To retrieve the items from the barrels, they would have to unscrew them from the bottom and match them with the corresponding items from the dumpsters. The team to match four items fastest would win a four-day trip to Las Vegas and $20,000. No one would be eliminated in this stunt. Stunt #3 (Pavement drag) Both team members would be hanging on to handlebars attached to a helicopter and be dragged across pavement on their stomachs. Along the way, they would crash through three exploding walls and a wall of barrels before coming up to a finish line. They would have to let go as close to the finish line as possible. The team to get the least combined distance from the finish line would be Fear Factor Champions. Home Invasion Stunt (Worm wine) Competing in this week’s Home Invasion segment would be the Whitman family of Dubuque, Iowa. One family member would have to grab worms from a bowl and put them in a meat grinder, another family member would have to grind the worms to make the slop spill into a glass, and a third family member would have to drink the slop. If they could do this, they would win a $5,000 Capital One credit card.

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.

This episode was part 2 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 #3 (Psycho Shower Rescue) The women would be handcuffed to the showerhead in one of the Bates Motel rooms as blood rained down on them. Outside, the men would have to unscrew an axe from the bottom of an ice chest filled with disgusting slop and use the axe to chop down the door to the room. They would then have to find a key which would be hidden in a vase, a potted plant, a lamp, or a nightstand. Once they had had the key, they would have to chop down the bathroom door and use the key to free their partner from the handcuffs. The couple to complete this stunt fastest would have two options: They could accept a pair of customized bikes from Metropolitan Choppers or be exempt from the next stunt. They would have to give the prize they didn’t choose to another couple. No one would be eliminated in this stunt. Stunt #4 (Street luge flag snag) The men would be lying on a sled being pulled behind a hearse as a semi truck followed behind. The women would be on the back of the hearse and would have to turn a crank to unwind the cable attached to the sled, getting the men closer to the truck. The men would then have to reach up and grab a flag on a pole jutting from the front of the truck. Once they had the flag, the women would have to tow them back in, take the flag, climb over the hearse, and clip the flag to a flagpole on the hood. The couple with the slowest time would be eliminated. Back at the Bates Motel, the remaining couples would be receiving an unpleasant surprise… Home Invasion Stunt (Eat banana slugs) Competing in this Home Invasion would be the Easton family of Queens, New York. Three family members would have one minute to eat four banana slugs between them. If they could do this in the time limit, they would win a $5,000 Capital One credit card.

This episode was part 3 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. At the end of the last episode, the couples were unpleasantly surprised when thousands of Madagascar hissing cockroaches came crawling out of the holes in the walls. At the beginning of this episode, they were informed that whichever couple could collect the most roaches and keep them alive until morning would win a prize. Stunt #1 (Eat the Camel Spider) Both partners would be bound in straight jackets and have to work together to get free as fast as possible. But first, each person would be given the opportunity to eat two live Iraqi Camel Spiders, each worth 30 seconds off their time, giving each couple the chance to deduct up to two minutes off their time. The couple to take the longest escaping from the straight jackets would be eliminated. Stunt #2 (Psycho House explosion) Racing head-to-head, the women would be in an upstairs room of the Psycho House unscrewing caps from sticks of dynamite and tossing them out the window. Meanwhile, the men would be outside assembling detonators. The first man to get his detonator assembled would attach a wire to it and use it blow up the Psycho house and send the women hurtling through the air. The man who got the detonator assembled first would get an additional two sticks of dynamite. The couple who got the most sticks of dynamite out the window (including the two added ones for fastest time) would be Psycho Fear Factor Champions and win $250,000. Home Invasion Stunt (Gulp and grab) Competing in this Home Invasion would be the Scholtz family of Evansville, Indiana. One family member would have their head inside a tank full of dirt and earthworms. Buried in the in tank would be five keychains, each worth $1000. Five family members would be lined up. On go, the first person would have to down a shot of blended worms, nasty cheese, rotten milk, and retrieve a keychain from the tank. The next person in line would repeat the process until all five had gone. The number of keys they could retrieve in one minute would represent the amount of money they would win from Capital One.

Family duos take part in stunts that include hanging from a speeding helicopter and eating scorpions that they must retrieve from the grill of a semi truck.

Four teams of executives face stunts that include escaping from a submerged car and climbing on top of a moving bus.

Couples face stunts that include being catapulted off a building towards a cargo net and transferring snakes off their partners with their mouths.

The four new teams of couples assemble: Joel and Andrea, "party people" who met in Vegas; DJ and Brooklyn, a careful 19-year-old number cruncher and an 18-year-old risk taker; Todd and Carole, a married couple out to prove that 50 is a badge of honor; and Roberto and Tanya, a determined power couple. Their first challenge involves getting catapulted off a building onto a rope net, where they must gather 10 flags a piece as quickly as possible while being rained on the entire time. The team with the worst time is eliminated.

Struggling to keep their wits about them, contestants in this episode have to endure being bound and locked in a cage that is slowly submerged underwater while their teammate has to dive in and struggle to free them before they run out of air. At the aptly named “Fear Factor Food Truck,” teammates are forced to eat a box lunch of live cockroaches and giant grasshoppers, accompanied by a side dish of rat hair chips and a special salsa topped with maggots. In the final stunt, one team member must leap back and forth from a swerving bus to a trailing car driven by his/her partner, in a timed race to retrieve flags the fastest. One team will remain standing and claim the $50,000 cash prize.
