*NOTE: All comments in this episode, except for the dinner table discussion, are NOT real opinions* *DEFINETLY do not try any of these stunts at home, or any form of them* Only one week has been played out, but fear still reigns. Bettina jumped ontop of the score chat, with a total over 200 points. After a tiebreaker between Shelby Marie and Jim, featuring a deadly bridge swing, Shelby Marie was determined a victor, and Jim was eliminated from the game. The contestants then left Boston, and have arrived here in Atlanta. They do not know what to expect ***Fear Factor music begins*** Imagine a place where all your fears ***Bees flying in a cage*** became reality ***Bettina falling 20 feet into water*** Where 6 contestants compete ***Somebody kayaking through rapids*** By facing their Fears in stunts. ***Josh sitting in a chair over a fire*** At the end of the day ***"That stuff tasted so bad, you wouldn't believe it." Shannan said*** whoever has the lowest stunt average ***Shelby Marie rappelling down a cliff*** is eliminated. ***"However, you didn't come here to pet it...but eat it!" Cat spasms grinned sadisticly*** But if they do the best at all 18 stunts we through at them ***"I'm dead afraid of heights." Jim said*** They will become the winners! ***Somebody praying in a crashing elevator*** Of Fantasy Fear Factor!!! ***Fear Factor Logo*** ***Music ends*** We see the shot of a cliff with a carving of men on horses. The camera pans up to the top of the cliff, then zooms in. We see our 5 contestants walking towards it. Michael: Wow...I wasn't sure where I stood in this game, but things are looking brighter! I was in second place last round, and this round, we shall see how things turn out. Considering how I did, I don't think I need to worry. * Bettina: Considering both Josh and Shelby Marie got a score of 0, I don't think I need to be too concerned this round. I doubt I'm going to be eliminated. * Shannan: Last round went OK. But now that I have a better idea of how the game works, I think I might forget about 2 challenges, and the one I don't mind I do. * Josh: Last round was NOT good. I am going to try my hardest on every single challenge, AND win this thing. * Shelby Marie: I don't feel like I'm totally with the game as much as the others. Its really fast paced and I'm having a hard time keeping up, being the youngest. * All 5 approach Cat Spasms, the host. "Hello, and congradulations on making it past Round 1. Unfortunately, Jim wasn't as lucky as you, and he was eliminated. He may still be voted back into the game though, just a reminder, so any of you COULD STILL END UP IN LAST." * Michael: I hadn't really realized that until now. When he said that, it bothered me. Definetly encouraged me to try a little harder, and actually try. * "Now, here we are in Stone Mountain, a couple of miles outside of Atlanta. Beautiful scenery, especially the mountains, are always a sign that this is a great location for a stunt! So, are you ready for it?" "Ready as ever." Shannan's reply came. "Then why not take a peak over this cliff?" The contestants got down on their knees, and slowly did. They saw a network of flags stuck to the cliff wall, each with different numbers on it. "YOU WILL RAPPEL DOWN THIS CLIFF WALL, TAKING FLAGS AS YOU GO. EACH FLAG IS WORTH A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF POINTS, BASED ON HOW HARD THEY ARE TO REACH. ONCE YOU REACH THE BOTTOM, WE WILL ADD UP THE NUMBERS, AND THAT WILL BE HOW MANY YOU EARN." "Now, Shannan, you are lucky #1." Cat said, "Come with me." * Shannan: I don't mind heights, but I'm not too fond of them. I'll try to reach the flags, but I'm not sure if I can. * "SHANNAN ARE YOU READY?" "Yes!" she said nervously. "GO!" Shannan jumped over the side of the cliff, and began to walk down it slowly. * "None of the flags were nearby the area I rappelled," Shannan said later, "So I started swaying back and forth to get them, but failed." Shannan reached the bottom without any flags. * "Shannan didn't get any flags, are you guys surprised?" "Wow!" Bettina commented. "Do you think you'll do better, Michael?" "Not really. I'll have to see what the course is like first." "Well, we shall find out now," Cat said, "Come with me!" * "Alright Michael, are you ready?" "YEAH!" he yelled. "GO!" Michael pushed his way down. * Michael: I had always wanted to rappel, and was just so facinated by the feeling of hanging there, I forgot about the game entirely. I was halfway down when I started trying to get flags. * "Shoot, almost got that one," he said, swaying away from a flag marked '25'. He reached the bottom empty handed also. * "Wow...we've