'Fear Factor' Heads to Vegas

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - NBC's stunt show "Fear Factor" will leave California for the first time in January to tape an episode in the neon glow of Las Vegas.
In addition, the public will be allowed to watch the taping of two stunts for the first time in the show's history. The 90-minute episode is scheduled to air sometime in the spring.
The first stunt will take place in downtown Vegas, with the six contestants headed to the roof of the Fremont Street Experience -- the 90-foot-high canopy of lights over a four-block area in the city's old gambling area. The public can watch the stunt from 8 p.m. to midnight Sunday, Jan. 5.
Three days later, on Wednesday, Jan. 8, contestants will have to take part in a stunt at the pyramid-shaped Luxor hotel on the Strip. Bleachers will be set up outside the hotel.
NBC doesn't reveal the details of its stunts until the contestants find out about them at the taping.
The gross-out portion of the episode will take place in the presidential suite at the Mandalay Bay hotel, which is normally reserved for "whales," the industry term for ultra-high rollers. And, in a final twist, the episode's winner will be required to bet half of his or her winnings on a blackjack hand at the casino.
That's real interesting that they are allowing an audience for 2 of the stunts. But I really think they should do the gross-out part of the stunt in front of the audience also. It would be fun watching how many in the audience start throwing up all over each other.
And I like that final twist, half of his or her winnings will be bet on a blackjack hand. Should be a fun episode.
