Each week, new contests challenge their own fears in order to win money on a show with the word "fear" in the title. Sound familiar? Where as MTV's Fear (the inspiration for this show) played more to the supernatural side, NBC's "Fear Factor" sides closer to stunts. Some are original -- like jumping from a jet ski to a helicopter -- but others -- like getting buried in live insects -- are rehashed from MTV's original show.

Lame rip-off of MTV's Fear
1 May 2001
The locations, the cameras, the scares, even the show's tag line involving the word "dare" -- total rip of MTV's Fear.
The only original thought this show has is to use a host - Linda Blair. And she's cool.
Oh.. and the other thing different from Fear. This show stages stuff. (as they admit to in the credits).
I guess if your jonzing for Fear and it's not on, this show's not a bad way to waste some time.