gotten two people who haven't been able to get any flags now. Shelby Marie, do you think you'll get any?" "No, but I'll try!" Shelby Marie said. "Follow me then." Cat stated. * Shelby Marie: My strategy was to go for the smaller numbered flags. That way, I could get at least SOME points. * "GO!" Cat yelled. Immediatly, Shelby Marie began swaying herself out towards the flags. "She's aiming for that one, worth two points." Shannan observed. * Shelby Marie: I kept trying, and trying, but even the smaller ones were out of my reach. I'm too small for this. *laugh* Anyways, I finally just used ALL of my strength. * Shelby Marie's hand snatched a flag labeled '2'. "She's gotten a flag!" Cat announced. "OH MY GOD!" she screamed with excitement. She then launched herself towards another flag. After a few tries, she got that one too. "Shelby Marie just took another one!" Michael stated. Shelby Marie then touched the ground. * Shelby Marie: I really didn't think I could get anywhere with that challenge, but I did! I feel pretty proud of myself! * "Its official," Cat told the two at the top of the cliff, "Shelby Marie got one flag marked 2, one flag marked 1, giving her a total of 3 points. So Bettina, now you have a little competition?" "Yeah, but I don't think I'll have too much trouble getting flags. It doesn't look that hard." she stated. "Well, lets find out just how hard it is! You're up!" * After getting strapped into a harness, Bettina was ready to go. "On my count...one....two....three...GO!" Bettina jumped over, and began swinging for flags, but instead got twisted about. * Bettina: I got a little out of control, as my rope twisted. For a while, I sat there spinning. * "Yikes!" Shelby Marie said, watching, "That doesn't look like fun." Bettina landed on the ground, empty handed. "Bettina," Cat said, joining the group at the bottom, "What happened?" "I have no clue, but I just started spinning," Bettina said, "Something went really wrong." "Well, lets watch Josh, as he comes down. * Josh: I for one didn't want this to be a repeat of Boston. I was GOING to get points, and lots of them." * Josh jumped over, and began the rappel. "Here he comes," Cat announced, as everyone began to watch. Josh swung out towards a flag marked 25. He managed to grab it. After that, he tried to get one that said 50, but after a short while, passed it. Once that was done, he gave a shot again at another 25, but passed that too. * "He's not getting many flags anymore," Cat said, "But right now, he is in the lead!" * Josh then aimed for one far out marked 100. After a few tries, he gave up, and instead went for a third 25. This he managed to get. He then took the last flag, a nearby '2'. Josh landed on the ground with 52 points. "Alright Josh, congrats to you! You are currently in the lead! Here is the full scoreboard: 1. Josh: 52 points 2. Shelby Marie: 3 points 3. TIE: Bettina, Michael, and Shannan: 0 points "But now, lets head to Dinner," The 5 contestants and the host gathered at a Japanese Restaurant. Here, they began to discuss many topics: * Host: So tonight, its Celebrity Fear Factor 3. Of the contestants, who do you think will win? Do you know of any of them? Michael: I only know who Barry Williams (aka Greg Brady) and Penn & Teller are...and I hope they lose (evil chuckle). Shelby Marie: I want Keshia Knight Pulliam or Penn and Teller! :D Host: In all honesty, I don't know any of them too well. However, Keshia I also remember, and I do think it would be neat to have the Cosby girl win. * Host: So lets have a little political discussion here: What is your take on abbortion. Remember, everyone has their own opinion. Josh: I am pro-abortion Michael: I am anti-abortion. Have the baby and put it up for adoption...give it a chance to live... Host: I say it should depend on the situation. Sometimes they aren't able to put it up for adoption, in which case an abortion should be done. What if the person has been reaped? * Josh: Lets take a poll here, what is your favorite reality show? The Mole-- *2 people raise their hand* Big Brother-- *nobody raises their hand* Fear Factor-- *Host raises his hand* Host: I did start the game for a reason! :D * After the hearty meal of sushi and teriyaki chicken, the contestants all were driven back to their hotel in Atlanta, and got a good night's sleep. Tomorrow would be a new challenge. * *** * The 5 contestants arrived at the Atlanta Zoo. They were walked to the petting section. "Hello, and here we are at the petting zoo in the Atlanta Zoo. Don't you think these creatures are cute?" Shelby Marie smiled, but with a confused look. "No, your challenge isn't to pet bunnies