have a strong couple who refuse to use deodorant...this is going to be fun again...although we don't have a villain couple like Adam/Meg from last season...they all seem very likable in their own right

I'd say it was "foul" sewage. Legally (medically) it would have to be treated - but from an ethical standpoint it probably wasn't any human waste. Probably mixed up some water and cow manuer (you know, fertilizer). 'squeek'
