Fear Factor Season 6 Episode 4

Psycho Fear Factor (1)

This episode was part 1 of 3 in a series featuring six couples staying at the Bates Motel from the movie Psycho and competing on the set where the movie was filmed for a grand prize of $250,000. Stunt #1 (Buried alive) This first stunt would take place in front of the infamous Psycho house. Going two couples at a time, the women would be locked in coffins with rats and super worms and be buried under two tons of dirt. The men would have to dig them out using shovels and open the coffins. Once free, the women would have to dig through a pile of dirt and worms to find a key. The three winning couples would automatically advance to the next round and get to vote on which one of the three losing couples would be eliminated. Between stunts, the couples would be staying in the Bates Motel. When they checked in, it was not what they were expecting. Stunt #2 (Snake Water Escape) In the basement of the Psycho house, both members of each couple would be locked in one side of a divided water tank with 100 snakes. Taking turns, they would have to go under the water and use a knife to cut ropes blocking a hole in the wall between the two sides of the tank. Once enough ropes were cut, both people would have to swim through the hole and surface on the other side of the tank to stop the time. The two slowest couples would be up for elimination. The other three couples would get to vote on who was eliminated. Home Invasion Stunt (Bobbing for squid) Competing in week’s Home Invasion would be the Scott family of Orlando, Florida. One family member would have to use their mouth to retrieve five squid from a tank of squid ink and place them in the hands of family members. If they could complete this stunt in one minute, they would win a Capital One credit card worth $5,000.
