Fear Factor

^Geez. Although with a show like this it was a matter of time I suppose. Good to hear everyone was okay.

 

[Hatetofly]

And it's time was just cut even shorter. Hope everyone is ok though, I'm pretty sure the harness has a safety line back up though.

 

[Hockeyman55]

Glad nobody was hurt. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of this show.

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Thank God nobody was hurt. Now we just need this thing gone...

I give it 6 weeks, there is no nostalgia for this show and people want something new. $50K is nothing in today's game show world, don't think it will draw anyone that would generate fan appeal. I think the demise of FF at USO is a given, just waiting for the next occupant to be ready to occupy the space.

Fear Factor, will not be handled by NBC but instead, will be done with MTV as the new version will have Ludricis take the hosting gig.

And before you ask, NBCUniversal does not own MTV. Instead, MTV is owned with Viacom.

Honestly, do I think Fear Factor Live will stay by the end of the decade? No. But, I don't think they are going to tear down the theater. In-fact, I think that the logical solution is to have that as the minor addition for 2019, depending on Dragon Challenge being replaced.

Dang. The thing was.almost gone too. The show has struggled with not only attracting people, but contestants.Bummer if the new show regenerates popularity.

I'm going to be watching the new Fear Factor tonight (because I'm in between jobs/school and have nothing better to do with my life tonight ). I'll give a review later. Coming in with very low expectations though and I barely watched either of the old series.

One of our OU posters that usually has accurate info on Universal's entertainment just recently insinuated ( end of April), on another thread, that Fear Factor's days at the Studios are numbered.

No disrespect to anyone, but people have been saying this for 10+ years pretty much. I'll believe when it happens.

 

[WAJAS]

So I fell asleep within 10 minutes of watching...

It's either that bad, or I can't give a good review because I didn't see most of it.

 

[reedyjosh]

I watched the full show and it was OKAY , those challenges are insane though

I like the fear factor show at USF, if I could handle eating anything gross I would totally volunteer but I would vomit eating sour milk and bugs.

 

[Living_Bread]

I kinda wish they could make an attraction that throwback to Nickelodeon Studios because I do like the audience participation and gameshow aspect of Fear Factor, but the whole Fear aspect is offputting for participation because only a minority of people really want to put their head in a cage full of spiders. A nickelodeon game could be a cheap and quick way to please those upset about the demolition of Nick Studios, while also incorporating the audience participation aspect of FFL

 

[WAJAS]

Finally decided to be in the cast for the show, and it is an experience that I’ll never forget. While the show itself isn’t all that great, it is a one of a kind thing to be a part of. Highly recommend participating before it closes!!

It's funny looking back at this thread. People begging for it's closure in 2009, and now, nearly a decade later, it's still here. I don't know if it's funny or sad.

You're not kidding.

Yeah, its open. That way its fair game to say it should be closed forever. Wouldn't an Indy-style stunt show be really cool in there? Maybe based on the Jason Bourne series.

 

[JoeCamel]

You're not kidding.

Ohhh, Scott! I see what you did. 8 years later DH gets his wish.
Just not in FF
