Fear Factor (British game show)

As the show started, Sanders gives an opening statement, and this is one most commonly used:

Imagine a world where your greatest fears become reality. Welcome to Fear Factor.

Then, he gives a verbal disclaimer. The wording has changed with certain versions, but also, this is one most commonly used:

The stunts you're about to see are designed and supervised by trained professionals. They are extremely dangerous, and they shouldn't/should not be attempted by anyone, anywhere, anytime.

This version has two teams of three contestants. They are known as the red team and the green team. They all take part individually in the first stunt, chosen randomly by Ed. In the second stunt, two contestants from each team chosen by their opponents do it, and in the third and final stunt, it can vary.

In the first stunt, the four contestants from any team that complete a stunt in the fastest time would bank their teams £3,000. In the second stunt, the contestants who completes a stunt would bank their teams £3,000. And in the third and final stunt, the person from any team, or the team that complete a stunt in the fastest time would bank their teams £5,000 and win the total money.

For its third and final series, the programme became Celebrity Fear Factor, with each team now consisting of three celebrities playing for charity.

The first series was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, while the 2nd & 3rd series was filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