and cats, junk like that. We've created our OWN petting zoo here...follow me." Cat opened the door to a dark shed, as all 5 contestants sat down. "Alright, I need all of you to pick a number between 1 and 5." "4" Josh said. "4" Shannan said. "4" Michael chose. "Do we see a theme here?" Cat asked. "5...to make things interesting." Bettina said. "1." Shelby Marie stated. "Alright, here is the task! "YOUR NUMBER REPRESENTS YOUR VERY FIRST CRITTER YOU'LL BE PETTING. YOU'LL HAVE TO TOUCH YOUR CRITTER FOR ONE MINUTE. EACH PET YOU TOUCH FOR THE FULL 10 MINUTES IS 10 POINTS." Shelby Marie, you get this first--" Cat pulled the cover off of the cage. Inside was a snake. Shelby Marie shrieked. * Shelby Marie: I don't like snakes. They bother me. * "You 3, will be getting this treat!" Cat lifted the cover off of the cage, to reveal a bee hive. "OH NO!" Shannan stated. "And last but not least, cage number 5 is--" As he tore off the cover, the lion roared from inside. "NO I am not doing that." Bettina said. "You quit already?" "From the whole task...I don't like wild animals like these." * Bettina: I do have some fears, and that is my extreme. They can push me to a pretty high limit, but not THAT high. * "You know, I already have 3 points, and if Bettina isn't doing the stunt, I won't either." Shelby Marie announced. * Shelby Marie: As long as I'm not eliminated, thats my motto. * "Alright, so Shannan, Michael, and Josh, you three are still in. Your minute starts now." All of them had their hand on the hive, as bees sped around. "Remember, you can always pass on any animal, or drop out entirely whenever you want." The 3 waited there. * Shannan: It was about 20 seconds in, when I shifted my hand on the hive, and thats when it happened. * "OUCH!" Shannan exclaimed, as she immidialtly pulled her hand out. She began rubbing the place where the bee had stung her. "Don't do that!" a medic said. "Go over to the medical station," Cat stated, as Shannan did. "In the mean time, you two did earn 10 points. The next petting animal Shannan won't be able to participate in." Cat then smiled, "But you guys WILL move on to number 5. Its tme to meet the BIG cat!" * Michael: That guy looked scary. I didn't feel all that comfortable resting my hand on it. * 45 seconds in, the lion shifted, and then yawned. "AHCK!" Josh said, straining to reach at the lion's back. "TIME! Both of you have passed." * Shannan: I wasn't THAT upset I was forced to pass on the lion, I was planning to do that anyways." * "Okay, so now its onto animal #2!" Michael looked down at the snake. "You know, I DO have 20 points...and well...I'll drop out." "The whole thing?" Cat asked. "I'm not sure I WANT to know what numbers 3 and 2 are." Michael stated, and then laughed. "Alright, Shannan and Josh, you must keep your hand on the HEAD of the snake for a minute, starting NOW!" * Josh: The snake wasn't that bad. It was the easiest of them. I don't get why everyone else quit. * "TIME!" Cat announced. Both Shannan and Josh pulled their hand out of the bin. "Alright, Shannan you now have 10 points, Josh you now have 30. Next up, is animal #2." Cat pulled off a cover to reveal 2 tarantulas. Shannan squirmed. "Are you going to do it?" Shannan sighed, "Yes, I will." * Shannan: I'm not fond of spiders, but I'm not afraid of them. I just don't like the way they look. * Both of them placed their hand on the arachnids. * Josh: Yes, I have a thing for spiders, but I need points this round! * The one minute whizzed by, as both Shannan and Josh made it passed. "So, we have one final one. Here it is!" Cat revealed a tank of fish. "Those fish are a form of PIRANNAHS! Yes, the flesh eating fish. You will have to put your hand in the tank for one minute. "I have my limits," Shannan said, "I'm not insane. I'm not doing it." Josh shrugged, "I'll give it a try!" * Josh: They aren't going to have me die on the show! So I'm going to do anything they throw at me. * "I can't believe you're doing this," Bettina gasped. Josh shoved his hand into the tank, as the minute began. The fish circeled his hand. "10 seconds in." "I don't want to be in that situation," Shelby Marie stated. At 30 seconds, one fish approached Josh's hand. "YIKES! It looks hungry," Cat laughed evilly. Josh just looked away. "Its nibbling on your finger!" Bettina exlaimed. "10 seconds left!" "Come ON!" Josh said, encouraging himself. "3....2....1....TIME!" Josh jerked his hand out of the water. "And for the record," Cat spasms said, "They were a form of pirannahs, the man eating fish, but they don't like flesh. They HAVE been known to approach human skin though, so we just wanted to scare you." "Oh NOW you tell me," Shannan stated, "I wouldn't have backed out then." "Okay, here are the scores: 1. Josh: 102 points 2. TIE: Shannan and Michael: 20 points 4. Shelby Marie: 3 points 5. Bettina: 0 points "Well then, you have one more task ahead of you, tomorrow. And the scores can completely change because of them! Good luck!" * *** * The 5 gathered together in the Olympic Stadium. 