Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Stunt Game Show / Reality Show hybrid that featured contestants attempting to outperform each other in various stunts to win $50,000 cash. Each show usually featured at least one stunt involving heights, one involving coming face-to-face with or consuming something revolting, and one involving a Hollywood action movie-type feat. Failure to complete a stunt, being too scared to attempt it, or placing too low resulted in elimination.The show usually pitted six individual contestants (three men and three women) against each other, but occasionally featured couples or teams competing. Also, special tournaments were held in which players could win much more than just $50,000.A 2011 Revival aired for one year on NBC, still on Monday nights, still with Joe Rogan hosting.In 2017, MTV rolled out its own revival, hosted by Ludacris. It also lasted one year.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with Fear Factory, an industrial metal band.

All or Nothing: Losers left with nothing, unless they had won a designated "prize stunt" earlier. It was theoretically possible for the prize to be split, if all but one of the contestants/teams refused to participate in a challenge, in which case the contestant(s) who did undertake the challenge would immediately be awarded half of the prize, with the remaining half being left up for grabs. This happens about Once a Season and 3 times, the winner has won the second half as well.

comment
Beware the Quiet Ones: Season 5 Episode 28 had a challenge that ended with 3 people moving on rather than 4. Two of them were rivals who were stealing the whole show. The third contestant barely got any focus and really any mention of him was just about how quiet he was compared to the other two. Ultimately he creams them in the first and third challenges and wins the $50,000.