5 chairs were set up for them, as Cat Spasms stood at a podium 30 feet away. "Go ahead, sit down." Cat said into a mike. The contestants, looking puzzled, all did. "On your seats, you will see blindfolds. Put them on." All 5 did. Soon, a crew surrounded them, and strapped them into harnesses. "Alright, I shall now push this button, and your seats will be raised high up enough so you can see." The seats were raised up. "Whats going on?" Michael asked. "You're are getting prepared for your 3rd task, the final one for one of you. Now, on the count of 3, I want you to pull down you blindfolds, so they are around your neck. 1....2....3!!!" All the contestants did. At that point, a fire was ignited from below them in their seats. "OH MY GOD!" Shelby Marie screamed. * Shelby Marie: I was not expecting that at all...this game continues to surprise me more and more! "YOU WILL BE SITTING IN THIS CHAIR FOR TWO MINUTES. DURING THOSE 2 MINUTES, YOU WILL HAVE TO KEEP YOUR HEARTRATE UNDER 130 BEATS PER MINUTE. IF IT EXCEEDS THIS AMOUNT, YOU WILL PLUMMIT TOWARDS THE FLAMES BELOW YOU! ONCE THE TWO MINUTES ARE DONE, WE WILL AVERAGE YOUR BPM. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR AVERAGE BMP, AND THE AVERAGE FOR SITTING (70) WILL BE THE NUMBER THAT DETERMINES YOUR SCORE. THIS NUMBER WE MULTIPLY BY 2, THEN SUBTRACT FROM 100. THIS WILL GIVE US YOUR FINAL SCORE." "Now, since we are SOMEWHAT kind, we have gotten Cardiologist, Dr. Brown. He will give you advice on how to maintain your heartrate as low." Dr. Brown stepped up on the podium. "Well, I can't give tons of advice, because there is no 100% certain technique for controling the heart. However, it is usually best to take deep breathes. You've probably heard that before, but it really slows down your heart rate. Also, the less you move, the lower it will be. Try to not cringe, shift in you seat. Close your eyes, like you are almost about to sleep. Ignore what is going on around you. That will probably get it below 130. As for keeping it at 70, not having eaten in the past 2 hours can help. Try to really slow down the functions of your body. Don't be tense, ESPECIALLY. With that said, Good Luck." Cat nodded, and stepped back up to the podium. "Well, good luck indeed! You'll need it. Ready?" Shannan nodded. "The challenge starts NOW!" Everyone sat there. Bettina, Josh, and Michael closed their eyes. Shelby Marie almost immediatly fell towards the fire. "AHCK!" she screamed. She hung over the fire, waiting. Shannan was the next to fall. * Shannan: I knew it was coming, I could hear my heart beating pretty loudly. * 3 remained seated over the fire: Michael, Bettina, and Josh. "You do realize that on the screen over there, you can see your current bmp, one minute in. Michael: 104 Bettina: 96 Josh: 112 Michael opened his eyes. Then, without thinking, shifted in his seat. his BMP went up to 20 nine. He closed his eyes tight, and took a deep breath, just when he fell. "3 of you are hanging over the fire," Cat asked, "How is it?" "Can we come down yet?" Shannan asked, looking at the bonfire nervously. "NOPE! You'll have to wait. Its your penalty for failing the task." At that moment, Bettina's BMP went to 131, as she fell towards the fire. She groaned. "1 minute, 30 seconds!" Josh finally fell. The fire stopped. * "Well, you all failed that task, as nobody earned any points. Therefore, the score stands, and I'm sorry to say this, but Bettina, you have become the second eliminated from Fantasy Fear Factor." Bettina sighed, as she took her suitcase. "Bye guys," she said, as she then made her way towards the exit of the stadium. * Bettina: I THOUGHT I could do better, especially after getting so many points last round. But oh well. Good luck to everyone else!" * Cat turned back to the contestants. "Now, everyone, put your blindfolds back on." Michael, Shannan, Josh, and Shelby Marie all looked surprised. "Come on, we didn't give them to you for practically no reason. Put them on." They all did. "We are now going to take a little trust walk, towards the outside. Turn about 90 degrees to your right, and grab the person there. Josh, grab onto me. This is not a challenge." "What is it then?" Shannan asked. "It is time, for your first vote on..." Cat smirked. ******* |
